Mahira didn’t want to talk now, she just wanted to get inside and sit some place stable.
They headed to the deck where the dinner was laid out, it was at the party hall that she'd passed by earlier during her walk. There wa a Dj console at a corner and a dance floor, neon ligts along with regular brightness changed the ambience to a party's.
The aroma of the food relaxed Mahira a bit. Tazz refused to let go of her hand despite reaching the diner’s, she tried to pull away but he strengthened his grip
“Tazz, where have you been, I’m not feeling too well, could you please be with me,” Sonia pretended to be ill as she walked up to him and held his hand.
Tazz wanted to ignore her but decided otherwise, in an instant he left Mahira’s wrist and held So
Mahira grew nervous as Tazz walked towards her, Anuj, who was observing all this had a big smile on his face, ‘time for the hunt,’ he knew that Tazz was about to display his killer dance abilities to Mahira, but he was worried for her, ‘would she be able to handle his dance tempo?’Tazz was known as 'Tazz the tornado' when it came to dance, Anuj was worried for her as he knew Tazz wanted to vent his anger on seeing her dancing with Coleman through dance, ‘God help ya Mahira,’ he felt like he should turn into a priest as he had lot to pray about, he thought, as he seriously considered itAs soon as Tazz reached to where Mahira stood, their eyes met and something happened, like they travelled through a tunnel and reached back into their past, Mahira felt numb in mind as she could not think, she placed her hand in his when he asked for it.
“Stop!,” Mahira suddenly shouted aloud, everything became silent as all gazes fixed on her.Without thinking or realising anything she quickly snatched the spoon from Tazz’s hand and put it back down on his plate with a slam she didn’t intend.“Miss Mahira, what kind of a behaviour is this, don’t you know how to behave with your bosses, just because you have been given the privilege of joining us for dinner, must you display your true worthless self and exhibit your unruly table manners, no wonder you gave such poorly suggestions keeping in mind the masses, you too are just one of them,” Sonia hurled insults at Mahira like she was waiting for this moment.Mahira was surprised with her own behaviour too but she had no choice but to do what she did.Tazz and An
There were storms of different capacities brewing in everyone’s mind.Tazz felt warm in heart as it was confirmed all the more officially that she was his Maya, the dance, the steps and then the mushrooms. He immediately wanted to rush to her room and hold her tight and make her his again, completely. He realised that she did care, still care for him, she remembered everything, his mushroom allergy, the entire choreography was still fresh in her mind, he was ecstatic.Sonia was happy with the feeling that Tazz thoughtfully de boned and deshelled the fish and crab for her, she felt things were becoming easy for her and Mahira will be taken care of soon.Mahira was concerned, if she hadn’t done what she did, Tazz would have to bear severe consequences, her act was a natural reflexive reaction, she couldn’t hol
“Maya,” he said then paused again, Mahira flinched at the name he mentioned, she felt that he called out Maya deliberately to check her reaction, she had to be strong and pretend like she found him weird.“Who ?” she shrugged and frowned , directing a surprised look at himHe smiled again, like knowing well she wouldn’t admit, but he didn’t imply that, he began slow walking towards her“Maya, her name was Maya, she was Bro’s lifeline, still is, I never got to meet her, but I heard it from bro that she was different, very caring, she was as beautiful as a white peacock, with long wavy hair, she was wiling to do anything for bro, she was the one who sent bro back home when he had separated from us. She loved him a lot, but then something happened,” he paused and kept looking
"Finally, thank you for coming back to your senses," she felt relieved, "What have you in mind?" she asked, then realised he would not come up with a friendly solution as he smiled cheekily.."I shall pay you with my body for sure, since I already mentioned that I don't keep favours, but not today, I will defer my plan to pay you for a while, but someday I’ll pay you back , okay,”"Okay," she nodded frantically like she just found an ice cream of her favourite flavour , relieved that atleast today she was saved from his zealous self offering fest"But,", and she stopped and froze, not expecting 'conditions apply' to happen"but what?" she asked frightfully"You have to do me another favour, a
