Shaan put his arms out and stretched closing his eyes;
Ahh! It had been a productive day, he had managed to accomplish a lot of things on his agenda. He had done some background research on the 2 builders who had expressed an interest in hiring him; it always comes in handy to know your clients' philosophy. He had contacted Pooja his cousin and she had been more than eager to help getting his name out and around as the New Age Architect;
Anything for my bro and his lovely wife! By the way, nayi nayi shaadi hui hai, take it easy and make sure my bhabhi always keeps smiling, or there will be nobody worse than me! she had said laughing.
Don't worry, I have no intention of getting beat up! He had replied; he loved his cousin as his own sis, and they understood each other very well.
He had been a little concerned that the new work would demand all his attention that he wouldn't have time to put the effort required on the Charity hospital and that just won't do; it had become his top priority and he could not let it take the back seat. He would need expert help. He called up Ramzz, Khanak's structural engineer friend and was pleased with her response.
No issues Shaan, I actually have some long due vacation coming up and it would give me great pleasure to spend on something so wonderful and I may also have some other good news for you as well, I will let you know about it soon.
Shaan wondered what the good news could be before he picked up his cell to call his wife. He was shocked to see that the battery had completely discharged. He glanced at the simple wall clock and his eyes widened to see that it was just an hour before midnight.
Goddammit! My poor baby would have been waiting for me.
Wonder where she is? When she didn't answer his call, he nervously dialed her parents house;
Shantanu beta? Where have you been? Khanak has been trying to get a hold of you all evening. When she couldn't reach your cell, she called your work and some secretary told her that you were not available or something like that. She has been very agitated these past few hours, thinking all kinds of things. Tum toh use acchi tarah jaante ho na beta!
I'm so sorry papaji! My cell is dead and I got too busy with work that I didn't see the time! Is she there still? Shaan hoped and prayed that she was.
No beta, she got a call from the hospital and left in a hurry two hours ago, she said she would go home directly from there. Its such a relief to hear your voice! Aage se dhyaan rakhna beta!
Yes papaji, I will.
Shaan rushed out of his office to where Rahul's secretary Ms Rinni Khanna sat; angry that she had wilfully misinterpreted his directions. He had instructed her not to disturb him, at no time asking her to block any calls; but she had done so for someunknown reason, even those of his own wife's.
He quickly scanned all the received calls on her phone and saw that his Angel had tried to call him at least 10 times between 7 and 8 pm, perhaps before she had got called away by the hospital.
He banged his hand against the desk in frustration, why did people want to mar his wonderful life?
'''''
It was close to midnight when he let himself into their apartment. The living room was dimly lit from the light coming from the kitchen...
Darling! Look who's home?
Discarding his keys and laptop on the counter, he saw that the food was untouched, the bowls covered and plates neatly arranged and set for dinner.
He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply; she was angry and hurt. Hands clenched into fists, he cursed himself again, why hadn't he noticed the passage of time? His behavior was unforgivable.
He walked into the bedroom, his footsteps light;
Her night lamp was on and her Mac lay on the floor on the side of the bed with some official looking papers strewn around, as if abandoned in haste. He picked one of them up and saw that it had the names of a couple of people neatly printed one below the other along with their diagnoses (she had an excellent hand for a doc he thought,) and then below was his name 'Shantanu,' written over and over filling several lines, the writing gradually deteriorating either due to fatigue or fury into a scrawl ( he was afraid it was the later,)...he could see that the pencil stub had broken with the amount of force she had used.
He sighed long and deep, how would he make up to her now?
A muffled sound came from the direction of the bed; he looked up and saw that she had pulled up the sheets completely over her head and her body was shaking silently with sobs.
Hesitating, not knowing what to expect he touched her lightly; Honey, I am sorry.
She jerked up right away and turned around her eyes red rimmed and her cheeks streaked with tears; Don't touch me, go away! She mouthed without making a sound and turned her back on him tucking the sheet tight around her head.
