Hey!! another one.. even this was writen for KR Anniversary 😳 please read and review! it means a lot to me.. and dont forget to hit like button 😛
Marry Me..
She looked up when she heard the knock at the door, her eyes were swollen, the mascara had spread all over her face.. she rubbed her eyes trying to clear the stains that made her feel as though her skin had dried up.
"Kria madam.." her maid called her slowly opening, she came in scanning the room.
Kria slowly tried to peep from her place, sitting down on the floor at the farthest corner of the room. her knees brought up to her chest, hair her was a big mess. The bed covers were blocking her vision to see the maid, her voice had long dried up.
"kria madam ?? are you inside ?" her maid called again.
She tried to get up, but slid on the floor grabbing her maid's attention. Her maid, an unmarried and past 30 years of age was not just a maid, she was like her own sister. She rushed over to the corner from her where kria was still trying to get up.
She bent over to pull kria up on her feet, kria held her maid's shoulders and tried, though she slipped a bit but she made herself stand on her own feet. Kria looked at the maid who was looking at her with pitiful eyes.
Kria let a sad laugh almost mocking at her own condition, as her maid made her lie on the bed she saw the bottle of beers that was spread on the floor and the number of small cigar buds that was lying in ash tray, she chuckled again.
"madam aap yeh kya haal banaya hai apna ??" maid asked her concerned.
Kria let another sad laugh but soon tears tickled on her eyes. she touched her tears and giggled "muje toh laga my tear glands had stopped working !!!" she laughed again.
"madam.. mei abi saab ko bulathi hoon.." maid said as she grabbed the phone.
Kria sat up straight on her bed with a stern face and said "NO"
Maid looked at her helplessly. "don't even dare to tell him whatever happened you got that ? and anyway I am leaving today.."
"par madam.." the maid tried to protest.
Kria stopped her "I have had enough here! I am going back. And kal raat ko wo nahi aya tha na ?" kria asked her maid with a strong pain in her eyes.
Maid went silent not knowing what to answer.
"he didn't even call ? am I right ?" kria asked again sternly. The maid nodded her helplessly.
"I am leaving today. If ever he comes back here tell him 'GO TO HELL!!!" saying that kria stood her feet dragging herself agresseively to the washroom.
She banged the door with all her strength taking the frustration.
She stood infront of the mirror placing her palm on the sink. She breathed heavily calming her nerves.
She looked up how messed her face was, those shattered mascara from crying like hell, the skin looked like it would rip off any moment. The dark circles under her eyes feared her. she closed her eyes trying to recall the last night events how dreadfully she gulped one after the other countless beer bottles along with cigarette. She was never alcohol slave, she never smoked in her life! but last night it was as though that all her lines had crossed their marks and went a miles ahead testing her patience! She had to give in after what he had done to her. he was a coward little bas***d she thought.
She shook her head not wanting to worsten her situation more, she frantically splashed water on her face removing those stains and dread skin. When she looked up her whole face had turned into a messy black tarnish.
She splashed some water and closed her eyes taking deep breaths.
She took a long cold shower and acted as normal as she could. Finally when she saw herself back in mirror she noticed her face wasn't glowing but it was surely clear. Just like her life! no more awsum fantastic life that it was, just plain and clear! She came out of the washroom glancing at room, candles shattered on the floor, roses dried up, those decorative stuffs ripped off. She had taken all her frustration on the things she decorated herself, trying to make it special. but sigh.

"sir ??" peon tapped his shoulders, he got up suddenly screaming "KRIA". the peon looked confusedly at him. rey calmed down and exhaled deeply.
"sir aap teek ho na ?" peon asked again.
Rey looked around, he was on his chair in his cabin. The files where shattered on the table like a huge mess, his fingers were numb. He felt heavy eyes and HELL tired. He tried to keep open his eyes, "I am fine.. what do u want ?" he asked him not politely though.
"sir its morning 9am. you had slept the last night here in the office. boss is calling you.."
He got up from his seat rubbing his eyes and tired face. His suit was shuffled up due to his sleeping position, he straightened himself and went to his boss's cabin.
"Reyaansh Singhania. Come in my boy.." his boss called him inside.
