BEYOND THE CLOUDS (Completed)

Chapter 60

Back in the flight, Just the thought of that toe curling reunion on that particular day was enough to stain her face red with a blush that she was sure was deepening every second.

She turned sideways to look at her husband scratching his jaw while peering deep into his laptop oblivious to her thought going crazy at the moment.

Shehnaaz could already feel her nipples harden and her core clench as her naughty mind went back to the day when they made crazy love for hours compensating for the lost time. She was so caught up with that moment that she didn’t even realize that a moan audible enough to Sidharth’s ears had slipped out of her mouth and he was now looking her astonished.

There was a sheepish smile on his face as though he had read her thoughts and knew exactly what she was thinking about. It made her want to bury herself alive out of embarrassment.

“Someone’s been fantasizing, I guess” with a coy smile, he teased.

“Are you out of your mind? There is no such thing happening. You and your pervert thoughts can go take a hike” she retorted, trying to save her face.

“Oh really? Mrs. Pervy Perverson, Frisky seems to be your middle name right now as you are sitting beside me moaning loudly” shutting off his laptop, he removed his glasses and promptly rose while she looked at him puzzled.

“don’t you think its time for a membership renewal at the Mile high Club?” his mischievous, pie eating grin was back and that very moment Shehnaaz knew she couldn’t say no to that face.

Radiating with a post coital glow after spending the remaining hour in the flight worshipping each other physically, Sidharth and Shehnaaz landed in Greece and headed straight to the Tinos island where their villa was located.

A traditional cycladic house from the outside and a luxurious holiday home on the inside was probably the best way one could describe the beautiful house set on the backdrop of rugged hills in the country side.

With the immaculate use of white and blue tones of color, the villa overlooking the vast ocean was a spectacle. Shehnaaz fell in love with it and was almost about to put her feet up on one of the loungers by the pool to soak in the quaint architecture and the color play of the gleaming sunset when Sidharth dragged her towards the house, under the pretext of some surprise.

But just as they were about to enter, a loud cheer erupted from all sides shocking Shehnaaz.

It took her a moment to come to terms with the unbelievable sight in front of her when she registered the presence of all their friends, including Kartik and Freddy.

They came charging towards Sidharth and her and almost instantaneously engulfed them both into a group hug.

The smiles and hugs just would stop. Shehnaaz was still clutched into Kartik’s tight embrace when the room went silent all of a sudden except Sunaina, who had launched a ear piercing scream.

She turned around to see what had sent Sunaina into a frenzy and was equally stunned by the visual of Sidharth bent down on his knee as he popped open a tiny blue box.

“I goofed up big time in Maldives, So I had to get it right this time” Shrugging his shoulders and with a sheepish grin, he launched into a full blow proposal.

“Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, some people love each other, but you and me? We heal each other” his steady gaze was even softer than his voice. “when you love someone, they become a part of who you are. They are present in everything you do. They are in the air you breath and also in the blood that runs in your veins. Their touch, their voice, their thoughts constantly dwell in you. Their sorrows are yours and their joys too. Deep down you know they are not perfect, infact they are terribly flawed. But the flaws don’t scare you. Instead they make you love them all the more. Because what you are looking for is not perfect, what you are looking for is a soulmate. And for me that is You, my love. Always have been. From the moment I saw you beyond the clouds” his words reached out to her like a caress and dove straight to her soul.

Her happy tears couldn’t be held back. She giggled and perched on his lap, planting her lips on his as an agreement to the perfect proposal.

“say yes to being mine, forever baby” he crooned into the shell of her ears.

“Always was and always will be” she replied back and that was the cue for the party to get started.

___________________________________________

A few years down the line

As promised to each other, Sidharth and Shehnaaz broke the Shukla jinx and created a small world within the four walls of their house, the very base of which was unwavering faith in each other and their love. Ofcourse the mad party never ended and the celebrations only grew with the birth of their three children, Avyaan, Ishaan and although unplanned, the last one was the cherry on the icing, their little princess Adhya whose birth completed the family picture.

***************The End***************

The last and the final part, marks the completion of my story.

Could I have written it better? Could I have ended it better? Yes I could have. But as you all know I and my family are going thru trying times and this is what I could manage.

So long until my next story.

Love and luck.. SidNaazkidiwani
