Chapter13

"Ok. If it's r..rule th..en it sho..should be follo..wed" She stammared Nervously. Still couldn't believe she just gave permission. Anirudh was shocked to the core to hear her words. Did she just give him consent to......kiss her! somewhere he was happy too. his reverie broke by their cheering sounds. the trio encouraged him to go ahead.

He gave up. Approached to her. Kneeling down. Pulled himself closer to her. Again worryingly peered up from his position to see any uncomfortable expression on her face but there's none. She just nervously glanced at him, then downed her head. Prepared herself for what was coming next. Taking a deep he whispered a sorry in her ear before placing his soft,gentle lips on her cheek. Both closed their eyes shut instinctively. As their heart hammered hard against the rib. Because of the gentle physical contact. Their souls stirred up At this blissful sensation. that washed over their body. She could feel his warm heavy breaths on her cheek where his lips landed. Which caused her breathing heavy. Anirudh swore to plant a feathery kiss on her cheek but now was taking longer than he was supposed to. For some unfathomable reason he didn't want to lose the heavenly contact with her soft skin. He was way drowned to that moment that Heart urged to go with the flow of his sinful feelings.

Unknowingly both were sailing in the ocean of love. But......One was controlling her emotions...was trying resist her forbidden feelings and another one was fighting with his feelings. Who was yet to realise the reasoning behind all this.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's a stormy night. The sky was overcast by dark clouds. Rains poured in torrent. Gush of wind was violently blowing from all directions. surroundings was so dark that thunderbolt and occasional lightening made the night more horrendous. the rain created pitter-patter sound getting hit against the closed windows. At the same time windy rushed accross her room penetrating through the hole. Lonely she was sitting on her bed. A little frightened she was. She went to her house two hours ago. Completing some pending work she thought of going to RC haveli to bring her children but before that the nature turned scary. Thereby she couldn't stepped out of her house.

A sudden knock on the door alerted her. she was befuddled, who might have come at this stormy night. Still went ahead to open the door. Dubiously she opened that and there she was hell shocked to see the person infront of her. A murmuring left her lips.....Anirudh! but before she could excogitate the reason of his untimely, Unexpected appearing. His feeble body fell forward to her lazily. But she was quick enough to prevent him from falling completely, in the nick of the time thus protected him from getting hurt.

She felt a peculiar sensation all over her body. A shivering as well as burning sensation. Sceptical, she observed along his body. his bearing wasn't normal at all. She forwarded one of her hand. touched his forehead and next withdrew it in a jerk. Her apprehension was right......His body was burning due to high fever. Body temperature was dangerously higher than normal. He was soaking wet and was shivering like hell.

Because of extreme debility he wrapped his arms around her shoulder for support. Chattering teeth he barely murmured "Bondita...Wa..ter" it's almost inaudible but she did understand.

She noticed him licking his lips trying to quench his thirst with the small drops of rain water which was cascading from his hair. Without wasting a second she led him to bed. made him sat there carefully and rushed to fetch water for him. As she came back with water, saw him shivering uncontrollably, curling up like a turtle. She felt horrible to see his condition. lifting his head a little she made him drink the water. And then asked him why he came to her house rather than going to his family....as she knew Somnath was at home and he could have treated him. But his reply was....

"I..do...don't.. know..I just..I felt like to come to..to you..was...I..just desperately wanted to see... see you..to be..wi..with..you........."

She smiled slightly. Drops of tears rolled down her cheeks.with much difficulty she untangled his body from her and changed his soaked clothes..!wiped his whole body with a dry towel.although,she was a little hesitant But there's no alternative. the heavy rain was not stopping that she could seek anyone's help at that moment. And moreover Anirudh didn't let her go anywhere even for a millisecond.was clutched to her like a child.
