Standing against one of the walls of the VIP elevator, wearing dark blue skinny jeans with a white jacket, Shanaya adjusted her long, wispy layered honey coloured hair with her index finger.
She was so sleepy, all she wanted was to close her eyes and not to open them till eternity.Well, eternity not as in going to heaven and meet GOD so early."And why do you think you will go to heaven? You can go to hell too." spoke her mind and, she made her face.She was in the midst of the process of ignoring her mind for some time now.But, yes, all she wanted was to go straight to her home, get tucked inside the warm blanket, get cosy alone in it and go to sleep.That too, when she had come just five minutes before from her apartment!The reason for her condition was simple. She had not been able to sleep the entire night because like usual, she was busy thinking all the worst scenarios.Being an overthinker was not an"Yes, ofcourse" seated on the chair of "Paradise" hotel, one of the top five-star hotel in Delhi, beside Rohit Khanna, his companies' new client, Vihaan spoke.The chilled December was making a home in everyone's life, affecting their lifestyle and their dressing sense.Affected by it, Vihaan too was wearing a black suit with a long grey coat and black shoes. Meanwhile, Rohit was wearing a blue winter suit with brown shoes.But, his eyes were not on, Rohit, somewhat they were fixed far away from where he was seated, on a lovely, beautiful girl.Vihaan had no idea what he was listening, or speaking, for he was burning in jealousy, for, the same girl wearing dark blue jeans with white turtle neck sweater, grey charcoal long coat and black ankle-length heel boots was none other than Shanaya Malhotra.His mind spoke in disbelief when he noticed her lips, her always natural red lips painted wit
Rohit looked at Vihaan with playfulness in his eyes and spoke teasingly" Well, you agreed to it when I asked you earlier."Okay, the time to come clean had come and, having no other option, Vihaan shrugged his shoulder while speaking" Fine, but, never ever say they look good together! Just look at that man!"Looking at the man Shanaya was seated with, Rohit spoke casually" What about the man? I find him attractive.""Seriously!" looking at Rohit in disbelief, Vihaan complained," He is not tall."Rohit could not believe it, for the man was as tall as 6 feet. Shaking his neck, he pretended to be in favour of the man and spoke " Shanaya would find him tall enough and, it's her opinion that would matter, isn't it?"Before anyone could speak more, they saw Vansh in a black shirt and grey suit with white formal shoes.Vansh sat down opposite them and, questioned while looking
Shanaya was tired.Keeping the bag on the assigned place, she moved inside the bathroom on reaching her room and, freshen herself.Changing the dress in fur red pyjama and grey hoodie, she finally sat down with a mug of hot chocolates in her hands.Sitting there in silence, she could hear Kriti talking sweetly with her daughter and, a smile appeared in her face.Kriti's daughter was such a cutie. She had her winter vacations and had come to live with them.Almost in no time, they have bonded and, Shanaya had started spending time with her.She had just adjusted her bed when a knock came on her door, and a second later, a girl dressed in pyjama and puffer jacket with her long hair in a braid come rushing to her."Where were you, aunt?" Shanaya heard the girl.Back hugging her after making her sit in the quilt along with her, Shanaya a
"What the fuck!"Shanyaa could not control the words from slipping the moment she read the message by Vihaan.She was sitting in the cafeteria in Hauz Khas, one of the famous spot in Delhi with her 'date'. She still had no idea why she had accepted the offer of meeting again, but, she was quite enjoying it, unlike the last time.Her mind was full of her date talks and, she realized the man was nice and kind of a person who would be a good husband.The same thing she wanted at the moment."Everything okay?" she heard the man enquiring and, Shanaya lifted her eyes from her phone."What a great way of impressing, Shana!" mimicked her mind."Oh, I am sorry for cursing!" apologizing immediately, she further explained, "I just received something unexpected."The man or her date laughed a little and spoke" It's okay. Cursing makes you stres
Parking her red Audi A4 on its spot, Shana did not come out, immediately.She remained seated inside even when she saw Vihaan's Black Porsche Panamera parked just a little away from her.She did not take big breaths to calm herself or tried to control her anger, anyways. She was beyond control and, she was not going to do it, not when Vihaan was the one she was going to meet.Thinking about the last messages, again and again, she recalled, out of nowhere, her last face to face conversation with Vihaan.It was not some healthy conversation. It was arguments on the day Vihaan had told everyone about them and, she had slapped him.Shanaya closed her eyes when she remembered slapping Vihaan and, deep down, she felt bad, but she too knows he deserved it.She recalled how Vihaan had stared at her with anger and something she could not decipher at that moment.
