Chapter # 8:
Nupur was sitting in the center of the bed covered with rose petals, she was again and again taking deep breaths and trying to think about all that gunjan told her, that her dreams are about to come true, but still her fear was not reducing. She could feel her hands shivering and so she kept them holding tight in each other's hold and closed her eyes. It was when a certain sort of peace was about to engulf her that she heard the door knob turn. She felt her heart stopped there; unconsciously she cuddled up to herself and entwined her fingers tightly with each other.
She had no power and courage to raise her head, she was just concentrating on the sounds.
The door opened, and then it was closed again in an interval of about 5 seconds, next she heard footfalls advancing towards her and with every foot fall, her heartbeat was rising, when finally she felt the bed shift and she closed her eyes tightly , pressing fingers of both hands over each other firmly and took a deep breath.
"this is not fair!",
His deep and coarse voice echoed in the silent room and the thumping of her heart became loud enough to be audible.
"tum ne tu ankehin hi band kar lin hai, and here i was thinking maybe we'll have our first eye lock,", and with this he leaned closer to her and inhaling his strong Armani perfume, which had almost made her nerves go bersk, she slowly opened her eyes, but still kept them lowered.
"hmmm, so do you now mind if I look into the deep eyes of my wife?", he smiled and nupur ' who was trembling with nervousness, couldn't help the curve form on her lips.
Although mayank was enjoying her nervousness, but this slight smile gave him a strange sort of tranquility that he couldn't comprehend, so inching a bit closer, he placed his palm over her cheek and softly raised her head.
That contact of his hand made her cheek boil and she could feel all sorts of alien sensations running throughout her body, because the very next moment, she felt his breath on her cheek, "you look beautiful nupur", he whispered with the softest possible voice and pressed his lips over her cheek, and nupur shut her eye lids with a jerk. He kept his lips lingering over her skin for a while and when he moved away, she opened eye-lids again with a sharp intake of breath
"I have seen you in so many dark colors, brown, blue, green, purple, .. but this red suits you the best", he rubbed his thumb over her cheek.
It was not that nupur had never heard her praise. It was only her belief that she was not pretty because of her dusky complexion, but people around her, her loved ones had always made her believe that she was beautiful, but today for the first time, she actually wanted to believe in her praise, for the first time she wanted to leave away all those fears and feel proud, because her husband was praising.
His thumb was still rubbing softly over her cheek and she smiled fully,. Her nervousness and shiver had almost diminished, "by the way I am still waiting for you to honor me by raising your eyes", he sighed and biting her lower lip, she batted her eye lids for a couple of times and raised them slowly to find that he was already intently staring.
She had looked in them for the first time and every fiber of her body contracted with love for that sincerity she saw in them, "I think I was wrong before", his voice yet again echoed and with jerk she lowered her eyes, "your eyes are much more beautiful than you",
Even with lowered eyes, she could feel that he was smiling, and finally gaining some confidence, she decided to speak, "you are flattering"
"no I am not!, I never flatter", he stated it, as if a matter of fact and nupur looked up again to find him smiling and this time she smiled back, looking in his eyes and the glows on their faces matched.
"okay now there is something of which I am very excited, ", he said excitedly and nupur's mouth was left open, what was..
"this..", he took out a jewelry box from his pocket and nupur breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded herself on thinking too far.
"this is the first thing in my life which I have shopped all on my own!, can you imagine that!, I went alone for this, actually I didn't know that there is something u need to gift ur wife on wedding night, mujhe tu bhaiya ne bataya!, and can u imagine, I was about to call you k lets go shopping again and phir bhiaya ne danta, ye khud lo ja k, so I went alone and I chose it after one whole day's surfing! .. I just hope u like it", he was speaking on a spree and took a deep sigh at the end and nupur broke in a giggle.
"hey don't laugh!, this is serious!", he pouted and nupur felt like pulling his cheeks but well, it was too early, she'll do it later on, and blushing on this thought she made sure she concentered full on the box,
"pata hai I recollected all my observations and finally decided upon this", he opened the box, and in it was a plain diamond ring, with three small diamonds shimmering on the face of the ring. It wasn't lavish, but it was simple and it was beautiful
"how is it?", he asked very slowly, observing the expressions on her face and she looked up in his eyes, "this is something I would have chosen for myself", she smiled and mayank's eyes glowed, but then again he pouted, "you are serious na?,mera dil tu nai rakh rahi ho"?, he asked and nupur smiled "mian kisi ka dil nai rakhti", and mayank smiled on this remark of hers'.
