Damini was already too tired because of the running around today. Things hadn't been going too well in their lives lately. Her strained relationship with Prithvi was doing her no good and then her mother's untimely death had shaken her up and the realization that she was to shoulder the responsibilities of her family and the business alone only aggrieved her further. It went without saying that however bad things between her and Prithvi were, he would always be there for her. It was just that Damini wanted him to say it out loud. She wanted him to tell her that he was always there for her. She wanted him to tell her that he would take care of the business and she should take care of the house, their home. Not that she couldn't handle business alone rather she was the one who had helped her mother to build the Gujral empire but it was just that she wanted to feel his assurance, his promise, his love...
She sighed and dragged herself to the music room. Prithvi wanted to meet her. He'd called her here, probably because this part of the house was rarely frequented by anyone. But he wasn't there yet. She walked around, checked the CD's and waited for Prithvi. She spotted a door which opened to a beautiful terrace garden. The weather was cool with a soft breeze blowing. She leaned against the parapet enjoying the weather and waiting for Prithvi.
Prithvi walked into the music room but Damini wasn't present. He saw the door to the garden ajar and walked in. He saw her leaning against the parapet and enjoying the weather but nonetheless, he could see the lines of worry on her face. Her hair was rolled up. He knew she liked her hair loose but only when she wasn't at ease, was disturbed, did she roll it up.
"Enjoying the weather?" Prithvi walked in and handed her a mug.
"Yeah," she replied and thanked him for the mug. "I'm too tired."
"Well, the contents of that mug should help alleviate your tiredness."
"Hmm... Smells delicious."
They made themselves comfortable on the grass under the luminescent sky and sat drinking a sinfully delicious concoction of coffee, chocolate and cream which heightened Damini's spirits and killed her stress.
The weather turned cooler still and to their surprise an unexpected and unseasonal shower rained down. Damini was delighted. In her delight, she sprang up from her place and opening her arms wide, swirled in the rain enjoying the kiss of the raindrops against her face and body. Prithvi was surprised. She made a beautiful sight dancing out there in the rain. She beckoned him to join her but he refused. When she asked him again an idea struck him. He nodded in the positive and disappeared in the room and moments later music filled the garden drifting from the room. Damini was surprised. Prithvi approached her and offered his hand. Damini's heartbeat suddenly was racing.
No! Not now Damini, not now... You have important matters to talk.
Damini knew she should refuse, her brain told her so. Instead, one look at those piercing brown eyes, those strong shoulders, those locks of dark hair getting rapidly soaked with rain, that heart-warming smile and she felt she had no right to refuse him. Before she could stop herself she found herself taking his hand. He placed his one hand on her shoulder and the other on her waist and they began swaying gently with the music. Prithvi pulled away the clip holding her hair and the roll came tumbling down in waves.
Tumhi ehsaason mein…tumhi jazbaaton mein…
Tumhi lamhaaton mein…tumhi din raaton mein…Prithvi's eyes found Damini's and she found them full of intense love and fixated on hers. Her heart fluttered.
Bakhuda… tumhi ho, Har jagah, tumhi ho…
haan main dekhun jahaan jab…uss jagah… tumhi ho…Prithvi twirled her around on his finger and away from him and then again pulled her back ever so swiftly and gently to land in his arms. She was delirious due to his natural fragrance.
ye jahaan… tumhi ho, wo jahaan… tumhi ho…
iss zameen se falak ke…darmiyaan… tumhi ho…
They swayed together in each other's arms, unaware of time or their surroundings. They forgot everything but themselves. All the issues took a backseat and only Prithvi was what Damini was aware of.
tum hi ho… beshubaa….tum hi ho…
tum hi ho…. mujhmein haan....tum hi ho….
tum hi ho…tum hi ho…Prithvi spun her around in one regal turn and dipped her low, brought her back-up, turned again. She was mesmerized when she turned into his arms and placed her hand on his shoulder again.
kaise bataayein tumhe…aur kis tarah … ye…
kitna tumhe hum, chahte hain…
sayaan bhi tera dikhe…to paas jake…
uss mein simat hum jaate hain…A wet strand of hair fell on Damini's face. Prithvi tucked it behind her ear, his fingertips gently brushing her skin. The touch sent a sensation through every nerve in her body.
