I am so so sorry for not updating for so many days. Actually, I have the whole story planned but I was not even able to write a line. I don't know what happened to me.

But, now I am back.

Almost 5500 words.

Enjoy!!

Kavya's POV

'So, what should we buy for Aunty?' I asked as I sat in the backseat of Kabir's car.

I had came home from work and rested for an hour. Today Tarun had left early as he had to go on a doctor's checkup with his sister.

'You will not come and sit in the front?'

'No,' I said as he started the car.

'What should we buy for her?' I asked, again.

'You are that eager to leave me?' I asked.

'Huh? What?' I was confused.

'Nothing,' he said with a shrug.

'We can buy saree for her,' I said.

'She doesn't wear it at work but she once told me that she loves wearing it and I have seen her wearing it on few occassions,' he told me.

'Okay. Then we will buy saree for her,' I said.

'And, let's gift her five to six steel grocery container for keeping lentils and all that. She loves those.' he said.

'Five to six? You know steel containers are costly, right?' I asked.

'Yes. I have an idea but I want to make her happy on her birthday,' he said making me smile.

I love how he cares for the people close to him.

'Do you know any good shops of saree?' he asked.

'Yes. Just drive for few more minutes. There's a shop where we can get beautiful sarees for her,' I told him and he nodded his head.

'Here is the shop,' I said after few minutes and Kabir stopped the car and I got out of the car.

'I will go and park the car,' Kabir said and I nodded my head and Kabir went to park the car.

I started looking at the sarees which were hanged outside the shop.

'You should have gone inside,' I heard Kabir's voice and looked at him.

'Let's go together,' I said and we went inside.

There were only few people in the shop as it was afternoon.

'Good Afternoon, madam. What type of saree do you want?' the owner of the shop asked as soon as we went inside.

'Uh... we will take a look and then decide,' Kabir said and started looking around.

'Sir, what type of saree are you searching for?' a worker asked and Kabir glared angrily at him.

'Uh... we will tell you in few minutes,' I said and took Kabir's hand and walked on the other side.

'I have told them that I will decide and tell them, right? Then, why are they bothering us?' Kabir whispered angrily.

'That's their job, Kabir. You or your employees in the hotel also asks the customer, right? And if they don't answer, you also pester them, right?' I asked and Kabir was silent for a second and then nodded his head.

'We want a saree for someone who is like my mother,' he went and told the worker who asked him few seconds making me smile.

'Okay, sir,' he said with a smile.

'And I am sorry for being rude with you few minutes back,' Kabir said and the worker smiled.

'No problem, sir. Let's go,' he said.

'By the way, what is your name?' Kabir asked.

'Arun,' he replied as he asked us to follow him and he started showing them silk sarees.

'This will look beautiful on her,' I said as my eyes fixed on a beautiful silk saree of  cream colour with brown border.

'What do you think?' I asked.

'Yes, it will look beautiful on her,' Kabir said.

'We will take this one,' I said.

'And, do you want anything for you, madam?' Arun asked.

'No. I don't want anything,' I said.

'Okay, madam. You can pay the cash there,' he gestured towards the entrance.

*****

Kabir's POV

'Okay, I will leave.,' Kavya said as we stopped in front of Kavya's house. After buying saree we bought five steel container for aunty. It was Kavya's choice as I was not able to understand anything.

'Thank you so much for helping me,' I said.

'No problem,' Kavya said as she got out of the car.

'I am thirsty. Can I come to your house and have a glass of water?' I asked as I didn't wanted to leave her yet.

'Uh... okay,' Kavya hesitated. Previously, it was normal for me to stay for hours in her house and now she is hesitating to even let me inside for a glass of water.

*****

'Here,' Kavya said as she handed me a glass of water.

'I will go and get freshen up,' she said and went in the bedroom.

While I was thinking of ways to spend some more time with her, her mobile started ringing.

