PART 22
He knitted his brows seeing her sight, as he dumped his cologne bottles in the canvas bag, grossed out at the thought of keeping his trip strictly onto just professional grounds and nothing else,
the gray matter in his brain pitching in, questioning his changed and new way of living, in astonishment, in wonderment, why man, why the hell am i just gonna keep it ta business only...i haven't been ta hawaii in ages..what about the fun, them high jinks i am suppose ta have, i have a life too,
AMMY MAN, its NOT RIGHT, his heart yelped, ye are married for god sake, just look at her, she is the sweetest thing in yer life, you don't wanna hurt her, he could sense the smuttiness, the
indecency of doing something lewd this time, buh what about me...like what have i done, why am i asked to compromise that laugh, that fun i used to have before...this is shit man, shit,
this constant shindy between his heart and mind irked him, what's wrong with me,
She stuck her lip out, pouting at her appearance in the mirror, her florid, reddened nose nauseating her cognizance, she dilated her eyes, expelling the puff, her hands exigently raising up, covering her mouth with the tissue paper and she hacked her throat, sneezing atlast,
'ufff...I am SICK', she moaned audibly, fagged from the day's events, annoyed by his departure, needled by her bugged condition, dismayed on the thought of being alone in their huge, natty
bedroom, all by herself for the whole two days,
'Why the hell don't ye lie down then', he crossed, trying to pile up all the tender loving care and get rid of it, getting an eyeful of her standing before him in purple, perky looking pyjamas,
she lifted her gaze, taking a gander of him glaring at her, surprised at this sudden change in his behavior,
'um', she tucked her fringe behind her ear timidly and approached him, keeping a hand on his muscled shoulder,
'is everything okie armaan', she asked politely, the same amiable and pleasant tone calming his senses down, his heart clinching the obvious, flickering light on the affection, the tenderness, the adoration he is feeling for her,
Her eyes amplified, belching out the air in a sneeze, she made a wry face but looked at him, making his heart burst in pash hearing her ducky, peaked sneeze, that hushed the riling noises in his mind, he smiled seeing her flushed nose,
'did ye take the aspirin', he questioned, in concern,
she nodded, smiling back at him, loosing her heart to the care he is showing her, loving the attention,
'alrite', he mumbled and zipped up his bag, all set to leave,
she sighed with a heavy heart, getting a load of him wearing his jacket, 'okie then...good luck with your deal', she murmured, the mopes, the dismals rushing back to her,
he bit his lip, seeing the funk on her face, feeling sick at heart, he took her in his arms, wanting to sense the warmth, the amore that he feels every time he touches her, she mugged his waist, digging her face in his neck, in sadness, relishing the solace in his flippers,
'okie ye take care alrite...i dont even know how you caught this bug all of a sudden...buh just keep taking them aspirins...ye'll be grand', he muttered and parted away, leaning in, in spite of his prancing throbs, he snogged her cheek, kissing it emotionally making her gasp, she took the kiss to her heart and kept a hand on his rough, barely stubbled jowl,
'have a nice time armaan....and don't just keep working away', she murmured, brushing the fringe away from his forehead and smiled,
his smile broadened in passion with her mushy words, he nodded and went downstairs,
she weaved and sagged on the bed feelingly, cheerless from his departure...
'arre yaar...kia baat hai...tu apni pehli deal ke liya jaa raha hai...khushi khushi jaa', billy burbled, getting an eyeful of this tizzy on his son's face, this worry,
'yaa um...thanks daa', Armaan hugged him,
'acha sun...the conference is going to be held at the hilton...son its a big thing...i trust you bache, i know you won't let me down', billy gave a pat on his shoulder in advocacy and he sat inside the car, heading towards the Airport, glum on the fact of not being near her for the whole two days, questioning himself on this crabby behaviour...
----
'man she didnt talk ta me today too', he mumbled, running a hand through his hair, balked at the state of their relationship, frustrated as none of the two were making any advances, i can't always be the one to lay the stepping stone, why is she doing this, there was a sense of certainty in him, he was sure about his feelings, he was sure he likes muskaan, he was sure about his fondness towards her, he sighed, longing to hold her in his arms and feel the passion, he didn't want to rush in with anything and hurt her, he couldn't hurt her anymore,
his mind recalled the events that came about when he went to see her, to break the ice between them, their kiss, how he wanted to feel those plush lips on his again, her gorgeous face, how he wanted to tuck that curly lock behind her ear and tell her he likes her, he is crazy about her, she needs time man, his mind pointed out,
the way she kept breaking her gaze during the take over ceremony yelped out this verity that she needs to think about these betiding events in her life, she needs time to register this situation,
he wanted to wait until she gives her answer but he wanted to be with her too, he yearned to be close to her, to hug her, to get to know her better, because we never talked properly, he thought, but this distance was getting on his nerves, it was recking him, how much time is she gonna take, this stiffness between them was frustrating him, it was dashing his hope, what if she says no,
'godd, i am acting like a weirdo', Rahul uttered and slumped on the couch...
