I don't exactly remember when I fell in love- scratch that...I don't remember when I realized I was still in love with Abeer Malhotra. It must've been somewhere between when he begged Maa to take care of me and when I started seeing him daily.
The last thing I remember before the accident was his dad hurling taunts at me. I hated him for that in fact. Well atleast that's what I made myself think.
Abeer never understands how much his actions hurt someone. It was a mistake, I knew he meant well, but I couldn't risk being indebted to Kuber Malhotra.
So it was obvious, that after the accident, I put up a facade strong enough to make him crumble in regret. I wanted to hurt him as much as he had hurt me. Afterall, 8 years of acting made me a master by now.
He did everything in his vicinity to help me. Even when I hurt him.
After 8 years, I didn't see any hate in his eyes. I only saw love.
He came to change my bandage like he did everyday since I was finally out of the caste.
Today I didn't feel like hiding anything. I didn't have any more courage to hurt him.
Today I wanted him. I wanted him to touch me out of love like he used to.
I wanted him to make me go crazy like he used. I was tired of all the tensions heating up between us.
As soon as I sensed his arrival at the door, I feigned a pain on my neck.
He rushed towards me, I pointed to the nape of my neck.
"Ahh.." I hissed.
It was where his name was etched on my body.
I saw his facial expression in the mirror change to a more skeptical one.
He looked back at me.
"Ouch, it hurt-" I said in a slightly higher pitched voice.
Before I could finish my sentence, I felt his hands on my back.
Rubbing it in small, circular motions. From the nape of neck off to the sides of my shoulders.
The lightness of his strokes leaving my heartbeat in a marathon.
His hands still knew darn well how to wreck havoc over me. I sensed he was coming to a stop till I pulled out an age old naughty trick.
I threw my head back and moaned...his name...out loud
Knowing he couldn't see me, I bit my lip naughtily.
My eyes opened in shock as I felt my back zipper being pulled down.
His warm breath touched my ear as he whispered
" No need to fake it baby."
