Meera woke up to the sounds of jubilant shouts of a child.
She realized that she was on the same bed again and remembered she did not walk back here.
This only meant one thing.
She recalled how Prithvi reached in time to save her from the fall and how nice it felt to be in his arms.
She remembered the glass piece and instantly her hands searched for it,instead she saw a cloth neatly tied to her foot.
Then she remembered that Prithvi had indeed removed it when she was clinging on to him like he was George clooney.
A reluctant smile escaped through her lips.She figured out she must have dozed off in his arms and he must have fixed the wound.
The memory of his wide hands around her brought tingling feeling and gave her goosebumps.
She had never felt so much comfortable in any person's physical proximity or more specifically in man's proximity.
The thought made her blush and for the first time made her aware of her femininity.
Precisely remembering his masculine scent wasn't helping in shifting focus to serious life threatening matters.
Confused at her sudden change of thought process,she started looking here and there.
Near her feet where two packets neatly placed, since they were kept deliberately on the beds, she deduced it was for her.
She reached for one of then and opened it.
To her surprise she found a pair of very simple and plain looking sandals which were totally out of her league but made her smile.
Now very curious to see the contents of the second packet,she opened it also.
The contents were even more surprising and broadened her smile.
The packet contained a red colored salwaar kameez with bright flowers on the dupatta.
Her eyes widened with the pleasant surprise when she realized that he had gone out to get stuff for her.
She quickly took out the sandals and stepped into it.She found that again on the stool next to her was a plate covered with another plate.
She instantly knew it was her lunch.She picked the top late and burst out laughing.
Meera(Again)
Her lunch again was freshly prepared Khichdi and this time she ate with satisfaction and appreciation.
After drinking water and wearing new sandals , she decided to go out to find the source that awakened her.The sounds hadn't completly silenced but definitely diminished.
She carefully trotted through the bedroom and lounge. This time with a bit more ease because when she reached the main door,she wasn't exhausted as she was in her previous attempt.
The sun was shining bright when she emerged from the door and cool breeze was blowing.
She remembered the glass pieces and looked for them but again to her surprise the floor was cleaned and was devoid of any thing harmful.
She still was standing by supporting herself against the door.She saw the vast farms , big large trees and was mesmerized and lost in the nature that was so pure and refreshing.
Again the kid's voice shook her from her current state and she realized the voice was coming from behind the cottage.
She started walking towards the voice by taking every step very carefully and not very much to her surprise she saw a 7-8 year old kid playing marbles with ..
hold it ..
with Prithvi and they were so much engrossed in the play that neither of them realized her presence.
Meera(sigh... Boys will be boys ..)
Prithvi :Get ready jeevan Lal, I am gonna take the last marble also.
JL(grim faced):That's never gonna happen.
Prithvi: you said the same for the rest of them also.
JL:but this time it is true.
Prithvi: we will see.
Prithvi was holding a marble in his right hand and he raised his hand to aim at one of the four marbles lying on the ground.
Prithvi: second one from the last , right?
A even more grim faced JL responded
JL:yes, how many times shall i tell you.
Prtihvi grinning even more
Prithvi:I was just confirming.
With a very naughty smile on his face , Prithvi closed his left eye and targeted the said marble.
He finally threw the marble which hit the targeted marble and Prithvi gave the wickedest smile to JL.
Prithvi:I told you.
JL was now brimming with anger on loosing again.
Meera who was watching all this with due concentration decided it was time to intervene.
Meera with a mock smile: Seriously , winning from a kid gives you a high.
The two men were more than surprised to hear a girl's voice disturbing them.
Meera was still in Prithvi's Kurta and dhoti wrapped around her waist.
The kurta was really big for her and was exposing to much for prithvi to maintain his composer.
He could clearly see her long swan like neck pleading for immediate attention.
joining her face and rest of that elegant body.
Only two kurta buttons were done and made Prithvi's heart skip the very much required beat.
Fianlly struggling to focus ,Prthivi said
Prithvi: Hey, I won fair and square.
Meera involuntarily raised an eye brow.
Meera: with a kid whose one fourth of your age??
Prithvi(snapped baxk):I am not 32 and besides everything is fair in love and war.
Meera rolled her eyes and Prithvi couldnt do anything but get lost again.
JL: Prithvi , who is she?
Meera:Hello Jeevan Laol , I am Meera
JL(surprised):How do you know my name?
Meera:I also know your age.
Meera extended her hand and JL was more than happy to grab it.
JL:Can I call you didi.
Meera kissed JL on both cheeks and said Yes.