Tarun was calling her. I ignored it but then again he started calling and this time also I ignored it but again the mobile rang and this time I picked up.

'Hello, Kavya. Where were you? I wanted to ask, will you come tomorrow to watch a movie with me? It is the movie of my favourite actor, so I wanted to watch it. While booking the ticket I thought of you. You should be free as it is a 9 p.m. show. I can't book morning or afternoon show as I have to take care of the household work and--- I hurriedly cut the call.

'Why did you pick up my mobile?' Kavya asked as she snatched the mobile from me and looked at the mobile.

'I ignored the call for two times but when it started ringing for the third time. I picked it up. Tarun was asking you to join him for a movie tomorrow. I will leave. You can't talk freely if I am here. Once again thank you for helping me,' I said and almost ran from her house as I felt a pain in my heart as I imagined them laughing and holding hands while enjoying the movie.

What is happening to me? I have never felt like this? But the thought of them so close to each other is breaking my heart into pieces.

What if they start to fall in love with each other? What should I do? I want Kavya with me. I want her by my side.

Sh!t! What should I do?

*****

Kavya's pov

After he left, I called Tarun but he didn't pick the call.

Today Kabir was acting so wierd, and he almost ran away.

What has happened to him?

I again called Tarun, but this time also he didnt pick up the call. Maybe he is busy.

Kabir said that Tarun was asking me to join him for a movie. It's been years since I last visited movie theatre. Last time I visited theatre few days before Sohum's death.

My mobile rang and I saw Tarun calling me.

'Hello! Why did you cut my call?' he asked as soon as he picked up the call.

'Sorry, it got cut, maybe, due to network issues. And, I couldn't even hear what you were saying,' I said.

'So you didn't listen to anything I said?' he asked.

'No,' I lied.

'Oh! I was saying that, will you come to watch a movie with me? It's a 9 p.m. show as I am not free in the morning or in the afternoon,' he said.

'No. I can't come. I am sorry,' I said as I am not comfortable going out with Tarun so late.

'Okay. No problem,' he said.

'Okay. Bye. Please don't mind,' I said.

'No. It's okay. Bye,' he said and cut the call.

*****

'Are you even listening to me?' Mr. Raut asked.

'Yes,' I said as he was talking about the weekly profit and loss of the hotel but I was not able to concentrate.

As, I was imagining them sitting next to each other and enjoying the film.

I threw the pain angrily.

'Kabir, are you okay?' he asked.

'Sorry,' I said.

'Today, you are not in right state of mind. We can talk later. I will go and check the kitchen,' he said and left.

It was almost 2 p.m. I decided to go and pick up Raj from school so that I can meet Kavya.

I called Suraj and told him that I will pick Raj up.

*****

'Bhai,' Raj ran towards me and stood in front of me.

'I didn't know that you will come to pick me up,' he continued.

'I wanted to surprise you,' I said and looked at Kavya who was talking with another parent.

After some time, the parents left and she looked at me and she looked surprised.

'Have you talked with Tarun? At what time are you going to watch the film?' I asked directly.

'What?' she was surprised.

'Nothing. I will leave,' I said as I know that due to my mistake, we don't have that relation where I can ask her anything.

'Wait!' she said and I turned around and looked at her.

'Why were you asking me this?' she asked as she started walking with me.

Everybody had left and school was almost empty.

'I am sorry. I don't have any right to ask you,' I said as we came out of the school.

'But, why do you want to know?' she asked.

'Nothing. I will leave,' I said and Raj went and sat in the car.

'No. Something is going in your head. The first question you asked is this and yesterday also you seemed wierd.'

'Nothing had happened. And, even if I am going through something, what is it to you?' I tried to be calm, but failed.

'Why are you shouting? I am sorry for asking you. And, why are you asking about the film again and again? I don't want to see movie with Tarun. I wanted to see a movie as the last movie I had seen was with Sohum but it didn't feel comfortable to go to see a film with Tarun,' she said.

