CHAPTER
– 25
There was an
eerie silence prevailing in the room, everyone was waiting for Vathsala’s
Answer, Akash’s heart was racing, what will she say, will she accept? Ishika
came by her side ,placed her hand on her shoulder , “Di…” she called her ,
Vathsala didn’t move , her mind was a turmoil , she likes Akash , ‘but what
about our families ? Will they accept? What about her Father?’
Akash was still
on his knees, he told her “I know you love me Vathsala, Please accept my Love”
Everyone in the room started to shout “Vathsala Vathsala”, she took a deep
breath and closed her eyes, she opened her eyes and took the bouquet from him
without uttering a single word, There was a huge roar of applause, Akash stood
on his legs and hugged her tightly, there was no bound for his happiness,
forgetting his surroundings, he lifted her up in the air and started whirling
around , Arjun opened a champagne bottle “ For the people who united our love ,
and this is for their love” he shouted loudly into the speaker .
Everyone came
and congratulated the new couple; it was past midnight by the time they left
the party, Akash and Vathsala were now all alone, there was an awkward silence
between them; it was the first time they were alone after Akash has proposed
her.
“Vaths…” he
called her, she turned towards him “You haven’t said those three precious
words” he said making a sad face “I’m Waiting” he told
“Akash I want to
ask you something” she told softly
His car
screeched to a halt, “What” he asked her surprised
“Do you think
our parents will agree for our marriage, I cannot deny my parents Akash” she
told him
“Vaths , You
just say yes and the rest will be handled by me , I will not leave you now at
any cost , You are my everything Vaths , Forever and Ever” he told placing his
hand on her hand , holding it tight and giving her an assurance .
He got down from
the car and went to Vathsala‘s side opened her door and asked her to get down,
she has done as told. He took her into the centre of road, as it was past
midnight there were no vehicles on the road, Vathsala was staring at him with
shocked expression, and he stretched his hands and shouted
“Vathsalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”
She pulled him
towards the car forcefully, “Akash come, let’s go it’s getting late!” she
shouted
“NO! I won’t,
tell me those three words, I’m waiting for that, or else I won’t move from
here.” He told
“Akash, First
let’s ask our parents” she said, he pulled her close to him, “Vathsala, there
is no need of our parents, it’s you and me who need to think about this”
“But you knew
what has happened with our families?” she asked him
“Yeah Vaths ,
that was because of my cowardliness , now I’m not that Akash anymore , I’m
changed , I will fight for you , YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING !!!!”He shouted and continued,
“Look into my eyes, you knew well what they say” she was looking down, he
raised her hand, There eyes met, no one spoke; only silence was ruling the
place.
“Akash………, I
LOVE YOU” she said softly, looking deep into his eyes, his eyes became watery,
they are trying to escape from his eye, he hugged her again, he released her,
cupped her face in his hands and told “I’ve been waiting for this moment for
very long Vaths , I’m the most luckiest man on this earth , I got you
Vathsala” he pulled her and they both
where whirling round and round , Vathsala was laughing at his Actions , he was
doing all kinds of actions in happiness , running ,dancing ,pulling her what
not every action done by a child ,she pulled his cheeks and said “ You are a
kid Akash” caressing his hair , “I always want to be your first child Vathsala
, I want to be pampered by you Vathsala” she gave him a broad smile.
“Come let’s go”
she told
“No , I want
this moment to be like this forever , you and me that’s it , nobody else in
this world” he said taking her hand and gently placing a peck on her hand. She
hugged him , placing her head on his chest and closed her eyes , relieving of
all the pain she had gone through , she was at ease , now erasing all the
burden.

between them has been removed and they both looked into each other’s eyes placing
the jaggery paste on each other’s head , they are deeply engrossed in
themselves , they could only hear the chants from the priests , a tear drop
escaped from Vathsala’s eye , it was out of happiness , A happiness which has
no bounds but only can be experienced !!
