"It was a sin," she mumbled in between frantic sobs. His eyebrows knitted in anger," Fine if you term it as a sin, then I will never touch you again," He said as anger threatened to spill from his tone and he marched away, leaving her crying.

Saras was furious, how could Kumud consider their lovemaking as a sin. True, they were not married yet, but they were engaged and they had both been willing for it. He remembered, he had huskily whispered if she wanted to stop in between but she denied. Then, how could Kumud shift the entire blame on him. He shoved a chair in the corner of his room.

"Kumud, you have to collect your engagement dress today," Said Kusum as she barged into Kumud's room. Kumud simply nodded, she had stopped crying but her face still displayed signs of regret and guilt.

Kusum saw something amiss and she quizzed Kumud about it," Did something happen?"

Kumud gulped but she gave a smile," N..no, I'm a bit tired owing to the preparations for Sejal's wedding,"

"Alright then, take rest," Kusum concluded, she doubted that something happened. Both Saras and Kumud had gone missing during the wedding ceremony.

"It's nearly dusk and you want to go alone?" VidyaChatur said in a worried tone. Kumud needed to pick her engagement dress and at the same time if there were any adjustments to be made, it would get done. Kumud sighed, "It's alright, it's not that far from here and I'll take Kumari with me,"

"Sorry didi, Mom has given me work to do," Kumari said cheekily Kumud shot Kumari a death glare. At the same time, Saras crossed the threshold of the house, he was feeling suffocated in the house and he needed to go and breathe some fresh air.

"Saras, where are you going?" VidyaChatur asked.

"Just needed some fresh air," Saras replied while avoiding Kumud's gaze on him. A light bulb lit up. VidyaChatur beamed," Kumud, your problem is solved, Saras will accompany you to your destination,"

Kumud and Saras's gaze locked momentarily. This was going to be a 'good' night.

The car ride was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Saras was pissed off. He wanted some time alone and here...On the other hand, Kumud felt a strange sense of anxiety, perhaps it was because she was in a car with the person to whom she had given her heart as well as her body. She had to break the ice...

"Saras, I know that I was not right in condemning what happened the previous night as a sin but I cannot overlook the limits that have been set and it is not just about the limits," she took a pause," It concerns breaking my parent's trust and the freedom they have given me till date. I am not concerned about society, don't I have the right to be concerned about my parents?"

Saras calmed down and reducd the grip he had on the steering wheel. She was partially right.

"Uh..." he began and then sighed," Well, I know that and I was angry since I assumed that your hysterical behavior was owing to the fact that you pretty much regretted what happened and you considered it as a sin...instead of a beautiful moment to cherish," he concluded as the anger diluted completely and his lips curved to form a smile. Kumud smiled back at him. At the same time, rain started poring heavily, blurring the view outside.

However, as Saras was engrossed in the conversation, he did not notice a truck on the opposite side and he abruptly swerved to the pathway to avoid an accident, colliding his car with a tree in the process.

Thankfully, both of them escaped the collision with minor injuries. Saras had gotten scratched on his arms while Kumud had banged her forehead against the door. Saras quickly exited the car and rushed to help Kumud. He opened her side of the car door.

"Kumud,are you okay? Get out of the car carefully." He tried to veil panic. Kumud kept her hand on her throbbing head. Saras lifted her in his arms. He looked around him to see if there was any shelter...from a distance, he could see a small cottage. He quickly rushed there with Kumud but as they headed there, they were drenched by the heavy rains. Kumud's ghagra was stuck onto her as a second layer of skin. Her curves were conspicuous and Saras gulped when he carefully dropped her into onto a pile of hay in the cottage.

She was opened her eyes as she felt Saras's cold fingers graze her cheek. She stared into his eyes and she saw concern in his eyes. Their eyes locked for a fraction of a minute and that conveyed their unspoken feelings. Saras got up and he tried to contact someone but there was no network owing to the heavy rains.

Kumud realised that her clothes were completely drenched ...in fact, the shape of her body was clearly outlined by her wet clothes which was clinging onto her skin. Saras turned to face Kumud and he got lost into her. Her hair was messy and he let out a low groan...barely audible. Kumud looked at him and she lowered her gaze as she could not bear the passionate gaze of Saras.

Saras walked towards her and kneeled down. Kumud kept her face on the other side when she saw Saras removing his shirt. He placed his shirt onto her shoulders while he was left shirtless and Kumud saw his upper body devoid of clothing which sent a wave of passion through her.

Saras sat down opposite Kumud, comforting her that everything would get settled.

"Kumud, about last night, so.." Saras began and Kumud shivered," What about it?"

"We didn't get a chance to talk about it" he said and smirked. Kumud swiftly got up,"There is nothing to talk about," she said, trying to mirror her anxiety. Saras stood and walked towards her," Really?" he said, teasing her. Kumud tried to control her erratic heartbeats as she stuttered,"Y..yeah,"

He grabbed her arms and brought her body close to him that there was no distance left between them. Kumud was shocked at his reactions about but before she had time to react...he slammed his lips against hers. She felt hot as she felt his hands untying the thread of her blouse. She tried to protest but he overpowered her.

He pushed her against the wall while removing the shirt off her leaving her in wet clothes. She suddenly felt that this was right. Saras softened when she responded and he stared into her eyes while sucking onto her lips. Kumud blinked showing her approval and there was no stopping. Saras slid down her blouse and he stared at her nude upper body. Kumud placed her hands across her chest but he pinned her hands on the wall and stared at her body. She blushed furiously and Saras soon lunged at her chest and showered his love on her. Kumud felt as if her skin was on fire when he touched her..it made her relive the passion from the previous night. They both were drowned in the intensity of the moment and Saras again reached her lips and kissed her passionately. He got her to lie down and placed wet kisses on her neck as well as on her chest. She shivered when she felt his cold fingers sliding on her bare waist. She placed her hands on either sides of Saras's face and got him to face her.

" I love you," she said breathlessly as he kissed her again, and their tongues battled for dominance. Kumud wrapped her hands over his torso and soon, they both were devoid of clothing and Saras sealed their bond with a rough thrust. Kumud moaned and Saras was there to comfort her and hopefully reduce the pain by feathering kisses all over her body and roaming his hands all over her. The passion took a notch higher as the minutes flew by and fireworks exploded, it was a night when passion took over...
