Part 5

As a closing line, he voiced huskily, "mujhe tumaare nasdeeq aana hai Ishita"

Her saree slipped away from her hands and all she could do was stand numbly listening to his talk. She was literally struck or perhaps lost in his words.

**************************

A long moment passed and then he realized that he could be making her uneasy with his sudden attempt to get close to her. It wouldn't be so easy for her but he had to open it before her somehow. Their ego, just for Ruhi clause of their marriage, their extreme personalities, their broken past...everything had literally put forth such a barrier between them. He knew that it was time that he broke the ice wall which prevented them from becoming a normal couple.

But he didn't want to force her into anything or make her feel uncomfortable. Even then, he couldn't take his eyes off her and also couldn't stop his eyes from wandering and trailing down from her face. She wasn't attempting to cover herself or perhaps she was in a totally lost state. His heated gaze only made her body shudder further in its impact. Her eyes which were so far held captive by his eyes lowered shyly when his eyes left her face. Her breathing and heart beats quickened. It felt as if the butter flies in her stomach fluttered making her feel the tickle.

Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai

Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan

Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai

Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan

Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe

Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan

Her unsaid reply was quite evident by her shy gestures but then he didn't want to assume anything or rush her into something which she wasn't sure of. So he backed away saying, "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable Ishita...bas yahi chahta hoom ke tum iss baare mein socho...Take your time!"

He put up a smile hiding all his other thoughts in an attempt to ease her. He opened the door to step out voicing, "tum aaraam se kapde bathal lo...I will wait outside"

She just nodded silently not able to comprehend where her thoughts had taken flight to in those moments. What was his heart saying to her? And what was her heart replying and why was it pacing up as if she had just completed a marathon of sorts. She pretended to have not sensed what her body craved for or rather acted oblivious to what he desired for. Their silence and their body language were loud enough to communicate that all they yearned for was to crash into each other arms.

Dinner was unusually silent and half way through it, the family returned as well.

Later that night, he was already on the bed when she stepped into their room. When she walked in without closing the door as always, he didn't hesitate a bit to say, "Ishita, door close karo..."

She stood still for a nanosecond before turning around to bolt the door. He added, "Iss room ke andar humaare beech jo bhi doori ya rishta hai, its just for us to know...kisi aur ko issme jhaakne ki haq nahi hai...Aur hum unne mauka bhi nahi dena chahiye"

She nodded understanding the deeper meanings of what he meant by that. She slowly walked to the couch. He wanted to tell her that she could comfortably sleep on the bed but he didn't. He didn't want to burden her with it all of a sudden.

He pulled the duvet over his head and turned around in an attempt to sleep though he knew it was quite difficult to sleep after having realized his feelings for her and yet maintain this distance.

After a few moments, he felt a movement on the other side of the bed. He turned to check what it was. He was pleasantly surprised to see her taking the place which was rightfully hers. He had expected her to fight for this long before. His self-pride and ego had always stopped him from telling her to sleep on the bed. Though he always taunted her and said that it was his bed, he would have easily given it all up, had she fought for it like the Jhansi ki Rani he loved to see her as always. He had given her that name fondly because he loved that avatar of hers.

All his annoyance to her lectures and arguments were mere pretences. In actual, it was all a delightful phase for him which truly made him realize how important she was to him and in essence she was the sunshine of his dark dull life and the reason for his smiles.

As they lay in 2 extreme sides of the bed, it was just the small physical distance that kept them apart. Their hearts were just a beat away. The moment one of them gathers up and makes the first move, they will cross this distance as well.

That day wasn't far too.

It was one of those days when Ruhi had stubbornly wanted ice cream after dinner and Raman was forced to go buy it for her. Ruhi wanted chocobar for her and Shravan while Ishita opted for plain vanilla ice-cream garnered with choco chips. He had bought an entire family pack for the rest of them.

"Jhansi ki rani ki bhi alag hi tastes hai...iss zamaane mein plain vanilla ice cream kaun khaata hai?"

He mentally mocked her while he bought them cautious enough to instruct the vendor to cater the specifications of choco chips spread on it.

At home, Ruhi ran off to her pati so that she could eat icecream with Shravan. Ishita distributed the family pack among the rest and walked into the room to savour hers in peace.

She sat there watching some movie as she relished the creamy vanilla ice cream and the crispy chocolate chips.

Raman wasn't any late to come in. Nowadays, he made all excuses to get back into their private sanctum as soon as possible. He wished to spend all his free time in her company.

He freshened up and came to his room. His eyes never left her as he closed the door behind him. She was comfortably resting on the bed's head board, enjoying the ice cream and the film. She just smiled acknowledging his presence and turned back to the movie. He felt ignored for a moment and was irritated that his wife's focus was on the film and not on him.

