SS: Meera's first Holi Part 3 pg 8 - Page 3

Gopi turned to give everyone the arti. She left Ahem and Meera for last. She reached the two of them used her hand to make sure Meera got some of the blessing too and then she looked up and saw a determination look from Ahem. Gopi's mind flashed back Holi last year where Ahem had the same look as he wanted and kept on saying, ":Gopi I need to tell you something" Gopi at last made a smile on her face and slightly moved her face from Ahem as her cheeks started to form a red colour.

"Gopi, looks like there is still no need for me or anyone to put colour on your face, as your face is already brimming in colour" Ahem said teasing.

Rashi and Jigar were in their own world. They did not know what was going on around them. Rashi was lost thinking "Hurry up mummy, come" whereas Jigar was looking at Rashi and he had a grin on his face, he thought, "Rashi looks cute like this." And his mind drifted to another place.

Jigar was standing there and all of a sudden Rashi appeared and the lyrics, "How do I tell you what my heart is saying' were played. Rashi had her hand out gesturing to dance with her the next lyrics played, "I fell in love with you that was my only mistake." Rashi mouthed the words and as soon as the music stopped Rashi 's image faded and she blurted out the words, "Jigarji, I love you."

"Jigar," Ahem said, then he used to hand to shake him "Jigar, are you ok, come on everyone has left we are all going outside" Ahem said.

All was present at the Holi celebrations, Kinjal and Dhawal came despite their differences, Kinjal left to find her friends and Dhawal left to find something to do. Urmi came but was only invited because of Rashi. Urmi gave one look at Gopi and said, "Gopi that gawar how dare she get a new sari, only my dikra deserves new clothes, che." "Urmila Behn, did u say something?" "No, Venanji, I did not" Urmila said and she went off looking for Rashi, as Rashi was not there welcoming people.

Urmila fond Rashi with Jigar. Jigar and Rashi were lost in their worlds, together on the dance floor, as a normal couple not aware of their surroundings.. the song, Ishq wala love was playing.. suited the mood that they were in. Urmila went to the the CD player switched the song to Rang de Basa, and using the plate full of colour decided to spread the colour everywhere and she danced to the lyrics..Rashi and Jigar broke from their trance and join in.

Meanwhile, "Meera beti, are you having fun?" Gopi asked as walked closer to Ahem. "Look Meera you papa is there, wave to your papa" Gopi said, and she moved Meera's hand to wave to Ahem. Gopi had a smile on her face looking at the exchange between father and daughter. Gopi gave Meera to Ahem as she left to help out. That very second Meera started crying. "Meera, stop crying don't worry your mummy will come back soon. Ahem had the idea of playing with his hands and that didn't work, he then remembered what Rashi does to keep Meera quite so he started pulling faces and Meera stopped crying and after a while, she fell asleep. Ahem thought that Meera is tried, so walking with Meera in his arms went inside the house to make sure Meera was comfortable.

Gopi came back, "Ahemji, where are you?" Gopi then thought that maybe Meera was tried so she left to the house as well.

Ahem was in the room and he was singing, "Hush, little baby don't say a word, papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird.." Gopi was outside the room and she had a big smile on her face, she stepped into the room silently and went behind Ahem so Ahem was obvious to Gopi's presence in the room. Ahem sang the next lyrics, "If that mocking bird, don't sing then papa's going to'.", Gopi continued, " buy you a diamond ring."

"Gopi, you here?" Gopi using her finger said to keep quiet to Ahem. "Yes, Ahemji, I came to check on Meera and know that's she is sleeping one of us has to stay with her" Gopi said. "Gopi, why can't the both us stay, that way I get to spend some time with you as well." Ahem said. He then gave a quick kiss on Meera's forehead and to Gopi's surprise the same on her forehead.

