Driving through the eery silence of the night, the breeze so serene and soothing, this particular part of the year was so blissful. It had been so long since had travelled in his car with a clear mind to the extent of enjoying nature. But hectic life, office work just made sure he had his hands full all the time. Alas!! after a long time, he was now sort of free of the monotonous tension. Mr.Kartik Goenka could not wait to get home, cuddle into the arms of his Sherni and spend the night in a peaceful slumber. That was the best part of returning home each day. He knew whatever catastrophe happens, throughout the day, her hug, her warm smile would melt it all away. That was the thought he had in mind, driving home, the eagerness to see his Ms.Rishikesh again after the entire day, still same as it was years ago.
Finally after he reached home after the long drive, the lights were off in the entire house. Just a few lights here and there. That wasn't unusual for him because everyday he was used to returning home to sleepy faces, all tucked up in bed, all except his sherni. He felt bad making her stay awake till he came back but was still in awe of her endless love. He made sure he made no extra sound walking in to Goenka villa. The lights were still on in the kitchen, it must be probably be Naira heating up the food upon hearing his car drive in.
He stealthily walked upto her and engulfed her in a back hug. "Mendak mahraj aagayi" she teased and all he could do was reply a "Hmm" his voice muffled because he had his face dipped into the silky stream of her hair and even that sound reverberated through her sending shivers just like it was the first time.
Staying in his arms always felt so safe, like the best place in the world. She enjoyed every time he did this, engulfing her petite frame into warm, cuddly arms, his love radiating in the warmth of his hug. But she never let her joy become too obvious to him because teasing mendak was always fun. "Kartik, Kartik....kya aisi so gaya kya?" She asked due to his silence and removed his hands from around her and turned to face him. She turned to find him with his eyes closed, so much calmness on his face and to know that she was the reason for this even after these many years thrilled the being out of her. "Mendak..." she called out slowly. His dark brown orbs opened and the intensity in them never failed to captivate her . He just put his around her waist and said "No I wasn't sleeping, just enjoying the feeling of you in arms, just living the feeling of sereness I get with you. Aur kuch nahi" he said. Her cheeks turned a slight shade of crimson with his words and more than that his husky tone. "Ohhh..Mr.Majnu, don't you get started already. First finish up your dinner. Romance sab baad me. Understand?"
"Yes Ma'am. But only if you feed me.." he said with those adorable puppy dog eyes and a cute pout, and she could not help but pecking that pout lightly and moved away from him to set up the food.After all who could resist this bomb of cuteness and hotness. "Oii, Mrs.Goenka, this is not fair. You said no to romance now and how do you think you alone can get away with that kiss?" He called back with that sexiest smirk on his face. "Kartik, are you gonna keep standing there or do you mind getting some food into your system?" She asked from the dining area and that was enough to bring him to eat. As soon as he came there, he lifted her up from her seat and made her sit across his lap. "Now that's better"he said to himself and gazed into her face. Naira was so tempted to kiss him again but she knew she had to reign in her feelings for now or else once they start, there was no end to it. And just like that,she fed him and he like a little baby adoringly finished his food.
Once dinner was done, Kartik all but carried Naira to their room on the first floor saying he couldn't wait to lay and go into a deep slumber. But Sherni had other plans in mind. "Kartik, I feel like drinking tea. Mujhe Adrak wali chai chahiye, please make me one" she asked, her cuteness too strong for Kartik to turn down the favour.
"Garma garam Adrak wali chai coming right up for Mademoiselle". And he tossed his imaginary hat and went into the kitchen. Naira felt so lucky and she couldn't hell admiring her sweet and sexy hubby busy at work making the tasty cup of chai indeed. The cute pouts on his face while making the tea was so awe worthy. She never when he came and stood in front of her as she was still busy dreaming..."Kaha ko gayi??" Kartik whispered silently. " Mera pati kitna hot hai na?" She also dreamily whispered. Kartik took this opportunity and swept her into his arms "Aapka wo hot wala pati yahan hai, Whom are you looking at over there?? Waise bath to sahi hi. Tumhara pati hot hai, ekdam laal mirch ki thara".Naira coming back into her senses freef herself from his arms and ran foward" Over smart mat banao, it just slipped out of my mouth by mistake"she tried to speak and dragged him along with her to the terrace.
