Braj ki Holi

(Epilouge)

"Nandu, invite me to your house next year during Navratri, I want to see your Golu and maybe make one with you. They are so beautiful!" Bhumi said, referring to a photo in Nandita's phone. Nandita was Ranvit's girlfriend. 

Now that we were in college except Bhumi, who was still in grade twelve, we had more freedom to go out alone and Ranvit could finally bring his girlfriend with us after introducing her to masi. We had holidays for Durga puja so we decided to head to Gujarat for Navratri. Bhumi had to beg and plead with masi to let her go with us and after a day full of tantrums and sobbing, she was allowed to come with us. 

"Done. Do well in your board exams next year and bag a seat in a college. I will invite you to my house and we will make the best Golu ever, okay?" Nandita smiled and kept her phone inside her purse.

We were here for a week. In the first three days, we visited the Somnath and the Dwarkadhish temple. Bhumi and I had teased the young couple about getting married at the Dwarkadhish temple. We then rested an entire day in our hotel after coming back to Ahmedabad and for the next two days, we were roaming in some nearby places. Ranvit had got some passes for a garba event from some of his friends, so we decided to buy some chaniya cholis from a nearby market.

You must be wondering where is Krishna right? Do not worry, I got you.

Subhadra:

Kanha bhaiya told me that you all are in Gujarat???

I received a text from Subhadra as Bhumi made my hair. Ranvit had suggested to meet Krishna and the others in Gujarat, but Krishna had informed me that he and his family were going to his grandparent's place for Navratri, so they wouldn't be able to meet us.

After leaving Vrindavan, Krishna and I were regularly in touch with each other. We would talk about the usual stuff like school and studies and sometimes he would share with me his music compositions. Apart from that, we never talked about that kiss or anything related to it. Later, board exams came up, so we got more busy and barely found time to talk to each other. Nevertheless, Krishna was the only person I would turn to whenever I felt stressed about my exams.

And there were nights, I would see him in my dreams and my internal romantic heroine would emerge that would pine for him. I did wonder if he too felt the same about me?

After waiting for Bhumi to finish her artistry on my hair, I swiped my phone screen and replied back.

Subhadra:

Kanha bhaiya told me that you all are in Gujarat??

Why didn't bhaiya tell me before?

We could have planned something beforehand and met each other once.

:(

Me:

No worries. Next time pakka :(

Subhadra:

Ugh. I can't lie anymore.

LISTEN…

We are here only. No one is out of station.

I sent the above text because Kanha bhaiya told me.

Ranvit is included too.

Shoo and don't ask Ranvit bhaiya anything.

I shut my phone off. Scheme? What scheme? Ranvit too played a part in this but since when? We both were busy with college applications and then our first semester started.

What on earth was going on?

"Girls ready?" I heard Ranvit's voice outside the door. The cab has reached the main gate.

If a scheme was really going on and that too by Krishna, it meant that he was definitely going to meet me. But he could do that by texting me too? Why so much fuss?

Bhumi hooked her arm through mine, patted her skirt and said, "Chalein ab madam?"

"Haan madam chalo." I smiled and opened the door. Nandita rushed out immediately to see Ranvit's reaction on seeing her in chaniya choli.

Ranvit gasped and eyed her up and down. He moved around her in circles, and showered praises upon her. "Nandita, I swear, you can kill me and I will say thank you. You always look so beautiful, but now you look like a goddess." He was gaping at her while Nandini blushed and smiled at him. "Darling, can I kiss you here?"

"Oyi yahan nahi room mein jao dono." Bhumi playfully yelled and hit Ranvit's shoulder. "Besides, weren't you saying that the can has arrived. You don't want to be late to dance with your girlfriend."

Poor Ranvit had eyes only for Nandita who was now in his arms. God, I badly wanted what they had.

Clearing my throat, I said, "Okay, lovebirds, you don't have to trouble our single hearts with your lovey dovey actions. Let's reach the venue first aage ka romance vahan kar lena."

Ranvit grumbled under his breath making Bhumi and me laugh while his lovely girlfriend smiled bashfully and shook her head at Ranvit.

I began walking ahead leaving the couple to come in their own sweet time, but I had no idea when Bhumi had ditched my side and I was walking alone in the corridor. I could hear their voices nearby, so I waited for them.

Ranvit:

Go down to the gate and wait near the cab.Nandini's dupatta has come close so Bhumi is fixing it.

So we were definitely going to be late to the Garba event. I sighed and texted a thumbs up emoji and walked alone to the gate with no awareness of a mind boggling surprise.

Climbing down the stairs carefully while making sure that my skirt wasn't getting under my sandals, I reached the lobby when a familiar curly headed boy stood, his back facing me.

"Krishna…" I called out slowly. This was a dream right?

"The one and only." He turned towards me and my heart skipped a beat. This person looked more beautiful with each passing day. And I was once again drawn to his eyes just like the first time. His eyes shone in delight on seeing me and I realised how much I had missed his gaze on me all the time I had to spend away from him. My eyes drifted towards his lips. These were the same pair of lips that I had kissed on Holi. I could feel goosebumps on my skin and my head felt a little light. This boy made me feel weak with his handsomeness.

