The Retelling of Love

Part 22 Celebrations!

Pooja's POV

I was so content last night. My happiness knew no bounds. Finally, he understood why I didn't call. Yeah I know that it was my mistake to ignore him but I seriously bore the consequence. And at last he's mine! He's back to me. I love him so much. I really do! Moreover, to add more to my peace, my love has won the Star parivaar award. I'm so proud of him. He's my shine, my pride, apple of my eye. Last night, after a very long time we slept peacefully together, in each other's arms.

I finally woke up and looked at him, he's so handsome, so mine. I began caressing his hairs, so he stirred a bit and he looked at me in half sleep.

"Good morning!" I said.

"Good morning my love."

"Utho! Fresh ho jao."

"Tumhari Tabiyat thik hai?" Shaheer asked while kissing my cheeks.

"I'm much better now, tum ho na to bas mai bhi thik."

"I'm sorry Panchali. It's just because of me. Maine tum par dhyan hi nahi dia. I'm so selfish. Sirf apna gussa, apni narazgi yhi sab dhyan tha muje. Or kuch nhi. I'm sorry!"

"Hogya!? Ya abhi or bhi bologe?"

"Nahi ye sorry to banta hai!" He made a face.

I kissed him and said "chalo utho ab!"

"Par aaj to off hai."

"I know but fresh ho jao, fir hum sath sath rahenge pura din."

"Pura din, pura saal, har saal, jab tak Shaheer hai, tab tak Pooja ke sath hai. Mai insaan hu agar, to tum meri fitrat. Or insaan apni fitrat nhi chodta."

"Shayar sahab your fitrat loves you." I replied.

After freshening up, we were constantly together. Laughing, sharing all feelings of the past days, crying happy tears was what we did all the day. In the evening, we went to tewary sir's place as he had called us all.

"Maine aap sab ko isliye bulaya hai kyuki aaj raat maine..." Sir said and paused . 

"Aapne..!?" Vin repeated.

"Maine ek grand success party plan ki hai." He declared and we all were looking at each other with horror in our eyes.

"What happened?" Sir asked as we didn't show excitement as he must have expected.

"Thodi der me party hai or hum already yaha hai" Saurav said.

"To sahi haina, tabhi to bulaya tha, arrangements ho chuke hai. You all can enjoy."

"But hume dekho, hum sab kese white shirts me aagye, hume laga ke koi urgent shoot hai." Lavanya made a face.

"Chill!!" Shafaq said.

"Ha tum to bologi hi!" Arpit said as she was dressed in a black outfit.
"Guys we have won 4 awards last night. Celebration to banta hai!?" Sir said.

"Okay okay!! PARTY!!!!!!" Arav hooted and we all smiled and cheered "woohooo".

The party was a success in itself. We enjoyed a lot. We danced to no end, drank champagne as sir celebrated with it. We ate and clicked a lot of pictures. We thoroughly enjoyed.

I took Shaheer with me to the balcony as the moonlit sky was looking ethereal. I placed my head on his shoulder and placed my hand around his. It was just us! The loving us! "Perhaps pause serves a purpose!" I broke silence.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because today I'm feeling more complete, more yours!"

"You were, are and will be, more and more mine!"

Shaheer's POV

I'm really sorry for my behavior with her in the past not so few days. Those days were so long for me. Kaate nahi kat rahe the, uske bina. I have to say sorry to her. I know vo muje maaf kar chuki hai but I haven't got a closure.

Pooja's POV

Shaheer called me when I was sitting in my room after my shot. He asked me to join him in his room. Par is time to uska shot ready hai...God knows what he's upto !!

As soon as I entered in his room in my Draupadi attire (as I didn't get time to change) I saw a large no of balloons, having SORRY written on them. And with guitar in his hands, in his armour, he was playing " koi haseena jab Ruth jaati hai to,
Or bhi haseen ho jaati hai!
Zulfon mein chhaiyan, mukhde pe dhoop hai
Hey zulfon mein chhaiyan, mukhde pe dhoop hai
Bada mazedar goriye yeh tera rang-roop hai
Dor se patang jab toot jaati hai to, hai to, hai to
Rut rangeen ho jaati hai"

And trust me! It was his baddest singing ever. But I was in awe. How much more cute he could be!! He's crossing all limits.  Playing guitar upto the mark but singing so cutely and innocently bad, had all my hearts.
I smiled at him and moved towards him "par ye haseena to naaraz nahi hai!"

"I know!"

"To ye sab?!"

"To bhi tumhe muje maaf karna hoga."

"Ya tumhe khud ko maaf karna hoga?"

"Whatever! I'm guilty! That's it."

"And being sorry for that is enough. Ye sab relationships me hota rehta hai. Distance, gap, meetings and growing love, all this is part of being together. And we are living it Arjun. Believe me, we are enjoying perks of being in love."

"Shhshh!" He put finger on my lips and continued "bas bas. Muje pata hai tum bahut achi ho. Par khushi se pagal hokar mai abhi nhi marna chahta!"

"Khushi?"

"Ha ke tum mere sath ho, mere liye ho!"

And then he began singing on guitar "kabhi kabhi mere dil me khayal aata hai..."

"Ke jaise tumko banaya gaya hai mere liye.."   I sang.

"Tu abse pehle sitaaro me bas rahi thi kahi, tuje zameen par utaara gaya hai mere liye" he completed and strummed.
We kissed each other smilingly and a tear rolled down my eyes. He immediately wiped it away and soon parted.
"Look!" He said and showed me a cake with "I LOVE YOU" written on it.

"Ab ye kisliye? Don't say that it's for saying sorry! Not again!!"

"Nahi, ye to celebrate karne ke liye hai."

"Kya?"

"Pehli ladai, pehli dafa ki judaai, or fir pehla sa ehsaas ke tum meri ho!"

"Pehla ehsaas?" I frowned.

"Obviously! Tumhare sath, har purani chiz muje nayi hi lagti hai. Fresh and new to embrace..." This time without letting him complete I pulled him into a deep, passionate and tender kiss. I just wanted him. We kissed in unison and rested our foreheads against each other.

"I love you"
"I love you" we said it, together, again as old times, but with new zeal, as Shaheer has mentioned.