Her eyes glow when she smiles, he thought.
His eyes shine when he smiles, she thought.
"okay then wear it", he extended the box to her and looked at her excitedly and nupur took the box hesitantly.
"pehno na!", mayank said again sensing there was no gesture from which he could say was leading to his wish
"main khud pehno?", she looked at him, widening her eyes, with all the confusion and mayank smiled, so quick, as if with a reflex action, and seeing that smile, nupur lowered her eyes, because next, mayank moved more close, and took the box from her hands, deliberately brushing his hand over her fingers, leading to shivers in her body held her left hand in his grip tightly.
There was complete silence, as nupur was looking at her hand in his grip, which was looking so perfect and looked up at him, but he was still looking at her hand, which was loaded with rings and he was frowning, again ignoring the impulse to pull his cheeks, she lowered her eyes, as now mayank's frown transformed in a naughty glint.
He brought her hand close to his mouth and moved more close to her, and she was just cuddling upto her. He took off the ring from her index finger and then kissed it, leading to displaced heart beat for nupur, and this happened with the other four fingers, as one by one he was taking off rings and kissing her fingers.
As he was done with taking off rings, her hand was now empty and he slipped the ring in the ring finger and placed a kiss on the ring. He looked up at her to find her blushing, as expected,
"by the way beautiful mehndi, your hands look gorgeous", he took both of her hands in his hands, and started taking off her bangles, "these things are hindering the view of such beautiful mehndi", he said huskily and nupur was just flowing over the gentle touch of his hand, he was taking of bangels, as if separating a rose petal from thorn, making sure that it doesn't tears apart.
Not for once did she feel the rough brush of gold against her skin, it was gentleness at it's peak.
"now it's perfect", he softly sad as he had taken off all her rings and bangels and was admiring the mehndi, "ye meri cousin priya ne lagayi hai", she said, looking the admiration in his eyes and slipped his arm across her waist, "hmm, priya, wo pink lehngey wali?', he smirked looking in her eyes and sensing the glint in her eyes she shook her head," nahi"
"acha, tu wo mauve sari wali thi?", he said placing a soft kiss on her earing and she sighed, "ap ne sari larkiyon ko notice kiya hai?", she asked looking in his eyes, as if loosing her strength on the teasing and mayank giggled, and whispered pulling her close, "sweetheart, you are very innocent for these sorts of plays", he kissed her cheek and nupur smiled.
Mayank moved his lips down her cheek to her jaw bone while nupur, sighing, crawled her hand upto his hair. He was placing butterfly kisses on her jaw bone and was about to pull away the necklace, when his hand pressed hard over one of the bangel on the bed and the stone pricked him, "ahh!"
"he led out a small gasp and both of then sprang apart with mayank holing his palm which had a small cut,
"oh, ye kangan ki waja se", nupur gained her breath and held his hand while mayank frowned, "yeah, but it's okay, nothing much", he smiled, "but we just lost the moment", he looked up in her eyes, smiling mischievously and nupur looked away, "by the way I guess I should just go change, I feel like monument in this sherwani", he smiled and kissed her cheek again.
He got up from the bed and nupur adjusted her duppatta which had been displaced a bit, 'nupur please ye sab bed se utha dena okay", he said going in the washroom and nupur felt red all over.
She got down the bed and collected all the bangels and rings, and glared at the kangan which just pricked mayank, but then laughing on her own tactic, she placed them on the dressing table.
She slowly took off all the pins which were holding the duppata on her head and then once it was off, she took the duppata on her shoulder and then took off her earrings and necklace. No doubt she felt so heavy with all that, and moreover all that was pricking her. Feeling light after taking off all the jewelry, she reached her hair bun and pulled out pins, and let her hair free, and in that very moment, mayank entered the room back and witnessed her hair falling down free from the clip down her waist like a gushing stream of water down a mountain.
"beautiful!", he exclaimed involuntarily and nupur turned to find him leaning on the washroom door and passionately gazing at her and feeling his burning gaze, she unconsciously reached for her duppatta and turned back to the mirror.
