IN THE MORNING
Kartavya was sleeping on his stomach. His upper body was bare. Geetanjali slowly trailed her fingers over his spinal cord. A small smile formed on her face. She caressed his soft hair tendrils. She has to agree that his hair is more soft and silky than hers.
Leaning down she murmured "good morning bunny, get up"
"Hmm papa abhi time hai" Kartavya mumbled in his sleepy state
Geetanjali kissed his head, smilingly she went to open the window
Kartavya jerked open his eyes when the word 'bunny' hit him hard.
Getting up from his sleep, he roamed his eyes around the whole room to find Digvijay but he could only find his nymph.
Geetanjali's hair tied in messy pleats. Kartavya took a good look at her and rubbed his face. Taking a deep breath he looked at Geetanjali.
Leaning on the window base, Geetanjali wished him "Good morning, bunny"
"Morning ginny" Kartavya said resting his back on the headrest
"Mat chupaeye" Geetanjali said walking towards Kartavya
"Kuch chupa nhi raha mein"
"Juth. Apne feelings ko chupana is not good. Aap bhi jante hai ki papa ko leke aaj bhi aap bohot sensitive hai, toh phir yeh narazgi kyu?" Geetanjali asked
Kartavya answered with irritation "Geetanjali kuch baatein kahi nhi jati unhe sirf mehsoos kiya jata hai......."
Cutting Kartavya's word in the middle, Geetanjali stated "Thik ussi tarah jese aapne bunny word sunte hi yeh mehsoos kiya ki papa apko bula rahe hain"
Suddenly there was a change in Kartavya's demeanor. Gritting his teeth he spoke "don't you ever dare to cut me in the middle and yes Mr.Chauhan has nothing to do with my feelings. I will appreciate if you keep this in mind from the very next second onwards"
Saying so he furiously left the room. Geetanjali couldn't understand the reason for such a dramatic change in his behaviour. Determined to find out the reason and mend their relation, Geetanjali left to the kitchen to make breakfast.
IN THE KITCHEN
Ishani saw Geetanjali in the kitchen and thought Kartavya would be alone in the room. Unable to control her carnal desires, she quickly marched towards Kartavya's room.
Geetanjali could feel someone's eyes on her and her doubt turned into proof when she saw Ishani smirking and left in the direction of their bedroom. Geetanjali huffed and resumed making the juice.
INFRONT OF KARTAVYA'S BEDROOM
Ishani reached near the bedroom but what she saw infront of Kartavya's door made her shocked. Both Bruno and Taffy were sitting infront of the doorstep, as if they are guiding the room.
Ishani took a step forward to enter the room and hell broke. Both Bruno and Taffy started barking like Ishani is a thief. Ishani couldn't believe why suddenly these two are so furiously on her, barking non-stop.
She tried to cross them and it was then when Taffy jumped on her, clearly indicating that another step of her's may cost her 14 injections. Taffy was growling dangerously, ready to bite.
Looking at all these Ishani was shocked will be an understatement. She couldn't believe how come so quickly everything changed. Why these two are behaving like this when they never did earlier. They never shared a cordial relation with Ishani. Whenever Ishani will enter into Kartavya's room, these two will silently leave the room. This was the horror filled effect Ishani had on them and now the entire scene stands opposite.
And then the queen entered, clarifying all her confusing thoughts.
"Bruno, Taffy calm down both of you. Why wasting so much of your energy on her, I doubt if she is worth it" Geetanjali caressed both of their head lovingly and they instantly calmed down.
Witnessing all this Ishani's eyes were about to fall out of the socket. Geetanjali smirked at Ishani's condition.
"When you try to snatch or steal something, you get a treated like a thief. I hope you understand" Geetanjali said, clearly indicating to back off from whatever she is planning.
Saying so Geetanjali cooly entered inside their bedroom, while Bruno and Taffy resumed their work of guiding the room. Now everything was crystal clear for Ishani that it was Geetanjali who has made Bruno and Taffy rebellious against her.
'Tum mujhe Kartavya ke kamre mein nhi guss ne dogi..... thik hai phir mein Kartavya ko hi kamre se nikal deti hun.....now let me see how you create a boundary between us' Ishani gritting her teeth left from there.
IN KARTAVYA'S STUDY
"Yeh ohk fine.........I will be there, yeah" he assured to someone on his phone .
Leelawati knocked on the door and entered. Kartavya gestured her to take a seat.
Putting down the phone he asked, "kuch chahiye aapko maasi?"
