'Hi naina.' She looks up from her desk and suddenly feels vacuum after seeing the person. Nothing in mind. She is rooted actually.

'I...I was just passing by. Aur tum bhi itne dino se ghar nahi aayi...to...I..I wanted to see you.'

Naina nods. She holds herself together, takes a deep breath and gives a small smile.

'Hello. Arwa. Please...have a seat.'

Arwa smiles...a tight one.

'Bahar chale? Like..coffee ya kuch aur?'

She is taken aback. But composes herself. Nodding slightly she stands up and follows Arwa.

They both are in cafeteria. Sipping their coffee.

Naina is wondering why She is here. Like She must be with Naushad. Or he must be having his time with her. Spending every moment together...

She feels bit childish. It is not her place to be jealous. She has chosen her place. She has to hold that.

Naina takes a deep breath.

Arwa must be one lucky woman!

'I am not one lucky woman, Naina.'

She at once apologies. Arwa gives her small smile and she returns it. Sitting here with Arwa is like the climax she never thought of. Either it was her departure or Arwa'. Plain and simple..but now both are here..waiting for other to start..

'Wo..tumhe hamare aane se takleef to nahi huyi Naina? Tumne ek dum se ghar aana hi band kar diya.'

Naina is frozen. The most apparent question she asked..

'Wo..Ghar bhi to Aapka hi he. In fact Wo ghar aapka pahle he.'

Arwa stares at her...and Naina feels awkward.

'Nahi..Naina. tum kabhi us ghar me lauti nahi...warna tum dekhti ki Us Ghar me Hum kaun he! Wo Ghar hamara nahi he..'

She is confused. What is arwa saying? She and Naushad both are married and in love.

'Main..Main kuch samjhi nahi.'

Arwa holds her hand. She wants to pull back but let them be there. she is not a child neither is arwa. moreover arwa has invited her here.

'naina.....Naushad ke us ghar ki jaan tum ho...Hum nahi.'

Naina is completely at loss. Whatever Arwa is saying she has no idea what she is getting at.

'Hairan hone ki jaruart nahi. Humko bhi samajh nahi aaya..Hum to khushi khushi wapas aaye the aur har chij par haq jata diya...

Humne har us chij se khud ko jodne ki koshish ki jo kabhi hamari thi. Hum har us jagah apna haq jatane gaye jaha par kabhi hamara haq tha..

But you know Naina, I was late. I was too late. I thought that house was and will be mine. No one can ever replace me. But I was wrong.'

Arwa' eyes are bit teary and Naina feels guilty. Not because She is the reason but she can not lend her a shoulder. It is such an irony.

'Naushad ki aankho me mohbbat he...lekin tumhare liye..He loves you like anything. Agar wo humko wapas laaye bhi to sirf isliye kyunki he is a nice man. He could have done same with anyone. Aur Saira...I share my blood but you...you share a part with her which i never can. Usko har chij me Naina chahiye. She keeps telling me..ki how you do things. She may call me Ammi..lekin uski Ammi tum ho, Naina. She seeks you as her father does.

Naushad aur Maine ek mahina sath bita diya..lekin is ek mahine me ek din bhi unhone hume kabhi dekha tak nahi. He never touched me. He never tried to even spend a moment with me. Unko lagta tha ki he'll do wrong with you. He'll cheat on you if he ever looks at me. I yearned for his glances but he never even looked into my eyes. Not even once. He was loyal to you all the time.'

Naina is in daze. Her ears are either hearing something alien or she is hallucinating.

'Naushad loves you..more than anything. Main uska pahla pyaar thi. Lekin ab...Main sirf uska ateet hu Naina.'

Arwa stands up so does Naina like a reflex.

'Dont let him go. He is sadu. He will never ever confess. He'll bring down heaven for you but never utter those words. Ye kaam bhi tumhe khud hi karna he..' arwa smiles..a sardonic one.

She hugs Naina...before leaving. An awkward hug. And then leaves..

Naina is stood where she was. She sees Arwa going...going away from Shimla...without having anything but a remorse. She can understand A woman. How disappointed she was,was written clearly on her face.

Naina feels bad. Arwa is returning empty handed. And Naina knows how it feels.

Missing love because you were late. Fate can not be more cruel.

She goes back. Rewinding what she told her.

Words naushad loves her keeps ringing like wind chime. It is all mix up of emotions. Her heart this time is thumping. She has no idea how she is going to talk with him. After knowing something so...delicate and divine from Arwa she has no idea how to hold this. For running away and acting like a mature woman is all easy. There is no confrontation and extra effort. But going to him and telling him that yes, I know your secret. Now spill the beans, is serious matter. Naushad suddenly seems her moon. Beautiful but far away even though it is revolving around her.

A huge smile suddenly creeps up..

Not a good day to go insane. She has work to do.

***********

'Ma'am wo..' aaliyah, the nurse is about to complete a sentence when someone intrudes into her office.

Naushad rizvi who else..

Naina' body stops functioning.

He is there...looking into her eyes with new found determination and....

