SHE was the most astounded and shocked human at the face of the earth at that moment. Who the hell was she seeing? Raghav? From which part of the earth did he emanate from?
She was too dumbfounded to move as she just stood there at the verandah and watched. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw her, surprised as well.
Rina looked behind him and found out he had come there with just the person who had driven the car, no guards, nothing. He wasn’t even dressed as a Prince. How the hell did he find her?
“Su… sunshine?” He stuttered and ran into the verandah where she stood, and without ado, wrapped his arms around her.
She was so gobsmacked that she couldn’t even reciprocate the hug, but just stood. The tears came flowing down her face in a jiffy, and she cried.
He disengaged from the hug when he noticed she was already whimpering, though his hands still held onto her elbows.
Then he brought his mouth to her teary eyes and kissed each, she felt the sensation as her stomach tightened, and she let out a wail.
“My God! Am I dreaming?” She asked herself and looked away.
He shook his head in the negation.
“No sunshine, this is happening live, and direct, I’m here for you”, he said.
She turned her gaze to him, staring straight into his eyes as all the past events after he left for the business training came flooding back. From the time she found out she was pregnant, then to when the Queen found out too, and to when she finally took them away from Shimla, to a faraway land, and lastly, the day she had birthed his son. She wondered if he even knew about the baby.
The tears intensified. Where was he all those times? Where was he when she needed him the most? Where the hell was he?
“I’m so sorry princess, I’m so sorry”, he softly spoke.
Jeez! Her stomach tightened the more, like she was gonna faint the next minute. Her love, her man was back for her.
She couldn’t hold herself anymore and immediately wrapped her arms around him, pouring out all her sorrow in tears.
“I missed you Raghav… I missed you”, she said.
“I missed you more baby”, he replied her.
“Don’t leave me again please, don’t leave me”, she pleaded.
“Cross my heart princess, I won’t, I’m here for you now”, he replied and she disengaged from the hug, then looked into his eyes.
From his eyes her gaze travelled to his nose, and then his mouth. She wasted no time in locking his mouth with hers, in a very passionate kiss.
Their tongues rolled in ecstasy, and she mourned out. Holy shit! She had so missed this, so missed her man. The excitement she felt at that moment, was better seen than imagined.
Slowly, they stopped the kiss and stared into each other’s eyes for a long time. Then her face broke into a smile, and she stiffened a laugh, and the next thing, she bursted into laughter and rested her head on his chest. Hmm, she could smell his cologne, how she had so much missed it too.
He laughed as well, feeling her body in his arms, feeling her warmth.
“Oh goodness! I seriously need a spank on the ass for leaving my world one minute”, he said and she laughed.
“You actually deserve twenty four of it babe”, she replied and he laughed.
He raised up her head to look into her beautiful eyes.
“It’s okay, man is here for you now”, he said and the biggest smile she had ever had, played on her face.
“Thank you”, she said and he kissed her hair, this red hair of hers mesmerizes him no end.
They remained standing in a hug for some minutes, then Raghav disengaged, and turned towards the car, the driver was there standing close by.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
He just wasn’t the driver, he was actually the one who had helped him find his woman.
“Who is that?” She asked.
He sighed.
“That is the private investigator who had helped me find you. We did it together though”, he replied.
“Oh!” She mouthed.
“Can we just go in? There is a lot to talk about”, he said and she smiled, and led the way into the house.
“Wait, how about him?” She asked.
“He gonna wait”, he said and she shrugged.
They got into the living room and the first thing his eyes rested on, was her drawing on the board, which she was doing before he arrived.
“Jeez!” Raghav exclaimed, obviously marvelled at the art. There was no mistaking, no doubts, the beautiful art of work on the drawing board was him! She had drawn him.
“Wow Rina, your hands are blessed”, he said and hugged her. She laughed. Laughed so well, she was ready to laugh now.
“Thank you Maharana. Have you forgotten?” She asked and sat down on a sofa, Raghav sat beside her.
“Please babe, remind me”, he said.
“I was a student of an arts and painting school huh”, she said.
He laughed.
“Don’t mind me, I know”, he said.
“This was the only way I could communicate and connect with you Maharana, by making a drawing of you”, she said.
“I see”, he nodded.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
“Wow, I can’t believe this is happening, I can’t believe I would ever set my eyes on my first love again. Jeez! I’m so happy to see you Maharana, we really have a lot to talk about, I…”, a kiss on her lips shut her up.
“It’s okay. I’m here now, for you”, he said, looking deep into her eyes, she felt the connection instantly and she bent forward and rested her head on his shoulder, he wrapped his right arm around her.
Rina felt secured in his arms. But wait, was he even aware she was pregnant? Like did he know she had a baby for him?
“Yeah, I do”, he said, cutting into her thoughts.
She sprang up immediately.
“You what?” She asked, her eyelids flickering in utmost shock.
He twisted his lips.
“We have a son together”, he spilled the beans.
“What!” She exclaimed and got up, he got up too.
“We… it is a boy? Oh my!” He immediately wrapped his arms around her.
“Yeah, a boy”, and he stood straight, “I know everything now Rina, everything, except the story from your side which you haven’t yet told me”, he said.
“Oh my! I can’t believe this. It is a boy? My son!”
He smiled.
“Our son”.
“He is alive?” She asked, and he nodded looking befuddled, why would she ask that? Didn’t she know?
“Yeah, he is very much alive. Why would you ask that? Jeez! I really need to hear your story”, he said and made her sit, then he sat beside her.
“I… I thought he was dead as the Queen had said…”, his eyebrows furrowed at the mention of ‘the Queen’, she continued, looking away.
“… I never even knew he was a boy, I wasn’t opportuned to see my baby before he was taken away from me”, she turned to him, “please, Maharana, take me to my son, I wanna see him, I wanna feel him, I wanna carry him, please Maharana”, she pleaded.
He sighed.
“I will princess, I will take you to your son, he is safe and okay. But first, I need to listen to your story, what actually took place with you, while I was away?” He asked.
She sighed deeply and relaxed more into the sofa, ready to tell him all he needed to know.
