Finding You
Chapter 10: Love
..
A grumbling Nimisha was pacing in and around her room and balcony. Her mobile clutched tight in her hands. She was worried sick and angry altogether.
3 days and No reply to her calls.
Kabir had gone somewhere for some business deals and had not returned home from three days straight and every time she tried calling him, she could just hear the electronic voice of the woman telling her the phone was switched off.
His parents had tried to calm her down saying that sometimes he usually did things like this but nothing could help her relax.
Mumbling something under her breath and cuddling the mobile close to her heart she sat on a chair kept in the balcony and clumsily drifted off to sleep, for she had not slept properly in the past two nights.
..
..
"Haan Maa, mein thik hun. Aap itni chinta mat kara karo.. Nimisha? Usse mein samjhata hun na. Aap so jao, good night"
Kabir has finally returned home and was a victim to all the questions his mother bombarded on him.
He persuaded his mother to sleep and went to find his wife back in their room.
He cheekily opened the door, planning to spring a surprise on her but he himself was surprised as he did not find her in the room.
He checked the bathroom and finally the balcony and found her sleeping in a uncomfortable position on the chair. He know he was to blame himself.
But he spotted something and smiled. She was wearing a shirt which he had gifted her. It was oversize and wasn't very pretty. It was the first time he had seen her in that shirt.
He sat on his knees beside her and took her hands in his and kissed them.
He could see tension lines formed across her forehead and the puffiness under her eyes. Soon he put a arm around her shoulder and scooped her into his arms effortlessly. She mumbled something but was still asleep.
He placed the pillows carefully under her head before laying beside her. He snuggled her closer to him.
..
Nimisha could feel warmth and wetness altogether.
She could feel the wetness on her forehead and felt it travel till her cheeks. What was wrong?
She forced her eyes open and found an indistinct figure leaning over her. Kabir.
She stayed staring him half eye opened as he placed kisses all over her face.
Her mind quickly recollected memories of the past 3 days. She jerked him and sat upright and looked at him, asking for explanations.
Kabir: "Nimisha, kaisi ho tum?"
He plainly asked, trying to place a hand over her cheek.
Nimisha couldn't understand where she should start from.
Nimisha: " aapko pata hai mein kitni pareshaan thi, aapka phone switched off kyun tha-"
Kabir tried to speak.
Nimisha: "-kahan they aap?"
She asked narrowing her eyes.
Kabir: "Mein tumhein batakar toh gaya tha ki kuch din Delhi jaa raha hun, meri baat toh suno-"
Nimisha: "oh god Kabir. aap seriously aese baat kar rahein hein jaise kuch hua hi nahi-"
Kabir: "..wo actually Nimisha. Mera wallet aur phone metro mein chori hogya-"
Nimisha was surprised, she gasped.
Kabir: "mujhe sab kuch deactivate karvana pada aur call karne ka time nahi mila."
Nimisha looked at him. Still angry and worried.
Kabir: "Mujhe bhookh lagi hai, Nimisha.."
Nimisha quickly moved to descend from the bed to go and get something for him. He held her wrist.
Nimisha: "chodiye-, jabhi toh kuch laa paungi khane ke liye."
Kabir stood up, close to her.
Kabir: "mera matlab yeh nahi tha ki mujhe khaana khana hai"
He leaned in and placed his lips over hers and kissed her till they were breathless but before she could take in air, he lifted her off the ground and placed her head over the pillows again and leaned over her, his one hand caressing her hair, the other going down her waist till her knees. He slips his hands under her knees and pulls her closer, and tighter.
Nimisha: "aapko pata bhi hai mein kitini pareshaan thi-"
He again kissed her to silence her.
Nimisha: "aapko mujhse nahi apni coffee shop se shaadi kar leni chahiye thi-"
Kabir: "I am sorry"
He whispered heavily and dug his face into her neck. He kisses her neck several times.
Nimisha places her hands over his chest and slightly pushes him. He sits straight and she too sits up beside him.
Kabir: "Nimisha, trust me. wahan par mein itna busy hogaya tha ki time nahi mila mujhe, I am sorry"
Nimisha looks at him, trying to persuade herself to trust him and forgive him.
He leans closer and inhales the scent of her hair and kisses the side of her head. Nimisha wraps arms around him and places her head on his shoulder.
Nimisha: "promise kijiye aap mere saath fir aesa nahi karengey-"
Kabir smiles. "Promise, love"
She smiled and he knew that she had already forgiven him. He quickly again crashed his lips over hers, completely pushing her to bed and covering her body with his.
She soon feels his hands are fumbling over her shirt buttons and soon they are all undone. She blushes as he makes patterns with his hands down her waist.
He placed big, wet kisses on her jaw and kissed her earlobe. He pulls the comforter over themselves as she shivers under him. He held her hand and kissed her and she closed her eyes, savoring the feeling of being around him.
..
Later in the morning,
Nimisha woke with the alarm and found herself curled into his arms. Her head placed over his chest. She smiled and looked at him, quickly turned the alarm off. She placed a kiss on his cheek and smiled looking at him.
He woke up and wrapped both his arms around her waist again, pulling her to himself.
"I love you, love" he whispered in her ears, kissing her forehead and she smiled.
"I love you more, Kabir"
She said cuddling closer.
