.PART 1.
The high- voltage songs which blazed wildly in her earphones at a high-volume were quite enough for her to escape the wrath of the world. She closed her eyes and paid no heed to the world surrounding her, she sat in her seat completely insouciant about her whereabouts stretching her legs beneath the front seat. Her messy garbs showed how clumsy she was; she cared for nothing but herself. She sat there deeply lost in those loud-mouthed, painful lyrics, she kept listening carefully the pain in the singer's voice, it was her favorite singer, no wonder he was the only singer who could make her cry and laugh at the same time, and somehow even her situation managed to match the song. A lot had happened in just a matter of a week, without her even getting even a second to realize it. She kept cursing her life, when someone sitting beside her, nudged his finger on her hand; she opened her eyes and glared at him for disturbing her, and with a mere irritation, asked,
What happened now?"
He just rested his back completely to his seat and just turned his head towards her,
I wouldn't mind if you pick up your obese handbag from my lap..."he said.
What...??!"she asked as the constantly blazing song in her ears had dominated his voice completely and she was not able to hear him. He wagged his head looking at her, and just pointed his finger towards her bag which was lying obstinately in his lap.
Your bag...!"he said handing it over to her and she snatched it from him.
He chuckled at her behavior and got engrossed in his phone, when an announcement was made in the flight that it was just about to take off, he thought of telling her the same as she was still lost in listening to the songs, but refrained as he knew her reaction very well and continued doing his own work, when the airhostess came to check the cabinets and the seat belts and was just about to tell her about the same, but stopped from disturbing her as he told her to. The airhostess smiled at his concern and walked away again as the flight was ready for the take-off. And in a few minutes, she snapped open her eyes as she felt a little movement in the flight and the vibrations caused in the flight had startled her, she took off her earphones from her ears and got adjusted in her seat, applying the seat belt. Fear had already dawned upon her, as she clutched her hands tightly to the handles of her seat and tightly closed her eyes, and little drops of sweat had appeared on her face, which never went unnoticed by him, he just looked at her pale face in horror, and on seeing him looking at her, she tried behaving normal.
Just hold my hand...You'll feel better..." he simply said with a cheeky smile stretching his hand in front of her, while she glared at him.
Not in this life...!"She muttered angrily.
Stop being angry now...forget what our families did...you know, you can't deny us...our relation...and when I am ready for this, then why not you...?"He slowly mumbled.
Because I hate you...!"She simply cried out.
But I love you...!"he simply said which made her dumbfounded for a few seconds.
To hell with your love...whatever you do, you are not getting mine... I am not falling into your trap mr.rathore!"she said mentally.
Don't worry...kya pata even you'll fall for me ..."he said mentally with a smirk and again rested back while she saw him with her eyes full of irritation.
My hand is always there for you...you can hold it...if you get scared..."he said closing his eyes, while she got fixed back to her seat as the flight had started moving swiftly amplifying its speed with every passing second, her body went cold and trembled severely, she tried distracting herself again by the music, but this fear which she always had was out of her control, she looked at him, who was deep asleep and slowly drifted herself into his embrace hugging him, folding back the handle bar between both their seats, and he giggled a little,
My hand was not enough, I guess...!!" he mumbled slowly opening his eyes and looking at her. And she got startled as he was wide awake, and separated herself from him, but he again pulled her into him and wrapped his hand around her protectively, he was her last choice to save herself and hence cuddled more into him, as the flight slowly swept of its wheels off the ground with a rough movement. As the flight moved in upward direction, she chose not to leave him and tightly clutched to his t-shirt moving more into him, while he tilted his head on hers, and kept stroking his hand against her back with a deep smile.
It was just yesterday, that they both had to get married without their consent, and it was only their families which had forced both of them into this. Neither he was asked, nor she, it was just a last moment decision and they had no choice than to oblige this as they were blackmailed emotionally. Both their families had a great bonding, and knew each other since the time when even these two weren't born, and as they came into this world, both their families wished to make them get married once they grow up. She always had a great dislike for him, while he had loved her since the time he had realized his senses, it never mattered for him, how she looked or what clothes she wore, and it was just an inner feeling which made him fall for her. Their marriage was a rushed affair, and today they were sent for their honeymoon to sort out their differences. And she was really angry on her family as they had done this to her, she was a free bird before this marriage, she thought.
He slowly tugged her hair behind her ear, and looked at her face which was slowly regaining its color into a beautiful skin tone; her face was not pallid anymore, a curve formed on his lips as he saw her deep asleep in his embrace, and slowly kissed on the top of her head.
You don't know how beautiful you are, to me...!"he mumbled slowly.
I can never even dream of forcing you into this..."he said and gradually drifted into a deep sleep covering her with his jacket, while she cozily settled in his arms. Within an hour or so, she slowly opened her eyes as the airhostess woke her up as she served the lunch; she suddenly jolted back in her seat in amazement as she found herself in his arms and his jacket covering her. She was shocked for a few moments as she didn't knew how and when it had happened, but soon,
Moron!!" she cussed and hit him hard enough on his arm to wake him up.
