DIL YEH BEKARAAR KYUN HAI
Raman stood in the balcony laughing down at the sight in front of him. He could hardly hold back his laugh as he saw Param pacing in the compound with frustration written all over his face. He had to admit, he had thoroughly enjoyed Param's plight. Just as he was about to walk back into the house with the grin plastered on his face, he heard her. He looked down to find Ishita talking to Dolly Aunty in an excited tone, he could make out the excitement was a result of the success of their plan. It was her effort after all; she was the one who was smart enough to see through Param's facade of lies. A proud smile adorned his lips as he felt extremely proud of himself for giving her the right name. She was indeed a Jagga Jasoos, always being the one to save the day.
A frown creased his forehead as he saw her approach a visibly pissed Param. The frown turned into a grin as he heard her taunt Param to no ends, mock him for proving himself as a useless person and making their work easier. He could see Param seething in anger, but he was sure of the fact that his Jhansi Ki Rani was no less. The woman had completely changed his life for good, a few years back from now, he couldn't even imagine himself laughing around and enjoying someone's torture like he was enjoying Param's. He never had the time, nor did he have any interest in other's lives. She had not only filled the void of a mother in their daughter's life, but also filled the void of a companion in his life. He couldn't be more thankful for having her in his life.
He tossed around in the couch once again as the pain shot up his back for the nth time.. There was no way he could sleep on the utterly uncomfortable couch with the pain hammering his back. He cursed the carpenter and the bed for the umpteenth time, had the moron worked over it properly it wouldn't have given away and almost broken his back. Neither he would have been tossing around on the couch deprived of his sleep. Irritated with his disturbed sleep, he tossed around once again without realizing of how close he was to the edge. His eyes snapped open when he felt the couch under him disappearing and reflexively his hands reached out in front of him to support himself before he hit ground. As his eyes scanned the sight below him, his eyes widened in horror and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for saving himself in the nick of the time.
It wasn't the ground he would have hit had he fallen down, he would have fell straight on her face. A shudder ran through him as he thought of what could have been the consequences had he fallen on her. Her lips would have touched his skin, or worse, what if her face would have touched him right there. Could he have handled that.? A groan bubbled upto his lips which he gulped down with great difficulty. Only he knew what the thought was doing to him, he would have completely lost it had that happened. Before he could gather himself from his thoughts, he saw her eyes open followed by them widening in horror. Though she was trying to sleep, she couldn't. She had felt his sudden proximity upon her skin and his scent filling her nostrils. She opened her eyes unaware of the shocking sight that would await her.
- Raman, what are you doing.?
She asked with her mouth wide open and horror evident in her voice..
He was thankful she didn't move as it would only have resulted in him doing the unexpected out of nervousness. Ignoring her question, he carefully moved and breathed in deeply as he felt the ground beneath him. Ishita who was holding her breath finally sighed in relief as he saw him safe on the ground and sat up at once.
- What were you doing.?
She asked looking at him with a weird expression. Raman who was already nervous and irritated at the way his body was reacting to their almost oops moment felt her questions making him all the more warm. What was he supposed to answer.? He himself was clueless about what was happening with him.
- I was doing yoga...Baba ramdev came in my dreams and asked me to do yoga at this time of the night. He suggested it will help me get over the headache your lectures give me. So I thought why not try it..
He bit in a sarcastic tone in a shaky voice to which she just raised her eyebrows in confusion. She was looking at him as if he was a lunatic who was blabbering nonsense.
- Huh.?
Was the only thing she said making things worse for him.
- Why are you looking at me like that.? Ohh please, give you pea sized brain some rest. Dont make it work overtime. I was only trying not to fall. I was tossing and I almost fell of the couch.. It's good I balanced myself before I fell on your face.. So..stop..looking at me.. like that..and sleep..
He stammered again. He could see she wasn't convinced and was about to question.
- By the way, what are you doing at this time of night by not sleeping.? How silly of me, I forgot that chudail's don't feel sleepy.. But normal people do...So if you don't mind I will go to sleep..
He said getting up in a hurry and wincing as the pain shot through once again. He quickly went onto the couch and covered himself with the blanket before his super smart wife's brain starts working once again and she questions him. Ishita looked at his sleeping form and laughed in amusement, no matter how much she tries to understand this man, she always fails. With a sigh, she goes back to trying to sleep ignoring his crazy words and unaware of the almost moment her husband revealed to her in his nervousness.
