Arjun
I woke up by the sting of a mosquito. I hissed in pain, watching it fly away. How the hell is there mosquitos in a hotel room? And this is supposed to be a five-star hotel? Unbelievable. I had to squint because of the bright light. I was going to cover my eyes with my hand, but my hand stopped halfway to my face when I realized that I was laying on Preetah's chest. I frowned, did she watch me fall asleep or did she sleep before me? I lifted my body up a little and then looked down at her. She was fast asleep, her hair forming a silky layer over her pillow. Clearly, she was used to mosquitos. I looked from her hair to her inviting lips. I couldn't resist the temptation to kiss them. She stayed asleep after the kiss, just turned her head to the other side, as if disturbed. I stayed looking at the side of her face, but only for a few seconds because she turned her whole body away. I stared at her bare back, which looked smooth and had the colour of caramel. She had a mole on the left side of her back. I touched it. She moved. I decided to cover her with the flat sheet, careful not to wake her. I had never been with a virgin before, maybe that's why I had this weird feeling of having to protect her. She just seemed so... vulnerable. What's with you, Preetah? Perhaps this feeling was weakness. Maybe I was the one folding in, being vulnerable. I still don't even know why she accepted to marry me, for all I know, it could be because of my money. And here I was, folding in. I dropped myself on the bed next to her. Feeling utterly disappointed. I placed both my hands on my abdomen, staring up at the white ceiling. There was that mosquito again, hovering above us. All my life I had only looked out for myself. Cared for myself. I had never felt attachment to anybody the way I felt today. I mean, how many times have people told me that I don't have a heart? Or that I have a heart of stone? Women, my father and even Artha at one point. But today, Preetah made me question that. For the first time in a long time, it felt like my heart may just not be fully dead. Perhaps there was a tiny part of it, still able to feel. But now what? Today it's a little spark, will my whole heart ignite tomorrow? And then what? Will I become vulnerable again? Start taking every little word to heart? I was vulnerable for eighteen years of my life. Long enough. Because even when I was being verbally and emotionally abused, I presumed it to be love. Believed that my father loved me. As a result, I loved him. No... not again, Arjun. Not again. I heard the mosquito buzz and then followed it with my eyes. It landed on Preetah's shoulder. I watched it for a few seconds before turning to the opposite side.Preetah Our first night together felt like heaven. Heaven on earth. Arjun had been gentle throughout, he listened to me and kept asking me if I was okay. He told me that I was beautiful and that he loved my body. After everything, we slept with him lying on my chest. I was awake long after he had fallen asleep and snoring. I was so happy. So happy that I thanked lord Shiva for keeping me for Arjun and keeping him for me. Since he was asleep, it took much courage, but I ran my hands through his sleek hair, smiling down at him. I then ran my fingers across his lips, like he had done to me. He had beautiful lips, they were not as pink as they were in high school, but they had a hint of it. In the morning, I was awoken by him scolding someone loudly over the phone. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, an open laptop on his lap and his cell phone to his ear. “My question is, why did you wait until now to tell me?” He shouted. “I don't care about time difference! Something goes wrong, you phone me immediately.” I sat up on the bed and tied up my hair. “And it's simple, the delivering truck breaks down, send another one to take the goods and deliver. Why must we wait for the same one to get fixed as if we only have one? Now I have to get through a bloody two pages long email of BMW complaining that their delivery is late.” With how worked up Arjun was, I could imagine that being the boss of a company must not be easy. “Don't say you're sorry. Get the goods delivered to BMW today before close of business.” He then hung up and threw his phone on the bed. “Is everything okay?” I asked him as he began typing on his laptop. He didn't respond. Perhaps he was too focused and hadn't heard me. I got off the bed and wore the hotel's pink gown and white slippers. I took a seat next to him on the bed. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black pants. He looked like he had already taken a shower. How long has he been up? “Good morning.” I greeted him. “Is everything okay?” To my surprise, he still did not answer. I figured that maybe he was too upset about the late deliveries and was trying to fix the problem. I had to give him some space. “I'll go take a shower.” I informed him. I took my cell phone out of my bag and went into the bathroom and locked the door. I phoned Roshni. When she answered she shrieked with joy. I laughed softly at her silliness. "Aren’t you at work?" “Hmm... How was it?” She teased. “Roshni, Arjun is right outside, I am in the bathroom.” I whispered. “Yes, yes. How was it?” I blushed. “I don't know... like floating...” She shrieked, making me laugh. “You naughty little thing! I want all the details! Down to the smallest detail.” I came to take a seat on the toilet. “I don't know Roshni, but Arjun is just so sweet, and gentle, and so handsome! Gosh he is hooot!” “Ooooh! Girl, did he—” The door handle creaked. Someone was trying to open from the outside. “I have to go. Bye.” I quickly hung up. “Preetah.” Arjun was knocking on the door. “Who are you talking to?” I unlocked the door, and he stepped in. “Who are you talking to in secret?” He asked me, an eyebrow raised. “Roshni.” I told him as he took my phone out of my hand and began going through it. “Not in secret, I just didn't want to disturb you.” He was silent for a few seconds as he went through my phone with a frown. After a few seconds, he passed it back to me. “I booked us a flight back home. The quickest I could get was at 10pm. So 10pm we leave India for good.” He sounded so stern and emotionless as if delivering information, he had gotten from someone else. “What about our flight to China?” I asked him. “I cancelled it.” He said. “Oh...” I was really looking forward to visiting China. “You're only 5 hours from China, why haven't you gone before?” I felt a little embarrassed. “Uh... I didn't really have money for travelling.” Arjun stared at me like he was thinking hard and trying to read my mind. Not in a romantic way. I felt just a little uncomfortable. “Of course.” He answered. I didn't know how to respond to that, it was obvious that Arjun was still not in a better mood. He stepped out of the bathroom, leaving me a bit confused at this change in his aura. He came back into the bathroom. “Why are you just standing there?” “I actually want to brush my—” “Anyway,” He interrupted, shaking his head. “I am going to sit in the balcony and work. When you want breakfast, you can phone room service and order a meal.” “Okay.” He left again. I felt downhearted only for a minute and then I brushed it off. Stop being silly, Preetah. Arjun is upset about business; how else do you want him to act? At least he is being honest about his feelings instead of just acting like the issue with his company isn't bothering him at all. I took a deep breath in and then turned to face the mirror. I gave myself my biggest smile. I thought about Arjun complimenting my lips — that's when my smile really looked genuine. As I thought about our time together, I felt tingles of pleasure take over my body. As I brushed my teeth and showered, I continued replaying my special night with Arjun — every touch, every kiss, every breath. When I finished, I called for my breakfast and my husband's. As I waited for the food, I filled Roshni in about my day, and about Arjun's upsetting call from this morning. She took longer to reply after each message, informing me that it was because she was at work and had so much to do after missing work. “I got your breakfast.” I said, holding Arjun's tray of food. I stood at the door. Arjun turned to face me. He looked annoyed that I had disturbed him. I stepped into the balcony and placed his tray of food on the table next to his laptop. “Thanks, but I don't eat breakfast.” He responded and then reverted to his laptop screen. “Oh...” “What I will take though, is a strong cup of coffee. Black. No sugar.” He said. The hot water, empty cup, and coffee was already on the tray, so I quickly made him one. He watched me make it. He then took a sip and placed it back on the table. “Thanks.” He said. “You can take the other stuff away.” I picked up the tray. “Uhm... you said our plane leaves at 10 tonight...” He nodded and continued to work. “Did you inform father?” I asked. “Or should I?” “He'll come with Artha and Dean.” “Okay.” I smiled and then walked back inside. I am sure father was very happy. It would be his first time flying out of the country too. I couldn't wait for when the American doctors would make him prosthetic legs. Nothing would make me happier than to see him walk again. When they book the flight, I would have to ask Roshni to go help him pack up. She wouldn't have a problem with that. I spent the rest of the day sitting on the bed and watching movie after movie. I kept darting towards the glass door, Arjun was still working. He was on and off calls too. After the third movie ended, I laid on the bed, my head where feet normally are. I faced Arjun, his back was to me. I couldn't help feeling a little sad... It's been almost 4 hours, and he hadn't eaten anything. He had just walked in to use the bathroom and then walked out again. Hadn't even looked at me. I was hungry, and I had breakfast, what about him? I didn't want to