As rey entered his boss kept down the file he was looking at and dropped his specs on the table looking up tentatively at rey he said "come sit down.."
Rey agreed without a word. "whats the matter beta ?" boss asked him.
Rey felt a bit uneasy and guilty. He gathered himself and said "nothing sir.. I am fine.."
"but you don't seem to! Look at you have been quite disturbed lately and yesterday you slept at the office only.."
Rey looked up apologetically "im so sorry sir. I was working last night, I didn't realize when I dozed off.."
"but I do realize.." boss said smilingly.
"listen son. I know what your going through. Kria is like my daughter, just the way how your close to me, even she means something to me. and I love both of you when your together. I do realize something is going wrong between you both. But I suggest you both to speak and sort it out. bringing ego in between the relationships can only spoil it further, you gain nothing but you do lose. Correct it before its too late.."
Rey sighed knowingly.
"I am trying to.." rey said in a low tone putting his head down.
His boss smiled at him again "really ?" he asked half sitting on the table in front of rey.
Rey looked at his eyes confusingly trying to defend himself "have you ever put yourself in her shoes and thought about it ?" his boss asked. Rey didn't have words. He never thought like that, all it mattered was how she was treating him, what she done, what she wanted. But he never thought, what they wanted, how he was treating her, how much pain he was giving her.
His boss read the expressions on his face "think about it.." he said getting back to his seat.
Rey kept on thinking without uttering the word. His boss glanced up at him from his files, "I will give you a month leave.." his boss said. Rey looked up surprisingly.
"yess take some rest for yourself and for the love of your life..!"
Rey didn't know how to thank his boss, surely he did want a break from his work and his boss realized it so soon.
Rey sat on his car asking the driver to take home.

Kria placed her bags inside the car, hugging her maid she gave her the house keys. "these are my set of keys do give to him.." tucking her hands inside her coat she went to sit inside the car.
"kria madam. Please aise mat kijiye.." her maid requested her. she smiled at her innocence and said "its his decision not mine.." she said just like that and left on her car.
On her way towards the airport she recalled the moments she spent in Canada.
Kria and rey were college sweethearts after the graduation they moved to Canada building their career. Both got job in same company with different posts though.
Kria wasn't regular employee she was in the design team, she just had to visit the office once in two days. Hence she got a lot of free time which she spent in on her favourite hobby of writing novels or painting.
5 years had passed after shifting to Canada, being in a living in relationship was never her choice. She preferred married or commited more than this. But she could never think about rey cheating her! he was such a sweetheart. He never failed to surprise her, every moment she was upset he hugged her like his own kid, he consoled her by pampering all her idiotic demands. She was crazy for him neither was he less. Even in office, the time she would enter he would welcome her hugging and then leave to their duties. They wanted more of each other every day. The moment he would come after work, he would just hug her tight kissing feverishly as though that was his oxygen. He often hugged her when they were asleep like his own skin. She loved to nuzzle in his arms or stare him how cutely he slept. He would never be tensed whenever he was around her, he often told her how his worries runs way just by seeing at her once..
Then what had gone wrong ?
***
Perfect it was! Then what had gone wrong ?
He thought as his car came to the sudden halt due to heavy traffic. it was a sunny day. He rubbed his face and looked out. their car was right next to the pavement, he looked at the couples who were fighting. The couple were sitting on their table on the roadside restaurant. He observed them carefully. The boy frustratingly ran his hands down his head muttering something, while girl looked betrayed and was about to cry. He saw himself in that boy's figure. Few days ago he too had done something similar.
"REY!! please listen to me once.." kria pleaded. She never saw him so annoyed.
"what to listen kria ? didn't I make it clear ? how can I meet your parents ??" he asked her irritedly as he entered his room, and brushed his hairs frustratingly.
"why cant you ??" she shot back.
He turned looking straight at her eyes "we met them two months before kria! monthly once we have dinner at your parents house, weekly once or twice you keep visiting them, but you and me both know whenever I come along with you they taunt us to get married."
He said wrinkling his nose at the name of marriage.
She sucked in the temper that had boiled her nerves, keeping herself as calm as possible she asked "its high time rey! face it. we cant be like this like forever without getting married..".
