Rooh

The Red Carnation

Chapter - 32

Tapasya

I open the door of his apartment with the key I have. I get inside but there is no one. Where he is? I look around he is nowhere. My gaze fell on his room door which is slightly open. I open the door and get inside the room. He is sleeping in bed. My heartbeat fastens seeing him. I take a deep breath to control my heartbeats.

I go towards him slowly without making any noise. I sit beside him in bed. It's nice that he is sleeping he made my work easy now all I have to do is apply the portion on him.

He is sleeping peacefully with his mouth slightly open. I smiled.

" Meri jaan" I whispered.

Hmm aankhon se padhke tujhe
Dil pe maine likha
Tu ban gaya hai mere
Jeene ki ek wajah

I trace my finger from his forehead to his jaw. How can someone be so beautiful? Like an angel.

Teri hasi
Teri adaa
Auron se hai
Bilkul judaa...

Get out from your dreamland Tapasya. I shook my head. Apply the portion and get married to him fast then he is all yours no one can come between us. I'll get married to him wearing his name sindoor and mangalsutra. I blushed thinking this.

I take out the bottle from my bag and look at it. I don't know whether it will work or not but I know one thing if we do something with all faith it will work so I'm putting my all faith in this please work.

I open the bottle when I heard a loud sound I get startled by the sound and my grip losses of the bottle and it fell on the floor and break. I looked at the broken bottle horrified. Now?

I get down from the bed and start collecting its pieces. The glass cuts my finger. Ahhh. I can't collect the liquid which was in the bottle. I look up I know I'm unlucky but this is unlucky.

I sit on bed defeated now what do I do? I also don't have enough money to buy another bottle. I place a hand on my forehead. I'm feeling like crying.

Idea!

I apply it on my neck if I hug him maybe it applies on him too. But what if it doesn't work? what's wrong in trying, let's try. I looked at Ruh who is sleeping. I lean down I come close to his face. He looks more beautiful from close. I close my eyes focus Tapasya. Yeah focus!

I open my eyes and see Ruh looking at me. My eyes get widened seeing him awake. I sit up and he also gets up.

I looked in another direction. Seriously? God. Now, what excuse do I give him.

" What were you doing?" He asked and I close my eyes.

" Das rahi thi me tumhe" I glared at him.

( I was going to bite you)

" Have you gone mad?" Yes, I don't even know what I'm doing.

" Say something," he said.

" Please lay back down so I can continue my work," I said.

" Huh?"

He gets down from the bed and stands in front of me. I close my eyes and stand up.

" I come here to apologise to you for that day. I overreacted and said so many things to you but I didn't mean it. I'm sorry please forgive me" I said looking down because I'm ashamed.
