Dawn was slowly making its way.. the cool Kodaikanal day smiled at the
lovers. Ram slowly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the sleeping form of his
lovely wife..asleep like a baby in his arms- Ram just kept admiring Priya..her
silky hair fanning her soft cheeks..pink lips that invited, teased and
tortured- smiled and smirked! As if on cue Priya sighed and snuggled closer and
buried her head into Ram’s wide chest..Ram’s arms held her closer..
Her fragrance intoxicated him..he slowly kissed her forehead. Priya’s
beautiful long eyelashes fluttered open and she was facing the love of her
life..Ram’s loving gaze made her blush and she hid her face. Ram tried to look
at her face..she shook her head. Ram quickly moved over her and slowly kissed
her palms and slowly started planting kisses all over and took her lips in a
slow and sensual kiss.
He moved to the side, rested his head on his hand..all the while his eyes
never leaving her face.
Ram: (softly) Hey biwi…good morning!!
Priya: (blushing) Good morning Ram.
Priya slowly moved away, holding her duvet close to her
chest..self-conscious, shy..Ram pulled her back to him..nuzzled her neck..
Ram: Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy kahaan jaa rahi ho?
Priya could not even look up at him.
Priya: Mmm..woh..main…
Ram: Biwi…kya hai..look at me.
He raised her chin..her eyes were lowered..she was blushing, clutching the
duvet tight and bit her lips..
Ram: Priya are you alright? I mean…after last night? Sorry if I got carried
away..
Priya looked at him wide-eyed..
Priya: No…Ram I am perfectly fine..and no you were, and are being very
sensitive..thanks Ram for making it so beautiful .
Ram: No Priya..you made it a special night for me..I love you Priya.
Priya: I love you Ram
.
Ram: Priya…sachi you are ok na?
Priya: Haan Ram of course I am fine..
Ram pulled her close to him and bit her ear lobe..
Ram: Phir toh biwi I won’t waste time asking for your permission!!!
Priya hardly had any time to protest..not that she wanted to! She wanted to
be one with Ram..this time Ram took her slowly..showing her what an exquisite
lover he was. Priya lay in his arms feeling thoroughly loved but totally
exhausted. Ram went off to sleep too- a very very happy man.
With no one to disturb, they slept peacefully for hours..waking up only
when the soft rays of the sun crept into the room. Priya woke up first and
tried to get out of Ram’s hold.
.Ram just sighed and muttered : Priya…arrey so
jao na..kahaan ja rahi ho? Don’t leave..
Priya: (looked at the time) Raaaaaaaaam it is 10 am..we have been sleeping
for such a long time!
Ram opened one eye, cutely grinned at her.
Ram: Toh kya karoon? My biwi is so sexy..tumne mujhe sone kahaan diya!
Priya: Haaaaaaaaaaw!! Meine kahaan sone nahin diya..aapne hee toh.
.
Ram pulled her: Meine hee toh..kya kiya??
Priya: Ishhh Ram chodiye na mujhe..let me go and shower.
Ram: Help karoon?
Priya: Raaaaaaaaaaaaaam aap shuru ho gaye!
Ram: Haha! Arrey don’t worry..go shower..I will go downstairs and see if
the newspapers have arrived.
Ram: Priya…just check the wardrobes..I have got clothes your size..hope you
like them.
Priya: What?? You got clothes for me?
Ram: Tum meri biwi ho na? Then? Liya tumhare liye..see if you like them!
Priya: Par how do you know…she turned away shyly!
Ram laughed loudly..don’t ask..nahin toh mujhe phir se check karna
padega..not that I will complain!!
Priya pushed him away and rushed to the wardrobe..it was neatly stacked
with rows of clothes- jeans, kurtas, a whole lot of sarees and blouses.
Priya chose a pale blue chiffon creation…took a leisurely shower to take
away the aches. It brought back memories of
last night..their mutual desire for each other made her blush deep
crimson. Ram was such a gentle and sensitive lover- always putting her needs
before his.
Priya draped the saree. She applied moisturiser generously and kolh-lined
her eyes and wore a maroon bindi and sindoor. She applied her favourite rather
Ram’s favourite perfume at the pulse points blushing in anticipation of Ram’s
reaction. Her hair was wet from the shower but she went downstairs looking for
Ram.