'I was not shouting at you but if you got hurt then, I am sorry,' I said

'It's okay. I will leave now,' she said and started walking away.

'Wait,' I held her wrist and she turned around.

'Please, can you forget the boundaries you made and be with me like you were before, just for one day?' I asked.

'Why?' she asked.

'Because, I want to take you for a movie as you have not seen any movie since your husband's death,' I told her.

'Please don't do this, Kabir. If you do things like this to make me happy then I will not be able to move on in my life. I have accepted that you don't love me, but if you do things like this, I will never be able to move forward,' she said.

How can I make her understand that it is not about her. I don't think I love her but she will always be my special friend.

'Please,' I begged.

'Okay. I always lose to you because you have a special place in my heart,' she said making me smile.

Even though I don't love her but she is one of the most special person of my life and I only want her to be happy.

'Let's go,' she said and went towards the car and sat in the backseat with Raj.

'Madam, you will come to our house?' Raj asked excitedly.

'No, I will drop you off to our house and then we will go,' I told him and he nodded his head.

*****

'Bye,' Raj bid us goodbye and went towards the house. I waited till he went inside.

'So, what do you want to watch?' I asked.

'But, you don't like watching movie, right?' I asked.

'For you, I will watch it,' I took out my mobile and downloaded an app to book a ticket.

'Some hindi horror movie has been released recently,' she said.

'But, you like romantic movies, right?'

'Yes, but I have never watched horror movies in a theatre but I heard from my colleagues that it is fun,' she said and she was right. I looked at the app to see that some horror movie had been released. I booked two tickets of 4 p.m.

'I have booked two tickets of 4 p.m. Now we will go to your house and then you can get changed and then we can leave,' I told her.

'Okay,' she said as I started the car.

*****

I messaged Raut uncle that I will not be back. I know that he will be angry but I will deal with him later.

I was scrolling through various social media apps while waiting for her.

'Let's go,' she said while adjusting her saree.

God! She was looking so beautiful in her neted red saree with neted long blouse and her red dark lipstick. Her black long earrings was increasing her beauty and she had hair which she had kept open and ofcourse her sindoor and mangalsutra.

'I am looking okay, right? I dont wear saree or lipstck often,' she said while adjusting her pallu which she had kept one-sided.

'The lipstick is not looking that dark, right?' she asked and my eyes went towards her lips.

God! I had never wanted to hold anybody tightly and kiss them madly but today I want to do that.

I had never kissed anybody and I never felt like it but today, I just want to claim those lips until we both are out of breathe.

God! Please save me.

'What are you thinking?' she asked.

'Nothing! You look beautiful. Let's go.'

'Wait! I will quickly prepare something for you. I know that you didn't had your lunch,' she said making me smile.

She cares so much for me.

'No. I will eat something in theatre. Let's go,' I said.

'Okay,' she said and took her purse and wore her sandals. I also wore my shoes and we walked out.

'Going out?' Someone asked as she was locking the door and she turned around and gave that lady a smile.

'Yes, aunty,' she said.

'Let's go. We are getting late,' I said before that lady could ask anything.

'Now she will tell everybody,' she said as the elevator opened and we saw Ravi standing there.

'Ravi?' Hi!' she greeted him excitedly.

'Wow! You are looking gorgeous,' he complimented her which made my blood boil.

'You hardly wear saree. You should wear more of it. You look so different in saree and today your look is also different,' he said.

And, I was feeling like protecting her from his gaze.

'Thank you,' she said with a smile.

'I will try to wear sarees more often,' she continued.

'Yes. You should,' he said as the door opened and we got out.

'Bye,' he smiled at her and left without even glancing at me.

She had a smile on her face even after he left which made me more angry.

*****

We ordered burger and coke for me and caramel popcorn and coke for her and we went inside and sat at our assigned places.

'Are you scared?' I asked and she slapped my hand playfully.

'Movie has not even started yet,' she said and we laughed.

