Chapter 32
Virat pulled her more closer to him as he pushed his face further into her skin, trying to devour her presence and the closeness, this all looks like a fantasy to him, true that he was given enough time to absorb the fact, all those rituals… the importance of each every rituals he carried on with complete devotion, it did give him time to consume the fact but now having her in his arms, in his room… no their room, the right which has been given to him, it all seemed to be a beautiful dream and he was apprehensive about letting sleep engulf him. What if he wakes up alone on the bed the next day too, what if his lonely and incomplete mornings over power his morning yet again… what if this beautiful dream shatters… Will he ever have the chance to dream something like this?
Manvi's neck was starting sting with his stubble pressed onto her skin, she was feeling worried… not because of the stinging feeling but because of the way he was holding her, initially when he held her she was feeling shy… because she realized that they were in the same room and on the same bed as a husband and wife… but now his hold was so tight and possessive that she couldn't comprehend what was running in his mind at that moment,
Manvi slowly moved her hand which was on his shoulder to his hair and started to move her fingers through it, anyone who would see Virat would think that he was strong in and out and nothing could break him, he is strong… she agrees, he has been through a lot in life but he never gave up or went astray, however he had a great weakness in him… That is his fear to lose the person he loves and she knew that there is nothing much she could do about it other than to love him and pray to God to give him the strength to bear the pain if he has to face such a situation in any point of his life… she would never want to see him broken, Manvi sighed as she tried to pull him away from her… she needed to see his face, he obeyed as he raised himself a little and like Manvi expected his eyes were red and solemn but she also could see a different emotion in his deep eyes today and that was satisfaction, she smiled tenderly while caressing his stubble,
Virat closed his eyes whilst he absorbed her touch, he lowered himself a little as he moved his face closer to hers and clasped her lips in a sweet kiss, just another step to make himself believe and accept the reality… the magnificent and breathtaking reality.
They moved away and Manvi felt her eye lids get heavier, she leaned back comfortably, and looked Virat who was resting his head on her chest, he is normally silent but Manvi couldn't bring herself up to say something, so she stayed silent as she let him do whatever he wishes to,
Manvi's eyes drooped as Virat kept on playing with her fingers and her chuda, she was tired and she could not hold herself anymore, Manvi finally gave up to the fatigue after an fruitless requesting session of asking Virat to sleep.
Virat looked up as he sensed her deep breathing, Manvi was in a deep sleep, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and returned back to his previous position as he placed his head on her chest listening to her heartbeat, calm…soothing and rhythmic, he had sensed her heartbeat numerous times earlier but it normally used to be in a high speed, but today the tranquility of her heartbeat and her breathing told him how comfortable she was with him, and he didn't want anything more than that, even his desire to make her his completely seemed unimportant and trivial, he took a deep breath as he narrowed his gaze… she had asked him to find his name which was hidden on her palm, he tried but it was too dark around the room to carry on such a task. He thought of doing it later and hugged her closer to him, he didn't want to sleep.
After few hours…
Manvi blinked her eyes open while trying to clear the haze which was blocking her view, she breathed in deep and saw Virat staring at her adoringly, she gave a lazy smile and moved closer to Virat who was leaning on the headrest, he wrapped his arm around her and she cuddled closer to him,
"Good morning angel," he wished while sorting out her messed hair,
"Good morning…" Manvi replied in a rather groggy voice,
"I found out…" he declared,
"What did you find out?" she asked as she tried to raise her gaze to look at his face,
"My name on your palm," he raised her hand to show her his name which was cleverly mixed up with the pattern,
She smiled but moved away from him suddenly as she realized,
"Don't tell me that you didn't sleep the whole night…" Manvi asked shockingly,
"Why are you getting so hyper?" he asked as he tried to pull her closer to him again, not wanting to stay away from her,
She pushed his hand away while frowning, 'what was she supposed to do with him?' she thought frustratingly, he tired again and Manvi kept on fighting him, not wanting to give in, Manvi smiled as she avoided his grab again, Virat jumped forward and pushed her harshly on the bed as he locked her hands behind her back, she hissed and then laughed giving up,
"Ah… Virat… chodo…" she spoke in between her laughter, he loosened his grip as he leaned in forward, she got the sign on time as she moved her hand in between their lips, he frowned but Manvi ignored it as she thought of a plan,
"Only if you agree to sleep till 8 o'clock… it's six thirty now," she said as she indicated the clock which was placed on the bed side cupboard, he pulled her hand away and tried again but Manvi turned away, she was determined to make him sleep at least for an hour,
"No…" she tried to push him away as he kept on looking at her angrily, Manvi narrowed her eyes as Virat's angry face transformed into an evil expression not completely but little, she knew that he hated to be pushed away but he didn't leave any other option left for her,