The morning rays touched her skin making her stir in her sleep. As she felt the sleep wearing off her, his scent filled her senses, she could fee his touch all over herself. She flexed her fingers and felt something soft under her fingers. It was surely not the mattress; it wasn't this soft when he had initially slept on it. She drowsily opened her eyes to find herself tucked in her husband's arms. Her face was in the crook of his neck, her hand placed over his heart while his hand was holding her close. Unknowingly a smile crept up her lips, she was neither angry nor embarrassed rather she felt contended and complete. Nothing was making sense to her, her feelings were changing suddenly and drastically. A few months back, she couldn't even imagine being this close to him but presently, nothing seemed to go according to her. Her heart was in its own world. She lifted her head to find Raman sleeping with a smile on his lips. A smile she would see very often these days. It was all of a sudden how she felt protective towards him and wanted to make sure he would always smile the very same smile. A smile of being contended; a smile for which she would do anything. She could feel her heart beat rising and a warmth reaching up her face, his closeness was shockingly doing weird things to her. She knew this wasn't normal, only she didn't know what exactly was happening to her.
- He looks so cute while sleeping; its only one suffers once he wakes up. How can he be so cute as well as so khadoos.? Raavan Kumar is beyond my understanding.
She quipped shaking her head.
Raman's heart leaped as he heard her words. The morning couldn't have been better. His Jhansi Ki Rani was finding him cute. He had been awake all the while she was silently admiring him. His peaceful slumber ended the moment he felt her stirring in her sleep and lost the feel of her breath fanning his neck. He had only not woken up with the intent of avoiding her reactions. Who knew how she would react upon finding him so close.? She could have easily misunderstood him but little was he prepared for such a reaction from her, not to mention how happy he felt about it. Instead of cursing him she was busy admiring him. He was aware of the fact that even her feelings were changing, but he had never caught her red-handed until this fine morning. His pain had taken him on a ride to hell until he finally decided to quit the couch and sleep next to her on the floor. Neither of them knew when they realized each other's presence in their sleep and closed in the distance. He didn't mind one bit that he had taken her into his arms during his sleep, it was something he wanted to do in his senses the only problem being he couldn't ever do it. What if she wasn't ready to accept him yet.? The fear of rejection always lingered in his heart. Her words had given him an unknown relief and he couldn't hold himself any longer and slowly opened his eyes to find his wife blushing profusely.
- I didn't know you find me so cute.. I thought I was a Raavan Kumar..
He said looking in her direction with a smirk.
She was stunned on being caught red handed. The intensity with which he was looking at her made her heart flutter once again. His arm was still around her and her hand was still on him, the smirk on his face somehow gave away the fact that he could feel the effect he was having on her.
- Wohh..I have to go.. Ruhi must have woken up.
She stammered and tried to get out of his hold with the blush evident on her face but little did she know that her Raavan Kumar was in a mood to tease her to no limits. Her heart thudded faster when his grip on her tightened and he pulled her back.
- What's the hurry madam.? Incase you have forgotten, today is Sunday and Ruhi must be peacefully sleeping. Let her be.. You haven't answered my question yet.
He said as she crashed against his chest. She looked at him with wide eyes, it wasn't normal of him to behave the way he was. Much to her annoyance, it was making her all the way more nervous. The blush and the nervousness on her face was giving him all the pleasure in the world. He was loving the effect he was having on his wife.
- So you find me cute.?
He said huskily once again and he could see the smile she was trying to hold back. Because he had hit the right nerve, she was blushing.! She felt silly at being caught by him and was trying to hide her smile when she saw him looking at her intently.
- No, there is nothing like that. I think you were dreaming.. You often have a habit of assuming things..I am pretty sure you are imagining this as well..
She said trying to take control of the situation and once again tried to get out of his arms but it was a wasted effort as what he did next knocked the wits out of her.
- Is that so.? Well, I have assumed a few more things as well. Let's see if I am right or not..
He whispered and without another word flipped her over so that he was on top of her with his hands on either side of her arms. Her eyes widened as she felt the warmth of his body on her skin.
- Raman, what are you...
She stammered looking up at him. He was looking down at her with a smile on his face. She knew the smile was dangerous.! He was enjoying himself despite the effect their closeness was having on him. He didn't need to say a word, he could see the shine in her eyes. It was only a second later he saw the blood rush to her cheeks. She wished for the earth to swallow her, she couldn't fathom of what was wrong with him nor could she think of what was wrong with her. She knew she was blushing but she could do nothing to stop it.
- Raman..please...I..have to go..
She stammered once again trying to find her voice. He tried to hide back his laugh looking at her petrified face.
- Fine, go but only after you answer my question. Tell me the truth, otherwise I can stay like this the whole day.
He added with a naughty glint in his eyes.
- I was only saying it because I thought you were sleeping..
She finally admitted it with a cute pout making his heart go crazy once again. He wouldn't dare admit of how much he wished to kiss those lips of hers whenever she did that.
- There you are. Sleeping or not, you said it because you find me cute.
He said with a huge smile on his face now. She could do nothing but turn away from him to hide her blush. His closeness was driving her insane and he seemed to least bothered about it.
- Atleast let me go now.. I said what you wanted to hear...
She said trying to escape from under him but he was quick enough to hold her back once again by moving an inch closer to her. She could hear her heart take off like a humming bird but she was helpless as one move from her and things would be worse.
