My Word is My Bond… Part – 39

Hi friends…

First of all, I’m really sorry… I know I’m too late this time… But, I couldn’t make it up soon… One side health issues and other side my work… Sorry all for making you wait so long…

I hope you would like this…

Let’s get started… Happy reading…

Haider: (Suddenly looked at Krishna and smiled sheepishly.)

Krishna: (Smelled something fishy and tried to escape.)

But it was too late,

Haider: (Got hold of his dress and pulled him back.)

Krishna: Bhaaijaan, nahi… An angry Beautiful is dangerous, literally…

Anjali: (Just stepped down to meet her brothers, heard Krishna’s words and muttered.) Scared kitten…

Krishna: (Threw her a glare and turned away.)

Anjali: Bhaaijaan… (Holding his palms in hers.) Girls like me, Meera di, and all females of our family and friends, we would do anything to keep the other safe and happy… Meera di didn’t stop Pari di because she wanted her to follow the rituals, but because she didn’t want feelings of anyone to be hurt… And you know what Bhaaijaan, when you love, we tend to understand but we literally fail to accept them as they are… At that point, it is not only the failure of the person, but of the most adorable and precious relationship… I’m not trying to accuse you Bhaaijaan… I want to make you realize your love and the power of your love… You know that she can’t be superstitious or stupid, but still you questioned her, and that is only because, you understand, but somewhere you failed to accept… (Cupping his face.) My Bhaaijaan, infact, all my bhaais are intelligent enough to understand my words… Just remember it throughout the life time…

‘Shocked is an understatement’, was the reaction describing the guys’ state.

Shaurya: (Was the first to come back to his sense.) She looks little, but her words are baapraai baap…

Everyone chuckled.

Anjali: (With her hands on her hip.) Bhaai…

Shaurya: (Holding his ears, muttered.) Sorry…

Sammy: (Stepping down from the last step.) Anju…

Anjali: Hey Sammy di…

Sammy: Go and take rest for a while…

Anjali: I’m fine di…

Sammy: (Crossing her hands.) I didn’t request you to rest, young lady… I’m asking you to rest, end of converstion…

Anjali: (Pouting like a cute kid.) Ok… (And walks towards her room.)

Shaurya: (Side hugging her.) You okay, Maira…? (Worry was written all over his face.)

Sammy: (Snuggling into his embrace.) I didn’t get enough sleep, Sha… I’m feeling tired, restless…

Shaurya: (Rubbing her shoulder.) Hmmm… So, it is time to put Maira baby to sleep…

Sammy: (Punching his tummy) I’m not a baby… (And took back her position in his embrace.)

Shaurya: (Controlling his giggle.) Sure…

Neil: You know, even I’m here… (Locking his gaze with Sammy.)

Sammy: (She continued looking into his eyes, but spoke nothing.)

Shaurya: You know what, if you want to romance, why not in his embrace…? Why do you want to make me as a third wheel…?

Sammy: (Lifted her head from his chest, with a very calm face.)

Shaurya: (Was scared.) Why are you too calm…?

Sammy: Run baby, run… Run for your dear life… (Spoke with utmost love and sweetness.)

There begins the ‘chase me’ game. Finally, after running for five whole minutes, AR got hold of Shaurya and Arjun got hold of Sammy.

AR: Enough guys…

Arjun: And grow up… You’re not two or three to fight for every silly things…

Sammy: (Murmured.) It wasn’t any silly thing…

Arjun: (Cupping her face.) Sam, I know this isn’t silly… But trust me when I say, this idiot (gesturing towards Neil) is crazy about you… In these many years of brotherhood, I haven’t seen him behind any girl… If he is behind you now, then it is hell serious… (After a small pause.) But, the final decision will be always yours… It is your decision to give him, give you a chance or to deny… Hmmm…?

Sammy: (Nodded her head weakly.)

Arjun: (Smiled and pulled her into a brotherly hug.) I’ll always be by your side, come what may…

Sammy: Even if I deny your brother cum friend’s proposal…?

Arjun: (Smiling.) Come what may…

Sammy: (Hugged him tight.)

Arjun: (His wandering eyes landed on sulking Neil and chuckled silently.)

Neil: (Made faces and turned other side.)

Everyone around were silently chuckling at Neil’s antics.

After a hour,

Sammy was walking towards her room. As she crossed Neil’s room, she had a sudden urge to see him. After a struggle within herself to give her urge a chance, she decided to carry forward with her wish. When she was about to knock, she was startled with the sudden voice.

Neil: You need not knock, Sam… Just enter…

Sammy: (No response.)

Neil: (Turned towards the door to see a shocked Sammy.) What…?

Sammy: How…? I mean your back was to me… How did you know it was me…?

Neil: (Taking two steps forward.) I could feel you, Sam… (Seeing a emotionless stare.) Ok fine, maybe not exactly that, but I can sense your presence and I don’t know how… It just happens…

Sammy: (Standing there awkwardly.) Oh…

Neil: Is everything fine, Sam…?

Sammy: (Locking her eyes with his.) I have to ask you the same, is everything fine, Sir…?

