Dear friends,
This is my first try to write an OS. I am not a writer as such.Since few of my friends encouraged me to give it a shot,I am trying this. Pardon me for any mistakes in the story or language.I have limited Hindi knowledge,hence I hope you don't mind the mistakes in my Hindi dialogues.But I would be more than happy,if you can point out the mistakes so that I could correct it.Please do leave your feedback
Beautiful beginning...
How could she do it?
He doesn't care about others. Not even his parents
But, Paro...
How could Paro...?
Yeah he knew that he is being childish. But he can't help but being childish with her. Though he would never accept it, but one can't lie to his own heart right.
He was not like this few months back. He buried the child deep inside him long back and carried the mask of a ruthless man. But everything has changed in a few months span
If someone had predicted that he would be like this in six months he would have probably laughed at that person or May be not, he didn't even know laughing back then. He would have burnt him alive with his stare
But everything is different now. His face softened and a mild smile peaked in .This expression of his is reserved only for his Paro. How she was after him? Though he appeared indifferent to her back then, he always felt a connection from the day he met her and she did make sure that he realizes and accepts it.
Not what am I dreaming. He frowned. He felt betrayed right now. She knew it but still forgot
How come...How come his Paro. He saw her enquiring about it to his Bapusa few days back. Hence he is sure that she knows it. But in spite of him providing her with hints she still didn't recall.
While she was sleeping peacefully beside him Rudra was fuming inside with his back turned to her in their bed. He just turned to see if she is really sleeping or may be... But it seemed like she was deep asleep but here he is sleepless. But, how beautiful she looks? He was always fascinated by her sleeping beauty. It's like he is been mesmerized. Sometimes he even thought that she had some hypnotic power over him that makes him forget everything around him but her. Everything around him gets dissolved and the world comes to a standstill whenever she is in front of him. He shook his head as if waking from a slumber. Here again I go. I am supposed to be all angry with her. But here I am admiring her sleeping beauty. He went back to his position with a frown. But it seemed that sleep too was betraying him today. After arguing and complaining within himself, he fell asleep as finally sleep evaded him.
Then it happened he felt a breeze. A gentle breeze... No...No... It was something else
It's a beautiful dream. He felt a soft hand caressing his hair. It felt like heaven. He wanted the dream to continue forever and the hands continued caressing. Then it moved from his hair to his cheek .Oh! Can this dream get any better.
"Ouch aapki darhi chubthi hai" (your bread pricks)
He just opened his eyes with this sudden sound. What was it?
What else can it be other than the sweet voice of his sweetest Paro.
He saw her face so close to his. Is it still a dream? He wondered. Before he could think of anything else, she bent down and kissed him on his forehead. He was too surprised to react. Before he could comprehend with what was happening. She kissed him again, this time on his cheek, then she cupped his face in both her hands looked through his eyes and uttered those words that he was yearning to hear. "Janamdin Mubarak ho Major Saab" (Happy Birthday Major Saab).
He was too stunned to say anything. More than her wish he was affected by her closeness. Her face was inches away from his. She looked heavenly with her long hair flowing in front and it landed on his chest. He cupped her face and brought it near as his heart started racing and lifted his head and kissed her forehead just like she did moments before. He then trailed down to her cheeks. When he was finally inches away from her tempting lips, she whispered in his ears "Major Saab...". He ignored it and continued with his act. But his lips landed on her fingers. Surprised he moved his head backwards to see that she has indeed placed her fingers in-between them. This time she was a bit louder. Major Saab the candles are melting. Phele cake toh katiye.(Major Saab cut the cake first).When he followed her eye moment he was left speechless.
He was too immersed in her that he was not aware of his surroundings. Now as she pointed out. He ran his glance across their room He could see their room was totally lighted with candles everywhere. And he found a cake in the middle of the room with candles lit beautifully. But rather than all this he was stunned to see the girl next to him. He just got up to sit on the bed to see her fully. She was dressed in white like an angel as words failed him once again. She was breathtaking. He had hard time breathing. He just wanted her in his arms. What has she done? While he was fighting with her within him she has decorated the whole room like heaven and she herself appeared like none less than a goddess. What else could he ask for? How could he even think that she has forgotten his birthday? His heart knows that she loves him more than herself. Then how could he even suspect her love. Actually he didn't suspect her love, as he himself loved her more than himself. In fact he never loved his own self. She was the one who taught him the same. It was just that the child inside him that was too eager
"Major Saab..."
"han..."What did she say? I must be dreaming again
"Please cut the cake the candles are melting "she stressed it.
He got up from their bed holding her hands and took her near the cake. It was beautifully lit with candles was written happy Birthday Major Saab. She must have taken help from Sunheri he guessed. "Major Saab do you like it". But he was busy staring at her.
She got worried. Her expression changed. "You didn't like it". He just pulled her with a sudden jerk. She landed on his chest crashing. He held her by her waist stared into her eyes. She avoided his stare blushing. "Look at me Paro" he said it in a hoarse voice. When she lifted her head, he said it in a whisper "I loved it Paro, both the cake and you. In fact you are looking yummier than this cake". Paro was taken aback. Is this her Major Saab who is uttering these words? At times he really can be cheesy with words. She slightly pushed him away with a fake frown.
Before he could start with his antics again she reminded him once more to cut the cake. So finally Rudra extended his hand for the knife. When he was about to cut the cake, Paro stopped him.
"Rukiye Major Saab".(Major, Saab stop it) Surprised he saw her with questioning eyes. " Katne se phele Bolnenath se kuch mannat mangiye".(Make a wish before you proceed.)
