Chapter:2
''maybe you would never become a father..''
WHY??WHY??WHY LORDDD WHY??What did I do soo wrong that you cursed me soo mercilessly??Whom have I ever hurt, that this pain has befallen upon me??His heart cried..He broke down,choking upon his own words,salty waters washing over his stubbly cheeks,eyes once filled with happiness now glinted red with pain and unacceptance,his shoulders and head hung low defeated against the play of fate...
He could see those playful eyes of the Lord staring at his agony.He seated himself infront of the idol,like he used to do everytime his mother scolded him...he believed his father could also listen those little complains about his mother along with the lord..only they both listened to him.
''You know...you know everything...you know that I love her,you know that I want her...live with her...Then why??...All these years I never wanted to get married...I wanted to live my single life to the fullest..But you brought me to her..made me fall in love with her...so deep that every note of my heartbeats sings her name...You made me believe that we would be together forever and no one would come between us...then why are you trying to take her away from me??...I cant live without her..I CAN'T...he closed his eyes,his back leaned against the headboard.A small smile covered his lips...recalling their little moment.
3 days before---Akula Residence
Everyone was in a jovial mood in the Akula's.Afterall their lovely princess was getting married.What could bring more happiness than this??
"So everything is decided then...these two will get married next month!!!Latha happily gleamed.
"Yes..as you say...we are very happy to oblige'' Sivanand happily joined.
"Jai...if you wish Vennela can show you around"Radhika quipped looking at her daughter.
Latha understood that witty question...a sly smile spread over her face.
Vennela's eyes went wide listening it.Here she was trying hard not to look at him and now her very own mother is playing with her...
"Nooo...''she pitched.''I mean I was about to take Renu for...uhhmm..uhmm..riding the bike..nah..nahnaa...BICYCLE!!...she asked me to teach her''she uncoherently rambled out and took a deep breath.She don't want anyone to know how shy and tensed she was...but NO!!
"When??"Renu asked by pouting at her "15 years elder to her", cousin sister.
Vennela shot an funny apologetic look at her cute little sister."Renuuu,dont you remember yesterday night you asked me"Vennela said signaling Renu to say in her favour.But which little kid understands all this??
"Noo..I didn't''Renu said ever soo cutely.
''Renuuu...''Vennela tried saying only to be interrupted by Radhika.
''Vennela...you are showing Jai around.Is it clear??"
"Ohhkaay..''she agreed wondering what would be the result of taking him along.
"Come...''she said trying to hide her nervousness.
"Hmm...''he happily agreed.
Jai's Pov
I love this way of yours too..I never knew someone would look this beautiful even when they are nervous.I wish this side of her never fades...And I feel I am falling for you even deeper..You have captured my heart Vennela...
He smiled to himself.
Vennela's Pov
Ohh god..why is he smiling like this??What must be going on in his mind??Is he thinking about me??urgghh...Vennela whats this yaar??why are u getting this nervous??Look you are a doctor...atleast show some maturity...Venny you cant be a shy creature like this...Comm'on now concentrate...
Jai was staring at her face...her eyes were crunched up in nervousness...It seemed as if she was talking with herself...and she looked cute!!
"Soo...Can we walk??''
''Hmm..??''she came out of the other world.
"Can we walk??"
"oohh yeah...come''she waved path for him.
''Lovely...''Jai mumbled looking at her
''what??''
''uhmmm...the...the painting"he managed to point at a large canvas.
"ohh...that one...it is more than a century old,mughal painting..."and she went on talking about it.
The painting nor the history about it interested him...it was this girl with brown eyes that interested him,it was her expressions,her sweet voice,her curly licorice locks,her pink petal like lips which interested him.
She caught him glancing at her,butterflies erupted in her insides...the feeling was unexplainable and yet soo deep and eloquent.She didn't know how to respond soo preferred to just walk away...that would bring him from the trance..
"This is the lotus pond...we often spend our time here at the night...and the cool breeze just makes everything more pleasant''she said facing the waters.
He smiled at her.She sat down on the stone seating and gestured him to sit,through her eyes.He loved how they started conveying each other through the eyes...
*splash*...''RENUUU''Vennela screamed,her little sister didn't find some other time to play with her??she cant even run around her because that would look stupid..soo she let go..Her front hairs were dripping wet...she shot an apologetic look to Jai who was smiling at her...she was making making such cute faces while drying her hair..that Jai couldn't help but go ''aww''...he wanted to captured the moment.
*snap*...he clicked her picture...
''Jai..''she shot a look at him.
''Jai..delete it..''
''Why should I ??''
''Jai...this is not fair...comm'on delete it now''...
''NOO..I wont''
She moved towards him,trying to take the phone out of his hold,he moved the phone from left to right hand..she tried jumping..but he wouldn't let her grab it...he ran with it...
''Jai stop...''she followed him as well..
Jai slipped over the marbled floor..Vennela dashed into him..which resulted in her getting enclosed between him and wall which he held for support.
The phone was long forgotten...
"Jai..''she whispered.
"sshhh..."he quitened her...
His grip on her waist grew firm...her fists curled further on his chest...their breath mingling with each others...she closed her eyes letting herself indulge in this moment...his free hand ever soo slightly held her face...his thumb caressing her cheeks...her lips quivered..he closed his eyes and joined his forehead with hers...the tips of their nose touching...their hearts beating in the same rhythm...the warmth of love blanketed them...this closeness felt right to both of them...''together''felt right...
''Akkayyaaa...''
Their eyes shot open...realization hit them..but they weren't apologetic...they were in this together..nothing forced...the heart just followed its desires..his grip on her waist loosened...she didn't like his touch lessening on her...she removed her hands from him...
"Akkayyyaaa..''...
''I am cominggg...''before walking away she looked upto his eyes once again..
No he couldn't let her go..before knowing whether she felt apologetic for her behavior...or whether she felt the same what he did.
He took a stride and held her hand,pulling her to him...his arms caging her from behind..his breath fanning near her cheeks..
''I cannot let you go...before knowing what you felt about what happened...between us''he whispered
His husky voice was again capturing her in its depth.
"It felt right...'together' felt right''she said softly.
His happiness knew no bounds...he smiled and whispered..''Even I did..''she smiled and slipped away from his hold.
He stood there smiling at her retreating figure...''together''felt right...he repeated
Present- Vennela's room
She was blushing remembering their little moment...she could not stop thinking about him..
''ooohhh...''Vennela glanced up and threw a pillow at the voice.
''Venny...I cant believe...you were blushing...ohh goddd''
"I was not blushing...''she tried covering up
''As If I am going to buy your explanation...well tell me this, is he good looking??or does he look like those monkeys we shooed together??''
''Noo...he is very handsome..''she shot back
''Hawww Venny...tu ladkon ko compliments kabse dene lagi??(when did you start giving compliments to boys??)
''Maanasaa...keep your hindi to yourself..and don't speak a word here...and I am not giving a compliment simply,he is...handsome"she said irritatedly
"ohhkaaayy...soo he is good looking,what else??his job,family and all...detail mai batao naa"Manasa said as she comfortably placed herself on the bed.
