Chapter Twenty Three

Mohan didn't expect it. He had always wanted her to be frank with him but he was taken aback by the forthright attack from her.

"Pardon!" He bought time to think

"You heard me!" Megha toned her voice better this time

Mohan's throat went dry, so offended by the image of him kissing her lips, that he'd forgotten that he hadn't kissed her at all, at least in that way. Are you accusing me?

"I know I asked you to. But did you?" This time she didn't appear to be accusing but inquiring

Mohan hoped that she only wanted to know and nothing else intended behind the inquiry. But he wasn't sure. His sharp look at her assessed her. Did she really want me to kiss her then? He couldn't help thinking about his troublesome night when she had asked him to kiss her. If only, she had asked him when she was sober.

He aimed at making up to her but things took a different turn losing his own resolve. He decided to play his cool which always worked for them.

"Don't you remember?" He intensely focused into her eyes trying to break her firmness

He did shatter her resolve and purpose. She was suddenly at loss of words. She didn't know what she was asking or saying.

"Of course I do" She pulled up her nerves and tried to stay put with a lie

He got his victory smile and considered taking it further.

"Then why do you ask me?" He closed the distance between them, still focusing acutely into her eyes

She stepped back making distance, not expecting the sudden approach of his. He closed it again with his slow steps and she continued to trace back. Her palm felt wet and she wiped her hands on her soft jeans. She licked her lips not to lose control anymore than she already had.

"I just thought if there was anything else to it" She said with a shaky voice but trying not to lose her determination

"Was there anything at all?" He probed her returning her own doubts

"Nothing" She tried a firm reply but failed

"Are you sure?" He pushed her further, leaving no space between them

His nose was almost touching hers and he was staring at her trembling lips. He had been captivated by her proximity. He wished her to ask him again to kiss her. He again remembered her asking. He found her irresistible then and now and would forever. He held on to a vague hope of getting what he wanted.

Megha's body was shivering involuntarily. She wasn't sure what to expect from him. But she was shaking. She wanted him to take her into his embrace to give her comfort. Puzzled by his long silence, she looked confused and expectant and yes, a little disappointed too. Suddenly she wanted to react.

"I don't remember" She almost yelled at him "Since I can't remember why don't you pretend that you kissed me! You can tease my weak request and pretend that you have done the kind thing for me! I will be at least happy that you found me irresistible!" She burst out amidst her trembling

May be she couldn't comprehend the fact that she had been weak and openly requested him. And he had been strong and closely rejected her. It wasn't pride rather disappointment that took over her. Her long beautiful lashes lowered trying to hide her hurt.

"May be now you will remember" He said softly considering that as an invitation

In that unguarded moment Mohan somehow felt it right, to respond. He cupped her face between his palms and tipped it up. Her gaze fell on him momentarily and before she knew, he touched her lips with his, gently kissing her. He felt her gasp, drawing in a breath and also felt her body tensed near him. She closed her eyes feeling the shiver inside her.

Megha slowly lifted her arms to his chest for his support, at the same time he lifted his head away from hers. She opened her eyes on her flushed face.

Mohan didn't wait to watch her lids opening up and gazing into his. He was annoyed with his loss of control. He dropped his hands abruptly and whirled around to walk away, leaving her stunned.

They parted away from each other carrying an apology in their eyes but without sharing it with each other.

He cursed himself for ruining his plans of making up with her. Did I go overboard? Why did I provoke her like that?

She was annoyed at her own stubbornness. She was looking for a way to make it up with him and there she stood fighting against him. Did I chase him away?

***

Mohan felt a painful grasp holding onto him. He was too much in pain to bother about which one concerned him more; either his guilt of forcing a kiss on Megha or the fear of losing her. After a long thinking when he reached Megha's home, he was in turmoil of confused emotions.

To add to his already tired emotional state, he was greeted by Guru.

"Oh Cookie Man! What brings you here?"

