Wedding Proposal(II)
Mrinal's mind went blank after the phone call.
‘Please come as soon as possible Mrs. Singh Raizada, your husband's car is found near Mumbai – Nashik highway. He isn't there. Please come as soon as possible.'
And then the person from the other side cut the call.
Mrinal's thoughts again went to that day when his car was found after that accident. Though he wasn't badly injured but still she is afraid about his life. He has enemies from business world and more from underworld.
She quickly cleared her tears and ran towards the main gate with the keys of her car. She didn't bother to call anyone and directly went to the garage. She took out her personal car and started the engine. Tears were rolling down from her cheeks. She only prayed for him. Her vision was getting blurred but still she stayed strong.
Soon she reached the place on the Mumbai – Nashik highway. She stopped her car and came down. Wiping the tears over her cheeks with the back of her hand. She looked around. The place was totally isolated. She looked at her hands, she clutched the phone in her hand. She felt helpless. No one is here to help her. She tried to call back on the number from which she got the call. The number was switched off. She felt more helpless. She kept hand on her pounding her.
*Why did I come without anyone? *
*Please Abhi please stay safe. I am coming to you. *
She looked around and tried to find his car. She again called back on the number again. But it was switched off. Fear engulfed her more.
*Where will I find you Abhi? *
*Where are you Abhi? *
She fell on her knees and cried ducking her head down covering her face with her palms. Suddenly someone tapped on her shoulder. She slowly looked upward. And to her surprise it was her little niece and nephew. Adi and Barsha smiled at her cutely.
‘A..adi. Ba..rsha?!!' She gasped finding these two little munchkins at night in a isolated area of Mumbai far away from Kolkata.
She hugged both of them tightly ‘What are doing here at this time my Loves?'
They were like angels for her but her brain couldn't find any reason of this two being here at past midnight.
Adi and Barsha broke the hug and two little palms wiped her tears.
‘Don't cry Moni come with us. ‘
‘Wher..e and how can you be here at this dangerous place? Where are Dadabhais and boudibhais? You two are fine na?!'
She is more worried for them. The place is indeed dangerous and especially at night. They are kids after all.
‘Moni were fine and happy now Moni come with us na.' Barsha spoke in her cute voice.
‘Yes Moni come with us.'
Two pairs of hands took her towards the dark area of the jungle on the highway. It was like they disappeared from there and went inside the fairy land. Suddenly she saw two big tree bending downwards facing each other which make the entrance to the fairy land village. The big two trees were covered with lights just like welcoming them. Both the kids squeezed her hands ‘Welcome Moni to the fairy land village.'
She looked at them surprisingly ‘What.tt?!'
‘Let's go inside na Moni.' Adi said and both of them softly dragged her inside.
Soon she saw a direction board. She didn't to bother read what was written on it. But Barsha tapped on her arm and said ‘Read it Moni.'
And then only she looked at it ‘Way To Meet Your Husband. Go Ahead MIRA.'
Her eyes widened ‘What is going on?'
‘Come fast na Moni.' An impatient Barsha replied. She went ahead to find a beautiful hut decorated beautifully with flower trees near it. And then she saw her grandparents smiling at her from the window.
*Is it dream? Where am I? *
‘Didun, Dadubhai?!' She exclaimed looking at them. The fairy land village was full of greenery. Most of the trees were flower trees and fruit trees. It can give the soothing relief to human eyes.
‘Go ahead Mira. Love you my dear.' Came her grandmother's reply. She showed the placard ‘You came as a blessings Mira.' – With Love from yours Abhi. And before she could reply she was dragged in front of a cabin. It was also decorated with lights and her elder uncle and elder aunt were sitting on a wooden bench on its premises. They were hooding a small board ‘You are light in my darkness.' – With Love from yours Abhi.
They said in unison ‘Something special is waiting for you Mira. Go Ahead.'
