Chapter Thirty
Two
Kiss Me In The
Rain
Naku was confused, after the look she received from Gaurav she
knew she couldn't avoid the situation any longer, and so spoke with him soon and
told him she was ready to train, but before she left it at that, she filled him
in on the deal she'd just made with Dutta, Saab thought he was prepared for what
she needed to tell him, but Naku knew better, and this made her stomach churn.
But before she could spill all the beans, Gaurav had interrupted her by breaking
the most shocking news she'd heard yet.
Dutta couldn't help but feel uneasy about what it was that Naku
had wanted to tell him, I mean why couldn't she just tell me now, he knew it was
too late to argue with himself, as he'd already told Naku he was ready to wait,
but the truth was he wasn't, and this was beginning to eat him up like a virus
from inside, he looked up towards the ceiling and for a moment and thought to
himself...if there is a God I could damn sure use a little light shined this
way ...right about now, laughed Dutta to himself. So now I'm hoping there's
Nakku's Bappa around to secretly help me, he joked silently, ...I must be
desperate.
As he was tossing and turning Dutta couldn't seem to get any
sleep, although him and Naku weren't sharing a bed, sharing the room with her
seemed to be enough for him so far, which was unusual for him, as there was a
time when there was a hot girl within a 5 mile radius of him, and he
would without doubt manage to end up next to her, minus the clothes the next
morning, but now it was so different, even being so close to Naku he never felt
a tinge of lust run through him, yes at times it got tempting but he couldn't
use the words lust with Naku they just didn't go together, but wanting to have
that closeness of intimacy made him feel secure in the sense that she really was
his, ...but yet without touching her, he could sit there and watch her all
night long, until the sunlight broke through the windows, telling him it was
time to go, but yet feeling unsatisfied with however much time he had with her,
he was beginning to doubt if even one lifetime would be enough to spend with
her. Even when he was outside on work basis, all he could think of was Naku,
the smallest things in life made her happy, and this made him more happier,
amongst crowds, all he could see was Naku, even today when girls are still
trying to hit on him, he can't even feel the slightest pull towards them, it's
like Naku is, and for a long time has been the only the girl in the world, and
than as if teasingly Bappa's magical powers had lit a light bulb in his head
with a 'ting' sound for effect, that Dutta realised that it didn't matter what
Naku needed to tell him, her life was his now, and so what if whatever she
needed to tell him was bad, when you open up to someone you automatically make
that decision for letting the bad in with the good, and all of a sudden as if
his worries were gone, the problem had seemed to have disappeared, but he would
still keep up his bargain of the deal, what Naku needed to tell him, was clearly
important to her, and so he would still wait for her to open up to him, and
instead of panicking about her news he would work on keeping himself patient
instead, there thought Dutta, it wasn't that bad, see you're a natural, he
showed off to himself...actually maybe I should change that to genius, he smiled
proudly, while putting both his arms behind his head and laying back on his
pillow, shirtless, waiting for his sleep to kick into him sometime this
century.
All night Naku could not sleep, tossing and turning, Babi was
pretty comfortable besides her, her light snoring was proof of that, so she
peeked over Babi, to see if Gaurav was asleep, and she whispered his name out
twice. What do you want said Gaurav, as if he knew she would be awake to bug
him, Gaurav you're not really serious about the concept are you, you know I
can't do that please, think of another way around it...
Gaurav had immediately sat up with his elbow resting on his one
knee that was deliberately kept up to support it, yeah Naku...actually I'm 100%
serious about this, so you better be too, 'cause let me tell you one thing I'm
going to working my butt off in trying to make you win, and you will win, but
don't think I don't know what you're up to, and than for a second he laid back
on his slightly aggressive tone, ...I mean I'm happy for you Naku, I really and
truly am, but the rate you're going you're forcing my to be the villain here,
you have to quit fooling around with Dutta okay, he warned with one raised
eyebrow, you're not kids from high school okay, I know it's a young love kind of
thing, but these things distract you big time, and believe me Naku I'm making it
easier for you this way, because when you're up dancing on that stage, than
you'll know that my way was best, because if you don't go down that road, than
you'll have a lot of explaining to do, and from what I know of you,, although
talking is your hobby, words WILL fail you Naku, he emphasised on will, and
without hearing another word from Naku he dozed off to sleep.
Naku couldn't get any sleep, she tried to close her eyes and
tried hard to think of all the reasons Saab might not be angry at her, what if
Saab considered her fair complexion to be a betrayal, what if he didn't want to
understand what her problem was, what if even after hearing her story he might
just think of it like a story being told from gold digger's mouth, what if he
just chose not to believe her at all. She opened her eyes and took a deep
breath, and sat up, so maybe...just maybe...Saab might actually understand her
problem, he might be okay about it after all...she tried to convince herself,
without any success, but with what Gaurav told her, he might have just made the
whole face revelation thing a whole lot harder, and she was beginning to doubt
herself, whether this was a good idea or not, but what Gaurav was saying was
absolutely right, she needed to win, otherwise she may as well give up right
now, it was her that needed to win the first prize to pay Morey off...oh god,
thought Naku as if things can't get any worse, her truth of her complexion being
all out, or Morey.
