9.NightMares Ruin Reality.
Like last night, she again felt him stir in his sleep, his palms that were placed on her waist began sweating, while he kept mumbling,
"Please Leave her...Please!"
Sanyukta, moved upward from his chest to his face, and looking at his pleading expression- she knew he was again having a nightmare, just like last night. May be the same one.
She entangled her fingers into his, and gently kissed his lips, assuring him she was right there, next to him, for him. She felt him relax as she did that, and he finally was fast asleep once again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Morning!" Randhir pecked her lips.
"Morning!" She smiled, getting up from the bed.
*knock knock*
Sanyukta opened the door, to see an excited Vidhushi standing at the door.
"Kaun hai Sanyukta?" Randhir asked , getting up from the bed, picking up his shirt that lay on the floor. He was surprised to hear the knock at the door, as they had not yet ordered break fast! It had to be either Parth or Vidhushi. He mentally thanked the interior designer of the hotel to place the room door in the hall, which was adjacent to the bedroom.
"Woh...Vidhu.." Sanyukta did not even complete her sentence, as Vidhushi pushed her aside, shamelessly entering their room, like it was her own.
Sanyukta widened her eyes on realising that Randhir had definitely not worn his shirt, Ok, he had, till last night, but she had removed it! She had been doing that from the past 4 nights...Last night was no different.
If Vidhushi saw him like that, she would make 100 stories to ruin her character.
"Hey Randhir!" She barged into the bedroom, with the tray she was holding, to see Randhir search for something in his cupboard. Sanyukta too entered the room, sighing on seeing Randhir had put his shirt on.
"Tum main basic manners nahi hai Vidhushi? Kisi k bhi room main knock karke aate hai!" Randhir arrogantly said, glaring at Vidhushi for her indecent behavior.
"Woh main..tumhaare liye break fast lekar..." Vidhushi began to defend herself.
" M sure the staff is well trained for proving these services. U do not have to bother!" Randhir walked into the washroom, banging the door shut.
He hated people who tried to get close to him unnecessarily! Infact he hated people altogether. He did not like having friends, or well wishers!
Yeah, Sanyukta was there, but that was different. She wasnt really a friend...She did not act all caring and lovey dovey. She was a smart, strong headed, no nonsense, focused person, just like him. Her career ranked above her personal life, something he adored about her. Not every girl could be as determined as her. She did not even interfere in his personal life, making him adore her even more. Yeah, she had asked him about his mom once, but that was it.
In the room, Sanyukta haughtily smiled at Vidhushi.
"I need to get ready too...U mind getting out?"
While Vidhushi stared at her angrily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel like sleeping for a day!" Randhir jumped on the bed, his eyes clearly stating his level of tiredness, his body to weak to even let
him get up and change. Sanyukta smiled looking at him. He was such a kid at times- stubborn, irritating and unreasonable!
Infact, in these 5 days, she realised he was slowly becoming even more difficult to handle, with the constant need of pampering to get him do any kind of work. May be she giving him to much atention, something he had missed during his childhood. But what ever it was, she loved this Randhir, rather than the arrogant Randhir!
But she had noticed he had too many nightmares, bothering her to a great extent. At first she thought may be the incessent work at office, and the factory was effecting his sleep, but from the past 2 nights, she had heard him mumble,
"Please leave her..please..." Though she ignored it considering it to be just a bad dream, she was certain something was amiss, but the busy schedule refrained her from questioning him about it. The hectic factory supervision, along with timely visits to the office of the client drained out all the energy they had and today was no different.Though they managed to enjoy their daily dose of physical intimacy, leaving them with no energy for striking any kind of conversation.
"Randhir...change toh karlo..." She walked to the bed, and sat beside him, lovingly stroking his hair, while he shifted his head from the pillow to her lap.
"M not changing today...main aise hee soo raha hoon!" He replied in a stubborn tone, his hands playing with her shirt buttons.
"Randhir! Dont act stubborn! Go and change!" She pushed his head off her lap, pecked his lips, and walked towards the wash room, but
halted mid way, when she heard him say,
"May be u could help me change?"He winked.
"Shut up Randhir!" Her face turned into crimson red on hearing his comment. She quickly barged into the washroom to save her self from any further embarrassing remarks.
Her lips curved into a smile on remembering how awesome these 5 days had been for her- Randhir had managed to make her feel, the way no one
ever had...She had never let anyone come so close to her...Ofcourse, even with Randhir there were limitations, there were boundaries,
but everytime they were at close proximity, she felt at peace. Her mornings were beautiful as he was besides her, her whole day was enjoyable with they working together, her nights were even better...But they never went over board, or rather he never went over board. He knew his "no entry" zone, and made it a point to not enter it even accidentally.
The only thing that was bothering her, was his continuous stirring while sleeping. She had to talk to him about it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanyukta was surprised to see the view in front of her on coming out of the washroom- Randhir was all fresh and alert, and was busy staring
at the T.V. screen on which played some random English movie. His back was leaning on the wall, his legs were stretched along the bed, the remote gripped in his hand.
"Tumhe toh neend aa rahi thi na? How come u r all fresh?" She suspiciously asked, proceeding towards the bed to settle beside him.
"Randhir!!!" She caught his shoulder and shook him violently upon getting no response to her question.
"Haa haa! Kya hua?" He looked at her, irritated for disturbing him.
