her unknown path

first meeting

The marriage ceremony was in second week of December.
So on a fine sunny morning, we started for my Mom’s friends house in village.
The car left the city and was running among the green fields. I was sitting by the side of the window and somehow I was trying to dig into my head, how arwin would look like. She used to play with me in my childhood days, gave me warmth in cold nights.
I was engrossed in my thoughts, my mom nudged me.
---“village is near. We will be getting there in a hour”
During the way, my mom told me stories of arwin, how she used to play and love me very much. After hearing all those stories I was very eager to see that lady.
After sometime we reached mom’s friends house.
______________________________
As we entered the huge house, every where I could feel people running and enjoying the ceremony.
I was a total unknown person in that crowd. My mom introduced me with her friends prients; I bowed down and touched they feet. Then she introduced me with everyone of that family. But arwin was nowhere in sight. I felt hesitated to ask for her, I thought it would be unwise. My mom asked auntie rose(vir wife) about arwin. She answered, that arwin might be somewhere doing something mischief with her friends. She was the youngest of all so she was always naughty and mischievous from childhood days.
I was looking at my aunt rose while my mom was chatting with her; she was a beautiful lady in her mid thirties, round face, dark black long hair, and big black eyes.
Suddenly a bunch of girls passed from the side with all laughing and carrying some flowers and rose aunty called up one of the girls --- “arwin, come here,meet my friend kirti she  is searching for you.”
Out of the bunch, a sweet girl in her early twenties came forward. Her face was gleaming with bright smile of thousand volts.
She bowed down to touch my mom’s feet and my mom embraced her, held her chin and gave a kiss on her forehead.
Mom ---“Paree (arwin's pet name), you have grown up to be a beautiful lady.”
I was eyeing this beautiful girl; she was dressed in a pink gorgeous sleeveless dress which suited very well on her figure. Her hair was long and tied in a bun on her nape. There was jasmine flowers tied to her tresses which gave a sweet smell. Her skin colour was creamy white and soft. The winter rays of the sun gleamed on her skin. Her face was of oval shaped and smooth skin. When she smiled, it dimpled on her cheeks that made her smile and face more beautiful. I was taken aback by her beauty. Her slender arms and legs bereft of any hair were smooth like satin.
She gave me a queer look --- “This might be Adhi, your son.”
Mom nodded affirmatively --- “You remember, in child hood days you used to play with him, take him along with you everywhere you went.”
She pointed at me and said --- “Ohh, so Adhi has grown up a big boy.”
As she smiled looking at me, the words that emanated from those rosy red lips felt like honey in my ears.
She then said --- “Ok, auntie, I am in a bit hurry, I will catch you later.”
Then she looked at me and said --- “Hi, Adhi, you can call me Paree as my loved ones call me. I will surely catch you later. I have lots of works to do.”
Rose aunty smiled at her --- “You are doing nothing, except mischief.”
On hearing that, Paree (now onwards let us call arwin as Paree) --- “Ohh, my darling mom it is our time to enjoy.”
Saying so, she giggled away and got mixed up in the crowd of the marriage.
The sweet smell of those jasmine flowers lingered in my nostrils.
Then my mom and dad and auntie rose also went away, asking me that I should mix up and enjoy.
But I was new to everyone; I did not know where to go or what to do.
My mom and dad were nowhere in sight, they got mixed up in the crowd and was chatting or doing something elsewhere.
I went upstairs, with a cup of coffee. Leisurely taking a brisk walk to look around the house. It seemed everyone was busy of doing nothing.
I walked up to the roof and stood at one corner, beholding the beauty of the village and nature.
Downstairs I saw that very bunch of girls in the open space in front of the house.
Paree was looking like a princess in her pink dress ,surrounded by her maidens.
From top, I looked intently at her, devouring her beauty. She was a proud owner of an hourglass figure. Her well shaped arms, smooth glowing skin. Her chest was adorned with a pair of perfect shaped melons, not too big neither too small. I was trying to imagine, what it would feel like, if she cuddles me like old days.