Ram saw his Priya coming down the stairs looking fresh and utterly
beautiful- her wet hair, the lovely saree that clung to her in the right places
and her mangalsutra that swayed gently on her bosom as she walked down the
stairs drove him to the edge. He looked at her..she felt goosebumps all over
her body when she saw Ram look at her…
Ram smiled and went off to shower and came back in a few minutes
fresh..shaved and smelling of after shave.
Priya’s back was turned. She was busy making breakfast. She had rummaged
the cupboards and decided to make a simple breakfast of toast, fruit and
cereal. Both of them were hungry. She made a mental note of the grocery she
needed to buy. She wanted to cook a nice meal for Ram. Priya stood by the
counter arranging the fruit in plates and making hot elaichi chai. She set the
tray of chai on the small cosy dining table.
Ram came quietly, dressed in a cool black t shirt and jeans and hugged her from behind..shaking drops of
water from his wet hair on her.. she squirmed..
Priya: Raaaaam..yeh kya?
Ram: Mera breakfast nahin dhogee?
Priya: wahi toh..ttable pe…
Ram did not let her complete the sentence he simply spun her around taking her lips in his in a
flash in a sweet kiss. She blushed and held on to his t shirt to stop herself
from falling!
Ram: mmmm lovely…you look beautiful now..kya hai..thoda sa colour missing tha..ab theek hai!!!
Priya bit her lower lip and pushed Ram towards the dining table..chaliye na
Ram bhook lagi hai!
Ram: aaaaaaaah bhook lag rahi hai???? Oh !
Priya: Arrey mein keh rahi thee breakfast ka time ho gaya..
Ram: Mmmm tum apni haath se khilao na Priya.
Priya lovingly fed him toast and fruit. She started eating her breakfast. A
crumb of toast stuck to her lower lip..Ram couldn’t take his eyes off and
proceeded to clean it…with a kiss!!
Priya: Raaaaaaaaaam kitna pareshan kar rahe hain mujhe..chaliye chai peethe
hain..yahaan nahin..what about in the garden?
Ram: Oh running away Priya??? Isme
mera kya dosh hai? You look so inviting…could not resist!!
Anyway chalo..we have a small garden behind the house too..you did not see
it last night.
Ram opened the back doors..a beautiful lawn stared back at Priya..lovely
fruit trees lined the garden..apples, pears!!
The crisp morning air invited her..birds on the trees chirped ..Priya
inhaled the fragrance of freshly cut grass . She sat at the door step with her tea cup with
both hands, Ram sat close to her..both of them sat close to each other sipping
hot fragrant tea and watching the sun drench the lawns with bright sunshine.
The trees swayed in breeze..there was peace and quiet…loads of warmth and love
even when they were not saying anything.
Priya just placed her head on his shoulder and Ram threw his hand around
her shoulder. It was a lovely moment..Ram and Priya and their love.
Ram: Priya??
Priya: Mmmm
Ram: Kitna acha lag raha hai na?
Priya: so peaceful Ram..aapke saath, aise..there is nothing I need.
Ram: Kitna sukoon hai Priya…kabhi socha bhee nahin thaa aise kabhi mauka
aayega meri zindagi mein..bas tumhein doondhaa rahaa..tum aa gayi ho meri
zindagi mein..mujhe kuch nahin chahiye.
Priya: I feel blessed Ram.
After a while Priya got up to take the cups inside..Ram stopped her.
Ram: Kahaan ja rahi ho bhaito na mere paas?
Priya: Ram..let me start cooking something for lunch Ram
.
Ram: Mujhe lunch nahin chahiye..bas tum chahiye!
Priya: Yeh kya Ram? Mein yahin pe hoon kitchen mein..aap ek kaam
kijiye..aap mujhe help kijiye ok?
Ram : Nice idea par can’t we just eat out?
Priya: Nahin mein apni haathon se lunch khilana chahthee hoon!
Ram: Gosh Priya..we are on our honeymoon! Yahaan bhee cook karogi?
Priya ruffled his hair: Ram, kahaan manaa kar rahi hoon ki honeymoon pe
hain..of course we are..par ghar pe hain not in some hotel..mujhe acha lagega.
Ram: Ajeeb aurat ho..I know you must be tired..I want you to rest and
relax.
Priya: Tired?? No..I am not Ram..I am perfectly fine!