I rushed towards him. I no longer cared if my skirt was coming under my sandals or if my dupatta was coming loose or not. This beautiful curly haired boy named Krishna mattered the most.

His arms enveloped my frame. I couldn't help but hug him tightly. I could even cry but refrained my tears from flowing down because no way was I going to let my tears ruin my kajal. I felt his palm rub my back ever so gently. He chuckled and hummed a song.

'Badan pe sitare lapete huye,' Krishna held my finger and twirled me around. 'O jaane tamanna kidhar jaa rahi ho. Zara paas aao,' he held my wrist and pulled me back towards his chest and whispered in my ear, 'Toh chayn aa jaye.'

Mind you dear reader, we were doing this in the hotel lobby. Yes, we were that embarrassing and cute.

"You planned all of this, Krishna?" I asked, as he swayed me side to side under the chandelier.

"Yes, after all my way to your heart must be a beautiful one with lots of music and pining." He made me stand in front of him, his eyes gazed deep into mine. Gently tucking my hair behind my ear, he said, "You look as if the stars themselves have adorned you and the moon herself lent her radiance to you."

I couldn't help but smile at his praise. He surely had a different play with words. "You aren't writing a book now, are you? How did you come up with this?"

Keeping a hand to his chest, he pretended to be hurt. "I thought you would be happy, but you question my words. What is the best way to compliment a beauty if not with the magnificence of the Universe? Alas, I was wounded by the same beauty who resides in my heart."

"Oyi drama queen!" I heard Bhumi's voice behind me. "Thoda attention hume bhi dedo."

Krishna held my hand and moved me to his side. "Aaj nahi. I have only this night with her and we are getting late."

"We?" I asked, glancing at Krishna.

"Oh well, it's a date."

Astonished, I stared at him. "You haven't asked me out yet."

"Shit! I forgot the most important part." He ran his fingers through his beautiful soft curls and went down on one knee.

A charming smile graced his lips. Some of his curls fell just above his eyes, just the way I liked. He outstretched his palm and said, "Bhaishmi, this may sound like a marriage proposal. Don't fret, it's not. But, right from the first day I saw you, you held a special place in my heart and then with each hour spent with you in Vrindavan, I couldn't help but fall for you. And I hope you do not wound my heart again by asking if it's from some book or not because from the second, you left my hand and went back home, I have desperately pined for you.

"Everytime I looked at my flute, I was reminded of your voice. Everytime my eyes met the moon, I couldn't help but think about your face and the adorable expressions you always carry that made me want to hold you and kiss you. Every night until today, I would speak to the night sky, the stars and the moon about you, hoping that in some mysterious way they would carry my message to you or carry a message to me. And, I do think they did because I always felt a soft night breeze caress my face." He paused for a second and I placed my hand over his.

"So, I ask you today. Bhaishmi, will you be my girlfriend?"

As if I was going to say no. But, I must say, I wanted to cry and squeal at his speech.

My eyes were slightly moist at the ends. Blinking the little tears away, I kneeled down and nodded my head. "Krishna.. God, why are you so damn perfect in everything? Yes, I will be your girlfriend."

Without pausing for a second, he hugged me tightly and I stayed in his embrace for a long while or that's what I felt until I heard Ranvit speak.

"Krishna, you are going to be late and you also need to bring my sister back here before 11.30"

"Oyi uncle! Let the couple have their moment," Bhumi said. She then went to mutter something and was too excited to see Krishna and me together to speak anything clearly.

Nandita clapped her hands and said, "Finally, I get to see a proposal like this. Bhaishmi, you are so lucky!"

I smiled and looked at her. Krishna and I got up and did not let our hands move away from each other.

"So madam chalein?" He asked.

"Chaliye."

"Oye Bhaishmi details badme dena room aake samjhi? Hello?"

I could only show Bhumi a thumbs up sign because Krishna was already pulling me outside.

And that's how readers, we got together in the end.

Bonus scene

"When did you rope in Ranvit into your plan?" I asked as my fingers played with his curls.

Krishna's head was on my lap. His eyes glanced towards mine. "Right from the moment you all planned to come here. Ranvit had called me up and informed me that you were coming here, and I knew I had to shoot my shot here before any other boy from your college would steal you away from me. And I also asked Subhadra to text you just to double check you wouldn't have any ideas about my surprise, but she ended up revealing a bit because she loves you more now."

My eyes softened. "You know I would never date any other guy in college. I had fallen for you in Vrindavan. With or without you, my heart would always belong to you, Krishna."

Krishna stayed silent for a while. He slowly got up and held my face in his hand. He leaned in until our lips were barely away from each other. "And my heart has and will always belong to you, Bhaishmi," He murmured and caught my lips with his. His fingers tangled themselves in my hair as our lips danced around each other.

The sea waves crashed on the shore as our kiss slowly turned deeper and desperate. All those nights alone that I had spent thinking about him, I put each and every bit of my feeling in my touch and into the kiss to let him know that I burned the same way as him for all the days that were apart.

One cannot live without oxygen which is a fact and oxygen will never care about the statement of not living without that special person, so ultimately we had to break the kiss.

Krishna pressed his forehead against mine and whispered, "Nights with you are always special, do you know? I love this and I love you."

I didn't even hesitate for a second after listening to him.

"And I love you, Krishna."
