10pm, The den
It's already 6pm, where the hell is this woman ?! Randhir growled getting impatient with every passing minute.
He was lying in his bed, eyes closed, beyond frustrated by his temporary handicap. Having nothing else to do, his mind wandered to the recent events... He still couldn't beleive it, he had jumped in to save her life...trading his own. It was only a miracle that the bullet didn't hit any vital organ... he had jumped in without thinking... with only one thing in mind...saving her ! What scared him most was the fact that he had willingly put his life on line, knowing that he could have died... he had been ready to give up his life for hers, the thought hit him. He had been ready to give up everything to save her, his life along with his goals... his years long hard work... his revenge. He had been ready to throw everything out of the window just so he could save her... Nothing else had mattered...but her.
It was still a foreign feeling for Randhir... caring for someone...caring for someone to the extent of giving up your like for theirs... He sighed. He was not the loving and passionate kind, he was the rough and straight forward kind, he never asked or requested, he ordered and took... yet this little girl had stirred emotions he never knew existed in him... Life had not been easy on him...all he had known ever since he was a kid was eat or be eaten... kill or be killed...He grew up in an environment where there was no such thing as care, affection, love...these were just mere word devoid of sense...naive utopia...hypothetical crap. ...Yeah women threw themselves at him showing their so called affections, but he knew damn well what they all wanted...they were only greedy and materialistic little leech... freeloaders, looking for an easy way up the ladder, using their bodies to get there... Disgusting.
Sanyukta on the other hand...had been something else since the beginning ! The first time he had met Sanayukta he had underestimated her ! Despite the wicked trick she had pulled on him, he had been impressed by her ways...the second time they met, she had spiked his curiosity...From the beginning he had felt a different vibe from her. Since then, their encounters had resulted in the awakening of feelings he were unfamaliar with till now...yes he had been beyond angry at some time, furious at her but there were also times when he had felt warn...cared...happy... he even felt remorse at some point... he had been fascinated with her...her challenging and spitefull nature thrilled him...but above all he had felt alive... like...like life was finally worth living !!! And without them trying to or even wanting to, a connection slowly wired up, linking some part of them together...
Randhir sighed halting his monologue...Great ! Now he sounded like a love sick puppy. Hell he even felt like a love sick puppy waiting for her like this...Despite the nature of his feelings toward her, there was one thing he had a hard time comming to term with... she had a lot of power on him ! and that was revolting !...He hated not being in control... it was a foreign feeling...something he was not used to...he felt out of his territory...and that somewhere scared him !...And the fact that it scared him made him even more angrier !...He was scared because he had started expecting things...something he had stopped doing a long time ago... he knew what expecting meant, it meant leaving the door open for people to hurt you... and the more you expected the harder was the blow if the expectations were not met... He clenched his fist in anger...This Sanyukta had literally turned his world upside down ! ...Him restlessly waiting for her was a proof of her control over him... it felt humiliating...reduced to a love sick puppy...How he hated her... !!!
Enough ! I will not wait for her any longer ! he shouted aggressively.
I did what I had to ! ...I don't care anymore ! he said to himself.
Wrong, a little voice said in his head. You know you care... and you know very well what this is all about...this is about your selfish side wanting her to give all her attention to you...this is you craving for her attention...you wanting to be the center of her world...you wanting her eyes on you only... you wanting her care for you only...you wanting her hands to touch you only...you wanting her for yourself only...at least have the decency to admit it, whispered the voice.
He sighed tiredly turning off the lights, lying on his stomach, he closed his eyes trying to sleep. But sleep was the last on his mind right now.
A couple of minutes later, the door of his room opened.
Who's that ? he barked, without turning his head. Now was not the time to bother him, he really was not in the mood.
No response.
I demanded who's there ? he repeated his question loudly.
Still receiving no response, he turned his eyes toward the entrance of his room. There stood the object of his torment, Sanyukta. She was looking stunning under the moon light, a beautiful sight indeed...he examined her from head to toe, his eyes hungrily taking in her form. She had always stirred raw emotions in him...an uncontrollable want... a burning desire...even the smallest gesture of her turned him on. And seeing her looking as angelic as ever, he wanted only one thing, take her to his bed and do everything his dirty mind wanted to...
But he quickly snapped back to reality... he had to keep his hormones in check...for now.
What are you doing here ? he asked her rudely, glaring at her.
Such a warm welcome came her sarcastic reply. She had expected some tantrums... and she was not disappointed ! The guy was yelling at her as if she had stolen his cookie jar, well at least that's what she would have done if someone had stolen her cookie jar... She sighed and put the shopping bags she had in her hand on the corner of Randhir bed.
Did the doctor came for a check up ? she asked him, ignoring his cold behavior.
No response...more glares... Okeeey...
Did you take your medecines ? she inquired further, gueninly concerned about his well being.
Still no response... more glares and deepened scowl. That's it. !
