YOU ARE MY WORLD

Confession and Aftermath

Chakor was sleeping at Sofa while Suraj came back from Shimla. Suraj smiled on seeing his wife. I missed you, Biwi...I don't know how..but even though I am next to you...I can't stop missing you...
Suraj gently lifted her and placed her on her bed.
"Suraj.."
Suraj looked up at Chakor who was sleep talking.
"Suraj.."
"Mm.." Suraj responded quietly.
"Suraj...Mere.. paas aa.. jao na.. jaldi.."
Suraj grinned on hearing her response.
"Good night, Biwi"
"Mm..." Chakor rolled on to the other side of the bed.

Chakor woke up and noticed Suraj's luggage at Sofa.
Suraj is here!
Chakor stood up, reaching for Suraj who was cleaning puja room.
"Suraj.."
"Good morning, Biwi." Suraj glanced at her with a happy smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, Suraj" Chakor looked at him with guilty eyes .Suraj wondered why,
"What's wrong, Biwi? What is it?"
"I was wrong. I never should have done that. I didn't mean that. I didn't mean anything. I'm sorry..the things I said on phone that day..when I yelled at you..you are never wrong. I was wrong. I did that terrible thing..I can't stop thinking about that..I am really sorry..I..."
"Shsh.." Suraj placed his fingers over her lips. And with another hand he pulled her towards him, "No, Biwi. You are not wrong. And I'm sorry.. let's stop talking about that.."
"Mm..."
Chakor hugged him tightly.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Suraj got shocked on seeing Dadi and the whole family there.
Mar gaya!!
"Arjun!! What's going on here?"
"Dadi.." Suraj moved away from Chakor, "Dadi..galthi se.."
"Is ladki se toh yahi umeed thi. sharam hi nahi. Jawaan ladka thekh li aur chipak gayi...mujhe bilku.."
"Chup ho jaayiye!"
Everyone stared at Suraj with shock.
Suraj looked up at Dadi, "Chakor is my wife. Don't you dare... I won't hear a word against my Chakor.. I will forget my values if you even say another word.. I will really.. "
Suraj got so angry that he couldn't finish his sentence.
Everybody stared at him without even blinking.
"Suraj?"
Chakor called him feebly.
Suraj turned towards her and saw her eyes brimming with tears.
He hold her in his arms and She started crying bitterly.
Suraj then hold her tightly and told her in low soothing voice, "Chakor.. Kuch nahi.. Everything will be alright. I will make everything fine. Please Ro mat.. Please Chakor.. I can't see you like this.. Tum please.."
"Suraj.. Chakor ko lekar jao. And Maa, I will explain everything. Aap please shaant ho jaayiye"
"Arjun.. Tum ky"
"Maa please"

"No.. No.. I didn't do anything.. I really didn't do anything.. Please Suraj Trust me.. Please Suraj.
Please I didn't do anything wrong.. He lied.. He lied to everyone.. They all trusted him.. Mom Dad Dadi.. All of them.. Nobody trusted me.. Please Suraj.. Please trust me.. I didn't do anything.. He.. He.. He.. "
Chakor couldn't breathe.
"Chakor, I trust you.. I know you didn't do anything wrong. And you won't do anything wrong. Please Chakor.. I am here..don't cry..Relax" Suraj hold her tightly..
After few minutes, Chakor finally came to senses..
"Biwi? "
"Mmm"
"Are you okay now? "
"Mmm"
"I love you"
"Mmm" It took seconds for her to realise what her husband just said.
She saw him with her wide eyes. She is afraid to ask him whether she heard it right.
"I love you, Chakor" Suraj smiled at her sweetly.
Tears welled up at Chakor's eyes.
"Hey.. " Suraj looked at her with concern.
Suddenly Chakor hugged him.
Suraj laughed and held her gently.
His warm breath tickled her ear.  He took her in his arms and placed her on bed.
"Good night Chakor"
Chakor didn't let him to go, "Yahi par ruk jaana? "
"Then where will you sleep? " Suraj asked her playfully.
Chakor couldn't face her husband.
"Mein bhi.." Chakor replied to him in lower tone.
Suraj laughed out loudly on seeing Chakor pretending to look normal.
He laid on another side of bed, " And biwi..you are the most beautiful when you blush..blush kiya kar kabhi kabhi" Suraj held her hands and placed kiss on her hands gently, "I love you Biwi"
Chakor and Suraj had brief eye contact. Then Chakor draw herself close to him.
Suraj shifted so that his body rested beside hers, his leg and arm draped over her. She felt small under his warmth and strength. His eyes softened. "Being with you feels good. Touching you-"he tucked a curl behind her ear " -feels good. I have never wanted anyone like I want you. There's nothing you can do wrong when just breathing makes everything right."
His hand framed her face and his tone was edget with husky authority. "I want you, but only if you want me."
Chakor's arms wrapped around him, She pulled him closer to her and gently kissed him on his lips. His fingers gently massaged her neck, releasing the tension, erasing her unease. The kiss became a drug and they craved more with every touch. Their bodies twined so tightly to one another, she had no idea where she began and he ended.
Suraj felt strong and warm and muscular and safe and he smelled, oh, God, delicious. She couldn't stop kissing him as if  her life depends on it: his lips..and Suraj seemed as hungry as her. They rolled and they touched. She moaned and he moaned and their mind and soul and body stood on the edge of pure ecstasy.
Both of us gasped for air while kissing each other softly.
He shifted off of her and tugged her close to him. Her entire body became lazily warm, happy and sated. Chakor listened to his heartbeat and closed her eyes, enjoying the relaxing pull of his hand in her hair. "Suraj? " She whispered. "I thought..." we were going to make love.
He tipped her chin, forcing her to look at him. "We have forever to work up to that, Biwi. Let's enjoy every step of the way."
Chakor smiled at him sweetly. Her mind drifted this way and that. Mostly between focusing on his heart, his touch and the sweetest word she had ever heard: forever.
"Suraj, you are putting me to sleep."
"So?" he asked a little too innocently.
"I'll have nightmares."
"Then we 'll have an excuse to do this again." Suraj responded with playful wink.
"Suraj" She hit him playfully on his chest.
"

Good night Biwi"
Chakor smiled blissfully at her husband, "Good night Patidev"