She couldn't sit there any longer, she needed to get her
mind off things, sleep refused to come her direction. What could she do at this
time of the night, so she went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea,
while humming one of her favourite songs to herself, and than so badly wished
she could go to Roops' room to play her keyboard, her music was the only thing
that could calm her nerves right now, but than she remembered that there was a
grand piano in Saab's bar, and Saab would surely be sleeping by now, and with a
few drinks gulped down he weren't about to wake up, and being in the middle
floor she was pretty sure no one would, and with slightly naughty look on her
face she ran up the stairs into Saab's now isolated bar, and as she prepared the
piano for herself she touched the keys in a rather seductive way, while biting
the bottom of her lip.
The song she wanted to play was one of the two songs she'd never
played before anyone, she always felt that this song had it's own soul to it,
which could only be felt when you were in love, and providing the time she began
playing this song, she was most definitely not in love, and never had been, she
kind of always had her own fantasy with this song, it was stupid but weird, but
still it was what she'd dreamt of, but the most annoying part was that it would
never come true, because of course her stupid colour which always found a way to
get in way of the things she most loved, and let a out huge sigh and and thought
that now it would get in the way of her true love that she shared with her one
and only Saab, as she closed her eyes, she imagined...or tried to dream of her
fantasy with Saab in mind, and played the song from Batman Forever, which again
she'd watched with Gaurav, but never told him that she could play the song from
that movie.
She closed her eyes, and let her memories of her and Saab flash
before her eyes like they were on a old tape roll in her mind, some were good
and some were bad, but like Saab said it was because of the bad they eventually
had the good memories. She tapped the keys lightly, and let the mellow music
course through her ears, and it had miraculously begun soothing her.
When they were in the jungle she remembered how Saab had
wanted to kiss her, but she avoided him and since that time had been trying her
hardest to keep up with that. What was she supposed to tell him, that she'd
never been kissed, or she didn't know how to, and she was afraid to tell him
that, ...oh and the fact that she was as shy as hell, and maybe if it were up to
her she would get through the rest of her life without being kissed, but she
doubted that Saab would let her survive that long, the feelings and emotions
that were running through her mind were beginning to arouse her, the moments
that she'd spent with him, his touch that was still somewhere lingering on her
skin, and his presence had filled her body with a certain fragrance that only
she could sense all over her, she was starting to lose herself in her fantasy of
her dreams, and for one moment wished that she could know what it felt like to
have his lips all over hers, where every second of that kiss would hold so much
passion that would send shivers up her spine in just imagining it...
Dutta couldn't sleep at all, maybe it was time for a drink, he
finally decided, and didn't bother putting his shirt on as no one would be awake
at this time of the night, ...how he wished that Naku's Bappa could send Naku to
him, the truth was he needed her more than he needed the drink, looks like Naku
has officially taken the place of alcohol in his life, and now that comes
second, ...well second is still good, he tried to reason with his priorities.
Well there was no way Naku would break any rules to come and meet him, she was a
sensible girl and she would never step out of her comfort zone, but than you
couldn't stop someone from dreaming, he thought, as he made his way down to his
bar, and shocked to see the sight before him.
Was he actually becoming Bappa's favourite person in the
world all of a sudden, it's almost like 'ask and you shall receive' as stupid as
it sounded it seemed to be true right now, Naku was before him and had her eyes
closed behind the piano he'd bought for Roops ages ago which she refused to
play, and now all of a sudden it was like it was in the right place at the right
time, only for this moment, with no one else but them. He stayed quiet, and
watched her thinking something to herself for a long time, and than in a sudden
but swift motion she'd began playing a song which he thought was very familiar,
...of course it was the all time classic 'a kiss from a rose'...indeed thought
Dutta, out of all songs in the world she chooses a song with the word kiss in
it...which is exactly what she refuses to give him. He moved silently towards
the bottle kept on the small table on one side, and gulped it down while
listening to her play and inched closer behind her, she was so lost in her
thoughts, Dutta was getting turned on by just watching her, which was a first,
he was sure up until today that one needed physical contact to get turned on,
but obviously today he was proven wrong, by none other than his beloved Naku.
