Sorry, sri, I didn't see your post in the last part. And anyway, now I've decided to split 11 and re-do second half, so this is kind of short. If I get mood and finish re-writing, I'll post at once.
Part 11
Yuvraj was almost at the auditorium when his phone rang again. He answered, but instead of what he expected, he heard Suhani screaming at someone to let her go. There were sounds of struggle; he put his foot down on the accelerator and screeched to a stop near the venue.
A security guard was sitting holding his head in his hands. Suhani shouted out--he saw her trapped by a guy against a car--was that Ankit? Her top was torn, her hair dishevelled, but she was fighting him with fury, clawing and kicking. Yuvraj threw his mobile at the guard--"Police ko phone karo. ABHI!" as he ran towards the struggling couple. He pulled the guy away, smacked him violently across his face, grunting as the guy punched him in return. The two men struggled with each other, with Suhani hitting Ankit wherever she could reach, until a siren signalled the arrival of a squad car. Yuvraj pushed Ankit towards the policemen, panting, "Arrest him--he was trying to molest my wife."
His knuckles were scraped, and he'd taken a few nasty blows from Ankit, but he was so high on adrenaline, he didn't feel a thing. Ankit was led away after Suhani related what had happened, shivering now and almost incoherent. Her knees seemed to give way, and Yuvraj caught her and half carried her to the car. He comforted her with soft murmurs that she was safe, made her get in, and headed for home. When they reached, he helped her out of the car and to their room. She was still shaking when he set her down on the bed. "It's okay, you're okay, Suhani. You fought back, did you see the claw marks on his face? Come on, he's going to be locked up. Calm down, drink some water."
He sat beside her, feeling guilty--this would not have happened if he'd been there on time. Or suggested she drive herself. Tears were rolling down her face now, and she leant against him as he stroked her back, smoothed her hair. At some point electricity entered their space, and before he knew it, he was kissing her and she was kissing him back. Things got even more heated before some glimmer of sanity returned. "Is this a mistake?" he asked her. "Isn't this the wrong time? You're upset, you're scared."
"Shut up." She pulled him back to her, and he was no longer able to think of anything much. The aphrodisiac of having protected his woman enhanced the physical desire he could no longer control. He didn't care any longer if it was the right time or the right thing.
She woke up the next morning and smiled to herself. For once she was awake before him, and she stretched like a cat, feeling happy and content until she remembered what had happened after the concert. God, what if Yuvraj hadn't turned up in time? The poor security guard who'd run to help had got bashed in the skull and had been out of commission. Who'd have thought Yuvraj, whom she always felt was too mild-mannered, could be so macho. She felt all melty at the thought, snuggling into the curve of his arm.
He woke up with a feeling of well-being coupled with doubt. He remembered everything in its entirety, hoping he hadn't taken advantage of her. He turned to look at her and saw that she for one had no regrets--she was smiling at him, looking happy. This was a good feeling.
