Affairs of the heart Chapter 18 - The shower
My eyes opened with sunlight streaming through the window. We were still naked in the sheets. I could feel his body pressing into mine his breath moving rhythmically.I carefully untangled myself from him. He protested in his sleep but then nestled his head in the pillow. I tiptoed towards his closet and pulled out a shirt. I put it on. It smelled like him.He was tall, much taller than me so his shirt reached my mid-thigh. I found a brand new toothbrush in the bathroom and freshened up.We had skipped dinner last night so I was starving. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. There were some, bread, eggs, milk, and some packed food."He needs some groceries," I said to myself.I took out some eggs and bread and thought of making scrambled eggs.I was so engrossed in the preparations, I didnt notice Ishaan creeping up behind me.He caught my waist hugging me from behind and kissed my neck. I could feel his morning stubble scraping my chin."What are you doing?" He said."Maki

"What! But you stayed over at his place just yesterday? What happened? " I asked Swati."Things were not going well since Goa. He was becoming a control freak. I couldn't stand the nagging. So I just asked him to sod off!" Swati replied. She was strong, stronger than me."I am sorry Swati. What should I do to make you feel better? Do you want to go out somewhere?" I asked."Nah! I am fine. Good riddance from that jerk. I am more interested in your story. Did you do it?" She winked at me.I nodded."Yesss! I knew it. You wouldn't last long. So how was it?""Amazing! Like the best one ever!" Not I had enough experience to compare but no harm in saying so."I can see that, you haven't stopped blushing since you have returned. And how are other things?""I visited his office, met his partners. You know his dad appears on the cover of business magazines!" "Wow! He must be loaded. so where does he stay? Is it a big house?""You can't even imagine. Its a 5 bedroom penthouse!!""This guy's a
Affairs of the heart Chapter 20 - a short separation
"Why?" Ishaan asked."I can't" I replied."You don't trust me?" "It's not that. First of all my parents would be outraged. Let's say I manage to convince them and get their approval. My mom would be constantly nagging us to get wedded as soon as possible. I haven't even considered how your parents would react. It would be a total mess.""Who cares! It's our life Aarya.""I care Ishaan and you should as well. You will realize soon what your family means to you."I didn't know then that my words were prophetic. "Hmmm, so I have to continue suffering like this." He said morosely.I looped my arm around his neck and spoke in his ears " who said so? Whenever we are together we'll make the most of it."He turned a bit to face me."Aarya you drive me crazy do you know that?" "Hmmm and what else do I make you feel?"He turned towards me facing the bonnet and pulled me down so that my body slid into his waiting arms. I wrapped my jeans-clad leg around his waist. Still sitting on the car bonn
Affairs of the heart Chapter 21 - First Valentine's Day
I couldn't wait for the plane to land as it hovered over Pune. Ishaan was supposed to receive me at the airport.I ran towards the exit as soon an I had collected my luggage,I looked around and spotted him waving at me. He had a broad smile on his and he was with a girl!She looked familiar though. I slowed my pace and walked towards him trying to figure out her identity.It suddenly struck me. She was Saanchi his sister. My heart was already fluttering, now it was hammering at a breakneck speed.He never told me his sister would also be visiting. Saanchi was beautiful.Both brother and sister had inherited their good looks from their parents. She was tall with a model figure.He has told me they were twins so she would be 25 years old. She was carrying a Chanel bag and I could tell her jeans was Armani. I was sure the rest of her clothes and accessories would be high-end brands as well.She gave me a polite smile as I approached them."Hey!" He took me a hug.I wanted to kiss him but
Affairs of the heart Chapter 22 - Beginning of the end
Things were going on smoothly again. Though the frequency of Ishaan's Mumbai visits had increased. Sometimes he used to disappear for the weeks then pop in again. He said he was extremely busy in handling businesses. I believed him.Months passed. It was October. Almost 1 year since we had been together. It was my Birthday, and we were celebrating in a club. Ishaan had arranged everything.The party was in full swing. I was sitting on the couch with Swati. Taking a break unconsciously touching the diamond bracelet which Ishaan had gifted me. It matched my diamond pendant which was always around my neck. My eyes automatically glanced in his direction. He was engaged in an intense discussion with other guys.As if on cue he turned to look at me and winked. I blushed and smiled back. He had been hovering around me like a month since he laid eyes on me this evening.For the party, I had worn a silver dress which was simple from the front but had a daring low cut back.His eyes had popped

"Have you heard back from Ishaan?" Swati asked as I took a sip of apple juice.It had been a month since he had left for Mumbai. His father was critical but now he was better and recuperating.Ishaan's calls had reduced and he used to be curt whenever we spoke or chatted. I assumed it was due to work pressure."He called me 3 days back. He is under a lot of pressure. His dad is unable to work and Ishaan has to manage everything on his own. This juice tastes disgusting! " I said."Tastes fine to me," Swati said finishing up her glass of juice.I walked into the kitchen and emptied my glass into the sink.I missed Ishaan terribly but I tried to keep myself busy in my work. "I am feeling tired Swati. I am going to bed." I said."What's wrong with you? You hardly eat anything and you are always tired." Swati said."I don't know maybe some vitamin deficiency," I replied."Visit a doctor," she said.I nodded."Are you going home for the new year?" She called as I left the living room"I hav
Affairs of the heart Chapter 24 - End and a beginning
When my eyes opened I was looking up at an unfamiliar ceiling. My head was still hurting.I turned sideways to see Swati dozing off on a chair. I realized I was in a hospital.I tried sitting up which woke Swati. She rushed to me."Aarya! Wait" she supported."Keep laying down. You are still very weak.""What happened Swati?" I asked.She looked disturbed."You fainted Aarya. Thank God you are fine now." "How long was I knocked out. Did you inform my parents?""Shhhh, don't worry. You fainted just this morning. Your parents don't know anything yet.""What happened to me Swati?" I asked.She bit her lips "I will tell you everything. Just relax. Let me call the doctor. Ok?" She left while I recalled the series of events. I remembered seeing Ishaan's engagement picture and a fresh spate of tears welled in my eyes."Glad to see you are awake" a pretty doctor walked in followed by Swati."Hi, I am a doctor Smita. I am your gynaecologist."I looked puzzled at her then Swati.Swati interrup

5 years later -Ishaan Shekhawat closed his laptop and leaned back in his chair. His eyes closed.The reports were again missing. He was fed up with his incompetent staff. He was seated in his swanky New York Office Manhattan skyline stretched beneath him.He had everything. A fortune 500 dollars company, Power, prestige.......everything but Happiness.All he had in his heart was suffocation. To quench that suffocation he used to work harder. He impatiently called his PA.A rather wiry looking man came in trembling "Y. Yes Sir""Where is the MOM of yesterday's meeting??"He stammered " It must be here somewhere".Ishaan narrowed his eyes "what do you mean somewhere?""Sorry. Sir I. I will get it now.""Why wasn't it here in the first place?""I forgot Sir. It was a mistake.""You know I hate mistakes. One mistake can destroy everything. I have no sympathy or place for people who make mistakes. you are fired.""But Sir.""Leave now."The PA scuttled out disappointed. His 5th PA in a ro
