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 suspeMrs 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
"Aunt" taking out a steel box with a beautiful design carved on it, Shanaya placed it in front of Mrs Rathores and spoke" Akshar made pede for you all." and smiled."Aww... So sweet of him. " taking it, Chaya Rathore opened it immediately.Shanaya laughed knowing her love for sweet."Where is mine? "narrowing his eyes at Shanaya, Saaransh questioned with a sense of power.Looking at him being all bossy, Shana laughed again and spoke " At home. Will give you it tonight. "But, it did not go well with Vihaan at all. He could not tolerate anyone, even his Best Friend going to her home.That too, in the night.Saaransh knew it would not go well with Vihaan at all, but he wanted to make him jealous and rageful for once.He wanted him to feel it.He was going to speak more when his phone rang, again and he excused himsel
Blinking her eyes in bewilderment, Shana follows Vihaan in her apartment."Wow...what an irony! Following someone in your own home!" her mind did not leave any chance to mock her.Ignoring it, placing her hands on either side of her waist, she spoke "Excuse me? I did not invite you to come inside my room!!"Ignoring her fully, as if she was not sharing the space, Vihaan went inside her kitchen and picked up the water glass from the cupboard. Next, he opened the fridge to take out the bottle and pouring it into a glass, he drank it.Knowing and sensing very well Shana's eyes on him.Shana's eyes were fixed on every movement of his adam apple as if it was the most awesome and sexiest thing she has ever watched.Which was true for her.Not about watching it for the first time, though.Looking at him, she loved the way he drank the water
Shanaya could not take it any longer. Hearing it for the second time, she no longer cared what the hell was going to happen in the next minutes.Taking a step toward him, she saw him retracing his steps and she arched her eyes.What was he going to do?Next, she knew, the moment she took a step more toward him, he took a step back.Okayyy.... He was playing with her.But she had enough.Walking toward him, she scoffed when she saw him backing and before she knew, she shouted or it seemed to her" Stop moving!"It was as if GOD wanted the exact moment to remove awkwardness between them as Vihaan walks toward her bed with Shanaya rushing toward him."Come babes, take it" teasing her, Vihaan spoke excitedly while flashing the phone, again and again.They were so engrossed in the moment, they did not notice the surround
Enjoying the warmth from the heat of the fireplace on the freezing night of December, grandma was lying on the sofa, her eyes on the bunch of red roses in the garden visible from the floor-length glass window in the hall.The garden was illuminated with the light of the bulbs and the decorated trees.Mr Rathores have retired for the night along with Vansh and Avni.Lying not far away from her, doing absolutely nothing, were Mrs Rathores with their eyes closed.It was their "me" time."Our children are growing up too soon. I can't believe they will be getting married soon. " still admiring the red roses, Grandma spoke.Yes, it was their gossip time too.Lying in the middle of them, with her eyes closed, Mrs Shakti spoke with a hint of accusation" Yes, grown enough to hide things from us."Yes, she was still mad at Vihaan for hiding ab
Shanaya kept looking at Vihaan.Lying under him, her body fitting perfectly under the masculine body of Vihaan,her every part in rhyme with his, feeling every bit of it, she did not flinch her eyes.For she could not.Vihaan's eyes were fixed on Shanaya's face. Not because he wanted to intimidate her, not because he wanted to hypnotize her, not because he wanted to change her decision.He just wanted to see her reaction.Actual reaction.He wanted to notice the changes in her expressions, wanted to hear the answer to his questions with her eyes.He wanted to know the exact answer of his question.For he knew, only her eyes would tell him the truth, the truth he wanted to know so badly.Shanaya either did not feel anything at all or felt everything and yet could not decipher it, for she was too shocked. She had neve
Why don't you get married? I want to see my great-grandchild before I die"oiling and massaging Vihaan's hair, Grandma spoke.She was seated on the deewan in the lawn, warming herself with the rays of the sun, the much-needed warmth, while Vihaan's head lay at the lap of her while his half body was spread on the grass carpet with his arms locked around his chest.A smile, beautiful smile spread on his face and he hugs himself more as if he was hugging someone else.The smile widened when he remembered the moments with Shana and how much he wanted it to continue, with no thought of the time, regrets, the possibility of rejection.Only his right on Shana, only him to touch and love her ,only him to share his life with her.All he wanted was Shana to be 'Vihaan's girl'.He closed his eyes as if he was imagining when he heard grandma saying " Do I need to look a girl for you?
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