Now listen to me, I said that I am sorry didn't I and I meant it. He sat next to her, trying to pull off the sheet and a tug of war ensued.
Finally he forced it off and she sat up still in her pink saree; no longer crying, instead looking like an injured tigress with eyes that blazed with anger. Her dark mane framed her small face like a wild cloud and her bosom heaved with her quickened shallow breathing; she looked'.simply Breathtaking!
Sorry my foot! How dare you tell your beloved secretary to block calls even from your own wife..? And then later when I tried calling your mobile it was conveniently switched off! I didn't expect this from you;'My darling sweetheart! The last few words came out from between clenched teeth, he had never seen her this wild before...she looked ready to eat him alive.
He drew closer, wishing to take her in his arms, her tremulous lips and flushed cheeks a clear invitation to him, besides he hadn't touched her all day; She is not 'MY secretary' as you put it, I just borrowed her today from Rahul since I had a lot of things to be done. And I guess he gives her free reign to do what she wants. I'd have to spell it out clearly to her tomorrow that I am not Rahul. And as far as my cell goes, it is dead, see I can prove it! He held up the discharged phone hoping that it was enough evidence for his innocence.
You BORROWED her! And now she thinks she owns you and your time?? That B*%$**!!! I wish I could strangle her, in fact I wish I could strangle you too!! She said her eyes narrowed, looking straight in front and then at him, clenching her saree in her long slim hands, her face set with determination.
Then please do, I am your willing victim; He whispered softly, his eyes flicking deliberately over her deliciously disheveled body and then met hers, clearly conveying his intent.
She flushed deeper, then looked away abashed yet trying hard not to show it. She passed a nervous hand through her unruly hair; What?! Then go to jail?!! No way! I want to make you pay!
You are already making me pay dearly my mistress!
He hungrily moving forward, wanting to kiss those trembling lips and shut her up once and for all; he knew that was the only way he could convince her of his sincerity.
A small moan escaped her mouth as their breaths mingled but something made her push hard on his chest; he had hurt her so much, it would not be right for him to think that she was easy pickings.
He felt her resistance and heard the jingle of her bangles at the same time; You wore them to work?
He asked surprised taking both her hands in his and looking at the dozen or so green and red bangles.
Yes, and for only your sake and you didn't even know! She wrenched her hands out of his grasp.
Gosh I'm so sorry! He made to pull her to him again but she managed to dodge his grasp and slid off the bed.
I'm hungry and I bet you are too! At least taste what mama made specially for her damaadji!
She walked away without glancing back, her head held high...
She closed her eyes; Damn him! Why is it so hard for me to resist when he looks at me like that, with those liquid brown magical eyes? No, I can't crumble now, I just can't!
You don't have to heat it!
He protested without much enthusiasm as she popped the food in the microwave one by one.
But I do, can't torture you with the cold stuff darling!
She said, a smile back on her face; it seemed quite genuine.
There you go, bon appetit!
Umm! It's yummy!! Your mother is a genius!
She couldn't help but let a slight smile lift the corners of her mouth, as he ravenously finished his meal, while she barely touched hers. Thank God for wonderful moms she thought.
He looked up smiling to see her absently toying with her fork.
I must say papaji is a really lucky man!!
So you mean to say that you are unlucky!!?
She brandished the fork threateningly in her hand, then all of a sudden threw it down and started to clear the table.
What's wrong with you?
He couldn't handle it anymore.
Well that's the way I am, take it or leave it!
He wasn't willing to let her get away so easily; he grabbed the pallu of her saree as she walked past.
Let me go! Don't think that I will succumb to your tricks!
She tried hard to hold on to the piece of cloth but he was too strong for her.
I will take you just the way you are; and this ain't no trick! You know that as well as I do!
He grunted while he pulled off her saree and backed her against the counter. He watched closely for her reaction as he traced the edges of her mangalsutra with his finger tips and was satisfied to see her shudder and close her eyes. She twisted her face away.
