Once Upon a Midnight Part II - Page 69

Whatever said and done expecting Shub to cut off ties with her father who has made her childhood and most part of her life bearable is wrong

She may be angry upset with him for the frauds if it's proved in front of her. But cutting off ties not so sure

Nisha posted in different thread

Chinese Cheez

"What did you want me to do?" he hissed as he poured out wine in two glasses with his air pots shifting in his ear

"Nothing... I am sorry" I asked

"whats her name?" Parul mumbled

"Chill! Di! Its Brianna, she thinks its old fashioned so wants to go by Brie" he laughed

"well she is gorg" Parul was not happy

"thanks I will tell her"

"BIWI nahi hai tumhari" Parul was irritated

"Sorry if that offended u" he shrugged casually

"TWO freaking weeks ago? a month ago? Maine kaha tumse she is upset because the chance to have a baby is gone" Parul was tearful

"I did not break up with her. i would be married by now, she knows i didnt wantt o wait more than a month" he sounded frustrated

"Phir bhi sab tod diya"

"MAINE nahi toda, she took her ring off" his voice was rough

Parul softened a bit

"Dont give up Tapan"

"what do u want me to do? She told me straight up she didnt see a future in our life together" his voice broke up"

"You must have said somethinga wful"

"I told her her Daddy will never be my best friend, I lost Papa I lost my best friend, aint ever gettin him back" "I told her I wud be fine if I never saw Manik again"

Parul gasped

"i am sorry I dont mean to hurt you by my actions" his tone softened

"are u going to do it with her?"

"Sorry its the first date... she is a lawyer I doubt she is going to put out on first date"

Parul hated everything about this situation

"If she did would you?"

"excuse me?"

"Don't Tapan" she begged

"then what? Just practice serial monogamy? or celibacy?"

"mat karo pleeze"

"I cant believe I am getting conjugal advice from my sister"

"she is by herself"

"HOW do u know?"

"Umm.. I knowww" Parul lied

"for how much longer?"

"Uh"

"A month? two?"

"tapan... let me talk to her"

"You cant lie... if u tell her I am sorry, I will try to make it up to her, or her Dad, it will be a white lie"

"India kab aa rahe ho"

"Ive made 6 trips recently" he lied "So shaayad abhi nahi"

"Please cheese ke saath nahi"

He laughed hysterically

"Nice... but she is not stinky"

"Tapan..." Parul shipped for Shubhra

"Have u seen her recently

"Kyon bataoon tumhe?"

"Mat batao, Brie is here, I gotta go, she was taking a client call"

"tapan send her home or drop her off"

"Uh"

"

Tapan pleez"

"Ajeeb zabardasti ha"

He hung up

Brie was tall slender and had a gorg face, her dark brown hair had flecks of red all over

"At midnight I turn into a redhead" she giggled

He made Indian Chinese for dinner and they watched a Fast & Furious movie on the couch

SHE kissed him

He took that as a cue and kissed her back ardently

Reminded of how good the physical satisfaction was

He walked with her to the parking garage wand she dropped him back at the lobby

When he went up

The phone rang

It was Arya FTing

"Dont u have a thing called school?"

"No... I didnt go because I had annual check up" "Satohday hai

Bing.... the phone connected Shubhra

He turned red when he saw Shubhra's face

A high ponytail and the dangling solitaires, the glowing cinnamon skin... he stirred unwittingly

Brie had aroused him.. and seeing Shubhra was not good

"Hi!" Shubhra smiled casually

"hi!"

"I am getting a snack OK?" Arya yelled

"Its 1 AM you are up?" "Oh its Friday night"

"Umm.. I"

shubhra looked at her desk, she realized he was goingt o say "I had a date"

"How are you?" he growled

"Great" she was looking at her spreadsheet and not really at the FT window

"How was ur date?" Shubhra asked meeting him eye to eye

"It was" (not a date) he wanted to lie

"Its fine.. its not like we are married" she said casually

"Why are u not dating?"

"I should" she said quietly

Then turned towards the FT monitor and smiled "You should set me up" she giggled disarmingly

Like it did not matter to her

"Why would I do that?" he was angry

She looked at him again

"I was kidding" she mumbled

"No Shubhra!" she said vengefully

"Umm"

"Umm.. sorry... wrong topic" he said wearily

"where is Arya?" she questioned

"I dont know" he said suddenly

"How was ur date?" she asked softly

"Did Parul tell u?"

"No... when u hesitated I suspected" she said indicating they had great unspoken vibes

"fine"

"Did u cook?" she smiled fondly

"Indian Chinese"

"Drool" she gasped

"I wud bring leftovers... but its 12k miles"

"Did u pack for her .. (u did when I came to ur sister's in NOIDA?) she gave him his most gorgeous smile

"No I did not" he smiled back

"Who knows she prolly didnt care for it much"

"Kuch kaha?" Shubhra was concerned

"Tumhe bura laga?" "that she probably hated my Desi Chinese?" he chuckled detecting her sorrowful expression

"Umm.. no... I mean... U know... Tapan.. I thought" Shubhra didnt have a straight answer

@coderlady - can you please be watchful of commenting on older threads so Nisha can have the current thread always on the top? Thanks 🙏

I did not like tapan with some other girl😭.My heart felt heavy reading that part💔

Great! I am literally Parul right now. I feel bad for Shubhra... Tapan is doing what he wants to... Shubhra as well... I don’t know what to say... I want them to be together but they need to accept each other’s plight and work out. Urgh!!!!!

I too didn’t like Tapan attitude

Tapan did not take long to move on. He even kissed the girl back. It made Shubhra sad, but thats the way they are right now. No commitment between them.

I have been reading Software Symphonies. Love the story. So this the plan. Every night before I wind up, make a comment on this story to pull it up.

Maybe it will take another woman to make Tapan realize what he really wants. If he loves Shubhra, he will find it hard to move on with someone else. A date is one thing, but can he really move on and be happy?

The only way for him to feel frustrated is to realize that she might not be affected too much. I'm so glad that she visibly did not react much. He has guilt.

Every instance he comes up oh she took off the ring I did not break it! Taking off the ring is just a act .... breaking off has to do lot more than just removing it off her finger ! Prompting her to see no road ahead is equally his half responsiblity.

I can't stop wondering for a moment had parul not checked him, would he have gone ahead? It's not a question of celibacy ... it's more a matter of his conscience .

Had Nitin behaved like this, we would have roasted him here for his flippancy and hypocrisy . Tapan better shut his mouth before he thinks of dismissing Nitin next time on matters like physical pleasure .
