OS - THROUGH SUNSHINES AND RAINS

Two people sat huddled up in the bed,eyes downcast as they obediently listened to the person standing in front of them.Naniji had a stern look on her face seeing her two grandchildren sneezing at marathonal speed one after the other.Her concern clearly viable in her anger as she scowled at them.

"I didn't expect this from you Chotey.Getting wet in rain,in this weather.Were you out of your mind?.You should have stopped Khushi bitiya instead of becoming party to it.Now,both of you stay put in bed,Neither of you is going to work today".

Arnav handed over the medicines to Khushi which she swallowed wordlessly and he made a dash towards the washroom.Khushi saw his retreating back feeling awful for landing them in it.Only if she hadn't made him eat icecream last night ,only if they hadn't gotten wet in the rain last night.

She tiptoed out of the room,careful not to make a noise.Entering the kitchen,she found Naniji most probably cooking something for them by the looks of it. Khushi hugged her tight whispering "SORRY" going on to make the herbal medicine for her husband.

Naniji shook her head.On one hand was her ever responsible Chotey who now did things,she would had never even imagined him doing .Was,he the same boy who despised getting wet since his childhood.

On the other side,it was Khushi.Such a sensible girl and getting themselves engaged in stuff like small children.Her observant eyes has never failed to notice they both were completely different persons when they were with each other.

They loved each other and love does makes you crazy.She shuffled a laugh as she remembered her own experiences with her husband.The only man she has loved with all her being.Blessing them in her heart,she touched Khushi's cheek fondly towards her bedroom.An ardent need to relive her own blissful memories making it to the fore.

Khushi added the last dose of herbs and stirred the concoction.Arnav couldn't take the antibiotics as it disrupted his sugar levels,leaving no option but to have this bitter drink which he so despised.

Remembering the time when she had made him have it the very first time.He had lost his voice and had troubled her gravely that day.If that wasn't enough,he has blatantly lied by continuing the charade of non speaking because he didn't want her to savour the credit for his well being.

Well that was what he has told her that day,Whereas in reality he had secretly reveled seeing her fuss over him.The confession she has smartly cajoled out of him later,basking in the knowledge that her husband loved being dependent on her.

Khushi entered the room and Arnav who was sitting on the bed,leaning on the headboard opened his eyes sensing her presence.The smile that graced his lips instantly turned into a sour face seeing the drink in her hands.But Khushi didn't even give him a chance to protest,as she went near him,plucked his nose and emptied the entire drink down his throat in one go.

Arnav coughed hoarsily and the guilt already se as she patted his back.Her eyes glistened she let out in a choked voice.

"I am sorry Arnavji,its all my fault.I shouldn't have acted so careless last night.Its due to me that we both are sick".

What was he going to do with her?.That was the first thought that crossed his mind hearing her apologise.She herself was forgetting what she had taught him and last night has been one of a kind,he mused to himself.The night still fresh in his mind.

Last night after the dinner,they both have went for a long drive.It has always acted as a stress buster for him but driving at fast pace now was a thing of past.If he was mindful of Khushi's fear for speeding cars before ,he had come to realise he didn't missed it either.

All he needed was Khushi besides him as they drove aimlessly on the traffic free roads.Their fingers entwined accompanied with Khushi s singing .He loved hearing her sing but then he loved every little thing about her.

Khushi has exclaimed in excitement spotting an ice cream parlour which has made him stop the car right there out of concern.Seeing the object that has bought such an reaction from her,the look that followed clearly spelled "Unbelievable".

But Khushi being herself had gone on gushing about the mind boggling experience of having an icecream in chilly weather.He had tried to reason but when has logic and his wife gone hand in hand as he has found himself standing in the ice cream parlour where his wife was busy chosing what flavour to eat.

She returned with two cups in her hand more than pleased of having found sugarfree icecream for him.It didn't matter how much she thrived on sweet tooth,his wife had one clear cut rule for herself.If he couldn't eat then she wouldn't eat too. not giving in to any of her.

He was glad that parlour had sugar free icecreams because he never wanted Khushi to be bereft off any of her wishes nomatter how huge or small they were.

Sitting in the open seating area, eating their respective icecreams while Khushi fed him a spoonful from hers too saying "Thoda Chalega" and he had wiped off the drop that lingered on her lips tenderly with his handkerchief,,her face illuminating in the moonlight,he has found himself falling in little more love with her.

The drive back home was as exhilarating and by the time they reached home,the drizzling had already started.Instead of going to the room,she has got hold of his hand ushering him towards the terrace,her intentions clearly visible in the spring of her step.Since everyone else was already fast asleep,their little stint hadn't come to anyone's notice.