I'm tired of this charade, it has gone on too long!
He grasped her chin and roughly set his mouth on hers, forcing her body back, his fingers bruising the delicate skin of her cheeks as he held on tight, wanting to empty all his pent up feelings into her.
She wanted to give in, surrender to this irresistible man who was her husband; who was making her ride a rollercoaster of emotions which she had never considered herself capable of;...love, agony, longing, jealousy, anger, torment, desire, all culminating in the need to be held tight in his arms, and be close to him every minute of every passing day..BUT..
He let her go suddenly putting a finger to his lip; and saw a tiny smear of blood and looked at her in disbelief, she had bit him!
You think that I can't resist you? Then you are wrong, I can and I will! I am not your puppet.
She smiled, at once coy and triumphant, and walked away taking advantage of his surprise.
He stood in his tracks stunned for several moments; His beautiful, sedate and innocent wife of a bare two months seemed bent on driving him insane! He felt helpless in the face of it, the need to possess her stronger than ever.
He found her standing in the balcony hands on the rail staring out at the sparkling sea. She had changed into one of her old PJs studded with those cartoon characters, trying to making herself look as unattractive as possible; but she didn't know that his state of mind had gone way beyond that. All he could see was her and her alone.
Khanak wasn't sure about what she was doing anymore; she had been just following a reckless impulse. There was a distinct pleasure in making him mad; but this last time she felt that she had crossed a certain unspoken line which had left him frustrated and furious. She was bracing herself for the onslaught she knew was about to come and come it did.
So you think that you can resist me, my incredibly beautiful yet childish and silly wife? I would hate to see you win, and I think you would too.
She shivered with surprised pleasure as his voice caressed her earlobe and he stood behind his body barely touching hers yet close enough so she could feel his heat warming her back.
How long do you think you could stay away from me, a day maybe two at the most, before you came running into my arms screaming to feel alive again? Tell me how long?
Barely in control of his urges, yet trying hard to be gentle, he put one of his hands on the soft silky skin of her stomach gently moving it up seeking her rib cage and the fullness above, while caressing her hip with the other. She moaned invaribly moving back to lean on his chest, her arms coming up to encircle his neck.
He traced the arch of her shoulder with the tip of his tongue, pulling apart the collar of her old shirt causing the buttons to rip.
That's my favorite one;
she giggled.
But not mine, I prefer the barest of the bare minimum. Now answer my question, I won't leave you alone until you do.
He demanded turning her around by force, her answer had suddenly become important to him.
Don't you know already? Can't you feel it? I was at my wits end when I didn't hear your voice even though my parents reasurred me! I couldn't concentrate at work; I think I almost made a fool of myself. I was thinking of all the possible things that could have happened to you, that would take you away from me and and
...she closed her eyes close to tears again.
And?
He asked tenderly drawing her close, smoothing her hair away from her face;
And I HATE you for making me go through all that! She looked at him accusingly, unable to control the tears that flowed unabated down her cheeks.
And I love you to hate me my Queen!
Hate me more! He had heard all that he wanted to hear.
He swooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed. She pulled herself tight to him, kissing his dear face which she had craved to see all day.
In the next several minutes no more words were exchanged. He led and she followed his every move with equal vigor. Their love making transcribing a range of emotions; tenderness and longing blending smoothly with burning passion and desire.
At last as they lay spent, their limbs still intertwined like a couple of friendly vines, she kissed his neck while his chin rested on her head and he gently stroked her smooth back savoring the calm after the high.
Now you know the universal prescription for all my anger and frustration
; she whispered huskily into his throat her fingers spreading onto his muscular hips.
I think I do but can you spell it out for me once my sweets
? He smiled in the dark, eager for her response, her velvet voice stimulating his appetite again.
Just make love to me with refills times infinity!
She sighed her body smoothly curving into his.
How could I ever refuse to carry out my lovely doctor's orders!
He laughed softly before hurrying to do her bidding.
