Part 10
Laila: It was Razia who planned this Bachelor's party for you!
***
Razia sat on the floor in her dressing room, with all her collection of magazines, newspaper cuttings, etc. of Iqtiaar as she caressed them again and again with a smile on her lips and silent tears falling down her face.
Flash 1: Iqtiaar: I don't love you! He blasted on her face.
The cruel memory from her engagement night rang in her ears and she shivered clutching on to the photos in her hand tightly. She put them back in the last shelf of her cupboard and slowly walked out of her dressing room towards the sliding door to her room terrace. She held herself with her arms around her slim torso against the cool winds flowing into her room. The curtains swinging on to her face caressing her beautiful soft cheeks. As she removed them from her face using her left hand, her eyes fell on the beautiful solitaire diamond ring in her ring finger which had been there for the last two days.
The ring had suddenly started feeling too heavy on her delicate finger, just like his dominance. Her mind travelled back to the events during the day where though she fought back brave with the pain in her heart, she had tried her best to give herself and her full commitment to her relationship. Just to see him happy and not guilty. She loved him no matter what. Their relationship was too personal to have been shared with any third personal, like he had said. She couldn't have let others notice Iqtiaar Ud-din Mallik seem uneasy and guilty about any damn thing in this world. She could never have him look weak and insecure about their relationship in front of others. She knew how much his self respect was important to him. Still god knows how much he must have prepared himself to say sorry to her; that too in the Dargaah when they both knew it was simply impossible for him. She felt awful at herself. She wanted her man to be strong at all times; never to be in a situation where he had to rethink about his actions or to feel guilty about them. And she had made him feel exactly like that. She wanted to divert his mind off her and their problems so that he could feel happy and peaceful. And she had got the perfect opportunity for it when she met JY in the Dargah and got to know about the bachelor party which was still to be planned.
Flashback 1:
JY: Fine! don't listen to us. But be at this address sharp at 10 pm in the evening. He said making Iqtiaar hold a piece of paper which looked something like an entry pass to a pub or club, and left with Zaroon leaving Iqtiaar standing there shocked.
Iqtiaar: I am not going anywhere!!! he murmured and threw the pass away on to the ground.
Razia stood there as she saw Iqtiaar walk away absolutely pissed off and went to see the contents of the paper he had so easily thrown off. She picked up the paper which looked like a pass for the entry to a night club. She tried to hide it away from the elders knowing exactly what the guys had been planning and slowly walked up to JY who was standing next to a tree.
Flashback 2:
Razia and JY stood next to the tree with JY introducing the group to Razia.
JY: And Iqtiaar, well your fianc, is DONNY.
Razia: DONNY? She had a shocked expression on her face with her eyebrows shot up and her lips forming an O'.
JY: yeah Donny. Didn't you know?
Razia shook her head for a no with her mouth still open wide.
JY: well it's a secret then. Don't let anyone know. Alright?
Razia: Promise. She said swearing on herself with her right hand pinching on her neck.
JY made Razia come closer and whispered the secret in her ear which made Razia laugh uncontrollably.
Razia: Okay, So now I have a better understanding as to why you gave Iqtiaar This! She said holding out the entry pass in front of JY which made his eyes go wide out of horror as he stared at Razia completely shocked.
Razia on the other hand looked at him with a wide grin on her face.
Razia: Why do you look so scared? I am not gonna eat you up.
JY: ah! Actually...
Razia: Don't you dare try and lie to me. She said playfully. And it's absolutely fine with me if you guys wanna have some fun. JY smiled sighing to himself.
JY: you scared me.
Razia: so what's plan? Don't worry I am not gonna gate crash your party.
JY: well honestly there isn't any plan yet.
Razia: What do you mean?
JY: well the thing is that I landed this morning and didn't have enough time to plan anything. Therefore I was talking to Laila if we could do something.
Razia suddenly excited. Razia: I have a plan.
JY: WHAT?
Razia: yes!
JY: But would Donny even come? Didn't he throw this pass?
Razia looked over her shoulder slightly to see Iqtiaar standing in the Dargaah boiling to see her with JY and whispered: He would for sure come.
Flashback 3:
JY walked upto Laila who stood in the Ladies room of the pub and handed the phone to her.
Laila: JY I don't think I can do this.
JY: Don't worry and talk to Razia. She's on the phone. She'll explain everything to you.
Laila took over the phone and JY exited the room.
Laila: Hello?
Razia: Hi Laila; Razia this side.
Laila: Oh hi Razia! Good to hear from you... but are you sure you really want to go ahead with this?
Razia: Yes, I am hundred percent sure. So let me explain everything to you. She went on to explain her with everything, right from the dresses to her makeup, shoes, the environment of the pub and the lights which she had already explained to JY and all. Don't worry Laila, just be easy around him. Just forget that he's your friend Donny this evening and concentrate more on the woman in you. And I know you'll rock.
And that's when the fear in Laila completely vanished. She kept smiling as Razia tried her best to make Laila feel comfortable and relaxed with what she was going to do.
