Robbed

She extended an arm and went to touch hischeek, and balled her hand into a fist as it almost touched it, he alwayssmelled so good, like some unknown fragrance… sage, pine, or bergamot or birch.He reeked of class and style. She usually didn’t give such men a second look…ever

He watched stunned, and he held her wristfirmly, Letting out a slow agonized gasp

“Viveka” he growled adding a “Ahh!” atthe end… as if she had robbed him of his life and soul and being, He had said her name privately many times, hehad no idea the first time he would say it out loud would be to her

Such a beautiful name. He had read someplace that we become the name that’s given to us.

Boy did she..

The most gorgeous woman he had ever met,way out of his league, miles smarter than him, intellectually they were galaxies apart.

He ached for her

the unexpected call out, the way he said hername possessively sent her over the edge, A delinquent sob escaped her throat

“Not here” he said his tone holding a promise, it sent a wave of soaringpleasure still holding her wrist firmly

“I am sorry” she apologized

“Don’t” he said quietly

He stood there quietly until herbreathing calmed down, her eyes were closed, his grip was firm yet gentle, thewell groomed fingers wrapping around her slender wrist like they always knewhow

“I am fine” she smiled taking a long deepbreath

“Good” he said softly like he cared,slowly releasing her wrist

“Are you going back in?” he asked

“I am the cousin” she smiled weaklyleaning back on the wall

Her phone beeped

It was Abhishek “Bata kidhar hai mainaata hoon” he sent a wink

“I am walking back to the hall” shetexted “A-Kar” she finished

He tried not to look at her phone

He stepped away

She turned to walk away in the oppositedirection

“That was unexpected and awkward” shesaid displaying a maturity befitting her name

“It doesn’t matter” he leaned on the wallhis arms across his chest, one foot up on the wall

“Hope you enjoyed the engagement” shesmiled quietly playing the perfect hostess

“I got here 20 minutes ago”

“the food should be awesome, its anauthentic cook from Bareilly or cooks” she said playing tour guide

“Have you eaten?” he asked

She turned red at the possessive concern

“Umm. No… my parents are eating”

His eyes danced with amusement as a retortformed in his head “So only two per family are allowed to eat?”

“I mean I could eat too but I was too tired after dancing” she said

He nodded, she began to wave and stopped

He hoped she would ask him to go back with her and they would eat together, he felt like a lucky ba---rd tonight, she had unwittingly opened her composed façade a tiny crack and allowed him to glance at the emotional fiery being inside. He had a private box view to her soul. She was not out of reach unattainable for those few minutes, she was right here in flesh and blood and sentiment.

His Mom was crazy to hand craft a shiny, lab created thoroughbred women, who were waiting for the right billionaire husband that Daddy would buy for them

Just look at Viveka Mathur!!

He exhaled watching her walk away

She would tell him about every dish, and how it was made

He would tell her why he is going to Singapore every week

He imagined going home with her and making sensuous love to her, comforting her in his arms, treating her like she was Kalyani, protecting her and pampering her

But she would go home with Abhishek.. tohis place

The man has lost it to the woman who is out of his league. I love that she is considered out of his league based on smarts and not money. Will she go home with Abhishek?

Whatever possessed her to want to touch him... but her action and his reaction made me feel they're in a sort of bubble! Insulated from the world and its craziness.. from the Abhisheks and Smritas around them!


Loved it that he simply told her Not here instead of questioning her... this was, in a way, the first step she took towards him.

Loved him for enquiring if she ate..


She would tell him about every dish, and how it was made

He would tell her why he is going to Singapore every week

He imagined going home with her and making sensuous love to her, comforting her in his arms, treating her like she was Kalyani, protecting her and pampering her

One day, this too would happen and maybe, he would then recall how he used to fantasize about her.

SPOT ON!

he is in love so he is butt hurt she took a swipe at his Mom

Isnt that always the case, agar HAMEY KHUD KO lagta hai hum badal gaye to SABKO SAB KUCH bhool jaana chahiye😃


True that! And I can't really blame him..

At some moments, when I find him so earnest and wistful for her, even I wish that all is forgotten and forgiven! That she'd just give him one chance.. bas! That'd be all he'd need..

Until I remember Naina-Inder or Smrita-Anu and all those early encounters. And then I'm like.. go girl! Don't give in until you make him eat his own words!

