CHAPTER-51

KETU
~~~~

From Menton, we reached Venice. The trip was exciting. As we were tried, we slept the day.
And these past four days we went to every possible attraction sight in and around the venice.. The best thingh I loved is the rides in the gondala(boat), which is the most important thing I liked venice. Yash made sure we go in a gondala only by us. I didn't complaint about it, as I am more than happy he accepted to leave his car behind and to use the gondala to explore the city. He didn't like going with all people pushing us. Sad, he never tried for route bus In his life and that too going in peak hours.

Even though the city is filled with crowd. Yash always trying to keep the charm and excitement. So I won't loose my excitement like I did in Paris. If not him, i thing i would have not been loving this trip. Never thought yash is this jovial one. Always making jokes and teasing me. And we both tease each other. Whenever we stand in queue. That we don't know how time passes.

We are now in streets roaming and shopping. Yash is speaking to someone. And I am standing simply. Waiting for him. Suddenly something pooped my mind. I am brilliant you know.

I saw yash busily speaking in the phone. In a language I don't understand. He knows French, Italian, German, Spanish, Hindi, punjabi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, tamil, english. I don't even know I love you in those language except tamil, Telugu and english. But, He speaks all language fluently.( note the sarcasm ). I took advantage of his call and took slow silent steps and hide inside the road side shop. She asked me what I am doing? I think so that's what she is saying in her language!. I pointed yash and acted her to shoo. I think she understood. She winked at me and acted like she will be silent. I smiled.

Yash after hanging his phone. He turned to see me. At least he didn't forgotten to check me up now. As soon as he realised I am missing. You should have seen his face. I can't control my laugh nor stop pitting on him. Oh.. My sweet darling.. Missing me... My flying kiss.. The shop lady is smiling too.

Yash started to go around the small shops and started asking for me. And she came to the shop lady. And started asking me. Showing my photo from his phone. What made me angry is the photo. It the photo of me crying in the theatre while watching the play yesterday. How the hell he took that clip. I was crying watching the sad scene of the play where the leads friend die.
Stupid yash! I will get back on you, Don't worry ketu. Lets make him search even more. I motioned the shop lady to send him out and not to say him I am here. The shop lady sent him out of the shop and laughed at me, For my photo And seeing my reaction..

Me-" thanks.."
Shop lady-" welcome.. You too looking cute.. Live happy.." And gave me a couple glass doll to me.
I acted her I don't have money with me..
Shop lady-" gift ... " like it's from her. I took it and said thanks and I went out to see yash continue searching for me.

It's been thirty minutes. His face shrunk, That it can't shrink anymore. And he is tensed. I decided to stop my act. And started proceeding to him.

Some girl came and bumped on me. She said sorry to me and helped me to stand up.. And I stood up. To see, I actually missed yash. He is no where to be seen. I now understand, how it fells to miss our life partner who was with us a second before our eyes.

I am searching for yash for the past four hours. With the doll in my hand. With no cash to go to my hotel back, Nor not know the language to learn the way back or to ask about yash. The sky became dark. And the crowd disappeared. The city became like a seculed area. I am nervous is the understatement. I am feared to death. Most of All the shops are closed. The temperature reduced, it's so cold. The tears fighting to pour out.

Never in my life, I thought the bucket list of to do in venice, to get lost in the city, would be missing from yash. And stand like this, Not knowing the place where I am standing. Actually I know it's Piazza San Marco. We came here yesterday morning filled with people. Now with no people. the Italian architect wonder can be freely viewed with no one to disturb we can enjoy and the lightings make their work highlight. But, I wouldn't able to see them properly with the tear filled eyes, and in the mood to want to see yash.

Never thought that a small plan of me to play on him would revert back at me. And make me stand helplessly over here in this cold. Please god, I understand my mistake. Please, make yash appear before my eyes.
I am rite now crying.

Me-" please god.. Show me yash before my eyes..." I shouted no Yelled. And started to the entrance of the piazza San Marco. And saw.....

Yash coming searching for me, as he looked at me. I started to running towards him.. And he gave me a bone crushing hug.. And I am happily crying. After two minutes I looked at him and he smiled at me.

Me-" why the hell you disappeared like that idiot??" I punched him in his chest.

Yash-" I should ask that idiot.." He narrowed his eyes. yes, I am the one that disappeared but..

Me-" no.. I was just playing with you.. You are the one that disappeared from my sight at the end of the market street.. It's all only your fault.." His fault we were missed each other and I accused him..

Yash-" what ?" Asked in full shock..

Me-" accept.. Ask sorry to me.. Say me you never disappear from my sight.."asked pointing him..

