"Marriage By Consent"
Part 2
Keeping my right hand on my heaving chest, I attempted to calm the irregular heartbeatā¦ Yeah sureā¦ Suddenly realizing my position, I opened my eyes to see the sluggish smile on vaguely familiar lipsā¦ slowly, the entirety of the strong features came into focusā¦ His arms were crossed over his chest (thankfully bearing the brown I had earlier discarded), as he stood leisurely against the support of the bedā¦ Goshā¦ maine kabhi nahin socha tah ke main aise kahoongiā¦ aur wohe bhi itni jaldiā¦ But boy! Am I ever glad to see youā¦ Of course, baaki ki baad mein dekhi jaayegi! (Goshā¦ I never thought I'd be saying thisā¦ and that too, this soonā¦ But boy! Am I ever glad to see youā¦ Of course, we'll see to the rest later!). With that thought in mind, I allowed a momentary rush of relief swipe my sensesā¦ and it certainly didā¦ as I felt my feet stride urgently towards himā¦ and I took hold of his armā¦ mumbling somethingā¦ incoherentlyā¦ I guess it's the reliefā¦ or more likeā¦ the panicā¦ If anything, I knew that duffer would soon be at my doorā¦ No matter where I go, wahin pe aake tapak padta haiā¦ulu ka patah! (No matter where I go, he comes waging his tailā¦ idiot!) I thought frustrated. Suddenly, my panic-stricken thoughts were penetrated through as his hazel eyes melted into meā¦ I meanā¦ He stared at meā¦ amusedā¦ The smile still on his lipsā¦ Langoor!! Soorā¦ uffā¦ Yahan meri jaan pe ban ayi hai, and this idiot is smiling like no tomorrowā¦Menā¦ I tell you! (Fool!! Pigā¦ Its come to my deathbed and this idiot is smiling like no tomorrowā¦ Menā¦ I tell you!). Removing my fingers which had by now left some sort of imprints on his armā¦ I took a step back and whispered hurriedly, "Dekhoā¦ uhā¦" (Lookā¦ uhā¦) I looked on franticallyā¦ my eyes darted around the roomā¦ Ab itney bade Bandar ko mein kahan chupaoon?! (Now where do I hide such a tall monkey?!). I thought irritatedā¦ Finally, I saw the door to the far endā¦ slightly ajar from my exit stillā¦ or I so presumeā¦ Quickly, I tried turning him towards the door, whilst instructing him to keep his mouth zipped and not to make any noiseā¦
"Knock knock"ā¦ Both of us stopped mid-step and turned our heads to look at the source of the noiseā¦ and then at each otherā¦ Frenzied, I virtually pushed him into the bathroom and shut the door on his slightly confused face. Deep breathā¦ Running a quick hand through my hair, I took another reassuring breath, relishing the oxygen, and smiled to myself before heading towards the doorā¦ With my best-composed look (considering the situation) I tilted my head slightly as the door openedā¦ and gave a phoney smile at the promising intruder. "Nihaalā¦ tum yahan?" (Nihaalā¦ you here?) I asked in an almost too-sugary voiceā¦ Quickly, I allowed him the pleasure of coming inā¦ much to my discontentā¦ but that's a whole different issue now isn't itā¦ Deep smileā¦ I could feel my heart flutter anxiously as my eyes shifted nervously towards the closed doorā¦ the soft patter of water ringing in my headā¦ "Maithaliā¦ Main toh yahan kaam ke silsiley mein aya hoonā¦ Dad ne bhejaā¦ lekin tum?" (Maithaliā¦ I came here for workā¦ Dad sent meā¦ but you?). Tum se matlab (And what's that to youā¦)ā¦ I thought irritatedā¦ but of course my loyal voice betrayed my thoughtsā¦ "Main yahan doston ke saath ayi teehā¦ Woheā¦ Bas aise hiā¦ Kaam bhi taah aurā¦" (I came here with friendsā¦ Umā¦ Just becauseā¦ I had work to andā¦)ā¦ I ended it with a smile and my innards churned seeing his features twist in contemplation of my explanation. It's true of courseā¦ I amā¦ or wasā¦ I should say, here with friends and I did have workā¦
