That day night:-
Anokhi- Shaurya! Thoda help karoge?
Shaurya- Haan kaho naa.
Anokhi- Pani khatam ho gya hai lekar aaoge. Kitchen se. Bohot pyaas lag rhi hai. Aur sir bhi dukh rha hai.
Shaurya- Arre. Lekar aata hoon ok.
He fetches water for her. He helps her rise from the bed to sip the water.
Anokhi- Shaurya! Thodi der aise hi rho naa please.
Shaurya- Haan yehi hoon aur kahan jaunga. Tumhara sir daba doon. I promise carefully karunga bina rashes ko hurt kiye.
Anokhi- Hey you didn't need to. I mean mein bas thoda bore ho rhi thi isliye keh dia.
Shaurya- Achaa kia. Ab kal mujhe kuch ho jaye toh tum company de dena jaisa tum chaho. Aaj mujhe dene do jaise mein chahta hoon. Ok?
Anokhi- Hmm. Ok.
And he gently presses her forehead.
Anokhi- Bachpan mein maa aise karti thi. Uske baad kisine nhi kia. I guess woh pyaar mein apni Mimi ko dene ki koshish karti hoon jo mujhe apni maa se nhi mil sakta.
Shaurya- Nhi. Anokhi. Tumhara pyaar alag hai. Aur tum Mimi ko uske hisse ka pyaar deti ho. Jo pyaar tumhare komal dil mein hai. Jis dil mein mera account bhi khulega par all of this love comes from the want to love not the need for it. I guess there can be a need to be loved but not a need to love.
Anokhi- Hmm. I have been so alone apart from Mimi from so long that I have a need to shower love. I have grown used to not being loved but this need to love just kept growing in me. And I want to find people to pour it into. And now I have you.
Shaurya- Yup. And I am truly lucky. But I want to make you feel special. I promise I will.
Anokhi- You have made me already feel special.
She takes his hand and places a kiss on it and Shaurya in turn kisses her forehead.
Shaurya- Ab achaa so jao. Jaldi se theekh ho jao. Because benefits ke liye wait kar rha hoon!
Anokhi- Huh! What. Bene... Kab bola maine aisa!
Shaurya- Bolne ki zaroorat thodi hai tumhe. Tumhare aankhon mein dikhta hai.
Anokhi- Kya Shaurya! Jab pehle pyaar kia, fir ussi ne rulaya. I don't know what will falling in love feel like. It's not going to feel like being in the clouds or candy anymore. I am a mom. I mean I don't have any of that left in me. The ability to suspend my belief. To fly. To lose myself in someone apart from my child. Be stupid in love.
Shaurya- No one should become stupid in love jaan! But yeah you love me in some way. That's enough. It doesn't have to be grand or all rosey and over the top or anything like in the films. It can be just the way you trust me to ask you to get a glass of water or let me dab your forehead or how you let me care for your daughter now ours but yeah.
Anokhi- Hmmm! So none of that stuff again?
Shaurya- Maybe! Maybe not. Don't stress yaar. One day at a time. It's ok.
Anokhi- Hmmm. Right now can I say you look adorbs and I find you super cute in your night dress. I mean it's so normal and yet! And I like that your waist fits exactly in the circle of my arms. And I like your hair. And I so, so love your suits.
Shaurya- Kahin isliye toh shadi nhi ki? I mean for my suits. I think that's the first thing I got to know about you, apart from your qualities and your flawlessness. Remember? I lent you my night dress. Shayd tabhi se planning hai to get into my night dress every night.
Anokhi- Huh! Haan. Naa. I mean that was so sweet of you that day but I can't still seem to put the incident in the back of my head.
Shaurya- Sorry! Yaar. I just wanted to tell about the night dress.
Anokhi- I know. Waise woh kahan hai? Woh shirt aur pyjama.
Shaurya- Rack mein hai. Sambhal ke rakha hai. Uske baad kabhi pehna nhi. I can't bring myself to wear it. Uss din tumhari halat yaad aati hai. And even looking at it makes me feel sick.
Anokhi- Huh! Please change of topic.
Shaurya- Waise shirtless mein hot dikhta hoon. Woh bhi dikha sakta hoon you know I don't want to nightiezoned.
Anokhi- Arre! I know. I know. Tum shirtless bhi acche hi dikhte ho. I know baba. It's ok.
Shaurya- Haww! Naughty. Kab dekha? Come on. Pati hoon. Cheap thrills sath mein nhi kar sakte but best friends jaise discuss toh kar sakte hai naa.
Anokhi- Subah tumhe lag rha tha mein so rhi thi toh tum aise hi aa gye the bahar. Sorry maine aankhen jaldi band kar li. Zyada nhi dekha.
Shaurya- Ohho! Abhi tak dekha hi kahan hai tumne mujhe. I could have stripped to below the towel you know.
Anokhi- Haww!
Shaurya- Oh look at her blush. Dekho! Dekho.
Anokhi- Shaurya. Nhi aisa nhi hai.
Shaurya- Arre toh itna blush kyu kar rhi ho. Aisa nhi hai toh. Haan! Ohho.
Anokhi- Arre bas beemar hoon toh lal lag rhi hoon.
Shaurya- Aise kaise ji. Subah se toh safed thi. Ab achanak se Lal!
Anokhi- Stop it naa!
Shaurya- Achaa. Achaa. Mein sir daba deta hoon. So jao! Rest karlo.
Anokhi- Hmmm.
How was it? Do comment! Please.
