Breaking the silence – part 12
“Hey, when you came?” she asked already embarrassed. “Well, when you were talking about your insanely hot husband.” He mused and she searched for some covers to hide.
“Actually Aditi, you remember her?” she asked. “she talks nonsense, leave it.”
“Oh how can I forget that lovely girl, she had been too adamant on returning my shoes, she wanted me to sing that song but thanks to you I was saved that day. By the way what had you whispered to her .i remember she had agreed then in a second.” He smiled remembering and she turned stilled recalling that certain thing.
“I was talking to you Krishna,” he told her lost frame.
“Actually I had asked her to stop whining like a kid .” she told keeping his bag in the corner table she couldn’t possibly tell him what she had said that day.
“by the way who is this handsome guitar ?” he asked sitting on bed.
“Some guy in his guitar classes. She is too dramatic, every day she have a new crush; I don’t know how she manages.” she said in a breath and mumbled something about girls these days.
“So what say, you decided which movie?” he asked as he loosened his tie knot.
“I didn’t think about that, also I don’t know what genre you enjoy.” She said hesitantly.
“Okay let’s decide together.” He said getting up.
“You change; I’ll be back in a minute.” She told and turned to leave.
________*___________*_________
She was busy taking out the vegetable stuffed sandwiches from the microwave and precisely pouring the tamarind and green sauce on his ones.
“well, you surely love cooking, also I think I need to join the gym.” He said observing himself.
“Why, you look good, I mean fit.” she asked checking him out for a split second as she increased the temperature of induction to give the tea a boil.
“hey, I have got something for you, I’ll be back in a moment.” He left in a hurry.
As he entered the hall he found her on sofa waiting for him, “I hope you like it,” he extended a book.
With a look saying she didn’t understand she took it and as she looked at the cover she looked to him confused.
“don’t judge the book with the cover.”he said sheepishly.
“But seriously…… “ Death with interruptions”, I don’t remember a moment when I troubled you.” She acted like recalling any such moment.
“Now don’t think too much and read this someday, someone told me it was a bestseller.” He told admiringly.
“sorry, I was just having fun and thank you for the gift.”she told him smilingly And staring him for a while she thought he was too innocent sometimes like when munching on his favourite sandwich.
“Are we not watching the movie today,” she asked opening the review page of book.
“actually tomorrow is Sunday so you can read it tomorrow and today we can watch the movie…” he sounded like he was giving him an idea.
“oh yeah, I had forgotten.” She rested on the backrest.
“Say Mani to enjoy a holiday tomorrow, and lets go to Gurgaon we will be back by the evening.” He suggested out of blue.“I mean it’s already Sunday and no one is here, also in a few days who knows we get busy and then…you know maybe we won’t get time to enjoy Sundays.” He said.
And her heart skipped a beat recalling their last outing together, and then that kiss, was it a ploy for something.
Brushing that thought away she extended him his tea “okay, I will call her.”
“So English or Hindi?” he asked connecting their TV with wifi and clicking on the Netflix icon.
“Choose anyone you like.” She said sitting properly with her tea .
“golmal 4, masti….”he suggested.
“I don’t like comedy and they have surpassed the levels.”she said sipping her tea.
“aditi was right you are so uncool Krishna.” He teased her.
And with a look that said whatever she resumed sipping her tea.
“Okja ?” he suddenly said.
“sorry, come again.” She apologized.
“I was saying Okja, it is some movie with pig cloning and experimentation, maybe you like.”he asked reading the reviews and description.
“I have studied zoology and botany all my life but it doesn’t mean I am that uncool.” She said smiling.
“so little women ?”
“I have watched it.”
“How to change the world”
“is it a movie?”
“yes.”
“okay” she said. But then she found him a little skeptical and her queries got answered soon.
“don’t you think little serious for our first movie together ?” he asked .
“I was thinking the same.” And they laughed.
And it went on for a while where every other movie was either already watched by one or they had some issue with that.
“Krishna, I am done. it was never that tough , I mean we are trying from last twenty minutes and still we haven’t zeroed on a single movie.” He said putting the remote away. “this way our night will end and this movie selection would still be incomplete.”
“Sayyam stop! read the description about that movie.” She gestured towards the movie with the poster of an old couple lying on bed hugging each other.
And he looked directly to her face, “seriously Krishna, we are going to watch this movie, we are just starting in our life and this movie.”
“Another Year !! look at the name itself, it shows the tragedy it holds. No, we aren’t watching this movie.” He declared.
“Hey, it doesn’t hold the tragedy; I feel it’s the movie we are watching.” She tried softly.
“To take the tips for our older versions?” he joked.