"Only if you kiss me…" he shot back and Manvi's eye's widened, then she tried to hide her face, feeling shy to talk about such things with him,
Virat leaned in again as he thought that she has given up but Manvi stopped him yet again, willing to do anything for his health and wellbeing, Virat raised his brows at her but she moved her hands towards his eye's and made him put his eye lids down, he felt her breath on his cheeks first then felt her lips brushing his in the next second, he leaned in further as he embraced her impatiently, he could feel her clutching onto him as he devoured her mouth with his tongue, her sweet yet intoxicating savor making him loose all his control, he was seizing her so tightly that he feared that he would suffocate her… he moved away from her suddenly to make sure that she was okay, but Manvi refused to show him her face as she pressed her face onto the pillow next to her, though she was turning her face away from him he could say that she was fine because of the smile which was adorning her face, he sighed and fell back on his back next to her and then pulled her on top of him,
Manvi gasped and tried to distance herself away from him, he stayed unmoved and Manvi punched his chest lightly,
"Let me sleep Manvi…" he uttered as Manvi relaxed, 'he agreed to rest for sometime at least' she thought,
Manvi felt Virat's body relax and she slowly moved away from him, she had to get dressed, Shiv will be coming over to take her for the pag phere, her parents will be leaving today and they wanted to complete this ritual before they left to Shimla, Anu was returning back too… and she really wants to spend some time before they all leave, only God knows when they'll get a chance like this again,
Manvi rummaged her gaze through the new piles of dresses, she liked all the dresses which her ma chose for her, there were few sarees with a whole lot of suits and Anarkalis, she found it difficult to choose one amongst those, but grabbed a cream and maroon combined suit keeping the limited time she has to get dressed, sari would take too long to wrap around and she was scared of her ability to carry one too, 'she would wear a saree on another day' she decided and entered the bathroom.
Manvi noticed a red patch on her neck while patting herself dry, she went closer to the mirror as she got worried, then remembered their hug last night, it was not hurting but she felt embarrassed to show it to everyone around, she walked out of the bedroom to see Virat sitting on the bed looking around with an annoyed expression, and she was quick enough to recognize the reason of his annoyance,
Virat turned around to see Manvi walking out of the bathroom dressed in a suit looking beautiful as ever, her hair wrapped with a towel and few of the strands falling on her face, leaving traces of water drops on her cheek, she looked up and smiled at him but he was not in a mood to return her smile, he was agitated to be woken up alone in the room, for a moment he really thought that all those happenings were a dream and Manvi was no longer there in his life, he was shuttered but reality hit him like a calming breeze as he saw her things scattered around the room, her jewelries on the bedside cupboard, her chuda, mangalsutra and the locket on the dressing table, her lehenga neatly arranged on a hanger, he felt his heart relaxing gradually, 'but why did she leave him alone?' was the only question he felt like asking her,
"You can smile Virat… kam nahi pad jao ge…" Manvi teased him as she walked towards the dressing table,
Virat didn't reply but kept on staring at her while she released her hair from the towel's clutch as the jumpy curls bumped on her shoulder then reached her waist in a swift, she combed it neatly, then wore her chuda, mangalsutra and delved through the jewelry boxes searching for something appropriate to put on, he slowly moved towards her when she was softly caressing the locket, she sensed his presence closer to her then met his gaze through the mirror and leaned back on his chest as he circled her waist placing his palm flat on her front,
"She must be happy na… I mean with me?" Manvi asked as she tried to clear her clouded gaze,
"What do you think… what will make her happy when it comes to you?" Virat asked as he caressed her hand comfortingly,
Manvi thought back to her days with her mama, her mother always had thought about what makes her happy before she decided to give her anything, she could still remember her aunties scolding her mama for doing it, but what she always said was 'we have to give what they ask for, and they'll gradually learn to ask for the right thing… when they learn from their mistakes,' her mama has always given her what she needed and she learnt from her mistake too… she wanted Virat in her life and she trusts her choice to be a right one, so she knows that her mama would be happy too, she smiled as she turned to look at Virat, he mirrored her action and moved away the tickling fringes away from her face,
Virat knew that Manvi had found her answer and was elated to see her happy, he gazed at her appearance once again and thought that there was something missing, something which his bhabi used to have all the time, and that was that small drop of red powder between her hair partition, Manvi raised her brows at him, and he shook his head at her and grabbed the sindoor from the dressing table,
"Oops… I forgot…" said Manvi as she slapped her head slightly,
Virat took a pinch of the powder and placed it on her forehead carefully; Manvi smiled and continued to dry her hair while Virat moved towards the bathroom to get fresh.
