EPISODE 6
I
asked, "You didn't like it?"
She
said, "It's nice but"
I
asked, "But"
She
said, "I wanna talk to Mom in privacy; can you leave me alone?"
I said,
"Okay, I'll go a walk" and left the room.
I went
to the reception and made a call to my mom, my call was on waiting. She
attended my call and said, "Hey Arjun, Nethra is on the other line"
I said,
"Yes, I know, put me on conference without her knowledge mom"
Mom
said, "That's not a good practice. Call me later I'll talk to you"
I said,
"Mom, she is my wife and I need to know if she is unhappy with me"
My mom
said, "It's bad, should I do it?"
I said,
"Please mom" reluctantly she connected the calls and told Nethra,
"Sorry dear that was an important call that's why I had put you on
hold"
She
said, "That's fine mom, no issues"
Mom
asked, "So how was your day today? How is Arjun behaving with you?"
She
started sobbing and my Mom asked, "What happened? Why are you crying? Did
he force you?"
She
said, "No, he is gem of a person and I'm feeling guilty I'm disappointing
him, I'm not fulfilling my responsibility as a wife"
Mom
said, "Thanks, for a moment I thought I have raised an animal"
She
said, "No mom, he gave me a night dress as a honeymoon gift"
Mom
asked, "You didn't like it"
She
said, "I liked it but it is transparent and seductive. I feel shy and
awkward to put it on"
Mom
said, "Sweet heart listen, He is your husband and has all rights to see
you like that but only if you are willing and I promise you he won't trouble
you or force you. Put it on only when you're comfortable and he'll take it as a
sign. My advice for you is life is beautiful enjoy it and you'll start liking
this life soon. Take your time. Enjoy your honeymoon, okay"
She
said, "hmmm..."
Mom
said, "That's good. Good girl. Take care. Bye. Good night" and
disconnected her call and asked me, "What Arjun, what is your wife
saying?"
I said,
"I love you mom, you handle her wisely"
Mom
said, "People are more important than anything else Arjun. Relationships
are more fragile; handle with care. Take care of her"
I
asked, "Sure Mom. So how are you, dad, Adithi and Mithra doing?"
She
said, "We all are doing fine. Enjoy your honeymoon and come back home
safely. I wish your patience will be paid soon"
I said,
"Thanks, I want us to be compatible people first, which is more important
for a family. Am I right mom?
She
said, "Yes, couples should be capable of existing together in harmony. Okay
take care. Bye"
I said,
"Bye, Good night" and we disconnected the call and I went to my room
and knocked it.
She
said, "Come in"
While
entering I asked, "What did you mother-in-law say?"
She
said, "Nothing, we were just talking"
I said,
"Okay, I'm feeling sleepy" saying this I lay on the couch and asked
her, "Can I sleep here or shall I check if another room is available"
She
said, "No, you can sleep on the cot, I'll sleep on the couch"
I said,
"Maybe we can take a forty winks on the couch but it is uncomfortable for
an entire night's sleep so I suggest both of us sleep on the cot comfortably if
you are comfy"
She
said, "Okay" and we walked towards the cot as two poles and laid
ourselves on both the edges facing the walls. We dozed off soon and I woke up
when the hot sun's rays hit my face and found her still sleeping but she was
facing me and her legs slightly wrapped on me without her knowledge. I called
the room service and ordered for coffee and lay on the bed gently stroking her
head as I didn't want to disturb her sleep.
She was
sleeping like a baby. The name sleeping beauty was very apt for her and I
wondered if the princess in the sleeping beauty fairy tale would have been as
beautiful as my Nethra. In silence I asked God, Why did you put her in wrong
hands instead you could have given her to me, I would have taken care of my
angel. Anyway thank you lord for giving her to me. I'm happy with her.
The
calling bell rang tringggggggggg...........
I
opened the door and the room service personnel said, "Good morning Sir,
Your coffee and newspaper. Have a nice day" saying this he left the tray
on the table and left the room.
I
served coffee for both of us and woke her up with a kiss on her forehead, she
didn't refuse it. We started off with the days outing plan. Usually when we
were together I used to do a lot of talking and she speaks very little which is
contradictory to our gender. Similarly today I asked her; tell me some of the
happiest moments in your life.