Kartik was confused to the core. This was so unlike Naira. Late in the night? Terrace? Adrak chai? What was going on? Kartim climbed the stairs to the terrace with these thoughts running in mind. Before they could step out into the terrace, Naira spoke" Mendak close your eyes, warna aankhe nikal dhoongi" . Kartik couldn't help laughing at her cute orders and said"Aye,Aye captain". He closed his eyes shut and she dragged into the terrace. He then lost contact with her hand for sometime. A few seconds later she was back by his side. She placed one hand of his on her waist and interlocked the other with hers. She rested her head on his shoulder and said "Open your eyes Kartik". Kartik knew she has planned something special. He opened his eyes to see the entire terrace lit up like a beautiful celestial place. The creewprs and crawling plants of the terrace were all adorned with the prettiest of tiny lights and in betwee them hung their pictures. They were right now standing in the middle of the terrace so he couldn't make out what pictures they were but he knew, if she had put them up it definitely must have some meaning to it.
That's when the music started playing. The voice of Elvis Presley booming through the speakers in the serene calmness of the beautiful night.
"Mendak,"the voice of Naira spoke and he looked at her now after analysing the surroundings. As the music started flowing in , they lightly swayed to its rhythm.
"Wise men say , only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
"Mendak, thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for making me your Queen Kartik. You are more than what I could have ever imagined of" and as she spoke her eyes were shining with tears, the light reflecting in her tear drops.
"Shall I stay, would it be a sin
But I can't help falling in love with you
"Mendak, you know I was just an ordinary girl, scared of feelings and emotions. Scared of commitments. But then you walked in, completely swept me off my feet and made me feel love that I never could have imagined my entire life"
"Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes, somethings are meant to be..
I am glad you were written in my destiny because I wouldn't have it anyother way. I was just Naira/Tina ruthless, loveless, a scarred soul. But you baby, you healed all my scars,healed them so much with your love that they are just unrecognisable. Your love is so strong and overwhelming ,sometimes I doubt whether I truly deserve it.
"Take my hand, take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you.
"Mendak , my cute sa pyara sa mendak maharaj, you are the best person in the world, the best partner anyone can ask for, you are the king of my heart."
"Take my hand, take my whole life too
But I can't help falling in love with you,
But I can't help falling in love with you.."
As the music came to an end, they were still swaying to the beats, in each other's arms, Naira still resting her head on his chest. She then looked up to see Kartik to see his expressions and by god ,she was shocked. Her mendak stood their with tears brimming up in his eyes ,just staring at her blankly.
"Kartik kya hogaya? Did I say something wrong? Were you hurt? Kartik,Kartik..." her sentence cut short by his lips slamming onto hers. First taken aback,she was more than happy to welcome his lips into hers as she moulded their lips together. It was nothing but pure passion, pure love engulfing them and intensifying their kiss. Kartik even sneaked his tongue into her mouth and she squealed with delight. It was a battle of their tongues, their love overpowering each other's lips , when they break apart for a short second,Kartik just cupped her face, running his fingers all over, just taking in her presence. "Naira, what was that?? He laughed lightly with half tears, trying to reduce the intensity of the situation." You know Naira, hearing all that out , it is just so beautiful, to think that there is my girl, who loves me more than I can ever need , who loves me with all my flaws and errors. My brave Sherni who tolerates this mendak. Naira, I promise to be the man you deserve. I promise to always be with you,in every situtaion coz you are all I am going to need throughout my life. You are my happiness, joy, breath of life. I love you so much meri jaan".
Kartik finally finished and he placed a warm soothing kiss on her forehead. Now it was Naira's turn to cry. Hearing those heartouching words of his, happy tears just made their way. "Hum dono Kitna pagal hai na? Aisa happy wala moments me bi we are crying buckets". She laughed and Kartik also joined in along with her. Their happy tear striken faces, beaming in the moonlight was a sight to behold. Their faces inched closer, foreheads inclined, their lips just a breath away, they soaked in that precious feeling. As their lips met once again that night, it was nothing but fireworks. He kissed her, worshipped her, showering kisses all over her hair, neck and everywhere he could get to. She stood there in his arms, just melting away in the scorching heat of his gaze and her legs becoming all wobbly with his intense kisses. He carried her up into his arms and made their way to their sweet haven.
Then they would make love and have a peacful slumber in each other's arms. That was how a day of life in Mr and Mrs.Kartik Goenka's went by.They threw such suprises now and then for no particular reason, just to express their love for each other. Such was their beautiful love story.
