Marriage Vows

20: Part 1

Mukti was still hugging Cabir tight... She made him sit on the bed... and gave him a glass of water... And closed the door, and seeing no one outside she knew they all went understanding the situation.. And moreover right now she could care less what others thought... Her Cabir needed her, and that was her foremost priority at that time... So she silently closed the door.. and turned back to see Cabir half lying on bed... with his legs still touching the floor, and his arms crossed over his eyes and head...

Mukti sighed, indeed it would be a long night for her... She went towards him, and lay besides him.. keeping her head on her elbow... and was looking at him... The silence was prevailing... the ticking of watch, sound of wind, everything was coming, but no voices heard... It was like mourning is going around.... And Cabir's room for once felt so alienated to her... She couldn't help but think and imagine herself laughing and giggling in this room... This room being so lively... and right now everything was a mess, frames broken, curtains torn, broken vase, mirror pieces, a total mess was that room to look at for that moment... A tear escaped her eyes.. Seeing the love of her life in so much pain and silence.. and having enough of his silence, she prepared herself to bear all that comes her way tonight....

When a person is hurt, angry or upset... he does not know what he is doing.. it can be either positive or negative, both ways are possible...

Mukti removed his arms from his head... Cabir didn't budged... she removed the other arm too... His eyes were wet... they were closed... and frowns were clear on his forehead... he was biting his lip, in order to stop his wails.... Mukti rubbed the tear from her eyes seeing him like this... And geared up to let him free of his pain tonight..

She waited for a few minutes, to let him open his eyes, but when he did not, she came over him... and sat on his stomach... Cabir immediately reacted and opened his eyes... His eyes were red, puffy, frowns on the forehead, messed hair... Mukti never even imagined seeing him like this... Cabir gave her a what look... While she passed a sad smile.. and bend down to his level... Cabir was just looking at her... She kissed his forehead, longer than ever, as softly as she could, as sweet as she could make this one kiss for him, Cabir closed his eyes almost immediately feeling her lips, causing the fresh tears formed to escape his eyes... Mukti moved back after kissing his forehead, and looked straight into his eyes... And said ruffling his hair, actually setting them a little right, then the mess he created out of them....While Cabir kept looking deep into her eyes...

Mukti: I hope this kiss would take away all the frowns from ur forehead, because frowns are not made for my baby... And i promise to never even let them reach u... i wish to take away all ur pain baby...

She said now slightly pressing his forehead... and straightening the cringes.... Cabir was just looking at her like a lost puppy... She gave an assuring smile to him... She palmed his eyes, closing them... and bend down kissing his eyes one by one... and rubbing of the tears forming in his eyes, which were escaping every now and then... She moved back, and spoke, massaging his eyes, lightly as softly as she could...

Mukti: These eyes are not meant to shed tears baby... u need to understand crying and shedding tears won't help... Talking and letting your pain come out will set u on peace... And moreover the eyes sparkling in joy are the ones which suit my baby, not these puffy swelled up wet eyes...

She moved her hands, rubbing the corners of his eyes, which were wet again...

While Cabir again looked at her... She again smiled looking at him... she pecked his nose lovingly, and caressing his cheeks said

Mukti: i don't like my baby sniffing and being sad, causing this cute nose to become red... Though u look cute with a red nose but still...

She winked at him lovingly... She could hardly hide her tears, seeing a non reacting cabir, sitting with all tears again and again, in silence, and expressionless face, with so much pain in heart and eyes... She rubbed her eyes, but didn't let the smile vanish from her face... she shifted a little downwards on his stomach, and bent down kissing his heart... Cabir's eyes made way out for more tears listening to her... while she caressing his heart said
