** YUKTA [YUVRAJ MUKTA ]AT # 4 ** - Page 38

"Lust tastes like tequila, love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer, warms you up on the inside and sometimes makes you do stupid things. Tequila just makes you wasted. You get wasted on lust and warmed on love.

"There is lust and then there is love. They are related, but still very different things. To indulge in one requires little but honeyed speech and a change of clothes; to obtain the other, by contrast, a man must give up his rib. In return, his woman will undo the sins and bring him back into Paradise.

.

It was 10 pm in the night, mukta was totally exhausted and she wanted to take rest. But since there was only one bed in the room she was reluctant to lie down.

[mukta hears knock on the door, she opens the door and finds amla standing wid glasses of milk}

Amla: I know u have not eaten anything since you have come here, at least drink this haldi milk you will feel better. Pahlease don't say no.

Mukta nods yes and takes tray from her.

Mukta: but one glass will be enough, y u brought two? One glass itself is too much!!

Amla: the other glass is for lalu, wen u sent food back from the room wid out even touching it , his dad taunted him badly and he got up from the table wid out eating anything. God knows where he went , still have not come back. Poor guy, he was the one who had reminded kaska to send you food, and before going he told me to give you milk. Saarry I was busy doing work in the kitchen so I was late to bring milk for you.Can I say sumthing, I could not be ideal mother to yuvi and but I know my lalu is not bad at heart. He is caring guy , but since his childhood he never got true motherly love, which has made him so irritable. He can't control his anger..and iduring feat of rage he does not know what he is doing.Please take care of him, I will be going back to my village after few days. Thanks to your mom I have realized my mistakes, as soon as veer will get his memory back I will go. Your mom has already changed the medicine which mai used to give veer to weaken his memory. Don't tell this to anyone ok. I m going now, otherwise mai will be angry if she sees me wid you.

Amla leaves from the room. Mukta keeps tray on the study table wid out drinking the milk. She sits on the chair resting her head on the table and she falls asleep in few minutes.

Yuvi's room at 12:30 am

Mukta woke up wid jolt due sudden opening of door wid thud, she was horrified to see yuvi who had come drunk .she could see same anger, same madness, same passion in his eyes like he had that day..

Flashback of hotel scene

Yuvi: no mukta you can't leave this room wid out my permission. Enough of this games, stop pretending now. I know you like me too...(yuvi holds her waist by both the hands and pulls mukta close to his chest. A Wave of fear passes through mukta's body as yuvi stares her intensely. She tries free herself by punching him wid her both hand all over his chest, but evil smirk on yuvi's face makes her realize that she is about to lose . yuvi pulls her further close to him and bends over her neck to whisper in her ear) .From tonight, mukta rathore will permanently reside in my arms, welcome to your new home mukta... I shall never let you go anywhere else because you are mine.. Just mine .

End of flashback

Mukta trembled as memory of that incident flashed in her mind. His husky voice was still ringing in her ears. Yuvi is continuously gazing her from top to down while walking towards her like giant zombie.

Mukta: yuvi ..i had made this clear to you that this is just contract marriage , so you don't dare to take any advantage of this situation. or else I will scream yuvi and gather whole family members over here..[she moves back as he walks close but wall prevents her going back further. Mukta closes her eye and turns her face away as yuvi comes more close to her. The smell of alcohol is making her feel dizzy.] yuvi what is your problem??

Yuvi : my problem is you.. you miss mukta . oh I m sorry Mrs. yuvraj bundela. What are you trying to achieve by not having food? are you trying to show that I m harassing you ? you want my family to hate me more? So that you have all their sympathy? Mukku nukku ..please stop the games now atleast, I have already lost everything my family my friends my happiness my lov..[he stops]. Each n every person whom I care , whom I love, hates me. So please, for god sake don't increase my pain. I m not asking you to show that you are very much happy, but try to live a normal life wid me till we are husband and wife! Why your taking my revenge on that glass of milk, choti ma has prepared it for you . She was worried because you did not eat anything, so if you drink it my family will not forgive me. Don't worry thet are still wid you.

Mukta is thinking " yuvi is like a puzzle to me. Whatever he says , whatever he does he will never show his true intentions behind it. He is the one who I fought wid since childhood, he is the only boy who was my best friend once upon time, he is the one who cared for me and protected me pampered me once upon time, he is the one who always put me into trouble. I can't understand him''

Yuvi: now why you're staring at me like kitten. Drink this milk. [.he roared order to mukta, she takes glass of milk from his hand and takes sip of it. She suddenly remembers that yuvi also had not eaten his dinner.]

Mukta : you are not having milk?

Yuvi: why ? are you scared that I have mixed poison in it. [he snatches glass from her hands, and drinks half of the milk. And then brings that same glass near her mouth] it's safe , you can have it.

Mukta : no i mean ..

Yuvi: stop this nautanki and quietly drink it. Otherwise I know other methods to get what I want. If you're not going to drink than I have to feed you forcibly. And my way of feeding is different from others you know ..[he says biting his lower lips in mischievously] . trust me once i will start kissing , you will not have time to even scream.

Mukta knew if she says no than she will invite trouble for herself, so she drinks it quietly.

Yuvi: good girl now you can sleep on the right side of the bed and I will take left, because mukta rathore, I m sorry once again..Because mukta bundela is always right.

Yuvi goes near the bed and jumps over it . Alcohol effect makes him fall asleep immediately. mukta covers him wid blanket and goes back to chair to sleep.

Morning 7am , yuvi's room

yuvi wakes up due to sunrays falling over his face, and mukta is sleeping snuggling her body on the chair . Yuvi then goes near her wid blanket , and covers her to protect from cold . yuvi is thinking

'' she is so beautiful, her simplicity ,her innocence, her cute smile, her big sparkling eyes , each and everything about her is so mesmerizing. But me, the yuvraj bundela never wanted to confess this, so I loved teasing her behanji types. You can lie to everyone but not yourself yuvi.'' He was lost in her beauty; his eyes were fixed on her rosy luscious lips. He was getting tempted to kiss them, conquer those untouched territory of hers. But mukta's sleep is broken unfortunately at same time due to knock on the door. Yuvi pretends that he had just come open the door , whereas mukta is surprised to see herself covered in blanket. Yuvi signals her to go to the bed and then he opens the door. A female Servant is standing wid tray which contains tea and the breakfast, she keeps on table and goes.

Yuvi: listen I will go out , than you can take bath and change. I will come after 30 mins. He walks away to go out but mukta calls him back

Mukta: listen , please take permission from mai . we have to go meet badepapa today.

Yuvi: ok.

..and he goes out, mukta is thinking how to face her family. But she has to face them , her bade papa, bade ma,iccha ma , kanha bhai n meethi. God knows how meethi will react to this news.