"Haan mere credit card mein kuch problem hai toh if you can just check .....meine bank manager se baat Kiya par woh log tumhare signature wagera mang rahe hai" Leelawati said
"Ooh thik hai mein dekhta hun.........." Kartavya trailed while searching for a file
"Kya baat hai? Why are you in hurry?" Leelawati asked
"Aah yeah maasi I have to leave for Italy for some deal......"Kartavya said
"Kartavya beta if you don't mind i have a request. Please manna mat karna. Ishani ka bohot maan hai Italy ghumne ka aur ghar pe reh reh kar woh bhi aaj kal bohot moody ho gyi hai.......why don't you take her with you? She will just roam around while you can work. Also if any requirement comes then she will love you I mean she will love to help you" Leelawati suggested
"Maasi......I don't think this will be profitable in any means. If she wants she can go anytime if her own why to tag along with me"
"Kartavya tum toh jante ho usse akela travel karna pasand nhi..... please Kartavya it's my request...... mein apni life mein toh woh Azad zindagi kabhi dekh hi nhi paye for some reasons jo mein tumhe yaad dila kar tumhara mood off nhi karwana chahti par if Ishani can.....I don't want to force you, it's just...."Leelawati played her cards
"Fine" Kartavya agreed with a tight lipped smile
"Thank you Kartavya thank you agar tum nhi hote toh shayad mera koi wajud hi nhi hota......... anyways mein Ishani ko ready hone ke liye kehti hun" Leelawati left, beaming with happiness
Kartavya after a long time, took out a cigarette and blew the puff out. He closed his eyes and a lone tear escaped his eye.
IN YUVRAJ'S ROOM
Kartavya leaned on the door with crossed legs, silently watching Geetanjali.
Geetanjali was laughing at Yuvraj who was brooding over his clothes. According to Yuvraj, he has no proper attire to wear and go on a date with Siya.
"Kya yaar bhabi ma, mein idhar pareshan ho raha hun aur aap hass rahi hai?" Yuvraj huffed
"Uff what can I do when you are rejecting every cloth saying the buttons are of matching colour with the shade of the shirt .........what can I do? Who declares his life to be ruined just cause you don't have an attire to wear which in reality you have a lot" Geetanjali giggled again thinking about Yuvraj's critic over every single shirt
"Toh kya karu mein bhabi ma?" Yuvraj came and sat near Geetanjali's leg
Geetanjali pinching his nose said "do nothing, be what you are. Not what Siya wants or you wants to be, just for her sake. Cause you are The You and let me tell you mister you are too good for anyone."
Kartavya witnessed the bond developing between Yuvraj and Geetanjali. Till today, it was only Kartavya upon whom Yuvraj relied even for the tiniest thing. The space which was restricted for others, is now been shared by Geetanjali too.
"Also Siya loves you truly. She wants you, I don't think she will be concerned about your attire. Aur rahi baat photo ki toh itna expensive phone kis liye hai? Camera quality toh acha hoga hi, don't worry shakal achi na bhi ho toh photo achi hi ayegi, don't worry" Kartavya adviced
"Bhai???........bhabi ma" Yuvraj couldn't digest Kartavya's indirect remark about his handsomeness and he complained to Geetanjali.
"Don't hear him, he sprouts nonsense. You be confident about your looks" Geetanjali encouraged while mumbling the words lowly
"Is it so?...... Geetanjali in the room now, I have to talk something" Kartavya ordered
"Have to talk something ki do something?" Yuvraj wriggled his brows teasingly but he forgot whom he is teasing
"Oh fine then, we too are coming on your date. Then let's see who does what" Kartavya challenged to invade their privacy
"Um woh Bhai you can come but ......but um plan bana nhi matlab Mera......." Yuvraj stammered unable to utter a perfect excuse
"Chal na nautanki sab pata hai mujhe.......mera white formal shirt bhej raha hun pehenle.....iska hamesha se hi esa hai, meri wali chahiye isiliye apni wali pasand nhi aa rahi" Kartavya said snobbishly
"You are the best Bhai.......I love you" Yuvraj hugged Kartavya
"I love you 2 ghante baad bolna kisi aur ko mujhe chipka ne ki koi zarurat nhi hai.... I already have someone to love me" Kartavya said the last part looking at Geetanjali and left the room.
"All the best" Geetanjali too left the room following Kartavya
INSIDE KARTAVYA'S BEDROOM
Kartavya was standing with both of his hands tucked inside the pocket. He was looking out of the window, when Geetanjali entered.
Hearing the soft beats of her anklet, Kartavya turned around. Both looked at each other's eyes. Kartavya offered his hand to Geetanjali, silently asking her to come towards him.
