CHAPTER 10 - Sweet Surrender
On the telephone:
Purvi: Shreya Daya sir ki koi galti nahi thi. Unke saath aisa kuch hoga kabhi socha bhi nahi tha.
Shreya: Maine bewajah shak kiya unpar. Unhone mujhe kitne call kiye par maine unka ek bhi call uthaya nahi. Bohot buri hu main.
Purvi: Shreya chup kar. Teri jagah agar main hoti toh aise hi react karti. Par ab to tu sacchai jaan gayi hai na? Toh baat karle unse.
Shreya: Haan sahi keh rahi he tu. Accha unse abhi kuch mat bolna.
Purvi: oho! Surprise haan! Accha hai!
Shreya: Chup kar. Chal bye baad me baad karti hoon.
Shreya hung up, got dressed and went to Daya's house. With the spare key, she opened the door and went in. Daya was not home yet. She sat inside waiting for him.
An hour passed but still there was no sign of him. She made herself a cup of coffee and switched on the radio. It was on full volume and the sudden loud voice made her jump. Her coffee cup toppled over, spilling coffee over her shirt and jeans.
'Ouch!', she yelled as hot coffee burned her skin. She ran into Daya's room closing the door and stripped down her clothes.
'Oh no ab kya pehnu main?' she thought. She saw a white formal shirt on his bed. She wore it. It was super huge and long. It ended just above her knees. She stared at herself in the mirror and blushed seeing herself in Daya's shirt.
She kept her jeans to dry in the wash-room and went out in the living room. She cleaned the coffee mess. Just then an earthly fragrance of wet soil wafted into the house. She ran to window to look outside and saw that light rain was falling. The sun was beginning to set. The summer rain indeed gave everyone immense pleasure. It cooled down the scorching summer heat. She opened all the windows.
Just then her favourite song came on the radio. She turned on the speakers to full volume.
Daya was not aware of Shreya's presence at his home. He had decided to meet her the following night. He walked into his house opening the lock and was immediately bombarded with noise. He opened the door just a crack to find Shreya in his living room!
He blinked. He couldn't believe his own eyes. She was dancing around his room and singing along with the stereo, which was blasting music. A huge grin broke out on his face. He stared at her in amazement. She apparently hadn't noticed him yet.
Totally oblivious to his presence, she sang along as she jumped around the room, holding a hairbrush like a microphone. She was clearly enjoying herself.
She was only wearing his shirt and he couldn't help noticing her sexy legs.
He stepped inside the house and stooped a bit low so she wouldn't spot him. When she wasn't looking his way, he went and stood right behind her.
As she stepped backwards, she gently collided into his chest. He supported her to stop her from stumbling. She jumped back in fright, surprised by his sudden appearance.
He supported her to stop her from stumbling and flashed her his famous mischievous grin.
Shreya gave an embarrassed yelp and ran into his wash-room. She felt herself going pink in the face.
In the wash room she closed her eyes tightly looking embarrassed.
'Kitni badi bewakoof hoon main! Daya ne mujhe aise dekh liya... Oh no ab kaise jaun unke samne?' she thought.
She wore her jeans and stood inside the wash-room thinking.
A few minutes later Daya banged the door. 'Shreya itni der se andar kya kar rahi ho? Bahar aao abhi', he said.
She reluctantly opened the door and stole a glance at him. He gave her a naughty smile.
He could distinguish about fourteen different shades of red in her face at that moment and he decided to push her a little further.
She brushed passed him in a haste to get out of the room but he gently caught her wrist.
'Gaana pura khatam nahi hua tha Shreya. Aise beech me kyun chod ke aa gayi', he said.
'Daya wo... Main aise hi...' she muttered unable to speak further.
'Aise hi kya?' asked Daya.
'Mera haath chodo na please Daya', she said not looking at him.
'Mera Shirt bohot accha lag raha hai tumpar', he murmured against her neck as he slid his arms around her waist from behind.
'Daya jaane do na... Please…'she said nervously.