He saw her with love filled eyes. His face softened and he closed his eyes. What else could he ask for other than his life, his Paro. He just needed her in his life for him to carry on. He hardly remembered the days he lived without her. The day he met her as a kid on a bus and the day he saved her in the desert came flashing. The days in-between seemed fading. It was like he survived all those years just to have her back in his life, to surrender himself to her. A future without her meant no life for him. He prayed sincerely to Paro's Bolenath to have her beside him till the end of his life.
Paro read his face. She knew what he would ask for. After all she had the same wish too. To be with him till her last breath. He has been always with her through some or other ways. It may be a nightmare earlier but which became the most beautiful dream from which she never wanted to wake up. She too closed her eyes wishing for Rudra to her Bolenath. As they opened their eyes in unison, It seemed like time froze as they stood speaking with each other in silence.
After what felt like an eternity the couple finally broke their stare and Rudra proceeded with the work that he left. Paro rejoiced like a kid while Rudra cut the cake. He saw her childlike face and thought how at times she becomes his mother and at times a child. He took a piece of cake and moved towards her and fed it to her. She held his hand which was lowering with the remaining cake and fed it back to him. While Rudra was busy staring her as usual, she suddenly ran to the corner of their room. Before Rudra could react she was back in a flash with both her hands behind her.
"Major Saab close your eyes".
"Why Paro?"
"Close your eyes Major Saab". She had the stubborn voice of a child.
He gave in and closed his eyes
"Extend your hands"
"Paro..."
"Major Saab..."
What was that...? He felt something like a package. Rudra opened his eyes and saw a gift rapped in golden glitter paper.
"Major Saab koliye na"(Open it)
Rudra Tried opening it
"Major Saab Jaldi Koliye..."(Make it fast)
She was pestering like a child...When she saw that he is taking his time .She just snatched it from his hands and started opening it. Rudra stood there with a stumped look another expression reserved only for his wife. She opened it in no time. It was a black jacket.
He was impressed,he knew that she loved him in his black jacket. Oh! There was something else too. A black goggles too. She did mention once that he looks like a film hero in these. Rudra never minded about others opinion about his looks. Actually he never minded about anything before he met Paro. But he was proud that she visualizes him as her hero. Which husband doesn't like being his wife's hero? Rudra was no different here.
Major Saab did you like it. She already knew the answer but wanted it in words. But Rudra had other plans. He just pulled her by her waist in his style, "Do you want to know how much I like this". Paro started blushing and moved her head in denial." Just now you wanted to know but now you are saying no, but what to do I want to say it". He just pulled her closer and tried kissing her for second time that night. Again she pulled back and turned around flushed. He went behind her and back hugged her resting his chin on her neck he asked her" Paro where is my Birthday Gift". Paro turned around confused. Major Saab didn't I give you gifts now. Woh be doh doh( that too two ,two). "Paro, that's not the gift that I need now", Paro could sense where he was heading towards. She could see the change in his expression as his eyes were fixed on her lips. As sudden nervousness hit Paro, Rudra cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes as if reading her soul thought it, "Paro can I have my gift", He asked in an intoxicating voice. As a reflex action Paro lifted herself thus forming a garland with her hands around his neck and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead and Rudra lost it. A simple kiss from her is enough to stun him. It's the same case with Paro too. They were always affected by each other's intimacy. While Paro landed back with closed eyes. Rudra lifted her still with her arms tied around his neck. She buried her face into his warm chest. He slowly carried her to their bed and placed her as gentle as a flower. Lying by her side Rudra turned Paro's face towards him and she finally opened her closed eyes to meet his hungry ones. As he sensed her nervousness .He held her hands and brought it to his lips and kissed it. Paro felt like she is been pulled into another world and everything seemed to fade away and she felt herself hyperventilating and she closed her eyes once again. Rudra was not in any better shape than her. He was longing for this day for so long now.
How many hurdles they have faced till then? Though they shared the same bed for some time now, but they never shared anything more than an embrace. Though he badly wanted her, happenings around them made it impossible. But now all the problems solved with him locking the stalker in. The risk of sending Paro alone to the temple was worthwhile. But he still shuddered thinking about the danger that she was in for. Who could imagine that betrayer might have a brother who could seek revenge. Anyway the nightmares are over. He even made peace with his past. Though he still found it difficult to interact freely with his mother, but he didn't feel that old hatred for her. Thanks to Paro's selfless love the world seemed beautiful now. Actually he was planning for a surprise honeymoon with Paro. He was expecting her to wish him and then he would surprise her with the tickets. But the surprise can wait till tomorrow morning. He had much more important work at hand right now.
Paro opened her eyes slowly as she felt that Rudra has stopped. She saw him in deep thought and she called out," Major Saab" her eyes questioned him. "Kuchi nahi Paro", (nothing) and with that, the hungry look made a comeback in his face which left Paro trembling once again. Seeing the change in her expression he placed his fingers under her chin, his stare boring her own asked in a deep voice. "Paro do you trust me". She instantly felt her fear being washed away. When she can trust him with her life, then she can do anything for him and it is not like as if she wanted it any less than him. She too wanted to be with him . She has dreamt it so many times already now. She slightly nodded her head looking through him. And finally for a third time Rudra bend down but this time nothing could stop him as he conquered his sweet wife's lips with his to begin with.
As Rudra had the start of his best birthday ever, there was no room for words. He wanted it to make it a memorable night for her. As they lost themselves in each other nothing could interfere them not even the air, as they had their beautiful beginning.
