Breaking The Silence- A Kriyyam ff part 8

Breaking The Silence -part 8

She had been rolling the chapatis meanwhile Mani roasting them. She loved rolling chapatis and at home too in vacations she always made sure she was the one to do that.mum too was relived for a few days. And she recalled it had been a week since she last talked to her.
As she started making the next one bell chimed and came ma, papa and Yuvani together. “They all together, looks like Papa picked them along.”she thought to herself.
And her queries got answered soon as Ma herself came into the kitchen, “I asked Yuvraj and he was already coming to home so we all came together, Krishna after you are done come into the hall I have to talk something and Mani take out all the spices and groceries from the bag and make us all tea.”
“Okay ma,”saying that Mani went for the said and Krishna too resumed her job.
After freshening up suhani and yuvraj settled on sofa with the tea and Yuvraj asked , “where is Sayyam,isn’t he back from office yet? Let me call him.”he took out his phone. “No, no papa, he has come already actually he was tired so thought to take a nap but now it’s already an hour, I’ll tell him to come.” And she turned to call him.But he was already coming and he looked quite well now.
“all together, something important.” He enquired.
“Actually Sayyam ,Krishna we have to go Jabalpur, Krishna do you remember Shashi aunty the plump good lady ?” suhani asked
“Yeah ma” Krishna nodded. “actually they wanted me and Yuvraj to visit them for a few days so if you two are okay then we were thinking to go there.”
“Okay ma.” Sayyam said and Krishna too nodded “also Mani is here so it won’t be a big problem. “he completed.
“But mumma ,I just came yesterday and you guys are already going,” Yuvani seemed upset.
“we aren’t going alone my girl we are taking you along.” said Yuvraaj side hugging her.
“Oh wow……so you are saying only brother- and Suhani cut her before she could have said something horrible again.“Yuvani can please go and bring your dad’s medicines ,its already time for dinner.”
“I’ll set the table meanwhile” said Krishna and rushed to kitchen.
Here in kitchen she was taking out the plates but her heart was already in trouble thinking she and Sayyam would be alone and again her alternate brains kept giving their points.
B1: “ but Mani too is here ,and its not something big.” Are you the first wife going to live alone with your husband for a few days and gosh! he is your husband for god sake”
B2: “ but we have never lived all alone, just me and him,”
B1: “everything has its first someday. Also don’t you just exaggerate things, couples keep waiting for some alone time.”
“But I am not just everyone and I agree I have fears” and Suhani came to her, “ to whom you are talking Krishna?” and the plate slipped from her hand but she balanced it before it touched the kitchen platform.
“To no one ma,”she was embarrassed.
“Krishna you would manage na. we can go after a few months too, it’s a new place for you but honestly I decided this for you two only, due to Sayyam being busy you two couldn’t go somewhere but as no one would be there you two can be yourself for a few days and maybe would be more open towards this relationship .” she completed and Krishna’s cheeks turned pink on this revelation.
“Now if you have taken out the plates we can set the table,” smiling she enquired and Krishna nodded “she couldn’t have get a better second mother after her mother than this lady.”she silently thought to herself and they started for the dinner.

After changing into one comfortable kurti of hers she came inside the room and found Sayyam was already back from ma’s room and playing that candy crush maybe on his phone, the expression he made confirmed her about that.Moisturizing her palms and feet she thought to comb her hairs but due to one certain presence in her room she thought otherwise.
And she suddenly remembered she was setting their cupboard when Yuvani had came and it was left in half way round. So she went towards it and started finishing her job.
“You love tidiness, I mean you have done this nearly 50 times in these months. Not that I am complaining.” He said without lifting his eyes from the screen.
“Yeah, Archana used to say I was addicted to tidiness.” and she remembered those days when she had nearly declared her a victim of OCD and she used to defend herself saying it was good to keep the atmosphere around clean and she grinned reminiscing those days.
When suddenly her diary fell from the stack of her clothes and taking it in her hands she made a note to write again ,she suddenly was not writing from a few days. and keeping it in the side drawer of her bed she took the book she was reading earlier as sleep was nowhere near her eyes.pulling the comforter she opened the book and picked up the page she had left .
“so you write a diary ! no wonder .” he said putting his phone on the side table.
“yeah, I was so shy to talk and the persons I was close too were not available always to talk so I kind of started telling my heart to my diary.” She said recalling a few instances when she hopelessly wanted someone to talk but no one was there. “ also I feel good after writing everything I am feeling.”
“You are amazing Krishna, also we can talk anytime.” He offered and in return she said, “ thank you for the offer, I’ll keep it in mind next time but I guess old habits die hard.” And smiled .
Leaning to her side he quipped, “Forge Your Future” I thought you would be reading some romantic novel or so, I mean girls love that.” He defended himself when found her looking straight to his eyes.
“Don’t scare me with those eyes Krishna,” he dramatically said. And becoming straight on her backbone she said, “I have read many romantic novels all these years, I too used to love those but now as I am growing up I have generated a love for inspirational books, can say my taste has improved since last few years.”
“do you love reading ?” she asked .
“no ,actually I was never into it,I was more into football and cricket ,never got time for books you know how boys are.” He answered.
“Yeah, Advik too was always running to the fields after school ,he used to be in such a hurry that if given a choice he was going to skip the lunches too,” she remembered a memory at least 10 or 12 years old and her eyes filled with tears and in order to hide them from him she suddenly came out of bed and said “I think I left the clothes in balcony itself,I’ll be back in a moment.”
Coming into the balcony she left the tears to run freely she knew they would help pouring her pains out from inside her heart.
She thought to call him but then he would know she was upset or missing him and with him being hundreds of mile apart it wasn’t possible to meet him. when suddenly she sensed one familiar presence behind her and tried to wipe her cheeks . “ I didn’t joke when said we can talk anytime.” He reminded her gently “What happened, you missing him? Call him.” He suggested.
“No,no I am fine,also it is nothing. He would be baffled for such a small thing, I’ll call him in morning.” And her voice broke at the end suggesting she was stifling the tears and in no time he engulfed her in his arms and hugging him tightly she burst into tears and he kept caressing her hairs.
After a while she broke the hug but kept her hands on his waist ,and he asked , “ are you feeling better?”
“yeah,” she said and wiped her cheeks, they remained silent for a while gazing the lone lanes .
Then she said , “ sorry, for troubling you. But sometimes tears just don’t stop.” And he sensed she was again going to cry when he said, “by the way you said you came to take the clothes ,I don’t see any cloth here.”
And she was distracted, “ummm,” and she tried to go into the room when he caught her arm and pulled her to himself. “ its okay, I know it was an excuse.” And again they were so close.
Her heart started beating fast when he encircled her waist and pulled her more to himself, “do you know what I want right now,” and she forgot everything she was thinking previously.
“I don’t know,” she said looking away from those sinfully intense eyes who were staring her with a known passion.
But as he narrowed the arms she looked up as a reflex and found him staring her lips and they didn’t realize what overpowered them but she never knew when he cupped her face, when she locked her arms around him and when their lips met .
it was ethereal, it was rain, it greened her soul with new colors, and made her feel something she had never felt. Moments were meant to pass slowly cause any way they have stopped for them.