He wanted to reach over and feel her lips, taste them, his
breathing seemed to be going slightly off track, like he was being pulled
towards her by a magnetic pull, he suddenly felt an urge to let her hair loose
and entangle his fingers through her thick locks, it was like she was seducing
him without even trying, and to stop himself, he took another large gulp of
Whiskey and shoved it down his throat, which wasn't helping at all, only in
theory, he was so lost in her being lost in her music and whatever she was
thinking about, and the way she was engrossed he so wished in that moment
desperately that she would be thinking about him, and this music was doing what
it did to him, to her too...
While Naku was lost in her imaginings, it felt as if her
thoughts were coming to life, she didn't have to worry about her fingers, they
knew the notes without needing any guidance, and than suddenly she felt her hair
come loose over her her shoulders, without giving it too much thought..thinking
it probably just came out of her loose untied plait, but than she felt it all
leaning over to one side, but scared to open her eyes, she tried not to break
her thoughts, and than she felt a touch...a light touch...his touch, it
didn't need no introduction she knew it was Saab, ...but without the words
actually coming out of her mouth, she whispered Saab.
She felt his stubble over her neck tickling her at places,
causing her to turn her neck towards one side, unknowingly welcoming him in for
more, but that's not where Dutta wanted to be, he longed for her lips and she
knew that, and this time there was no turning back, there was no way she could
avoid him, no hiding.
Without turning her to face him, he stood behind her and reached
for her face instead, and cupped it with one hand, placing his fingers behind
her ear and spread out over her neck, and his thumb securing her cheek holding
her face in place, and for one moment Naku looked into his brown eyes that
wanted her more than anything in the world right now, and he looked into her
blue eyes, that had finally lost all that fear that her gaze constantly held
every time he tried to kiss her, and he knew that she was ready for a taster,
and brushed his lips against hers ever so delicately like her lips were
fragile.
As soon as they'd made that connection, it suddenly seemed like
the most difficult thing in the world to separate from each other, and Naku had
gradually bought her arm around him from the front still seated, around his neck
and managed to ruffle his hair with a her fingers, as Dutta took control and
made their kiss deeper and more passionate, but than applying more force, he
couldn't bring himself to let go of her, and without parting his lips from hers,
he gradually lowered himself and knelt down on his knees and swivelled her
around on the chair to face him, and begun pressing deeper and deeper, making
Naku open her mouth wider and wider and making way for him to deepen his desire,
and from Naku's response he could tell she was enjoying this on a pleasureable
note as much as he was, and not giving Naku a chance to even breathe, causing
her to force her breathing in a few place but not for long, she was having
a difficult time fighting Dutta off, not that she wanted him off, but she did
plan on waking up alive tomorrow, and in order to do that she needed oxygen, on
which she was suddenly on short supply. There was no record on how long they'd
been making out until Dutta had pushed Naku so far back, that she'd had to use
the piano for support, and ended up striking all the keys which struck in a
terrible sound all over the place, not pleasant to the ears at all.
This is when Naku realised that maybe they should stop, and
tried to push Saab away, by placing her hand on his bare chest, which made Naku
want to feel him for a second, and than quickly taking notice of her hand on his
chest, she'd moved it away at the speed of light, and at the same time moving
her few strands of hair behind her ear. Er...you can't do that... she said,
quickly turning her back towards him, not believing how long they'd just made
out. Do what... said Dutta casually but with furrowed eyebrows.
Yo...y...you...you can't kiss me, she finally let out
pathetically, yeh galat hai...
Okaay... replied Dutta warily but finding her nervousness
amusing, ...well first of all, I already have kissed you, ...aur isme galat kuch
nahi hai, tum meri patni ho, ek kiss to kya, hum to sab... but before he
finished Naku gasped aloud, making Dutta stop, knowing that would be her
reaction. And than he walked up to her and said, well if you think what we've
done is bad, than you can just return my kisses he answered while putting both
his hands around her waist and tightening them slowly, and just before their
lips met for a second time, Naku stopped him and broke free.
No, what I mean is this is not how it was supposed
to be, she answered, making Dutta confused, ...are you saying you didn't
enjoy it, asked Dutta finally, because he knew by far that this was definitely
the best kiss he'd had in his life, even though she was a beginner, ..well
actually that may simply be due to the fact that I'm such a good kisser, he
complimented himself, while wiping his lips on both corners, ...damn her lips
tasted better than I could ever imagine.
No of course not, I loved it...and than realising what she
said, she dropped her gaze, mera matlab tha ke, woh... you've never
kissed...right said Dutta, and you didn't expect it to be this way, you had
this fantasy sort of thing, and wanted it to be kind of like a dream thing...am
I right, as he saw Naku's frown ease off her face, he knew he was right, ...so
I'm right he said drinking more of his Whiskey while walking around her, and
this is the first time you've kissed and you were scared as hell to do so,
because everything you've learnt...well ...almost everything you've learnt in
your life has been taught to you by Gaurav...and he paused and looked at her
as she shuffled around with her clothes, feeling a little uneasy with the words
'kiss and 'Gaurav' being used together in the same sentence by her crazily over
possessive husband who happened to hate Gaurav to the wits.