I like her like this. I can't bear her being ignorant or distant towards me.

'You know, this is the first time, I am watching a film in a theatre,' I said

'Really?' she asked.

'Yes. My parents were too busy,' I said.

'I---

'Look! The film has started,' I said before she could say anything.

*****

'See! I said as we came out of the theatre. She looked at her nail marks on my hands and gasped.

'I am sorry. I didn't realize that I held your hands so tightly,' she said.

'It's okay. I am glad it was me,' I said.

I was happy that it was not Tarun or that Ravi with whom she went to watch this film.

'What do you mean?' she asked.

'Nothing,' I said as I started the car.

I can't imagine her holding someone else's hand so tightly and if she went looking like this, then I would have definately gone crazy.

*****

'Shit,' I said.

'What?' I asked.

'The car is not working,' I said.

'We should call a mechanic,' she said as we got out of the car.

'But I don't know if there is any mechanic shop nearby,' I said and looked around.

'Excuse me,' she called a guy and he stopped and looked at her from head to bottom.

'Nothing,' I said and he left.

'What happened?' she asked.

'I didn't like how he was looking at you,' I said and she sighed.

'But we have to ask somebody, right?' she said.

'I will ask.' I said and stopped a man.

'Hello! Is there any mechanic shop nearby?'

'Yes. But the shop is closed today and other than that, there is no shop nearby,'

'I will call Suraj,' I said and took out my mobile.

'No. Don't disturb him. Lock the car and park it here and ask Suraj Bhaiya to bring the car to your house tomorrow. We can book car online,' she said and took out her mobile and booked a car.

'I had given my address, so they will drop me first. Then I will book another cab from my house to your house,' she said and I nodded my head as the car came and stood infront of us.

We sat in the car, and she gave the OTP and the driver started the car. As we were going towards her house, it started raining very heavily.

'You can come and stay in my house till the rain stops as it is not safe to even book car or auto online in this heavy rain,' she said

'Will you be okay with me staying in your house?' I asked.

'Yes.'

*****

As we went in the building, we looked around and saw that security guard was not there.

'Where is the security guard?' I asked.

'I don't know,' she shrugged her shoulders.

Before she could type the button, we heard a sound and turned around to see that a little girl has fell down.

'Kusum,' Kavya shouted and ran to pick her up.

She picked her up from the ground, held her hand and slowly started coming with her.

By the time they were inside the buiding, both of them were fully wet.

'Thank you for helping me, aunty,' she said as she pressed the button and elevator opened.

'It's okay, beta,' she said as all of us went in the elevator.

She got out in the second floor and now we were only present in the elevator.

I looked at her and as she was drenched in rain, her saree was stuck to her body and droplets were falling from her hair and those lips and that damn red lipstick.

'What happened? Why are you staring at me?' she asked.

'Nothing,' I said as the elevator opened and we got out.

I followed her and my eyes went towards her waist. Some droplets was falling from her waist and losing itself down in her saree.

God!

Please save me.

'What happened? Come inside,' she said and went inside.

*****

Kavya's POV

'I will go to the balcony and remove the clothes otherwise they will get more wet,' I said and went in the balcony and while I was removing clothes from the grill of the gallery, he came and stood infront of me.

'Why are you standing infront of me? Do you want anything? Go and freshen up. I will give you my brother's clothes,' I said but he was just staring at me.

Today, he is always zoning out. I think something is bothering him.

Suddenly, he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

'Kabir, wh---

'Shhh---' he kept his fingers on my lips and the clothes fell off from my hands as I was too shocked by the closeness.

'You are looking so beautiful today,' he said as he tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear making me gulp.

'And this red lipstick,' he said as he rubbed my lips with his thumb finger.

'This damn red lipstick almost killed me today,' he said as he rubbed my upper lips and again started rubbing my lower lips.

'I want to kiss these lips so badly until your lipstick gets smudged off and you are so out of your breathe that it will take you minutes to comeback to reality,' he said and started coming more close to me.