Anuj walked with Mahira, the trademark Anuj grin flashing wide on his face."Hey gorgeous, you look amazing in this," he complimented her sincerely"Thankyou," she smiled"slept late?" Anuj teased her"Nope, why would I, well, I told you I am scared of sea, I mean being alone,"'Then did you just run a marathon?" he asked,"Nope, I ran because.... well, I ran late for the meeting,""Then did you rummage through a powder room?" like playing a rapid fire round, he kept firing questions at herMahira rolled her eyes at him, "What do you want to ask exactly?" she asked exasperated already"Nothing, I just wanted to dust this off," he began slapping his hands over her sleeves, like dusting off powder, Mahira realised it must be flour that must have stayed on her dress by mistake, she simply grinned, "th
The Blue roses looked like they belonged out of this world, Sonia walked closer to one of the bunch and wanted to pluck it"NO," John literally yelled on top of his lungs, Sonia froze in fear, turning around she looked at him with wide eyes"I'm sorry to scare you but these are poisonous roses, also as long as you are on this island, do not, I mean DO NOT attempt to pluck any flower or leaf, especially the blue rose,""Why is that?" asked Sonia"because the islanders worship the blue rose here and if you are caught then you may never be able to return to your city ever and...," he looked fearful"and?" quizzed Sonia"You may have to bear the brunt of facing the Tribal head's ire," he concluded his piece of i
John was no where to be seen for a while, by the time Tazz and team finished their task it was almost 5:30 in the evening. Mahira realised how hard Tazz worked, he was a hard task master for sure. John returned and spoke to Tazz for a while, Tazz looked at Mahira, he nodded at whatever John spoke , looking like he was in agreement to whatever John was suggesting. Tazz walked to where Mahira was, “ready to leave?” he asked extending his hand out to her, she held it and stood up, like it was a natural daily thing between her and Tazz.“If you guys are done,” she replied , her feet sunk into soft sand as she attempted to walk, Tazz held her hand tight, she didn’t know why her feet felt limp, maybe from sitting for so long“What happened, are you getting pins and needles?” Tazz asked
Maya tried hard to punch and kick him, but he was too strong for her, she felt repulsed as he tried to push open her lips with the force of his tongue, when she stood her ground firm he left her lips and glared at herLooking at the dangerous look in his red eyes, she regretted not having let Tazz come with her now, he was right, She shouldn’t have trusted TJ“Why.. can’t I kiss my bride to be?,” his breath reeked of whisky and she turned her face away in disgust“It should be done particularly now that my woman is lost in the thoughts of another man,” he sneered close to her face“We are not getting married, even if I would have wanted to , after what you did just now, I will never marry you,” She turned her face to look at him straight in his eyes, his jaw twitched and it was clear that he held back from unleashing the beast within“You have lost my trust and my respect for good TJ,” she looked into his eyes while he didn’t move, still glaring at her,“Just.. just stop for God’s sak
Now this really was news to him"Mahira was married to Petnovak!!," Tazz was totally taken aback, how fate plays a major role in people's lives, he just realised it, of all the places and projects he had to choose from, he zeroed in on this Island project, when he suddenly decided to get Maya on this project, his intention was purely to keep her close to him, but fate was playing at getting her closer to her family“Yes, and since these tribals have a unique magical way to bind souls and mates, when Mahira was killed, Petnovak and Little Tiger froze in a soul entanglement vortex, that night, Mahira communicated through me with her husband and child, somehow cutting off the bond so that they could continue to live,”Tazz was taken aback“Do such things really happen?”
