She was ready to leave for her home. Since they woke up, she was not able to be as comfortable with him as the previous day. Their closeness in the night was flickering in front of her eyes every now and then. She suddenly has become very conscious about herself. Fixing her hair every now and then.. she wanted to look her best in front of him. She was wishing that he takes notice of her.. like a woman. As for him.. it seems his heart was beating much faster. He was trying to be as normal with her as the previous day ... but the fact is.. he was feeling much attracted towards her.
" So , when are you coming to visit me now ?? i came to your place..now its your turn..isn't it??" ..she said to him. This was the invitation he was secretly hoping to get. " Sure..whenever you call me.." and he gave her his naughtiest smile. She felt a gush of warmth in her cheeks and ears..she blushed deep red...although she tried not too."Why he smiled like that to me??..Was he not sleeping that time??..Has he read my mind or what??..Am i being that obvious??" So many questions started floating in her mind. She brushed them aside and said.." Tomorrow?? at dinner??" " Ya sure.. will you be cooking?? " He smiled again. " I 'll help mom.." she said hurriedly. She wanted to leave as soon as possible. He was making her too conscious..and she didn't want him to realize that.
The next day, she came early from her college. She was trying to be as normal as she can the whole day ..but the last night was like stuck in her thoughts.. she was really feeling strange about how she was feeling. " Anjali..he is younger to u .. and is your relative too...u shouldn't be attracted towards him in this way... get him out of your mind... try to be normal for Heaven's sake... " she was talking to herself..scolding herself. She thought "its just my hormones playing games with me.. i ll be fine in the evening.. lemmi just rest for a while and forget all about the last night..."
He was sitting alone and was smiling.. thinking something... " Shaan...won't you share with us too what is making you so happy??" Bhabhi's sudden voice broke his thoughts. " Nothing bhabhi ..nothing special..just was thinking of some events happened in college"..he said.. but the fact was he was thinking about her.."She has become hell of a woman "... " i wish i can get close to her in anyway"... "may be just as her friend"... " i really wish i get to know her better"... " i will do anything to get that closeness again what i got last night " he winked..and his naughty smile again was pasted on his lips... good thoughts ..naughty thoughts..all together were flickering in his mind at the same time... he was feeling much excited merely thinking about her...
" Hmm .. my bro is looking very handsome today." bhaiya smiled.. as bhaiya, bhabhi and he ..all three were leaving for her place for dinner.
Her heart skipped a beat as she saw him standing on her door... "My God ..dont kill me like this.. " she thought.. "Why he need to be this handsome." "Why i am getting so damn attracted towards him." " i have to control ..damn it..."
As for him ... she looked even more pretty today... her light pink salwar suit was suiting her complexion perfectly...and she looked exactly as he have always imagined a perfect girl to be...
As the evening progressed he got more and more attracted towards her ... he was chatting with everyone, but his eyes were following only her ... somehow today.. he was feeling.. she was trying to ignore him... was avoiding any eye contact with him... but his eyes were glued on her... her every move... her every expression was making him want her close to him...every curve of her body was making his body ache... it was becoming hard for him to sit there as he was watching her ...his body was not listening to him.. even though he was trying his best to control his feelings....
"There's still time for dinner to be served naa??... Anji..won't you want to show me your garden?? it is looking so beautiful from here ".. he said stepping outside towards the garden... "O yaa.. wait i am coming" she said.
Cool Delhi breeze of October... full moon night....intoxicating smell of Ratrani flowers and her..walking beside him... was making him even more restless.. he just wanted to hold her then and there.. and wanted to put his lips on hers... pressing his body against her...wanted to be as close to her as one body, one soul... his hands were trembling... and he saw towards her.... She was saying something to him .. but her words were not reaching his ears... he slowly tried to compose himself... and tried to listen what she was saying... she was telling him about the different flowers and plants in her garden and was telling him how much she loved gardening... "She is not feeling anything like i do ... she is just talking to me as her childhood buddy... not even giving a look at me in a way i want her."... he thought. " Its just me who s feeling so very attracted towards her... "
She was pretending to talk to him normally... but her heart was beating really fast... she just wanted him to shut her up... put his arms around her and press his lips on her... her voice was trembling now and then but she was trying hard to be normal.... "O god ..let the time stop here "... "let both of us be one now and here"...just once ... o i so much want to feel him close to me..." her mind was intoxicated with these thought.... but..... she was speaking to him.... "Know what...we have all colors of roses here... they are my favorite flowers.. and this bonsai... it is coming up really good..."
Composing himself totally...he decided he will not let her know how attracted he is towards her... he will act as normal as he can... he was afraid if she came to know how he is feeling about her ..she might stop talking to her... " I don't want to loose her...i want to be close to her...even if it is just like a friend."
