OS:Black temptation

"Hot? Wo gadha Virat use hot bula raha tha? Kyun, wo kya koi garam aloo tikki hai jo Chep us Maya ko baar baar ghoor raha tha?!" Manvi grumbled as she barged into her room from the party downstairs. She fell on the bed in anger and vented out her frustration at the poor pillow "Us Maya ko maine Virat se maafi kya dilaa diya, ye Chep to mujhe bhool hi gaya! Ex-girlfriend ke liye koi current girlfriend ko ignore karega kya?! 'Oh hi! Maya that dress is gorgeous! So hot!' " she mimicked Virat and hit out at the already punched up pillow.

It was Virat's birthday and the high and mighty Vadheras had for once allowed him to celebrate his day in his style. Of course, Buaji and Dadaji had left out of town in the morning and Vanshika aunty had gone over to her mother's place for some time, Viren and Jeevika accompanying her too. So, Virat had returned to his khula saand avtaar and was having a bash at home. It was just him and Manvi at home till the next day evening when his mom would come back.Manvi had been very excited in the beginning and had planned out everything according to Virat's taste. She had never known that she could fall in love so hard but was enjoying it nevertheless. She knew that he had many foreign friends and also that they would come for the party. So, she had controlled her urge to throw a chaat party and had let Virat get his way with a disco theme party. Virat had suggested her to wear a modern dress he had bought for her earlier and Manvi had worn it happily, thanking her stars that it wasn't exposing ,as she had dreaded him to choose.

The party had gone great till one specific guest had entered. Maya had understood that Manvi was perfect for Virat and chosen to offer friendship instead of pursuing hopeless love to Virat. That had made her and Manvi frenemies in a way and Manvi hadnt objected to inviting Maya to the party. But when she saw her enter, her opinions changed. Maya was wearing a lowneck , ultra short skimpy dress with just a crisscross of wire like formations in the back. Manvi calmed herself thinking that her Virat would never fall for that and just then she heard him "Maya! Hi! So glad you could make it! And wow, that dress is gorgeous! So hot man! Aaj pata nahi kitne ladke ghayal hone waale hain" Virat teased Maya in a casual banter and Maya laughed, seeing him as a friend whom she could trust on. Manvi felt her blood boil so much that she thought people could see fumes coming out of her ears. She called Virat aside and tried talking calmly "Virat, tum doosri ladkiyon par itna comment na karo to achcha hoga hai na? Log tumhaari party enjoy karne aaye hain, khud gift ban kar thodi na aaye hain?" she asked with a fake sweetness but her eyes were giving her away. Virat simply shrugged and went to talk to another friend, where coincidentally Maya also was standing. Manvi felt like wringing both their necks and started imagining them as helpless chickens whom she was going to murder.

After a lot of dancing and merriment their guests started leaving and Maya too left. Manvi had not enjoyed a single moment after Virat's friendly behaviour to Maya and was glad to see her go finally. But just as she was leaving Maya turned towards Virat and whispered something in his ear, making him smile and then they did something which made Manvi's mouth hang open. They HUGGED! Maya left , not noticing the reddened face of Manvi who stomped away from the empty hall to her bedroom. She did not even bother to tell Virat anything and was fuming over what had happened.

Lying on the bed, Manvi's eyes suddenly fell on her slightly open wardrobe and an idea struck her. "You want hot? I'll teach you a new definition of hotness Virat Singh Vadhera!" she said to herself as she took out the saree she had bought for her Di earlier as a honeymoon present. Her Di's honeymoon was over but the saree had remained with Manvi. And it was time to use it for herself.

Virat was searching for Manvi everywhere near the hall. "Ye ladki kahan gayi? Sab log chale gaye hain, maine socha ki ab hum dono bhi thoda celebrate karenge. Manvi style mein. Par iska to koi pata hi nahi!" he wondered to himself and went towards her room at last, thinking about how he would pull her leg today. "Oye Bandariya! Kya tum chup kar baithi…" he stopped mid way when he opened the door as he saw the world's most beautiful sight in front of him. No, scratch that. Most tempting would be right. Clad in a black chiffon saree, which was partially transparent, and a totally backless blouse , Manvi was sitting on her bed, eating an apple. Virat couldn't take his eyes off her and saw more closely. Her hair was left free and she wasn't wearing any jewellery giving her a more seductive appearance. To add to that , the apple eating wasn't helping him as his eyes kept darting towards her mouth and his brain started thinking about other means to keep those lips busy. "Want a bite?" she asked in such a low and husky voice that Virat had to blink twice to confirm if it was Manvi or not. What was she doing?!