She was feeling like a robot. Again she stood in front of a cottage. It was all cozy from outside and inside. From the upper floor of the cottage her younger aunt and uncle were waving hand. Her younger aunt was very excited. She showed up the floral mood board ‘I know I am not perfect but I am imperfectly yours.' – With Love from yours Abhi. and said ‘Dear Princess all the best.' and flew a flying kiss.
Then she crossed a small bridge made of wood and stood in front of a rancher. She saw her parents. Though she didn't notice the tears rolling down from her parents' eyes. It was tears of happiness. Their daughter is getting the love of her life. In this cruel world it is not difficult but sometimes impossible to get your soulmate. They got each other in their life standing in every difficult moment. Her father hugged her mother and both them hold the placard upward ‘You are my soulmate.' – With Love from yours Abhi.
She couldn't believe all this. All this seems to dream for her. She again came in front of a small and cute bungalow. Devika and Vishal were there. Her eyes widened looking at them. They were about to come tomorrow. But now they are here. Devika was jumping like a kid. Vishal held her close to him and whispered ‘You are still that kid I met in the school playground.'
‘Shut up!!' Said angry Devika but deep down she loved to be pampered by her man. She held up the floral banner ‘You are my soulmate.' – With Love from yours Abhi. and mouthed a ‘We love you sweetheart.'
She was too overwhelmed to react. A surprise after a surprise. Soon she saw a water well. The winch and well head were decorated with flowers. Then she stood in front of tiny home of a rectangular shape. She saw her elder brother and sister – in – law sitting on the small two chairs looking at her in awe ‘You are my strong queen.' – With Love from yours Abhi.
Then Adi and Barsha took her in front of a tree house. There comes the naughtiest brother of her Mridul and his wife Aroni. Being himself Mridul said ‘Please go next door. We are quite busy.'
Aroni smacked his head. ‘Ouch!! that hurts honey.'
‘It should.' came Mrinal's voice ‘Now show me.'
And to her surprise Mridul picked Aroni up and she showed the pretty placard looking a weeding card design ‘You are my cute Baby.' – With Love from yours Abhi. But she laughed hard when she saw something before that ‘The Mafia Says'. Indeed, her younger brother is something different.
As soon as they went ahead he started kissing his wife sensuously.
And at last Adi and Barsha took her in front of a big castle. Her eyes became like a saucer. It was same like she drew on her canvas. The fountain, the entrance, the colour, the architecture everything was same to same. The way towards the castle was covered with flowers. It was her childhood fantasy which came true. As soon as she entered inside the castle her eyes found the king of her heart, her Abhi.
He was sitting on his knees with a pink diamond ring in his hand. Behind her everyone was there. Adi and Barsha already left her hand slowly at the entrance and stood with their family. She only could see Abhi on his knees.
‘Mira I know I am cold-hearted but this heart only beats for you. You are my smile, my heaven, my everything. Will you marry me? ‘
She was too surprised to reply.
‘SAY YES MIRA. SAY YESS!!' Came from her behind. Their family members were shouting in joy.
‘Ye.shh..!!' Came from her mouth. Soon the ring was slipped inside her fourth finger of her left hand.
*This mafia king is hopelessly romantic. *
*************************
‘You know I wanted to slap you hard for making me this helpless. I thought I lost you. I felt lik.. umm.'
She was cut off by his kiss. It was best way to make her shut.
She was really angry on him and specially her two brothers. Who makes this deadly surprise for their sister? But they made sure she was safe. From the house to the fairy land village Abhay's bodyguards were there for her safety. She wanted to fight with them for making her feel so terrible. But the whole family was beyond happy. They are staying in the mansion for tomorrow's function. They will have a grand celebration. He broke the kiss after exploring her mouth.
Soon she was pulled towards his hard chest.
‘Abhi you know I just pray that our journey will be like all the couples of our family.'
She understood his meaning of showing the lovely couples of their family. Each and every couple has their own love story. Different, painful, long lost and beautiful journey of their love.
‘I know Baby. Sleep baby you must be tired.' He hugged her more.
‘Hmm Abhi. Good night!!'
‘Good night Baby.' He pecked her lips and dozed off with her.