For the first time in my entire life, a man is so close to me that I can even smell his breathe.

His grip on my waist was tight but it didn't feel suffocating. His hands on me felt nice. For the first time, I had felt someone's hand on my waist.

I closed my eyes as I felt his lips on me. For the first time I was feeling someone's lips on me. His lips on me didn't feel cold or hard but it felt soft. I didn't knew what to do so I started copying him and suddenly I felt his hand in my hair as he was deepening the kiss. My hands went towards his waist and I pulled him so close to me that there was no gap between us.

Suddenly, I felt his hands in my hair and a moan escaped my lips and I felt his tongue inside me and it surprised me and I was not aware of what should I do next, so I started copying him and I felt jim fighting for dominance.

Suddenly, lightning struck loudly and he opened his eyes and pushed me away.

I opened my eyes and he had an horrified expression on his face.

'I... I am sorry. I am so sorry. I don't kno... know what came into me,' he stuttered and started walking away from me.

'I should not have done this. Please, forgive me. I will leave. It's just that, I could not control myself. I am sorry,' he said and ran away.

I was too shocked to react because I also didn't push him away. I was also equally at fault.

But, for the first time someone touched me so intimately. Someone held my waist, touched my lips. For the first time I got to know of a man's touch which I used to hear from my colleagues or read in stories.

Shit! He is scared of rain. I have to call him back. I ran and took out my mobile from the purse and called him but he didnt pick up the call. I called him numerous times but he didn't pick my call.

I wore my sandals, locked the door and ran towards the elevator but the elevator was not opening so I ran downstairs and finally reached the ground floor and saw him standing inside the building.

I ran towards him and he looked at me.

Before I could say anything, the security guard looked at me wierdly.

Suddenly, Kabir started pulling me upstairs but I jerked my hands away from him.

'Why are you pulling me like this?' I asked.

'Why have you came like this? It seems like someone was pulling your hair constantly and your lipstick is all smudged off,' he said.

That's why security guard was looking wierdly at me.

'Because, I was worried about you as you are scared of rain,' I said and he closed his eyes and took a deep breathe.

'Okay, let's go upstairs. I asked the security guard about the elevator and he said if it does not start working by tomorrow he will call someone to repair it,' he said and I nodded my head and we started climbing the stairs.

It took us almost five minutes to reach our floor. I went and opened the door and we went inside.

'Uh... I will go and change,' I said and went in the bedroom.

*****

I went in the washroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Kabir was right. I touched my lips and remembered what happened few minutes ago. I looked at my hair. I didn't even felt the pain of kabir pulling my hair as I was lost with the things he was doing with his mouth.

I came out of my thoughts and took a bath.

After taking a bath, and changing into a long sleeves white kurti and black leggings. I took out my brother's clothes for Kabir.

I went in the hall to see Kabir standing in the balcony.

'Kabir, go and freshen up and change into fresh clothes,' I said and gave him the clothes.

'Okay. I will leave once the rain stops and be comfortable with me. I will not do anything now,' he said and went away.

Yes, I am feeling awkward with him but I am not feeling uncomfortable around him.

Anyways, I dried my hair and removed all the clothes and dried it in the bedroom as it had got wet and made coffee for both of us and decided to prepare simple daal and chawal for both of us as there was no vegetable in the house and I remembered that before marriage, we used to have simple daal and chawal when it used to rain.

'Coffee,' I said as he came in the hall while drying his hair with a towel. I took the towel and gave him the coffee.

'Thank you,' he said and I sat across him with my cup of coffee.

'Thank you for running behind me because you know that I am scared of rain even after what I did,' he said while looking at the coffee.

He was not even looking at me.

'Kavya, trust me, I am not like this. I have went to many parties where there are many temptations in the form of girls wearing short clothes but I never lost control like this. I have employees around me and some of them are women. I conduct meetings with women but nothing makes me loose control,' he closed his eyes and took a deep breathe.

