Kajol-2010

I bite my lip as Shah Rukh traces kisses up my neck towards my ear. I close my eyes as I feel his breath fan my cheek before his lips press against mine. He is such a good kisser!
"Can you not wait ten more minutes?" I ask breaking the kiss placing my hands firmly on his shoulders. He smirks at me making me blush as I try to slip past him. We've only been 'remarried' for three hours and he already wants to swipe me off my feet and into bed!
"Nahin I can't wait, I've been waiting all day. You know it's harder with the kids around," Shah Rukh whines playfully. Tonight will be the first night Shah Rukh and I will have away from our kids. After Taj was born we spent a lot of time as a family, me, Shah Rukh, Aryan and Taj, trying to patch over the whole divorce issue and mother crisis I had after my fathers death. We have become stronger and closer as a family. Even my mother commented on how we had become more of a family unit after I admitted everything to Shah Rukh. I couldn't tell him how much I loved him for months after Taj was born. He kept saying it was okay and that he knew how much I loved him just by looking at me but that just made me feel guiltier. Taj became a healthy baby, filling out to his proper size even though he was premature and Aryan doted on him so much. I felt the family wasn't complete but I knew a Shah Rukh thought it was. For him two kids was enough but I was desperate for a baby girl. I didn't tell Shah Rukh I wanted another baby. It didn't seem the right moment, we were recovering from my premature labour, tackling my grief, getting over my divorce threat, trying to be their for Aryan. It was two months before Taj's first birthday when the words 'I love you' fell from my mouth before I hastily told Shah Rukh I was pregnant again. I didn't want to ruin things but Shah Rukh just picked me up and spun me around and told me how happy he was to be extending our family. So nine months later out popped Suhana our precious baby girl who has two older brothers to look out for her. Then another year passed and Shah Rukh proposed to me again. It took me by surprise. One minute we were having a family dinner, me, Shah Rukh, the kids, my mum and sister, then the next thing Shah Rukh is on one knee with a black diamond engagement ring in a velvet box. Of course I said yes! My love for Shah Rukh just continues to grow. I don't know what I would have done if I had actually divorced him. I mean we have been through so much together that it wouldn't feel right without him by my side. We are inseparable. Shah Rukh even gets me on set when he's working so I can be near him, because it feels strange being home alone with the kids when he's away. I don't know what I'm going to do when Aryan starts school! So that's how we reached this moment in time. We have just remarried, made our vows, promised each other our lives for eternity as shown by the eternity tree, circled the ceremonial fire seven times, been blessed. And now Shah Rukh wants us to have some alone time. I would personally wait till we reach out honeymoon destination this evening, a beach house down in Goa, but Shah Rukh can't seem to keep his hands off me. I'm sort of liking his touch on my body but I also know we still have guests to entertain for at least another hour before we can slip away in his private helicopter.
"You are so hot when you're trying to be authoritative," Shah Rukh mumbles before pressing his lips against mine. This time I just lose myself in his touch. I couldn't care less about the reception happening outside our door because right now it's just me and Shah Rukh and we are all that matters...
"Ma?" Until we get interrupted by Aryan followed by his brother. Those two are like 'me and my shadow'. It's sweet but I know Aryan gets annoyed sometimes.
"Haan?" I say pushing Shah Rukh off me as I feel heat rising up my neck to my cheeks. Aryan just stares at us whilst Taj continues walking into the room gesturing for one of us to pick him up. I swing him onto my hip walking over to Aryan and placing my hand on his shoulder guiding him back out the room.
"Sorry we barged in," Aryan mumbles as we walk back into the thick of the reception. I smile at him before bending down so I'm crouching at eye level.
"Nahin you didn't barge in," I kiss his forehead, "are you alright?" Aryan nods his head as Taj rests his head against my neck signalling he's tired and so he should be it is way past his bedtime.
"I just missed you guys," Aryan mutter embarrassed by his admission that he misses his parents when we're not around. I smile at him using my free arm to hug him before standing up and gesturing for him to take my hand.

"Can you hear that?" Shah Rukh asks holding his hand to his ear. I listen intently but can't her anything.
"What?" I question leaning closer to him wondering if maybe the noise is nearer to him.
"That's the sound of silence," he whispers placing his arms around my waist and pulling my body close to his. I roll my eyes and smile. Yes it is nice to be here with Shah Rukh having just made love listening to nothingness but there is a part of me which misses the ruckus of our family home. I feel like Shah Rukh and I adjusted too well to having three kids. We know when exactly the best times are for 'alone time' and still manage to have a pretty good marital life. We have found the perfect balance between family and couple and individuality.
"Hmmm feels weird doesn't it?" I sigh against his neck feeling him tense up as my breath tickles his skin.
"Haan, it does," he says thoughtfully as I place a delicate kiss on his neck. Shah Rukh moves his head so he is looking down at me as I smile up at him.
"Maybe we should cut this honeymoon short and go on a longer one with the kids?" I ask knowing Shah Rukh's answer straight away. He nods his head enthusiastically before kissing me again initiating another round of love making before we abort ship and go on a family vacation.

********************

Kids can always make you do the craziest things! I guess that's why I'm stood with my back against a tree trying to make as little noise as possible whilst keeping an eye out for Aryan, Taj or Shah Rukh. We are playing a boys against girls water fight which sort of turned into a use anything you can find fight so now we are covered in water, flour, icing sugar and some old Holi dust colours we found under the stairs.
"Boo," Shah Rukh whispers in my ear grabbing my waist lifting me off the floor. I scream being taken off guard as he fireman lifts me to the middle of the grass before placing me on the floor. He smiles at me not even attempting to throw anything at me which I find strange... Until Aryan squirts the hose pipe at me and Taj throws flour over me whilst Suhana runs around letting the Holi colours attack me. I roll my eyes dragging Shah Rukh into the middle with me so we are both getting bombarded by our kids. Shah Rukh wraps his arms around my waist and laughs as we slip onto the floor me on top of him. We are laughing so hard we don't realise the hose pipe has been turned off or that we are no longer being bombarded by flour bombs or coloured dust. In fact we are so focused on each other that we just let our lips touch forgetting about our kids who are groaning in the background.
"I love you," I whisper pulling back and smiling at Shah Rukh.
"I love you too," he mumbles grinning back at me before I feel his fingers tickling my sides making me giggle before rolling off him. That's when the kids join in tickling me along with a Shah Rukh as I lie laughing uncontrollably on the floor. Standing on the outside it would be hard to believe that only a couple of years ago Shah Rukh and I were a secret couple sneaking around behind everyone's backs trying to please others before ourselves. Now... Now we choose to please ourselves and our kids before anyone else because to us they mean the world! And that's how our story ends. We are the Khan family... me, Shah Rukh, Aryan, Taj and Suhana. Perfectly happy but perfectly unnormal. I wouldn't change anything for the world. Maybe Shah Rukh and I are so close because we had to keep so secret? All I know is that this is the perfect ending to our secret love story.
