Realization.
However, we reached the office, romancing all through the way. She walked ahead, and I followed her into the office. Blushy smiles on our faces. Neeta, her Co-intern stopped her, as she walked to her place. I slowed down to have an ear at their conversation. I grabbed a file and stood nearby. Neeta asked Nisha that why she was late, to which Nisha said that she had some very important work at home, as she looked at me through the corner of her eyes, to which, I smirked and blushed. Then an unexpected question came from her. She asked Nisha that, what were those marks on her face and neck, and her lips, to which, nisha said that it was due to an allergic reaction to some cosmetic cream. She was really very good at making excuses. Their conversation sounded hilarious to me, until Karan came and asked her all irrelevant questions and insisted to take her to the doctor. She, somehow, escaped. He was her good friend, I could see, or may be for him, more than that. I felt waves of jealousy forming within me. I let it go, as I knew that Nisha loved me only.
Half the day passed. All the interns were assigned some tasks. She was writing something on a paper. She looked cute, or rather hot, as air gushed across her face. How lucky I was, to have her cabin just outside my room. She went into the store room to get something, and I sneaked out of my cabin too. As I walked out, and passed by her desk, the paper on which she was writing, fell near my feet. I picked it up to keep it back, but I saw my name mentioned in a para of words. I curiously started reading it. It mentioned about how happy she was about the previous night. I smiled. But she also wrote that she was only doing this for me, as she loved me. She wrote, sexual relationships for her, were hard due to her childhood experiences. She feared them. But still she did it with me, because she didn't want to shatter my feelings. She didn't want me to feel deprived. She wrote, how she feared losing me. My feeling that things were moving really fast was true. She didn't want it last night, but she did. She wrote, how she always knew that I was awake while she kissed. She wrote how much she loved me, from the very beginning, but was scared of me, my touch. I raped her, kind of. I felt guilty. She had no consent, but she moved with the flow like a dead fish. I failed to understand what she wanted. She touched me, because I wanted it, and not because, she wanted it. All that I thought about our closeness, was wrong, it was all for me, and because of me. I got the answer for the question that I asked her last night, that whether she loved me the way I did- and the answer was, an absolute no, as she loved me far more than I did. This realisation gained a lot of respect for her in my eyes. We need to talk about this. All women were not the same, she was different.
I kept the paper back on her desk and went into the store room to find her, to find her sitting in a corner with her hands encircling her folded legs, and her head rested back to the wall. Her eyes, closed. I went and sat beside her, without disturbing her. I rested my head on her shoulder. She jerked it away, not thinking it to be me. She looked at me in surprise. I smiled weakly. "Scared due to the touch?" I asked her. She fumbled. "I read," I said, and her eyes became moist. "why did you let me touch you?" I asked. She should have beaten me up. She didn't answer. "You don't need to do this, Nisha, I said that I can wait." I told her. "I want you to do this, but I am scared of touch, it reminds me of those days in my childhood," she said. "So, you never trusted me?" I asked. "I did, I always did, but I was scared," she said. "Hold my hand," I said, forwarding my hand towards her. She took no time to do so. I held it, I kissed her palm, and then, I kept her hand right over my heart. "Do you feel those heartbeats?" I asked. She nodded. "Do you trust them?" I asked. She nodded. "Do you think they will ever harm you?" I asked. "No," she said. "They beat for you, Nisha. Since the time I've seen you in the college, they beat for you! I've always loved you," I told her how I would secretly adore her since the college days but only that I could never name this feeling . She smiled. Tears escaped her eyes, and I kissed them off. "I actually love you, Nisha, I am not joking." I said. "I second what you said. I've stalked you since the college days." Nisha said, giggling, while she wiped her tears like a kid. "I am sorry for last night," I apologised. "You don't need to be. I love you, I trust you, and so, I could let you do it." She said. I was a bit relieved. She sat on my lap with her legs on either side, hugging me, just like a little kid. "You are just like a kid," I said. "For you, yes." she said as she kissed my earlobe and played with my hair. I kissed her shoulder and patted her back. We remained in that position for a few minutes, before the peon entered the store room and saw us in that position. He was Diya's slave. We settled ourselves, and Nisha moved out, as I shut his mouth with a thousand ruppees note. I hope he doesn't tell anyone, and even if he does, there's no major harm though.
