Anamika - Rebirth of the first wife

Chapter 3 - Doom

It was night time already and the eclipse also have started. Anamika is simply standing in her balcony staring at the night sky, enjoying the breeze. Now she knows that she can be the game changer in this lifetime. And she already planned her first step which will start tomorrow. One step at a time.

When she is thinking all this, she felt a hand snaking around her waist. Then she felt a kiss on her neck. Anamika couldn't speak anything. Pratap noticed her breathing heavily and shivering in his arms. He tightened his hold on her and said, "Why are you so nervous? You are behaving like, how you were on our first night. Like a new bride".

Pratap may not know, how true his words are defining her situation right now. "But I like it", he added huskily near her ears which made her cheeks turn red in shyness. He turned her around and caressed her reddened cheeks by his thumb while his other hand still kept her in place through her waist. Her eyes were still looking down, which made him tilt her head up by pushing her chin up.

He kissed her forehead which made her close her eyes in satisfaction. Seeing her serene smile, automatically brought a smile on his face. Suddenly he said, "Thank you". Anamika looked at him confused. To which he replied, "For the morning incident. For being my old Anamika who is her own Savior. For not giving space to the usual negative thoughts about our Child".

Anamika just smiled at him and both were simply staring at each other. Slowly his thumbs which were caressing her blushed cheeks, moved to her lips which once again made her breathing heavy. Pratap leaned towards her lips while she closed her eyes. And the distance between their lips was closed by him, who took her lips in a passionate kiss.

Anamika felt a tear leaving her eyes, feeling his kiss after decades(since the previous lifetime). After breaking the kiss, Pratap wiped her tears which made her open her eyes. Both were looking at each other, when Anamika suddenly said, "I love you Pratap". He smiled and replied, "I love you too, my Queen".

Anamika's feelings at this time cannot be expressed in words. Hearing the same words from him, which stopped after his growing intimacy towards his second wife, has brought an unknown happiness which she thought she cannot experience again. And this once again made her resolve stronger. That is to take everything she deserves and not waiting for fate.

Anamika took the initiative and kissed him again. Without breaking the kiss, Pratap carried her in bridal style and went inside their chamber. For Pratap, it was just like any other night with his wife. But for Anamika, it is not. And it could not be described.

The next morning came with birds chirping and the sun rays slowing rising through the clouds. Inside Anamika's chamber, the two love birds are still sleeping without any worries.

Anamika is the one who got disturbed with the sun rays first and woke up. Even though she is tired, the smile was not leaving her face. After looking at the sun rays coming through the window, she closed her eyes for a moment and prayed for a better day. Then her eyes went to the person who is sleeping beside her. His upper body is still naked, since he only wore his lower clothes back when they dressed up after their love making.

Anamika's smile faltered a little thinking that she was not able to allow this intimacy in their previous lifetime, even though he had tried till the end to gain her trust. She herself thought many times, as to why she was so sensitive in this case, his case. Her mother told her once that it is her ego which stopped her from accepting him, which Anamika also thought to be true. Later she realized that it is not just ego but also her love. Because she has only limited number of people to love and trust, which makes her overly sensitive in their issues.

Suddenly she felt a hand stretching her lips to make her smile, in other words, to recover her faltering smile. Anamika came out of her thoughts and looked beside her, to find him awake. "What are you thinking deeply, that too, so early in the morning?", Pratap asked in his still sleepy voice. Anamika smiled again sensing the new reality and kissed his forehead, "Good Morning Pratap".

"Good morning. Now don't divert my question", Pratap replied to her. Anamika sighed and said, "It's really nothing. Stop worrying now". Pratap didn't probe further and let her leave the bed.

Anamika went to her balcony and saw the sun rise. In her previous life, along with this sun rise, her doom started. Because this is the day when Ranisa discussed about the second marriage since the Pandit ji would have said the same yesterday. But this time, Pandit ji didn't come due to eclipse which says more about the change in upcoming events. And now the doom is not hers.
