At precisely 7am, Kumud woke up by lifting her eyelids very slowly and she saw that she was in her own room lying on her own bed. For a moment, she looked around discovering the position she was in and the fact that Mr Saraswatichandra was not lying infront of her. Many questions arose in her mind:
Where was he?
Why was was he still not in bed?...Surely rich spoilt brats like him must have a longer sleeping time... Did he see her?
How did i get on my bed?...she blushed and angrily thought 'uski himmath kaisai huwi kai mujhai chuwai aur mujhai apnai bisthar pai litai...us ne mujhe kis haq sai chuwa...main uski kuch nahi lagthi na lagnai wali hoon...'with that a tear escaped her eye.
In anger, Kumud ran to Kusums room downstairs and changed her clothes into a blue lehnga choli and set out to look for the man who had the guts to touch her. She literally wanted to break the two hands that dared to touch her but then she remembered his big muscled arms and manly hands and agreed that she will just pinch him...hard...'uski itni himmat'
she searched up the terrace
the top floor
the second floor
the first floor
and the ground floor
but Mr Saraswatichandra was nowhere to be found
she ran outside of the mansion and searched the front and back garden
the streets near her house and
then to the temple near her house (which was not restricted)
then to the river along side that temple
in which she saw a handsome guy from the back going deeper and deeper inside the river
Kumud quickly climbed the branch of a large tree
she waited for 10 seconds
and then that same guy had sprouted up wards but this time facing her with hiseyes closed
she recognised him
it was the man of her dreams...that perfect slender body... his masculine hands pressed together to pray...his perfect hair wet...his perfect face soaked with cold morning water...his perfect eyes closed showing his faith in god
Was he really from another country...even indian men arent like that so how is he?
He was glowing just like the sun behind him
slowly his face tilted upwards and his perfect eyes opened revealing his sincerity and purity
Kumud's jaw literally dropped
He then slowly lowered his face down
All of a sudden, the branch Kumud was sat on broke and she screamed in pain
Saraswatichandra heard this yelp and he knew that it was Kumud in an instant. He rushed out of the river and ran to the nearby tree where kumud had fallen from and stared down at her for a moment. How can she be so beautiful? is she really the girl who i hurt?
Kumud was staring at her ankle which had got hurt and she was rubbing it continuesly. Saras noticed this and bent down, softly held her ankle and started to examine it.
Kumud lifted her eyes to see the man of her dreams so near to her. Wet droplet from his face had dropped onto her hands and some onto her ankle. Somehow even those droplets had soothed her pain down.
Saras was focusing on her ankle and holding it as softly and gently as he could. it was so delicate and fragile that even an hint of force may have crushed it into a million pieces.
Kumud was literally staring at Saras and had stopped yelping
Bohot dard hora ha hai?
Bohot
Kahaan?...idhar?(pressing a part of her ankle?)
Nahi
To kidhar?
Dil main...
At that reply Saras looked up and saw Kumuds face clearly
They both looked into eachothers eyes and were mesmerized by eachother
Kumud then decided to get up and was unable to due to the pain in her ankle so she grabbed Saras's shoulder for support
Main uthalai tha hoon
NAHI...Kumud took a step forward and yelped in pain
Without Kumuds permission, Saras scooped her into his arms once again and started walking to her house
Choro mujhai...as she said this, a droplet form Saras's chin dropped onto her lip, she closed her eyes and then slowly opened them...he was holding onto her waist and his other hand was on her back...She was touching his hard chest...
It looked as if he was carrying a little baby as he wasnt atall tired.she felt so comfortable but was unable to admit it.
He wasnt going to let go, so she held onto his shoulder for support.
Throughout, Kumud was observing his face that was so close yet so far from her...if only he was hers...only hers
Saras was staring at her face questioning himself that has he made a wrong decision