He pushed her to the wall by caging her through his arms, his palms rested on both sides of her face he breathed in and out aggressively "didn't I tell you that I don't believe in marriage?" he looked at eyes straightly. She lowerd her gaze at the instant, there was heat erupting in his eyes as though he was bursting fire. He captured her lips aggressively making her lips swollen and bruise, later that night he made love to her twice or thrice she didn't know. Because it was out of anger not out of love! She knew it that she had just given invitation for the animal that will be hidden inside every human. Just that some things make them wild like they aren't human beings. Marriage was one such thing for rey. he had seen his own dad and mom fight like enemies after their marriage, in spite of the fact they knew each other from childhood. he had seen his own sister who came back home after 2 months of her married life claiming the love between them had vanished. Hell his own best friend, even today calls him up saying how bored and f**ked up his life has become after marriage.
If the animal side of rey was so aggressive then the real rey was more than a sweetie pie. She was sore the next morning, realizing what he had done he asked sorry first, then took leave. The whole day he didn't let her move out of bed. he took her in his own arms gave her the sweet bath making her moan and giggle, pampered her with feeding food like his own baby, kissed her to make her feel how important she is in his life..!
He had made up for her, but the problem didn't sort out. her parents invited them for a marriage of kria's cousin. In spite of rey's protests kria dragged him along.
It had just happened the way he feared, many of her relatives taunted of them turning into western, they taunted them that a couple who stay in same house without a marriage isn't gud in terms of family values. They even fired constant questions on them asking whats the reason. Rey had to just shut their mouth saying its their wish and dragged kria out of the function. He wasn't angry on her, but he just couldn't bare that gloomy look on her face.
Once whom she cried and begged him asking why cant he just marry her. he tried to ignore to his best, but when it crossed his limits he just shouted at her his decision would never change.
Kria cried a bit more in living room and went to guest room to sleep. he had closed the door of his room, she assumed he didn't want her near him, with broken heart she slept in guest room.
But when she woke up she saw him hugging her the way he did always, it made her proud because it was his way of saying he owns her. she smiled and turned around to see his sleeping figure. there was mixed emotions. His eye brows where knitted as though he was cautiously guarding something. His nose was a bit red clearely showing his pout. His lips where pursed showing the anger. But his cheeks slightly pink saying her was happy. years with him she knew him so well, she could make out what he feels with just seeing his skin.
He realized her stare at him, he opened his eyes, he looked her smiling face and a smile formed on his face too. she felt a sigh of relief seeing those knitted eye brows vanish to a clear ones. His lips curved upwards to a smile and his cheeks looked calm and sweet. He pecked her lips, then a he kissed her forehead lingering there for a bit longer he made her snuggle near the crook of his neck.
"why did you sleep here ?" he asked her sadly like a 5 year old whose toy was stolen.
"you closed the door, I thought u didn't want to be near me.." she said with a pout and hugged him even tighter fearing he would do that again.
"I didn't lock it!!! And don't you know I cant sleep without hugging you ? I cant open my eyes just like that ? I need u to be infront of me when I open and close my eyes! dare you do that again" he warned.
She was silent. She always loved the way how he made her feel how special she was in life.. !
***
"No matter how many times we fought we always made up to it.. he never slept without me.. he never woke up without me being infront of him, then whole night he didn't come home! What does that mean ? when he loved me so much why so harsh words last evening ?" she thought as her car stuck in traffic.
Last evening was bitter one.
They often fought for this topic but at the end of the day they were always in each other's arms.
But that evening her mom had told her a story of her life. how her mom had been in love with a guy and he dumped her after realizing she was pregnant. Kria shivered imagining her mom in such a situation. Her mom told her she had a miscarriage by not taking care of her baby. When her mom had married her dad everything changed, marriage isn't a responsibility, it's a beautiful feeling. It isn't a formality its bond that would make them into better individuals. Kria was amazed, she knew how much her mom loved her dad. What she didn't know was her dad loved her mom even after knowing what her mom had went through. Somehow these made her thoughts firm of getting married.
When rey came home she pressed the topic again. When he went annoyed she told him either they would get married or shift to different apartments.