I could feel the dupatta slide slowly off the top of my head, where I had unknowingly placed it againā¦ At the same time, the small beads of perspiration prickled at my foreheadā¦ Mujhe itni bechaini kyun ho rahi hai? (Why am I so anxious?) I wondered stupidlyā¦ An awkward silence ensued in the spacious interiorā¦ I felt my entwined fingers hold each other more tightlyā¦ Surely, they were as pale as a sheet of paperā¦ Unable to take it anymore, I opened my mouthā¦ when the duffer beat me to it, "Maithaliā¦ ye awaz kaisi?" (Maithaliā¦ what is that noise?). The colour slowly retreated from my faceā¦ Hai rabbaā¦ I lifted my hand in a gesture of explainingā¦ but could only manage an inaudible mumbleā¦ Kya museebat hai! (What a nuisance!) Coughing, I opened my mouth once moreā¦ just as the door to the bathroom flipped openā¦ demanding immediate attention. I felt as though the world suddenly came crashing downā¦ for the second time that dayā¦ My limbs went into an immobility phase as I looked at my so-called husband stride towards the direction of the armoireā¦ his hands lost amidst the white and black of the towel and his hairā¦ A single towel covered his lower half, while his torso remained perilously unconcealedā¦ Somehow, my gaze managed to find Nihaal'sā¦ Nihaal, is a very expressive guyā¦ and right now, his eyesā¦ were tellingā¦ or rather askingā¦ me the obviousā¦ I wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't conformā¦ Suddenly, he looked upā¦ as though "sensing" another presence in the room. Pulling out a black top, he came casually forthā¦ I pushed deeper into the dead end of the sofa seat, as he sat on it's armā¦ smilingā¦ Is it possible to go into deeper stages of paralysis? As his lips left a light peck on the side of my head, my eyes went wide in a mixture of horror and disbeliefā¦ The place his lips barely touchedā¦ now tingled with a reminiscing glintā¦ Extending a hand towards the other man, he spoke with such easeā¦ "Hiā¦You must be Nihaalā¦ My wife said something of youā¦" HAI RABBAā¦ Yeā¦ I looked at Nihaalā¦ a small smile slowly formed on my lipsā¦ "Woheā¦ uhā¦ Nihaalā¦ yeā¦ haiā¦ Viā¦ Vikramā¦" Where did that come from?ā¦ and what was the rest?ā¦ As if reading my mind he finished, "Adityaā¦ Vikram-Aditya Mehraā¦" completing with a wink of the eye. I looked at him disgustedā¦
Silent curses escaped my lips as I prepared myselfā¦ When it hit meā¦ The smallness of my smile gently flowed into a deeper endā¦ Taking hold of his arm, I looked at him with a devilish smile and then at Nihaalā¦ "Nihaalā¦ Joh tum soch rahe hoā¦ wohe sach haiā¦" (Nihaalā¦ what you are thinkingā¦ is trueā¦)ā¦ I paused, savouring the taste of his choking expressionsā¦ I felt guilty, reallyā¦ But what do you do when someone is unrelentingly after you (literally!) and your mother wholly approves but only you know how much of a geekā¦ ahemā¦ I mean, he's a nice guy and allā¦ butā¦ "Maine shaadi kar liā¦" (I have gotten marriedā¦)ā¦ The words resounded in the airā¦ reverberating against the wallsā¦ as my heart beat against the chamber of my rib cageā¦ Maine shaadi kar liā¦ Suddenly, the little girl's dream flashed quickly before my eyesā¦ and then my familyā¦ Manthanā¦ "Maithaliā¦" startled, I looked up at Nihaal with misty eyesā¦ Shaking away the thoughts, I came back to my presentā¦ "Hum donoā¦ mera matlab haiā¦ Humney bhaag kar shaadi kar liā¦ Main jaanti hoonā¦ Mammaā¦ Papaā¦ sab kya sochengeā¦ Lekinā¦ wohe chahte tehe ke mainā¦ kahin aur shaadi karoonā¦ aurā¦" (We bothā¦ I meanā¦ We elopedā¦ I knowā¦ Mammaā¦ Papaā¦ what they'll all