Avantika leaned against the wall opposite to the shower with a hand placed on her racing heart. As she recalled what transpired between her and Siddharth just a few while before she blushed a darker shade of crimson and her heartbeats raised even more to such an extent that she was quite sure that others would be able to hear her heartbeats.
A shy smile crept onto her lips as she glanced at herself on the fullsize mirror across the washroom. An intense feeling of rapture coursed through her whole being as walking down the memory lane she had realized how she had seen no remorse or regret in his eyes for the moment transpired between them and how he had even teased her after that. She knew that Manju was right. All she had to do to take him out of his shell and shatter the walls that he had erected around him and isolated himself from the world around him was to offer her unconditional love and understanding to him.
His one gesture had fortified her belief in herself and also bolstered her confidence level. Avantika touched her sore, swollen and even more reddish lips and instantly color rose to her cheeks.
Siddharth, on the other hand, was befuddled at his own reckless behaviour. He himself couldn't justify or rather elucidate exactly why on earth did always his control snapped when vantika was around. How could he be always so free and act without giving it a single thought when it would come to her? Even he could feel the walls he had erected around his heart crumbling down with her mere presence.
Siddharth (ST) : " Yeh aakhir kya ho raha mujhe? Jab bhi main Avantika ke paas hota hu meri saari self control jaise waqt dekhkar ghaas charne chali jaati hain. I behave so freely with her nowadays. Sabse bari baat I was actually making out with her and hell I don't even feel a single tiny bit of regret. Ek ajib si kashish hain jo mujhe kheechti hain uski aur. Aisi kashish, aisa kheechao toh maine pehle kabhie kisi aur larki ki taraf mehsoos nehi kiya. Yahan tak Shagun ke liye bhi nehi. Gehre nashe ki halat mein bhi maine kabhie apna aapa nehi khoya. Par aaj, aaj main khudko rok hi nehi saka. Why did it feel so right? Why am I always dominated with this weird sense of having complete right over her? Sirf kya isliye kyunki wo meri patni hain? Aaj se pehle I never went this close to any girl, not even Shagun. Ek hichkichahat thi jaise. Par aaj wo hichkichahat nehi hain. Kyun? Kyun aisa lagta hain mujhe ki usko choone ka haq sirf mujhe hain aur mere upar adhikar sirf uske hain? Oh God! Please mujhe mere sawalo ka jawab dilaye warna toh main isi uljhan mein kahin paagal na ho jau."
However his thoughts were interrupted by the click of the lock on the washroom door as it grappled his attention and he whirled around only to come face to face with his drop dead gorgeous wife whose beauty had been accentuated even more due to her dripping wet form. Her saree had become quite transparent and was sticking to her like a second skin and her hair was dripping. In a nut shell it was an alluring sight that was arousing some hitherto unknown yet very strong desires in him. He wondered how he never felt aroused even when girls had literally thrown themselves on him and had always managed to evade them. But here the mere presence and sight of this particular girl was arousing unknown desires in him. He blinked his eyes to clear his shrouded mind n focus on the reality. Avantika,on the other hand, was becoming shy and nervous as he didnt seem to be ready to free her from his captivating intense gaze. She thought it to be better to make n attempt to bring him out of his trance or else she would just die out of shyness under his strong intense gaze full of admiration.
Avantika stuttered as she found it completely implausible to form a coherent sentence when he was gawking at her like that :"wo...wo...um...mujhe...matlab mere kapre...closet..."
She stopped immediately seeing a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
Siddharth was brought out of his trance as he heard her stammering and realized her shyness and nervousness. He realied that she had noticed him gawking at her and hence she was so shy as well as nervous. He was amused to see her stuttering and fidgeting. Immediately his eyes glittered with a mischievous spark, very much like the Siddharth he was in the past and very unlike the guy he had become at present. With the smirk still intact on his lips and eyes still sparkling with the mischievous glint, he advanced forward towards her with slow deliberate steps while she began to retreat step by step.
Avantika fumbled yet again :"ji woh..."
Siddharth :"haan main sun raha hu."
He was taking one step forward while she was taking one step back.
Siddharth : " Mujhe na tumse kuch kehna tha."
Avantika : "ji?"
Siddharth : " ji. Kahu?"
Avantika : "K…Kahiye."
Siddharth : "Wo na…"
Avantika repeated : " wo…"
Siddharth : "Mujhe na…"
Avantika repeated again : "Aapko kya?"
By now they both had reached the wall behind Avantika and her back collided with the hard surface of the wall. Now there was no room for her to back up even an inch while Siddharth inched even closer and caged her by keeping both his strong arms around her by resting both of them on the wall on her both sides.
Siddharth continued looking intensely into her eyes : "Wo na…. mujhe….. mere kapre chahiye the….change karna hain na….isliye."
Avantika blinked her eyes as she tried to register what he just said while burst out into peels of laughter seeing her befuddled and flummoxed state.
Soon enough she grasped the situation and realized that he had played a prank on her. Her mouth dropped open and as she watched him still engrossed in hearty laughter, she narrowed her eyes and sliding form her original position, strode off to the bed. She picked up a pillow and within moments attacked him.
Siddharth, who was totally not ready and hadnt seen it coming was flabbergasted at first. However soon he recovered from the initial shock and shielded himself with his arms to escape the blows of the pillow.
Siddharth squealed as he ducked from her blows as Avantika was aiming at him with pillows : "Arey Avantika kya kar rahi ho? Okay sorry baba. Plz plz really sorry."
Avantika threw yet another pillow towards him while retorting : "Accha mera majaak ura rahe the na. Ab kya hua? Fir se urayenge mera majaak. Chorungi nehi main aapko."
Siddharth : "Accha baba promise nehi karunga aise. Plz plz."
Avantika giggled as she threw another pillow and that one hit him right on the head as she had by now reached nearer to him. Siddharth pouted as he messagd his forehead where the pillow hit him.
Siddharth : "Ab tumhari khair nehi Avantika."
Saying this he caught hold of her arms and jerked her towards him and consequently both lost their balances and fall on the bed.
As they looked into each other's eyes they both lost themselves.
Oblivious to the fact that someone had seen them and the eyes of that person became moist seeing the glimpses of the earlier self of Siddharth and now that person was quite sure that Siddharth would surely return to his earlier self forever and that too soon.
