Part-5

Tucking that wide smile on his lip corner, he looked deep into her eyes as he entered their room with so much love and hope. She just gazed back in his eyes as if she is in a dream'

He slowly placed her on the bed. Radhika jerked as her body touched the softness of the bedding.

Dev with a smile: one minute...

She watched as he went near to the cupboard , turned and looked at her once, and then picked a comfy night dress out.

Dev neared her : Radhika , go freshen up' ..and ha, don't take much time. I am tired too'

RAdhika in trance just took the dress from him and went to the washroom'.. when she came back she saw him working on his laptop, resting his back on the headrest of the bed..

Dev looked at her face and a small chirp of smile appeared at the corner of his lips: Radhika, you sleep ….. ok, I have something urgent came on my way, need to figure it out now, goodnight .. he dig his eyes back into the screen..

Radhika just gazed back at him, and then walked to the other side of the bed and lay on her side. She was doing everything in trance, as if an automatic machine. Dev just watched her moves within his peripheral vision, still keeping an eye on his laptop. She pulled the covers on her.. time just passed by..

as Dev done with his work, he placed his laptop to the side, looked sideways and found Radhika laying facing away from him..

He went and got fresh up , tried to settle on the edge, he tried to pull on to the covers.. but suddenly the other end got pulled back simultaneously .. he turned and smiled.. he saw the space between them.. the shining of the black beads on her neck made him to move near to her body.. she still laying on her side.. he felt happy that she didn't take that off as that is a symbol of his hope now...

Dev's mind started flying off to the memories, she coming late to his office when he was struggling to find those urgent papers for presentation and ignoring his angry glare and his shouting , she just went and took the file out and went to the presentation room completely avoiding his fiery eyes, as if there is no use for that reasoning at that time, and many at times refused to sit near him or knowingly kept her eyes away to put him in frustration in front of the delegates,

…..and now, she is his, laying comfortably next to him.. he over stretched to see her sleeping face, he could see only the side profile.. his hands stretch out to turn her to see the shining moon completely, but pulled it back as not to disturb her.

…..as if hearing his mind wish, she turned onto her back, '.. he smiled and looked at his sleeping angel face with a lovely smile'..he propped his head on his right hand... smiled thru as he watched on her face, ' …. He wanted to pull her in his arms.. but he doesn't want to wake her up, also he doesn't want to embarrass her.. . the time was passing by.

His eyes were wide awake. He didn't feel any tiredness at all.. even though he was with his Radhika for last couple of days at the hospital, and before that he was struggling for a week, to get back to her, his mind was completely occupied by her thoughts ..

…..I don't know when I lost my face in front of you. I prefer to keep that distance from everyone, especially after I realized there is no love, for me the money and status were secondary, I just wished for a small happy family, but when I came to know the true intention behind her (his old relationship) was only my money , nothing else, I got shattered, she broke my heart very hard, and took some time for me to come back to face the reality. And once I came back I put all my energy into my business, and I became so arrogant, and I put no limits to climb those stairs of success. I always looked to the front, I walked faster on my path in that direction, and the left or right was unable to turn my attention away, until you came and stood in front of me.

It was Gopal das who appointed you as my secretary, and soon your loud voice started filling over mine inside the office and you never cared whether I was in there or not. And only you showed that guts to stand in front of me, facing my glares whereas others used to hide away with my walk in. You forced me to look sideways to grab the attention, and never cared whom I am talking to. You always told me that you are right. When you won't come to office, I felt like there is no one exist in the office and many of times I started looking sideways to see you around. To hear your voice around.

Dadi fell for you right then, especially after seeing you speaking loud standing next to me. You didn't dare to call Berkha loudly asking her to join you for lunch, while I stood quiet looking at Dadi's surprised face….. you were still that innocent shivpur girl, the speed of the city never shaded that out from you.

I was holding your hand in front of the media, you walked away from me seeing the flashes around, reading the news in those papers, which one way tried to show me down. and you fell in their trap and you left my hand in front of them… You failed to acknowledge my love, that is what hurt me, once again you pushed me into that darkness, where I hide myself , but then my ego wanted to show you that that I can live without you, I can move on in my life without you, …

... Now you are mine. Maybe I am overruling your silence, but i have no other choice other than holding you closer to me. You got hurt because of your situation, your experience with life. And I am confident that I can help you to come out from it Radhika, I can't lose you anymore. One way I am responsible for your loss too. But life is not ending here. You came to my life with so much sound, your voice gave me the energy to look at the days differently, your smile brought the colors into my life...

……but now even though you came back to my life very silently, you brought the hope with it. see I did all my pending works within matter of time. I just need you near by me, I just want to see you safe. I just want to start and end my day with listening to your heartbeat..You will realize it soon, and you will be back as my chatterbox, then I will hear your loud voice again.. .. he smiled again at that thought..

The loose hair was just fanning over her face and he could see the irritation on her face as she tightened her forehead. His long fingers touched her hair and softly tucked that behind her ears.. he looked at her calm face… few minutes passed by, suddenly, she turned to his side and wrapped her arms over his flank. He got shocked, he felt the happiness.. with that shy smile,he snuggled down slowly, and she just crawled into his curves and settled comfortably under his body warmth.

… His heart skipped few beats, he tried to feel her heartbeat near to his. hers was calm and rhythmic, but he felt his fluttery... , he felt his eyes wet for a moment, he saw the bright red color on her forehead that reminded him of her acceptance of him as hers... then with the happiest smiley face, he slowly wrapped his arms around her, he lay there looking into her face, so close'...

he looked at her long eye lashes'... he thought 'are you dreaming?', he saw her pink slender lips, and the charming cheek.. The moon was smiling up in the sky and the stars were twinkling'...

Dev Purohith closed his eyes with a very light heart after a long time, may be after so many years, as he felt the relief to all these years of agony and loneliness.. he dreamed of that night where she said to him…

" Dev Sir, I think you are waiting to embrace the biggest happiness in your life for long time and I am sure it will come to you one day without asking your permission, through that open doors, and then you will surely smile looking at this world around you" while saying that the rain drops were tickling down her face and her body..
