LOVE BEYOND BORDERS

Visit to Wang family

Lin hid his laughter and said it's okay you can use spoon and fork.

Ammu : Oh.. fine..then.

Fuzhi turned back and waited for them. Ammu heard somebody singing hindi song in the music concet.

Ammu : Fuzhi... Do they sing hindi songs here.

Fuzhi : it's an international hotel so they invite worldwide musicians to conduct their concert here. It could be from any part of the world. May be today its from India.

Ammu : Oh...

They entered a private lounge with long table with lots of food around which whole wang family is there. Grandma introduced Ammu as Fuzhi 's friend and they all know Ammu through wechat too. Ammu joined her palms and bends to greet as she was introduced to their grandpa and Lin's parents . This is the first time Ammu is meeting their elder brother Fang. Others she had seen them in their profile picture.

Ammu sat between grandma and Fuzhi, Lin sat near Grandpa who was sitting beside grandma.

Ammu : Fuzhi... Your elder brother is handsome....

Fuzhi : Simi(he does not calls her Ammu)... At first sight you felt so, what about me.... (adjusting his coloar button)

Ammu : Oh... You are my ever favourite bro..

Fuzhi smiles at her and she too.

Lin watching their secret chats gets irritated. He stares at Fuzhi not hiding his irritation.....

Their mother Min observes all this. She becomes suspicious on Lin's behaviour.

Since Lin was there everybody avoided much talking and concentrated on their food. After food grandma requested Ammu to go to Wang family house next day, she had to agree as they all insisted.

Lin went out with his phone pretending to answer a call and after sometime Ammu received a call from him, she answered it and Lin asked her to come down immediately.

Ammu bid bye to everybody and promised to visit Wang family. Fuzhi told he will come at morning to pick her up. She said OK and went downstairs.

Lin was waiting for her in the car. She went down and Yong opened door for her, she smiled and got into the car.

Ammu felt happy to meet them all. She found that only Lin was entirely different from others in his family. All his family members were very friendly and down to earth. While he is very bossy, arrogant and all over that highly reserved . She sat in the car thinking all this, suddenly with a jerk Lin pulled her to his side and held her waist and took her left hand in his right hand.

Ammu : Linn.... You scare me...

Lin : Sing a song for me..

Ammu : huh... [surprised]

Lin : what... Didn't you hear me

Ammu : Hindi song is fine with you, I don't know any Chinese songs...

Lin : hmmm..

He leaned back to the seat and made Ammu to lean to his body resting her head on his shoulder, still holding her waist and hand.

Ammu sang "Kaun tujhe yun pyaar karega" from the movie Ms Dhoni the untold story. The lyrics meaning

"I can feel you in my heart

whenever I breathe

Through the streets of your heart,

I pass everyday"

"you tease me like the free wind,

And I aberrate like loose sand.

Who will love you so much

as I love you ."

The quest of my vision

stops with you

Is there anything more should I say,

Everything that had to be said has been said. "

While singing these two stanzaa she just looked into Lin's hand and she found he is still wearing their wedding ring ,a smile passed through her lips filling her heart. She touched the ring with her right hand and continued singing...

" My eyes long for your eyes

Do you know that, or are you unaware..

I gaze at your eyes while hiding

My feelings for you

Who will love you so much

As I love you"

As you came in my life

My dreams had gone mad

Iam not able to hold the moment

They fly around carefree

You are the reason for my smile

You are the reason for my laugh

Are you aware of it or unaware

The day Iam not able to catch a glimpse of you..

I wander like a mad person

Who will love you so much

As I do... "

Ammu after singing laid on to his shoulder holding his hand. Lin slept long back when she had started singing ,the only person who enjoyed her singing was Yong.

They reached Lin's villa but were still sleeping. Yong saw both of them sleeping holding each other. He just watched both of them for few minutes hesitating to disturb and also was a pleasant sight to watch. Later he called Lin.... boss...

Lin woke up and found Ammu sleeping and he gently shaked her shoulder to wake her up. Ammu woke up and looked at Lin confused..

Lin : Home..

Ammu realised and said hmmm...

They both went inside to their respective rooms. After taking bath Ammu made call to her grandparents and slept.

Next day morning at 7:30 am Fuzhi came to pick up Ammu..

Ammu : Hey you came so early..

Fuzhi : Yes you should join us for breakfast.

Ammu : Should I come so early... Oay wait let me get ready.

She went to her room all excited and wore a grey embroidered salwar with zari and stone. She wore an off white niqaab to veil her scar.

She told Aunt Xun that she is going to wang family with Fuzhi. Just after they left Lin came down to have breakfast, he asked Aunt Xun..

Lin :Where is Ammu..

Aunt : She went to Wang family with young master.

It is then he remembered grandmother's invitation.

Lin sat their to have breakfast with no appetite so he ate just two spoon of rice porridge and left.

At Wang family...

She was happily welcomed and they all sat for breakfast. Ammu was asked to sit beside Fuzhi by grandma. When she was about to sit near him, to everybody's surprise Lin entered the living room. Grandma asked him to come and have breakfast, Lin came and sat near Ammu.

Since she had already told Fuzhi that she don't know to use chopsticks they gave her spoon and fork to have food. They all sat and had food and also talked. Ammu checked Lin's reaction and she found him getting irritated from their talking . After breakfast Lin went out in his car without saying where to.

Lin's mother could feel some strange changes in Lin's behaviour and she enquired to Fuzhi about it.He told it's just her illusion.

Later Fuzhi showed Ammu the entire house and she carried the elder brother's one year old draughter Jei with them while moving around. They went to grandparent's bedroom and chatted for a while. They asked Ammu to sing and she sang songs for them.Fuzhi told grandma that she knows to dance, grandma wanted to see her dance.

