"I Love Him!!"
These three words were enough to enlighten the darkness within her…darkness of ignorance, darkness of refusal, darkness of a delusion that Love couldn't happen but it did happen!!..It was Bound to happen
The answers to all the questions were given now…The cause of that weird feeling she was feeling since so many days…why she felt special for him….why she always wanted to be with him..Why she blushed every time he complimented her..Why his closeness affected her…why she loved watching him smile…
Today as he moved away from her…that is when she realized that she felt incomplete without him..He completed her….It was HIM whom she needed in her life now….nothing else….
Tough she never tried to run away from what she felt….but the realization took so much time..But somewhere deep down her heart she could see some kind of emotion shaping up for him..and today she just got a name for it..that is Love
She got up and moved towards the window….the cool and fresh breeze of air hit her face…It was the soothing effect after the rains and storm…A NEW beginning..A NEW realization after the storm of emotions…She smiled involuntarily…..thinking about the words which Mayank spoke at that moment
Nupur!!...I Love You!!!
Whatever happned today was just the consequence of the fact that I Love You!!
Did he actually need to tell her all that??...She already knew the extent of the purity of his love….
She smiled again….The best part about loving somebody is when you already know that other person too feels the same for you..and Nupur could say that with pride now..He loved her!!...and that was the best part...
She needed to tell all this to him…Now she couldn't more deprive Mayank of this happiness…He deserved it..They deserved it…!!!
But before that she wanted to apologize to somebody…Yes that was the perfect time to say sorry to him…After having understood what Mayank meant in her life..she started to feel guilty for not keeping the desired faith on that somebody…No he was not some "somebody".
She picked up the phone and dialed his no…..
"Hello!!"….The voice from the other side made her eyes wet yet again
"Hello!!...Papa??"
"Nupur???...Kaisi ho beta??"
A fresh stream of tears went down from her eyes….She missed her father so much…but she only realized it now…..Today she had experienced two biggest realizations of her life…
"Papa…I M SORRY!!."…
"Nupur..what happened beta?"
"Papa….I m really really sorry…for whatever I did to you…"…her tears couldn't see any stopping
"I really feel guilty for not having understood you..."
"Nupur….its ok beta…I knew…you'll realize it someday…I m glad you did it right before"
"Papa I really love you!!...and I today I realized it could not have been anyone else better than Mayank for me"
Her father smiled…realizing finally his daughter had understood the the reason of him getting Mayank married to her
"I finally know what this sacred thread of marriage means to me…I promise I'll always try my best to secure it"
"I love you too beta…..and I m really very happy today…God Bless you and Mayank always!!"
"Byeee Papa!!"
"Byeee"
She could not feel lighter…both in terms of guilt and havoc of feelings..Everything seemed soo Perfect now!!.with her Husband Mayank Sharma…..
She finally came downstairs only to find an empty living room..Her eyes searched for him but he was nowhere….She checked the whole house but she couldn't find him…
Just when she tried to open the main door she realized the door was being locked from outside..
She tried his mobile phone but he had left it at home itself……
It started raining once again!!
………………………………
Walking down the roads…he once again started reminiscing the moment which had just occurred between them…Why did he break down in front of her..Why couldn't he just not stop himself from flowing within that moment…why did he have to confess everything to her…He had no answers to those questions but only new problems to deal with…
How would he face her now…The only relationship which he shared with her that is Friendship…he himself broke it into pieces…
But she deserved to know it right.?...then what was wrong in it…??...He overflowing questions just made him more impatient…and then It started raining once again!!!!
…………………………..
Nupur was sitting down on the floor for the past 2 hours waiting for him..Continuously trying to while away the bad thoughts coming into her mind…God Forbid if anything happens..What would she do then…Thinking about it she started crying….Just then she heard the door lock getting opened and saw Mayank coming in…?
She quickly ran towards him and hugged him tight….allowing the tears to fall further..
"Kaha chale the tum??...itni der ho gayi hai..aur bahar baarish bhi kitni tez ho rahi hai…tumhe pata bhi hai main ktini dar gayi thi"…she snuggled into his chest while hugging him
He got a bit surprised at her reaction..He hadn't expected it to be like that…
"Nupur..woh main aise hi zara bahar tak"
"aise hi??..."….She broght her head up and looked towards him in distress
"Mr. Mayank Sharma…tumhe andaaza bhi hai yahan mujh par kya beet rahi thi jab tum 'aise hi' bahar chale gaye the??...kaise kaise khayal man mein aa rahe the…tum aise kaise kar sakte ho Mayank"
"Is tarah bina bataye kaise chale gaye tum…phone tak bhi nahi leke gaye"
He noticed her swelled up eyes filled with tears..Had she really cried for him or for what happened between them a few hours ago??
"I m sorry Nupur!!"
Realizing the need to be in his arms..she hugged him again..
"Mayank…aisa phir kabhi mat karna…You have no idea there is somebody here who really needs you..and is affected by you!".She spoke slightly…sinking in the feeling of utter relief and happiness being in his arms…