disturb him too by going to ask if he wanted lunch. I'll eat lunch with him, whenever he decides to eat. I'll wait for him. Just then he got up, the laptop in his hand, and walked into the room. Our eyes met as he walked in. This time I didn't look away; I was glad to see him! He placed his laptop and cell phone on the table in the room and then walked to the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob and then turned to me. “Would you like to order lunch or go out for lunch?” I quickly sat up on the bed, my heart jumping with joy. It would be so good to leave the hotel for a few hours. “Uh... go out.” He nodded and then walked to the balcony and back. He opened his wallet and handed me his bank card. “Go have lunch then. We'll meet up here two hours before 10.” I took the card, feeling my heart fall. “I thought we were going to have lunch together.” I told him. “I'm going out with Dean. I'll have lunch with him.” He said. “My sister is 4 rooms away, you can go out for lunch together if you want. But she talks a lot. It's up to you.” I was very disappointed. The whole day he had been working, now he was finally done but he was going away. I felt like telling him that I wished he could stay and have lunch with me, but I didn't have the courage to. I didn't want him to think that he married a clingy wife. He wanted to spend quality time with his best friend, I had to let him. That's what a good wife would do, so I gave him a smile and nodded. After the door shut, my smile faded. As much as I wanted to be a good wife, I missed my husband and longed to spend time with him.Roshni I held my breath as I quickly packed the dog food on the lowest shelf in the last aisle. It smelt horrible. So horrible. I quickly darted at my watch. “Okay. Almost home time, Roshni.” I whispered to myself. “30 more minutes and then—” “Are you talking to yourself?” An annoying voice interrupted. It was Mr Karan. My boss. I groaned inwardly and then turned my head and looked at him blankly. I was on my knees. I shrugged. “Come to the back.” He said curtly and then turned to leave. “For what?” I hissed at him. “This is the last stock to pack for the day.” He turned around quickly, fixed his spectacles and gave me a frustrated look, before turning away. His back was slightly hunched, and his belt was always over his belly. “Do you see the time?” I hissed at him, getting up quickly and running after him. “Isn't Mrs Sofia here?” I whispered. “She went to buy some stock.” He answered and then pulled me by my arm, into the stock room. A rat scurried away at the sound of our footsteps. The stock room was dim as one of the bulbs was fused. It smelt of dust, plastic and tinned foods. I clenched my teeth and felt my blood boil in anger and disgust as Mr Karan placed the hook on the small door. After locking the door, he immediately came for my breasts. I stepped back, away from him. “Wait, I need to finish my work before I go. It's almost 6—” “You haven't been here for 3 days, girl, come on now.” He sounded impatient and as he spoke, he reached out to hold me. “The more reason why I should go finish my work.” I told him, holding my breath as he leaned in. “Stop talking so much.” He hissed. “Do you want to keep your job or not?” I turned to the other side and unwillingly let him give me a couple of wet kisses on my face and fiddle with my clothes. His mouth smelt of strong curry and it made me gag. “What's your problem?” He scolded. I shook my head as a response. After cleaning his teeth, he went on. I gave him my back and let him use my body for his pleasure. At least it always lasted less than a minute and a half. All I had to do was hold my breath, for a minute and a half with one break in between, and then I could get far from him. I cussed inwardly and felt disgust, hearing him grunt and feeling him grope every part of my body. After he finished, I took his arms off from around me, stepped away and pulled up my jeans. “Give.” I held out my hand. He was bent over, panting, his pants still around his ankles. “You don't even let the old man regain his breath first?” He scowled. I didn't respond, kept my hand out and kept my frown intact. He shook his head at me and pulled his pants up. He then did his belt and then pulled out a stack of notes from his pocket. From the stack he took out a couple of notes and handed it to me. “What is this?” I asked, after counting the money. “You should know business was quiet today—” “This isn't even half of what you are supposed to give me.” “I'll add it to the next one, don't worry.” “Really now?” My blood boiled out of anger. “Relax. I said I will add it on to the next one—” I cleaned my teeth and then left the room. “Who are you cleaning your teeth at?” He yelled behind me. How dare him think this low of me. I have become so worthless that he was sure there would be a next time... I stopped in my tracks when I saw Junior at the till helping a customer. When he saw me, he smiled and