Chapter 31 Matured

The students ended their strike as if of no use now. They were not happy with Vardaan's resignation, but things were not in their hands too. They started packing their stuff to go home for vacation. Sanyukta was not ready to go home. She had packed her stuff a few days back, but was still not leaving the campus. She kept pacing to and fro in her room. One by one all her friends started leaving everyday. Sanyukta made a lame excuse to her friends that her family had gone to Shimla and no one was there at home. Hence, she was going to stay in the hostel.

Sanyukta went out of her room to get some air. Her mind was confusing her to the fullest. She went to the garden and sat on the bench. She looked at the stars which were very less as compared to everyday. She started with her thinking again. She read the letter again for the umpteenth time.

Sanyukta: (thinking) "Did I do the right thing? The entire college protested. And I did not. Is he really leaving FITE? Leaving India? Forever? Should I talk to him once? But, what will I talk about? Should I stop him? What? No, I won't. Why should I? It's his decision, why the hell should I interrupt?"

She ran her hand through her hair and the next thing she knew was she on the highway, waiting for a cab to go his home. It started raining and she didn't even have an umbrella. "Damn yar!", she thought. Within minutes, she was completely drenched. Finally, she saw a cab approaching and waved her hand to stop it. The driver stopped and she got in. She provided the driver with the details and he drove off. After an hour, the cab reached the given address. She paid the driver and got out. It was raining tremendously. "F***k, this rain", she chided. She saw his house after a long time. She slowly opened the gate and her eyes fell on the saplings that they had planted. They had grown by a good height. She stood in front of the door and was thinking whether she should ring the bell or not, by raising her hand up and down. Finally, she inhaled and rang the bell. But, she again lost confidence in just a span of seconds and turned around to run away. Vardaan opened the door and he saw Sanyukta's back. He called out to her, "Sanyukta?" She closed her eyes and turned to face him. He could not believe she was actually standing in front of him. He wanted to fall on her feet, hug her, cry in her arms and apologize to her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. He saw that she was completely drenched from head to toe in rain, water dripping from her face and from her hair and her clothes too. She looked beautiful as ever. He shrugged his thoughts.

Vardaan: "Oh my god. You are drenched. Come. Come inside."

She went inside and he closed the door. He went inside to get her a towel and she was still standing near the door. He looked back at her.

Vardaan: (hesitantly) "You can come inside."

Sanyukta: (Hesitantly) "No. No, it's fine. The carpet will be soiled. You see, I am completely wet."

She bit her tongue at her last statement and her choice of words. It had a cheap double meaning attached to it. Vardaan smiled but instantly hid it.

Vardaan: "No, it's OK. And waise bhi, it doesn't matter now. I am leaving this place tomorrow. Come in. I'll get you a towel."

You see I've almost packed my stuff. He said pointing towards a few luggage bags. He went inside the bedroom. She just stood there crumpling the letter in her hand. She took the towel from his hand and wiped her hair, face and hands. She looked mesmerising with damp hair. She caught him dropping his jaw and looking at her. He instantly averted his gaze. He motioned her to sit on the couch and she obliged. She sat on the extreme corner of the couch. She recollected that this was the same couch on which they had shared their first mutual kiss. He asked her if she wants some water. She nodded her head in negative.

Vardaan: "So?"

Sanyukta: "So?"

Vardaan: "I mean, you here? Why?"

Sanyukta: (thinking) "Right...why? If I had the answer to that question, I would not have come rushing to your house, especially in this condition."

She was silent. She was fidgeting with her kurta and he was waiting for an answer. After a few minutes, he again asked her.

Sanyukta: "Umm...Ya. I wanted to ask you...umm...you know."

She fumbled with words for some more time and she left the matter. She picked up her wallet.

Sanyukta: "Umm...nothing. I think, I should leave."

She hurriedly stood up to go and there was a sound which both of them heard. She turned behind to see that her kurta was torn. It had a huge cut from the side near her waist. She quickly held it to cover her bare skin which was now visible. Vardaan averted his gaze. She got very conscious. She headed to go.

