"My love for you is a journey;
Starting at forever,
And ending at never."
Pratigya and her gopika's begin their dance in a bid to woo and entertain Krishna ...Krishna has eyes only for his Radha and watches her graceful movements in rapture ...A beaming smile of pure enjoyment illuminating his countenance...His ardent lover sashays to him and entices him to play on his flute...and he full of glee obliges her ....Pratigya is beyond recovery ,bitten by love bug and smitten by her hubby...all she can do is careen around him helplessly ,gazing at him in adoration and Krishna is reveling in this attention ....he is completely enraptured by her beauty both inner and outer...they gaze into each others eyes...Time stands still.....but their love doesn't ....uncaring of the world or its inhabitants , these two soulful lovers are orbiting around one another like the sun and the moon , He like the sun , warm,fiery pouring his burning love and passion on her, she like the moon absorbing his fiery passion and glowing and basking in it ....
"Thou art to me a delicious torment."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The celebration's have ended and Chandu,Krishna and Pratigya are engaged in desultory conversation...Chandu is saying " we had loads of fun after many days" Krishna is half listening..and Pratigya is not even interested ...Chandu continues "Everything is normal...blah...blahh "...Krishna is busily playing with the silken hair of Pratigya and is contemplating her lovely visage , Oblivious to this by-play chandu continues unhindered " Brother,I am thinking of staying here overnight and have a hearty chat with you "..This snaps Krishna out his reverie, he gives a cautious and wary look at Chandu, surely the nitwit is joking!! he really cant mean to stay seriously..Pratigya turns a questioning look at Krishna...Krishna is getting a bit edgy ...Simpleton Chandu continues innocently "when you were dancing today, you just looked like a hero"!! ...The Hero has had enough, He is getting impatient with a single minded thought of getting rid of his bosom Pal , he bites out "I understand , but you see I am slightly unwell, I need to rest and u too go and take rest and we can continue our convo leisurely "...Chandu does not buy it, refutes the implication that his Brother suddenly developed a life threatening sickness,points out very logically that you were jumping up and down and now u get sick ,how is that possible, disbelief in his voice and face ....
I wonder, by my troth,
what thou and I Did, till we lov'd?
John Donne
Krishna is getting edgy and is growing intolerant of chandu's presence ,curbing his impatience with great difficulty , he thunders out "Illness will not come after giving an RSVP invitation card, it strikes out of blue , like a telegram Understand !!,Don't argue with me , "" Chandu is puzzled by his Bhaiiyaa's sudden desire for rest..Krishna looks at Pratigya and tries to enlist her in his favor ,looks at her and says "Why aren't u saying anything,u are sitting so casually"..Pratigya is in a naughty mood and wants to goad Krishna further, she pretending innocence and acting as if unaware of his urgency replies "Chandu is not wrong, lets all have a chat, meanwhile I will prepare some Tea " {eu tu, Brutus}...Krishna is incensed,blurts "what Tea ?? [Sax's Ambrosia, Baba..remember]..I am trying to tell u something and u are refusing to understand " Pratigya looks with an inquiring look holding a mischievous smile, Krishna is unstoppable and is in full flow "I am TELLING you, I want some rest, I am ill and u are saying , will prepare Tea.....and is this the time to drink Tea "...blissfully unaware of Krishna's growing desperation and increasing impatience..Chandu looks at his watch and and with all the innocence of a new born baby queries "but bhaiyya earlier we used to sit and drink the whole night "..Krishna is seething and throwing a look of utter distaste ,cuttingly says "is this a cafe ??This is a house,home..do u have little bit respect or not ??" Chandu shrugs off the debate about his lack of self-respect and replies "Bhaiyya, Bhabhi is offering to make Tea so lovingly,How can I refuse ??"