Mohan ignored Guru's mocking comments and asked "I want to see Megha"

"But Di is not at home" Guru informed

Guru expected Mohan to leave but Mohan walked past him and went inside the house. The moment she laid her eyes on Mohan, Nanhi gave a happy and chirpy smile. Mohan forgot all his agony that he was putting himself through for the past hour. He went and sat near her on the floor.

"Aaa-Uooo.. Mooo" Nanhi started her talks

"Cookie, I missed you so much, my dear friend" He gently took the baby on his lap and kissed her forehead

"Muuaahhh" Nanhi responded much to Mohan's surprise

Mohan brought Nanhi closer to him and his little angel pecked him on his cheeks "Muuaahhh". Nanhi clapped her hands in victory as if achieving her aim

"You sure know what I need at the moment" He smiled at a giggling Nanhi

Mohan let himself slip away from his tensions, in the solace the little wonder gave him. He was laughing, playing around his Cookie who was savoring her recognition to the fullest.

Guru was watching their scenes from the kitchen. When he finished preparing the food, he came to them.

"It's baby's dinner time" He reported and took Nanhi in his arms

"Give me, I will feed her" Mohan offered

"No. I will feed her" Guru shoved his hands in the air ignoring his offer

"Guru, I am not in a mood to fight with you. Let me feed her" Mohan gave a warning look

"Haa! Even if you are in a mood to fight I am not fighting you"

"Good for you"

Mohan took the food bowl and started to feed Nanhi. Guru put his hands in front of the spoon blocking its way to Nanhi's mouth. Nanhi looked at him with a pout. Guru took another spoonful and started his feed. This time Mohan blocked its way. Nanhi sulked at Mohan now. Both the men continued their banter ignoring the brooding mood of the baby. They started fighting with their spoons.

Suddenly they heard a scream. Nanhi started her shrill cry, oscillating her head to waver between the two men, who were supposedly her Nannies.

Mohan and Guru stopped their spoon fight in the air. Both nervously looked at each other. They immediately dropped their spoons and started consoling the crying baby. Nothing worked in their favor. Nanhi continued her sobs.

"Cookie darling, we were not fighting. Look" Mohan hugged Guru

"Yes baby. This is no fight" Guru too hugged him back

When Nanhi was stilling wailing, Mohan kissed Guru "Muuaaahhh" to get the baby's attention

Guru was shocked but played his part as well.

"Yes baby, see... Muuaaahhh" Guru kissed him back

Both shared an embarrassing look at each other but that triggered a smile on Nanhi's face. And they shared a winning smile. Then they started pacifying her telling that they were just acting.

They enacted a drama like scene jumping, rolling, running and flying around the house. This brought a smile on Nanhi's face and she started giggling in happiness as her Nannies continued their dramatic effect to their pretend fight. The drama continued for long with Guru giving an elephant ride to Nanhi, Mohan doing the piggyback ride and both the Nannies dancing with their little sweetheart. Nanhi kissed her lovely Nannies and showered them with all love and affection that she could express.

Mohan was putting the baby to sleep cradling her in his arms. She was overwhelmed with her game for the day as she blew a flying kiss at him "Muaahhh..."

"Is today International Kiss Day? Everyone is in kissing mood!" Mohan joked and laughed to his own

Nanhi gave her sleepy smile cooing and cuddling to his pampering. Mohan recognized the calmness in his heart and he wanted him to enjoy the bliss forever. And decided to do whatever it took to keep it.

A little later, Nanhi fell asleep on Mohan's shoulder. Guru and Mohan shared a smile of understanding knowing their common link and affection for Nanhi. Guru made the bed for the baby while Mohan placed her gently on it. She looked pretty sweet and lovely, sleeping with her fist rested on her cheek. Mohan kissed her forehead and lingered in the scene for a while, before leaving.

At the same time when the Nannies were busy at their duty at Megha's house, Megha was standing alone at Mohan's garage looking at her completed work on his bike.

Poo...🤗