Neil: (Exhaling a deep breath, he nodded yes.)

Sammy: Ok… I’ll let you rest… Bye… (She was about to go.)

Neil: Sam…?

Sammy: (She stopped and turned towards him. She didn’t have much time to understand or react, as she was crushed into a hard chest.)

Neil: (Crushed her into his chest and hugged her tight with his head buried in her hair.)

Sammy: (Was shocked to death. Later, composed herself and brought her hands around him with lots of hesitation.)

Neil: (As he felt her hands around him, he stiffened slightly and relaxed instantly, and snuggled more into her embrace.)

Sammy: (Felt finally home. She welcomed the warmth that he gave her.)

Neil: (Pulling her more close to him.) Marry me, Sam… Please…

Sammy: (Let out the tears that were pricking her eyes. After few seconds, she nodded her head vigorously, against him.)

Neil: (Not understanding exactly, pulled her out of his embrace and asked.) What…?

Sammy: (Nodded her once again.) Okay…

Neil: Okay…? What okay…?

Sammy: (Giggling with tears running down her eyes.) IDIOT… Radzie is absolutely right, YOU ARE AN IDIOT… (Pulling him close with his collar.) But, you’re MY IDIOT…

Neil: (Was still confused and looking at her keenly, for her to continue.)

Sammy: (Pressing her right palm on his madly beating heart, and locking her eyes again with her idiot.) Yes… Yes, I’ll marry you…

Neil: (Let out a long breath that he had been holding for a long time.) Finally… (And placed his forehead against hers and giggled a little.)

Sammy: (Too giggled. At once they were calm.) Sir…

Neil: (Shot his eyes open.) Seriously, Sam…? SIR…?

Sammy: (Opening her eyes, shrugging a little.) Got used to it…

Neil: (Rolling his eyes, he pulled her close by her waist.)

Sammy: (Widened her eyes being shocked.)

Neil: (Chuckled at her shocked face.) Call me SIR once again, and you’ll be punished…

Sammy: Punished…?

Neil: (With mischievous running his eyes.) Hmmm… Punished… And I can show you a demo right now…

Sammy: (Seeing the mischievous in his eyes.) No, that’s fine… I have to go, I remembered some work…

Before she could pull out from his arms,

Neil: (Pulled her closer.) Where you think you’re going…?

Sammy: Sir…

Neil: (Moved his face close to her face.)

Sammy: (Her breath quickened.)

Neil: (Could feel her quickened breath and the tight hold that she had on his shoulders. He smiled inside and proceeded further.)

Sammy: Sir… (And closed her eyes tight when she felt his breath near her lips.)

Neil: (Didn’t move further and admired her features. Smiling, pulled his head up and kissed her forehead deep and long.)

Sammy: (Smiled with eyes closed.)

Neil: (Seeing her smile, he kissed her nose tip.) I’m leaving you for now… I won’t be this good boy always…

Sammy: (Giggled and buried her head in the crook of his neck.)

After a while of silence, still being in each other’s embrace,

Neil: Why were you running away from me, Sam…?

Sammy: (Was initially shocked with his sudden question, but decided to speak her heart out.) I didn’t want you to regret your decision…

Neil: (Confusion occupied his mind, still decided to maintain silence and waited for her to continue.)

Sammy: I have a harsh past, Sir… I didn’t want to pull you into it too… I thought you would let go of me at one point… But today, when you had me so close to your heart, I couldn’t have my emotions on check and confessed it to you… You’re the best thing happened to me in my life after a long time, Sir…

Neil: (Kissed her forehead.)

Sammy: (Taking a deep breath.) I Love You too, Neil…

Neil: (His heart skipped a beat. Tightening his hold around her waist, pulled her closer.)

Sammy: Why do you call me Sam…?

Neil: Why…? You didn’t like…?

Sammy: (Snuggling closer in his warmth.) I love that sound…

Neil: Good… Because I’m not going to change…

Sammy: Cocky…

Neil: Hmmm… Only for you…

Sammy: Urgh… Cheesy are we now…?

Neil: (Breathed the words, caressing her ear.) Only for you…

Sammy: (Blushed hard and hid her face in his chest.)

Neil: (Chuckled.)

Sammy: (Pulling out of his embrace.) I think I should go now… We are left out only with few hours… And we still have few works pending…

Neil: Ok… (Pecking her forehead.) Go, but come back to me as soon as you’re free… And no more running away…

Sammy: (Offered him a heart melting smile.) Not anymore… I’m hooked with you for life time…

Neil: Good to hear…

With baby steps, she pulled out from his hold and walked towards the door. At once she reached the door, she turned and walked out to her destination.

Neil: (Letting out a long breath.) Thank God… Finally, my love story is on track…

“And we are happy about it…”

Neil: (Turned towards the door, to find his brothers with a wide smile.)

Arjun: Remember one thing always, I see her hurt you’re dead…

Neil: (Grinning.) Love you too…

Arjun: (Making faces.) You’re mad…

All chuckled.

Lots of Love,