Stop glaring at me like this ! It's creepy ! ...Like...like you are doing some voodou sh*t on me in your mind, poking needles here and there...and... but she didn't had time to finish her sentence because of the devil rude interuption.
Stop !
What ? asked Sanyukta confused...stop what ?...it's not like she was dancing tango and met a red light in between two steps...
"Just stop and get out !" he said highly annoyed. Sanyuka rolled her eyes, he was not the only one having emotional torment...
"What the hell is your problem ?!" she snapped back.
"YOU ! " he hissed, " You are my problem !"
Right !
She scoffed ! "How original ! Actually you are right ! Blame it on me... Blame it aaall on me while you are at it ! " she said dramatically.
"That anger of yours is seriously getting on my nerves !" she continued "Stop being such a baby !"
"Enough !!!" yelled Randhir.
"Exactly !" cut Sanyukta, like hell she was letting him scare her away ! "Enough of your drama !" she added frowning at him. If he wanted to be a stubborn mule, she was taking a step up and be a stubborn donkey... she decided. ...Or may be the other way around... she corrected herself, sizing up the level of sexiness and glamour between the two animals.
Randhir was fighting off his internal tornado... he was mad at her for leaving him and he was mad at himself for letting her have control over him... which has resulted in him being in a very bad mood... and them arguing at her arrival was not making it any better. In his fit of anger, he took the glass on his night sand and smashed it on the floor "Just leave me alone woman !"
"Am NOT in the mood for your silly games !!!" he hissed.
Sanyukta's eyes grew wide as she looked at him in utter disbelief... Seriously ?!!!...How.VERY.mature ! She sighed... this is definitely not how she had expected things to turn... Hell, at this moment she even questioned her sanity for having feelings for such a primal man ! At the first sign of dissatisfaction or discomfort he was groaning and grunting, throwing and smashing things... barbarian !
But there was something she had seen in her 24 years old life... you didn't need to be similar to be compatible ! She smiled at the thought... hence she made up her mind. If he was not able to express himself in words and behave like a civilized person, she was going to take up the responsibility ! She was going to suck it up, be patient and try to calmly sort out things... for the both of them ! She came here with a purpose, she had spent 3 hours planning it... and she would damned if she went away without doing it !
Besides, she knew she had to stay and face him, in the past every time they fought, they ended up parting ways without solving the matters and it always came back on the plate later only increasing misunderstandings... so she will stay and face him till everything is cleared.
She took a deep breath and confidently marched toward him. Locking hers eyes with his, she poked his chest with her finger "Listen here mister !" she said with authority.
"I dnt know what got you so worked up, but whatever it is, it will have to wait !" she informed him, emphasizing on each word. "...because I spent the past 3 hours planning a surprise for you and I won't let you ruin it !" she added, leaving no room for argument.
"Is that clear ?" she asked raising her eyebrow.
Randhir glared at her the whole time... She was planning a surprise ?... for him ? ...that's why she was late ? he wondered. The warm feeling he has gotten fond of returned and engulfed his whole being...
"IS THAT CLEAR ?" she repeated, louder this time.
She looked so damn hot right now, thought Randhir...when she commended him like that... but hot or not he was always the dominating king, following her orders like that was against his nature. So instead of answering his just glared one last time at her and turned his gaze away from her.
Sanyukta sighed at her devil's stubbornness, at this moment he looked like a child pouting, she smiled at his cuteness...
Looking at his fixated gaze, avoiding her, she couldn't help but add "At least you didn't threw tantrums" she chuckled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Lie down Randhir" she asked him softly ,calling him by his name. "I'll be right back" she planted another kiss on the same cheek, then she took the shopping bags she had come with and walked toward the bathroom, like a boss. Yes like a boss ! Haven't you done it before, when you feel proud or your actions, you start walking as if you own the world, and you imagine some cool song in the background...that was exactly what was Sanyukta feeling at the moment... she had tamed the beast, she was proud of her herself !
Entering in the bathroom, she closed the door behind her and leaned on it taking a deep breath. Nervousness was slowly making its way up. She had spent the whole evening working on every details of this surprise to make it perfect, she had been super excited and damn sure Randhir will love it... but now that it was time for actions, she was having second thoughts. May be it was not such a good idea after all, she thought looking at the shopping bag in her hand. Not only she was doubting her idea but she was also getting nervous with each passing second.
With Randhir's injury and bed rest, her span of choices was not very large and at that time, her idea had sounded perfect...but now that she was actually going to do it, her mind had started to induce itself in complicated statistics and innumerable calculations to measure the smartness of her idea, resulting in a huge mess of confusion... her heart on the other hand, had decided that it was the right time to break the speed limits... Saying that she was nervous, was a huge understatement !