“ I just felt we should watch it.” She said calmly.
“Okay then done, after dinner we are watching it.” He said adding it their My List and switching to some news channel.
__________*___________*__________
She had been waiting for him after dinner so they could start the movie and why he was taking this much of time she was clueless.
Waiting for a few minutes more and done shuffling all those music channels she stood up,ready to look for him.
And entering the room she found him talking with someone on phone and it seemed it was some close friend because of the lack of formalities so without disturbing him she came and switched off the television.
He saw herself entering the room and without changing she entered into the bed, took the book and switching the side lamp on, she was soon engrossed into the book and did she look ……upset? He thought to himself.
So ending the call He looked to her side and asked for jug, she gestured towards the table but didn’t say a thing. So it was confirmed she was upset but about what. And then it hit her he took nearly half an hour and it was sure she was upset about it.
“Are we watching the movie tomorrow,” he asked sheepishly and she looked up, “oh, you are done. Let’s go.” Not an expected reply.
“If you are tired we can watch tomorrow.” He added taking the couch,
“okay.” And she turned her gaze towards the book.
To get her attention he switched on the woofers and increased the volume, he knew she didn’t like music when she was reading a book but then he wanted it to happen he mused inwards.
And she looked up from her book and he said, “I thought it was very much of a quiet atmosphere.”And nodding a quick okay she again resumed reading.
It was much hard to get her attention than he was thinking so he kept thinking some other way staring her unknowingly. When she suddenly looked up and as she found him staring herself, she became conscious about herself, he too looked away and she remembered she had to change so twisting her hairs into a bun she left the bed.
“Are you upset.” He asked as she crossed the couch.
“no, why you felt so?” she too asked.
“no,actually your nose looks a bit red and swollen.” He replied with a straight face.
And she looked her reflection in the mirror and then she understood he was trying to lift his mood up.
she looked back to him who seemed busy scrolling his phone and taking his phone she asked “will you please show me where it is red and swollen.” She teased.
And keeping his hands on her shoulders from behind he took her to the dressing mirror and as they found their reflection he asked, “don’t lie I knew you were upset. Sorry, it was one important phone call, I could have told you.” and she turned to his side, “okay, don’t make me wait next time, especially when we are going to watch a movie.”she said looking into his eyes.
“okay my queen.” And then they smiled.
“can I ask you something?” he asked.
“yes…”she waited.
“have you ever drawn someone’s eyes.” He asked.
And she became alarmed and thought to go and check her side of drawer but was encaged between him and the dressing table.
“did you see that?” she asked a bit embarrassed .
“now tell me,have you?” He asked again.
“yeah, I keep drawing eyes which I find unique, mysterious and…she started in a low voice looking downwards.
“And…..he encouraged her.
“And attractive.” and she tried to just run away but suddenly the arm cage was more tight.
“So you find my eyes attractive.”and she turned beetroot.
“Say it.” he nudged her.and this close vicinity was killing her.
“Actually, there is something in your eyes, they seem so expressive yet they hide emotions behind, everytime I look into your eyes ….and she was feeling she had said these things to someone someday and suddenly that drunk night came to her.and with a little force she broke the stupor and moved away but he caught her hand and coming behind her whispered into her ears , “you have told me all this that night itself so no need to get embarrassed.”
And closing her eyes she tried to brush the embarrassment covering her way.
When he came in front of her and lifting her chin said, “look up please and…….
She looked into his eyes “i too feel the same way. Maybe we should just let it engulf us.” And she understood his words.
that’s when his arms pulled her more to himself. And his warm hands caressed her cheeks and with no warning his lips touched her lips.
If last time was a gentle it was an urgent one, with all the passion, all the feelings and it aroused some more feelings.
suddenly he broke the kiss and shuffling through his pant pocket took out his phone. She looked up confused. “this music is spoiling the mood.” Switching the Bluetooth off He again pulled her and she smiled inwardly on this.
“well, I thought this music was helping, so much of a quiet environment !!!”She repeated his same words.
“oh!! so someone is teasing me, let me make this room a noisy one.” and in no time she was scooted up. She gasped with this sudden act. “hey, we both will fall,please keep me down.”
And she was indeed kept down but not on her feet but on her back and the mattress touched her .
Leaning on her he looked directly into her eyes and asked, “I hope you too don’t like a quiet environment.” he said huskily.
And turning away from his gaze she said, “can we just switch off the lights.”and she was ready to take the step.
In no time the lights were switched off.And she felt his breath on her neck. Movie long forgotten, book long forgotten, the little anger long forgotten. She was scared who knows, he was impatient who knows , were they perfect who knows but the room wasn’t silent anymore.