...Krishna with biting Sarcasm "Yes ! Brother..You can see your Bhabhi's Pyar but not my bemar" Chandu further adds fuel to the raging fire by saying he is planing to stay overnight ...Krishna is frantic and seething bristles that if he continues to stay , he personally will break chandu's neck..watching the escalating tension, Pratigya enters the fray and decides to do her bit to inflame Krishna further,looks at Chandu and promises him a hot cuppa instantly, Krishna is flabbergasted by his wife's refusal to kowtow to his wishes,Pratigya gets up walks towards the Kitchen unmindful of Krishna's tantrum,Chandu is smiling happily...Krishna turns a smoldering glance at him and if looks could kill ,then and there Chandu would have been burnt ,roasted and turned into ashes with in a second !! Threatening physically ..Krishna stalks towards the kitchen where his Radha is preparing Ambrosia...Pratigya orders him off the kitchen and tells him to stay with Chandu "Krishna is outraged scathingly asks whether he is wedded to him, that he has to stay by his side....Pratigya is amused...Krishna wants to know what is she doing ..Pratigya is amazed at this poser ..she good humorously informs him that she is preparing Tea for Chandu ...Krishna is infuriated and astringently says "damn good, now prepare some savories for that idiot...u are concerned about everybody and not even thinking about me "..Pratigya is deriving a great pleasure in seeing Krishna hopping up and down ...Pratigya"How have I not cared for you?" ..Krishna in an outraged tone "who asked you to prepare Tea, you just take care of me and not the whole of Allahabad "..Pratigya decides to play the ignorant simpleton and eggs him by asking "But why are you getting so impatient?"..Krishna tries to get a grip on himself, controls his impatience and suppressing his urgency tells her to go inside ..Pratigya inquires whether he is sleepy..Grasping at the straw thrown at him, he immediately rejoins "Yup ! I am sleepy" ...pouring cold water on his hopes, Pratigya tells him to go and sleep ...Krishna is reaching the end of his tether and truculently tells her off..Pratigya says she will come after giving Tea to Chandu ..Krishna is gnashing his teeth and is restive, he admonishes her to be quick or else he will just carry her off in front of everybody [besharm kahinka 😆]..Pratigya wants to know whether he is going to start his bullying again ..Krishna confirms it will be so ..*Eyelock*Pratigya dares him ...Krishna gives a oh ! you want a dare, Lassie..by god !! You will get one, you will rue your decision !! Pratigya gives a Nah !I won't rue , I will enjoy look ..
"I cannot exist without you. I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again. My life seems to stop there, I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving. I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion... I have shudder'd at it... I shudder no more. I could be martyr'd for my religion: Love is my religion. I could die for that. I could die for you. My creed is love, and you are its only tenet. You have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist." -
by John Keats
Pratigya pours the Chai into a cup and takes it to Chandu, followed closely by Krishna murmuring at her asking her to speed up Chandu's departure.Chandu Thanks Pratigya ,,Krishna comes and stands aloofly, his every fiber radiating restlessness..Chandu invites him to sit ,Krishna sarcastically says he will sit, you just hurry up and drink..Chandu says he is drinking in an hurt tone...Krishna stands glowering at him and clenching his jaws...Chandu takes a sip and is moved to praise the taste of chai, Krishna scowls which bounces off Chandu ineffectively ..Chandu further continues his inane chatter saying how can the Tea be tasteless, Bhaiyya was with you ..Krishna cant stop himself and burst out acidically saying"don't waste time talking..just drink,go to ur home and allow us to sleep peacefully, cant understand my urgency " but Chandu is undeterred by Krishna's sarcasm, he coolly replies "How can I insult Bhabhima by drinking it without tasting and savoring..I am going to enjoy sip by sip" ..Krishna's control finally snaps on hearing this, in a manic frenzy and haste, he grabs the Tea cup from Chandu, dunks it away,drags him and packs him off and locks the door and comes in ..Pratigya is laughing at his antic ,Krishna notices it and is enraptured by her bewitching laugh, Pratigya notices his entranced look and gives a uh-oh!!now what glance..catching it Krishna gives a wickedly naughty smile promising sweet retribution for tormenting him previously ,Pratigya is like don't you even dare..but Krishna is relentless and strides steadily and confidently ..Pratigya is all the while shaking her head in negation while her eyes are issuing an invitation..Krishna understands stops and slowly tilts his head up as if to say I have got you now,None shall stop me tonight ,so it is better you come of your own volition or else !! but Pratigya refuses to heed him shows her thumb and runs away smiling widely ..Krishna with a joyous smile gives chase..Pratigya is faster, runs inside and closes the bedroom door ..Krishna arrives and is entreating Pratigya to open the door
