Part 9
"will you Prachi, please answer me." Prachi was still in shocked, she could not make out what Milind was talking. "Milind, could me explain why are you asking me to forgive you. I don't find anything that makes you feel guilty before me." He looks away from her , but she forcefully makes him to look towards. "Milind I don't know the reasons which led to our marriage, but I can tell you that I can trust you. I don't know why I trust more I trust myself. I think you didn't make any mistake to feel guilty and ask for forgiveness." Milind was taken aback with this. He was feeling more guilty than before. "Prachi, the reasons…………….", Prachi stops him from talking further by placing her hand on his mouth. "Milind please just forget about this." "No Prachi let me talk, let me allow to talk today." "Milind I saw you never feeling guilty like this ever before. But what had happened to you so suddenly." Prachi was still not able make out why Milind was so restless. "because…………"he pauses and shuts his eyes forcefully. He slowly opens them and sees her still sitting there. He cups her face in his palms. "because I don't want to loose you Prachi, and because I love you. The last month, when we were not talking, I used to simply die to hear you. It's true that I ignored you badly but it hurted me more badly than you. Till today I could never imagine that I would confess my love to like this." He suddenly lifts is head and sees Prachi sitting dumbstruck. "I'm sorry, Prachi I should know, how would you react to this sudden confession. It's your choice Prachi, if you want,we can get separated. I don't want to force you on anything." He removes his hands from her face, stands and was about to leave the room. But something prevented from moving further. He turns and finds that Prachi had caught his hand in hers, but her eyes were staring at the ground. "milind you know one thing……………", she continues still her eyes on the ground. "you trust someone whom you love. I already told you that I trust more than myself. I cried when you ignored me. I don't know the reasons why you hate my father very much. In that party we fought, but we shouldn't have, it was so silly. That one I realized only after our marriage. it was my mistake for ignoring you without any reasons. I always waited for you to speak up first but I didn't make any attempts to speak to you." milind, who till then was staring at her, still standing there, sits beside her on the bed. Turns her face towards him, wipes her tears and kisses on her forhead. Prachi could not take this, hugs Milind tightly. He also puts his hand around her waist and carress her hair. Prachi suddenly breaks the hug, "sorry", she mutters in loud whisper and tries to run from there. But Milind pulls her back and kisses her passionately. "Prachiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii", they breaks from their kiss hearing someone shouting from down. Prachi was about to run from there after breaking their kiss. But Milind again pulls her back. "prachi, never again don't tell me sorry. Because you need not to be sorry for anything. Whatever you told, it's from your heart. So don't be sorry." He places a kiss on her forhead and both of them leaves and the room and goes down. "uffffffffffff, after shouting for a long time you found time to come down. I thought my voice box was on the verge of breaking down. So what were you both during there up for past one hour." Milind gazes Ayesha angrily, who was anxious to know what was happening there up. "do you have little shame or what,huh. We have our own problem to discuss, it's between me and Prachi. Don't poke your nose in this matters." Prachi made her way towards Alaap and hugs him happily. At first Alaap did not understand for Prachi's sudden happiness and spark in her face. But later, when he saw both Milind and Prachi, blushing when they were taking glances of each other, he could understand what would have happened up there in the room. A small curve of smile appears on his face, thinking that everything was fine with them. But he didn't understand whether, Milind had told the truth or not. He decided to talk with him later on that matter as he thought it was not the right time, but anyhow he was very happy for both of them.
He woke from the sleep, after an hour or so. He looks at his watch. It was already time for his afternoon stroll in the garden. But that day he was in no mood to go to the garden. He gets up from the chair and goes to his study. He picks from the phone and dials some number. After waiting for a long time for that to be finally answered, at last it was answered. "eye on M, don't reveal 20% to him. Pass the info to me." He finally disconnects the phone after speaking to some one in codes. He goes back to his rocking chair and starts reading the newspapers while sipping the hot tea, bit relaxed than before.

Ayesha, Prachi and Sukruthi together started to prepare lunch for the afternoon. The guys seated themselves in front of the IPL 20-20 match that was going in between Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers. Everyone sitting there were enjoying, but Milind was not at all interested that day in that match. He constantly kept looking towards the kitchen, he just wanted to spend time with his new found love. But he couldn't do that with everyone around them. He cursed Ayesha, for coming to their house that day, bring her gang behind her. He knew that no one would leave unless the third match for that day was over which would go till 11:15 in the night. (actually I and my father fought badly, during last year's IPL matches, as I was missing kayamath at that time. Really could not forget the day). When the lunch was finally ready, they preferred to eat it in the living hall, as no one were not wanting to miss a single ball of the match. Sukruthi sat beside Saket, squeezing Neev to the other corner. Not finding place anywhere and finding an empty place beside Milind, Prachi at first hesitated but Milind blinks at her smiling at her. Prachi sits down and starts serving Milind with the food. She found something squeezing her. She turns to finds out that that Ayesha was adjusting there in the sofa where they both already sat comfortably and there was no place for the third person. "Ayesha why can't you get your self a chair from the dining hall." Tells prachi with pleading voice. "why does that lazy bones will get that ,someone should get her the chair." Milind grins at Ayesha. Ayesha angrily hits Milind making the plate in Prachi's hand to jerk and making the curry to fall on Prachi's saree. "ouch! What have you done with my saree, you both spoiled it." She excuses herself and goes upstairs for changing it, as she thought the strain would some dry wash. Milind felt bad for spoiling her saree, immediately after she left the place. Moments later, he also excuses himself, and goes upstairs on the pretext for forgetting his wallet. He reaches upstairs, but stops at the entrance of the room and leans to the door, with his hands folded. He sees Prachi adjusting her pallu. He slowly goes inside and hugs her from the back. She jerks and turns back, struggling to free herself. "Milind , I think we need some time for this." "what!........." "Milind, I meant all are waiting for us down, so………you know what I meant." She lowers her gaze. Milind frees her from the hug, "ok, I'll wait till they are gone. Do you have any idea at what time they will be leaving?' "Ayesha was telling that they were going to stay here for today night." "hmmmmmmmmmmm then I should think about this." "what, Milind suddenly………….", "not so suddenly. If you wish that we need sometime for all this, ok then I'll wait then. What say Prachi." "Milind I….. didn't mean that.' She was about go, but Milind pulls her into the hug. "before we go down, I have something to say", "what", Prachi asks surprisingly. He bends forward and places a kiss on her lips, but she moves away from him. "what!" "nothing, you are so naughty Milind", she laughs at him and goes down. Milind laughing back follows her down.