...and considering you've never had that kind of
relationship with Gaurav, he could never show you how to kiss...right...teased
Dutta, which I am most happy to say, words can't express how happy, but
nevertheless I am still trying, so rather than teaching you how to kiss, I've
demonstrated...and trust me this is even better, and if you still haven't got
the hang of it, I can always show you again said Dutta, capturing her in a lock
and pressing his lips against hers and just holding them there for a while, and
than releasing her, allowing his wife to shy away for a while.
So what was it than, he asked as if reading her mind,
...what was what asked Naku in return ? You know, you're fantasy kiss
and all, how did you imagine it to be, ...no way, there is no way I'm
telling you that, she replied instantly. Oh come on, if you don't tell me
than how else do you expect it to come true he pushed further.
...Maybe...because I don't expect it to come true, she steered away from the
subject, and getting up to leave, but before she could leave he held her hand,
and asked her one more time, ...you're going to laugh, so there's no
point...please, I would never...you know the reason I like knowing what
you think is because I love the things you come out with you know, so I know
that if you had this dream of having your first kiss a certain way, than it
would surely be something special, and I want to be part of everything in your
life...even if it's stupid, and I just want you to know that.
Without letting go of her hand Naku had placed herself to sit
beside him with his arm loosely over her shoulder, and she placed her head over
his shoulder and started narrating, while Dutta breathed in the fragrance from
her hair, and kissing her randomly in her hair, just thinking how lucky he was
to have her.
I've always had this weird connection with the rain, I have
loved it since I was little, everyone hated it when it used thunder with
lightning, but not me, I would always welcome it with open arms, it was the...
and she paused, and than rephrased her sentence, ...well it is the sunny days
that I hate, ...lekin Ayi ne mujhe kabhi bhi barsaat mein bheegne nahin diya,
Ayi ne mujhe jitna baarish se door rakha, mera pyar aur lagaav baarish se aur
bhi barta gaya, jaise baarish mein sab kuch azaad ho jaata hai, bilkul waise
mere dil ko bhi yehin ehsaas hota tha, dancing in the rain, feeling every drop
on my skin, it's like it has this new lease of life in it, which it shares with
the people that understand it, and just because of that silly attachment I have
with the raindrops, I have always wanted to be kissed in the rain, knowing it
will never happen, because I'm not allowed anywhere near rainwater, and she
looked up at Dutta ...and no I can't tell you why now, but you will find out
soon, she said as she got up to leave for real this time.
Naku... Dutta called out one last time before she left, mujhe
nahin pata ke tera yeh khwab yah phir sapna...ya jo bhi isse bulate hai, ke sach
hoga ke nahin, I mean it don't sound impossible to me, but for some reason
coming from your mouth it does and only you know why, and I won't question you
on that, but if that really does happen, than I hope I'm the one you're kissing
in the rain, he said, because after today I know it's only ever going to be your
lips that I'm going to be kissing for the rest of my life. Before he finished
his sentence he couldn't help asking, er...waise maine to bata diya how I felt
after kissing you, kya tum mujhe nahin batao gi, he said feeling slightly boyish
and shy for once, causing him to scratch the back of his neck to divert the
attention, for no apparent reason at all.
But Naku just turned around to leave, and than smiled and walked
a few steps backwards, and quickly said, by the way, I hate the smell of
alcohol, and tasting it don't even come close in question, but after tasting it
on your lips even the bitter taste of it couldn't stop me from kissing you back,
I might just become and alcoholic after all, I hope you can handle your drunk
wife, she added and ran away as fast as she could.
Wow thought Dutta, her answer was actually better than mine, how
did she manage to do that, but than again that is what he loved about her, her
honesty given in the most weirdest of examples. Now he finally seemed to feel
tired, and what seemed like the worst night of his life turned out to be one of
the best so far...'so far' was the part he liked best.
Hmm the rain idea wasn't bad at all, where on earth did she
get an idea like that, but than again this is Naku, she doesn't want the moon
and the stars, or first class tickets to sit on a sunny beach somewhere,
damn...so Naku hates the Sun, so beaches are definitely out of the picture for
the honeymoon, which actually cancels out a lot of places, so what kind of place
would I really take her to, well if I can't find the perfect location in the
world, I could always just take her to the shower and let it rain for as long as
she likes, smirked Dutta to himself, which sounded more tempting than anything
else right now, but one thing was for sure, and he smiled to himself, and closed
his eyes.
I'll definitely kiss you in the rain Naku, I'll make sure of it,
and by the looks of today I think your Bappa might just help in achieving that,
who else, huh, he thought to himself, and now all of a sudden I can't wait for
it to rain.