He was about to downright refuse noticing the weather that had turned cooler but the voice in his heart overruled it.Khushi had taught him to live in the moment without fearing what tomorrow may bring.

At that moment all that had mattered was the unadulterated joy and the feeling of unleashment that flowed around them.He unlatched the door,picking her swiftly in his arms as they stepped in the terrace getting fully drenched in rain.

He twirled her around as they laughed their hearts out.They splashed water on each other,relishing the feel of rain drops on their skin taking in the aroma of wet mud.Their arms came around each other as they moved slowly synchronized hearing the rhytmmic beating of their heartbeats everything else fading into oblivion .

They both have woken up to mirthless sneezing and cough as aftereffects .He hadn't even given a thought about it and here his wife was feeling guilty.She was so adorable and innocent,no doubt his protective instincts were always on a roll when it comes to her.

Though right now,he needed to get something in her tiny head as he asked her.

"Khushi,you sure,you didn't hit your head somewhere ?".

Seeing her bewildered expressions,he continued.

"Wasn't you the one who taught me to find happiness in every little thing and here you are apologising jeoparding all the beautiful memories of last night".

Pressing a loving kiss on her forehead,he wiped away her tears and said in the softest of whispers.

"It may not have been the most sanest thing to do but does it matter.Don't you think we have already spent quite a few years being all cautious and heedful.Its with each other we can be our carefree self.Right?.

His words did the trick as the smile returned to her face.She nodded earnestly,the underlying meaning of his words dawning on her in full impact.

Her heart overflowing with happiness and warmth as she thanked her DeviMaiyya the millionth time.For having found someone with whom she never needed to watch herself.

She could be the silliest,craziest and wierdiest woman on this planet and still feel like the most amazing person that ever existed because she was loved by the man beyond whom everything else ceased to exist.

Arnav moved closer whispering huskily in her ears.

"Besides,I like the idea of falling sick together".

Khushi blushed the deepest shade of red hearing the teasing glint in his voice.She steadied herself in time ,before her devil of a husband got any other ideas.Picking up the remote,she announced.

"Lets watch a movie".

More than the movie Mr Arnav Singh Raizada was busy watching his wife.His eyes fixated on her as her face mirrored the myriad of emotions according to the scene being played on screen.

The song played in the background as they both looked at each other at the same time and the moment freezed.As they were transported back to the time when they have crossed a major threshold in their journey of love.

"Teri Meri,Meri Teri, Prem Kahani Hai Mushkil,Do Lavsoin Mein Yeh Bayaan Naa Ho Paaye,

Har Ehsaas Mein Tu Hai,Har Ek Yaad Mein Tera Afsana,Do Lavsoin Mein Yeh Bayaan Naa Ho Paaye"

The song ended bringing them out of their trance.Khushi scooted closer to him,cupping his dear face in her palms and spoke slowly,her every word laced with love.

"I have lost the sense of time and place that night.It was as if you have created a spell around me.All I could see and feel around me was you.When,I have stood there all alone having no idea what to do under the scrutiny of a bunch of people.You have stepped ahead and danced with me".

It was her heart speaking expressing all those emotions she has felt at that time.

"You could have won easily that day making me do anything,you wished.But,you didn't.You chose to lose for ME.I couldn't fandom the reason then but my heart has known all along ". You cannot bear the sight of my tears".Khushi finished with conviction.

"NEVER".He reaffirmed .

"You had me that day Khushi.I was smitten by you".He confessed smiling sheepishly.

"Ofcourse,how can I forget.That was the first time,you have praised me wordly".She said feigning anger.

"Wordly?".Arnav queried.

"Yes,Mr Raizada because before that it were your eyes that always did the talking.Nomatter how hard you tried,your eyes always let out your true emotions.And I could clearly see the adulation and adoration that existed only for me in these eyes". Khushi signified brushing away the hairs on his forehead.

He held her hand and spoke while kissing her fingers intermittently.

"It was a day of revelation for both of us.I realised how impeccably you trusted me that day.There wasn't an ounce of hesitation or fear in your stance.You let me lead you trusting me to keep you safe.

"And you have only solidified that trust with each passing day.Keeping me safe and blissfully happy".Khushi repeated the words she has told him million times before as she sought herself in the cocoon of his arms.

"Always".He vowed hugging her closer to his heart where she rightfully belonged.

"Being Sick and yet holding hands

It's a feeling that those in love can only comprehend

Through the brightest days and rainy nights

When the destination seems afar and storm arises

Ill hold you tight as we make our way

Towards the sunrise"