Laila: you rock Razia. You really do. I will never be able to do what you are doing. In fact, I may just kill my would be husband if I see him like how Donny would be tonight. Don't you feel insecure?
Razia smiled to herself: I love him.
Laila: that one answer made Laila's inside cry out for Razia. Laila knew Iqtiaar's take on love and felt helpless towards Razia as she knew she would never be able to convince Iqtiaar to love her back. He just didn't believe in it. And nobody knew why?
Razia disconnected the phone and closed her eyes.
Flashback ends!
Razia kept standing next to her room terrace recalling the memories from her day when she heard a loud noise of her father shouting.
Razia: four more days. She reminded herself so as to be able to remain calm as she silently walked back to bed and got into the duvet closing her eyes listening to her parents fight. At least her day didn't go that bad. She had Iqtiaar happy and enjoying himself with his friends tonight and that was enough to make her relaxed for the night.
***
Iqtiaar stood there shocked as Laila told him about Razia planning the party with the other three standing at a fair distance from him.
JY: She didn't want you to know this. But I guess it was necessary for you to know. He said calmly.
Iqtiaar: I need to see her. He said in a low voice.
Zaroon: Miya it's too late, I think we should go back home right now.
Iqtiaar: I said I need to see her RIGHT NOW. He said in a little louder through his gritted teeth.
Zaroon: Miya...
Iqtiaar: RIGHT NOW!!! He shouted.
JY: OKAY! I'll take him.
Laila: What? Have you both gone mad?
JY: Laila please, try and understand. He whispered not wanting Iqtiaar to hear.
Laila: What do you want me to understand? Do you have any idea what time it is? And none of you are in your senses, you both are DRUNK for your kind information.
JY: Then you drive!
Laila: What the hell!
Iqtiaar: I am going. He announced the final verdict and walked off outside. Zaroon followed to make sure Iqtiaar was okay.
JY: Now will you please come?
Laila: What the hell is wrong with him? She said completely irritated with Iqtiaar's attitude.
JY smiled at her: He's in love.
***
The four of them reached Khan Residence with Laila driving, Iqtiaar next to her and Jamal and Zaroon at the back. The moment the car came to a halt, Iqtiaar got out of the car walking towards the main door. JY got out and rushed to him.
JY: Donny! Donny! Donny! Where are you going?
Iqtiaar: To meet my fianc, where else?
JY: Exactly! She's still your fianc and not your wife. JY cleared the facts right.
Iqtiaar: So?
JY: So don't expect her parents to be okay with you meeting their daughter at 2: 00 am. And by what I can see, (he pointed towards the switched on lights in main hall visible through the curtains) they are still up.
Iqtiaar: I don't care, I need to see her.
JY: there are other ways to do that.
JY grabbed hold of Iqtiaar's left arm and dragged him towards the back side of the bungalow, before the watchman could see them.
JY: Do you know which one's her room?
Iqtiaar: No idea! I've just been once in her room that too from the FRONT DOOR. He said taunting.
JY: Still you would have some kind of an idea?
Iqtiaar: May be it's that one. She had a room terrace to her room. So I am guessing.
JY: And what if all rooms in their house have one?
Iqtiaar: THEN I DON'T KNOW! He shouted.
JY: Shhh!!!!
JY: I guess it should be that one; the lights are switched off in there. You'll need to climb the pipe and go up.
Iqtiaar: What the hell!
JY gave Iqtiaar an expression like "you asked for it!"
Iqtiaar without another word started to climb the pipe to Razia's room with JY looking around to make sure nobody sees them. As he reached the room terrace, he jumped off the stone railing with the pearl white curtains with a slight pink shade to them, flowing in and out as the wind blew in her room. He slowly walked in the almost dark room only to be lighted a little with the moon light coming in and some floating white candles accented with rose petals kept in front of a huge white princess like bed with similar pearl white cum pink curtains falling on all sides.
Iqtiaar (self thought): Did she really sleep with these candles every day? He smiled at her cuteness.
But the moment he turned his face towards the angel sleeping securely protected by the shield of white transparent curtains, his mouth went dry. His lips formed a cute little o' as he forgot to even breathe for that split second. The curtains gave a different perspective to her beauty. She looked even more pure and serene than ever before. The shield of curtains attracted him even more to her as he felt her untouched and just for him. There was this strange urgency to see her face without any barrier in front of him; an urgency to feel her virgin skin under his palm and ... LIPS. He wanted to caress her, kiss her soft cheeks which had a slight pink blush on them even when she slept. But more than any of that, he wanted to apologize to her for everything which had made that smile leave her sweet plum lips.
He slowly moved further towards the bed and removed the curtains out of his sight using his left hand to see his angel sleeping facing the other side of the room. He quietly settled himself next to her and leaned a bit over her from the back to get a clear view of her innocent face. Razia had her eyes tightly shut, her hands fisting in her white blanket as she held it almost covering her face.
