OS: Coffee, tea or me?
made by Ishaan.. gorgeous, isnt it?
"Ready Damini?" Prithvi asked her.
She nodded. They were heading for an important presentation; something for which Prithvi, Damini and Sameer worked overnight. That was when he noticed both stealing glances at each other and understood the tension between them.
Women make love only to the one who love is expressed and men want to make love to be showed that they are loved. Now how would both the parties know if they are loved by the other?
'Oh god! Why can't big bro be like me? I have expressed my love for Avni at first sight, so that it won't be problem after wedding. Now see I'm going to be a father' he started sketching plans 'Bhabhi can never seduce Mr. Perfectionist and Bhai will never seduce Ms. Silent Beauty' he shook his head.
Next day would be exactly a year since Prithvi and Damini have married. They have been bound not only by the holy matrimony but also the business deal between two extremely influential industrial families. But they were not alone in this boat. It had Sameer and Avni too. Sameer was Prithvi Saxena's younger brother and Avni was Damini Gujral now Saxena's younger sister. But unlike Prithvi and Damini, Sameer and Avni fell in love immediately. Not that Prithvi and Damini quarreled with each other, nor that they both ignore each other or like each other. It's just that they both sincerely follow their duties as husband and wife. Unknown to Prithvi, Damini fell in love with him gradually and hoped to seduce him one day. But Prithvi was impeccable, hence impossible. Communication gap between them didn't let her know how brutally she affects her husband. He loves her a lot but was clearly unsure of her feelings as they don't talk beyond business and family matters.
In the board room, Prithvi gave an excellent present much to the content of the clients. Damini asusual kept on staring at her husband unblinkingly. Dark blue overcoat on pink shirt. He is the one who can make pink look sexy on men. His perfect cleavage was enticing even amidst people in the board room.
"Any questions?" he asked.
It was the break before signing the contract. Prithvi made his way to his cabin while Damini followed him like a pomerian pup. She opened the door behind him. He turned to see her.
"So," he asked taking his coat, "how was the presentation?"
"Hot" the word escaped her mouth.
"What?"
"i..i mean it was quite hot in the board room"
"Really?" he asked strangely.
She nodded.
"what will you have?" she asked trying to put her words and divert her mind, "coffee?" he started unbuttoning shirt, "tea?" he took it off, "or me?" the second word she uttered subconsciously for the day.
-"excuse me?" he asked.
-"Me, I mean milk?" she made up.
-"no, actually the shirts button is broken. I'll change it to another. I have an extra here" saying this he took out a black shirt from the drawer and wore it.
His perfectly chiseled body tempted her to pounce on him like a hungry tigress. But he is the ringmaster. The risk would be too risky.
"Perfect" he complimented himself, dressing up again, prim and proper.
-"whatever!" she rolled her eyes
After the clients had their coffee, tea and snacks, it was the time to put down the terms and conditions and sign if agreed. The deal was successful.
At that evening, Damini freshened up and was in a mood to read the book 'art of seduction' which once she saw with Sameer. She came to know that he hid it in the uppermost shelf in study which was being difficult even after placing two stools one on the other. Yet she tried. The book was just an inch away from het so she jumped a little to get hold of it. She did hold but not without losing the balance. She closed her eyes in fear with her feathery soft hands across her face. She opened them slowing to find Prithvi looking at her in anger.
-"are you mad?" he yelled, "what if you had got hurt? Cant you call me?" he changed, "or a servant?"
He put her down.
-"I was just.. Actually, the book'"
He saw on the floor, the book for which she was making stunts. Damini was embarrassed and Prithvi was dumbstruck. Yet both behaved normally as he picked it and gave it to her. Sameer entered te same time hearing Prithvi's rants. He understood the situation. When Prithvi was about to leave he said,
-"bhaiyya, you can't go like that. Bhabhi's leg has sprained" he said.
-"really?" Damini asked. Sameer signaled her to keep quite.
"Yes, really. My leg.. Ouch'" she acted along.
Prithvi turned back tensed.
-"Damini don't walk, it will further get stressed" he said worriedly.
Then just as Sameer and Damini expected, he picked her in his arms and took her to their room. Sameer followed. He placed her carefully on the bed resting her back the pillow leaned on post.
-"show me the sprain?" he tried her feet softly.
-"Prithvi, no" she stopped with.
-"What happened? Is it paining much?" he felt sorry.
-"if you touch my feet I won't like it" she admitted childishly, "you are my husband so.."
-"shut up Gujral" he told her firmly. That's what he used to call her taunting her family name for some unknown reasons before marriage. Now it has become a memory. She blushed tucking her hair behind her ear.
Sameer sent Prithvi out to get relispray for the sprain.
Then he started the conversation with his bhabhi.
-"this wont work for bhaiyya, bhabhi" he told her affirmatively showing the book.
-"I just wanted to see it, ok" Damini denied.
-"oh yeah you do. That's why you gave into my lie of sprain, isn't it?" he pointed.
She understood its of no use hiding from her street-smart brother-in-law.
-"uh.. hmm.. then?" she finally asked for advice for which Sameer had huge gotcha smile.
-"you don't do anything bhabhi, whatever need to be done, all bhaiyya will do" he said in his over-confidence. "you just watch Sameer Saxenas talent".