'Nahi', he said tightening his hug.
Daya noticed goosebumps on her skin. He smiled in satisfaction and planted kisses on the nape of her.
'Daya please stop it!' she almost moaned.
'Itna jaldi nahi. Bohot kuch karna hai abhi', he whispered.
'Daya I am sorry. Maine bewajah shak kiya aap ke upar.' she said trying to change the topic.
Daya made her face him. 'Shreya wo sab chodo. Ab iske baare me baat nahi karenge', he said.
She smiled. 'Tum ye batao ki tumne dance adhoora kyu chod diya', he asked.
'Daya phir wohi baat! Aap fresh ho jayein. Hum baad me baat karenge. Main jaa rahi hoon', she said and ran outside before he could catch her.
She sat in his living room happy that he was not angry and that all was well between them. She wanted to forget those past events and start afresh. What could be better day than this? Today, exactly 4 months ago, Daya had barged into her house like a thief. She loved him. She loved the feeling of being loved by him.
She was engrossed in her thoughts so much that she didn't notice his arrival.
He shut the blaring radio and touched her shoulder lightly. She felt tingly inside.
'Dance with me', he said extending his hand.
Shreya took his hand. He wrapped his hands tightly around his waist.
'Sorry, maine uss din party me tumhe dance ke liye invite nahi kiya. Isliye aaj ye special dance tumhare liye', he said.
'Daya it's ok. Main naraz nahin hoon', she said.
He felt her warm breath against his throat. He hugged her closer to his body. There wasn't even an inch of space left between them. He felt her breasts flatten against his body. Desire rang through his veins. But he wanted to advance slowly. He lifted handful of her hair to his nose and inhaled the flowery scent of her shampoo deeply.
She freed herself and started backing off. He took a small step closer to her. She automatically took a step back, and he took another step towards her. They continued like that until her back hit a wall, and he stepped towards her again, looking amused.
'Caught you!' he said laughing.
She turned to face the wall pink in face.
He made her face him and pushed himself onto her. She shivered when she felt him hard against her thigh.
'Daya ye - aahh', she moaned as he pushed his thigh between her legs.
'I want you Shreya', he murmured against her ear.
She wanted to surrender herself to him right at that moment. She could stand it no longer.
He pushed her onto the nearby couch.
She looked into his eyes as he sat next to her. He was staring at her with so much intensity that she thought she would burn under his fiery gaze. He touched her lower lip gently with his thumb.
He put his palm against side of her face. She closed her eyes and leaned her head slightly into his hand. But she did not make any effort to move away. They had certainly not planned this but both wanted it to happen. She felt the ache for him as he ate her up with his seductive looks. He leaned onto her slowly and she melted as his mouth touched her lips. Currents of electricity coursed through her. She quivered slightly.
He pushed her into the cushions of the couch. He pulled her lower lip with his teeth and licked the outline of her lips with his tongue. The stayed in that position for a long time, their lips gently pulling at each other. He left her mouth and travelled to her neck, his favourite spot where he kissed her tenderly and then he bit her. It wasn't very hard, it wouldn't leave a mark but it was enough for her to increase that uncontrollable need for him. He touched his mouth to her throat and licked upwards till her chin.
Their kisses became deeper and longer and more intoxicating.
'I have to taste the rest of you', he insisted pressing his body to her.
Before she could catch her breath or say anything, he lowered his head under her shirt and kissed passionately. A moan escaped her throat. She was feeling dizzy. She really didn't know what the feeling was.
He kissed her lips again and slid his hand under her shirt feeling her soft soft skin underneath.
The feel of his lips against her body was intoxicating and she found that her normally rational mind was completely clouded with lusty thoughts as his thumbs began to trace delicious circles around the hardened nubs forming under his touch. She was making the sweetest sounds and writhing in pleasure.
Very slowly, he undid the buttons on her shirt and slipped it over her shoulders. She watched him silently, breathing a little faster than usual.