His logical mind teased him, "It is perhaps time that you give her some medicine beta..."

Confused Raman enquired back, "medicine??? kyun??? Usse kya hua hai?"

His mind grinned, "She seems to have forgotten all the past kuch kuch hota hai moments...beta jaldi kuch karle warna dheere dheere haat se nikal jaayegi madrasan... phir dono beite rehna Ruhi ke mummy papa bannke...khud toh tubelight hai aur saat tumhe bhi..."

He snapped his mind imagining what will happen if he too becomes like her and that would leave them waiting forever. He was plain horrified with the whole point by itself, "nahi nahi..main kuch kartha hoom"

He snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at her to judge what her thoughts or rather what her mood was. She seemed to be happy with the romantic movie and the ice cream. He wanted to call out to her, "Ho madrasan...movie chod...apne pati ke saat romance kar..."but he kept staring at her silently.

She was about to finish the cup and that's when he noticed that her lips were smeared with the cream and there was a thin layer above her lips too.

Vanilla ice cream never tempted him so much. He didn't think much but just walked to her side, leaned over without waiting for her consent or even a word, caught her chin in his hand to make her look up. Without giving her a chance to retaliate, he just licked away the cream from her lips and above gently, slowly taking all the time.

She was stunned beyond what words could explain. The cup slipped from her hands but he caught it before it spilled over. She sat still dumbed by his action.

She looked at him probing his sudden romantic gesture. A few seconds later, her trembling voice questioned, "Raman...yeh aap..."

He understood her unfinished question and replied, "This seemed the right thing to do...kyun?? accha nahi laga kya?"

She didn't want to give him an idea that she didn't like it. In fact she loved it and cherished their most intimate moment. It was an almost kiss which she would remember forever. She instantly said, "nahi...aisa nahi..."

"matlab accha laga?"

His naughty question made her blush crimson red. He didn't expect a reply as he knew how she felt about what he did. So he winked and walked to his side of the bed chuckling and relishing the taste which lingered still on his lips, "Waise mujhe nahi patha tha ke vanilla ice cream itna tasty bhi ho saktha hai!"

She smiled shyly as she deciphered the double meaning he intended.

Much later that night...Ishita had given up all her attempts to sleep as she was sure that sleep had orphaned her for the night. His deed and his close presence was driving her crazy and rendering her sleepless. Assuming that he must have slept owing to zero movement from his side of the bed, she slowly turned to look at him. Little did she know that he was in the same state and was looking at her from long before!

In the darkness, their eyes met. The close moment and also the pent up feelings were literally taking a toll on their mind state and sleep. Perhaps it was time they crossed over the line.

He held out his hand to her, "Do you want to come closer?"

As if she had been waiting for this one question from him, without a thought, she just rolled into his arms and in a moment's time, her head rested on his upper arm as he embraced her in a hug. She cuddled closer as if a closing piece perfectly fits into an incomplete puzzle.

He felt solace finally having her in his arms while she had found her paradise too. She felt safe in his arms. As a return gift or was it a token of his invite, she rose up lightly to kiss his cheeks fondly. It was a warm gesture yet there was a unique sensual closeness in it. It was essentially the first time she did something so intimate and that literally snapped his last straw of self-restraint. The dam of his controls broke and he came around as an unstoppable blend of passion and love. All she could do was surrender to it without a word or denial. She too desired him with the same intensity that he desired for her and there were no reasons to pretend or act now.

That night, they made love for the first time and became husband and wife in every meaning. As he claimed her as his over and over again, he realized that it wasn't just plain physical attraction, desire or lust that he was feeling for his wife but the roots went even deeper. It was love and nothing but love.

Behakti Shaam Aayi Hai
Tujhe Lekar Ke Baahon Mein
Ho...
Tujhe Chhu Loon Ke Rakhu Main
Chhupakar Ke Nigaahon Mein
Ho...
Sharmati Ithlaati Hai Machalti Hai
Jaane Kis Aag Mein Yeh Shabnam Jalti Hain
Ho Lamha Lamha Doori Yun Pighalti Hai
Jaane Kis Aag Mein Yeh Shabnam Jalti Hai
Khwaahishon Ki Shaam Dhalti Hain...

Jaane Kis Aag Mein Yeh Shabnam Jalti Hai

He kissed away the tears that flowed out of her eyes in the ecstatic pleasure that he gave her and he whispered, "I love you Ishita"

Her reply was a soul searing kiss on his lips and he could hear every cell within her telling him that she loved him with all her heart. They were soul mates and were meant to be one. Perhaps that's why their so called first love never stuck to them for long.

The made for each other couple, whose hearts were already united and bonded by love, were one in all meanings, their body, their soul and heart blended with each other never to break apart, never to separate. Together forever and ever after!
