Saraswatichandra FF: Sparks of love.

Sparks of Love

Part 4:

He carried her into the hut, and gently placed her on the stack of hay. He was about to straighten himself, but Kumud's hair got entangled with the button of his shirt. He tried setting himself free, but Kumud turned to her right side while sleeping, and due to the force, Saras fell over her. This woke up Kumud. But she wasn't able to think straight seeing herself in such a position with Saras. They both got lost in each others eyes, and their faces were just inches apart. The distance between them was decreasing, time seemed to slow down. Their lips were about to touch, when they suddenly heard an animal screech. Kumud got scared and hugged Saras tightly. Saras wanted to hug her back, but was unable to.

Realizing what she was doing, Kumud let him in an instant, and looked away. Even he got up and straightened his shirt, and looked around. Both were feeling very awkward.

Kumud: Thank you for saving my life. If you wouldn't have come on the right time, god knows what would have happened.

Saras : I will never let anything to you. (He said this with a straight face)

Kumud: (blushing) But how did you know that I was in trouble, and how did you reach there? I mean, I left to get the mud alone.

Saras: I know, but I anyways decided to follow you. I wanted to help you. Thank god I came there, or else I would have never been able to face myself.

Awkward silence again filled the room.

Kumud: And how do you plan on getting out of this jungle?

Saras: I don't know. I tried my best, but got no where. So let's rest here for some time and we'll leave at dawn.

Kumud: hmm, okay.

She then noticed his head. "Saras, your head is bleeding!" She exclaimed and rushed to him. Tears filled her eyes when she saw him hurt. She decided to tear a piece of cloth from her dupatta, but realized that she didn't have it. The goons had pulled it from her. She now felt very conscious. She felt uncomfortable, but did not show it to Saras. She now developed trust for him. She then tore the lower portion of her skirt, and tied it on Saras's head. He flinched in pain. Seeing this, she softly blew on his face. They shared an eyelock, soon after this.