Those mere words made rey look like his life was shattered. Once he felt like his heart was stabbed hard and the other moment it looked like the test kria had put up for his love. The anger filled in thinking about the latter. He felt she didn't trust him anymore. after listening to her mom's story he felt that kria thought he would leave her and go, run away from responsibilities which made rey broken. He screamed at her. they fought and it had unknowingly slipped from his mouth "you can leave from here if that's your decision!" he said and dashed out of the house.
After sometime when kria calmed herself down seeing their pictures, seeing at their life, she knew their relationship was different. It was sacred. She knew he didn't mean those words, she knew he would come back to her arms, she decided not to talk about this topic anymore until he himself ask for it. she smiled between the pain.
Hence she waited for him. decorating her room wid candles and flowes.. making the apartment look like a palace she waited for him. when the clock stuck 7 she excitedly waited for him to come home. But as seconds passed, as minutes rolled and hours skipped she gave up. She called his office at 11pm after getting no response on his cell for her 55 miss calls. The manager told her rey is doing over night, on asking to connect him, he had just spat at the manager saying "I don't want any f**king person to disturb me anymore!!" she heard him on the phone, she knew those words were for her. but those words said it all.. she had realized how much she had hurt him and how much hurt he returned back. She couldn't take it that's why she drank, she smoke thinking he would come home.. but no sign of him..
Her car halted at the aiport. She climbed down taking her bags. Her mom called, "mom.."
***
"im so sorry sir.. madam left.." the maid said again.
"WHERE ??" he yelled. But maid looked down, she didn't know the answer herself. "I don't know sir. 30 minutes before she left to airport.." the maid said.
Rey dashed out of the house with tears streaming down. He took his car abruptly on the highway reaching the airport.
once he reached there, he looked around. seeking help from his friend who works as a police guard inside tha airport he got approval to search in all possible places. But she was no where found. Everytime he wanted to give up he just couldn't he knew she wouldn't leave him like that. But he had done it all. He slapped himself making everyone notice him. he fell on his knees screaming "KRIAAA"
but again no response, he made announcement from the micro phone yet again no response. Someone told him she might have taken flight already. he didn't have any clue where she headed since her parents stayed in same city, he had no idea where she would go in such case. He felt betrayed as he stepped out of the airport his friend assured him saying he dig out some info.
He came home. The door was open.
"didi I am home.." he said slowly. He remembered how he had yelled at his maid. He wanted to apologize, he went to kitchen but no one was there.
He searched in other rooms again no one was there. he called out at her. no response, he then glanced at the time it was 6pm past.. which meant it wasn't her working hour. But then again the door was open. In the side table kria's keys where there in which maid had left him a note "kria madam asked to give these to you.." he took the keys and kissed it.. I wish you would come back kria.. I wish.. he said..
He heard some shuffling sound from the bed room before he could open the door knob his mobile rang "sorry bro.. kria hasn't taken any flights from Canada yet.." the caller said. His phone crashed to ground and he jerked the door open.
Kria was there.. his angel was casually setting up her room, just the way she usualy did before he was home.
She looked up to meet his eyes. he didn't know how to react, she smiled.. "your home ?" she asked and he rushed to take her in his arms. he almost made her bones get dislocate with his grip. It was breath catching hug, but she reciprocated the same back. With tears dancing on her eyes she kissed his ear lobe, his side of the neck his shoulders, his hair. she took his face in her hands and smiled.
"you wanted to leave me ?" he asked her about to choke.
"it was tit for tat for not coming home last night.." she said trying to joke. His serious face made her straighten.
"you said it.." she responded.
"I am mad, I am bas***d, I am stupid idiot jerk! I will tell you hundred hurting things .. so ? you just leave me like that ???? don't I have the a little right on you ?" he held her arms and she shrieked.
"you have all the rights on me rey.." she said slowly.
"I will never leave you again even if you kill me.." she said. Rey glared at her.. "bhoot banke tumare saath rahongi but will not leave you.." she hugged him again..
"I am sorry.." they both said together and laughed. Soon their lips claimed each other and their bed welcomed the love to happen. Sleeping in each others arms he asked "how did u get inside ? you had given your keys to maid right ?" he asked her. she chuckled "you had left your keys in my bag dumbo" she laughed. He kissed her making sush and made love to her again, this time out of pure and passionate love they shared.
