"Huhh, we are not even a couple", speaking as if complaining, Shana could only smile mildly.
Fuck! she hates these shows! She does not even know how to dance. Was she going to make fun of herself today?She could even imagine the headline"Ms Shana made fun of herself!"Standing on the stage, looking at Shana, Vihaan could not believe God was in his favour.Who would have thought he would be dancing with Shana? That too, in public!His long-lasting desires were coming true.The Desires of dancing with her in front of the public, making her as his, telling all the men in the world thinking of her, "Back off, she is mine.""Calm down, bro. It's just a dance. Don't overdo." and his mind was once again at work.Ignoring his mind, he kept looking at Shana and watched her standing from her seat to come to the stage. Even though she was stil"Are we going to sit here till night? " looking at Shana, busy eating burger Vansh looked irritatingly at Avni and then again at Shana.All three of them were sitting in the Mcdonald, eating the burger.And, of course, cold coffee.Even though it was cold, Shana was one of those who liked having cold drinks aka, cold coffee, cold water and, the list continues.Chewing it more carefully but slowly, Shana looked at Vansh and spoke after a minute, "What? "She was seated opposite Vansh and beside Avni.It was the trio's first outing since the shocking truth and, it felt so comfortable and normal to be sitting there, talking about Vihaan.As if nothing happened.Maybe that's what bonding is all about.After fighting and hating, comes care and missingness."Who eats a burger in so much time?? " bendin
Shana wanted to run away every time she would encounter, Vihaan.It had only been two hours and, she already had faced him like five times.Thanks to the meetings.She was regretting it, or rather, she was too afraid of her decision or either she was not ready to take responsibility.Her past insecurities were not settling down."Fuck! It has been years and, yet I am too afraid. " Grabbing her hair in frustration, she kept moving in her office." Yes, because it's the same guy. Also, What a great use of your office, Shana. You are simply misusing your power by not working. " Sarcasm her mind.What she wanted most was her mind and heart on the same page but, it didn't seem like it.All she wanted was her agony to end in any way.And suddenly, she knew it.She knew how to end it, even though she kn
2 days beforeShana was tired. Or rather, she was out of her breath was the truth.Bending with her waist, her hands on her respective knees, she gasped for the air.Dressed in black running pants with a blue tee and black running shoes, she was standing on the pavement in front of Rathore's mansion with her hair, soaked in sweat, tied up in a high pony.It was eight in the morning of not so chilly and warm mid-February, with the golden, glowing sun rays falling on the road getting filtered by the trees.Yes, it was a beautiful Sunday morning and, Shana was happy but tired to jog after such a long time.Taking a long breath, she stood straight and, roaming her hand in hair, looked at the main door of the Rathore Mansion. She had come in the night just like her promise to Vansh of visiting them every weekend.But what relieved her most was, Devil was not at home.
"So, you are going to accept his proposal?"Sitting on Vansh's bed, enjoying the warmth of the blanket, Shana looked blankly at her coffee mug.It was mid of February, the evening staying for a little longer, the sun glowing the world with its rays for a little longer and the darkness clouding the sky a little later.Sitting with her back against the bed while her knees bent, her palms receiving the heat of the coffee mug, she was now looking at the scenery handing in the front wall.It was nothing peculiar or, even if it was, she had no knowledge about the art.For her, it was just a weird painting with so many colours mixing, giving no message or revealing any face or place.All she had some extracurricular talents were in writing.And well, she was an ace in business.Not that she would have liked people calling her like it, but she was glad to be on the same page as Vihaan.
Vihaan was regretting.Driving his black Porsche Panamera through the busy roads of New Delhi, Vihaan's mind was all focused on Shana.And, he was least worried about the accident caused by no presence of his mind?But, it seemed he already had a plan.He was sure he could claim it on Shana. After all, wasn't it because of her, he was thinking about her, rather than driving?"Wow...bro! Well done! I never thought I would ever see such an ugly side of yours." sarcasm, one part of his heart."What? At least I would have her attention, then!" replied back his another part of the heart.Oblivious to all of this, Vihaan's mind was on his conversation with Shana and the morning incident. Would not it have been nice if it would be a normal yet romantic thing for both of them, every single day till forever.?Every, single day he would wake u
"Our marriage is supposed to be a secret... hmmm?" not believing it for even a second, Vihaan bends a little forward, diminishing the already exit distance between them.He was not going to lose her, just because she wanted to have fun!Yes, she could have all the fun she wanted, but not like these.On top of that, he was not ready to believe she was adamant about it.But she was."Yes," backing away a little, Shana was determined.But her determination went to drink water when she felt Vihaan's right index finger under her chin and found her eyes meeting with the silent but seducing eyes of Vihaan.Wait, what? Vihaan was trying to seduce Shana? It was really something new. "And, May I know the reason for it? " looking deep in her eyes, looking for an answer, Vihaan enquired while stroking her chin with the same finger.
"What the Hell!? " within a second, Shana was against his chest, her hands tied against her back with Vihaan's hand acting as a rope, his fuming nose touching hers.Fuming with anger, he did not even feel her presence. His anger was not letting him enjoy her warmth but, the idea of her flirting with someone else, having an extramarital affair with someone else, letting someone else touch her was all in his mind."Have you lost your mind? Do you even know what are you speaking?" glaring at her, pulling her closer, Vihaan spoke through gritted teeth.But, he could not even wait for her response.Suddenly, he felt as if his heart could no longer pump, his lungs could not breathe and, he stood up with a jerk, mistakenly brushing his knees against her's."You want our marriage to be a secret so that no one can know you are with me. Because you want to flirt with anyone and want to have an affair with som
Vihaan knew she was thinking about the rules when he saw Shana deep in her thoughts, and, god forbid! They were just three rules and, she had him raging all over.What about the other one?He waited a minute for her to reply. But, when no answer came from her, he looked at her sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. And, looking at her fingers rather than at him.The gesture made her so mad at her he could not stop himself from saying, " Do you even love me in the back as you claimed to be? Were you even loyal to me?."He was damn angry at her! He did not realise he had brought their past, the past no one had talked about openly.How could she even make such conditions? All he wanted was her to say she was kidding. And, he wanted it soon. Otherwise, even he did not know what he was going to do next."Don't ever try to judge me!." standing up with a jerk, she almost sh
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