Gopi was shocked and she shy away from was about to get up but Ahem pulled her back so that she slightly fall on top of him, Ahem was careful as Meera was there sleeping. "Gopi, where do you think you are going?" Ahem asked. Gopi's hair was starting fall near her face, Ahem used his free hand to move her hair and then used his hand to caress her face. Ahem pulled her closer and gave a quick peck on both of Gopi's eye lids. "Gopi, this heart of mine, is crazy it does want it wants" Ahem said while getting back up, so Gopi was now sitting on the top of him. Gopi was feeling the need to escape from there but she did not know how as Ahem's arms were tight around her. She was stuck she did not know what to do. Ahem decided to be a bit more naughty and and moved one of his hands to reach Gopi's hand and he kissed the top of it. "Gopi, did I tell you that you are looking very pretty" Ahem said looking into Gopi's eyes.. Gopi was lost she melted then, she melts just when his eyes do that, Gopi was lost and at the same time she wanted to escape.. so she got into temptation and gave a quick kiss on Ahem's forehead and said, "Ahemji, please stop Meera is sleeping" "No, Gopi let me stay here with you I know Meera is sleeping but this time with you I hardly get and plus I am not letting you go that easy." Ahem said. Ahem was determined that in this time he will hear the words, "Ahemji, I love you" from Gopi so he went back to caressing Gopi and kissing Gopi.

Kinjal and Dhawal both spent their time apart until someone came and told them to dance, so the both were forced to face each other and dance. Kinjal put her hand on Dhawal's right shoulder while Dhawal slowy put his other hand on Kinjal waste and he leaded them in the dance. Kinjal looked up at Dhawal and could see that his head was faced not towards her he was looking out to the view and the people watching. Kinjal using her free hand made Dhawal look at her and she said, "Dhawal, look I am sorry, I know what did was a mistake with Falguni but with Fai that was different, you should have heard what she said, but you did not listen to me, you only listen to her, you said that we should both trust each other so this applies to listening, you should have heard me not just fai. You know Dhawal, I am sorry, truly I am but you are my husband so I can't explain when someone else is with you or is doing something for you, it should be my job as your wife to take care of your needs. Dhawal, I know you may not believe me but I love you" Kinjal said. Dhawal know looking into Kinjal's eyes to see if what Kinjal was saying was true. "Kinjalji.. I love you too" He then went to hug her and Kinjal had a huge sigh of relief and a huge smile on her face as she went to hug him.

Rashi and Jigar were both busy with their friends, they were mucking round with colour and then they bump into each and Rashi fell on top of Jigar. Jigar got up and so Rashi was now sitting on the ground. Jigar helped her up and they both just stood there looking at each other. Rashi had colour in her hands went over to Jigar and threw the colour and Jigar did the same they were chasing each other for a while until, Rashi was about to slip, Jigar was there to help her from slipping he pulled her close to him, close enough that they were now hugging each other. Jigar asked, "Rashi are you okay I think we should have chased each other, as it is bad for you considering you are pregnant." "Its okay, Jigarji, Kakiji said that I needed some exercise so it has been good but if we could go inside it would be good." Rashi said. Jigar nodded and they both left to go inside.

Gopi was still stuck in Ahem's arms she was running of stuff to do so she can escape from Ahems arms. Gopi was not going to play it easy with him and say the words. She knew it would time for Meera to be awake as Meera was due for her feeding. "Ahemji let me go, soon Meera will be awake I will need to feed her." Gopi said. Ahem did not hear what Gopi was saying he was memorised by Gopi's beauty. "Gopi, I have the rights, I am your husband" Ahem said. "Yes, Ahemji, I know you are my husband but Meera" Gopi spoke. "Don't worry about Meera, she will wake then I will let you go." Ahem said. "Gopi, please.. let me be close to you let me feel you, I want to be in your arms, this is my hearts wish please Gopi, listen to my request." Ahem said. Gopi looked into Ahems eyes she had butterflies in her tummy. Gopi then said, "Ahemji how can I say I love you to you. I have fallen in love with you and you displaying this much love for me is special, I feel as though I have reached heaven but yet I'm here in your arms, I feel as though this is a dream and dream well dreamt. I believe that everything that I have in life was because I was meant to be with you and when I'm with you its like god is saying we are meant to be together. "Ahemji, I love you" Gopi went to hug him. Ahem was in bliss he was happy. Gopi broke the hug and gave a quick peck on his forehead then using her hand traced his eyes and gave a kiss on each of his eyelids and finally she teased him my tracing his lips with her hand, then she gave a quick kiss on the lips. Ahem was going crazy, he went in the kiss and made it deeper. The kiss lasted for a while until it was broken by Meeras cry. Gopi gave a quick kiss on Ahem's hand and left the room to fed Meera. Ahem looked at Gopis figure leaving and he had a grin on his face.
