This is what I was hoping against hope to see yesterday...but alas that was not to be...and the wait continues...
Anandi's First Kiss
As Anandi's eyes fluttered open, a warm feeling engulfed her, why did she feel so content, a smile touched her lips when she saw the reason for the warmth, Shiv lay so close to her, eyes closed, he looked even more handsome and peaceful resting next to her, and how had she gotten so close to him, she was drawn to him like pins to a magnet, and wait a minute what was her hand doing on his chest, looks like all parts of her body had a mind of their own and all they wanted to do was reach out to this loving person next to her.
He is fast asleep, would he know if she would just once, if she would touch his cheek, just once, it was too tempting for her to resist. As she slowly moved her hand from his chest towards his cheek, gently caressing it, he stirred 'mmm''' and went right back to sleep. A light stubble was already growing and his skin felt prickly to her fingers. A lock of hair had carelessly fallen on his forehead, she pushed it away, loving the thickness of his hair, she came close to him and mused'. those lips, they must be soft, how would they feel against her lips, she bit her own lip, pinching herself awake, she was taken aback at her train of thoughts, what is happening to me? Why am I behaving like a love struck teenager... 'LOVESTRUCK' that is what it is, am I finally falling in love? Is this how it feels to be in love? How did this happen, when did Shiv sneak into my heart, my heart which I have shut from any more vicious attacks, my heart which I thought would never know how to love again, no this could not be happening to me, I won't let it happen, I won't let myself get hurt again, No, No, No!!!! But then, a small voice from within said, this is Shiv, I have to give him a chance or I will never know, what it feels like to be loved for yourself, I have to give him a chance.
Shiv had woken up to a warmth emanating from next to him and a heavy sensation on his chest, as he looked down, he was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful bangle clad hand of his wife, resting on his chest, it felt so right, Oh how he loved her, looking at her face he longed to take her in his arms and shower his affection on her, how had she gotten so close to him, as the alarm on his wrist watch went off, he saw her eyes flutter, he quickly shut his eyes afraid to end the moment. He had not expected what would happen next, a gentle hand grazed his cheek, a soft moan escaped his throat, 'Mmm...', he did not want her to stop, Shiv's happiness knew no bounds as he felt her move his lock of hair, would she, would she take a step further and make him the happiest man alive, Trust me Anandi, I will not let you down, I will never hurt you, just once, trust me, please, he prayed. As if on cue, Anandi turned back, he could feel her so close to him, her scent was driving him crazy and just when he could take the suspense no more, soft lips brushed his, was he dreaming, he had to be, it was so quick, he had to be dreaming, but there is was again, another gentle brush.
What should he do, should he open his eyes, thank God he had taken his mothers advise and followed all of Baba Ramdevs breathing exercises, Anandi could never have guessed that he was wide awake. No, I don't want to scare her, or embarrass her, one step at a time Shiv...give her space...she will come around...she has to...there is no other go...
Anandi relished the sensation of her lips brushing his, she felt a jolt pass through her, one more time wont wake him up...she brushed her lips against his again, savoring the feeling. She pushed the blanket away,jumped out of bed and with a spring in her step went to the bathroom humming to herself 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hain, aaj phir marne ka iraada hai.'