Ram: Ooooooooooooooh my biwi is not tired..tab toh…
Priya guessed what Ram was upto and ran away..Ram followed saying..
Ram: Biwi kahaan jaaogi bhaagkar? He caught up with her in a flash..Priya
kept going back..
Priya: Ram…nahin..please chodiye na..I am tired !!
Ram (softly…very softly..his eyes never leaving hers) abhi toh keh rahi
thee ki you were not tired..ab kya hua biwi?
Priya realised she was pinned to the wall. Ram’s warm breath teased
her..his lips came close..very close.
Priya closed her eyes, her heart beating
faster and faster..he wasn’t even touching her!!!
Ram stood close and slowly whispered..
Ram: Biwi…walk pe chalein?
Priya’s eyes flew open! She stammered, confused..
Priya: Kkkya? Woh..mein..haan chalte hain.
Ram was amused. He couldn’t resist teasing her.
Ram: (in a serious tone) Priya???
Priya: Ji?
Ram: Abhi….tumne aankhen bandh ki…I saw you were shivering..kya baat hai?
Tum kya soch rahi thee?
Priya: Kya soch rahi thee?
Ram: Acha..tum kuch nahin soch rahi thee?
Priya: Haan kuch bhee toh nahin soch rahi thee!!
Ram (very softly) LIAR…you wanted me to…hold you this way??
He caught her waist..his fingers drawing patterns on her waist and
stomach..Priya shivered in response.
Ram: And….
Priya escaped from his hold and laughed loudly..
Priya: Raaaaam you are sooooooooo naughty…chalo let us go for a walk now!
Ram: Biwi…kitna romantic mood ko kharaab kar diya tumne!!
Priya: My darling patidev…honeymoon does not necessarily mean that we spend
all 24 hours romancing!
Ram: Achha? Toh romance nahin karenge tho kya karenge?
Priya took Ram’s hands..Ram I want to be with you day and night..keep
seeing you..read with you, listen to music..spend every moment basking in your
love..bas you and me…I want to listen to you talk, sing. I want to…just feel
alive with you …
Ram just hugged her.
Ram: Tum itna pyaar karthi ho mujhse? Kyun?
Priya: Mein apne aap se karthi hoon pyar Ram..aap aur mein alag thodi hain.
Ram: True. I am a very lucky man Priya..pata hai for others these may sound
trivial but for us it means so much..spending this kind of time with each
other..every moment I spend with you is a moment I have always craved for. I
have always wanted to belong to someone-entirely..my body, heart and soul.
Priya nodded happily..Yes Ram, true..we are blessed to have each other- we
may have taken a long time to find each other, but I am glad I waited.
Ram: Mm..Priya ek minute..
He went inside and got a beautiful shawl for her and both stepped out of
their home for a nice walk…a walk to remember.
Priya automatically laced her fingers in his strong palms..she felt safe.
The whole place looked magical..their world- it was filled with beauty-their
surroundings tranquil..Priya looked around in wonder..the beautiful lawns,
roses in every colour spread love and fragrance everywhere. The tall eucalyptus
trees with their signature fragrance..the tall hedges giving them the privacy.
There was a beautiful swing in a shaded corner by rose bushes.
Priya: Ram…all this looks like something out of a picture postcard. I love
our home Ram.
Ram: I love the way you said ‘Our Home’…means so much Priya.
Life was beautiful- Ram and Priya were in their own world..laughing and
talking..teasing and blushing. A morning full of sweet nothings..wasn’t that
bliss? It was a time when no one else mattered..nothing mattered. They slowly
made their way to the market place- such a mundane place to be- for others! But
for Ram and Priya..even a trip to the market was a romantic one..simply because
of each other.
Ram: Priya…pata hai..I have never visited a market before!!
Priya: Oh…
Ram: Hehe..never bothered about such things..always was in a hurry..never
paid attention to food even! The first time I noticed how tasty something
was..was when you cooked dinner, the first time we met!!!
Priya: Oh hehe..aur kya bol rahe the..aap mujhe help karenge..
Ram: Haan bilkul…see I make you happy..and make you blush..automatically
tum itna pyaar se khana banaogi na- toh help hee hua na?
Priya: Raaaaaaam aap na bilkul…bahut sweet ho!
Ram: You love sweets na?
Priya blushed in response and said.
.
Priya: Raaaaaam ishhhhh….
