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
