CHAPTER 3 (LAST)
"romeo...tell me naa...where we going??" it was Sharon's 10th no... no... 12th try to get the answer out of her stubborn husband by caressing his face...
"shona!!! we both know i m not gonna tell u so dont ask again and again..." said swayam in a soft tone again for the 12th time...
"achha yeh to bata do...where we gonna reach your special place..??? and with dat she rested her head on his free arm which was not holding the steering of the car...and he pecked her on her forehead...
yaa...thank god sharon didnt take long to get ready...and both of them wore like...casuals...swayam was in black jeans..and white shirt...(i like it :P) and sharon wore a white knee length dress...after so much of request by swayam as after thier marriage sharon hardly wore any of them...but today it had to be special so sharon agreed...after a while they got themselves settled in the car as instructed by swayam...after he got somethings in the car and warned sharon she dare not look back...she had to agree she dint had a choice...so!!!...sharon was feeling like a little kid today...swayam, since morning was instructing her...but it was fun to see swayam so conscious about his surprise...in the same time he didnt forget to keep on the romance...he had decided to take sharon to according to him is the most romantic place...(it wud be revealed hav some patience guyzz :P)...by the lovely long drive on the mumbai- pune highway...to lonavala...and yaa sharon's not dumb ki usse pata nahi wats wid the road...but all thanks to swayam...he blind folded her...!!!
"okay shona u can now open ur eyes..." he said as they were going to climb the hill now and its a damn view there...
sharon quickly removed that cloth and was awestruck...its not that she didnt visit it earlier...but in rains with her romeo...naa it was the first tym...and the beauty of the place was beyond description...(i may not describe it well but thats the best i cud..)
she quickly rolled up her glass...and was mesmerized by the scenery in front of her eyes...the never ending ranges of beautiful mountains covered with green all around them... with some with black rocks too...not much was visible coz of a translucent layer of clouds were embracing them...though some were clearly seen...not to forget the water which was running down the steep slopes...leaving their marks behind...enhancing the already present beauty...that smell..no fragrance of wet mud...the fresh trees...enjoying this gift of god pleasantly and also some where grooving on the rhythm of the strong blowing wind... it seemed to be the season of enjoyment,happiness,joy and much more...when you are there you dont need something else...just stare out and one thing you get is peace...to beautify dis God let the clouds shower the place with rain...and some of it splashed on her face too...and that brought her back...
"swayam really...we are going lonavala???!!!! i mean..." she was indeed short of words...
"i know what you mean...its beautiful...but..." said swayam
"but...??? wat could be the "but" in a place like this??? romeo tumhe aadat hai nooks nikalne ki..."
"aahaan look who's talking...main nooks nikalta hun???" said swayam clearly teasing her..
"alright!! but whats the "but"?" said sharon accepting that she is the one who has that habit..
"its beautiful but..." holding her hand in his..."no more than my wife..." and kissed her hand and intertwined their hands...and she blushed...
"aww...i love it when u blush...specially when i know i m the reason behind it..."
"you were...you are...and you will always be the reason behind it...love u romeo..." said sharon returning to her old position...resting her head on his arm...this time holding it more firmly...and kissing him on his cheeks before that...
"love u too shona..." and they remained like that for a while...enjoying the silence...sometimes it needs to just feel each other without words...just the presence...to listen the beating of the heart that you know belongs to you...and when you start feeling and unusual completeness doing that...thats when you know You are in love...
well the love birds were enjoying the priority time of each other after a month or so coz of busy schedule of swayam...with this thought a tear escaped sharon's eyes...and made its way on swayam's shirt...
"wat happened ??? " swayam said softly as he knew the exact reason behind it...and so continued " missed being like this with me...around me...so close so quite...so romantic..." he finished...his deep love for sharon growing deeper with every passing second...
"how could u guess that" she replied lovingly...still in the same position..
"yaar common sense...girls cry only two times...yaa toh serial dekh kar...yaa khushi ke aasun (enacting a bit)...so aur haan woh tears sad toh ho nahi sakte...i mean main yahaan hun...inti romantic drive hai so...easy to guess..." said swayam to which both of them chuckled...
"tumhe koi baat ka answer first time main dena nahi aata naa...Mr unpredictable..."
"woh toh main hun...and hamesha rahunga coz i know u like it shona..." he placed his head on her head...
"naa...i dont like it..."