thinkā¦ Butā¦ they wantedā¦ that I marry elsewhereā¦ andā¦)ā¦ I'm sorry Nihaalā¦ I thought enjoying the bewildered expression on his face, the guilt overridden by the sense of finally overcoming the constant feeling of being under surveillance. I sighed inwardly at the thought of freedom from my mother's I-want-him-as-my-son-in-law. Sure, I have this pigā¦ but meh, that I'll deal withā¦ somehowā¦ Hai rabbaā¦ kahan phas gayi main! (Oh Godā¦ where have I gotten stuck!) I thought suddenly realizing the implication of thisā¦ Almost immediately, my hands fell from his armā¦ and I threw him an apprehensive glance. He smiled. My stomach was ready to turn overā¦ butā¦ he smiled. And strange as it may seemā¦ I smiled backā¦ not a strained smileā¦ but genuinelyā¦ I suppose it was the authenticity of hisā¦ and maybeā¦ this would work after allā¦ The distinct ring of Nihaal's cell broke my unsure thoughts and I looked at the poor manā¦ He looked so disturbed, crestfallenā¦ I felt so badā¦ but it was unbearable either wayā¦ Interrupting his phone conversation, he quickly mumbled, "Maithaliā¦ mujhe kaam haiā¦ I uhā¦ willā¦ meet you in Mumbai?" (Maithaliā¦ I have some workā¦ I uhā¦ willā¦ meet you in Mumbai?). His lips quivered ever so slightly, and I felt the guilt impinge my sense of comfort again as he got up, and I followed suit with my "husband". Saying something to the caller, Nihaal closed the cell and turned towards meā¦ usā¦ again. A wry smile came on my lips, sympathizing with the fellowā¦ when I felt an arm slip around the base of my waistlineā¦ Startled, I looked at the hand now comfortably resting on my hipā¦ and shifted my gaze towards himā¦ He didn't return my lookā¦ nor looked affected by his behaviourā¦ or anyone's for that matterā¦ It seemed as though nothing was wrongā¦ A flicker of irritancy once again arose within me, but I suppressed it as my eyes once again fell upon a gauche Nihaal. I looked unwillingly at his handsā¦ the gadget barely stable in between trembling fingersā¦ ultimately giving wayā¦ the clear thud of plastic against the rug rang in the otherwise restless silence, filled the air. Picking it up quickly, he gave a nervous chuckle before muttering a good bye and saying some words of courtesy to "my husband", before disappearing out the door.
I stood still for a lurking momentā¦ staring at the closed doorā¦ allowing it all to sink inā¦ An unexpected emotional turmoil began to well up within me once more and I found myself clingingā¦ Hai Rabba! Immediately I let go of himā¦ and pulled myself out of his graspā¦ My heart racedā¦ "Over-acting zaroori hai kya?!" (Is over-acting necessary?!) I demanded with arms crossedā¦ An impish grin played on his lipsā¦ as he moved back onto the bed, lazily stretching himselfā¦ I watched him lay thereā¦ his upper body casually falling over the comforter, while his barely covered legs hung loosely at the endā¦ Besharamā¦ (Shamelessā¦) I thought disgustedlyā¦ Moving my head, I turned to another directionā¦ unaware of my destinationā¦ but it wasn't meant to be anyways. Feeling a tug at my arm, I felt myself unwillingly land on his lapā¦ my arms entangled around his neckā¦ his arms enveloping my beingā¦ Stunnedā¦ I sat motionlessā¦ Slowly, his face crept closer to mineā¦ As his forehead met my own, I swear my heart would leap out at any secondā¦ "Sweetheart, aren't you gladā¦ you're no longerā¦ singleā¦" his warm breath tingled my skin as I closed my eyes momentarilyā¦
Promo: "Pleaseā¦" I looked at her devilish beautyā¦ her razor eyes pleading for a revelationā¦ "Kal raatā¦" I began amusedā¦
Adi's side of the storyā¦
Cheers,
dc
