54 Some more roaming... (1/2)
At night 12.10 am.... Narmada's phone started vibrating.... She saw the screen and it was Prakruth. She walked out to the balcony as she didn't want to disturb the girls who were asleep.
”What happened Prakruth?? Is your hand hurting??” she asked in a panicked voice.
”Aunty No, no, relax.... I just wanted to tell you to be ready by 6am...we need to visit Himalayan bird park at sunrise” said Prakruth. ”Don't you think you're risking yourself?? You still have the tournament day after.”
”No Aunty, I'm totally fine. I want to visit all places before I leave to Mangalore... please” he pleaded.
”Your wish, I'll be ready” she agreed.
”Aunty even the two girls should join, but tell them it is just practice session.”
”Oh you want to surprise them... Crazy boy....”
”Yes Aunty.... Goodnight Sweet Dreams” he chuckled.
”Goodnight” she hung up.
Early morning, Narmada was trying to wake up the girls. ”Punya, get up dear... You've practice.” She just turned opposite side.
”Jyoti, get up ma... Coach will start scolding” said Jyoti.
”It is cold Aunty. Two minutes please” she hid her face in the blanket.
”Offo... Prakruth is waiting downstairs for you... Get ready” said Narmada in a higher tone.
Punya suddenly got up in shock hearing Prakruth's name and asked ”How's his hand Amma??”
Narmada was startled by her sudden response yet she replied ”I haven't seen him... Get ready... You can see him by yourself.”
”Ten minutes Amma” she said and rushed to the washroom. She was walking around like a busy bee, fast and accurate on her steps.
Narmada wondered ”how on Earth did Prakruth become so important to her... Or is it just sympathy??”.
Punya wore a white T shirt, blue track pants and blue jacket with a white cap on head as accessories. After few minutes when Punya was ready she pulled Jyoti's blanket and ordered ”Get ready fast”. She didn't allow her to sleep again.
”Amma I'll go see how's his hand... I'm not able to stay till this girl gets ready” she said to Narmada and walked out without even waiting for permission.
She went upstairs and knocked at the room door... No response. She again rang the bell.... No response again... She tried the door knob to see if it was locked and it clicked open... She opened the door wide and stepped in calling out ”Prakruth”....
”Look out... Knock before you enter” he screamed. He was just out from bath wearing a towel around his waist and nothing else. Coach was in the bath room, bathing.
Punya turned back and closed her eyes seeing him half-naked ”Sorry Sorry... I knocked but there was no response. So I entered” said Punya apologetically.
”Oh is it only you?” asked Prakruth as he approached her.
”Yes, Jyoti was taking bath so I came to see you” said Punya still closing her eyes.
He embraced her from behind and started caressing her neck through her hair.... She was startled. His strong arms held Punya warmly and he took off her cap...
”Prakruth, what's this... You shameless boy” she smirked.
”Why should I be ashamed in front of you sweetie....? You smell so good” appreciated Prakruth.
”You're half-naked.. For that you should feel little shameful”
”Oh you wanted me to be completely naked?” he teased.
”Yew... No.... You're mad... Leave me” she tried to get rid of him.
”No I won't....We're in one of the world's most popular honeymoon spot.... It is so cold... How can I leave you without something???” he crushed her in his arms.
”No, no... Nothing doing leave...I will kick you”
”I won't.... Am I not warm... Don't you like me?” he asked as he caressed her.
She was mesmerized by his overflowing love. She started relaxing slowly into his arms, enjoying the warmth of his body. He could feel her getting comfortable hence he released his firm grip on her.... She turned and hugged him from front.... resting her head on his chest and tightened her embrace.
”Wish I could stay like this forever!!!” said Punya closing her eyes.
”Someone wanted to kick me a few minutes before...” chuckled Prakruth ”Your wish will be granted only after 7 or 8 years” he said patting her back.
”I can't wait so long.... Can't we marry next year??” she asked.