Vardaan: "Sanyukta, wait. It's raining really heavily and there is a problem of water clogging in this area. Yaa, sure there is. If you don't trust me, open the door and see for yourself. It's not safe."

Sure, she did not trust him. She stomped towards the door and opened it. He got her a torch. With the help of a torch, she saw that the area in front of his house was indeed filled with water. "Luck is definitely not on my side", she thought. He closed the door. She looked at the wall clock. It was 10:30 PM. Well, the hostel deadline was also over. She closed her eyes in confusion. Vardaan understood it.

Vardaan: "umm...will you mind if I offer you a suggestion?"

She looked at him.

Vardaan: "You can stay here tonight. You get up early in the morning and leave."

Sanyukta widened her eyes hearing his suggestion. One side of her brain was angry and other side was telling her to think logically.

Vardaan: "I mean. Don't get me wrong. You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch."

She looked here and there thinking of all the options she had, which she had none; and half-heartedly agreed to the offer. She was still holding her kurta which was torn from one side. She couldn't manage like this.

Sanyukta: "OK. Waise bhi, I don't have any options."

Vardaan moved from there to get pillows and blankets for himself from the bedroom. She called him from behind.

Sanyukta: (hesitantly) "Aah..umm..wait. Umm...do you have something to wear?"

Vardaan: "Yes, I have clothes to wear."

He was surprised at her question.

Sanyukta: "No. No. I mean to say, do you something that I can wear?"

She repeated her question again stressing on the "I".

It then clicked him that yes, her clothes were stuck to her body and water was continuously dripping from them. It was also torn. But, what could he offer?

Vardaan: "Oh, umm...wait let me see."

He frantically searched his cupboard. He finally found one extra long shirt. There was nothing for the bottom, since everything was packed. He was hesitant to give, only that to her. Walking slowly, he went to the living room.

Vardaan: "Umm..here take this."

She took it and unfolded it to see it carefully. "A white shirt, only??", she exclaimed in anger. She twitched her eyebrows in anger and was about to shout at him. Vardaan spoke just before that.

Vardaan: "Look, I know, this is very inappropriate. But, right now, I have only this. Everything is packed and I am confused which stuff is in which bag. But, you don't worry. You change in the bedroom and sleep there itself. Don't open the door till morning. In the morning, your clothes would be dried up. I have also kept a needle and a thread on the table besides the bed, in case you want to sew your dress."

She looked at him dropping her jaw and comprehending each and every statement.

Sanyukta: "If that is so, then OK, I'll manage. But, don't you dare to come in the bedroom till morning. And that too, I'll open the door first. Only then, you can enter."

She said raising her index finger at him. Vardaan smiled and said, "OK. I won't enter. You can trust me on that."

Sanyukta was surprised hearing that. She replied, "Really? You think so? Still?"

His face fell. Her felt like a dagger had crossed his heart. He looked down, wiped his tear and signalled her to go. His tear did not go unnoticed by her. She moved towards the bedroom. She changed her clothes, switched off the lights and got in the sheets. She switched the lamp on, and again read the letter, that she had clutched in her hands since a long time. She turned and tossed in the bed. She had come here to talk to him and she had still not uttered a word. She was getting restless and impulsive. She immediately got up from the sheets and stormed in the living room. She switched on the lights and looked at him. He had not slept. He had his eyes open and was surprisingly looking at her. "Get up, I want to talk to you about something", she told him. He had to admit she looked like an ethereal beauty in his shirt. The sleeves were hanging on her hands. The shirt was so loose, that air was easily passing through it, making it swell at times. She had to fold her hands to keep it in place. It was translucent and Vardaan couldn't help but try to look for more. Her legs, they were so milky white and smooth. The shirt was short enough to get his attention and long enough to cover the necessary parts on her legs. In short, it ended a little above her thighs. The red nailpaint on her foot nails was complementing her complexion. And more to add to her sexiness was her damp hair. She caught him ogling at her and she twisted her lips. She cleared her throat with full attitude, signalling him to come out of his dream land. He quickly averted his gaze and spoke in a rather timid voice sitting on the couch. She pulled a chair near the dining table and sat on it, crossing her legs. She knew Vardaan was ogling.

