The very night that they married, proved to be blissful for both Anamika and Vineet. Anamika expresses all her emotions with a few words, she expresses her love for him. Her gift has made place on the side table beside the bed. Vineet releases her from the hug and she moves to freshen up and change her dress. Vineet also moves into the other room to change into the casuals. He comes back into the room and finds Anamika settling the bed. He sits on the bed and she smiles at him. She finds him looking at the photoframe that she gifted him. She smiles.

" I am Sorry!"  she says.

He looks at her in surprise. Well, they are husband and wife, and she didn't do any mistake. So, why sorry.?

" Ab tum hi is ghar ki boss ho. Tum kyun sorry bol rahi ho?" he asks.

" Maine Ruhana ji ka ye photo aapse bina puche le liya. Mujhe laga aapko bura lagega. Par jis din aapne mujhe yahan bulaya tha us din jaate waqt maine ye photo leliya tha."  she reveals.

" Aur vaise bhi, main ye nahi chahti, ki aap kuch bhulen, ya apni aatma ko bhula dein. Main toh bas itna chahti hoon ki  purani yaadon ko sanjo kar, nayi yaadein banayen."  Anamika says.

Vineet looks at her for a few minutes. He's always fascinated by the logic she gives, and this is one reason that this lady has made a special place in his heart. He holds her hand and makes her sit on the bed. He's not saying anything, but his action leaves her surprised. He holds both her hands and kisses on her palms. She's touched at his gesture. His eyes reveal all the love and respect that  he holds for her.

" This is what I love about you, Anamika. Everything you do is for a reason, aur tum wo sab ache se samajhti ho. Thanks!  Thik kaha tha tumne, pyar kabhi marta nahi hai, haan rang roop badal kar laut aata hai. Jaise tum aayi ho, meri zindagi mein."  he says.

She's touched. He's considering her as a comeback of his love.  She cannot ask for more. He's with her, and she has got another reason to live for. She hugs him keeping her head on his chest while,  he wrapped his hand around him.

They didn't need words to communicate, silence speaks it all.

*****
Next Morning, Anamika wakes up, and finds Vineet asleep.  It's quite late in the morning, but they were tired, so it's fine. Vineet is facing her and his hand is around her waist. She smiles remembering the conversation she had with him last night. She's lucky to have him in her life. She lets him sleep for some more time. She places a soft kiss on his head and frees herself from his grip. After freshening up, she moves towards Ansh's room, to check on him. Since, they are in a new place, she wishes to check on him. Though she did so, in the night and the boy was soundly asleep. She moves into the room and finds the boy asleep. She smears his head and kisses his head. She sits on the bed adoring her son. The boy snuggles  closer to her, as if he recognised her presence.

" Mera bacha uth gaya?" she asks Smearing boy's head.

"No! Ansh ko aur sona hai."  Ansh says.

"Acha  acha so jao!  Mumma tab tak Ansh ka favorite nashta banayegi." Anamika says.

The boy opens one eye to look at his mother. She smiles at his action.

" Aap chocolate cake banaoge?"  he asks.

" Nahi!" she replies casually.

"This is not fair. Aapne promise kiya tha Ansh se. Main papa ko complaint karunga." the boy makes a face and jumps out of the bed.

" Arey ruko Ansh, papa so rahe hain" she calls him but the boy is swift enough to run away.

Anamika follows the boy but the scenario in the room makes her smile. Ansh is lying beside Vineet, his head on his chest and  the boy is complaining. Anamika adores them for a few minutes and letting them bond, she makes her way in the kitchen to prepare the breakfast for the day. She prepares pancakes, the aroma of which brings the father and son out of the room. They move in the kitchen, but Anamika turns to stop them.

"Pehle dono naha ke aao. Uske baad nashta milega." She says.

"Bhook lagi hai, mumma!"  Ansh says.

"This is unfair, Ana!" Vineet says making an innocent face.

Anamika is surprised to hear the short name from him. She smiles, this short name was reserved only for her late father, and now Vineet. She loved it coming from him.

"Mumma, this is unfair." Ansh says angrily.

"Go and brush your teeth. Aur apne papa ko bhi leke jao. Ab aap dono ki ek na chalegi. Chalo, out!" she pushes them out of the kitchen.

They glare at her but she smiles. Finally she has someone to take care of, and someone to look after her. A little while later, the small family of three, have breakfast together. Vineet makes a plan to go for outing and dinner. Anamika agrees because she wants him to do all what he wishes to do for her and their son, Ansh. They're one happy family, indeed.

*****

It's a fine day. It's been six months after their wedding. The relationship that Vineet and Anamika share has deepened with time. Anamika is at the office. Vineet is out of the city for some work.  She's missing him. It's been ten days yet the work isn't over. She's working on the computer when her phone rings. She picks it up.

"Haan, Vineet kahiye!" she replies,her eyes still glued at the computer screen.

"Oh sorry! Angel Di! Mujhe laga Vineet hai. Boliye kya hua?" Anamika says.

