FINDING LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN . . . .

11. THE LOVE IN THE SILENCE ..

It was 6:30 am.

The first rays of the sun made its subtle appearance on Rohit's face. 

Hair strands all over his face , a stiffness in his left arm , a heaviness on this body . . .  his eyes opened slightly to see the most beautiful person in his life sleeping peacefully with her head on his chest , her left hand tightly clenching onto his kurta at the unbuttoned part , her left leg flung over his left  facing him exactly the way she clung onto him on the first night after their marriage. . only this time a little more tighter . To anyone who saw them at this point it would feel like two bodies  , so beautifully entangled to form one single pice of art. Rohit was like the static piece of this art around whom something  very dynamic held on at multiple points to complete a pure piece of aesthetic.

There was a certain calm rhythm , a feeling of sync in the way they were even breathing or the way their hearts were beating.  Rohit slowly moved his right hand to silently clear the strands of hair from his face  first and then from hers , while his left held her firmly, trying not to disturb her peaceful sleep.

He placed a subtle kiss on her head as he took all of her fragrance in . In that one moment he had decided he is never letting her go , COME WHAT MAY .

He had decided that he wanted to wake up every single morning for the rest of his life with her in his arms , kissing her , pampering her , loving her. He had decided he needed her more than ever back and he was going to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.

As he was busy admiring her , he noticed her tired eyes from the crying . He whispered ' I am Sorry . . You didn't deserve this . . but I am going to make up for everything whichever way you would want it .I love you '.  Just as he bent to place another kiss on her head , she jerked opening her eyes. 

Rohit immediately shut his eyes . He body felt stiff sleeping in one position all night but he did not move . The first thing she saw as she looked up as soon as she opened her eyes  was Rohit's face . 

Not registering the set of events and happenings  immediately , she smiled . She had slept well. A little later as she realised the entire set of events , she was uncomfortable to have clenched his kurta , to have slept on his chest , to have almost been over him with her leg across his . She was shocked , yet there was a happy peace. She was happy that he was still asleep , or else it would have been an embarrassing  situation for her. Yet she wanted to experience a little more . 

She looked down again , clenched his kurta tighter , placed her head again on his chest and held him a little more tighter. With a smile on her face she closed her eyes as she felt his fragrance. 

Rohit smiled as a lone tear dropped from his eyes . He laid still for a good fifteen minutes till Sonakshi had decided that she wanted to wake up after experiencing him fully. She woke up. Rohit still had his eyes closed . Just as she woke up , she jerked ' ouch '. Immediately he opened his eyes Kya Hua ?

Sonakshi : Mere baal .....A few strands of her hair  were caught up in his Kurta button.

Rohit : Rukho .....as he slightly sits up closer to her . Their eyes meet . . There was no Rehaan. It was just the 2 of them . Rohit slowly releases the hair as she sits still and tucks it behind her ear.  His gaze did not seem to move making her uncomfortable.

Sonakshi : Rehaan kaha hai ? .. Yahi toh tha kal raat ko ....

Rohit : Uthke gaya höga apné maa ke paas raat ko. Sota toh yahi hai , par uthata kahi aur hai .....Smiling 

Sonakshi smiles : Bahut hi jyaada pyaara hai. There was an awkward silence. 

Sorry Rohit ....Rohit looks at her with a curious look ....Nahi woh maine itna sab kuch keh diya tumhe Rehaan ko leke . Uski maa ne mujhe bataaya ki aisa kuch bhi nahi tha.

Rohit : Bahot kuch waisa nahi hota hai jaisa dikhta hai Sona. Agar samjaane dogi toh samjaa dunga .

Sonakshi : Mujhe kuch nahi samajnaa..... Knowing very well where this is heading she turns her head away . 

Rohit : Mujhe sote hue chodke gayi thi tum ....  aur tumhe kuch nahi samajnaa?.... Really ? Aisa kaun kartaa hai ? ........ Yeh hai tumhaara Pyaar . . Maanfi mangi thi maine, aut tumne bola tha ki tumne maaanf kar diya .

Sonakshi : Rohit mujhe kuch nahi sunna. Bas divorce le lete hai aur ye kissa khatam karte hai. Sonakshi knew that if this conversation stretches, Rohit will make her feel week and convince her to stay back . She had decided to make every move to indicate that she cannot live with him anymore . Little did she know that Rohit had woken up before her and seen exactly what she had done .

Rohit : Divorce lene se sab khatam ho jaayega ? ...really ?

Sonakshi : Khatam hone ke liye kya hai ? .....Ab kuch bachaa hi nahi hai .

Just as she tries to get up , Rohit holds her hand and makes her sit . 

Rohit : Kya hua hai tumhe . . Sona !! Meri Sona toh aisi kabhi nahi thi....

Mera Rohit bhi aisa kabhi nahin tha. Itna sab kuch kyu Rohit? . . Tumhe sach mein lagta hai ki sab kuch thik ho jaayega?.... .  Woh taane jyo roz tumhaare parivar ne mujhe diye , woh bezzatti jo tumne mere kaam ke jagah ki. . Jo maine sambaal li.  

Woh bracelet ka todna aur ghai mein phekna..... she gets teary eyed here . . 

Kuch thik karne layak hai kya humaare beech ? Sab kuch toh bhikraa pada hai . . Aur mujhe patience nahi hai ki main in bikhare hue tukdo ko zindagi bar baitke jodti rahuu. Mujhe meri zindagi jeeni hai .....

Rohit : Mere bina ? ....... feeling emotional ....

Sonakshi : Haan ....Tumhaare bina !! 

Just then little Rehaan comes up running .....Palii didi......Good morning ....and hugs her . 

Sonakshi : Good morning ..... Kaha Gaye the tum raat ko ?

Rehaan : Maa ke paas sone . . aap mere dost se baat kar rahe ho ?

Sonakshi smiles : Haan ....Pucho tumbare dost se ? Looking at Rohit.

Rehaan looks at Rohit as he opens his arms for Rehaan. Rehaan goes and hugs him . . . Tumhaari Palii didi bahut ziddi hai . . Pata hai ? They both look at Sonakshi . . Pucho unse ki woh kya nahi de rahi hai mujhe  ?

Rehaan goes towards Sonakshi on the bed , sits on his knees and looks at her intensely  . Maa kehti hai ki fizul ki zidd nahi Kalni chaahiye..... Usse kuch nahi milta.....Looks at Rohit ....Hain naa dost ?

Rohit nods looking at Sonakshi naughtily.  Wohi toh main keh raha hoon par aapki palii didi sun hi nahi rahi hai . Ek huggy hi toh mangi thi na maine .... Sonakshi is shocked to see Rohit in a fun mode. 

Rehaan looks at Rohit and then Sonakshi making her feel awkward. 

De do naa. . Isme kyu zidd kal lahe ho ?

Sonakshi gives Rohit an angry look . . as she comes ahead and hugs Rohit one more time . This time he holds her close and gives her a kiss on her head without any hesitation .

Rehaan claps in happiness and goes and hugs both of them .

Things had begun to look difficult for Sonakshi . She knew if Rohit decides on something it would be very difficult to get his mind off it. On the other hand Rohit had already decided.

They had the whole day together with Rehaan and Rohit was going to make full use of it .
