Part 25
The two pieces that r supposed to be together missing each other.. still the calmness that stilled their heard was long lasting. The tranquil the soul missed since the last time they were together.
The shenai's tune had faded. The couples probably moved to their rooms. Rahul & Niti had their cute little marriage ceremony. Mk & Geet still stood in peace. It was probably around 1am.. she turned into his arms & looked at him. His eyes was closed.. a peaceful smile adoring his lips. She raised hand to touch his cheek.. then stopped mid way. He turned his cheek to rest in her palm.
Der hogai hain, why don't u catch up for some sleep she spoke reluctantly pulling her hand away
umm he said taking her in his embrace.
She began to get restless now with their closeness. It was just the moment.. the impuissance.. the pain but now the storm seemed to have subsided. She looked down & stepped back. The coldness he could instantly feel. He knew she was back in her shell. Neither did he want to cross that line. He looked dearly .. longingly as he walked to the door. She just went to the wash room changed into her night dress & slipped into the quilt on the floor.
*********
Next day after a small ceremony in the church Pari & Mark left for their honey moon. Rahul & Niti too decided to have a small honey-moon near by. Azaan & Sam couldn't get themselves to speak to Mk..neither could he.
The return drive was just them. She took her bag & came down after getting a warm good bye from Pari's mom. She settled her bag in the back.
Mk ' well its just us
she was her reversed self again. She smiled softly & sat next to him.
He looked at her for few sec before starting. She didn't want to notice, he sighed & reached to her seat belt, she jumped back & looked at him bit startled
seat belt he said as a matter of fact.
She panicked & did the seat belt herself. He wondered how she could cut off after all that they shared. He had placed his most naked emotions infront of her.. it placed her in a special space where he never had any one. Not even Sam.
She sat aloof looking outside the window. The first couple of hrs just passed in silence. She was not making any effort. She was just being herself. The self she had become. The emotions she felt for him was different, unknown. She just left it there. The warmth in his arms was very comforting to the lost soul.. but she refused to feel it. She was clear from deep with in her conscious, nothing mattered. Her taming self discipline helped her a lot not to ponder over her such matters or feel anything further. Her mind was so focused she couldn't think of anyone else in her life, not even a passing feel.
Yes Mk did give her a different feel but it was limited to different feel thats it.
He tried to speak to her now & then but she avoided & just replied in umm.. After some time, she closed her eyes pretending to sleep. Half way through they had to stop over because of bad weather. He had informed her abt the approaching snow storm .. but it was not supposed to be so bad. They took a break at the service area. Couple of hrs & they should be back on road. .. she wore her jacket, cap & gloves. He slipped into his black leather jacket covering his head with a black cap. His hard warm arm slipped around her, tugged her sideways against a rock-solid shoulder as they walked in, after securely locking the car. Mk ordered a coffee for himself while Geet took green tea. She kept looking out through the glass walls. The snow was slowly covering the entire place. Everything was beautifully covered that spotless white blanket .. pure.
***********
The storm had subsided people had began to leave. She just sat by the window enjoying the sight.. it looked spectacular. Mk had finished his coffee. He took his smoke.. the snow wet his cigarette every time he was about to light it. It seemed funny how he had to discard it & pick up another one.. & still did the same mistake. A tiny smile curved her mouth for a moment, then faded as she averted gaze else where. A smile he could kill for. The feel that touched his heart was so soothing. He ditched the plan smoking.. & just spun in the bliss of white flakes.
He kicked the heaps of snow.. he peeped through t window at her, she too just for the moment wanted to feel that iciness chill her. She joined him.. spinning around spreading her arms. A chill ran down her spine when she felt his freezing finger slip snow into her jacket. She jumped crazily.. like a small kid.. wiggling.. getting mad at him.. making baby angry face.. warning him a revenge.. before she grabbed a snowball self & came running behind him.
He laughed holding her wrist not letting her way out.. & she fought back like a kid.. both for them.. did actually.. Mk had never thought so before, but he definitely did now & not because of the way she looked moreover she looked wrecked soaked in snow as of now! As their face came inches close fighting.. turning around, panting. His breath fanning her face.. dam he wanted to kiss her.. his gaze rested on her lips..
He inwardly snorted at the last thought.. kiss her my foot!!! he wanted to do a hell of a lot more than that. He looked back at her hazels.. twinkling. A deep realization she would be impossible to reach in any sense of the word sunk in. She had this wall built around herself & he suspected any people ever past it to the girl barricaded within. Only such situation made her emerge from that fortress & gave him the glimpse of the real her!!! ..he sighed in his thought lost in those hazels..
But now he has seen her & loved wat he has seen.. making him forget his barriers.
His gaze went back to her quivering lips.. he leaned closer with his heart beat raising..
"Mk" she gasped & innocently looked at him.. he rested his head breathlessly on her forehead
"why don't u marry Sam, I know u don't believe in vows but..." she held his hand & lead to his heart.. "u love her" "it will make u believe it"
he looked at her lovingly.. her hand in his over his heart.. her every word
"Maan"
Now that we are close, he squeezed her closer, I think you should call me by my first name.
She stood frozen blankly staring at his face. "M-A-A-N" resonating in her