'You are the first woman with whom I lost control. Today, when I saw you looking so beautiful in that red neted saree and that dark red lipstck, I was feeling things which I had never felt before and by the time, we came home, I don't know what happened and I forgot about everything,' he continued.

'You are my first kiss, Kavya,' he said and I was surprised.

'So, by this you know that I had never lost control. I don't know what took over me. I know, maybe, now, you will not feel safe around me anymore but trust me, it will never happen again,' he continued.

'My only concern is that what if you don't feel safe around me anymore? I am feeling so ashamed right now. There is no difference between me and the guy who was staring at you on the road few hours back,' he said which made me angry.

'Don't compare yourself with those creepy guys,' I said.

'And, I agree I was surprised when you suddenly came and held me like that, but I also reciprocated the kiss, Kabir. I was also lost in the moment and forgot about everything,' I continued as I took a sip.

'But, I was at fault more. I should have controlled myself. Now whenever you will be with me, you will not be able to relax, as you will think of me as some creepy guy who can do anything,' he said and I went and sat beside him, put our cup aside and held his hand.

'See! I feel safe around you. I know that was in a spur of a moment. I understand.'

'How can you understand, Kavya? You will hate me if you will listen to the dirty thoughts I had today. If it was not for the striking of the lightning, I would have threw you on the bed and did things with you which, if I tell you, you will never come near me or hold my hands like this,' he gestured at our hands but still I didn't remove it because I know that he is feeling guilty for whatever happened.

'Thanks to the lightning. I am always scared of the rain and the lightning but for the first time, I am thankful for the lightning. I am feeling so guilty,' he said.

'You will never feel safe around me. Now, you will say that nothing happened to console me but when you will think deeply, you will be scared to even sit around me as you will think that I will do something,' he continued.

'Kabir, let bygones be bygones,' I tried to make him understand.

'No. Why didn't you push me, dammit!' he shouted as he removed his hand from my grip and pulled his hairs in frustration.

'Because at first, I was shocked but then I got lost in your touch and your words,' I shouted back and tears started rolling down my cheeks.

'You always blame me. Why have I fallen in love with you? Why have I not stopped you from kissing me? Here, I am trying to understand you and making you feel better as you are feeling guilty and you are shouting at me for not stopping you,' I said as I rubbed my tears with the back of my hand but still it was not stopping.

'I am sorry for not pushing you back. I am sorry that I was so engrossed in experiencing the feeling everybody used to talk about that I forgot the world around me because for the first time I have experienced a man's touch on my lips. For the first time, I was so close with a man,' I said and angrily threw the remote.

'Kavya! What are you doing?'he shouted.

'And what you just said? You experienced a man's touch for the first time?' he asked but I was just crying.

He pulled me towards him and hugged me and started caressing my back. 'Shhh...calm down. Calm down,' he said and continuously stroked my back.

After some time, I broke our hug and wiped my tears.

'What were you saying about experiencing a man's touch for the first time. But you are married, right? Sohum and you never---

'Nothing. We should completely break whatever we have,' I cut him off.

'I don't even want to be friends with you. Rain has stopped. I will book a car for you. You can leave,' I continued.

'No need to do anything. I will leave by myself,' he said and left the place.

I touched at my lips. I never thought I will experience kissing someone.

I never thought I will have my first kiss. I never thought I will be able to experience everything people says or writes in stories but now that I experienced it, it broke everything between Kabir and me.

*****

I hope you liked the chapter.

So Kavya is Kabir's first kiss?

And, Kabir is Kavya's first kiss? What does it mean? Huh?

Their first kiss with each other😍😍🥰🥰

So, what will Kabir do now?

What will Kavya do now?

Was she wrong by breaking the boundary for a day?

If she had not broke her boundary, they would have not drifted apart but they would have never kissed also.

Please COMMENT and VOTE if you liked the chapter.