Vardaan: "Umm...yaa, tell me."

Sanyukta: "I want to tell you that...that..."

Vardaan raised his eyebrows questioning her.

Vardaan: "That??"

Sanyukta was getting irritated with herself. She looked here and there.

Sanyukta: "Umm...nothing. Good night."

She stormed into the bedroom banging the door. Vardaan was super confused. "Weird...iss ka dimag pehele se hi khiska hua hai", he thought and went back to sleep. After a few thirty minutes or so, she again came to the living room and switched on the lights. "Get up, I want to talk to you", she again said switching on the lights again. He was sleepy, but managed to sit on the couch. He yawned.

Vardaan: "Now, what?"

Sanyukta: "How can you sleep when..."

She started pacing to and fro in the living room. Vardaan observed her antics. She was super confused and so was he. She ran her hands through her head. At times, she kept her hand on her forehead. She had to say so much. Words were on her tongue but something was obstructing her. At times, she sat on the chair. At times, on the couch. She drank some water as well. Many a times, she opened her mouth to say, but then again closed it shaking her head left and right. This went on for around half an hour. Neither she was sleeping nor was she letting Vardaan to sleep. Finally, she came and stood in front of the couch, where Vardaan sat.

Sanyukta: "OK...With great difficulty I am telling you and I still don't believe that I am telling you this; ...Don't go!"

Vardaan looked up at her and dropped his jaw.

Vardaan: (Thinking) "Did I hear the correct words? Did she tell me to not go?"

He stood up.

Vardaan: "Huhh... what?"

Sanyukta: "Yes, I don't know what's going on in my mind. I am having these mixed feelings and emotions. I am getting insane thinking about it day and night. I can't decide what's right and what's wrong. My heart is saying something and my mind is saying something else. I just don't know what I want."

She stopped for a few seconds and looked at his handsome confused face. His jaw line was still the same. The manly look he donned everytime, gave her butterflies in the stomach.

Sanyukta: "I mean..may be, may be, we should change our perspective. What do you think?"

Vardaan: (confused look) "Huhh...umm...ya, right. We should change our perspective."

"Whatever that means", he thought. Sanyukta pushed him slightly on his chest and he sat on the couch. He was stunned by what she did next. He had never seen this side of hers. She came near him. She lifted, folded her one leg up and rested her knee on his left side on the couch and her other knee rested on his right side on the couch. She took support on his shoulders and slowly, she sat on his lap facing him. So basically, he was locked from both sides by her milky white, smooth and sexy legs and her small round ass was on his lap. He felt a current pass through him. He opened his mouth to comprehend everything.

Vardaan: "Huhh...umm...Sanyu..."

Sanyukta: "Ssshh!"

She kept her finger on his lips. "Now, I will talk and you will have to listen", she said huskily. He nodded. Of course there was no other option. Not that, he wanted any. This was the best position he could ever be.

Sanyukta: (looking straight into his eyes) "That letter which you had written, did you mean it?"

Sweat beads formed on his forehead. He was nervous, by her question and by the position in which they were in.

Sanyukta: "I think, I've asked you something. Did you mean it?"

She said, holding his collar in rage.

Vardaan: "Hmm...yes. Every word of it. You have no idea, how much I cried while writing it."

Sanyukta softened her gaze.

Sanyukta: "Really? Then why did you hurt me? I told you no, but you were in no mood to listen. You just wanted to satisfy your lust, you ego, your insecurity. You have no idea, how much it pained me."

She was in tears. Tears were upto the brim of his eyes as well.

He raised his hands to caress her face, but then put it down thinking, he has lost the rights.

Vardaan: "I am really sorry. I know I am wrong. I shouldn't have done that. I should have trusted you. Uss din se ab tak main ek raat bhi chain se nahi soya hu. Tumhari yeh roti hui soorat aankho ke saamne aati hai. Jeene nahi de rahi hai. Which is why I am leaving. Agar main tumhare saamne raha, toh tumhe uss dard ki yaad aati rahegi. Tumhe bhi chain se jeene nahi degi."