"mom.. ?" she said over the phone..
"where are you ? why didn't you receive the phone yesterday ?" her mom asked worriedly.
"umm nothing.." she said trying to ignore..
"tell me did you fought with him ??"
"yes.. we fought.." she said..
Her mom sighed.
"kria.." her mom called her slowly.
"yess ma.." she said almost to tears.
"you love him more than anyone else don't you ?" she asked her daughter. Kria nodded between tears.
"I cant live without him mom.." she said sitting on the bench outside the aiprot..
"then live with him.." her mom said..
"huh ?"
"live with him. the way You both want.. don't impose others thoughts on him. if u want to agree with him then do so, just because I tell you or your relatives or this world don't hurt him. don't think what you want or what he wants when you both actually are like two souls, think what you BOTH want and go with it. may it be bad, may it be wrong, may it be good or may it be right. It's the choice of your both's life not just one.. remember that.."
Kria stayed slient.
"and I am sorry. I couldn't bare what others talk about you two. But when I actually thought about it being in your shoes I realized how wrong I was. Beta its your's and rey's decision. Never force anyone or anything in a relationship. Sorry beta for all the chaos.."
"it… it.. its .. o okay mom.." she stammered.
"is everything all right ?" she asked.
" I will make it alright.." kria said determined and disconnected the call.
Kria looked at rey's sleeping figure. caressing his face she said "I want to get married. Its my wish. But my wish isn't bigger than your feelings. My wish isn't bigger than our relationship. I love you so much that I cant lose u to anything. You know im soo over possessive.." she chukled. "I know you cant hear me. but remember one thing rey, this is first and last. I will never ever leave you again. Not because you cannot live without me, because im selfish! I cannot live without you rey.." she pecked his lips and slept on his arms..

"KRIAA!!!!!!!" rey screamed from bathroom.
"uuugggh rey!! wait I am coming.." she took the towel from the closet and knocked his bathroom door. He caught the towel from her hands and then pulled her inside..
She crashed on his chest and both fell on the tub. With kria glaring at and struggling and rey being naughtiest as ever, they continued to fight in the bathroom.
"Kal pura din you avoided me!!" rey shot at her.
"Kal Karwa chaut tha rey…" kria cribbed.
Rey held her hands tightly "that's why I said lets not get married.
Kria punched his arm. "meine kaha tha tumei propose karne ko ?" she pinched him. still trying to get out of tub, but his whole wait was upon her she couldn't move..
"haan!! Tumne!! Remember that day you told..you want to get married, when I was asleep ?? I couldn't help myself but propose you!" rey retorted with fake anger.
Kria forrowed her eye brows "I dint ask you to listen to my confession! jerk!!"
"but my ears where open and I wasn't asleep!!!" he said.
"why didn't you open your eyes that time only then ?" she wrinkled her nose.
"my mind was blank.. my heart had stopped beating when you were confessing" he said looking at her lovingly. She blushed.
"and waise b, you should be lucky enough, I proposed you infront of Eiffel tower on our trip to paris.."
Kria went to retort but remembering the moment she shrugged. It is the dream of every girl, he made it true in every sense.
Right infront of Eiffle towers, as she admired the beauty of the tower she saw some of the crowd walking in all directions, crowd was more than ever!
As she turned red ballons flew up the sky making the sunset more beautiful, every ballon had a small light inside them wich kept the ballons glowing. Kria was astonished. When she turned to see the tower there was lightings in them which kept blinking and suddenly fire works stared.
As she turned to see rey, everything went dark with a spot light on him, he kneeled down infront of her "Marry me ?" he said with innocent look and the cutest smile plastered on his face, he bit his lips seeing her reaction.
She was spell bound. Voice didn't utter from her mouth, she chose to nod her head, as rey smiled she screamed "YESS" taking rey by surprise. He slid the ring on her finger. She rejoiced like a child. He couldn't believe a small act would bring so happiness in her world, he knew this smile wasn't for all the effort he had taken but for the few words he had uttered.
As they hugged she saw their pic reflecting in Eiffel Tower through lightings..
One mesmerizing moment of her life.! today she is waiting for another, when she would give birth for her 4 month old who is budding sweetly on her womb.