Are you mad or what...? Aise koyi uthaata hain kya kisiko...??"he asked in an extreme amazement.
Kya kiya tune mere saath..??"she asked angrily.
Madam...ye na flight hain...aur yahaan main chahu bhi na..to bhi kuch nahi kar saktaa..!!"he said.
To teri ye gandi si jacket mere upar kaise aayi...??"she asked angrily throwing it on him.
Madam...it was you who was shivering with cold...thodi help kya kardi zyaada udd mat...!"he said.
Excuse me..."she said calling the airhostess, and she came, can you change my seat please...I am not feeling comfortable here...!!"she said.
Ma'am but...we don't have any seats left...You'll have to adjust here..."said the airhostess.
Yeah...but the washroom must be available right?? Can you shift her there..?"He tried to crack a joke which worked out on the airhostess as she laughed, but nisha punched him hard in his stomach.
Idiot..!"she mumbled.
Within minutes, both of them calmed themselves as they saw a lot of eyes looking at them, and she kept gazing at him while they had their lunch, and within an hour they reached their honeymoon destination, a small yet beautiful island in Maldives. And soon they went to their hotel which had their rooms pre-booked, and checked into it.
At the reception while kabir was busy flirting with the assistant manager, she went ahead and talked to the manager with a disgusted mood,
Do you have another room..??"she asked with her voice full of irritation.
But your room is already booked ma'am, on the name of Mr. & Mrs. Rathore"said the manager.
Don't call me that...its nisha gangwal!"she said in an angry tone scaring the manager.
Ma'am...but we don't have any rooms left with us...they are all booked..!"said a scared manager.
Okay...chill...do you have another hotel on this island..? however it is!!"she said.
Ma'am but that's not safe...and as there are only two hotels in this island, I fear you might get no room there too..."he said gently.
Okay...fine then..let it be..!? I'll adjust" she said glaring at kabir who was still busy in his flirting, so she took this as a chance and raced towards the room to get the control of it, while seeing her he raced at a double speed, and as they entered into the room, he just jumped on the bed,
What the hell are you doing kabir...!!?"she asked angrily.
Dekh main abhi bohot tired hun...aur main tujhse bilkul ladne ke mood me nahi hun..."he said sleepily.
Lekin tu uth wahaan se...bed par sirf main soungi...!"she said pulling him off the bed.
Kyun?? Tere gharwaalo ne dahej me diya hain tujhe..??"he said mocking her.
Kabirr...dekh uth jaa wahaan se..."she said.
Main nahi uthunga...if you want to sleep here...you can sleep on the left...right side mera hain...I won't mind...!"he said.
Dekh mujhe pareshaan mat kar...uth jaa...!"she said angrily.
Dekh ...if you want to sleep..then you can ...and if you can't, then I can't do anything...there's a couch behind you...you can sleep there if you wish..!"he said stretching his hands on the bed.
Okay...fine...go to hell!!"she said and grabbed a pillow from the bed and laid down on the couch after changing into some comfortable clothes. He chuckled as he couldn't help her big fat ego and slipped into a deep slumber ignoring her and she however adjusted in the couch. It was midnight, when his sleep got disturbed as he felt some weight on his chest and legs, he got startled and switched on the lamp on his side and found her sleeping comfortably snuggling into him, he giggled mentally over the whole thing.
Damn this girl...mere paas bhi khud hi aati hain...aur door bhi khud hi jaati hain..."he slowly mumbled and covered her with a duvet letting her be in his arms. And as he covered her with his duvet, she snuggled more into him, her lips touched his neck giving birth to unknown desires within him and it had really become hard for him now, but somehow he again dominated them.
It was morning by now; he already woke up and was in the washroom freshening up, while she was still sleeping, when the click of the door woke her up, she slowly opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the bed, she smiled for an unknown reason, she cuddled more into the sheets fisting it and dug her face into his pillow, inhaling the scent it had, which was strange, according to her yet it had some magic in it, but soon as the realization struck her, she looked at a shirtless kabir who was standing before her in a dumbfounded state in just his trousers, for a few seconds she ogled at his well-toned body as it was a great treat for her eyes,
Perfect..."she mumbled, looking at the perfect curves of his body.
He slowly walked towards her while she kept looking at him, her heartbeats increased as slowly the distance between them decreased, and he slowly bent on to her keeping both his hands on her either side, while her breath just got struck at a point, he smirked seeing his effect on her and took his shirt which was pressed beneath her and she huffed when he walked back taking his shirt.
Gadhaa..."she said as he walked, what happened to you nisha,...you just have to ignore him..ye poora iska trap hain...!"she said to herself.