She feels dizzy. Two hours ago she was sulking over her bad luck and now...she is afraid how she'll hold onto this wave of mushy feelings.

Before anyone can say something, Naushad holds her hand and drags her out. They pass the corridor..

A loud whistle is heard from Dr. Beg' cabin along with a hoot..

Naushad opens the door of jeep. She is standing there..

'Baitho.'

She looks at him as if he is from Pluto.

'I said sit.'

She obeys. Though she wants to punch him..but.....

He drive the jeep and within minutes they are in front of a hotel. Her eyes grow large.

So unlike Naushad.

He takes her to the room he has booked. Once the door is closed his demeanor shades down.

He is same fumbling and strict yet clueless Naushad.

Naina is staring at him.

'Wo...Wo..Tum..Actually Ye..Hum...Nahi..Hamara...'

He is unable to form a sentence.

Naina sighs. This is who he is. A brave but innocent captain. He can not tell her what he wants to say.

Naina looks into his eyes. They hold what she presumed.

And she is suddenly on her toes...pecking him.

His eyes going wide in surprise and her hands embracing him around his neck.

Soon his senses kick in and he picks her up. Her legs crossing behind her back. His lips now sucking and nibbling at hers with the urgency she never felt. His hands digging in her flesh and making her realise that it is so not like first time. His tongue slips in sooner and sweep her off her feet. The kiss is so foreign to her. He leaves her. Looks at her red lips and then once again holds them. Sucking them, bitting them and showing what he felt all these days without her.

Loneliness.

And when she is with him he doesn't want her to leave.

He sucks at her lower lip and bit it. A moan escapes her lips and is swallowed by him. He moves with her still on his waist and nibbling her lips. He pushes her on bed, engaging both her hands with one of his. While other hand soon finds a way in her clothes. His palm soon holds her flesh. Fondling it. Pinching her nipples and making her squirm. Her nails draw blood from his hand when he sucks on her tongue while his hand works mercilessly on her breast. Her legs move around his waist as they were before. Holding him at place..and giving him a notch. He rubs himself on her nether part. And she can bet she is completely drenched there.

His lips descend and leaves traces. His teeth biting her tender flesh and tongue licking it. Keeping it not so simple and platonic as she talked about. God! She is out of her senses right now.

His hand leaves her hand and opens her shirt. Buttons go flying and she is past one barrier. His both hands now acting on both of hers. His mouth reaches to her breasts and one hand slips below. Fondling her flesh and feeling it it goes south. Enters in her jeans and then in panty and then feels her second set of lips.

She'll die of pleasure. It seems.

His one finger slides down. Traces the moisture and slips in.

She literally screams..

His mouth warm and hot on her nipples..sucking them and biting them. While one hand fondling her breast and one finger going in and out. He increases pace and smooches her once again. Then once again kisses her. And does it till the time she is breathless. With both...orgasm and his lips..

He looks at her. She is in heaven. Her body here and soul here but she is not. She is floating. Somewhere in pool of pleasure on boat of passion.

He removes his shirt and pants in one go. Then her jeans. She is still about to come out of the effect of one orgasm of this night when she feels his mouth on her femininity.. The core sensitive and hot. His lips horizontal mess with verticals. His tongue sweeping her once again off her feet. His hand holding her one leg while other holds one of her breast.

Meanwhile she is repeating His name like a mantra. Her moans erupting the fire and burning the whole room in. Her fingers almost pulling his hair out. She is completely at his mercy.

She is panting when he leaves her and plucks last material off his body.

She sees him...in all his glory. It is day light.. wide and out. She can see all of him and he can too. She wants to believe it is her fantasy but can not. He strokes himself before he sits across her.

'Naina..look at me.'

She does. And then he goes in. She shouts.

'Ohh My God!'

He smirks..for a moment. The next moment he starts the motion. Moving in and out. His warm dick going inside her burning hole. Her hands scratching his arms.

'Ohhh. God. NAUSHAD. Ohh..Aahh.'

The tempo is high. She keeps calling him. And his groans a proof how she is igniting his passion. For the time being.

He stops and lies down. Pulls her over. She on top. Staring at him. In his eyes...The viscosity absent. He pulls her mouth down. Slips his tongue in and kisses her. She puts his dick in. And slowly moves. The gravity pulling her down and he pushing her higher. His hands once again goes to her mounds. It seems he likes them.
She jumps on him...up and down. Up and down.

'Shit. Naina.' A loud groan is heard in room.

Then she is on her fours. He comes from behind. Drilling her like there is nothing he'd do for now. This is what the last thing he has to do. Nothing matters right now. She is crying now. It is too much to take.

She keeps riding him until she reaches peak. One final.push and both fell exhausted.

A glance is exchanged. A glance of confession, promises and happiness and warnings and memories..

He hugs her. Her eyes brim but soon she has a huge reason to smile. Making salty sweet one.

For this is where they hit the notch. Now there is no turning back..

His body entangled with hers..the way his heart is.

Tomorrow arrives..but Naushad now hangs on his present that being Naina..
