K: Mom said you had to be someplace at 5 (hoarse, yet accusing)
S: Yep! I had to be on a plane... to get to my wife
K: You are making me feel good! (guilty)
S: That's the truth
K: Aap mujhse ladte rehte hain
S: Shaayad
Pause
She turns around slowly to look up at his face. Lets go of one of his hands''.He notices her mangal sootra is half tucked it half dangling out, like always'''.. he holds the pendant and gently pulls it all out''''
S:Arent you supposed to wear this thing AFTER your wedding?
Holding the expanded V shaped sparkling object
She is confused "Kya matlab?"
S: You arent married yet?... (cant control his laughter)
K grabs it urgently'''
He bends down and kisses where it rests'''
S: Stop trying to fight me (he speaks on her cleft)
K: Its my oxygen'.. (whispers)
"Then I wouldn't want to deprive you of it would I?" (caressing her collar bone with his breath)
"You got a hair cut" she says fondling his suave cut
"I was told to get one"
She blushes''.
"Did you take a shower when you got home afterwards?" (her Aada did, and she urged her husband to, he never followed any rules, spiritual or otherwise)
"I did!" "Got some one to scrub my back as well" ( trails his tongue on the black beads)
"Oh! The $5 automated back scratcher?"
He laughs out loud'''.
She lets go of his other hand, they are on the strings at the back''''. Feeling each criss cross path for tautness, picking on it as if it were guitar strings''
She buckles in response, leaning on him'' holding him by his waist''
"Say my name or kiss me Khanak"
"I will before my groom gets here"
Are you going to say my name? he smiles, delighted
"Hmmm" she nods innocently
He brings his ear close to her lips.
She pecks gently and says "There!"
CLEVER!" he says, arching her body and kissing her under the stars''''. She is Almost keeled over the waist length wall.
She clutches him tight, clings to his body, as he kisses her''' all the blood from ever cell in her body rushes to her head'.. like the kiss was a strike of a mallet in the whac a mole arcade game'' sending the rubber toy springing up'''
Her dupatta fliess off her waist, one end sandwiched between them, the other billowing like a flag'''.
He lifts his head slowly to look at her, his eyes smoulder''..
"I came for you!" he says firmly
"I know" she says smugly
They can hear one of the twin terrace doors creak, its around the corner from where they are''. She hides in his shirt for a minute''.. calming her heart rate''.
He puts a few inches between them, holding on to her waist firmly, in case she fell off becaoz her legs were so wobbly
Jamuna: Aaapki pooja ki thali (smiles)
K:Thanks, main abhi 10 min mein aaoon?
J: Main khaana garam kar doon?
K: Hmmm
She leaves after beaming at the guy.
S:You FASTED again? (furious)
K: Of course not!
Walking business like towards the table for her thali''
He pulls her dupatta''.
K:My skirt is going to come off this way
S:Doesn't turn me on Khanak! (stern)
K: I am late for the pooja
She turns to look at the moon
He tugs at the end he is holding
K:Please?
S:Why did u fast?
K: I ATE!
S:Kab?
K: Aaaj!
S: Great, what time?
K: 4
S: PM?
K: I think so
He is an inch from her now
S:I asked you NOT TO! (shouts) Last year''. You have an awful memory, so hide behind it
K is hurt
K: I wanted to''.. (chokes) I want to follow everything to a T
He stares at her stunned'' he suddenly receives the unspoken communication
She looks at him "I wanted to" she repeats huskily
S: What ever happened WAS NOT YOUR FAULT! (Sooraj did not die because you did not follow some dumb ritual)
K's eyes fill up with tears of gratitude''
K: I''..
S: Who ever thinks that needs to be shot (blisters)
K: I''. I'.. I did everything
S just grabs her and hugs her''.
K smiles "Now you have peach pink lipstick on both sides" giggles rubbing his chest'.
S: Don't worry, I will get even (promise)
Her tears dry up fast. He says BRB and hits the stairs running, returns with his camera
She holds the thali, chants in Gujarati softly, while he takes 100s of pictures''. In some he is on one knee, n front almost like praying or proposing, she smiles in between her chanting and sprays some water on him with her fingers''.. throws some flower petals,''. It all gets recorded on film''. Does other rituals'' he just watches fascinated'' some times coming close to her face, bending his head to listen in''.
"Gujarati" she says smiling
"Jaanta hoon" he says smiling back
She sets the thali on the waist high wall and joins her hands in prayer, eyes closed'.
He notices her henna'' he takes more pictures''
She bends down to pick up the sieve, smiles''.
Trains it on the moon'' and on him.
They look at each other deeply''.. thru the mesh
She offers the thali to him, he looks at it quizzically
"paani" she murmurs
He give sher some water, then feeds her a spoon of kheer'..
"Candy?" she says
He smiles, shakes his head and feeds her a truffle'..
His finger stays longer than necessary in her mouth
"I only wanted the candy"
"The finger comes with it"
She feeds him one'''.
"thanks" he says huskily
"Khaana?' she says
He grins wide''
He picks up some of her pooja things, she holds her skirt in one hand, her dupatta trails, sweeping the steps''.. he follows'''' quietly''
Jamuna has everything laid out elegantly
She serves as well, K eats ravenously, coughs on spicy food''. He eats quietly'..
Until she asks "How is Amogh"
"Happy"
"Hmm"
"I miss Bhayya"
"He misses you"
They talk like strangers'' he answers a couple phone calls, she answers more'' tells everyone that he made it home''.. Bai is thrilled, Ritu screams... Dadi nods smugly...
She sets her plate in the sink, and lingers... Doesn't know what awaits her
Has the general idea, but is not willing to admit...
She makes her way back to the living room, no sign of him, the curtains swirl, as the balcony doors are open... She searches everywhere''. And eventually leans on the rail and admires her mehandi... it had his name, all the letters spelled backwards... Smiles...
He walks up from behind her, scoops her up, as she lets out a startled yelp'''
"Too bad your groom couldn't make it. Wish him better luck next time" laughs openly as he walks off carrying her into his room. Shuts the door behind hoom with his foot...
"What are you doing? I want to go to bed!! (indignant)" she asks, floating already... flying up high to where the roses are on the terrace... but wait a minute'.. there is a huge bouqet by the bed'.. three dozen or so red ones...
"That's exactly where I am taking you!"😳😳
