The Dancing Tale

Chapter 27

My stay in my hometown went well. I didn't know I was homesick untill I arrived here and spend some quality time with my family. Aunty and uncle were happy to have me back at home. They always told me on calls that the house never felt same without me. I went to see my father too and spend a day in the city and the house  where I was born and then came back to my uncle's home which felt more like home to me. My brother too came home for holidays and we all went on a car trip for 2 days.

My heart felt full yet empty at the same time. I was missing rudra so badly. The 1st day was worse when I didn't get to see his face, no car rides nothing . I instantly called him after waking up. His voice was raspy because of sleep. I felt bad for waking him up because he slept around 3 am and I called him up at 7 am but he didn't mind as he got to listen my angelic voice.

His words. Not Mine.

With my family being around I wasn't able to talk so much to him in the day and at night too me and my brother used to sit and talk till late at 1 am and just annoy each other for fun. That made my and rudra's conversation even more short than before but he assured me that I didn't have to worry about any of it. He told me to enjoy my stay and take lots of rest as we don't have any college work to do to keep us up at night for days. His concerned warmed my heart but I made sure to talk with him after my brother went to sleep. We talked till one of us fall asleep. Mostly it was me but I slept with a smile on my face and his voice echoing in my ears.

When it was time to say goodbye to my folks and board for Delhi, I was again an emotional mess. In the whole journey I was not able to sleep but rudra kept me company on call and we talked the whole way only falling asleep for an hour or two . He comforted me over call but I was terribly missing his arms around me. I was eagerly waiting for the train to arrive station.

He was there on station to pick me up. I threw my arms around him instantly when I was out of the train and put my luggage on floor. I practically launched myself on him and he like always caught me in his strong arms. These 7 days felt like 7 months without him. As cheesy as it sounds but it was the truth. His arms wrapped around me and I felt the sense of being back to home and back to my safe heaven. His warmth lifted my mood up. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

No words were needed for me to know how much he missed me because his eyes were doing all the talking and I heard them clear and precisely. I wanted to kiss him.

Screw that.

I needed to kiss him but we were totally aware of the people around us who will feel offended by our gesture of love. Hence I controlled myself and we made our way to home. In the whole car ride I talked and talked about the things I did in past few days while he was listening me with a smile.

"Complete." he mumbled.

"Huh." I questioned once I was out of the car and stepped in the front yard.

He rounded the car and got my luggage out and walked to me. We walked to the main entrance of house. “I finally feel complete. With you here. A part of my heart was missing and now it came back.” He kissed my cheek. My heart soared in love for him and I smiled. “You go and say hi to my parents. I will put your bag in your room and wait for you there.” I nodded and he started climbing the stairs and I made my way inside the house to greet aunty and uncle. They were both sipping tea when I entered. I hugged them and sat for a little to talk. She offered me to have breakfast but I denied and said I need to get some sleep as I was tired.

Which was half  true.

I was tired but I wanted to just be with rudra at that time who was waiting for me in my room. I climbed the stairs as fast as I could and opened the door of my room and found him making hot chocolates for us in kitchen. I closed the door and stood with my back leaned against it while I just looked at him trying to soaking him as much as can. He smiled at me from behind the counter and beckoned me to join him there.