Yash-" you played with me..?" Seems like he realised the first part..

Me-" yes.. Now promise me.. You never will ever disappear from my sight ..." all I know need is the promise and showed my hand to promise me..

Yash-" okay .. I will never disappear from your sight.. Now.. Don't cry .. Come on..don't cry.." Came near me and wiped my tears. That's when I started to cry even more hysterically. I started explaining him how I hid and followed him and how he disappeared from eyes And how I roamed like a stupid with the doll.

Yash-" it's alright.. Now look at me.. And give me a smile.. Now I found you na?" Said rubbing off the tears. I nodded. And, he took my face in his palm. We both started to look at each other. Yash motioned me to smile. Yash looked my lips for a smile. Even after I smiled and his eyes started to linger there for some time. That made my heart, My heart to beat fast. I don't know what to do. As yash came near me before a inch away, I closed my eyes. My first kiss.... Oh god.. My first kiss by yash.. My husband... by the person I love..

Someone cleared their throat.. I opened my eyes to see a clearly tensed yash and my enemy, a old security guard. Yes, He is from now on my biggest enemy. He just now disturbed my first kiss. My husband of three and half months, my lover was about to give me my first kiss.. And this stupid old man just found the right time to cancel it. How great full of him na? I need to keep him a statute isn't it? Hell no. Now I need to wait. God only knows how much more long I need to wait again for the moment. It's all because you Idiot security.

Yash spoked with him. He said something like it's not safe to Rome the city in night and to go back to our place and they are going to close the place. We both walked back to our hotel silently. me mostly scolding the security guy in mind mind.

Next day...

We got up late and we started packing as we are checking out today. We are going to Germany. We were now going somewhere for today's dinner. That is a secret to me. Only god know where we are going. oh.. Yash too knows. And right now I am blind folded. yash asked me to get down of the car and he is directing me somewhere and I follow him.
He asked me to sit somewhere And I am hearing yash speaking to someone. But, can't understand what they are speaking. For sometime now, I hate why I didn't learn foreign language.

Yash opened my eye fold as music started to play.
Yash-" small suprise.. My lady.."

I opened my eyes to see a candle light dinner before me in a YACHT. In a middle of a sea. The yacht is decorated so well with roses and white and blue balloons. And no one except us.

Me-" is this a small surprise my dear?"Is he kidding me.

Yash-" you don't like. You said me you wish you want to have a dinner in the middle of a sea. So I arranged it.. If you don't like I will ask the captain to turn..." Oh.. So there is a captain with us. As long he don't disturb us. I am okay...

Me-" no.. Idiot.. This is a big surprise.. Than I dreamt... Loving it here.." Motioning me. He smiled at me. I am smiling as I am enjoying the view..

We started eating. He ordered for the Italian dishes that I liked. Sweet of my hubby. And I am enjoying the my first candle light dinner and also my first officially planned surprise date by my husband.. With some light conversations..

Me-" yash.. Have you had any serious crush or girlfriend before..?"Asked him.. He looked at me a second.

Yash-" what are you expecting ketu?" Asked with a smirk.

Me-" truth.. Man.." I said with a smirk. His face changed into a hard one. Do I expecting truth now??

Yash-" truth.. Then I had one " one??

Me-" one like in crush or girlfriend yash?" It should be only one sided crush..

Yash-" girlfriend.." Great.. Yash... Great..

Me-" when and what happened..? If you don't mind.."Do you want to hear it lady. I don't think you want too.. Yash sighed..

Yash-" I met her while doing my MBA in second year.. And we broke up " nothing specific. How great!. How you met? . What happened to break up?

Me-" story ?" Said hoping he will continue.

Yash-"story..?? ( gave a lopsided laugh).. Okay.. " he said me.

He met her while paying fees for the year. And she was three hundred euro less and he helped her. As it was the last day for paying fees. she accepted and said she will pay him back as soon as she gets back the money from her scholarship. each other exchanged their numbers to give and get the money back. one day he went this coffee shop in the college and ordered a coffee and to see her as the waitress. they got into conversation. Then they slowly become friends and, then somehow he felt he had fallen for her and he asked her to be his girlfriend and she accepted. And they were dated for two years. And just before a year they broke up as she cheating upon him and he realised it that she is not wroth him. And he is not in contact with her now. Which lighted me up But, not the amount to it saddened me. That I am not his first love like he is too me.

We both slept in the yacht room made up of glass. Giving us a feel like we are sleeping under a the roof of sky. With me trying to forgot the memory I desperately learned today. I really loving these honeymoon thing. It is helping me too know about yash. He is becoming more and more of a open book to me. And he is warming up to me and more importantly I am spending time with yash..