"huh??"
"i love it..."
for a moment swayam was shocked but then again indulged in the journey which came to an halt...on a tourist point...but no one was there...the beautiful city laid below their feet...it was out of this world to see that...they also wanted to feel that...so sharon was the first one to jump out of the car...swayam sighed and shook his head ...she again with the same speed pop into the car...
"damn its cold..."
"kisne kaha tha utarne ke liye??? faking sarcasm..."wait" he said and went out of the car...returned after having a phone call with a smile and opened the door for her...and offered his hand to her...to which she accepted quickly...and got down...
she walked out rubbing her hands with each other...but before she could continue...swayam got behind her and hugged her from back...keeping his head on her back not on her shoulder...but turned side ways on the her back...she kept her one hand on his hands and one on his head...enjoying the scene and the closeness...both...the beautiful town which was situated covered with hills all around...it was raining too...both were drenched...and were loving it...
"this so pleasant surprise...romeo... thanks a lot..." she spoke rather very romantically...
"arre itne main hi khush hogayi...much is waiting maam..." said swayam indicating they should head toward something...
"sure" understanding that he wants to take her someone else...so she moved and stood in the front of the car...
"ahh...lets walk.." he said with a smile of nervousness...
"romeo...tum aaj bhi mujhse kuch puchne main utna hi darte ho jitna college main darte the...tum hamesha se hi kitne cute ho..." sahron walked to him and holded his hand and started dragging him as if she knew where to go...
"ahh...shona not this way this way...that way" swayam laughing a bit..and pointing to opposite direction...
"i know i know" sharon trying to cover up...but swayam is swayam...
"of course of course tum toh bas wahan se turn hone hi wali thi haina...??? " now laughing like a maniac...
"okay chuck it...now lets go towards your next surprise..." leaving his hand and walking toward the place which looked like a forest...alone...
"arre i am sorry shona..." swayam following her...
"its okay...now come..."again holding onto him...
they walked along the forest...it was still raining...but they were enjoying it...holding onto each other...discussing about the previous days...every thing...the marriage...the college days..the dances...everything...
as swayam realized they were about to reach...he stopped and carried her in his arms...sharon looked at him with loved and circled her hands around his neck and placed her head on his heart...he too looked at her with same intensity...
soon they reached and sharon was shocked...surprised...and what not...it was then end of the cliff...a tree stood at the end (of course guyzz suicide point nahi tha toh railing bhi hogi naa)
and on the tree was a big collage...kept supporting...all their pics since the first day of college till now even the recent ones too...each photo reminded her off a intense,cute,stupid,lovely,sweet,funny,eternal,dreamy memory they shared...swayam placed her on her feet and she went to the collage dragging him along...she tracced her hand on each and every pic and it was like she lived the moment again...with every time her hand going to another pic her hold on him was tightening.. and at the last pic she hugged him tightly...he hugged her back too...she broke the hug...and took him into a passionate kiss...to which he responded with same passion...she again hugged him tightly breaking the kiss...swayam whispered in her ears...
"dance??"
she dint say anything just her hands went into hairs and head on his chest...and she began moving..he did the same...
she moved back and kissed him on his nape...
on his collar bone...on his jaw line on his chin...he bent down a bit for her...
she kissed him on his forehead...cheeks...nose...and again a soft kiss on his lips...
he in return..gave her a long kiss on her forehead...and moved on her shoulder...it started raining heavily...both were dead drenched...he again claimed her lips and carried her this time all the way too their car...and settled her on the back seat...to let her rest...
he then drove to hotel where they changed...had dinner...as it was evening when they reached the hotel...and after that...the rain had stopped now...swayam was resting his head on her tummy as she was laying back on the soft grass...and playing with his fingers...gazing at the sky...the stars...
"swayam this was the best surprise i have ever had... but i wanted to tell u something..."
"hmm"
"soon your pet name will change from romeo to dadda..." she said and swayam sat on...
"really??? God sharon...!!!! hey but this is cheating yaar tumne mere surprise mujhe hi surprise de diya...i m so happy..." he hugged her...
sharon to herself..."damn...maine socha tha ki main usse next week hamari annevarsary par batungi but...I cant keep a secret..."
"chalo lets go and sleep.." said swayam as he got up and forwarded his hand to sharon...
"yaa romeo..."to which swayam grinned
"i love you shona"
"i love you too romeo.."