Sanyukta: "And what do you think? Agar aap mujhe chodke chale gaye, toh aap ko meri yaad nahi aaegi? Itna hi pyar kiya hai mujhse?"

Vardaan looked at her in disbelief. He held her face.

Vardaan: "Itna zyaada pyar karta hu, ke tumhari khushi aur acche future ke liye hi tumhe chod kar jaa raha hu. Main tumhe kabhi bhula nahi paaunga. Aur naahi, kabhi kisi se payar kar paaunga. Chaahe main kahi bhi rahu, tumhare liye hamesha mere dil se dua hi niklegi."

He stared crying and she too was not able to control her tears. She cupped his face, leaned towards him and joined her forehead with hers. They just cried for sometime, holding each other.

Sanyukta: "I love you. I really love you Vardaan."

Vardaan opened his eyes. This was the first time she had actually addressed him as Vardaan and not Vardaan Sir. She hugged him crying profusely. He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. She leaned in slowly for a kiss and he reciprocated it. They French kissed.

Vardaan: "Main tumse kuch puchna chaahtha hu."

Sanyukta: "Kya?"

Vardaan: "Can you give me one more chance? Please? Just one. Last chance. This time, I will never let you down. I promise."

She smiled. Her confusion was cleared now. Her heart ached to hear these words since a very long time.

Sanyukta: "How can you be so foolish? If I never wanted to give you a chance, why do you think, would I sit on your lap? And that too, in this compromising position?"

He smiled at her reply and also at his foolishness. She leaned closer again and they started kissing. This time all the pent up emotions were let out. It was very passionate. They kissed and kissed and kissed with no one ready to back off. He really missed her soft lips and her taste as well. They broke the kiss and he held her waist and she was in heaven. He gave wet kisses on her jawline. Her earrings were obstructing his path. He removed them slowly and resumed. She leaned back bringing her neck to him. He kissed her neck left and right. His strong masculine breath on her neck was driving her crazy. She held on his head and digged it deep into her neck. She closed her eyes to enjoy the moment. His hands trailed on to her legs on his side. They were so smooth. Sanyukta felt goosebumps on her body on his touch. They again resumed kissing. His hand went to her back and was trailing smoothly over her back. His fingers were creating some rare magic on her. He was making small circles on her back and waist and she felt ticklish at the same time she was getting turned on by it. He proceeded upwards towards her bra and opened it. He trailed his one hand towards her breast and held it. He started caressing it, pressing it slightly and she was in a different world. His other hand was engrossed in her hair. She was moaning with pleasure. Tonight, she didn't want him to stop. She wanted more of this. He held her encircling her waist and made her sleep on the couch. She laughed at this. He came over her and kissed her forehead with all his love and affection. He kissed her eyes recollecting how much she had cried and kissed her chubby cheeks as well. She pulled him towards her lips and they once again began exploring each other. He went on to shower wet kisses on her shoulder and neck. She pulled him closer embracing him. She ran her soft fingers through his hair.

They looked into each other eyes and yes, they had read each other's mind correctly. Their eyes were filled with passion. He got up from the couch and lifted her up. Her shirt went up. He took her to the bedroom and carefully placed her on the bed. He swallowed the beauty on his bed through his eyes. Telling that she looked sexy would be an understatement. She had proper flesh at all the proper places. Thanks to her kathak of course. She was glowing with happiness and love. She pulled his hand and he landed near her face. "Are you only going to ogle at me? Or are you going to do something?", she asked. He joined her on the bed and covered themselves with the sheets. He removed his t-shirt and kissed her face. He kissed her neck blowing air in between. She felt ticklish. She rolled over him and was on top of him. She sat on him, with her legs on each of the side and was kissing his manly chest at different places. She kissed his eyes and his handsome face, including his jawline, which she always drools upon. She kissed his lips biting it a little and went on to his neck giving sweet kisses. He held her waist and rolled her over. Now, he was over her. He kissed her lips, exploring her sweetness. He sucked onto her tongue. He had missed this so much. He opened the buttons of her shirt and looked at her bosom. He kissed and sucked her cleavage. She removed her bra and her breasts were out in the open for him to feast on. He looked at her. She had her eyes closed. He pressed, squeezed, kissed, licked and sucked each of her breasts. He slightly bit her nipples and she moaned, running her hands on his back and hair. He went down her body kissing every area. He was licking her entire body. He kissed her belly and sucked her navel. "What the hell, is he doing?", she thought moaning in pleasure. She felt something hard hit her. But, tonight she wasn't scared at all. He ran his hands on her smooth legs and slowly separated them. He came near her ear and huskily said, "If you want me to stop, please tell me so. I would stop immediately."