Back in Singapore:“Anuj, I don’t understand, it’s been a few days and Tazz isn’t back, who do you think will be responsible for the losses incurred in business, how can he be so irresponsible,”Jairaj, Tazz and Anuj’s father had received a call by Tejraj informing that Tazz has not been concentrating on the business and some board of directors have been complaining about a new island project the company has over taken at a magnanimous amount“Dad, trust me, Bro has everything in control, there’s nothing wrong at the office here, I don’t understand who keeps giving you such misinformations,” Anuj turned to glare at Tejraj who sat leisurely on Tazz’s chair and read a newspaper“I don’t know anything, find that wast
It seemed like several seasons had passed by as the two lovers cozied up in each other’s arms, Tazz leaned his back on his car and she had the back of her head on his chest. The sun had set and the breeze had cooled down long back.Tazz held her firmly against his chest, finally he got to know what he wanted to, finally she admitted that she was his Maya, finally the game of cop and thief was over and all the misunderstandings had resolved, all but one..Who was that man who lay such a dangerous game of chess for them all, who went to the extent of raping and killing Mahira just to threaten Maya from going ahead with this wedding and whose motive was so big to have planned and schemed so wellHe truly wanted to dig more but stopped as soon as he sensed her discomfort, he cursed himself for being impatient when he felt her go
“Mahira is no more,”she looked straight ahead into nowhere in particular, her face was hard, eyes cold and stony, a whiff of strong breeze hit Tazz as the impact of her words set upon himHe felt engulfed in her pain for a moment as a look of deep sadness spread to her eyes“What happened?,”Mahira abruptly turned to look at Tazz, her face scrunched up in fury, her eyes shot daggers at Tazz and he stood aghast wondering why was she looking at him like he was the cause of her deathThen suddenly her face eased up, her eyes flickered and she looked away as tears brimmed up. She remembered Anuj’s words, all that happened to Tazz, he too was a victim just like her so why was she shooting daggers at him when the culprit is
‘Dear Nature, what is it that you play at, separated by misfortune but united by fortune,’Tazz looked at Mahira’s face coloured with shock and smiled, placing his left hand over the steering lazily, he looked straight ahead“She is adorable, cute, intelligent and a very wise kid, completely like me, a perfect miniature of me” he sounded proudHe continued to look afar with eyes that had pride in them, as if he could see her tottering around or walking towards him, then he looked down and smiled, shaking his head in disbelief“We have a strong bond between us right from the first time we met, she an...,”“When was the first time you met her?,” Mahira interrupted him, still unable to deal with thi
The vip room was dimly lit, loud music blared in the background and the neon red blue lights shone from the rotating disco ball across the room. A soft hand unbuttoned the shirt on the man’s body, he had drunk quite a bit and smiled as she slid her delicate fair and soft hand inside the shirt, caressing his chest, then moving to play with his nips, pinching them gently“Oh you naughty girl,” he laughed as he grabbed her hand and placed it on the belt of his pants, then he grabbed her hand again and rubbed it against his cr*tch“Ah! you are ready for me,” she mewled in her soft kitten like voice and quickly unbelted him, the man hungrily tugged at her blouse, pulling it off her head and grabbing her breast with one hand.She half lay on the couch, bent on her knees she took his erection into her moist w
Mahira froze momentarily and applied breaks abruptly as one of the RollsRoyce came to a sudden halt right in front of her car, her heart almost stopped beating for a moment in fear.The sharp blazing sun light hit her through the front glass, blinding her momentarily, however no sooner had she regained herself, she was overtaken with a rising sense of panic.She vaguely saw someone alight from the RollsRoyce that had blocked her path and walk towards her, she blinked several times but her eyes could only see spots of black dots because of the sun. The man took slow deliberate steps towards her, soon reaching her car he knocked on the window“Hey, It wasn’t my fault, it was you who stopped your car without any warning,” Mahira yelled without sliding the window down, blinking repeatedly to ease her sight back, but t
Mahira disconnected the phone when there was no response from the other end. Tama was still crying aloud“baby what’s wrong, why are you crying?,” Mahira panicked “Aaaa...waaaaaa...,” she kept going at it“Mommy I don’t want you to marry uncle,” she spoke in between sobs“Please mommy, please..waaaaaaa,” Mahira’s heart felt squeezed as she saw tears stain Tama's cheeks, wiping the tears from her face Mahira quickly held her close to her heart, she could not let this marriage happen without Tama’s consent, it was important that Tama accepts TJ, she took in a deep breath“Okay Tama.. baby.. listen to me, listen to Mama,”Tama&