Shanaya could only look at the handsome Vihaan standing at the corner of her kitchen.Her cheeks red while her mind realised the meaning behind his words.They were normal yet the way he spoke hint her at the intensity of the words.Looking at the flushed Shanaya, Vihaan could not avert his eyes. All he wanted was to keep looking at her, her flushed cheeks, her medium-sized eyes, her brown hair he wanted to stroke for hours. It was not he was not interested in her body, hell he wanted to have her all the time but he did not want to disrespect her, not at that time.Not when the situation was grave.Shanaya waited for him to show he was kidding and did not mean it but when he did not chuckle and kept looking at it, she took a long breath.She was not going to let him affect her."Fine..." Speaking in a hush to stop her from leaving, with his hands suspe
Mrs Rathores could not believe what they heard.Sitting in the Hall on the freezing night of the December, looking at Vansh and Avni, they exchange shocking looks with each other and turned their attention back to them.Mrs Shakti hands were occupied with the sweater she was knitting for Anubhav but they were no longer making any progress.She was too shocked to function.Seated beside her, Mrs Chaya put the fashion magazine she was reading on the table fastly yet with grace.Clearing her right ear with her finger, she spoke with confusion and surprise masking her face" Sorry...What did you say?"It was not like she did not hear it correct for the first time, just like Mrs Shakti Rathore who remained frozen as if she had heard the most unexpected thing.Understanding her hidden gesture behind her expressions, Avni and vansh glanced at each other, decip
"Dinner is ready"To Shanaya, it was "God exists".Rushing toward the dining table in the hall as if she was dying of hunger, Shanaya did not look at anyone on reaching the hall.She was surely dying of embarrassment, if not from the hunger.Trying her best to ignore Vihaan who was sitting opposite to her on the dining table, she kept her gaze fixed on the food in front of her.She did not need to look at Vihaan to know where he was seated, for she could feel his presence.But she very much wanted it. She wanted to see what he was wearing, how he was looking.But more than that, she just wanted to see his face, as if, looking at it will make her feel good or at rest.Seated not far away from both of them, grandma was looking at both of them with great interest. The smile on her face was amusing as if looking at them playing hide and
Lying on their bed, she watched him, removing the tie, and unbuttoning his shirt, and then suddenly he stopped.The action did not go unnoticed, and immediately, Shana looked at him.And found him looking at her."Always Look at me," he demanded as soon as their eyes met."I am already looking at only you," Shana replied emphasising on 'you', and her eyes reached to his manhood again.Shana took a long breath as soon as his hands touched his belt.All the curiosity, anxiety, and excitement made their way, and she could feel the sweating make the way.She had touched and had felt him, but now she was going to see it.As if he could sense, he spoke," Are you sure?" Even though his heart was praying, " Please don't say 'No'"."Are you going to torture me in slow motion, " Shana was restless now."Ha
"What?" Vihaan almost stammered.And he broke the kiss, not because he wanted to, though. He looked at her, shock written all over his face.Did he just hear Shana correctly?Shana hesitated. Was Vihaan not ready anymore for her?But the kiss did not seem like it. It had the same passion."Nothing," and she blurts out with disappointment, lacing her voice."Shana...please repeat what you said?" Vihaan just wanted to hear her say once more.He had wanted to hear it for such a long time that he was not sure he was even hearing it.Lifting her chin, making her eyes meet his, Vihaan spoke again," Please, just once."His pleading but love-loaded eyes and his thumping heart answered the one Shana was searching for, and she whispered the magic words again," Love me, Vihaan."Tick tick tick
Ascending the stairs, Shana knew it was a turning night in her life.Vihaan had never left a party like it ever.And she was confused.No way, Vihaan had left the party simply because saaransh had danced with her.And the voice of Vihaan rang in her mind, " One touch of another man on your skin and trust me, you will never forget this night.""He was not serious about it." speaking to herself, she tried calming herself.She was so engrossed she hardly heard Vansh's footsteps beside her."Good night, beautifool" Stopping at the first floor, Vansh looked at her.Shana smiled tight lips, her eyes on the second floor, her heart beating fast, in excitement and desire.Waving goodbye to Vansh, she hurriedly ascended the stairs and halted in front of the door to their bedroom.Calming her running heart,