- Oho, why is my Jhansi Ki Rani in such a hurry.? Since I have the opportunity today, why not use properly. Why don't you answer one more question before you go.?
He said once again in his husky voice. She wasn't listening to what he was saying, her mind was stuck on the one word he said "my"; he had called her his. That felt so good coming off him and once again it gave her the unknown happiness.
- You didn't even ask me once of why I was sleeping next to you. Should I "assume" that you have no problem if I sleep next to you.? Here I was, expecting a 15-20 page lecture from you on waking up and to my luck I found you all calm and blushing. What's up jagga jasoos, what's cooking in that brain of yours.?
He said with a smirk. She realized it was time she got a grip on herself, before he would embarrass the daylights out of her.
- I wasn't admiring you and you see, I am not insensitive like you as I understand your back must have hurt which made you come and sleep on the floor.
She said with a straight face unaware that her husband was already expecting her answer and had his next move ready.
- Is that so.? Liar. But what if I say, I didn't sleep next to you because of my back ache but because I wanted to.
He said in a soft whisper and watched her eyes widen. She was looking at him with a stunned expression.
- Raman...
She whispered in a nervous voice. She was taken aback by his words. For a moment, her heart wanted to believe his words. She couldn't deny the happiness that surged through her heart hearing his words. His name from her lips sounded like music to her ears. He was loving the way she was looking at him lovingly.
- Yes, Ishita.? You admit it or not, I know you were admiring me.
He whispered softly once again. He hated to break the moment but a part of him wanted to make her admit of her growing feelings towards him. His trick worked and she snapped out of her thoughts at once.
- No, I wasn't. She retorted back.
- I know you were. He played along.
- No I wasn't. I have better things to do than admire a Kudkud Kumar like you.
She tried hiding her smile once again.
- You're lying again. I know you were admiring me, like always. But its not your fault after all, I know I am hot, sexy and good looking. I saw the way you were smiling and blushing. You think I was asleep.? I wasn't sleeping so I saw you admiring me. Do you do this every day while I am sleeping.?
He said the naughty glint in his eyes shining once again. He didn't realize that he was leaning into her while she was trying to hold herself together. She had to get out of his grip at any cost before her control gave away.
- Ohh please, who told you I admire you every day when you are sleeping.? I was only doing it today.. You need to stop thinking so highly of yourself..
She started speaking only to watch the smirk on his face turn into a grin. He couldn't hold himself back any longer and ended up laughing.
She looked at him in anger and that's when his words hit her, he knew all along and he was only playing with her. Now he was happily laughing at her expense.
- You..You.. I hate you. You are so mean, you never stop making fun of me.. Happy are you now that you heard the things you wanted to hear.? Now let me go..
She said totally flushed out and tried pushing him away but only made things worse for the both of them. He was so lost in looking down at her that he failed to realize when she pushed him and he being distracted lost his balance ultimately falling upon her. She choked on her breath the moment she felt her body touching his. It was like a zeal of pleasure than down their bodies the moment they came in contact with each other. Both of them were left speechless by the way their hearts reacted at the intimacy. Raman could feel himself in the pool of desire once again, her body felt so soft against his. If only he could crush her closer, things would have been more heavenly. Ishita on the other hand was breathing heavily and sweating profusely. She could feel him on her thigh. She didn't have to think a lot to know what he was feeling. She could only close her eyes as her heart thudded rapidly against her chest. He was on fire and was trapped in his own game. He had tried to tease her but one move from her and the entire game was upon him now. He desperately needed to get away from her before he would do something he would later regret. He immediately lifted himself off her and found her breathing heavily with her eyes closed and the blush still on her cheeks, this time more evidently. Without a word he walked out of the room and ran into the washroom, an escape he desperately needed.
Feeling the loss of weight upon her she opened her eyes to find the room empty. She didn't have to guess that Raman would have already beat her to the washroom. But she needed to calm herself, it was indeed a hot morning. She quickly got to her feet and rushed to her Amma's place with her clothes in her hand. Neither of them was oblivious to the effect they had on each other.
She entered the room cautiously trying to look out for his presence and thanked her heavens when she found the room empty. He had left much to her relief saving her from the embarrassing moment when she would face him. As she walked towards the dressing table, her eyes spotted a paper waiting for her attention. She picked the paper up only to find herself blushing once again.
It was quite hot this morning, wasn't it.? Can't say about you but my morning was indeed beautiful.
Raavan Kumar.
He was back to his playing mood. A grin followed her blush as she read through the note. What had he done to her.? She hid her face in her hands as she laughed unaware of the pair of eyes that were watching her. A grin broke across his face as well, her blush said it all. He walked out of the house lost in her thoughts and smiling to himself.
Both of them were aware of the new feelings that were filling their hearts but neither knew how to accept them. May be it will be time which will help them.
