Kabhi to nazar milao

Perfect

When they met in the evening, Sameer was still reeling under the effect of their afternoon ride.

"Naina, meri jaan, kaise jhatke deti rehti ho... kya irada hai tumhara?" He crushed her in his arms the moment she reached the tree.

"Ab maine kya kiya?" She rolled her eyes at him.

He let out a deep breath at her innocence, "Kya kya bataun... tum toh roz kuch aisa kar deti ho ki meri neend udd jaati hai... kaise ek ek din kaat raha hun tumhare intezar mein."

"Intezar? Main toh tumhare saath hi rehti hun har samay... fir intezar kaisa?" She was perplexed.

He rested his forehead on hers, "Jab jab nahi hoti ho tab toh karta hun naa."

She brought her arms around his neck, "Abhi hun tumhare saath... abhi kyon aisi baat kar rahe ho?"

He tightened his arms around her waist, "Theek hai, abhi mauke ka faayda utha lete hain."

Naina placed her hand on his mouth as he closed the distance between their lips. He kissed on her fingers before asking anything.

And then came the question, "Roka kyon?"

She just smiled, raising her heels and hugging him, her cheeks touching his.

Sameer joined his brows, puzzled for a moment... then smiled, enjoying the softness of her cheeks on his skin.

"Thank you," she whispered.

Her voice was so low, he would have missed her words had she not spoken so close to his ear.

"Thank you kis liye?" He asked in a similar tone against her ear.

"Mujhe hamesha itna khaas feel karaane ke liye." She kissed the outer line of his ear.

Sameer felt a current pass through his body...

He moved back, to see her face. Her eyes were shining with love... with gratitude...

"Kya baat hai... aaj kuch zyada meherban ho?" He tried to remember what had he done to get this special treatment.

"Tum bohot achhe ho, Sameer." Her beaming face portrayed the admiration.

He narrowed his eyes, smiling, "Ab bata bhi do maine aisa kya kiya... jisse main hamesha aisa hi karun aur tum yun hi mujhpe pyar ki baarish karo."

"Sirf aaj ki baat nahi kar rahi... inn beete hue saalon mein tumne mujhe itna kuch diya hai ki main bilkul badal gayi hun... tumne mujhe ek aisi Naina bana diya hai jiski main kalpana toh karti thi par uski parchai tak bhi jaane ki himmat nahi rakhti thi... tumhare pyar ne, tumhare saath ne, iss bharose ne mujhe khud pe itna vishwas dila diya ki ab mujhe kisi baat se ghabrahat nahi hoti, darr nahi lagta... bas haunsla rehta hai ki tum mere saath ho." The respect for him was evident in her voice.

"Ab jo hum iss naye saal mein kadam rakhne wale hain, ismein hamara rishta badal jayega... tum mere pati ban jaoge... ek saath rehte hue shayad tumhe meri kuch baatein pasand na aayein... meri galtiyon pe gussa aaye... mere tareeke theek na lage... toh tum mujhe daant dena, samjha dena, gussa bhi kar lena... par kabhi ruthna mat... tumhara ruth ke door jaana main bardaasht nahi kar paungi." Her eyes turned misty.

He kissed her forehead, "Tumse ruthne ke baare mein kabhi soch bhi nahi sakta, jaan... kya tumhe lagta hai ki main tumse door ja sakta hun... main toh iss aane wale saal ka kab se intezar kar raha hun... tum koi galti kar hi nahi sakti... lekin main kar sakta hun... tab tum bhi mujhe daant dena par ruthna mat... theek hai?"

She dipped her head to one side, going back to the crook of his neck, closing her eyes as his musky smell dulled her senses. Sameer nuzzled in her hair, inhaling deeply, intoxicated by the fragrance surrounding him.