With the mental strength and courage of a little mouse, she took out the red nightie she brought from her shopping bag. She had literally jumped on the clothe when she saw it. It was blood red, with black lace just above and below her breast, making her blossom stand out in a sexy way. She took out her jegging and top and put on the silky material. It reached mid-thigh. Perfect ! She put on a black shorty underneath and looked at her reflection. She looked beautiful no doubt... the doubts were not on her beauty... the doubt were on the devil's reaction... She wanted to do it for him, she wanted to do it right.
Will the devil like it ?... will the devil like her idea at all ? ...She even had spent half an hour watching videos on youtube, she had spent another half practicing it... hoping to do it right. She took a deep sigh. She needed to call Karan, now !
Taking out her mobile phone, she dialed his number.
"Hmm... what do you want this late at night Sanyukta... ?" came Karan's annoyed voice.
"I don't know if I can't do it !" rushed Sanyukta, disregarding his annoyance
"Can't do what... ?" asked Karan tiredly.
"Karan I can't do it !" she repeated not paying attention to his words "... it was your stupid idea, to do something for the devil ! It's all your fault !" she blabbered.
"Sanyukta... " tried again Karan. Apparently she was lost in her own world.
"It was a bad idea, a really really bad idea !" she mumbled. "Look at me... here I am stuck in his bathroom wearing a short nightie drowning in an ocean of nervousness." She complained.
"WHAAAT ?!" Karan shrieked.
"A NIGHTIE ?!... his bathroom ?!!! what the hell are you downing Sanyukta ?!!!" he yelled at her, adorning the big brother's avatar.
"I was joking when I said pleasing him !!! OMG don't do that !" he added, panicking.
"STOP yelling Karan !" Sanyukta hissed at her turn. "Am not going to do that you dumbo !" she clarified.
"Then what the hell are you going to do ? that too in a nightie ?" he demanded.
"Am going to give him a bloody massage !" she answered back.
"A massage ?!" he inquired. "... What kind of massage ?" he asked suspiciously.
Sanyukta groaned at his implications "Not that king of massage MORON !... get your mind out of the gutter !" came Sanyukta's loud whisper. The last thing she wanted was for the devil to barge in the bathroom demanding why she was yelling alone. If he doubted her sanity before, the air would be clarified now...direct one way ticket to mental asylum.
"Stop assuming things idiot, you are not helping... instead you are fueling my anger" She added.
"Riiight, If I am a bother to you why did you call me ?" he retorded.
"Because as my best friend, it is your duty to listen to me bullshit silently without complaining and agreeing with me... and, because you love !" she explained him. "Now if that is settled can we proceed ?" she asked him sweetly.
Karan sighed.
"Of course ! Why did I even asked..." He replied sarcastically. " So tell me what's your problem now ?"
"So as you know Randhir is injured and in his state there was not much we could do... so I thought about giving him a massage... his back is probably stiff and it will help him relax... and well... hmmm we will spend time together..." She disclosed her idea.
"That's a great idea !" he told her. " ... But what I fail to understand is why are you wearing a nightie" Karan pointed out. He baby sister was wearing a nightie and she was going in front of a very handsome man... not that he was gay but even he could say that Randhir was handsome. ... things were bound to happen !
"Leave the nightie alone, why are you stuck on the nightie ?!" she frowned.
Karan chuckled. " So is baby Sanyu scared or something ?" he teased her.
"Am not scared..." she replied like a child. "... just a lil bit nervous" she admitted. "The devil always makes me nervous" she muttered. "Insufferable, loathsome jerk !" she mumbled.
Karan chuckled.
"Baby sis you do know that you are insulting the person for whom you prepared all this, right ?" he couldn't help but smile at his friends antics.
"Whatever...listen baby girl, first of all you don't need me to remind you how sexy you are, secondly, you know the man is already in your pocket... hell his condition is the proof of that !... and finally, don't forget who you are, you are Sanyukta, the best of the best, the one who's not afraid of anything, the one that people look up to, the one that radiates sensuality and confidence. Is that clear of you need a drawing ? He asked after his pep speech.
"Shut up !" she said smiling at her friends speech.
"No I insist, if it is not clear enough for you let me get Tara I'll ask her to draw everything out for you... "
Sanyukta rolled her eyes "Karaaan you are annoying !"
"Yean yeah, I know you love me and you can than me later... go to your poor man, he must be waiting for you" he told her. "In case you have not noticed, it's been 20minutes we are talking..." he informed her
"Whaaat ?!" she panicked. "No no no he is already in a bad mood... shit ! Gotta go Karan, bye love you" she hurried hanging up.
She closed her eyes for a second, took a deep breath and reopened them, she was goin to do it ! She stepped out of the bathroom and heard his voice.
"Finally !"
Sooo she is about to give a massage...now that is going to be really interesting...and that too in a nightie...hmmm i know not very nice of us to stop here but that was all we could manage.
Hope you enjoyed 😊
Love Seerat and Zubi