Book Parties, Bespoke & Birch

SHE had wanted him to kiss her in thehallway… Wow! WOW! Wow… He floated the rest of the night and the next dayreimagining how her hand had reached out to caress his cheek

“So she does feel something for me”

“God! How can I kiss her in a publichallway?” The idea is sleazy at a minimum

He clenched his teeth walking back intothe banquet

She was nowhere to be found

An hour or so later, he spotted her onthe stage when he made his way up there to wish Piyush so he could get out

An hour at an event for Parashars was 45 minutes over the time limit they spent atacquaintances’ family events. Dhamijas and Shrivastavs were tangled in the gem,and pearl business now and so there was more than a friendship, a buddingprofessional involvement

If media was around then they usuallychecked out as fast as they could. There was some local cable network, becausethey had been invited to cover the event

He stayed back to catch another glimpseof the woman that drove him crazy

He did not notice her among the crowd ofpeople wishing the couple

They got off and Raanav and Vivekaremained, Varsha stepped down to go talk to her mother

“Dadi ko chhod degi kya?”

“What day is it today, is it her turn togo to Rohini she asked

Unaware Raanav stood behind her

“Dekh yaar meri Nani ko kidnap kar rahihai” he waved and shook hands with Raanav

Viveka turned to stare at him right inthe eyes

“Gee whiz! You have a lawyer who can takeup your case” Viveka laughed mocking Piyush

That was indeed a good one, Raanav actuallysmiled

“Abhi gayi yaar neeche, ja… sis in lawlekar aa…”

“I have to go home” she mumbled

“Isko le ja aur milwa de” Piyushsuggested

“Meri sister ka haath pakad le, you getlost in the crowd man!!” Piyush laughed

“I have to go I am not doing it”

Piyush pulled a sparkly bobby pin off herhair arrangement

“STOP DOING that… you are married now”Viveka “Uffed” and got off the stage

“Papa ko bol, who lekar aayenge Nani ko”he waved

“sure”

“Unko koi GDP ki kahani suna thapp se sojaayengi” he laughed when she was far enough

She turned around and glared

“Ive argued with him, he didn’t sleep…”she waved at Raanav

“True” Raanav nodded

Please don’t go yet… he thought

“Tera boy friend kidhar hai?”

“yahin kahin” she said suddenly awkward

“Tum dono ek doosre ke sleeping pills ho”

“It got old… dude” she scowled when hecracked the same joke with a twist

“Good to see you” she smiled politely atRaanav

He nodded sadly

No sign of anything between them on herface

He was back to being a random hanger onat Bua’s

The men began talking

Abhishek wanted her to go to his place ashis Dad was in Mumbai for two nights

“I cant Dadi ko ghar lekar jaana hai”

“To chhodkar aa ja… Rohini se Vikaspuriis not 100 km dude” he insisted

Just caressing her bare arms with hisfinger tips

She had a natural heterosexual reaction

“this” close to giving in to her desireand doing that

“My parents are not home either… I guessI could”

“DOOD you are not 18… 18 bhi hoti totujhe main batata tha” he grinned

“I am sure you would”

“Chal na” he begged

“We could have hung out when I rested mylegs”

“OMG… a bunch of students yaar” despitebeing so accomplished she realized she ended up feeding him lies about thingshe wanted to hear, celebrating his petty victories

“Well they probably got too excited tosee their Lecturer, they must have wanted u to cancel test… or something”

“Godd… thak gaya hoon” he shook his headpretending to be tired of the attention

On the contrary he was basking in it sherealized

“Aaja I will be up” he promised

“That’s not suggestive at all” shelaughed

“Dudee”

“I cant… leave Dadi alone” she said witha sigh

She picked up Dadi and went home

Dadi did not need any GDP lectures shewas knocked out in minutes

Viveka thought about why she was unable to express her hurt andanger at being left alone to Abhishek

Why did he not even see it?

How do you get mad at someone who doesn’teven know what they did?

“I have such an urgent need to be liked and loved I am clutching on to him”she cursed out loud clenching the steering

“Is it because Naina has one that I feel compelled to be in a relationship even tho I feel so let down by him? Why am Inot able to truly connect with him without feeling like a fraud?

Unlike her research scholar friends she never had an era of lot of dates… her life was filled with decadent book parties, and late nights at some playwright or author’s tastefully decorated Munirka apartment, tables laden with booze and desi Chinese or take out paav bhaji as they animatedly discussed ways to restore economic prosperity in India

No sophisticated men in bespoke shirts smelling like birch

Her stomach did a somersault

What must he think!!

Cringe!!

She shut her eyes

A series of loud honking and ma behen ki gaalis and an awake Dadi yelling in choicest UP Hindi later she realized she must never shut her eyes and think about the Parashar kid

He will be my ruin… for sure☺️

She sighed with a “uff” and shoving ofglasses