waved. I responded with a closed-mouth smile and then walked in the opposite direction. I sat down next to the smelly dog food and folded the money into my pocket. As I fixed my hair into a neater ponytail, tears escaped my eyes, and one found its way between my lips. I wiped my eyes and ignored the salty taste of my tear. After letting out a huge sigh, I picked up a bag of dog food and continued packing. “Suck it up, Roshni. Come on.” After a second, Junior appeared, with a grin. “You good?” He asked me. I nodded, “you?” “Tired, but okay.” He scratched his head. I nodded. “I found that customer waiting at the till with no one to help her, could have been a thief, you know.” He told me. I nodded. I don't give a damn. “Yeah, sorry. Was stock taking in the back. Needed to be done, I wasn't here for 3 days.” “I noticed.” He gave me a soft smile. “Heard you were sick. Are you okay now?” I nodded. “Yup.” Can you please go now? “I missed you.” He told me. I felt as though someone had hit the pause button on me, stopping with my hand on the one pack. Junior was a nerd, but sweet, it was very obvious that he liked me, he would sometimes throw me hints by bringing me take aways for lunch, chocolates and even making comments such as these. I was not into nerds but this particular nerd, with thick glasses, and a contagious smile, was actually bold, confident. As a result, I liked him too. Although I shouldn't. “Didn't you miss me?” He asked, with hopeful eyes. It didn't matter. I'm not good enough for him. He deserved much much better. I was already too far gone. “Son, you're back?” Mr Karan grinned behind him. “Yes, father.” Junior said, going to touch Mr Karan's feet. “Aren't you tired? Why are you here?” “The store is big, just came to give you and mom a hand.” He responded. “We have a hand. Roshni here, that's her job.” “I think it's time you maybe get another person too. Roshni was sick and it was just you and mom.” “It's fine, we don't have money to pay an extra person anyway.” Mr Karan said, placing a hand on Junior's shoulder. “The store is paying for your studies, that's all that matters. Don't worry about us.” What a hypocrite Mr Karan was, acting like a good family man in front of his son when really, he was just a pathetic perv. It angered me hearing him sound this way. All the new girls they employed never lasted longer than three weeks. They always never showed up again, without a trace. But I knew why. Everyday my hate for this place increased because of Mr Karan. I didn't see myself lasting long here anymore. In a couple of months, I would have saved up enough money to pay for my first year in Nursing, which I had already gotten provisional acceptance for. And then I could become somebody other than nobody.ArjunWe arrived in New York around 8 in the morning. It was a chilly morning.“Welcome to America.” I said, as we made our way through the airbridge.Preetah smiled up at me, her eyes widening, showing her excitement.“I think this is better than going to China!” She answered. “I don't think China—” She was stopped short when a lady in a rush bumped into her.“Can you walk?” The lady turned and snarled at her.“Sorry.” Preetah apologised instead of the lady that had come from behind us.“Why are you apologizing to her?” I cut in. “She's the one that...” I trailed off when the lady stopped in front of us to hear what I was about to say. She looked like she was ready for an argument and was just waiting for me to finish my statement.She looked angry but cute. She was wearing very short blue shorts and a black and white vest, exposing her cleavage. Hmm...“Finish your sentence.” Her menacing voice brought me back.“You should apologise to her, not the other way around.” I told her, but
Arjun Preetah looked like she was on the verge of tears. I didn't understand why she would think we would fly her father over – was it because of the court wedding? Court weddings weren't even that serious. And here she was, about to cry as if somebody had just died. “Babuji,” She turned to face dad. “You told me that father would be coming with us.” She then turned to me and that's when tears fell down her cheeks. I turned my heard away. I didn't have the patience for this."Are you really crying?" I asked, ignoring the stares of the other people in the room. Gosh, this was so embarrassing. "Why are you crying?"“Arjun, you said that father would be coming after us, remember? I asked you about it at the hotel and you said that he will be coming with—” “I was talking about my father.” I answered, my voice clear that I wasn't liking this one bit. “Why would your father come here? This is just a court wedding, exchange vows and sign some papers, done.” “Babuji told me that he would b