Having completely no idea what to do now, she cleared her throat, "ap ka cut thek ho gaya?", she tried to say normally, but her vocal chords failed her, conveying the blush, and although apparently she was separating the two entangled earrings but her ears were carefully following the footfalls, which were advancing towards her and in no time, his arm was slowly crawling around her waist and both the earrings fell from her hands.
Mayank, gripped her waist tightly and inhaled the fragrance of her thick tresses, "I never knew you had such gorgeous hair,", he kissed her hair and then with a jerk mayank made her turn in his arms, and her pupils dilated with this sudden gesture.
"you look so different, trust me I have never seen you this beautiful before".
Again and again hearing the word BEAUTIFUL was making her numb, and addition to that, mayank's hand was now brushing over her cheek and with every passing second he was inching closer, and finally so close , that nupur had to close her eyes. Their breath's mingled and heart beats synchronized completely, when leaving behind a slight apprehension and shyness in mayank's heart, he pressed their lips closer.
That contact made both of them feel a rush of emotions flowing through their blood and they both felt themselves burning.
Mayank's grip around her waist tightened and he pressed hard the cheek he was cupping, while nupur crawled her hands up his torso.
He could feel one of her hand roughly moving through his hair and the other around his neck, even that sharp dig of nails in his skin, but still ignoring all these, he concentrated on only one feeling ' that was the kiss.
The kiss was for a long time, it was until that their minds started to feel numb due to lack of oxygen that they pulled apart, breathing very heavily, but in sync.
"We should shorten the kiss for next time, this is life threatening", he whispered naughtily, and with his breath so displaced, the husky effect of his voice was multiplied while nupur just digged her nails deep in skin.
He reached for her arm around his neck and brought it close to his face, "you know you have injured my neck just with a kiss, I wonder what is going to happen when we ..
And sensing what was coming next from that sinful mouth of his, she again pressed their lips together, as if there was no other way to silence him.
Being taken aback for a second, he responded back, this time making it much more deep, with nupur's nail still scraping his neck.
This time nupur pulled back forcefully and mayank's face was questioning,
"you urself said to shorten the kiss for next time", she replied biting her lower lip, with eyes naughtily getting wide and smirking mayank, pulled her even more close, if it was possible, "you need not to be this obedient", he said caressing her neckline and moving fingers over her collar bone, while nupur's rational mind had stopped working to formulate replies so she just enjoyed the soft yet passionate way of his caress.
By the way I was informing you about my concerns regarding your wild ways', he said picking her up in his arms, and the gesture was so sudden, that she was shaken out of the trance, but not for long because he was still staring.
"I just thought that we should move away from that dressing full of jewelry, I don't want to lose out on more moments", he said walking towards the bed and she just closed her eyes tight, hiding her face in his shoulders and next she was placed over the silk bed sheet, and after that what she felt from mayank's nearness was something unexplainable.
**
It was near the dead of night, when she was almost asleep, that she woke up due to tapping on the window. She had just slept so slumber was weak, and moreover the grip around her waist, and breaths caressing her neck were making it hard for her to open her eyes, but still she managed to open, realizing it was indeed the sound of rain.
A smile crept her face!. The windows were covered with blinds properly but as it was silence and the rain was heavy, it wasn't difficult for her to guess the sound of her all time companion in dreaming. She turned her neck towards the window and an urge arose to open them and let those droplets come in, but then suddenly she remembered, she no longer slept alone in her room, where she could do whatever she wanted, she had a husband who was snuggling to her neck and holding her tight.
Blushing very hard, she slowly tried to remove the dipping fingers in her waist, but that resulted in her only to be pulled close, "you are seriously strange!, which bride leaves her bed on the wedding night?", he whispered half in sleep making sure the grip's strength turned strong and nupur ' yet again blushed from her hair roots to finger tips, "umm, nahi wo .. it's raining .. and the windows are closed so.. I thought,
"no need to think too much", he raised his head and looked in her eyes which she lowered, smiling he bend down on her neck again.
'I hope it didn't hurt much", he asked caressing the love bites and nupur winced over that touch,
"I am sure it didn't, because I was gentle,'', he kissed the marks and moved up her ear, "unlike you and your wild nails", he nibbled her earlobes and nupur digged her nails further on his back, to prove how right he was, while mayank pulled over the covers yet again, with the rain sound accompanying the moans and sighs in the room.
