love? 2 (On Hold)

The Talks:

Gau: Auto..! Auto..!
An auto rickshaw stopped in front of her. The driver peeked out and asked..
Drv: Where do you wanna go??
Gau: Sawantji's alleyway.. Please!! fast!!
Drv: But its too late now. What if you get in trouble?? See, women should not roam around such dangerous alleyways.. That too in night!!
Gau: Bhaiya, I can take care of myself and hurry!! its urgent!!
Saying this, she hops in the auto.
Auto takes its start.

After seeing the call being cut automatically, Omkara dropped the phone beside and tried for the nth time to get up from the ground. Instead, only thing that he could do was just to crawl towards his car and pant heavily.

Suddenly a rattling sound of metal balls entered his ear and without even looking at the direction of the source of the sound, he knew who it was.
So he waited patiently trying to grasp air using his mouth until a pair of soft small hands held his stubble cheeks between them and started caressing his bruises with their thumbs.

Gauri's heart was internally bleeding at that sight. She grabbed his upper arm and tried to lift the man who was almost a giant compared to her.

He chuckled dryly at her effort and got up slowly bracing upon the car bonnet. She asked,
Gau: where is the key??
Om: I can't drive in this condition..
Gau: (snapping) My buddhu Jatadhari, I'll drive.
Omkara looked at her with panic stricken face and she shoved her hands in his pockets. Taking out the key, she helped him settle in the passenger seat and started driving towards his apartment.

On reaching, they settled in the sofa.
Om: Thank you Shankarji, its your blessings that kept this Chirota alive!!
Gauri rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.
Om: Ouch!! It hurts!
Gau: Buddhu, I have a driving licence!!
She went to the drawer to find the first aid box and came back with it.
Gau: Take a bath, change and lie down.
Om: (nodding like a little boy) Okay Ma'am..
Gauri just rolled her eyes in despair. And nodding again, she entered his room.

The door of the bathroom clicked open and he staggered out half naked, wearing his sweatpants only, water dripping from his wet locks. She was unashamedly ogling over his physique as he paused before her,
Om: My face hurts.
Gau: I told you lie down.
Omkara obeyed her and laid on the bed.
She damped the cotton in antiseptic and applied on his bruises. He hissed due to the burning sensations of the Antiseptic. She started blowing softly over the cuts.. Tears trickling down feeling his pain.

Om: When you can't see me in pain, why did you punish me??
Gau: I slept at night with these same bruises for thirteen years, Omkaraji. Let you experience this for at least one night. I am treating your wounds tonight.. But who was there when I was beaten up like this??
Her eyes looking at the wall blankly, maybe replaying his deeds.. He couldn't take that anymore, he bursted in tears hugging her waist, shoving his face into her lap. His bruises started burning at the contact of his tears.

She lightly lifted his face and rebuked,
Gau: Ah!! Don't cry.. You are paining yourself!
Om: Why didn't you leave me then?? Why did you choose to stay back?? I don't deserve to be treated well, why did you acknowledge me as your husband??
Gau: Because I couldn't.. I just couldn't.. I thought one day you should acknowledge our children and I could never snatch their father from, I can't even now??
Om: (lifting his face) And what about you?? Your dream of your prince charming??
Gau: (half smiling) You remember that? What if I say that, It was YOU.
Om: You're kidding me!!
Gau: No. I really wanted to set up a family with you.. I.. I.. I loved you..
Om: You what??
Gauri gave away a sad smile.
Om: Oh my God.. Oh my God.. But now?? Ha!! What a man I am!! I just strangled my family, enough to hate me to hell!! Wow!! Give me an applause..! Clap??!

He started clapping rolling back on bed. Gauri held his wrist firmly and nodded her head in no giving him a pointed look. He stopped clapping sighing exasperatedly.
Om: (facing her) How can I beg for your forgiveness Gauri?? How??
Gau: People are forgiven when they do wrong, not when they commit a crime... And what you did, was indeed a crime.. Omkaraji, how can I forgive you??
Om: Then(confused)..
Gau: Why am I helping you?... Right!?!.. (Pauses)(bits her lower lip).. Even I don't know Omkaraji. I can't see you in pain.. Even now.. (sobs)

Omkara, bewildered by her statements, suddenly pulled her on his chest.. Kissing away her tears.
Om: Shhh.. Gauri, you are the dabangg girl, dabangg girls never cry.
She stopped sobbing and centered her orbs and her concentration towards his chocolatey brown orbs. They were conversing by a language of their own.. Unknown even to themselves..
What language it was??
Was it of Love (?)

Slowly, she got off his chest, laid down beside him.. Facing each other intently.

Their face came closer, first laid upon one pillow and then continued until they were hairlines apart... Their eyelids drooped in anticipation. Their  lips finally touched... Brushing each other as they murmured sweet nothings. Their breaths mingled and his hands snaked around her waist as she clutched his bare shoulders, their wildly racing heartbeats conversing.

He lazily grazed her lower lips as she  nurtured his upper moistening it with her love(?). They moved in a sync sending them into a state of drugging euphoria. Slowly his lips became demanding and he got over her, his naked torso pressing, he started kissing her in a passionate drugging way.. Moaning, she fisted his hair in her little ball of hands. She felt him hardening at her side and he also moved out of the kiss immediately.

Groaning, he moved away. She felt wanting, but couldn't figure her need out. She slowly crawled near him and touched his shoulder. He shoved her hands. Tears filled her eyes as she moved away..
Gau: You lied. Your shayaris lied! You loathe me even now!! To you, I'm still the dirty woman who is a money hungry slut!!
As she was about to climb down, she was yanked back upon his hard chest.

He flipped her over and held her face closer to him,
Om: Chaahat aisi hai ki sharm bhi sharma jaayen, lekin kya krein mohtarma, jab paas aate hain to yeh masoom aankhon mein hi qaid ho jaate hain.
Gauri hid her flushed face in his chest.
Gau: Besharam chirota!!

Omkara tightened his grip around her and shed silent tears mumbling sorries, and she cuddled into him more until slumber comforted her bleeding heart and tears dried at her cheeks.
Their sleeping forms bathed in the moonlight as the beams sparkled them in silver lines.
Two wounded hearts, embracing each other for eternity.

Late, late, late...
I posted a public message in my account stating the ill condition of my brother's health. Well, he is hospitalized and slowly recovering.