"Okay! Thanks Di. Waise bhi wo saransh aur ruhi ke sath khush rehta hai. I'll call you once I reach home."  she says and disconnects the call.

It's raining in Mumbai, and since Ansh's school got over early, so Angel picked Ansh and Saransh both and took them home. She just informed Anamika about Ansh that he's safe at home, though with his Bhua and his siblings. Anamika seems relaxed and gets busy with her work.

The day passes in a blur. Anamika leaves the office after making sure that all the tasks are finished. She also checked with the manager. She smiles satisfactorily and leaves the office. She has to call Angel so that they will drop Ansh home and she will meet Ruhi and Saransh too. But to her dismay,the weather is bad. It's raining heavily. She reaches home, somehow. She's surprised to find the main door unlocked.  Maybe Sachin came to drop Ansh. One duplicate key of Vineet's house is with Angel too. She enters the house and finds it dark. She calls for Ansh, but there is no reply. She gets worried and as she begins to dial Angel's number, a deep voice  hits her eardrums. It's him, Vineet.

"Don't worry! Ansh safe hain. Angel hain na wahan."

Anamika recognises it as Vineet's voice. She turns around to find him standing on the door. She turns on the lights only to find him drenched in rains.

"Aap? Kab aaye? Aur Ansh?  Usse baat hui aapki?"  she asks.

"Shant Mrs. Kumar!  Ansh thik hai. Kuch derr pehle sachin se baat hui thi toh Ansh is happy there. Subah Sachin usey drop kardega. Ye mausam bhi thik nahi na!" he explains.

"Acha toh aap kyun bheege hain. Jaiye change kijiye."  Anamika pulls him inside the house.

To her surprise, Vineet pulls her close, she looks into his eyes and then hugs him tightly. Merely, a ten day separation, has made her so weak. Well, after a lot of struggles and loneliness, she has found love in his face, and staying away from him is painful.

"Ab se aap akele kahin nahi jayenge. Main nahi reh sakti akele. Bahut kuch sambhala akele, ab aap sambhaliye, kaam bhi aur mujhe bhi."  she says in the hug.

He is surprised. The strongest woman of his life is so weak. He parts the hug.

" Arey kya hua tumhe? ". He asks.

" Bas, maine kaha na abse kahin bhi aap akele nahi jayenge. Hum dono sath mein jayenge. Mujhe ab aur akele nahi rehna." she says, her eyes teary.

He kisses her head softly.

"Good idea, waise bhi Ansh akele reh sakta hai. Tum chalna mere sath, holiday bhi ho jayega.. Acha hai mera toh fayda hi hai."  he says and winks at her, earning slaps from her.
 
He laughs while she pushes him towards the bedroom. He moves to freshens up while she sets to prepare coffee and snacks for them.

A little while later, Anamika moves into the bedroom. She places the tray on the table and at the same time, Vineet hugs her, locking his arms around her waist. She smiles and places her hands on his. She's surprised, when he mouths a word of gratitude. She looks at him and they share an Eye lock. Her hands on his chest and his hands around her waist, and the smiles on their faces.

Sanson ko sanson mein dhalne do zara
Sanson ko sanson mein dhalne do zara
Dhimi si dhadkan ko badne do zara
Lamho ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaye
Hum hum tum
Tum hum tum

Anamika is the first one to come out of the trance. His phone rings and he begins to talk. She gives him his coffee mug. They're sitting on the bed and  she leans over him, his arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Aankhon me humko utarne do zara
Baho me humko pighalne do zara
Lamho ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaye
Hum.. hum tum
Tum… hum tum

He disconnects the call and finds Anamika  staring at him. He rubs off the tear that drops off her eyes.

Salvate kahi karwate kahi
Phel jaye kajal bhi tera

She cups his face, looking into his eyes.

Nazron mein ho guzarta hua
Khwabon ka koi kaafila…

She hugs him, her heartbeat echoing in the room, though it's equally passionate for him too.

Jismo ko ruho ko jalne do zara
Sharmo haya ko machalne do zara

He breaks the hug and gazes at her. Their faces are inches apart. She moves closer to him ending the distances and seals his lips with hers.

Lamhon ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaye
Hum hum tum
Tum hum tum

The thumping of their heartbeats is the only music echoing in the silent night. They're oh so passionate lovers, who were away from a long time. They break the kiss, when they're out of breath. She again hides herself in his arms, his jands exploring her curves.

Chulo badan magar iss tarah
Jaisa surila saaz ho
Hum hai re chupe tere zulf me
Kholo ke raat azad ho
Aanchal ko sine se dhalne do zara
Shabnam ki bundein phisalne do zara
Lamho ki guzarish hai ye paas aa jaye
Hum hum tum
Tum hum tum

He turns on the bed making her lie on the bed. Now, he's over her, gazing into her eyes. He  seals her lips with his, and they lose themselves in their Love land,ending all the distances. Surely, a blissful night it is.

To Be Continued.
