A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 111

'Hire me, baby! I'm ready to do your show!'

'What? And what about KYPH?'

'Hona hoga to woh bhi sahi..but you..you are serious? Yeh production house and all?'

'Well, it was an investment. Tum nahin to or kayi artists ko moqa milega. I won't be running it actively..just be in the background. But I'd really love it if you do something with it, since yeh sab meri samajh se bahar hai..' She shrugged.

'Oh God! Maine kabhi nahin socha tha, ke tum, mere liye itna bara qadam bhi utha sakti ho..'

Sonakshi held his hand. He entwined his fingers with hers.

'Mein tumhe kho nahin sakti thi, Rohit. Tum ho to Sonakshi bhi hai..'

'God, I missed this confidence in my life, I missed you so damn much.'
He hugged her to him again.

'Acha chalo, ab tum ghar jao. Meri yahan ek meeting hai, phir mujhe hospital bhi jaana hai..'

'Matlab? Tum mere saath nahin chalo gi ghar?'
He sounded a bit apprehensive, with a hint of fear.

'Rohit! Meri sab baaton ke baad bhi tumhe doubt hai?'

'No, no! Bas, ab ek pal bhi duur nahin rehna..'

He lifted her hand and kissed  it.
Sonakshi smiled at him.

'Hmm..tumhara intezar karungi..'

'What?' He looked confused.

'Mujhe lene nahin aaoge?'

Rohit's brow cleared.

'Ohhh! Yes! Ofcourse!'

'Bas, theek hai, ghar pohonch ke bataungi..magar ek shart hai..'

'Shart? Kaisi shart?'

She pointed to his wheelchair, which he had been standing without for the past fifteen twenty minutes.

'Isse chorr ke aana!'

He smiled and nodded.

Settling down in it again, he bid her a goodbye and left.

                   ******

He was late.

Sonakshi tapped her foot impatiently, as she waited with her packed bags.

She had told him of her arrival home, some 2 hours ago.

Her heart lurched as she remembered the last time she had waited for him like this. Just as soon, she jerked the thought away.

Pagal hogayi ho, Sona? Kya sochti rehti ho..

She heard voices downstairs.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Woh agaya! Mera Rohit..mujhe lene agaya..

Sonakshi hurried out of her room, and looked down the balustrade.

Sure enough, Rohit stood there, without any support.

As she watched, Suman and Anil hugged him and brought him to sit inside.

He chatted with them, but his eyes were searching for her.

Their eyes met as he found her. He smiled. Her pulse sky rocketed.

Sonakshi quickly went back inside and got her bags. She controlled herself from running down the stairs and flinging herself straight into his arms.

She felt like a young girl going on a first date with her boyfriend, instead of a wife going back to her husband.

She composed herself as she went down the stairs.