Next day, Damini woke up after all the fantasies in her dreams. Prithvi wasn't there in the room. She walked upto the window as she knew he's be at the studfarm. Damini's eyes fluttered seeing him and her heart skipped thousand beats. Or was it still beating? She wondered.
-"bhabhi" Sameer called her from behind. "enough watching, now time for action"
-"sorry but I'm thinking of romance" she told him, they both broke into a laughter.
-"ok now listen you just need to tell me what will bhaiyya now. Coffee or tea?"
-"how will I know Sameer? If work load is more he'll have coffee orelse tea" she told the obvious.
-"just ask and tell me, if he drinks the coffee or tea made by me, then you'll see a 360 turn in bhaiyya's behavior"
-"what are you going to do?" she asked apprehensively.
-"ahan, no questions asked" he told her, "you want bhaiyya right?"
Damini did as Sameer said.
Within few minutes Sameer brought black coffee for him and gave it to Damini. She offered it to him with a smile. He found his wife's behavior very different. Her happiness is unknown to him. But he didn't ask her. They are not even friends, then why should he? He thought.
He drank the coffee. His head started spinning. 'and I thought coffee scares the sleep away' he muttered. Damini was worried at his condition. She made him sit on the couch and asked him to relax.
-"what happened? You ok?" she asked worried.
-"no, I mean I feel heat is taking over me"
-"I think you have got sunstroke, I'll bring you lemonade"
She went downstairs and told Sameer about his condition.
-"what have you done Sameer? He is feeling headache. I'm going to make lemonade for him." With these words she started to go to kitchen.
-"arre bhabhi, this is not normal heat. Lemonade won't cut its effect"
-"what do you mean?" she asked, "Sameer, your brother isn't feeling well, just bark the reason. What do you mean?"
-"I mean this" he said finally showing a bottle to her.
-Damini was shocked."Viagra!" She realized she made a mistake teaming up with Sameer. He is the one who can go to any lengths once decided.
She made sluggish steps towards the room, her forehead was sweating. 'Sameer what have you done?' she cursed him under her breath. As she entered the room like a meek lamb she staggered at his expression that were straight and lost.
-"take this lemonade and these tabs. You'll be fine" she said without looking at him. He nodded and took the glass from, in the process touching her touch. Her eyes grew wide and she escaped in to the wash room.
-"Damini'" he called out but she closed the door. His testosterone levels increased and his passion was erupting like a volcano.
Damini took her sweet time to come out. He peeped out from a half opened door to make sure that he is asleep. Convinced seeing him on bed with closed eyes, she came out. Slowly she adjusted beside him. As she pulled the rug to cover Prithvi's eyes opened in a jerk scaring Damini. He looked at her, looking innocent lam in fear before the starving lion. He caught her hand and pulled her towards him sealing her mouth with a kiss. Damini was shocked but she was loving his roughness and gave into the painful pleasure of his carnal desires.
Next day he was shocked to see bruises and bites on her delicate milky white skin. He felt petty in his own lives and started blaming himself. He felt he behaved like a drunkard and pleaded forgiveness.
-"I'm sorry' I'm sorry Damini. i shouldn't have done all this" he folded his hands making her shocked, "I forced myself on you.."
-"what?" she exclaimed, "are you crazy? You didn't"
-"yes I did. I always end up hurting you. First the contract marriage and now this. I'm a pervert who didn't care that my wife doesn't love me" he cried like a child.
Damini shook her head. She clearly didn't expect this reaction from him.
"I'm sorry.. if you want you want to file a complaint on me, go ahead. I deserve it" he said looking down.
-she put her hand on her hips and said, "Over?" he looked at her blankly, "or is there anything else to say?" she asked him not to feel guilty like a sinner and it wasn't exactly his mistake. But Sameer's who mixed Viagra in his drink.
Prithvi looked at Damini's scars and rushed down the stairs yelling at Sameer.
-"Prithvi stop.." she ran behind him
He saw Sameer on the couch who stood up like an antenna seeing his big brother. Prithvi slapped hard across his face and asked him to get out of the house.
-"why did you do it Sameer? Now you are a grown up and going to be a father. Is this how you behave? Like an immature adolescent? Just get out of my sight"
-"Prithvi please he did all this to help me.." she defended.
-"because of him I fell in my own eyes. Why did he do that?"
-"because I love you" she confessed.
Prithvi was shocked.
-"what?"
-"yes, I love you. I love you a lot. I was just feeling nervous to tell you" she confessed. "because I was not sure if you too'"
-"I love you too" he completed in his ever husky voice.
A wide smiled escaped their lips. He kept on looking at her while she bowed her head acutely feeling shy. He advanced few steps towards her, Sameer was happy that now he is acquitted by the court of his brother since his attention is diverted to his novel confession. Prithvi and Damini felt magical all around. He moved the strands of her hair from her face and held her chin to look up.
-He hugged her completely forgetting Sameer who escaped from the spot and whispered into her ears, "Happy anniversary".
-She hugged him tighter like never letting him go and said, "exactly after a year!" she said chuckling how the entire year was spent in asking coffee, tea or me and unexpectedly the confession took on their wedding date.
-"yeah right Gujral" he said secretly thanking Sameer now.
-"it's not Gujral.." she said looking at him seductively, "it's Saxena"
-"really?" he asked contented. She nodded as he held her cheek and sucked her lips fervently.