'Oh! you are tormenting me!' she whispered breathily.
She pulled his hair to ease the building passion. She loved the way his tongue carried out the tender exploration of her body.
He grasped her hands and brought them up to his chest, prompting her to unbutton his shirt.
With trembling hands she removed his shirt which revealed his well chiselled chest. Colour flooded her cheeks seeing him shirtless.
He planted a trail of kisses on her arm. Her body quivered as he rubbed gently on her stomach unzipping her jeans at the same time. He pulled her jeans down massaging her toned legs sensuously.
'Tum thik ho na?' he asked her seeing her tremble so much.
She merely nodded.
He pulled a blanket lying on the floor over them to keep them warm. They leaned against each other as they huddled onto the small couch.
He undid his clothes and almost ripped off her inners. She whimpered against his chest as he pushed himself inside her.
Wails of pleasure filled the room. She dug her nails into his back crying out his name. The tension was so sharp that the room darkened around her. She felt exquisite pleasure radiating through her entire body. When they finished, she was barely aware that Daya was stroking her gently.
'Shreya tumhe dard toh nahi ho raha na? I am sorry lekin main apne aap ko rok nahi paya', he said.
'Daya nahi,Main thik hu' whispered shreya still shivering.
He reversed their positions and she lay on top of him. His fingertips traced along her spine gently until she relaxed.
'Shreya dobara mujse dur jane ki koshish bhi mat karna. Main tumse apni jaan se bhi jyada pyar karta hu', he said.
'Sorry Daya... Bohot badi galti kar di maine... Ye dubara kabhi bhi nahi hoga', she said kissing each of his fingertips.
They lay in silence, enjoying peaceful company of each other.
'Mujhe bhook lagi hai', said Shreya after some time.
'Haan itni calories jo burn ki hai abhi abhi', Daya said laughing.
'Daya app kitne besharam hai', said Shreya hitting his arm.
'Are maine kya kiya? Main toh dance ki baat kar raha tha! Dance karne se calories burn nahi hoti kya? Waise tumhe kya laga main kis baare me baat kar raha hu?' he said smiling.
'Daya you are impossible!' said Shreya.
He gave her a warm kiss.
'Chalo ab dinner kar lete hai. Yahi order karte hai. Aur aaj tum yahi rahogi mere saath.' said Daya.
'Kya yaha? Par main kaise? Aur kisiko pata chal gaya toh wo kya sochenge?' she said.
'Tumhe koi problem nahi hai na?' asked Daya.
'Nahi', she answered.
'Bas phir baat khatam. Logon ke baare me sochna chod do. Hum ek dusre par trust karte hai utna kaafi hai. Aur hame saath me rehna hai. Aur kisiko nahi', said Daya.
She smiled. 'Okay!'
Both got dressed and the doorbell rang. Daya opened the door to find Muskaan standing there.
'Tum? Yaha kyu aayi ho? Dekho Muskaan ab sab thik ho gaya. Please aisa kuch bhi mat karo jisse Shreya phirse hurt ho jaye', he said.
Shreya had arrived behind him.
'Daya mujhe Shreya se baat karni hai', said Muskaan.
'Lekin kyun? Uss din jo kuch bhi kehna tha sab kab diya tumne. Aur kya chahiye?' said Daya impatiently.
'Uss din ka chodo. Mujhe abhi usse baat karni. Bohot important hai', said Muskaan.
'Par...' Daya started.
'Daya ek minute. Muskaan please andar aao.' said Shreya.
Daya gave Shreya a surprised look.
'Tum kya baat karna chahti thi mujhse?' asked Shreya.
Muskaan: Actually aaj main kuch confess karne aayi hoon.
Shreya: Confess? Kya?
Muskaan: Tumhare aur Daya ke bich jo kuch bhi differences aaye the abhi wo meri wajah se the.
Shreya: Kya matlab? Main kuch samjhi nahi.
