An unusual love story

I love you too..

Time flied and the day of their marriage has arrived. They have got tied in the beautiful knot of marriage under the blessings and best wishes of their dear ones.

Rajeev's room...

Rajeev and Raina enter the room which is beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. The sound of her bangles and payal can only be heard in the awkward silence of the room as none of them are talking. It's not an unexpected thing from Raina who used to remain quiet out of nervousness in front of him. But, Rajeev is definitely behaving unexpectedly today, he is extremely nervous, he is not looking into her eyes. She is looking exceptionally beautiful today but he has not given any compliment to her, as he is not able to choose the right words to express himself. He tries to excuse himself from the situation and says,

"I'll go and change, you make yourself comfortable"

She nods her head.

She looks around, the room is huge, she realises that this room is bigger than her entire house. She looks at the bed which is giant, contemporary and looks cozy and comfortable. She is so tired and wants to lie down, before which she wants to take off her heavy jewellery.

She sits on the stool in front of the mirror, and starts removing the pins with which her duppatta is attached to her hair. He comes out of the washroom and sees her struggling, he comes near her for help and says, "May I.."

She nervously replies, "No, I'll manage.."

He sees into her eyes and says, "I insist.."

She slightly nods her head.

He starts removing the hair pins with too much care so as not to hurt her. She sees him in mirror and can't help her praising him for his amazing looks in her mind, she feels so proud and happy that he is hers now. She is so lost in him that she doesn't realise when her dupatta is detached from her hair. Now he starts removing other hair pins to make her hair loose. He is occasionally stealing glances at her reflection in mirror. She looks down when her eyes meet his in mirror. A sweet smile is not leaving her as well as his face. A glow in their eyes is expressing the feeling which they are sharing and enjoying which they have never felt before. Soon her hair gets loose and while caressing her hair.. back of his hand touches her neck which makes her feel like electricity passes through her body and she immediately stands and starts moving saying,

"I'll go and change"

He holds her hand and stops her, her heartbeat is racing fast, she is shivering out of anxiety and nervousness, no matter how much she tries to keep herself calm around him, her heart is not under her control. He takes her hands in his and notices her mehndi, her bangles and then her downcast eyes, he places a warm kiss on her hand which makes her close her eyes. He comes more close to her and caresses her face with his thumb. Her eyes are still close and she is unable to take this sweet torture. Her breath becomes heavy and short. She feels his thumb on her lips and opens her eyes out of anxiety, she sees his eyes are pouring love and longing for her and may be she knows what is he up to, as he hovers over her face, she hugs him tightly, he is little baffled by this sudden action of hers, after a moment he smiles at her cute escape from the kiss and takes her into his warm embrace. She says,

"I'm sorry"

He replies lovingly, "Don't be, I'm in no hurry.."

This makes her relaxed. Both stay in each other's embrace for few more moments with their eyes closed and their faces resting on each other's shoulder. After some time they slowly pull away from the hug but their eyes are still locked. She breaks the eye lock first and says with a smile,

"I'll go and change now.."

He nods his head and then after a moment stops her and says,"No, wait you change here comfortably, I'll be in balcony, just let me know when you are done.."

After some time, she opens the door to the balcony. He looks at her, she is in casual t-shirt and pants, no sign of make-up on her face, hair in a pony tail, still looking as adorable as in that grand bridal dress.

He asks her to join him, he shows his mini garden to her, how he is telling about each plant and a story associated to it, it takes no time for her to understand that he is so fond of plants. He notices that she is not looking at plants but looking at his face only.

He asks her, "You like nature?"

She replies, "Yes, of course I do.. "

He rests his elbow on the railing, looking into her eyes, asks her lovingly, "What else do you like?"

She blushes but doesn't say anything..

He takes her hand in his hand and says lovingly, "Raina.. I waited for this moment to come when we are together..when we are with each other..just with each other..and I can't even tell you how I feel today to have you as my wife..I'm so happy..I feel like the happiest and luckiest person on the earth..you are not just my love..you are my life...Thank you for marrying me.."

She shakes her head and says with teary eyes , "Thanks to you for coming in my life..thanks to you for respecting my affection for you...thanks for loving me so much.."

He kisses her hand, sees into her eyes and says, "I love you.."

Tear escapes her eye, she replies, "I love you too.."

He smiles with contentment and says, "Say it again.."

She repeats to make him believe her, "I love you..I love you so very much..I loved you when I didn't even see you in real..I loved you when you didn't even know me..I loved you when you met me and thought me to be just a fan of you...I always loved you Rajeev and will love you till my last breath as my love for you is involuntary like my breath.

He takes her in his arms, their eyes are wet but they have peace and contentment on their faces. It's going to be a long hug under the stars in this beautiful night.