She naughtily smiled and said, "By, the way, you had just now promised me on the couch that you won't let me down. So come on, your test begins now." He smiled and went on with the process. Initially, it pained her. She clasped on to the sheets. He asked her again, if she wanted him to stop. Without saying anything, she pulled him onto her again. Within minutes, both of them were moaning. She took his name with pleasure and he went on and on, up and down, in and out, kissing her everywhere. His name never sounded so good to him. "This is the best thing that science can never explain", she thought. It was a combination of stimulation and the wonderful feeling of being stretched and entered. She felt wonderful to be filled up. When he used to be out, she used to wait with anticipation for him to be in. She had no clue what was happening to her. She felt secured and protected being under him. She was breathing heavily and she felt some kind of a reaction happening in her body. It was comfortable, exciting, erotic and pleasurable, all at once.

He felt like he's in a trance like state. Her skin was a combination of silk, satin and velvet. He wanted to be playing with her forever. He felt like he was passing the core of his soul to her. He felt like challenging himself with every stroke. Her scent, her moans, her body were driving him crazy. He felt like never leaving her, to be with her for every second, every minute, and every moment of his life. Her soft fingers were running on his back and he felt a shiver pass through him. He felt that she deserved all the happiness and the pleasures of the world and he was ready to shower them on her. Hearing his name from her sweet mouth, gave him an inspiration. She was tight and he found it to pleasurable to take pain in entering her and coming out of her. With every stroke, he was exploring her deep inside. He felt that she was tailor made, only for him. He kissed and sucked on to her breasts to increase the pleasure. He just loved this feeling of being inside her. At times, he used to be slow and at times fast. Both of them hit the epitome of extreme pleasure simultaneously and they shuddered. After some time, they were tired. He slowly came out of her and rested next to her. He turned towards her and kissed her features once again. She was too tired to even respond now. He stretched his hand and she came in. She rested her head on his shoulder, hand on his chest and was in deep slumber within minutes. He smiled looking at her and closed his eyes after kissing her forehead. Thus they slept hugging and cuddling to each other.

Vardaan was the first to wake up. But, he did not get out of the bed. He did not want to disturb his angel who was sleeping peacefully on his shoulder. She looked really cute while sleeping. He played with her hair, smelling them in between. Slowly Sanyukta opened her eyes, lazily stretching her arms. She looked at him and again hugged his chest smilingly.

Vardaan: (smiling) "Hi. Good morning."

Sanyukta: "Hmm...morning."

Vardaan: (teasingly) "How was your night? I hope you had a good sleep."

Sanyukta: "Good? The best one in ages!"

Vardaan: "So come on. The exam is over. Tell me my marks. Did I let you down? How I am in bed?"

She blushed heavily and said, "Ten on Ten mister." They laughed. He hugged her with love.

Sanyukta: "I hope you won't leave me and go."

Vardaan kissed her forehead and nodded in negative saying, "Never ever".

She looked at the alarm on the table.

Vardaan: "Umm...do you mind, if I bathe first. I'll make breakfast for you."

Sanyukta: "OK. No problem."

He tried to get down from the bed. But, then he got shy. He told her, "Close your eyes and look there". She started laughing. "What!! You are shyer than me", she said. She closed her eyes and looked in a different direction, while he tip toed into the bathroom, leaving Sanyukta rolling and laughing on the bed.