Muskaan: Mujhe Daya ki bimaari ke baare me pehle se hi pata tha. Ek din hum dono crime scene par investigate kar rahe the tab achanak Daya bohot ajeeb behave karne laga. Wo mujhe pehechan nahi pa raha tha. Phir achanak use chakkar aa gayi aur wo behosh ho gaya. Baad me use us incident ke baare me kuch bhi yaad nahi tha. Maine uss waqt usse ye baat chupayi. Meri ek friend brain surgeon hai. Usse maine baat ki tab pata chala Daya ki bimari ke baare me. Mai bohot pareshan ho gayi thi. Main Daya ko sab batane wali thi lekin maine tum dono bureau me ek saath dekh liya. Un baaton me woh sab use batana bhul gayi.
Phir uss din party jab Daya ne mujhe dance ke liya invite kiya tab mujhe pata chala ki wo phirse sab bhool gaya hai. Isliye maine socha ye mauka haath se jane nahi dena chahiye. Maine use kaha ki tumne use dhokha diya hai aur aaj sahi waqt hai tumse badla lene ka. Maine use saara plan bataya. Phir mera ek khabri jaan bhujkar tumhare saamne aaya. And my plan worked! Tumne akele use follow kiya. Ab aage toh tum sab jaanti ho.
Shreya: Kya? I don't believe it Muskaan. Tum ye kaise kar sakti ho?
Daya: Tumne mere bimari ka fayda uthaya. Sachme Muskaan tum iss level tak jaa sakti ho mujhe nahi pata tha.
Muskaan: Main pagal ho rahi thi Daya. Aur baki log bhi tumhari side le rahe the. Abhijeet, Tarika, Purvi sab Shreya ko support kar rahe the.
Daya: Accha hi kiya. Tumhe support karte toh na jane kya hota.
Muskaan: Mujhe haarna pasand nahi hai Daya. Mujhe Shreya ne haaraya iss baat se jyada dukh ho raha tha. Shayad tum sahi kehte the. Hamare bich kabhi pyar tha hi nahi. Humne dosti ko pyar samaj liya shayad. Kyuki tum Shreya se pyar karte ho ye baat maine easily accept kar li thi. Lekin Shreya ne mera ego hurt kiya tha isliye sirf badla lena tha mujhe usse.
Shreya: I know maine tumhe hurt kiya hai. I am once again sorry for that. Lekin ye tumne thik nahi kiya Muskaan.
Muskaan: Jaanti hu. Isliye jaane se pehle tumse baat karna chahti thi. Sab confess karna chahti thi.
Daya: Kaha jaa rahi ho tum?
Muskaan: Maine transfer lene ka faisla liya hai. Mujhe acceptance letter bhi mil gaya hai. Kal last day hai mera bureau me.
Shreya: What? Nahi Muskaan main nahi chahti ki tum meri wajah se transfer lo...
Muskaan: Nahi. Trust me aisi koi baat nahi hai.
Meri family bhi Kolkatta me hai isliye mai waha jaana chahti hu. Aur mera man nahi lagega yaha par.
Shreya: Lekin mujhe abhi bhi lag raha hai tum meri wajah se jaa rahi ho.
Muskaan: Main yahi kahungi Shreya ki mere man me koi hard feelings nahi hai. Hum kabhi shayad acche dost nahi ban sakenge par jo kuch bhi hua uske liye main tumse naraj nahi hu.
Shreya: Thank you. Atleast ab guilt nahi rahegi mere man me.
Daya: Thanks Muskaan. Main firse sorry kehta hu. I am sure tumhari zindagi me jaroor koi hoga jise tum deserve karti ho.
Muskaan: Thanks Daya. Aur main tumse naraj nahi hu please baar baar sorry mat kaho. Accha ab main chalti hu. Saari packing karni hai. Bas tumse baat karni thi. Mujhe pata tha Daya tumhare saath hi hoga. Isliye yaha chali aayi.
Shreya: Baat karke accha laga. Lekin itni jaldi kya hai. Coffee to pikar jao.
