Shilpaa...Shilpa wait..listen to me...
She wore the jacket and zipped it up..aiming to open the door.He threw the sheets and jumped out of the bed wearing his shorts.
A- wait..you have to hear me out...
His strong hold stopped her and she was standing with her arms crossed across her chest..her eyes looked tired and so was he.Both of them had hectic schedule and back to back meetings for which they could barely manage any time to sleep.They were on Dubai for this conference.Fram last 3 years they have been working together professionally and personally.Both are in love but it was Armaan's family who showed disinterest to accept Shilpa as part of their family since she was a South India and Malliks were hardcore Punjabi.
For years they have been maintaining same level of patience and believed one day things would fall in place.Only if this would have been the case.Being a guy Armaan's age was nothing when it comes to marriage or stepping into a new phase of life but for Shilpa it mattered alot.When you live in a society where girls are above 30 and unmarried people have no choice but to hear the unbearable taunts and gosspis around you.
Back to these two... when it comes to love and the longing they have been feeling for each other who cares if you are sleep derived or not.Everything was going right till last night he created this blunder.The culprit was his best friend come business partner Sid who made him drink that also when he should not have.
S- what?are you going to stare at my face only.Say something.or else I..
A-no.wait
I..I..Iam sorry..
S-for what??
A-shilpa..for last night..I mean whatever I did..and..i should not have..I was not in my senses and..
S-done?I guess I can leave now..
A-STOP!
He held her arm strongly and pinned her up against the door giving her a nerve wrecking shock.She felt his grip which was so tight and never did she came across the look he had on his eyes and the strength he was using with her.
She hissed in pain and he softened a bit.He came closer to her till she could feel his hot breathe on her face.She turned her face on other side and now her neck could feel the heat from his mouth.
S-what do you want me to hear.Haa.You said enough.Please leave me.
He could feel her voice cracking and knew the reason.He was such a fool.never knew how to talk sense and always end up doing blunders.
A-Iam sorry..
S-you shouldn't be.after all you did a big mistake.no a SIN.Go wash yourself before your body gets rotten or get punished by god for this sin.
A-SHILPA!
How can she say like that.He never imagined to hear such words from her mouth.He can understand he was wrong but she cannot say such a big thing knowing how much he loves and respects her.
A-you think having you in my arms ..loving you..spending every minute making every moment ours..was a SIN for me?How can you.
S-you only said that.I didn't.Now leave me I'm getting late.
A-I wont till you hear me out.Did you get me?
S-leave me ARMAAN.we have a flight to catch.
A-what did you just say??Armaan??
S-I need to go.and you also.we have a flight and all must be..
A-they can leave.we will take the next flight and Iam not leaving until we sort this out.
S-We can never sort this out.so let it be.Don't be stubborn go get ready and your PA will be here any moment I should better leave.
Ahh..
He caught her from her waist and smacked his lips on hers.It took her a moment to realize what they were doing.yes kissing and he was using all his force in doing that.She used her tiny hands to smack him or stop his effort but he was strong enough.He kissed the hell out of her getting her lips swollen and when she moaned feeling blood on her lips he left her.
She panted and touched her lower lip feeling a small cut and stared at the man standing in front of her in shorts.He was also panting and closing his eyes he runs his hand through his messy hair regretting how he acted like a moron.
She felt bad for accusing him like that.What he said was it justifiable?NO.Their relationship was already in a bumpy road and he makes things worse everytime not ready to accept any situation.Something similar happened previous day.When they boarded the flight they were all okay till they reached hotel.They got rooms next to each other so that he can sneak into hers when its necessary without taking anyones notice.
Last day :
It was after they were escorted to their rooms and caught some sleep for an hour or so,he felt a knock on his door and it was her.She found him in half sleepy state and luckily he was in senses to open the door.They have to attend this conference in an hour and mister was busy snoring in shorts and T.He can never stop being lazy.She had to think or remind him always about his whereabouts.Even for attending certain events and checking his wardrobe which she was supposed to do now.She took out his clothes and propped them on the bed running her soft hands on his hair.He stirred in his sleep and caught her hand pulling her on the bed.He kept his head on her lap poking his long nose in her tummy as she felt ticklish.
S-Loser..wake up.you have to get ready..itney alsi kyun ho tum..
A-mmmhh..you can't call me that everytime..utna bhi lazy nahi hu..bass iam awesome with some natural stuff..you see..
S-yeah yeah on your dreams..come on.I also have to get ready no and its going to take me more time with saree...was it really necessary to get me a saree for this event?I mean okay I could have also presented in front of those clients in indian wear..suit and all..but you aghh..
..okayy Iam leaving now.go get some coffee then take shower and..
She felt him pulling her into him making her fall on his chest.She was taken a back for a moment till he hugged her.She could feel his lips on her ear and then travelling to her cheeks which were red now.
A-mhh you smell so nice.fresh.
S-and you smell so gross.
A-what..
S-yes mister.I took shower and what about you.haven't brushed for ages no?