Dean I felt so weak, exhausted. For the past 3 days, I felt like I've been running on reserve energy. I'm glad Arjun gave me the day off. I was grateful. Especially that I would have never gotten it had it been me asking of my own accord. Arjun was a good friend when it came to other stuff but in business — he didn't know family or friends. Even on my sick days he demanded a sick note from the doctor. Imagine. “Can't believe you really left me here for three days.” Bianca told me, cozing up to me. “You could've taken me with you, you know?” She placed a soft hand on my neck and the other interlocking with my fingers. The thing with Bianca is, she was very physical. Her love language was touch. The only time she wasn't clinging onto me was when Artha was around. I loved it though. I loved her softness and femininity. “I told you; it wasn't my place to invite you.” I answered, leaning towards her instinctively, I don’t know. Everything about her just draws me in, made me feel some k
PreetahAfter lunch, which was pizza and cold drinks, both Artha and Babaji went back to their rooms and left me alone in the living room. It was boring without a phone or anyone to talk to. I didn't know how to turn the large flat screen on, it didn't seem to have a remote.After sitting on the couch for too long, I took a walk in the garden, just to have something to do. The house was already spotless, there was nothing to clean. I spent some time outside and then came back to the couch after I had looked at all the different kind of flowers Arjun had in his front yard.I actually missed my class. I am sure they were missing me too. If I was still back there, I would have been giving them back their maths assignments that I had marked and then do revision. It was always beautiful seeing their eyes light up after I explained something.“The kids seem to really like you, not that I care but, the maths pass rates this term for all the classes you teach sky rocketed compared to the term
Preetah I don't know whether it was him standing so close to me, his voice so soft and provocative or his hand lifting my chin to look at him – but I was dying! “Say you want it.” I was so nervous but I build up a little courage. “I want it.” “And what exactly do you want?” He moved his hand back to my neck, which made my womanhood tingle with excitement. “Hmm?” “You...” I responded. His lips curled upward, as if satisfied with my answer. He then began kissing me again. He placed my hands around his neck and reached for my bum. He pinned me against the door as his kisses became more passionate and his breathing got heavier. He then lifted me off the floor and took me to the bed. He sat at the edge of the and I stood in front of him, he pulled down my pants and kissed my thighs in the process. I just had my top now. He stood up and kissed my neck as he pulled down his pants. He ran his fingers over my vagina, a couple of times. “Hmm...” He moaned. “You're so wet.” He sat on
Arjun Artha looked like she was hiding something, and Dean looked like he knew what it was. Dean smiled nervously as the elevator doors began opening. “Well, we're all gonna need a seat for this one—” “Oh, there he is!” A man in a grey suit exalted, upon seeing us. I immediately recognized him. “Trevor Noah!” I reflected his excitement. “Bosses don't need to come early, right?” He chuckled as we shook hands. I shook my head, laughing too. “I don't believe in that. I just had a little emergency at home this morning.” I gestured to my office. “Please and welcome.” “Emergency or your wife kept you busy this morning?” He said and then laughed. I shared in the laugh although I found it a bit creepy that he managed to guess it. “I can see your face saying, 'wait, how did he know, but let me laugh so he doesn't think it’s true'.” He laughed as I closed the door behind him. “Am I right?” “Well...” I kept my grin as I went around my table. “Please have a seat.” “I am a presenter, I c
Preetah Did I get used to spending my days completely alone in a two-story house? No. Every day was the same and really boring. Eating takeaway food and not doing anything except make our bed. I even gained some weight. My joys came when Arjun would come home, be it at 4.30pm, which was rare, 5pm or 6pm. But even when he came home, the only time he showed interest in me was if he wanted sex. When I would ask him about his day, he would give one-word answers or not answer at all. Maybe he was just not talkative, and I couldn't force him to be. About my father? Babuji always gave me vague answers about how far Arjun was with the process of getting him here. I was afraid to ask Arjun directly because of how he had responded the other day.Ding-dong! That must be the guy that will fix the aircon that Arjun told me would be coming. I looked in the camera and saw the back of the head of a man wearing a green cap. I wondered if he was the one. I took the chance and buzzed him in. I watc