Ammu couldn't deny grandma's request so she showed her a classical dance with a song "Ekadantaya Vakrathundaya" it is a song worshiping Lord Ganapathy( God of diety), Since they didn't know the Hindu gods and customs they couldn't understand what she conveyed through her dance but they enjoyed her grace and expressions.

Grandma told her to show another dance after sometime which they can easily understand so she selected a hindi song "Maye ni Maye" from the movie HUM APKE HAI KAUN" [readers, if you want can check online so that has an idea how she danced, to know how intimate Fuzhi and Ammu looked] .

When she was about to dance grandma told her to come to living room.She refused out of shy to dance in front of everybody.Grandma asked Fuzhi to accompany her, he agreed to it and so did she. She showed the last few simple steps and he said he will do it.

In the living room she just told them the theme of the song , via Bluetooth she connected and played the song in the music system, it was bit loud and she started dancing. They all enjoyed her dance and Fuzhi admired her skill and he also later joined with her. They both danced together and it was very nice to see them dance together.

While dancing Ammu didn't notice that her dupatta has fell down from one shoulder revealing her fine curve underneath her shabby dress. She usually use dupatta to cover her front from neck to stomach. it is a part of Indian culture to cover the bosom especially from unknown men as men may stares at their chest. However nowadays shawl had become just a part of the attire.

When Lin came back he saw Fuzhi and Ammu dancing together , he became angry on seeing her dancing with Fuzhi careless with her dress. He had seen her veiling or checking herself that she had covered with shawl whenever she comes in front of Lin. And he can see that now she is too carefree when around his brother .

He went inside and gave her a cold look. When Ammu saw Lin she adjusted her clothes and found the dupatta is not in place, so she immediately adjusted it and covered. Seeing her behaviour he got more angry but couldn't venge on her as nobody except Fuzhi knows that they are married.

After lunch Lin told Ammu that there is an urgent work in her office and she should leave now to office. He said he will drop her. Lin's mother had strong doubt on Lin and Ammu. Lin always finds excuse for not to come to family house and also he is not so open with his colleagues except Yong.

But she noticed Lin came for breakfast today and yesterday also he had dinner with the family. He didnt ask anybody to keep silent while having food. Also he offered to drop Ammu to office. She checked with Aunt Xun and she felt that the maid is hiding something. Xun just told her that second master's friend is staying with him, she didn't mention it's a girl as Min didn't ask.

Ammu got into the car and they left the house. Lin was driving the car rashly and kept his cold look. ,

Ammu : Lin... Your family is good and sweet.... You are so lucky...

Lin :"" "

Ammu got scared out of his rash driving and said..... Lin I think we won't be able to make it to office today, we will end up in heaven....

Lin :" "" "

increased the speed.

Ammu : Lin.... (Holds his forearm with both hands to stop him.)

Lin :" "" angrily halted the car applying a sudden break.

Ammu : What's wrong with you.

Lin himself didn't know why he is behaving so. He just gets irritated when anybody gets close to her and he dont know why he is feeling like that." Ammu I don't like you going in Wang family, stay away from them."He snorted.

Ammu : What... Lin.. I didn't go at my wish, you know it very well right...

Lin : hereafter avoid such situations, get me.... (angrily)

Ammu : OK, and you also tell your family members not to compell me...

Lin : "" ""

Ammu : Why are we going home, you told there is urgent work in office

Lin "" ""

After dropping her in his villa he went back to Wang family. He told Grandma to treat Ammu as only his staff and nothing beyond that. He doesn't like her coming here and it should be the last.

Grandma : You don't order things around here, you can be and do whatever you want in your villa, but not here. She is always welcome here, and she will come here in future also. The reason why I want her here, will let you know later.

Lin angrily snorted " then never in my life I will enter this house."

Grandma ignored him and did not say anything more. Lin went out.

Min : Mother, if he is so adamant.....

Grandma : Don't worry on his fake threats, Iam sure he will enter this house, Regarding Ammu I don't want to have further discussion. Saying so grandma went inside.....

While driving back Lin thought how to distract Ammu from getting close to his family.

Next day,Ammu went to office she was excited to see the mail from HR department approving her leave for 10 days. She overwhelmed with happiness and on reaching home in the evening she called Aunt Xun and told that she is very happy today. She played the song "Mere Khwabon mein Jo aaye" and started dancing....

Aunt Xun asked why she is so happy she said Iam going home next week.

Xun : You won't come back...

Ammu : Of course I will come (pulling Xun's cheeks) , it's only for 10 days Aunt.

Xun Smiled ...

She continued dancing in between and received a call and ran upstairs gesturing Xun to wait.. Xun smiled and suddently saw Lin at the door watching them.

Lin : Aunt Xun... What's happening

Xun : Master, she is happy to go for a vacation...

Lin : Not that, why all this loud music.. And mess.

It's then Xun noticed that the song is still playing. She suddently turned it off,. Ammu called out from upstairs.." Oh aunty why did you off it... It's a nice song, will you stitch me a white skirt for that song...

Xun :'' '' ''

Lin : what's going on here.

Xun : Master, Ammu dance wearing the attire similar to the heroines in the song. I help her with the dress...

Lin...

She is a shy, humble, hardworking, rigorous and polite person in front of others but with him and in his house she is astubborn , melodramatic and childish person..... what is she,which is she....

Lin : Aunt Xun, tell her that I don't want such dramas in my house

Xun : OK master, but not sure whether she will listen to me...

Lin : "" "

Ammu came shouting "Aunt Xun why did you stop,.... Lin... Lin" running to him and held his hands in her hands and told him with all her excitement "I got my leave sanctioned .. Iam going home next week...

Lin:" ""

Ammu breathing heavily "Iam going home...home ... Lin ( shaking his hand...)
