"I miss you honey"
"Really , than wait for few minutes I'll be there in front of you" Rishi said .
"Are you kidding Rishi, it's 8 pm, my parents are at home now" I replied surprisingly.
"So what my baby is missing me, I should go"
"no need, my parents going to kill me" am really scared by that time.
"Wait for few minutes" and he disconnected the phone.
After few minutes Rishi called me "where are you, look am here in front of your house". Now these are the things of him that used to paralyzes me every time. I was scared but want to meet him too.
"What Rishi, you are unpredictable" I said although I was very happy and excited too. "Do one thing, come from backyard, no one is there." Rishi came from the backyard crossing the wall and the window too. His childish nature was astonishing yet it felt so pure and true, making me special everytime. we sat together for few minutes. I couldn't saw his face as the room was dark, we even cldn't talk aloud, all we can hear and feel was the whispering of mosquitoes and their stings sucking blood from all over the body. I was wandering in love when the very next day I encountered a worst incident.
"Shweta, why did you mess up the entire room" I shouted at our maid. Now a day's maids have a better corner and position in house and that was the case in my house too. "Why you are shouting at her Sneha" my mom shouted defending her.
"Mom look she had kept her used clothes under my bed." I tried to justify myself'.
"so what the big deal, I'll tell her to remove" mom said and turn to her. I was shocked by that response , I even couldn't tell her that her dearly maid Shweta had kept her bleeded pads under my bed. Shweta suddenly started crying holding my mom's feet "madam, I want to go home, I can't resist all these". She acted as if she was the heroine of a daily shop or I had taken away her fundamental rights.
"Sneha I am observing you from many days, what is wrong with you, we have given you freedom that doesn't meant you'll do whatever you want. Don't be so selfish and self centered that the world started hating you. If you gt freedom that doesn't mean you'll roam around liked prostitutes" my mom said and moved towards the bedroom. I dnt know why she used the last word that too for a maid, but it touched me so badly that I even decided to leave the house. It was raining outside, I took my bag and leave the house silently . I texted my elder sister about it. I don't have a penny with me , but the bus conductor discovered that something is wrong with me and therefore didn't even asked for the fare. My parents kept on calling me I didn't respond. After few minutes I got a call from Rishi "where are you?"
"At home, why Rishi? " I asked
"Don't lie, I know you are not at home your sister called me, tell me the truth where are you" he stormed at me.
"yes I am not at home, I am at bhangagarh and I am not going to return home again" and I burst out with tears.
"Leave the bus right now, I'm going to the bus stop"
"no"
"For my sake, if you love me than leave the bus"
I don't have any other option I leave the bus and waited for Rishi, I saw him coming towards me .He slapped me slightly and said "why! You didn't thought even once, what will I do without you"
"No actually Rishi" now I felt so insulted as I was behaving like a kid. Had decided to leave the house for a maid.
" ok I'll drop you to six mile , your parents were waiting for you, you even can't imagine how much they love you" Rishi tried to behave like a grandpa this time.
"no, am not going anywhere, you dnt know what they told me"
"I just want u to go home, and if they told to leave me, ok leave me but go home now" and I saw tears in his eyes for the first time.
"No way Rishi, I can't go with you, they'll come to know about us"I hesitated
"So what, I don't mind, let's go" Rishi took me to my parents, it was still raining, we were teemed with the shower. That was the first day Rishi encountered my parents. I had planned differently about the first encounter of Rishi and my parents but I'd messed everything. I was not sure about his first impression as the circumstances were worst. However, my mom showed an eager to meet him formally.
"so what is your name " my mom asked him raising one of her eyebrows.
"Rishi, my name is Rishi "he said and smiled. Rishi was really a man made for women, within a matter of second he impressed my mom, my sister and then my dad and brother. He came close to my family and precisely to me. There was not a single day, when we don't met, he was that part of me without whom I cant imagine my life. His friends were my friends, his world became my world. I surrendered my life to him.
.....................….
After few months
"Rishi are you sure , we going to spend a night together" I asked surprisingly
"why, you are mine and I'll definitely marry you , so what's in that?" he asked
"Nothing but is this right"
"Everything is fare in love and war" he said and smiled.
"But I have to perform in annual function, I'll meet you after that."
Day of annual function...….
"Poonam, I need to pee its emergency" I said in hurry
"Let's perform than I 'll take to a place" she said indicating me to control. But how one can control pee.
"no, Poonam I cant," I shouted.
"ok, lets go" she took me under a tree. Now that was what people in India used to do from centuries 'open defecation'. And I being the citizen of India and at those circumstances I didn't wait and sat under tree. Poonam tried to hide me. After these big war with pee when I turn back I saw Rishi.
"oh god , did he saw me?" I asked Poonam.
"not at all its dark here" she said confidently. I borrowed the confidence from her and went to meet him.
"You came earlier Rishi?" I said
"yes , and saw your great job behind that tree" he laughed. That was weirdest feeling in world. I dnt knw how to react so I smiled and went inside the hall.
After the performance we went to his outhouse where we decided to stay. It was dark their when we arrived. We had our dinner and talked , kissed through the night. The only distraction was the dozens of mosquitoes and their stings. Rishi tried to protect from those warriors, yes ofcorse the mosquitoes. I fell asleep and he continued his shield of protection. After few minutes he jumped out of his bed and hugged me very tightly.
"What happen Rishi, you are not slept yet?"
"No, I slept but had a dream that you moved away, so I hugged you" and he kissed my forehead. By that time it was already dawn. We leave the house, had tea and moved to workplaces.
After two weeks
"Rishi I think am pregnant" I called him out of fear.
"What! are you sure" he replied shockingly.
"yep, may be again, my periods are delayed same as that time"
It was one of my drastic memories with Rishi. Making love seems so good but sometimes the after effects proved to be horrible. I was implanted once. That was one of the nightmare of my life. I wake up in the morning and checked using the kit Rishi had given me the earlier day. And worst part was that my human chronic gonadotrophin level was high than usual .
"oh, shit , two bars, god am pregnant , is am dreaming, what will I do now" I sat on bathroom for another few minutes thinking about the solution. Rishi called me and was eagerly waiting for the result to be no. But unfortunately the result was exactly opposite of what we want.
"What will I do now Rishi, I cant share these things with any one?"
"Don't worry, leave it on me, by the way it is prove today my material is of good quality, look it worked today".
I don't know how could laugh at that situation. But it was for the first time in my life I felt something different. As a biology student I was aware of what was going inside but the feel I'd was totally different. I felt like the entire womb was filled with fluid, that my heartbeat fastened. I know I have to abort but suddenly the Indian sentiment became heavy on me and I don't want to abort. How could I react so filmy , control Sneha this is unwanted and I consolidated myself. However Luckily these time it was not positive and I didn't to faced all these again.