He wrestled with her hands and taking a chance pinned her under him fixing her both hands abover her head.She was nervous with the way his eyes were boring into hers they had deep passion.She could hardly breathe as he got his face closer to hers.He rubbed his stuble with her soft cheeks pricking her as she flinched.He loves doing that and since the time he kept heavy beard he had been doing that to her.Rubbing her nose with his he was about to join their lips when her phone buzzed.
A-aghh.who is it.
She laughed at his reaction and extended her hands to get hold of her phone which was lost in the king size bed.He tried every attempt to stop her from receiving the call be it nuzzling her neck kissing her cheeks or tickling her.Now they were in such a position that she had her phone on her ear with the support of her one hand while other hand was under his clutches.He was busy teasing her to no ends and cursing the person on the other side of call.
S-Ssiddd...haa.tell me..kya huaa??
A-his dog gave birth to puppies.yeh saala khud to ek bachchen ka baap hai..per pata nahi mera peecha kab chorega..
jab dekho chipka rehta hai tumse.Nidhi se complain karni paregi..case thok degi direct..
She shushed him as he was busy whispering with that cute frown on his face.He played with her hair and blew kisses to her while she was showing him eyes.
S-ahh..no no you say na.oh okay okay yeah.we have an hour or so Sid and remember we are staying here for a night only.No how can I shop.if we only get time..you tell Nidhi to send me the list lets see if I can manage..
A-tell her we wont get anything for her even if we shop around.She has this buffalo size husband he is enough to get her things..no need to trouble my girl..
Finally she ended the call and he now laid flat on the bed.She cuddle up to him resting her head on his broad chest.He closed his eyes feeling the warmth and caressed her hair leaving a kiss or two.
A-what happened.why mood so off.that fevicol said something??
S-pleasee always cant joke na.
A-okay okay easy ma.tell me.what happened.you looked happy before.
S-hmm...Mom called Sid..(Sid was also a close and only good friend of Shilpa)
A-hmm..why.she lost your number?
S-ahh armaan.listen na.
He continued patting her head as she snuggled closer to him.
S-there is this guy some owner of some multinational company in US and.and Mom wants me to meet him.
A-hm.so she should have called you directly na.why throught that rat case.
S-aghh.you can never be serious..
A-what??fine.why does she want you to meet him..?
S-bhondu raam..taakey main shaadi karlu ussey aur bachchen paida karlu uske liye..whats wrong with your brain..huh top business tycoon..
He nodded his head and as the realization dawned upon him he got up in a sitting position.
A-your mom has gone mad.wait let me set this straight...I will ask Sid to..
S-to convince her or what?.how long can she wait armaan.she is my mother.
A-and that rat case Sidhiant Modi is my friend.He will do anything for me.. you dont worry.I will handle this MNC guy.
S-no.
A-what??
S-do you want me to get married at 40s..or you think my family wants that?tell me.
He knew what was coming next.So taking a deep long breathe he took her hands in his and continued.
A-I told you give me some time we will set things right okay.
S-how long??6 saal hogaye we know each other armaan...and now.even my family is waiting for my answer.Last two years I refused hundreds of proposals and everytime making some excuse or other.what excuse should I give now??you think they are fool?
She looked disturbed.Taking time out she got up from the bed and stood on other side of him.
S-I am ready to wait for you for my whole life.but.I can't hurt my family.They won't force me for marriage and I can't marry anyone else.
A-then what do you want me to do?you think Iam playing with you??or cheating on you
He and his temper issues which he only shows to her.Not that he gets loud enough but.when his irritation or frustration levesl reach the peak.He runs his hand through hair and she looks at him with a dejected face.
A-I think we already discussed this enough.We should concentrate on whatever is going around now and dont worry I will handle your mother and this matter provided you are not interested to meet that fuc**** MNC fellow..
She was baffled at his words and at the taunt he just gave her.He thinks she is dying to get married and meet that guy.Enough of nonsense.If he can get frustrated have issues then so can she.
S-let it be..
She wore her slippers and fixing her clothes made an exit from his room..banging the door making it loud enough to reach his ears.
A-I should die.a peaceful death.
He dialed a number and then cursed that person also who was busy on some other call at that moment..
A-rat case...zaroor biwi ki gaali sun raha hoga..ab call karo??nahi..timing hee kharab hai..
Flashback ended : Back to present day.Last day after this fight they went for conference and he knew it from her face she was not going to forget this easily as she chose to stand beside Side while receiving the foreign delegates and whole time interacted with them not paying attention or sparing a glance to him. It was at end when he somehow managed to convince Sid when they were clicking pictures with the team and then he won the game while she stood totally trapped in the situation as facing the camera it would have looked odd if she refused to be with him.So when his hand travelled and landed in her shoulder from back she could do nothing but smile.He had his ways and she knew that well.
They were to attend another event at night which was organized by company they were interested to merge on with and there also they did so happily posing for camera and exchanging smiles and words with everyone.All ended well and at late night he was seen accompanied by his best friend come Sid when they settled on his room pouring their hearts out.The session ended on such a state that they were horribly drunk and Sid passed out while Mr Mallik was for a change still in his senses.God knows why he took that decision of making his way towards her room on that hour.
