The next morning I was feeling slightly sore all over my body. It had been an intense yet incredible time I spent with Abhi. He was gentle but he had so much energy that he was demanding too. I was better aware of things this time unlike the last time where everything seemed to catch me off guard. But I was in for surprises and revelations here too as we went all the way this time. More than the elation of the act itself the better part for me was the aftermath cuddling. Snuggling to him with my head on his chest and his lazy hands on me with sweet whispers and sighs, interrupted only by even sweeter kisses was the best moment of my life.
But a deep-rooted anxiety still bothered me. There was something fluid about the situation that still worried me.
The first thing I did when I reached the college that day was to hand over my project report. I hoped Abhi would make it soon to the college and do the same but he did not show up for the first class. I texted him but it didn't get delivered. The first class for the day started and the second got finished but Abhi still did not show up. Purab and Nikki had no clue about him and I started to worry. When it was lunch break Abhi finally came to the campus and he had missed the deadline to submit the report.
"Abhishek where were you? You didn't even submit the report. I would have done it for you if you told me you were going to be late. What will you do now?", I asked frantically.
"Relax, Chashmish. It's just a report", Abhi seemed calm, to my shock.
"Abhishek, how can you take it easy? It's important for your degree and future too. How can you be relaxed about it? Go check with the professor if you can still submit", I demanded.
"I don't think he can submit now, Pragya Di. I handed over my report one minute before 12 noon and he was already mad at me. He might have left for home now, he always leaves by this time. Abhi you lost your credits yaar. May be you have to take up extra credits in the finals", Purab wondered.
"This is not good, Abhishek. So much hard work goes into this and you fail to submit the report. This is completely irresponsible", I was angry.
"Why is she so mad at me yaar? I know she is mad because she herself wrote this report", Abhi told Purab.
"This is not about me, Abhishek. It's about you. It's for your future. It's not just me who worked on it. You remember you collected data too?", I yelled.
"Chashmish, I had told you I don't want to do this a long time ago. Anyways, now I will get this in, just for you. Not for me, okay? Let's go, Purab", Abhi pulled Purab to get up from his chair and they both walked towards the professor's office while I still complained to Nikki about Abhi's irresponsibility.
Fifteen minutes later, Abhi and Purab came back laughing, talking about how they tricked the professor's assistant and got Abhi's report in too. Apparently Abhi even paid 100 bucks to the assistant after getting the report in, since he also needed to make an entry in the register.
I didn't talk to Abhi during lunch as I was annoyed at how he didn't come on time and then tricked the assistant with handing over the report. But when it came to the last bite, Abhi offered it to me saying, "eat it Chashmish, you will get the best boyfriend".
"I don't want it", I moved his hand away but I was almost smiling already.
"When did you start believing in this last bite thing Abhi?' wondered Nikki.
"Ever since you have fallen for that lecturer", Abhi teased Nikki and she started hitting him with her notebook. I couldn't help smiling at their antics.
"Take it Chashmish", Abhi offered me the last bite again. I looked at him and he slightly licked his lip that had me hold my breath as I gulped. I took the piece from his hand into my mouth.
"Purab, it's confirmed today, let's leave these to alone for now. Let's go", Nikki told Purab. I was quite surprised.
"Thank you darlings", Abhi called as they walked away.
"They know about us?" I asked Abhishek almost in a whisper.
"Looks like it. Do you mind? But they are our friends. No harm. And if the rest of the world knows, I don't care. Only my Daadi shouldn't know. I will tell her myself", Abhi stretched his arms and got comfortable.
"By the way, why were you late?" I wanted to know.
"One producer called me. So went to see him. But he wanted me to pay him instead of him paying me! So nothing worked out", Abhi said impassively.
"You got late because of that", I complained.
"It's okay, Chashmish. The report is submitted. Drop it", he seemed annoyed.
Just then I noticed a bruise on his neck. "Abhishek, what happened there?", I asked pointing to the bruise that seemed fairly large.
"You don't know? Someone has sharp teeth. My God Abhishek...please... please... No No No... remember now?", he winked.
I was flustered remembering the last evening I bit on his neck to contain myself "I am sorry", I said embarrassed.
"I love it, babe. But next time a little lower. I don't want everyone to see your teeth marks, hmm?", he made me feel all the more shy as we walked to the classroom.
The next few weeks were spent in us preparing for the finals. We did group studies and many times it was just Abhi and I, which led to heated escapades often. The best part was we did prepare well and Abhi although wasn't studious like me, was sincere to studies when he did it. However my shock came when Abhi actually missed two exams, which meant he wouldn't graduate unlike the rest of us. He had gotten a chance to do jingles for a famous company advertisements and he of course ignored exams to do that.
I was quite disappointed that he would fail in his final year due to this but he was the least bothered. It led to major arguments between us and we were not on talking terms for two days. But then, he ended up throwing a party for me when I got selected for a professional masters degree in the institute I worked for my project. I was offered scholarship that covered all my fees and expenses and a masters in that institute could only be the best in the country. This I believed was majorly because of the professor I worked with and the project. Of course Abhi had a big role in getting me into that institute and even the professor often remembered Abhi.
