Part 106

K: I cant…. I cant be gone from work….

S:A week is not going to bring the building down….

K:Nahi Shantanu (firm)

He gently let her slip out of his hold…………

S:The brochure is under the coffe table………..

She quietly wore her clothes……

K: Hmmm

She didn’t look to see where he pointed….

Quietly walked over to the bed and stripped the duvet down… and climbed in……. he wore his tee back and turned off the TV and powered off the game console

Answered his texts…….

She lay on her side looking at him………. Remembered she hadn’t brushed yet, got up went off to take care of her routine… returned with braided hair

Found him in the EXACT same spot… talking on the phone……

She got into bed and used the remote to turn off most of the 10s of ceiling lights… leaving the one above his head……..

He turned around to look, mid conversation……..

She turned away from him……

He walked over to the bed, and lay down on the few inches she had spared on the edge……. Crushing her…………

S:Why did you go to Chembur?

K: Yoon hi… (upset)

She put a lot of distance between them on the bed……..

Turned to look at him

S: I have a meeting at 3 with the Site guys and Rahat……

K:Oh!

S: Bus?

K:How is the Lower Parel thing.. (normal)

S:Is this going to be another flash point now?

K:I don’t think Rahat or you will give it up

S:How well do you know Rahat? (brittle)

K:Its how well I know YOU!

That was it… he over powered her……

K:Shan.. (hmpphh) what are you doing?

S: You don’t know squat

He made his intentions clear… working on her blouse……….

K: You let me get away… (on the couch)

S:Khanak…….

He stretched out his arms to encase her outstretched ones

His fingers linking with hers………

S: Why do you fear rejection so much……. You just bolt

She looked at him startled……..

K:I

S:If Rahat manages to get a stay on Lower Parel, will you leave me?

K:Whhattt? When? I mean…

Her skin colored quickly as if hiding guilt

S: Do you orchestrate reasons to war with me?

His face was in her neck……….. plundering………….

K:Rahat is?

S:That’s NOT the pint Mrs Gujral………

His legs crushed hers…………. As an audible moan echoed in the room……..

He felt her anklet with his toes……..

His phone rang and vibrated as she stiffened….. without letting go of her, he found it underneath her and powered it off shoving it off the bed………..

K: Your company

Her thought muffled under his onslaught…………

She heard a grunt as she attempted to pull away………..

K: Stay?

He looked down at her

S: It has nothing to do with US

K:You think………..

He folded her fingers on the edge of his tee……

She did not lift it up……….

He did, gripping her fists for her

S:The softest hands….. hard as rock attitude…… (bitter)

K: You mean yours?

He cursed under his breath kissing her

Her fight gave way to fondling and hugging……….

S:I am not leaving until 3 (whiper)

K:Its 11 (complaint)ALREADY

“I know but we have 4 hours” he promised

Bruised and aching her response was ardent…………

Shaan got his way….. he knew Rahat would stall Esteem… he knew Rahat played dirty

He would too……

His wife wouldn’t

She lay on him…………..her right hand gripping his………..

She didn’t admit to anything, he couldn’t please her, some decisions were inevitable

His heart skipped a achy beat……. He brought her back once

Casa del Buena Suerte was mired in its own challenges

He volunteered his time to Rahat and his tribulations

Dad was powerful, he could help in a heartbeat

Khanak would be furious………..

He hugged her tight….. as she stirred in sleep

His work was his Achille’s heel…… he grunted guiltily…….. just as her family was hers…..

Sights and sounds from his work day overwhelmed his sleepy brain……. He vowed to wake her up before he took off….. she would be half asleep ……… or half awake……….but…… he smiled as he began to sleep