Everything was going well. Since the arrival of Vihaan, Shana could hardly feel any gaze. And the party was going great. As it was for only closed ones, it hardly had thirty to forty people. The food, the music, the aura, everything was perfect. "I think it will be a girl" Sipping the soft drink, Shana spoke, her eyes filled with love looking at Avni's belly. She was standing in the middle of the party hall with Vansh, Avni and Anubhav. "I think it would be a boy" Vansh spoke next. "Come on! I can tell you it will be a girl" Caressing her belly, Avni glared at Vansh. "Ofcourse, even I want a girl" Joining Avni, Anubhav continued" Imagine having a little image of you. That would be so beautiful" and he was dreamy now. Shana was enjoying t
Shana was sitting in front of the dressing table, her pinkish-round face glowing.Not with any makeup, but with shyness, excitement and nervousness.Her greenish silk saree with a backless blouse and the emerald necklace adoring her petite and creamy neck were not making her less prettier.And she realised people saying green is her colour were not liars.She was glad to choose green, for she wanted to look pretty. The feminine in her was urging her to look beautiful, for herself and for Vihaan.She knew something had changed, maybe not just something but everything.She now wanted to wear gorgeous sarees and dresses and wanted to look mesmerizing every time.And her expectations of herself were so much, she could not even decide which lipstick to apply.Her heart as usual wanted red, but her eyes and mind were urging her to go to pink.And vihaan lying on the bed, his hands supporting his head was not helpful at all.Instead, like always he was increasing her heartbeats and regrets.
Shana might not have forgiven him, but she would answer him ,whenever he would ask her anything.But that was it.Days passed and it was one fine day.Avni and anubhav have visited them and all except Vihaan were sitting in the lobby, enjoying the sunset and cool Breeze while enjoying the coffee.Vihaan was as usual in his office, he had some important meetings with the international client.But he had promised Avni he would be with them as soon as the meeting will be over.Sipping the coffee while gossiping , Avni spoke up, gaining everyone's attention on her"I have something to share with you."And she had everyone's attention.She looked nervously at everyone and then her gaze halted at Anubhav who was sitting beside her on the sofa.Out of her habit, Shana was noticing her body language and she noticed Avni's p
Two days passed and it was already Sunday.Neither Shana nor Vihaan had any plans, but the rest of the Rathores had already departed to one of their relatives.Since it was one of her favourites, Shana took her time to wake up.She had no obligation to wake up early and to rush to the office.She had inner plans though.She wanted to wake up late, have a bath, have brunch and then she wanted to dedicate her time to writing.It was killing her to know she had not written a single line for a long time.Waking up at ten in the morning, she was out of her room after half an hour.She had not taken a bath yet, she was craving for some strong coffee.Still in her sleep, she descended the stairs to reach Vansh's floor and the thought of having a glimpse of him made her walk toward his room.Knocking, sh
Good morning" Trying to meet her eyes, Vihaan spoke while sitting at the breakfast table.It was not exactly morning; it was ten in the morning, and they both were late for the office.Or, Vihaan was deliberately late as he was waiting for Shana to at least look at him.He was completely sober, even if he was not, he was not going to show it.The thought of the night was a nightmare for him and he did not want to ruin the present day.But it looked like it had.He felt Shana ignoring him completely, and once done with the breakfast, he followed her back to his room.Closing the door, he walked toward Shana and lightly grabbing her elbow, made her turn towards him."Please look at me" Lifting her chin with his index finger; he was like a lost puppy.Shana did not glance at him."I am sorry, Shana"
Tick tick tick....The second hand of the wall clock was increasing her heartbeat with every strike and she was becoming more anxious.Now she was concerned about him. It might have been normal for her to pretend to be okay in front of the members of the family when they had asked about Vihaan and she had replied" He will be late."But, now when she was alone, and time was passing at a fast pace, she was worried.All she wanted was for him to be in front of her.Lurching up from the bed, she stood up and picking the phone from the table, she had just dialled his number when she heard the bell ringing outside the door of the room.And the next second, she heard the knob of the door turning.She had never been so relieved as she was a the moment and she almost ran forward to hug him.But, then she stopped and all the anxiousness, worri
