My hands moved around her petit yet strong frame stopping at a particular spot.
The day I captured this shot was a day I will remember always.
The lucky silver lined lehenga hugged her perfectly. Damn I still feel jealous. And I could feel the heat rising and blood rush through my veins. I already feel my skin turning into a heating carpet.
Hair flung open, straight ,long and shiny. Oh how I wish I could run my hands in her hair while pulling her in for a......
Shut up brain. You are overthinking!
Ah .Not my fault. Scold the "Buddhu Sa Dil".
The fight between the two powerful controllers of my tapering body would go on endlessly so I decided to divert my attention again , to something or precisely someone who had by now robbed me of all my senses and attentiveness.
Propped on my stomach , dreamily I ogle at the next snap. Moms and their daughter.
I still don't know what mom whispered in her ears that made her laugh out so loud that I could hear it from a distance.
Embarrassment struck me , as realisation of my gawking posture hit me hard. It was my brazen gaze which resulted in a rosy tint all over her face, perfectly complimenting her.
Plus everyone around had their mouths flung open seeing a MIL and DIL being so funny around each other.
That ain't their fault either because every family cannot be Khanna family now. That moment filled my eyes with immense pride.
Coming back. Right now it's been a month since then. I have just recorded my first song. Life's taken a steady path. And it's all because of her.
Despite that all I could do was to frown and make faces , why? Because Avni has been busy lately , leaving no time for ME . But I don't blame her, she is a police officer and that's what makes my day or rather my life.
The fact that I'll be the husband to a Police woman. To a generous soul, to a strong independent woman.
Checking the clock Neela maa gifted us on our engagement I sigh realising it's already late night.
Normally clocks are meant to save time but in my case this clock is the reason for the scoldings I've been subjected to ever since it has been decorated.
Since it has numerous pictures enclosing the 'Tik-Tok' , every time my eyes cross paths with it, I am doomed.
Every picture tells a story. Like always I got engaged in another flashback, courtesy it.
Sleep is far from me. Very far.
At times , my mind pricks me for being such a kid........and asking for hugs. Sadly it has become an incurable disease for a fragile kid like me.
A sly smile made its way upto my face as I , once again lost myself to the dreamland we both have created. My memory had me going crazy as i reminisced the day when I asked her to click a pic wherein we were sharing a kiss.
To my astonishment, after initial hesitation she surprised me , like always ,with a quick peck simultaneously clicking a selfie.
We didn't frame it of course, our family would go bonkers!
The wind chime shone under the pale moonlight.
Closing my eyes I let the chimes play a lullaby for my uneven heartbeats. But deep down , my heart told me that only one person could calm it.
Putting on my slippers I rush towards the terrace. That's the only place which would be able to lend me a teeny weeny amount of patience.
The breeze embraced me with a warm welcome albeit with coolness. Looking up I witness the stars gazing at me. Twinkling , sparkling looking serene and dynamic all at once. In the haunting silence I could hear the sounds of the waves crashing at the sea shore accompanied by the slight melody of my beloved chimes.
But after all this, something was still missing!
"Tu Safar mera , hai tu hi meri Manzil
Tere Bina guzara
Ae Dil hai mushkil!"
My hands reached to the pocket of my lower only to retreat back. Declining my heart's constant requests to call her, I took my brain's wise advise of giving her the space and freedom she deserves and rightfully owns.
So to please my heart I started singing! Although all those efforts were in every direct or indirect way linked to ACP Sahiba.
"Tu mera khuda
Tu hi duaaon Mai Shamil
Tere Bina guzara
ae Dil hai mushkil..."
To my dismay my heart refused to accept my apologies and started beating in faster , uncontrollable way.
Keeping my hand on my chest, shutting my eyes , I took a deep breath before muttering, "Avni!"
A sweet musky fragrance touched my soul.

"Neil!" Giving a fake-angry-look ,which I bet was there , she entwines her toughened hands around my chest as she rests her head on my back.
"I could hear your heartbeats."
Replying I turn around as she looks up straight into my eyes.
"Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera"
Continuously batting her long black lashes at me while her arms resting on my shoulders. Playing with the hair on the back of my neck , she finally rests her head on my chest.
Without wasting a moment I let my fingers skillfully stroke her lustrous moonlit hair.
"Missing me ?" She asked with a playful spark in her big enchanting eyes. It took a minute for me to comprehend what she was saying. I was so lost.........I am still.
Choosing not to reply , I simply smile.
"Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil"
Greeting me with her famous dil-churaofying cheshire grin , we let the stars and the Chaand witness us as we entrap each other in the caring embrace of our souls.
"Tumhare bina to jeena hi namumkin hai, har pal mai tumhare saath ek nayi yaad banana chahti hun Neil , bas tumhare saath...."
An honest, heart touching , eye watering confession in pyjamas! Underneath the sky that blazed due to sparks we created.
Finding no words I just mumbled a simple ,"Mai bhi lady thanedar ji .......mai bhi."
I will never be able to decipher what she found in those words.
Nor do I understand how in this world , this gorgeous lady loves me. It's another secret she has kept in her heart. But I know like all other secrets, she will reveal it to me , one day maybe.
But for now, it's all good.
