Abhijeet's POV
"Wow....I think we are destined to meet.... See how our names too match... Akash ...Megha... Afterall we find Megham(cloud) in Akasham(sky) only"
" Akash, what are you saying...We need to rectify this mistake immediately. Tomorrow itself I will show you all around the city, What say?"
" I still can't believe a guy like you is single. What happened to all the girls in London?"
I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the conversation between Megha and Akash , my sweet cousin. Please note the sarcasm. I was boiling with anger inside and my fists clenched at my side as images of my wife laughing with that dumb head flashed through my mind. My all time belief of myself to be a calm and patient guy just flew out the window. Ram Chettan was right, when it comes to our wife we all are one hell of an alpha males, possessive and jealous to the core.
Even though I know that Megha was doing everything purposefully to make me jealous, I couldn't control myself. In midst of the meal, I "accidently" tripped all the Sambar over Akash but my victory was short lived as this was witnessed by Amma. At this age also, she can make my knees quiver. So here I am sulking over the fact that both MY wife and MY mother is supporting that Akash.
" Why did you leave without having the sweet?" I heard her melodious voice which instantly brightened up my face but remembering her latest action, I controlled my urge to smile. As childish it may seem to be , I turned away my face from Megha in protest.
" Awww.... My baby is angry. What happened?"
This made me look back at her incredulously while she stared back at me so innocently that I may have fallen for it, were it not for the slight twitching of her lips.
" I am not hungry . My stomach is full" I was on full tantrum mode
" With Amma's scolding?" Her voice was dripping with innocence but the suppressed giggle gave her away.
I gave her a dirty look which tipped off and she burst out laughing.
Wah, what a life. Here, I am upset and my wife is laughing her head off.
" Laugh all you want. I have become a laughing stock to you people now, haven't I?" I grumbled in displeasure
"My baby looks sooooo cute when he is angry and......" she stopped as she waited for me to glance at her
The moment when my eyes clashed with hers,
".......I LOVE MY ANGRY BIRD"
My heart fluttered on her confession and the green eyed monster instantly got crushed under that simple expression of love but still I didn't show it.
She then wrapped her arms around my neck and placed her lips gingerly on my cheek.
Her next words were the final nail in calming the beast as my heart bursts with happiness.
" People called me immature and childish but you made me feel your equal.....I have been careless all my life but with you I feel responsible..... I was always pampered, protected,loved but to be in love, I felt with you."
She cupped my cheeks and looked deeply into my eyes. The humor was gone and her eyes only reflected the truth . Her Truth.
" I may tease you, prank you or fight with you but at the end of the day I know I will be embraced in your arms. At every point in life whether near or far, I believe that your heart will always beat my name. I am not scared to fall because I trust you to hold me forever. "
Her each words were not only making me emotional but her too. In between, a lone tear escaped her eyes. Before she could wipe it , I caught it with my hand. With a sweet smile, she turned her head a little and placed a kiss on my palm.
" You are it , Jeet. I may stand in a crowd but without you I will be forever alone. You are my partner in every sense. What I fell for you cannot be expressed by a single word LOVE. It goes much beyond that......"
" I believe you......
I adore you......
I respect you.....
I love you......
I TRUST you....."
The honesty behind her every words brought me to my knees. In simple words, she gave me the world. I was struggling to keep my emotions in check but still my happiness spilled out in form of my tears.
" Jeet...." she called out in concern
" No.... Jaan. I am not hurt but just the opposite. I have never in my dreams imagined that a girl will one day bombard into my life and turn my life around completely. To be honest I am really scared whether I will be able to live up to your expectations"
I took her hands and placed my lips on them .
"Only thing that I know as clear as day is your trust, your love, your support is my strength. I can promise you the whole world, can fight with them because you stand with me. Today, with the moon and stars as witness, I wholeheartedly confess ,without Megha Jeet may exist but will loose himself forever. If my family has my heart then you are its beat..... I LOVE YOU, Jaan and you will forever and always will have my TRUST"
I could see the effect of my words on her face. She was struggling to keep the waterworks at bay so I wrapped my arms around her and took her in my embrace. Her tiny hands wound around my shoulder pulling me closer to her. We lost ourselves to the battle of tears as we stood beneath the canopy of stars.
After a while, we pulled apart. We wiped the tears still clinging to our lashes but never taking our eyes off each other. She was always gorgeous but the twinkle in her eyes were increasing her beauty ten fold. A smile automatically curved on my lips seeing a blush slowly spreading over her cheeks.
" I want to belong to you, Jeet "
Her voice interrupted my chain of thoughts and my breathe hitched as meaning of her words dawned
" Are you sure? We have all the time in the world. You don't have to take this step for me. It should be for us .....always us"
" It is for US, Jeet.I don't want to waste another second of our life. I want to experience the beauty of being together in every sense"
Her face spoke different emotions, nervousness, fear, passion, desire and.... love.
I pulled her more closer and lifted her chin towards me. I leaned down slowly towards her mouth. She closed her eyes in anticipation but opened it when she felt me stopping within an inch of her lips. I once again seeked her permission through my eyes. Her shy smile was enough of an answer and I covered the remaining distance.
With my lips barely touching hers, I said in a seductive whisper,
" I have been yours from the day I met you but today I make you mine"
Before covering her lips with mine in the most passionate and intense kiss of my life.