Iqtiaar (self thought): She looks scared but of what?
His eyes fell on a strand of her hair blocking his view as it had been caressing her face. Iqtiaar moved his hand to remove it out of his view. But before he could do anything a loud noise of something breaking was heard which made Razia immediately turn and hug him. Even before he could fathom anything about the unexpected horrifying noise, the shock to find his angel tightly clutching to his upper torso gripped him. His breath was caught in between and his whole body froze at its place. The only thing he could feel were her soft hands fisting on to his black see-through shirt digging her nails in to his flesh on the back as she pulled him more towards herself. He could feel her warm breath in the hollow of his neck and her lips on his color bone. It wasn't long before she even slid her legs in between his, her thigh almost touching his hardened manhood. It took him a great deal of self control so as to not allow his hands to fist in her long lustrous hair or to rip her kurti off to feel her velvet skin under his palms.
Razia on the other side was dead scared as she exactly knew what that noise must be. She still had her eyes tightly shut.
Razia: four more days! Four more days! She kept whispering to herself, her lips moving against Iqtiaar's skin near his color bone.
But it wasn't long before she realized that the thing' against her lips didn't feel soft and cool like her pillow which she had been thinking to have hugged. Rather it felt extremely warm or rather HOT and rock solid. She moved her face a bit away to get the SHOCK of her life to find HER in HIS ... ARMSSS!!!!
She was about to shout forgetting the damn fear, when his strong hand covered her mouth pinning her to the bed and himself on top of her!
Iqtiaar: Shhh! He whispered against her lips with only his hand acting as a barrier. And God! How she wished he wouldn't take it off.
He expected her to wriggle and try to escape away from his arms, but she didn't move an inch. Just her deep eyes locked with his as if she exactly knew what he wanted to do feeling her soft bosom heaving below his hard chest.
He slowly removed his hand off her mouth and she didn't say a word; just her eyes, full of anger looking straight into his, speaking volumes.
Iqtiaar: I... he started but Razia immediately turned her face away on her right side.
He was drunk and she could just not tolerate that smell right in front of her face. Fine it was expected that he would be drunk as tonight was his bachelor party. But it wasn't expected that he would be here, celebrating it with her, in her room, on her BED! Why the hell was he here? That too like this! He had literally settled himself on her, his hands around her wrists next to her shoulders, his chest pressing on to her breasts, his muscular abs pushing on to her soft belly and well yes! how could she ignore, his hardened manhood on her abdomen. She was mad at him. Wasn't saying all that on their engagement night enough for him, that he had come to her room at night?
HE DIDN'T LOVE HER! And she had ACCEPTED it! Then why was he making her feelings for him come out into the light breaking the shell? Well yes, she was MAD at him and she really wanted him to leave Right Now!
She was still looking away disgusted with that smell of the alcohol and totally mad at him for breaking into her room at the middle of night without her consent when she felt his desperate hot lips dipped in alcohol on her left cheek.
Iqtiaar: I wanted to say something to you. He said as he placed a small kiss on her cheek.
Razia: you don't have...
Iqtiaar: Shhh! I am not going to SAY or DO anything that I don't WANT to. So don't you dare stop me! He said moving down towards her jaw planting kisses throughout.
Razia started to feel dizzy and fisted her hands which were in his hold next to her head on the pillow.
Razia: But...
Iqtiaar: Why didn't you come to the party when JY and Laila invited you? He said moving towards her neck still nibbling on her skin.
Razia: Ah! A moan escaped her lips.
Iqtiaar: Answer me!
Razia: I didn't want to spoil your mood. She managed to answer back.
Iqtiaar: I want the truth. His voice had suddenly become hoarse and he gave an open mouth kiss in the hollow of her neck while saying this.
Razia: Hmm. She closed her eyes as another moan escaped and there was no way left for her to escape this torture.
Iqtiaar: Wasn't it because you couldn't bear to see me dancing with someone else that too in my bachelor party?
Razia: NO! A firm reply came.
Iqtiaar bit her on the neck giving her, her first love-bite demanding the truth from her. But she couldn't take it anymore. She managed to get one of her hands out of his hold and fisted in his hair pulling his face away, looking straight in his eyes.
Razia: It doesn't matter to me anymore Mr. Mallik. She lied. And I hope you would have enjoyed your party tonight, or if still anything's left, go and enjoy with them. Let me sleep peacefully. Her voice was firm and her eyes were spitting fire.
Iqtiaar: I didn't want to say all that to you that night. He said in a low voice expressing his guilt. I wanted to explain, discuss our future together and plan it. I can never want to hurt you. Believe me Razia, just once! He begged for forgiveness.
A drop of tear escaped her eye as she closed her eyes trying to control her sobs.
Razia: Just go away! She whispered in the lowest audible voice.
Shame was clearly written on the face of otherwise a ruthless man. Iqtiaar bent down to kiss her on the corner of her lips before moving away from her and leaving the room from the same way, he had used to enter.