Meera:So, you lost all your marbles to the big guy.
Prithvi cocked his eyebrows.
JL:yes didi, he always wins and takes away all of them.
JL admitted making the cutest puppy face ever.
Meera: Do you have one extra marble in your big pockets.
JL very sheepishly:Yes didi, how do you know.
Meera winked at JL and looked towards prithvi who still was hanging somewhere in watching Meera's kisses and Meera's winks and Meera's innocently naughty smile .
Meera: so ...
Prtihvi(really had no idea what she was hinting): What??
Meera:Ok ,let me have a go , if I win you return all marbles to JL.
Prithiv lips curved into cunning smile
gave the lopsided smile and said
Prithvi:What if I win?
Meera after getting over that heart clutching smile
Meera:Besides the satisfaction of defeating your equal, my promise that I will not fight with you for the rest of the day.
Prithvi smirked and agreed.
Meera :first my turn.
Prtihv:As you wish.
Four marbles were laid on the ground and Meera helped with JL walked towards the aiming position.
She had a marble in one of her hands.
Meera:So, which one ?
Prithvi :Third one from the left.
Meera aimed and hit the target and made Jl jump with joy.
Jl:Wow, didi, you are awesome.
Prithvi(As if there was doubt)
At the same instant Meera jerked and looked at Prithvi and gave him a suspicious look.
Meera:Did you say something.
Prithvi(that wasn't loud..right):No
Meera:now it is your turn.
Prithvi took the marble in his hand and walked towards the aiming position.
prithvi:which one??
Meera:first one from the right.
Prithvi took his position, closed his left eye and aimed at the marble.
Just as he was trying to hit,Meera who was standing near to Prithvi leaned closer to him and blew bubbles of air on his neck.
The marble slipped from Prithvi's hand in the same way as the ropes of self restraint were fast slipping away from him.
His whole body seemed to be burning up in flames kindled by her warm bubbles.
Prithvi not only lost his aim but also the last shred of control of his senses and for the first time in his life had no idea how to react.
He gave the W*F look to Meera who was busy dancing with JL who was jumping with joy .
Both had no idea of Prithvi's back from dead journey.
Prithvi:What the hell was that.
Meera now laughing her heart out.
Meera:Hey every thing is fair in love and war.
Jl:Now give back all my marbles.
Meera also joined JL
JL kissed Meera and gave a bear hug to her.
Meera also responded with same enthusiasm while Prithvi looked on.
Prithvi handed reluctantly all the marbles to a over excited JL.
JL:Thanks Didi.
Meera:Where do you live?
JL:Just half a km from here.
Meera:Tell me who all are there in your family.
On getting reminded of his family, JL remembered that his mom had asked him to come back home early.
Jl got all panicky and said to Meera that he has to leave or else his Mom will never allow him to come and play here again.
Meera knew that was a fake warning given by all parents and she also played along and made a fake scared expression.
That fake expression took remaining air out of Prithvi's lungs.
JL said good byes to Meera and Prithvi and ran happily back to show his war wins to his mom.
Meera turned around to see a very different Prithvi, he was looking straight into her, eyes staring at her without blinking.
She felt his wide eyes capturing every essence of her existence.
She inadvertently surrendered herself into those captivating eyes.
He kept walking towards her with persistent assault of her senses and when the distance between them had lost its meaning, Prithvi with one swift action caught her waist and pulled her completely shadowing the sphere of her personal space.
Meera came crashing into him and her hands landed on his toned and muscular chest.
The sudden contact made her flinch with unknown desire,his dark eyes getting even more darker and ripened with raw passion that made her whole body tremble with unaccustomed heat.
Her untouched body reacted inescapably to his uninhibited intentions.
Oscillating between regretting her helpless floundering or sinfully enjoying the contact froze Meera's thought process.
Amidst this turbulence, Prithvi buried his free hand into her lush mane and drew her face upwards which resulted in breaking all the barriers, the space between them shrunk as if it never existed.
His warm breaths were fanning her cheeks and made Meera melt in his arms.
It seemed to her that she will be burned alive in the molten lava erupting from those hypnotizing eyes.
And the worst part was she didn't even regret it.
Butterflies started fluttering wild in her stomach and all her pleas to remain conscious by her numb brain were being ruthlessly squashed by her racing heart that just wanted to drown in the pool of newly discovered bliss.
Prithvi tilted his head and brought his lips near to her ears and drove her over the edge towards maddening consciousness.
she could already feel the warmth of his lips on her ears.
And She readied herself to brace the imminent onslaught ...
ho gaya...