"You could have been selected for masters too in the same institute. If only you finished your degree. Even my professor has been impressed with you", I told him after the party that night.
"Uff, Chashmish, how do you expect me to work with that baldy professor for a year? I am saved and you are caught. Now you can do whatever you want in that institute but not fall for that baldy and ditch me for him alright", he had joked.
"Abhishek, at least you be serious and take up exams in the supplementary exams", I requested.
"I will look into it", he said reluctantly.
I knew Abhi wanted to achieve big in music. I knew he had big dreams and working hard for it. But what scared me was the uncertainty that surrounded the celebrity world. I wished Abhishek had finished his degree and had joined masters course. The institute that I was going to join meant I would be able to easily find good jobs after I finished my masters. I wished the same for Abhi too but was too sad to see him missing his chances blatantly.
But soon I realized Abhi was never serious about taking up exams. He was getting more offers to do small music projects and concerts here and there but nothing big had come his way. He was making some money and sustaining himself just fine but he had no stable job or a foreseeable plan. However I made sure I supported him in my best capacities along his way and he was always there for me, cheering me and loving me.
10 months down the line my masters was about to be completed. Now Pandit Aunty had gotten more serious to look for matches for me. I had tried to dodge her and my mother in that matter as long as I could but I worried they might keep coming up with their plans.
And that was one of those days Abhi came to see me. My place at the institute campus was a small home and I had no restrictions.
Similar to most of our meetings, we were in each other's arms in no time, all bare and needy.
"Chashmish, which color you want? Red, blue or orange?", Abhi showed me the square packets of protection he had got.
"What colored ones? Where did you get these?", I was amused to see the colorful condoms.
"They have pink ones too! Would you like them?", he grinned.
"What even Abhishek!", I rolled my eyes.
"Arey Chashmish, tell me na, which colour? I can't wait anymore", he insisted.
"I don't want any of them", I said looking away.
"You want me directly inside? But Chashmish, I won't commit that mistake again. The last time I did that once you freaked out although nothing really happened inside. I remember how you worried every day until you got your periods. So let me be safe. Else we will have a fear of 100 Chashmish babies running around", he laughed.
"Everything is a joke to you Abhishek", I suddenly felt off thinking of babies and perhaps marriage.
"What do you mean?" Abhi sounded serious.
"You don't want baby complications, hmm? You don't want marriage either.", I sighed.
"What are you even trying to say Chashmish?", Abhi said molding my breasts.
"Abhishek how long you want us to be like this?", I tried to sit up.
"Chashmish, you know I am working hard for my dream. It's just a matter of time!" Abhi tried to assure.
"I don't get it Abhishek. This is Mumbai, and every day 100s of people come here to achieve their dreams", I tried to explain my thoughts.
"Baby, 100s of people come everyday but one among them does make it big, they create wonders", Abhi had his answer.
"But it's a luck factor, Abhishek. I know you are very talented and dedicated. But how long you will chase the rainbow? I am not saying you should give up on music or anything but you should take life seriously also, na? You need to settle down and focus on something. Like if you had finished your degree, you would have been doing your masters now. If you did your masters from that institute, a job is guaranteed", I elaborated.
"Chashmish, that is taking the safest route you are talking about. I have chosen to do something out of ordinary and it's not going to fall on my plate", Abhi said laying besides me.
"But Abhishek, you didn't even take up that TV soap music composition job you were offered. At least that you should have done", I said putting my head on his chest.
"Baby, that will brand me as a composer for such stuff. It's very hard to launch yourself big if you get stuck in smaller things. I can't risk it. You don't understand these things. You haven't been in industry circles", he still explained.
"I don't know anymore, Abhishek. I just feel weird. How long this will go", I sighed.
"Be my support who pushes me forward not the one that pulls me back. I am trying my best to get where I want to. And this will go as long as I do not give up on it. And in my dictionary there is no give up, once you are onto something. So it's your call, how you want to take it", Abhi said looking at the ceiling fan.
"It's not like I do not trust you to achieve what you want to. I am just afraid of luck and future" I said as I sat up.
"Anything favors the prepared mind, Chashmish", he got up and started to get dressed.
I got dressed too quickly. It was first time Abhishek gave up on making love in between and that certainly worried me.
"I wish you could trust in me better. I don't have anything more to say. I got to go. Bye Chashmish", he walked away before I could stop him.
I sat on my bed as tears flew down my eyes. I knew I had hurt him. But I felt the need to tell him to secure what we have than trying to chase something elusive. However, the fact that I hurt him had my heart bleed. I just wished I could run behind him and stop him. I just didn't know what was right what was wrong in this quandary. But my first priority was to talk to him again and calm him down.
I was all the more perturbed.
