Chapter 57: Part-57

As he entered the room a feeling of giddiness surrounded him. He was filled with all the emotions at once. He can finally see her. Touch her. The thought only made grin wide. There was she laying on the bed which was placed in the center of the room. He slowly walked towards her making sure that he don't make any sort of nuisance which will disturb her. But on other hand he want to throw all the things present in the room. Damn his thoughts are contradicting. May be after hearing all the commotion going on she will get up and scold him for making so much noise. He lips curled remembering how much she hate any short of disturbance while she is sleeping. ******** "Randhir..." Sanyukta groaned as she dig her face deeper in the pillow and placed another one above her head thus covering her other ear too. "What?" He asked casually while shuffling the channels on the television. "Switch of this bloody television of yours.. I need to sleep." "So sleep na.. who is stopping you." "This television of yours.. I can't sleep in so much noise... I need some peace." "But I'm not sleepy.. I want to watch TV." He protested. "Randhir switch it off or.." "Or?" He interrupted her in between. "I'm not afraid of your plain threats." He chuckled. "Plain threats?" She repeated his words and smacked his head with a pillow. "Ouch.." He rubbed his head. "What was this." He grumbled. "My plain threats." Her voice was sarcastic. "Next time remember this before accusing me for something." She smirked. "Now I'm not gonna switch off this TV for sure.. do whatever you wish to." "Randhir please..." She finally requested. "But I'm really not sleepy." "You switch off this idiot box and come I'll make you sleep." She smiled. Randhir wondered what will she do but he did as she said. He switched off the television and made himself lay on the bed. "Come.." Sanyukta said as she open her arms for him. Randhir without saying anything made himself comfortable in her arms as he pulled her more closer while she placed his head on her chest. "Sleep now Randhir.." She kissed her forehead and caressed his hair until he was asleep. ************ A tear formed in his eye as he remember that night. That was not most peaceful sleep he ever had. How badly he wish to scream right now. Asking her to get up now. She had enough of her sleep. He need him now. Can't she feel that? He need her to breath. Composing his not so stable thoughts he sat on chair beside her bed. Her face was pale with dark circles under her eyes. Her lips were all dry. He so badly wanted to kiss it. Or at least touch it. He observed her face carefully. But of all the things what pained him the most was the white bandage covering her entire head and forehead. He moved his hand forward to touch her face but immediately withdrew it back thinking what if it pains her. She is too fragile to be touched right then. He believed. A part of him said it's OK to touch her. It will be fine. But the other part, the more scared part of him don't want to do anything which could hurt her or make any complications in the doctors' process. His hands were itching to caress her cheek. He remember how red her cheeks becomes because of their proximity. To him she is still the most beautiful lady he has ever seen. Holding the temptation to touch her, he was glad at least he could see her from this close. This is more than enough for him right now. She is in front of him. She is breathing. This sight is enough for him to breath. He have been brave all through out her treatment. Yes! Surely he lost his patience at times but still he was all confident that his Sanyukta will be alright. This was Randhir to the world. But nobody knew how tough it was for him to fight his inner battle without showing it to the world that yes even he is weak or yes even he is afraid what if doctors could not save his Sanyukta. The thought of Sanyukta not with him only did things to him. The horrible ones. "Mr. Shekhawat you can touch your wife." Doctor smiled to Randhir who saw his hand continuously at her direction and back to his lap. "Aa.. are.. you sure doctor?" He asked in a hesitant voice. "Absolutely." Doctor nodded. Randhir slowly forwarded his hand to touch her face. He brought his hand above her face and stopped for a while above her face, inhaling deeply he touched her cheek and caressed it softly. He closed his eyes as his hand came in contact with her skin. Touching her made him all relax. He stroked his cheek as she was some delicate doll. She was his fragile princess. His thumb rubbed on her lower lips while his hand rested on her cheek. He moved his hand to her forehead which was covered with a white bandage. He bend down a little and kissed her forehead. All the while taking all caution majors. He then kissed both her eyes and tip of her nose. He reached her lips after kissing both her cheeks. He softly placed his lips on her dry ones. His eyes closed all the while as he was feeling her not with his touches but with his soul. "I love you.." He kissed her hand which he was holding in his. "Now you get up OK? You had enough of your beauty sleep. I will not disturb you anymore Sanyukta. And look I still need to fulfill all your wishes. We didn't had our first date yet. You wished me to propose you and I had made all plans to do that. You can't ruin my plans Sanyukta you need to get up. And.. and you remember your fairly tale ending... you still want that na.. so for that you need to get up, hug me and kiss me too. Or else forget about your fairly tale ending. On- once you told me I will be a super dad... so for that we need to work on things.. so that I can show you how super daddy I will be.. and I'm very clear about this princess I only want our children to call me 'papa'. Get up please...." His voice cracked in the end as he cried holding her hands in between his palms.
