New life (20):
Ila POV :
The spot light was on me and the screen showed just me in a close up. I didn't understand what was happening. I was surprised, shocked and also confused all at the same time. All strange expressions clearly showed on my face and then I looked at Mart urging him to explain what exactly is happening here.
"Alright guys...I'm gonna talk a lot today...please bare with me...Generally I'm not that of a good speaker but somehow I'll just try to make it up today." he spoke to the mike and the crowd were all silent.
"Firstly I've got a list of apologies to make, not many but just a few..." he spoke.
Apologies???
"Hey mom" he waved his hand and the spot light shifted to her. She was just a two chairs away from me and I could see clear confusion and shock in her eyes.
"Mom, I'm really very sorry for being such a bad son" he said with a rather emotional tone that melted my heart. I saw Genne nodding her head as in disagreement.
"Yes mom, I was. I was actually running away from the reality. I couldn't understand what a true love is until I experienced it literally." He eyed me
"I was reluctant to understand your true love mom, I've tried to insult your inner feelings every time; Right mom?" he said as a tear drop escaped his eye. He wiped it away with the tips of his thumb.
Genne became all emotional and she was struggling hard not to let those tears roll down her eyes. I went to her and wrapped my hand around her shoulder tight.
"Mom, I'm extremely sorry for everything and I just wanted to say one thing to you...I love you and...I've always loved you...just couldn't express it in right way."She nodded with a smile and I could say she was really overwhelmed.
"And Greg are you here?" He called out and we looked around to find him at the end of the stage monitoring certain things. He turned around when Mart called out his name and there was surprise crossing all over his face.
"Yeah! Greg, I know all that you tried to do all these years is to just be there for both of us. I had been a complete jerk with you Greg, I'm sorry to you too." He said while looking at him sincerely while Greg just nodded.
"And Mom, I need you to know this. All my life I had just been running away from things. I've adapted all weird ways to run away from the reality. But I've only stopped running and regretting my life when I met a person mom. It's the first time and I know I'm lost mom..." he paused.
"I've lost to that person completely mom; so much that now I've actually realized what I am. I've realized what people around me meant in my life and you could see that change in me, can't you?
Mom, you wanna know who is actually responsible for influencing me so much..?"
I could see Genne eagerly waiting to know all about it and I am completely confused.
"And that person is" he turned around to face the screen behind him and yeah there are no prizes for guessing, it's ME??? Again I was on screen with the spot light on me. Everything around was dark and all I could see was me and Mart both of us under each of the spot light.
You kidding me right??"
"Yes. It's you Ila.You are the person who made me realize my own self. You gave me the courage to live in the reality of my life. You actually are the reason why all of a sudden I started loving my life Ila. I've completely started admiring the life I've been living and now I've no complaints and no regrets; All just because of you." He looked straight into my eyes and I swallowed the hard lump in my throat and tried to take in all that I've just gathered into my mind.
"Ila, Don't be confused. You did nothing but all you did is just being there in my life and that itself is a lot Ila, It made a lot of difference to my life and that's the best part I love about Ila." God! What is he saying? This was something I didn't expect at all. I was completely overwhelmed.
"Okay. I know I am actually being over dramatic and over emotional but hey once for a lifetime you should get dramatic to let all your emotions out and also to confess everything. And that's what I am exactly doing now..." he said and let out a small chuckle through the mike and then looked at me straight as if he was about to say something more. I could see some kind of tension in his face and some kind of emotion in those eyes. Most of all I could completely sense intense love for me in the way he looked at me. I was completely touched and then he lowered his mouth to the mike. "Time for some real confession guys" he spoke. God! He's really killing me with this suspense act. Now what??
I looked down at my feet unable to stare at those eyes that were staring me.
"I love you Ila..." this was enough for me get my eyes back to him. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. It's not that I didn't know this but I didn't think even in my best dreams that he would do something like this and express it in such a way. I could feel my eyes wet from the corner and I was extremely speechless.
"Ila, I am not as good as the character that you have created in that movie in expressing my feelings but I'll try best okay?" he let out a small chuckle and I smiled being completely amazed by him.
"I really love you ila, More than anything in this life. I would love to be with you all the time. I want to wake up every morning with you by my side. I want you to be there for me, fight with me, love me, argue with me and do all that you wanna do but just stay with me the whole life." He paused and he's making it even hard for me to control the urge to run and jump into his arms.
"You are the only one for me Ila.." I sighed a deep one trying to confine my emotions to myself. He finally said what I had been dying to hear and when he said it's in such an awesome way; God! Words are not enough to describe what I'm feeling right now.
I closed my eyes for a moment letting out those tears of joy roll down my eyes and took one more deep breath and then opened my eyes to find him kneeling down on the stage..!!!
"Marry me Ila.." he said with both of his arms stretched across wide once my gaze met his and my hands instantly went to my nose covering my dropped jaw and my legs became week.I was completely hit by a thunder shock. Is this some kind of a dream..? No it's real. He's actually doing it all for real..
I was taking continues deep breaths to hold back my emotions and my eyes were completely wet. I was immensely touched.
"I'm sure we will go through all those as the couple in your story had gone through. I'm sure we will have some bad days that we should face; but I promise you Ila, we will have more of good days than that of those bad ones. I'm completely positive that we will work it out whatever it is if we are together.
Ila, I'm sure we will have to fight through a lot and I will stand by you no matter how hard the situation is. I'm sure we might have to face that one day where we both might want to turn away from each other but I guarantee you Ila, that one day when you and I would want to turn away from each other I would give it a thought for a moment and turn back to you to say- I would rather prefer to die than to be away from you;
And that one day, will you accept me Ila..?" he placed his left hand on his chest and bent his head as a bow.