raasta… tumhi ho, rehnuma… tumhi ho…
jiski khwaahish hai humko…wo panaah tumhi ho…
tum hi ho… beshubaa….tum hi ho…
tum hi ho…. mujhmein haan...tum hi ho….He buried his head in her silken hair inhaling the floral fragrance as they continued to sway. The rain poured down on the two souls lost in paradise drencing them not with its wet droplets but their own love.
tumhi ehsaason mein…tumhi jazbaaton mein…
tumhi lamhaaton mein…tumhi din raaton mein…Their bodies touched, swayed apart and then touched again as the music continued to play. They could inhale each other's fragrance whenever they came close and when they drifted apart they would, as though magnetically attracted, come twirling back towards each other.
kaise bataayein tumhe…shabb mein tumhaare…
khwaab haseen jo aate hain…kaise bataayein tumhe…
lafz wo saare…jism ko jo mehkaate hain…Damini and Prithvi's eyes were glued to each other with a mesmerizing captivity. Damini was totally oblivious to the fact that her heartbeat was galloping. She was too dazed by Prithvi's presence to realise anything.
iftidaar… tumhi ho, intehaan… tum hi ho…
tum ho jeene ka maqsad…aur wajah tumhi ho…
Bakhuda… tumhi ho, Har jagah, tumhi ho…
haan main dekhun jahaan jab…uss jagah… tumhi ho…Prithvi twirled her around and swirled her away and brought her back to him. He gently lifted her by the waist, performed a soft and gentle yet regal turn and brought her back to the floor. As she slid down his arms, his fingers on her waist sent delicious tremors within her.
ye jahaan… tumhi ho, wo jahaan… tumhi ho…
iss zameen se falak ke…darmiyaan… tumhi ho…
tum hi ho… beshubaa….tum hi ho…
tum hi ho…. mujhmein haan....tum hi ho….tum hi ho….tum hi ho…As Damini swayed in Prithvi's arms, their bodies barely a hairsbreadth apart, Damini realised up close he was extremely overpowering. She looked up into his eyes. The lamplight in the garden illuminated his strong features and sinfully sensuous mouth. He dipped his head, and her heart skipped a beat and before she knew it, their lips met and an inexplicably delicious sensation burst through every vein in their bodies. Prithvi's hands were wrapped around her waist and Damini unknowingly locked her hands around his neck. She felt weak-kneed and dazed. It was a kiss of sweetness, a kiss of tenderness, yet one which very well conveyed their innermost feelings and desires.
The moon and the stars shone brightly upon them, the stars glittered in the blue and black night. The clouds were still pouring when suddenly lightning slashed the skies, accompanied simultaneously by a clap of thunder so loud it shattered a beautiful dream and brought Prithvi and Damini crashing back to reality. They broke the kiss and Damini was left astounded as to what she'd done. She just stared at Prithvi for a moment.
"Prithvi..."
He silenced her by placing his finger on her lips and rested his forehead against hers.
"No Damini, nothing and no one, it's just us tonight."
Damini couldn't believe her ears. She leaned on his chest inhaling his masculine fragrance.
"Business, relations, other issues, everything can be dealt with later, not tonight. I want to live this moment with you," he whispered hoarsely.
Prithvi kissed her collarbone and Damini took in a sharp breath. She felt tingles down her spine. He gently kissed the hollow of her throat and Damini moaned with pleasure. She kissed him behind his ear and gently bit his earlobe. Prithvi loved his wife's boldness. He was glad that she wanted to give their relationship a chance. He rested his forehead against hers and gently caressed her lips. Damini felt the touch whisper through her blood. She cupped his face in her hands and oh-so-sensuously kissed his jawline.
"I love you, Prithvi," she murmured against his cheek.
"I love you too, sweetheart," he replied and captured her lips with his yet again and this time Damini could have sworn she saw vapour rising in the air around her. The passion and intensity of the kiss was unmatched. The air went cooler still but Damini was oblivious to it because she was enveloped in the warmth of her husband's arms. A man who loved her beyond the boundaries of this world. The comfort of his arms ensured her that come what may, he would always be with her through the ups and downs of life.
