An Affair.

|Day-4|

" I cant tell you how happy I am right now, all these years I've barely lived. After you left everything was lost for me, my family, friends meant nothing . It was like living in a void" Shivaay said incoherently over her lips, pecking every inch of it. For Some moment it was blissful, forgotten are the worries, miseries and all the hardships. Their kiss lasted till eternity, unaware of place and situation , their life for few moments they were in their world, pleasured and loved.

" I missed you!." Annika said cooing inside his arms, she felt safe and happy, more importantly felt home! with deep breaths she inhaled his scent which she was missing all these years. Both felt cared and loved.

The day went smoothly after their confession,  did whatever they wanted, walked around old places , secretly stealing glaces at each other. They were teenager again, free and valued. They were what they always wanted to be; together, happy. Walking around same roads, they traveled- old tea stalls, smoking joints, abandoned secluded places, glorious houses of past stood in ruins. N stood in their glory. Depicting life constantly changing. Walking down the memory lane, they found their old self- memories, miseries, dreams- their dreams, failure and everything in between. Living everything again was soothing for soul, contemplating how their life was, how it turned out; worthless.

It was late night when Shivaay and Annika reached her apartment. Silence prevailed, everything looked so dreamy just a few seconds ago. And realization was very hard to swallow. Their beautiful dream just broke into pieces. Only difference is, they have hope now. A full fledged Hope of happiness and love. They were firm with their decision, and sooner or later it will happen, they will be together for forever.

They knew their boundaries. Shivaay wished her good night with a peck on her forehead, she smiled, How contrasting her life is now. shivaay never feared to show his love, and Rohit never showed any care. That moment,gloom overpowered them for the moment but heart was happy, they will make it happen. She unlocked the door with heavy heart, with a sad smile she looked at him and couldn't control the urge and places her lips over his, it was passionate, rough and strong kiss.  Annika's hands over his chest, he held her with both hands, cupping her face to have access. Long unhurriedly done kiss, to make sure its not fake or dream, he is there and they are together. With each passing second heart rates shooting towards sky. The pain of separation of all these year, happiness to getting back together, hopes for future and peace of having love by side, it was mixture of everything, like a rainbow. Like a kaleidoscope, so many colors and patterns of emotions in one single time.

Shivaay was over cloud nine, a day passed and his life changed, he whistled, even though he doesn't know any song- random song, a random beat, because he was happy, very happy. All his days passed in work, angry with life and people, he was never satisfied. Anyhow days passed but nights were difficult to handle he never thought hell be so miserable because of someone that he neglect his family. But it was different after Annika left. today he felt light, anger reduced, burden reduced and a hope lingering around, it was a good feeling. Looking forward for a new day to come. Laying down on his bed, with a grin, for the first time he loved being alone in his penthouse, nobody to ask him any questions.

"This time I won't back out Shivaay! Come what may. Annika is now, forever belongs to you."  These words were the last thing words of her, that stayed inside his head, when he dozed off.

Next day arrives, there's nothing which is new on this day, but for Annika it felt she has just born today, old noisy neighborhood was now sounding musical, she patted her head few times for the illogical smile she had got today, she forgot everything, even she is married to someone and today he is about to come. It's not because she didn't want to remember it, but because for now she will only think about herself, she'll be for a change a little selfish.
Opening her phone, first thing she did was changing her wallpaper, earlier it was a tulip now she found an old picture of Shivaay looking over the sea. It was clicked by her, when she got hands on Shivaay's brand new digital camera, a gift from his bade papa, she clicked him, a candid photo, which she got from Shivaay, yesterday. He kept it safely to remind himself what he use to be with her. Annika kisses the mobile screen and sends him a Good morning message. She never been so excited in her life.