She
said, "My world is very small. It consists of Mithra and me. Few years
back 4 more people joined my world. Yet I have few happy moments to
mention"
I
interrupted and asked, "Don't you have your mother and father in your
world?"
She
sternly said, "No, I can never forgive them for ruining my childhood.
Don't talk about them please, their thoughts make me angry"
I felt
bad at her response and I was able to feel the pain and agony in her tone. I
said, "Okay, go on with your happy moments"
She
said, "I was very happy when little Mithra was born. I was extremely happy
when you said; my safety is your responsibility. I saw a fatherly concern in
it. I started liking you from that moment onwards. When you got food for me I
found a motherly care. When you said the worst hostel food is good and you gave
me your lunch so I can at least have one good meal a day; I saw your brotherly
affection. When you surprised me with a gift on my birthday I saw a true friend
in you. I was bountifully happy when your mother first kissed me on my
forehead, Adithi's innocent chats and time spent with mom, dad, Adithi, Mithra
and you are the finest moments in my life"
I said,
"You have seen me as a father, mother, brother and friend but why is your
heart refusing to accept me as your husband?"
She
said, "It's because of my past dreadful experience which I haven't told
you"
I said,
"I don't want to listen to your past which will remind you of that and
trouble you. I know you're innocent. All I would say is forget the past, I
understand it's very hard but still try not to ruin the present with the
past"
I felt
happy that she spoke frankly and unusually, expressed herself. During dinner
she said, "You can take liquor if you want" I said, "Not today,
I don't feel like taking a drink now. When I feel like taking a drink I'll
surely ask for your permission, dear. Okay?" she smiled and said,
"Okay"
The
second day of our honeymoon went on like this with a little improvement of
sleeping together facing each other without any hesitation. She woke up early
the third day. Sweet sound of her anklets woke me but I was pretending to sleep
and I was observing her. She ordered for coffee and was trying to wake me up.
She got her face near my face but took it back. Few moments later she came near
to kiss my forehead but she didn't, I opened my eyes and said, "Leave off
your shyness and kiss me dear" sheepishly smiling she said, "Good
morning" and handed me a cup of coffee. I knew she started to love me but
was reluctant to reveal it.
We went
for the third day's outing and she started to walk holding my hands and allowed
me to wrap my hands on her shoulder. There was progression in our intimacy and
we captured it in the photo snaps. This day went on as usual with a little
improvement of wrapping our hands and legs around each other.
Though
longing and yearning welled up in my heart, I enjoyed this waiting. It was an
interesting and exciting experience to make her bloom herself. The fourth day's
outing went on like this and in the night she asked me, "It's boring, Can
we play something?"
I said,
"Okay, let me check if the billiards pool or any recreation centre is open
in the hotel at this point of time"
She
said, "Let's play an indoor game"
I said,
"Oh, we don't have chess board or carom here. What do we play?"
She
said, "Hide and seek"
I
laughed loudly and said, "Hide and seek interesting. Okay who is gonna
hide and who is gonna seek?"
She
said, "I'm gonna hide and you're gonna seek" saying this she tied my
eyes and pulled my hands to my back and tied them together.
I asked,
"When was then rule changed. I know hide and seek where only eyes were
tied but why hands?"
She
said, "what if you take out the eye band with your hands before I hide and
find out my hiding place?"
I
asked, "Okay, but anyway I have to take it out myself once you're
hid"
She
said, "Oh yeah, I didn't think about it. Okay you start counting by the
time I will hide and think on how to release your hands as well"
I said,
"Okay, count till how many?"
She
said, "100"
Hmmm
funny I started counting, "one, two, three.................. forty, forty
one............. Seventy, seventy one.................. ninety nine, hundred. I
was counting and at the same time thinking where is she gonna hide and I listed
the places to check - the cupboards, under the cot, balcony, bathroom that's
it. No more place to hide in the room. I asked, "Nethra, I'm done. Shall I
Come?"
No
response from her…..
Silence!!!!!....
Silence!!!!!!.....