As he got ready, he sat in the couch reading to his novel while she got ready in the meanwhile and came out of the washroom in her ordinary garbs, and stood at the window looking at the scenery outside while blow drying her hair, while he secretly stole some glances, and his trance broke when someone knocked on their door, and as he opened the door, the manager along with a waiter entered into the room, the waiter kept their breakfast on the table and left, while the manager stayed there, he wished them a good morning and,
Ma'am, sir, you have booked a three days-four nights premium package...in which we have several programs for the honeymoon couples, here are some brochures regarding the same, you just have to tick mark on what you would like to have in your package" said the manager and handed kabir the brochure, which she snatched from his hand, and started looking into it, she then quickly marked four out of the five activities randomly not giving it a clear thought, while he could just move his head in helplessness. She then handed it over to the manager, while he smiled sheepishly at them,
Then what we have to do..?"asked a helpless kabir.
Ahh...you both will have to assemble in the reception at exact 10...and today you'll be doing sight-seeing ...and then tomorrow its shopping ...and then dolphin watching...and day after tomorrow...it's a surprise ..!"said the manager.
Nishaa...shopping..?? you've marked shopping...?"he asked making faces.
So what...it's my choice..."she said in extreme arrogance, while he folded up his hands.
Such a cute couple.." said the manager and left bidding a bye to them.
Cute couple..my foot..!"both of them said in unison as he left.
As told, they had their breakfast and reached near the reception, where various other couples were present too. They were first of all introduced to each other, and they met two other Indian couples, one of which was extremely of lovey-dovey kind, while the other was normal, the guy, vishal, was quite tall and had a well-built body while the girl, tina, was beautiful but kind of geeky. Nisha interacted really well with them, and the guy had already become her friend. Kabir could do nothing but just follow her, soon a tourist-guide was called who took them for the sight-seeing. Nisha didn't even for a second bother about kabir who just kept following her everywhere,
Nishaa..."he called her but she ignored, he increased his speed and paced to her faster, and kept his hand on her shoulder stopping her, she turned towards him, and ask,
What..??" Egoistically.
Your wallet fell behind..."he said handing her over her wallet which fell from her pocket.
When will you stop doing all this kabir..?? yeh harkatein kab band karega tu..??"she asked in disgust.
What are you saying..??"he asked.
Stop acting kabir...I know ye wallet tune hi nikaala hoga mere pocket se...tujhe samajh me kyun nahi aata...I just hate you...for everything...every damn thing...and maine tujhse shaadi apni khushi se nahi ki hain...so stop acting like my husband!"she said and vishal giggled.
Yeahh...right...mujhe to bohot khushi ho rahi hain tujhse shaadi karke ...see how happy I am..."he said angrily stretching his hands in air.
The tourist guide came in between stopping their fight, and tried making them understand, but they were hell angry on each other. As they went to have their lunch, kabir started flirting with tina to distract his mind, while vishal was busy talking to nisha,
Kya yaar...aise bhi koyi ladta hain kya...?"he asked.
Ismein meri koyi galti nahi hain...sab kuch shuru usnee kiyaa tha...!"she said.
That's what I am saying na...tumhaari to koyi galti hain hi nahi...it's him..chod do usko.."he said simply.
What..?"she asked confused.
Aree...I am joking...don't take it serious..."and he chuckled painting his words.
Yeahh...I think I should go now..."she said and walked back to the place where kabir was, who glared at her leaning to the bar counter.
Are you drunk..??"she asked as she saw him stumbling.
Haan...ab tere pyaar me devdas hi banna baaki reh gaya hain na mera..??"he said sarcastically.
Duffer.." she said.
Tu kaunsi kam hain mujhse..."he said as he heard what she said.
Chal hatt..."she said, tu hatt na" he said.
The day ended with them fighting all along; finally they had their dinner and dispersed into their rooms. He sat on his side of the bed and looked at her secretly as she paced in the room talking to someone over the phone happily. He wondered who it could be, but later dismissed all his thoughts as she switched off her phone and kept it on the table. He stood up, taking a glass of water in his hand and slowly while drinking it, he noticed her movements as her back was turned towards him. She slowly rolled up her hair into a messy bun, and turned around as she felt his gaze on her, but she stumbled with the legs of the couch and was just about to fall, when he caught her right in time, she opened her eyes and found herself in his strong arms,
Kabir chod mujhe...!"she said, and immediately he, who was lost in her, absent-mindedly left her and she fell direct on the floor.
Aee...maine tujhe chodne ko bola tha...giraane ko nahi.."she shouted rubbing her ankle as it pained.
You need my help..??"he asked offering his hand.
No thanks...I can do my work on my own..."she said trying to stand up, while he stood in front of her folding his hands. As she tried, she fell due to loss of balance, and finally he had picked her up in his arms and laid her down on the bed and then lied down on his side, switching off the lights.
Stop cussing!!"he mumbled slowly as he heard her whispers in the dark.