Muskaan: Nahi phir kabhi plan karenge. Abhi bohot kaam pending hai. Chalti hu.
Meanwhile Daya got a call and he went aside to take it.
'Shreya tum bohot lucky ho sach me! Daya bohot pyar karta hai tumse. Maine dekha hai uski aakhon me wo gham jab tum usse naraj thi.' said Muskaan.
'Haan janti hu. ', said Shreya.
'Aur pata hai mere plan ki wajah se wo tumhare jyada kareeb aa gaya hai. Mujhe kabhi bhool mat jana Shreya. Meri wajah se aaj Daya tumhare saath hai', said Muskaan laughing.
Shreya didn't know what to say. She only nodded. Was Muskaan really happy with their relationship or she was merely acting? It was hard to tell.
Daya returned.
'Okay bye guys! Kal bureau me milte hai! Aur haan Shaadi me mujhe jaroor invite karna!' said Muskaan smiling.
'Haan jaroor invite karunga!' said Daya.
Muskaan bid them goodbye and left. When Daya returned after shutting the door, he found Shreya sitting on the bed with a sad face.
'Shreya kya hua? Itni sad kyun ho? Ab sab thik ho gaya na?' he said holding her hand.
'Pata nahi Daya... Muskaan ne jo kuch kaha wo dil se tha bhi ya nahi. Aise lag raha tha wo mujhe bohot jyada hate karti hai. Mai ye nahi seh sakti. Aaj tak meri wajah se kisiko itna dukh nahi hua hai kabhi bhi', she said stifling a sob.
'Jab main waha nahi tha tab Muskaan ke kuch kaha tumse?' he asked.
'Nahi... Kuch nahi', she said.
'Ab mat socho uske baare me. Accha hua wo jaa rahi hai yaha se', he said.
'Daya aapko nahi lagta na ki main galat hu? Meri wajah se aapka aur Muskaan ka rishta toot gaya?', she asked.
'Kya bol rahi ho tum? Tum galat nahi ho. Aur Muskaan aur mere beech hamesha dosti ka hi rishta raha hai', he said.
Shreya hugged him. 'Bas mujhe kabhi kabhi dar lagta gai', she said.
'Kis baat ka? Maine tumhe kabhi door nahi karunga apne aap se. Aur Muskaan hamara kuch nahi kar sakti. Aur jab main hun tumhare saath to kyu dar rahi ho tum?', he said.
'Nahi... Main thik hoon. Kuch jyada emotional ho gayi thi' she said.
He kissed her forehead and looked into her eyes cupping her face. 'Pakka thik ho?' he asked.
'Haan', she said smiling.
'Chalo phir ye sab chodo. Bohot bhuk lagi hai. Pizza order kar leta hoon, he said.
Few years later-
'Papa meri goodnight kiss!' came a voice of a 5 year old girl.
Daya smiled at propped himself on his elbow.
'Are haan meri princess main toh bhool hi gaya tha!' said Daya kissing her on both cheeks.
'Chalo ab jaldi se so jao. Warna Kal uthne me late ho hai', he said.
'Yess papa', she said.
Shreya smiled seeing them both and sat beside Daya.
'Papa aap mumma ko bhi goodnight kiss dete ho har roz?'
'Haan sweetheart', said Daya. 'Par thodisi alag', he whispered in Shreya's ear and brushed his lips lightly against hers.
'Daya aap uske saamne?' said Shreya pushing him away.
'Shreya wo so gayi!' said Daya pointing at their daughter who had already closed her eyes.
Shreya smiled.
'To ab hum bhi so jate hai', she said.
'Itni bhi kya jaldi hai Shreya? Abhi bohot time hai sone ke liye. Pehle thoda naughty ho jate hai', said Daya.
Shreya laughed and kissed his cheek.
He took her in his arms lovingly and she snuggled closer to him.
It had been seven years of their togetherness and destiny had showered them with lots of happiness.
True, their Ties of love were strong enough to stand through the most turbulent storms!