And that's it. I couldn't stand there any longer. My breath became more and more fast and I took more and more deep sighs letting out more tears but nothing worked. I then saw him getting up on his feet. He stretched his hand.
"Common now I know you are dying to come here, just come baby..." he said chuckling to the audience and they all laughed together.
"Go for him girl..." someone screamed from behind
"Yeah...Common.Go for him..." I heard more voices.
I ran both my hands down my hair, let out one last deep breath and rushed at once from the crowd on to stage. He opened his arms widely and I jumped from a two steps away right into his hands. My feet were in air and my hands locked around his neck as tight as I can. He held me at my waist keeping me in the air and twirling me around, he kissed my hair and whispered...
"Have you ever thought of kissing in front of such a crowd and put up a show for them?"
My closed eyes popped open wide and before I knew he brought my head down from his shoulder to reach my lips and brushed his lips against mine. I didn't resist but responded immediately. Our kisses were passionate and it was like we forgot the entire world around us. We were rewarded by applauds and screams of joy from the crowd there.
He placed me on the ground still kissing, holding onto my jaw with both of his hands. I stood on my toes in order to reach his height and kissed him with all that I had. It felt so right and so perfect at the moment.
Someone cleared their throat behind us and we hesitantly pulled away to find Alex. He stood beside me and bent to look into my eyes. My cheeks were all red filled with blush and I felt so awkward by it that I hid face in crook of Mart's neck while he had his hands around my shoulders.
"Whoa..! Someone's blushing!" Alex shouted through the mike and the crowd cheered all over again. All the three of us went into a group hug. "I'm really very happy for you guys" Alex whispered and we all laughed.
"Genne u seeing this? What do you think?" Alex asked as he came behind us.Genne nodded with amusement filled in her eyes. She raised her thumbs up for Mart and bowed a kiss at me. I blushed again. Mart eyed me and blinked his eye.
And that's how my new life in New York turned out to be a complete surprise to my own self. I have gone through a lot still being able to keep up with my dreams. I met my love here in this new life and I'm sure we should face a lot to make him mine...
***
"You hungry?" Mart asked me getting me out of my thoughts. We were walking along the footpath hand in hand...I just nodded a no.
I'm sure we should face a lot to make him mine...
Yeah..right. I mean we both belong to two different countries and backgrounds not to forget. Well, this just popped into my mind randomly.Not a problem from Mart's family but I'm not sure about my parents though.
I glanced at Mart by my side and he immediately noticed the fresh worry crossing over my face. He gestured a what by raising his eyebrows and I just nodded a nothing. I don't want to ruin the perfect moment now. I moved more close to his side wrapping a hand round his waist and resting my head on his shoulder. He bought our interlocked hands to his mouth and kissed my fingers tenderly.
As long as we are together everything else can fall into the right place when it has to..I smiled to myself at this thought and reached Mart's face to kiss his cheek. Then at that moment it started drizzling a little. We together tilted our heads up to receive the droplets of water. Soon it turned out into a heavy rain but we still stood there none of us actually willing to move.
He tilted my head up to look at him and then and kissed my wet lips as passionately as he can. I locked my hands in his hair bringing his head down to reach my height. He sucked the water droplets from my face and moved his lips against mine. He bit the bottom lip urging me to open my mouth and this time I did open making him invade me completely. Our tongues interlocked and then a moan escaped from me. He smirked at this and still continued as long as he can until I lost my breath. We pulled away to catch up with our breaths.
"New York climate does know when to make it all romantic right?" I said as I caught up with my breath dropping my hands on his shoulders. He placed his hands on the tiny of my waist and grabbed me closer.
"Why not we make it much more romantic..." he said as he pulled me for another kiss and this time it was only getting more and more passionate. He slid his hands under my top and caressed the skin that he touched. I shivered in his embrace and my heart started bumping out of my chest.
"God!! Ila You are driving me crazy..!!" he exclaimed all of a sudden pulling away. This got me back to my true senses. A playful smirk crossed my face..
"Keep it cool until the marriage Mart..." I winked my eye.
"Being typical Indian huh? That's not fair..." He pouted and that was damn really cute. I would surely give up but no. I have some morals confined to me and I would want to keep up to them as long as I can. I grinned widely at him.
"Let's just go get married now common Ila..."
"Mart! Are you crazy?"
"Yes. I am...common...Okay...Tomorrow?"
"Mart..."
"Okay then day after...?"
"Mart stop it..."
He then stopped walking and looked straight into my eyes.
"I love you baby..." he said slowly and clearly. I felt completely over whelmed and kept staring at him with a wide smile on my face.
"Will you even say what I'm dying to hear since god knows how long...?" he asked
"What?" I exclaimed innocently being completely aware of what he meant.
He pouted and looked away. I stood on my toes and gave a light peck on his lips. He was startled; definitely didn't see this coming. He grinned widely with amusement. Then I rested my head on his chest, kissed the place where his heart lies and whispered...
"Mr. Martin Stevenson...I..." I popped my head from his chest and reached his ear... "LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOO" I screamed at once right into his ear.
"Geezzzz! Ila...That was..." he nudged his ear looking at me shocked.
"FANTASTIC..!!" he exclaimed and winked as he lifted me up and twirled around. I laughed as loud as I can with amusement.
And that's what we are-extremely happy and great together.. :)
