Kumud was sitting on the terrace away from all the excitement going on down in the hall. The Desai have accepted to celebrate the wedding of Aarti the daughter of VIdya Chattur's best friend But she was not happy not because of the wedding. She was angry( well angry was not really the right adjective) since the arrival of that new guest, Juhi. First Kumud was shocked to see a stranger hugging Saras and exclaiming excitedly - Saras! It's been a while. I am so happy to see you!!
She has hugged him, HER Saras and ignored her, HIS Kumud and Mr Saraswatichandra had no problem with that. On the contrary he had smiled to
her. She mused:
- This is the limit. Two days ago he fought with me because of our fathers, sulked with his nose all red and I craved for a smile from him and here he is hugging his friend n smiling too. I thought Sunny was his only friend in Dubai and clearly I was wrong.
She was interrupted in her thoughts by the man who occupies her thought all the time. Her heart skipped a beat seeing him but does he care about it, she asked herself. She was pissed seriously.
- Kumud, is Sunny around?
- I don't know. You ask your other friend.
- Excuse me?- You have more than one friend na so why don't you
ask HER!
- Kumud she is just mom's guest. She is her best friend's daughter. I had no idea she was coming here.
- You know wat? Koi fadak nahin parta mujhe. Entertain your guest and let me enjoy the wedding too.
Wedding time
The haveli adorned with lighting and flowers was like a bride itself . While whole Desai family was as happy as the bride's family, rushing here n there to make sure everything is perfect, all enjoying themselves thoroughly, Kumud's heart was just not there. Her jaws were aching by the broad fake smile she has been sporting while her heart was morose. Her eyes were involuntarily searching for him but in vain. Where was this methi ka laddoo? she thought.
He was in the hall, when he felt her behind. Undoubtedly it was she!! He instantly turned around to find her looking ethereal in green and pink. For once he forgot everything.. probably to breath too..Kumud could see him staring at her.
This man always makes her go weak at her knees! Her heart was beating so fast that it may come out anytime. She gave him a small smile and invited him to patch up with her eyes. She gulped as she saw him drew closer, his eyes not leaving her face. She wanted to look away but her mind just plainly refused to give orders to her senses. But before he could reach her, she was right beside him snaking her arm around his arm and exclaiming like an idiot:- Saras I was looking for you. Wow! Gumaan aunty was right. You look dashing in Indian outfit.
He courteously said thank you and smiled back to her. Kumud saw red but at the same time really hurt and without warning she felt the prick of tears behind her eyelids. To avoid any embarrassment, she excused herself and went away. She needed some fresh air so she went to the terrace where she would not be disturbed
She was furious with herself. She closed her eyes n tried to reason herself that she was being plainly ridiculous but still it hurt to see him with someone else.She took a deep breath and closed her eyes ready to go inside again when... the whispering of her name makes her lifts up her face to stare at the most expressive eyes who always manage to pull her heart strings. 'Kumud', her name has never sounded as beautiful as it sounds through his lips
He was only one step away, scrutinizing her perfect face, his eyes loaded with...love? 'n after seconds which seem like ages, he muttered- U really look upset for someone who doesn't really care.
She looked at him, realizing that he was referring to her "koi faraq nahinparta", she lowered her eyes and turned away. He drew closer and wounded his arms around her from the back and whispered in her ear- You look really more beautiful when jealous Miss Kumud Sundari!
She gasped and tried to free herself but he was too strong for her. With his voice loaded with softness he said- Kumud you brought light to my once dark life. You make me want to dream again and I love you.
His breath just below her ears was creating havoc to her senses. She closed her eyes. His words were music she would want to hear all her life.- Kumud
- Mmm
He chuckled and brought her to face him and said in fake seriousness. You have been very mean to me and punishment to banta hain.
She looked at him confusedly as he dragged her in a darker corner of the terrace and snaked his arms around her waist and whispered:
- Lets dance.
- But music..
- Who need it??
They moved with the music playing in their head and stopped when Saras cupped her face, bent down and sealed his lips with hers.
