Karishma ( POV )
" Where are we going? " I asked him. He said " We decided to be a couple, Arav called you mom ...it's a party time. " he said with a smile.
" And ? " I asked. " We wouldn't be a couple if we never go out ...so it's a date. We are going on a date. " he said that with a simple smile.
" Date ? Where ? What about the kids ? Aditi is not going to like it...I promised her to read story for her. Arav...what will he do .." I am super tensed. I haven't been away from them for long.
" Mrs Snow and mom can handle them. So it's fine. " he said. Than well I guess I have nothing to worry about. I don't have to go office tomorrow anyway. I can work from home so I can just enjoy my date.
I lied on his shoulder and asked " so where are we going? " Well I can take a nice break. " We are going in my little garden house at the corner of the town. I had it all arranged. " he said .
" Sounds like a good idea. " I told him. We reached near a little cottage type house. It's so spacious and so beautiful. I could see the gardens filled with beautiful flowers. Specially roses....it's just a wonderful sight.
House help helped Aditya get things off the car. I don't even know what he brought with him. " You take a shower and get ready. You have a date at seven. " Said Aditya with a smile.
" What am I going to wear ? " I asked him. " Well , I have everything ready , so just relax. " he said and well why should I stress.
Aditya showed us our room. It's beautiful room and I loved it. He went out to arrange something. I think I should get ready. Aditya has placed my clothes in the bed. It's a beautiful red gown .
1 hour later.
I took a hot shower and now feeling amazing. I wore the dress given by Aditya . It looks amazing on me. I did little makeup and I am ready.
But where is Aditya ? Where are we going to have dinner? As I was thinking I heard a knock on my door. Our house help came with another banquet of roses.
She handed me that and told me to follow her. Which I did and she led me to the back garden which is nicely lit now , and well decorated. The house help left me alone.
As I took few more steps I saw a beautiful dinning table. Aditya standing next to it in black looking gorgeously handsome. I walked towards him .
" Wow Aditya it's so beautiful. " I told him looking at the dinning table.
" Thank you so much. " Said Aditya.
" Wow mishti...you look beautiful. " he said and my ears turned red. " Here for you. " he said handing me another bouquet...but it's bouquet of books. He really knows what I like.
" Thank you. " I told him and we both sat down on the table. " Here some juice since you don't drink. " he said handing me a glass of apple juice.
" So ... what are we going to do ? Dating my husband is kind of new for me. " I told him and we both laughed.
" Well we can act we just met for the first time. And try to know each
other. " he said and well sounds like a good idea to me.
" What would you like to know? " I asked him. " For start... would you like to dance with me? " he asked and I nodded. He took my hand . Here I am married woman and having kids.
But Karishma of both worlds has never been on a date. So it's so new for me. ' Dil Ibadat ' started when he pulled me near him , holding me in his embrace. His right hand is on my waist and left one holding my hand.
He was close to me several times but I still feel like my cheeks burning. I couldn't even look him in the eye. He looks so good just like the handsome characters you read in the book...wish could take a picture.
We were slowly dancing. " I think we should say something. " he said . I looked up and asked " like what ? I am not sure... never been on a date before. " I thought I should tell him the truth.
" Really? Well I am honoured. But I thought you had a boyfriend...no offense I don't want to ruin the moment. " he said while slowly trailing my jawline with his nose , I could feel his warm breath.
Well I needed little time so I pulled away and said " well it's ruined. ". And was about to walk away to sit on a nearby bench but before I could leave he holded my hand and pulled me back to him.
" Aj Jane ki zid na karu....I know your not mad. Than why are you pretending to be mad ? Why ? Why are you teasing me ? " he asked me looking in the eye.
" I can be mad. What will you do if I become mad at you? " I asked him.
" Well , I will hold you and never let you leave me. " he said and well how can I be mad at that face ? Too cute.
" Well , than let's dance and forget everything else. " I told him. He nodded and we danced on more songs.
After that he had a lovely dinner. We talked about our school and college days. And I realised I don't remember anything from my past. Like I can only recall memories of Karishma I am in , not my memories. What happened before I was here ...I don't recall anything? Is system behind it ? I don't know...it's crazy.
2 hours later
" Where are we going? " I asked him but he didn't replied. We walked for som and then he released my eyes.
" Since you like nature so much I thought we could spend the night
here. " he said with a smile.
" First date and you want me to spend the night with an unknown man. Is it safe? " I asked him in a teasing tone.
" Yes , I am sure you will not take advantage of me. " he said and wait what does he think I am ? How will I do such stuff ?
" Trust me ....I am a decent woman. I don't do creepy stuff. " I told him with dignity. I entered the tent and sat down. It's so soft and beautiful. The air is heavy with the sweet scent of flowers.
" Then miss decent...why are you having my picture in your phone. It's from that time when we were not a couple? " he asked and oh shit...but I thought he didn't know about it.
" Let me darling...." he said lying on my lap " you had a crush on me ? You actually liked me ? " he asked. That guy...my ears turning hot ...of course I liked him but how will I say it.
" Okay , okay I will not tease you...it's time for the surprise. " he said , more surprises are left. He turned off the lights and the garden was filled with moonlight and little light insects. It looked amazing...just like a fairy tale.
" Mishti....thank you for giving me another chance, thank you for loving me. " he said placing my hand in his heart. My eyes filled with tears. I feel complete...I feel happy.
Samrat ( POV )
The tattoo is hurting again...I know why it hurts and that is painful in itself. But I have to leave with this pain forever.
I wish I could forget everything, not know anything about anything but that's not part of my curse.
My curse is pain , pain of memory, pain of mystery and I have to endure it. It's not too much pain but it's really uncomfortable.
" Hey ! Here is your blanket. " Said Sahara, putting a fresh blanket on my bed. With my painful memories I am doing injustice on her , how can I move on with all that memory ?
" Hey ! Can I get a hug ? " I asked her. She looked at me with concern and without any question walked over to me and sat down to my level and give me a hug.
I have learned from someone that
' we must always answer love with love ' and I will do it. I may not forget anything but I will value Sahara and care for her. With that thought the pain in my tattoo is gone. I don't understand the complicated mystery.
She might have understood but all I know is that I have done something right ...well then I will keep doing the right thing forever.
