When I'm With You

Chapter 46

I felt the touch of her bare back on my wrist like a soft cotton candy. So smooth and plane.

She tucked her hair from the back to the front through right side. She can't wear a bra with this dress, so her back will be completely bare.

"I wish I was born rich." Rishma looked at the moon in the sky and said.

"I would too." I stood next to her facing each other.

"Where will you be in a year? Where will I be?" She asked putting her hands on both my shoulders.

"Say it yourself." I gave that task to her.

Because she is drunk, her tongue was unable to hold on to the words she wanted to say. She opened her eyes with great difficulty,

"I'll finish my studies, get a job and start a boring life. You'll be... a big superstar. People will be running after you for your autograph." She spoke her mind in a dramatic and powerful voice. I did not stop her.

"Your photos are pasted in every girl's room in the world, on their phone, on their pillows.
They probably have your name tattooed on their arms and chest.

When you walk down the red carpet, those around you will wish they could touch you at least once. Men wish they had you as a brother, and women wish they had you as a husband."

Really?

Her words lit up my face and felt good to hear. But if there is greed, none of this will happen.

Even if the whole world doesn't know, at least ten people should know me as an actor.

"Do you know why I let you tell Agnes that I am still your wife?” she asked.

Agnes is innocent and you don't want to hurt her.

"You don't want to hurt her?" I asked the same question that came to my mind. She nodded as no.

"Because... Radha was Lord Krishna's best friend and would accompany Krishna in all his adventures and fun, but Krishna would go to Madurai to fulfill his life's mission. He become a great king. He would marry Rukmini, who was more beautiful and intelligent than Radha.

All these times have passed, it's 2021 and still people say Radhakrishna, not Rukminikrishna. That's the power of true bond. Even time can't hide the truth."

She paused for a second and looked at me.

"I want to be your Radha. The whole world should call me Chris's Rishma."

She completed her words by giving me a very soft hug. I covered her little body with my hands and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"You will hear it one day." I said making the hug a bit tighter.

Suddenly she released herself from my grip and asked, " You know? When we first started sharing the quarters I wanted to live with you as Romeo and Juliet."

What? Romeo and Juliet?

I chuckled. Stupid teenage thoughts !

"But then I wanted to be Tom and Jerry with you." She answered before I could ask another question.

"But then I realized we're not Tom and Jerry, we're living as Dora Buji."

"Dora Buji? How is that? What's the chemistry between them?" I doubted.

"Yes.. You won't see the nearby t-shirt, you won't see the near by charger, you won't see the near by pen. Like Dora you would ask, do you see it...where is it....inside the bagpack..." She imitated Dora Buji.