Manvi could hear her heart beat thousand times faster as she saw the glint in his eyes growing stronger with each passing second. Ok, so her plan was working for real huh? She had meticulously planned everything and got up for her second move. "Hey Bhagwan! Ye heels daalne se behtar log sticks pe kyun nahi chalte!" she thought to herself as she tried to balance herself with the saree and at the same time maintain a seductive look on her face. She was almost near him when her old friend, Mr.Bad luck returned and she fell.

Virat knew that something was wrong but couldn't think straight with Manvi giving him weird looks. She looked like she was trying a seductive style but Manvi being Manvi was doing it way over the top with dramatic wagging of her eyebrows and an extra pout which made her face look like a puppy with anaemia or high depression. Just as she came near him his luck turned for better and his old Manvi came back. He saw her fall awkwardly and immediately held her , both arms holding her waist. "O teri yaar! Ye kameene heels, kuch der aur wait karke nahi gira sakte the kya? Step 2 almost poora ho raha tha!" Manvi muttered frustratedly to herself and suddenly noticed the position she was in and saw Virat frowning quizzically at her. Virat saw an immediate change in her expression but did not miss the words she had told. "Step 2? Kis ka step 2? Aur tum aise dress pehen ke yahan kya kar rahi ho? Manvi, whats going on?" he asked making her stand properly again but not leaving her arms. Manvi thought of covering up but knew that it was of no use now. Virat always managed to understand when she was lying and there was no point in continuing the act anymore.

She pulled herself out of his grasp and went back to the bed, sitting on it with a sad face. Virat knew that something she had planned had backfired but didn't know what the plan was. So, he went and sat beside her. "Main wo nahi hoon Virat.' she said after a minute of silence. Virat looked puzzled at her and raised an eyebrow making Manvi continue "Maine dekha tha aaj. Tum Maya se kaise baat kar rahe the. Mujhe tumhaare uske saath baat karne se koi problem nahi hai, don't get me wrong! Par mujhe dikha jab tum use …use hot bula rahe the. Aur jab wo jaa rahi thi tab tumne use hug bhi kiya. Wo kitni modern aur hot hai na? Main uske jaisi kabhi bhi nahi ho sakti Virat. Par phir bhi main tumse pyar karti hoon. Kya karun, mera dil thoda pagal hai na?" she said in a sad voice, not meeting Virat's eyes.

Virat felt shocked . So that is what had happened? Manvi had got jealous of Maya? Virat could have teased Manvi on this but when he saw a tear drop from her eyes he felt broken "Oye dedhfutiya" he said softly and cupped her face to make her look at him "tum is wajah se dukhi ho? Arey jaan, Maya jaisi bhi hai wo tumhaare jaisi kabhi nahi ho sakti. Meri zindagi aur dil par sirf tumhaara naam aur tumhaare liye jagah hai. Maine to Maya ko sirf ek dost ke tareeke se compliment diya. Aur woh hug? Maya ne mujhse kaha ki usne aaj tak tumhaari jaisi sweet ladki nahi dekhi hai. Usne mujhe tumhe sambhal ke apne paas rakhne ko kaha tha. Aur wo kal wapas London jaa rahi hai. Isi liye usne mujhe goodbye hug diya tha. Tum bhi na!" he said and wiped her tears. Manvi felt her heart glow again and hugged Virat.

After the hug, Virat pointed towards Manvi's saree and getup "Achcha ye bataao, ki tum ye saree, make-up sab laga kar karne kya waali thi? Aur tum kis Step 2 ki baat kar rahi thi?" he asked as he tucked a stray hair strand behind her ear. Manvi gave a sheepish smile " Main na actually..wo..tumhe seduce karne ki koshish kar rahi thi." she ended quickly and closed her eyes shut to avoid seeing him laugh. But Virat didn't laugh and instead got mischievous and kissed her hand "Aur wo step 2?" he asked slyly. Mani opened her eyes as she felt Virat's lips near her shoulder "Wo kya hain na, mujhe seduce toh karna nahi aata na? Is liye maine Google mein search kiya aur kuch steps pad liye the." she said making Virat stop his butterfly like kisses near her eyes. Both of them remained silent for a minute and Virat broke out laughing making Manvi join him. "Meri Bandariya! Mere liye tumne itna kuch socha?! Chalo koi baat nahi. Tumhe seduce karne ki koi zaroorat bhi nahi hai. Kyunki main toh tumhe dekh ke hi fida ho gaya. Ab return gift mein main tumhe kuch extra tips sikhaata hun …seduction ka!" he said and pushed her onto the bed. After that none of them spoke for a while, the only sounds coming of their mingled breaths and joined heartbeat.
