This author is frustrated by the slow progress of the story onscreen and decided to kick it up a notch. Here we have two very healthy, very attractive young people who are married to each other. Let's see what can happen...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was very late at night. Everyone had gone to bed except Gopi who was still finishing up in the kitchen after Kinjal's engagement. She was working very slowly because she kept reflecting back on the happenings of the evening. She knew it was Kinjal's big day but she couldn't stop thinking about Aham. How she had caught him looking at her a few times tonight. How wonderful he looked tonight in his golden sherwani. I think that is one of the best colours on him it brings out his skin tones the best. For some reason the way he looked at me tonight was different. It wasn't angry it was almost admiring. Is that possible? Am I a fool for thinking that Ahamji liked looking at me today? Or am I reading too much into it? It doesn't matter, for tonight I will believe that Ahamji liked me and thought I was beautiful.
Aham had changed into a light blue night sherwani and white pajamas. He was in bed but still wide awake with is arms crossed behind his head. He was frowning as he thought about the events of the last few days. After running into Umang he couldn't stop thinking about Anita and the dreams they had dreamt. The life they thought they were going to live. When it was all over his heart had turned into stone and then a thick layer of ice formed around it. He didn't think that ice would ever melt. But today Gopi... what was that? When I first saw her it was like I was in a trace and my feet had a life of their own and started walking towards her. All night instead of paying attention to the festivities I was watching Gopi. What is going on with me? I thought I had put it all aside after the dandiya competition.
In frustration he jumped out of bed and decided to go to the kitchen and get a cold glass of water. The hallway outside the guest room was dark and Aham didn't bother turning on the light. He quickly moved down the hallway and when he went around the corner he bumped into a warm body. His body felt like it had been ignited with fire and he instantly knew who he was holding in his arms. Gopi fit perfectly in his arms and her small hands resting on his chest felt just right. Now that he had her in his arms he wasn't ready to let her go and when she tried to pull away he instinctively held her tight. As his eyes adjusted to the dark hallway he could see her clearly. At first she looked frightened and then she looked into his eyes and he heard her breath catch in her throat, then something changed in her eyes. As if she too was feeling the same passion and desire. The last few days had been an emotional roller coaster for Aham, he had felt deep sorrow of a lost love to this very intense new emotion that he could not indentify. At the moment he felt bogged down with the intensity of his feelings. He didn't know how long they stood there in the same position. Finally instincts took over and Aham stopped thinking and did what felt right. He grabbed Gopi by her hand and pulled her towards their room and once they were inside, without letting her go, he closed the door and locked it. He turned back to her and just stopped short and stared! Her skin glowed in the moonlight and he couldn't believe that she could look even more beautiful than before. Her hair gleamed and simmered. His hands went up to her hair and pulled the pins to loosen it around face. He moved his fingers through her hair in wonder and finally pulled her head towards himself. His lips landed on top of hers and he kissed her as if he was dying and she was his only source of oxygen. He heard her sigh and her lips softened and she too was overtaken by passion.
Gopi had never felt like this before and wanted to get closer to Aham and her arms automatically curled around him. Just when she thought her legs were going to collapse under her, she felt Aham put his arm under knees, the other was already around her shoulders. He lifted her up, walked to the bed and gently placed her on it while their lips were still attached to each other talking the language of lovers. Aham lay down beside her on the bed. He pulled away to see how she felt and saw her swollen lips and he almost smiled. Gopi couldn't hold back any longer and moved her hand up to move Aham's hair off his forehead. Aham caught her hand placed a gentle kiss on her palm and turned back to her lips...