Arjun“Okay, Angelique, I must leave now. I'm too drunk.” I got up from the table. She got up and placed her hands around my neck. “My name is Kaylene.” She then kissed me. “Okay, that's it.” I said, breaking the kiss. “I need my bed. If I don't leave now, I'll pass out here. And that's not a good image for me.” “Sure, let's go then.” We walked out of the club, and she helped me not fall over all the way to my car. “Thank you for a lit night, Angelique.” I said as I fumbled for my car keys. “You're not gonna drive, are you?” She asked. “Call an Uber, I don't wanna die. I am only 35.” “No, no, honey. You're not gonna die, I am not taking you with—” “Why not?” Her face fell. I unlocked my car and was about to enter but she stopped me with a hand on my shoulder. “Don't be boring, let's go finish off our night, baby.” She pulled me towards her by my shirt and kissed my neck. “Don't you... want... me?” She asked between kisses. “Come on, baby.” “Tempting but...” I pushed her away
Preetah Arjun said bye this morning. He told me that we were invited to a show called Trevor's Ark and I had to be ready by 6pm. He said that he would come home, shower and then we would leave. He also told me that I have homework: to stream as many episodes of it as I could to know how it worked and how people behaved there. For that, he showed me how the TV in the room worked. He then left after I gave him his coffee and then I stayed in bed the whole morning, with no motivation to start my day. I only had one thing on my mind. Later I left the room and went back to the laundry basket. I took the white shirt and examined it for more red lipstick marks but there were just the ones on the collar. After looking at it for so long, as if it would answer my questions, I smelt it. It smelt purely of one of Arjun's many expensive colognes. Am I going crazy? Was I over-analyzing this situation? I hated this feeling of fighting myself internally, one part of me saying it could be anyt
Arjun I got off the bed and pulled on my shorts. Preetah was still in the bathroom and had left the door ajar. When I opened the door, she was standing in the bathroom, holding one of my shirts. She looked so sexy standing there barefoot in my t-shirt, with her hair falling over her shoulders. At least she was beautiful. I lifted the toilet seat and began urinating. “What are you doing?” I asked, without really looking back at her. “Nothing.” She responded and then left the bathroom. When I came back from the bathroom, I switched off the lights and snuck under the covers, wishing I could pull her body towards mine, but I didn't want her to think I was needy for affection, so I didn't. After treating her like I didn't like her all week, well I thought I didn't like her, I found myself almost telling her what happened to my mom. I had never even thought about speaking about it before, but I almost did with her. Not that Dean or dad was right, but I couldn't deny the fact th
DeanIt was Steve. His eyes widened just for about 2 seconds before he wiped all the expression from his face. “Uhm... Madam Preetah said that she would leave a plate of food for me in the microwave.” He said nervously, avoiding both our eyes. “Oh.” Both Artha and I said simultaneously and surprisingly almost bumped into each other, trying to go for the microwave.“You can go...” I told her, moving away to let her pass.She took the plate out of the microwave and passed it to Steve. He thanked us awkwardly and then left quickly.Artha and I exchanged looks. I shook my head.“I think this is a sign.” She told me.“What sign?” I frowned. “Don't be sentimental. There is no sign. We are not telling Arjun anything.”She began filling the takeaway with more food from the pot. “It's only a matter of time before Preetah tells Arjun.”
Preetah Arjun came home around 2pm with Dean, I was writing when I heard him and Dean's voice coming from the living room. They were loud and speaking over each other. I frowned, abandoning my book and running out of the room, my heart racing. I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down, only to see them laughing and then Arjun playfully shoving Dean. Was this really Arjun? Smiling, talking, and having fun like this? I saw Artha come out from her room, tuck her hair behind her ears and approach them both. “Afternoon guys.” She greeted them as they took a seat. She sat on the one end of the same couch as Dean. “Afternoon.” They responded. “So you decided to come visit today?” Artha asked Dean. “This is my house.” Dean answered jovially. “I gave Arjun a one-week break because he had just gotten married. Didn't want to take all the attention from Preetah.” “This guy...” Arjun said and then laughed. “I'm gonna go make me some coffee, this guy doesn't even have coffee in

Arjun Artha looked like she was hiding something, and Dean looked like he knew what it was. Dean smiled nervously as the elevator doors began opening. “Well, we're all gonna need a seat for this one—” “Oh, there he is!” A man in a grey suit exalted, upon seeing us. I immediately recognized him. “Trevor Noah!” I reflected his excitement. “Bosses don't need to come early, right?” He chuckled as we shook hands. I shook my head, laughing too. “I don't believe in that.