"Now that u hv got all ur energy back, go and change!" She haughtily ordered him, leaning on his shoulder, to snatch the remote from his hand, while he moved his hand away, to make the remote out of reach from Sanyukta.
"U knw wat? Mr.Malhotra had called up. We have an off tomorrow..Matlab factory k workers ka off hai, so v dont have to go for any supervision!"
Sanyukta noticed the glow on his face while he was narrating Mr.Malhotra's words. Oh! How badly they wanted a day off to rest!
And god had actually been so kind to them.
"That is great!" She happily replied. And climbed over his thighs to snatch the remote from him, while his hands hid themselves behind his back.
"Ab go and change!" She once again told him, now sitting on his legs, with her her legs on either side of his, her hands struggling to snatch
the remote from his.
"Will u just stop telling me to change? I dont feel like changing Sanyukta! And u r blocking my view! Hatto! Mujhe TV dekh ne do!"
He rose his head high, conveying it to her that she was blocking his view.
"Randhir!!! Go and change! Aur mujhe remote do! I want to watch Doreamon!" She yelled in irritation, only to see Randhir burst out laughing.
"Sanyukta u r soo cute!" He wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer, while she folded her hands across her chest.
" And Waise bhi, main joh bhi pehenoo, end main toh main bina shirt k hee sota hoo..." He naughtily said, his hands now entering her tshirt.
"Randhir!" SHe hit his chest hard.
"Ohh common! M i lying?" He inched closer to her lips, and placed it on hers. Sanyukta responded to the kiss by gripping his collar, her tounge playing havoc in his mouth.
She shut her eyes, feeling jitters as his hand inside her t-shirt, caressed her waist gently. She immediately started unbuttoning his shirt, while his lips found their way to her long neck, leaving damp kisses all over, and love bites at some places...
She felt him go down to her cleavage, while his hands began to make their way upwards, making her stiff...
"Randhir!" She gasped in fear. She knew he wouldn't go to places she was uncomfortable with. But she just wanted to ensure he did not
lose control...
"I know...m sorry.." He rose his head from her neck, removed his hands from her t shirt, and kissed her once again, after which he let go off her, and she laid next to him, his hand arond her waist, while she rested her head on his chest.
"Dekha...main ne kaha tha na...It doesnt matter whether i change or dont..." Even without looking at him, Sanyukta could feel his lips
smiling naughtily.
"Hmmm..." She kissed his chest.
"Randhir..." She asked in a serious tone.
"Hmmm..." He muttered, stroking her hair.
"Ek baat poochoo?"
"Poocho na..." He stated in a casual tone.
"U get nightmares?" She asked, raising her head on top to face him.
"No I dont.." He blalantly lied, looking away from her eyes.
"Fir neend main kyu bolte ho 'Leave her plzz...' " Sanyukta narrowed her eyes, certain he was lying. She felt his body stiffen on hearing this.
"I dont remember.." He again lied, switching on the T.V to divert her attention.
But the moment he had answered her question, Sanyukta knew he was lying, rasing her curiosity to another level altogether. She found it quite odd to see a mentally strong person like Randhir, become so disturbed due to some nightmare. Though, what was troubling her even more, was his lack of sleep due to those stupid nightmares.
"If something is troubling u, ur free to share it...Aur bura sapne har kisi ko aata hai kabhi kabhi...its o.."
"Will u just stop it Sanyukta Agarwal!" He yelled getting up from the bed, his eyes burning in anger. He had lost his cool by now, furious at Sanyukta's guts to ask him questions that even Kabir had not dared to ask. And he had thought Sanyukta was not the kind of person who would interfere in his personal space! Yes, he did suffer from the problem of poor sleep, due to his nightmares. But it was not new! He had been facing the problem since he was seven! The worst part being, he knew exactly what the problem was, but had no cure for it.
Sanyukta, who was taken aback by his sudden outburst, sat upright, staring at him for a second,
"I just wanted to help..." She whispered, walking towards him. Her concerned tone , making Randhir feel guilty for his outburst, but his anger over took his guilt in seconds.
"Help?" He grabbed her shoulders.
"U cant help me. I dont need anyone's help! U get that? M capable of managing myself on my own!" He pulled her closer, pressing his body against hers, his furious eyes glaring into her scared ones. He believed he was self sufficient, and did not want to be dependent on anyone! Anyone at all!
"Randhir..i...was... just...concerned..." Sanyukta's voice was breaking. It hurt to see Randhir behave with her soo rudely. She had given him an important place in her life, and she assumed he had done the same with her. But may be, she was wrong. Or may be, sharing fears, and sorrows, was not in Randhir's nature. She decided to give him some time to open up, thus deciding to not question him further.
"No Sanyukta! U r not supposed to be concerned for me! V r not soulmates or watever! Yes, u r my girlfriend, but that does not give
u the right to ask me personal questions!" He pushed her away, and walked outside the room, while Sanyukta stared at his retreating back, tears unknowingly flowing through her eyes. She did not even know what the hell was she feeling so hurt about. It was not like Randhir had promised her to share every secret of his life with her! Even she knew the basis of their relationship was not trust or love! But still, Randhir's behavior had hurt her...
"V r not soulmates or watever!" These words kept ringing in her ears, and everytime she thought about them, a fresh set of tears
left her eyes...
Do not forget to leave ur views...Feel free to criticize too...yes, suggestions are more than welcomed...xD :)