-----
She was lost in her deep thoughts when a loud jingling of bells shook her out, she hissed, 'I never get time to myself', getting hold of her phone, she widened her eyes in a dazzle, seeing his name flashing on the screen, 'ATUL', she grumbled, recieving the call,
'oh hi anji', he pursed his lips in a hope, not wanting to create an awkwardness between them,
'oh my god...is it really you, idiot, why didn't you call me in these two months', she rambled loudly, caring less about her parents sitting downstairs,
'well i am calling you now', he sniggled, amused at her friendly tone, i thought she'd find it odd if i call her, thank god, phew, he looked up, feeling at ease,
'yes and that too after two whole months...you don't know how much i mi..', she stopped short, holding in, not wanting to blurt out her feelings, her thoughts, she missed him, an unusual sensation bursted forth within her, something that wanted her to squeal in glee, in delight,
he smiled, getting the hang of her emotions, his state was no better, he missed her too, he couldn't stop thinking about her, he didn't know why but this time this attraction, this beguin, this torch felt like it was going to last long, it raised his spirits, it chippered him,
'em...so hows your life going up in states', he asked, putting a nib on the klutzy silence...
---------------
She howled, bobbing on the bed, stretching her legs, cambering them, bored, cloyed in the lull, noiseless room, she sneezed, 'uff main kiya karoon', grubbing her face in the cushy, velvet covers,
'i miss you armaan', Ridhima pouted, peering her gaze out the window, catching sight of the gloaming sky, giving hints of the dimday, 'huh', She frowned hearing the sudden bangs on her door and got out of the cosy bed,
'ridzi darwaaza khol', Anji called out, knocking the door once again,
'arre', she mouthed and twisted the knob, opening it, knitting her eyebrows, giving an angry glare to her two musketeers, standing outside her room, open - mouthed, staring at her, 'kiaaa', she asked, annoyed with their weird tenue, first they bang loudly on my door and now they are standing here, ogling at me as if i am from mars or something,
'ridzi...what happened ta yer hair sweety', muskaan came further and touched her messed up hair, with a bated breath,
'stop', she griped, jerking muskaan's hand away from her hair and went back to the bed, slightly irritated,
'and yer room....ridzi...everything is disordered, your vest is going everywhere....goddd', a bewildered anji followed her in the room after muskaan,
'it has been a day since yer man is gone ta hawaii..and look at yer room...', she sat beside ridhima on the bed, worried about her bummed out condition,
'i am sick', ridhima groaned,
'lets go out then....ye need fresh air...ye know anny aunty is getting worried about you as well...haina muskaan', she rambled, bringing a lost muskaan back from her head trip, ridhima sighed, laying her head back on the pillow,
'huh...haan...she was like anji and muskaan get her out of that bedroom or else i am calling ammy', muski chipped in,
'whattt', ridhima flinched up in whammy, not wanting to interfere and muddle her husband's trip,
anji smiled, 'so now i am sure ye wouldn't wanna disturb yer man, this LUMS deal is quite an important thing ye know', she folded her hands, certain that she will get out of the bed this time for sure,
'tch......okay', she made a face, tousling her hair to one side, rubbing her eyes, sickly, 'but where are we going', she buzzed softly,
'well since you are sick we are only gonna go to the gardens...so just get inside that bathroom, out of my sight for at least 30 minutes...while we clean up this room', anji stood up and went towards the window,
'aaggh....all my friends are bossy', ridhima carped, moving towards the bathroom, leaving a chuckling muskaan on the bed, pitying her poor friend's state...
----
He smirked, calling to mind those fazed expressions of the Lums' chairman, he knew that the bigwig was extremely impressed by his capabilities, his achievements, daa here..i've chipped Lums in yer pocket too, he thought, His conferral at the meeting went great and he had finalized the pact with them, he glanced at his phone, pleased with his success, proud with it, wanting to share the news with her, his heart thanking her for the calmness, the certainty, she awakened inside him, he pursed his lips, his heart pining to hug her, nestle her, tell her all about the meeting, ask her if she's feeling better now, the care, the worry scurrying back, but that stinginess, those irking questions towered inside him too, dazing him, making him think over this ardor, this warmth, this itch for her,
His mind flashed back to her beautiful, elegant sight, her sweet, friendly nature that enchants him, that amazes him, that has made a big hit with his heart, man, he gnashed his teeth, gaping at the briny deep water, the very blue sheet, that soothes every one's senses was making waves in his brain, nettling him, the decision he took before getting married to her conjured up in his mind,
ammy ye promised yerself that ye would keep safe distance from her then why do you end up comin close man, why have ye started carin for her, why do you hanker for em hugs, those kisses, he ran a hand through his hair, feeling unusual, feeling weird with this amour inciting in him, why the hell do i run out of breaths when i'm close to her, the frustration boiled his cruor, riling him, he clutched the steering wheel tightly, composing himself,
his mind found faults in this fondness, blaming her for his feelings, blaming the time that they spent together, that walk where it all started, if only i hadn't agreed to her stupid innocent plea,
sometimes she just recks ma head, its all coz of her that i haven't even started goin out with any birds, what do i do, i have to do something, I even tried ignoring her, but i couldn't, she is my friend, a sweetheart, he rebutted, as if in an argument with his mind, 'ye goin off the tangent, dont let her come near you', his mind dictated,
i cant do that, she needs ta be taken care off, she'll get homesick otherwise, his heart relented her state of mind, 'I DONT CARE, man', his mind squalled against the ailed and worried noises of his heart, out flanking them out of its frame, but i dont like ignorin her, she is a dear one, his heart confessed, armaan raised his eyebrows, catching the heartening drifts in his heart that pepped up an ecstasy, an inclination, he felt erotic, ardent, as if he didnt mind this zeal, this piety for her, aaa, he ran a hand through his hair, i have to get myself in a gal or else ill end up loosin myself here, he mumbled, but sensed the crudity at the thought, i don't care, he flaked out of his Audi, slamming the vehicle door in anger behind him, heading towards the club where the celebration was held...
