Part 13
by then vicky & rahul came up ' mk chodna yaar
his grip only got harder on her arm. She didn't flinch just stood their numb not bothering to look at him. He shook her wildly while his frds struggled to loosen his hold & took him away.
Next day he came down around noon again with a hangover. His lemon juice was rt there. He just gulped it down looking for something to eat. He looked into the fridge.. he found few chicken pieces remaining. He heated it up in microwave & sat on the couch surfing the news channels. His mind pondered over last nights incidents.. teasing her with chicken.. he was awed with her determination. ..ladkiyen bhi figure maintain karne ke leyien kya kya karthi hain he wondered.
Aur issen figure pe tho.. bakra fasta hain.. he smirked at his own joke
her words mano tho sab kuch hain.. na mano tho kuch bhi nahi
her words played in his mind stopping his fingers on the chicken.
He then was reminded of his question to her .. how ever tipsy he was he was not to walk into pari's room like that. He ran his fingers on the forehead regretting.
Rest of week was usual except by the end of the week the kitchen had a smell of burned foods residue, while laundry had the scent of the Tide detergent & the washroom felt damp. He left the bathroom windows open to get some air circulation. This change was very slow & gradual but didn't go unnoticed by his senses, leaving him restless.
It was their usual weekend gathering. Another drinking glass shattered on the wooden floor. But who cared ! Everyone was drunk. Vicky with his girl Ria.. Rahul with Niti.. Mk with Sam.. Pari ..Azaan & Jane.
His eyes kept looking at paris room door, he had checked his watch atleast 20 times in past 1hr. By now she should have come down for her dinner unless she took it early. But then he was here the whole evening he wondered.
For his luck Niti just asked ' Geet kanha hain dihk nahi rahi
Pari sipped her drink ' she got another place, waisen bhi mk had given her ultimatum
all the alchol he had consumed since evening suddenly felt like water. He was shaken from his ropts. She left.. aisen hi
he thought he said it in his mind but well everyone heard it
sam ' I guess she got scared of ur behavior that night
u should drink less u know, she said taking the glass away from him & keeping it on the table.
No wonder things seemed different he concluded leaving abruptly to his room.
***********
It had been a year since last summer, since she left aisen hi his place. He had been restless ever since. He thought he would conveniently forget all abt her but seems he landed up learning more abt her. Some how during their weekend parties fav topic had become Geet!! with Paris inputs they knew she was doing her PHD in so so college. It was only her temporary accommodation for summer, then she was back in the hostel for her term period. She hardly came off campus during term, since she worked in the college itself & lived in the hostel. Interestingly she still kept in touch with Pari.
***********
Cleaned shaved crisp white shirt.. rough pair of jeans.. glasses to hide those swollen eyes, he checked himself again in the rare view mirror before stepping out of his car that has been parked beside her apt building for last 30mins. He had some how managed to get her address from Pari last night. Finally after 30 long mins he just walked into her kitchen area of her studio appt using the back door, where she was making her salad. Issme namak aur dressing bhi dal do he said standing rt behind her.
She instantly dropped the bowl.. that he caught sliding his hand around her waist..
she turned instantly into his arms leaning backward screaming in panic. it was more out of instinct she screamed.. though she recognized his rough commanding voice instantly.
He softly placed a peck on her lips.
It was so obvious reaction to his longing senses. He didn't want to accept but beyond all his will he was here, almost a year still his senses seem to so well know that scent of hers. But that doesn't change the fact he hates her. He was here only to clear his doubts or thats wat he wanted to believe.
Her body trembled - starting with her heart, traveling through her limbs & vibrating her soul concealing her numb lips. Her eyes widened in shock. His breath close, quick & deep. She probably couldn't notice but his eyes were staring down at her with his MSK chup ek dum chup expression in depth holding unnamed emotions, that was new to both of them.
It was just an instant reaction.. he could have made her shut by covering her mouth with his hand well it was busy holding the salad bowl & thier lips were irresistibly close.
He felt a sharp pain on his cheek next moment with a drop of tear that escaped from the corner of her right eye. The sting of the slap was feeble to wat he felt seeing that pearl. She stepped away from him putting the much needed distance. The color of her face faded. Usually girl would react with a blush even if she was annoyed but her reaction was beyond his comprehension like always.
So much for saving this poor little salad he thought placing it safely on the counter.
Bas!! he demanded like time has faded since that night until now
she knew exactly wat he meant & this time she was not in a frame of mind to answer
Every inch of her was rebelling. She felt like she did a sin. She closed her eyes shutting herself from the world. She didn't care how it all looked or seemed to him. She just walked to door of her apt & held it open indicating him to leave at once.
