Arranged on Andromeda
“We cannot be so good together, yet be so impossible to live together” she was distraught, as she nursed a hot chocolate an hour after making love
“Stop crying” he warned
“You keep saying I am cautious I am methodical I am structured, how come YOU never cry or say anything spontaneous” she accused
He leaned on the window arms crossed across his chest
“Jaanta hoon... you are spontaneous also, remember the navel ring and trying to be a h----r episode?” he chuckled
“BAS teen hai...”
“I can teach you to be spontaneous”
“I ... u showed me” she waved her arm (I am in Chicago for a s="sightseeing" trip all of a sudden, spending the night with you... on a trip I had NO idea I was going to meet you)
“I am struggling with how to deal... I mean I have no idea Shubhra. Being with you feels spectacular... I mean.. are u freaking kidding me?” he shook his head cynically
“Thats a nice thing” she whispered
“I told you a million nice things” he growled walking over to the bed and ambushing her
“Tapannn I need to go fill this up with water” she waved her empty cup
“You can be a pain in the a--” he mumbled nuzzling
“Dont make everything to easy” she lay back down and let tears roll freely
“Lets get married tomorrow” he said finally kissing her
When they woke up the next day at Noon
He went on the phone... and she went to take a shower
“I was not kidding” he said firmly waiting outside the bathroom door
“Hmm” she sighed
“Shaadi kar lo yaar mujhse thak gaya hoon” he begged
She looked at him... and her face broke into a smile
“You sould like you want me to fix your car or something”
“Woh bhi kar do” he grinned
“We are so cut off from everything here... you from your grief... me from who I am back home... you know... a plain Punjaban who never got asked out, or kissed or dated” she said sagely
“I dont agree you got all three” he declared possessively “... why did u think I ran away after my engagement broke?” he turned around to ask “But I did what I tried not to Shubhra... I went after you and I went after your Dad” he said bitterly
“I went after you” she said somberly “I hunted you down” “And “I somehow find myself here somehow... repeatedly”
“Not somehow... you want to be here subconsciously”
“maybe” she whispered choking up
“We are good for each other, we are like puzzle pieces that fit perfectly.
“Though scratched up and broken?” she smiled her eyes glistening
I will pledge to not mention your Dad’s name.. or if I do... I will try to hold my rage down... I can promise that much... mushkil hai mere liye... I would rather try and control my anger and have you with me... rather than be angry and not have u with me” “Having u with me... sounds so much more pleasurable” his voice quivered...
“I will try not to question your hate” she whispered inaudubly
“If I had gone to Australia to be with my brothers will you have forgotten me?” she asked
“You could have gone to Andromeda... I would not have” he gasped vehemently
“I tried like h--- to move on... I am unable to. The thought that u will marry someone picked by... youR Da... ur family just gores me on the inside”
“I am told goring is usually love” she sniffled and giggled
“Niice... sarcasm?”
“I am trying” she nodded
“Lets spend a lifetime.... together.. trying” he gathered her in his arms and kissed her deeply
She was wearing one of his teeshirts.. and nothing else, she felt him link his fingers with hers... his thumb stroked the ring finger... gently