------
'um...gals...i think i should talk to rahul', muskaan said, wanting to vocalize her thoughts, ridhima and anji looked up from their shakes, the three of them sitting leisurely on the patch in Boston gardens, 'i can see that he is making an effort to give me time....but he is sure about his feelings too...which is making him desperate for my answer...em', she continued, not sure if talking to him, going upto him would be the right thing to do,
ridhima smiled, 'go for it muski...i dont know him better than you guys do but i can say one thing...that when it comes to his friends, his loved ones, he cares about them like crazy', she kept a hand on a fluctant muskaan's shoulder,
'i think ridz is right sweety...there is no harm in going upto talk to him', anji muttered, nodding in reassurance, 'ridzi...ye feeling better now' she asked, changing the topic, she was sick of
discussing rahul and her again and again, they should just solve this mess and move on, she sighed,
'yes....yes i'm better now', ridhima answered, shaking her head at the sweet attention the two were showing her...
---
'heeey katie...it's been ages man...how we doin', He hugged her, trying to brush his thoughts away, to get rid of those amorous, lovesome feelings, he was missing ridhima and this very thought miffed him, agreed she's a great friend, buh why am i missing her,
'ammmy...man...i am good...i havent talked to you from the past five years', she chattered, eyeing his spruce, handsome looks,
'yeaaa...and look at ye....babes ye have become much...much..much more hotter than ye were before', he grinned, his mind bobbing in victory, planning events for the night, his heart mumbling a 'no', shedding light on her face, those gorgeous green blinders of ridhima, that utterly sexy figure that takes his breath away, his smile faded away,
'awh well i hate to praise maself', she lessened the distance between them, chummily,
he grinned, the gal wanted me five years ago too, he kept a hand around her waist, 'ill praise ya', he dallied, wanting to rub ridhima's beauty off his mind, godd, his heart began unhinging with the lewdness, this didnt feel right anymore, this brought a sense of displeasure in him, he knitted his brows, creating a distance between him and katie, fuddling her, his heart stopped his mind, taking the primacy, maddening him, he clenched his teeth and stormed out of the club, wanting to get away from this disputed point...
-----
'arre....aagaya tu, deal kaisi hui', A dignified Billy uttered, cheery on seeing his son after two whole days, ananya smiled, caressing his hair lovingly, my son is on his feet now,
'good daa....ye wont believe that big cheese was damn impressed by me....the deal is finalized and they all have started working too...hopefully in these two weeks they'll start the marketing
bit as well', he smiled wearily, recieving a pat on his shoulders, exhausted from the flight, his eyes unconciously rubbernecking their gaze to catch a glimpse of her, his heart longing to see her, yearned to cosset her dainty, hot skin,
Ananya chuckled, getting vibes of his son's fervent, intense expressions, 'she's in the room armaan', she informed,
he nodded, his insides sissing, ma face is giving hints ta people now,
'pata nahi kiya hogaya hai....she still has the bug...poor girl...she is tired of sneezing every minute...dekh usse', she patted his cheek, he frowned, hearing about her cold, the concern arising once again, he went upstairs, his heart skipped beats with his every step,
She sneezed, daubing her tissue paper, uff, she moaned, tucking the white satin sheet in a platform corner, setting up the bed,
he entered the room, his lips letting out a smile, seeing that cute, pleasant sight before him after two days, that hushed his mind away into its slumberland and snoozed it off,
she stood up, straight, sensing the bolting of her door and turned around, her heart began cheeping in happiness on seeing him, standing before her after two whole days, her heart quickening its pace, she heaved,
'Hi', he mouthed politely, slashing his dimpled grin, 'armaaaaan', she peeped, skittering towards him in gaiety, she encircled her arms around his neck, giving him a bear hug, he smirked earnestly, fondling her rachis, his worries, his feelings, his emotions, all rallying in him, again...