Geetanjali slowly placed her palm on Kartavya's. He pulled her towards him. With a quick turn, Kartavya attached her back with his chest. Geetanjali placed her palm on the window base for support. Kartavya trailed his fingers along Geetanjali's arms and upon reaching her palm on the window base, he entangled both of their fingers.
He hugged Geetanjali with their entangled hands. Dipping his face in the crook of her neck, he kissed below her ear and whispered "am sorry. Subah esse rudely behave nhi karna chahiye tha mujhe but Geetu you need to understand that Mr.Chauhan and I don't share the idle father-son relation. It's better if you don't meddle in this. I am requesting you not to cause I don't want this to hamper our relationship. Remember on the first night we decided not to interfere in each other's lives, let's just stick to this then?"
Hearing this Geetanjali turned around and hugged him by his waist "I thought we became a part of each other's lives but we far very far from this na?"
Kartavya held her face in between his palms. Raising her face he said softly "Geetu you aren't a part of my life, instead you are my life but Jaan please just when it comes to Mr.Chauhan let's not dwell about him. I don't like him see for him we are into an unnecessary argument"
"Kartavya ji, you need to understand that it's not papa because of whom we are arguing but it's someone else"
"No more arguments about it Geetu......let this matter go.....I am sorry for the morning but I can't promise to be in my best behaviour when it's about Mr. Chauhan..... anyways I need to tell you something" Kartavya said
Geetanjali too thought not to stress upon the matter trying to solve it at once. She hugged Kartavya tightly and nuzzled her nose "hmm say am hearing"
Kartavya caressed her hair with one hand while another played with her bare back "I will be leaving in 2-3 hours for a business meeting to be held in Italy"
"Ese achanak? Sab thik hai na?"
"Haan, everything is fine. Actually kaka sa was supposed to deal with it but he is still stuck with some other work in London, so I have to go in his place" Kartavya explained
"Kab wapas aayenge?"
"3-4 din baad"
"Aap akele Jaa rahe hain?" Geetanjali asked
"Hmm Ishani bhi chal rahi hai saath" Kartavya informed
Geetanjali's hold on his shirt increased. She held him tightly, close to her. She has full faith in Kartavya but she doesn't have a bit of trust in Ishani because of the tricks she plays.
"I wanted to take you with me but then remembered you don't have a passport. Although I have already applied for it. Next trip I will drag you with me" Kartavya pinched her pluffy cheeks
Geetanjali smiled and said "aap packing kariye mein lunch leke ati hun"
Saying so she was about to leave when Kartavya held her hand "Geetanjali, na tumhare ane se pehle koi thi na tumhare baad koi hogi............ when I was a bachelor I never felt a thing for Ishani inspite of her innumerable efforts so now after marriage isn't it very obvious that she has not in zero but chances in negative to be with me. She might be a part of my life by default but even by fault would not be a part in my life, which I shapes conciously.........it's you, only you and I have so much self confidence that it will be only you......... hence if I found any dark circles or wrinkles formed due to unnecessary tension then am gonna bite you real hard and I mean it Jaan"
Kartavya pulled her close to himself. Pulling down her blouse sleeve he erotically bit her shoulder hard.
"Oouch" a moan like whimper left Geetanjali's mouth.
Kartavya sucked the spot creating more carnal sensation in Geetanjali. Lost in foreign sensation she pleased "pleaseeee aaaah"
Kartavya pinned her to the wall and sucked her red mole while his index and middle finger tugged the hem of her blouse resting below her breasts and caressed the bruise, formed due to tightness of her blouse.
"Why are you torturing me?" Geetanjali spoke being in sensual euphoria
"Cause you are torturing them" Kartavya nuzzled his nose on her right cheek near her nose"
"please leave me" Geetanjali pleased
"Please leave them free" Kartavya too pleased
His fingers rose above and caressed the skin extremely close to her bosom.
Geetanjali was panting hard due to sensation and Kartavya's indirect talks were adding more fuel to it.
She bit her lower lip, while tightly pressing Kartavya's left wrist which is now resting over her belly button.
"Geetu meri Jaan, I love you and I want to experience, loving you in physical" Kartavya spoke huskily
Geetanjali snapped her eyes towards Kartavya and asked "now?"
"Shall I postpone the meeting?"
"Nhi......wapas ane ke baad"
"Kyu tadpa rahi ho? Kab tak yu hi tadpane ka mann hai? Yeh kesa Nasha hai?" Kartavya asked flipping her hair back
"Nasha nhi, Saja hai...........aur jaeye Ishani ke sath...."
"Mere return ane ke baad tumhe bhi saja milegi.....brutal bites" Kartavya huskily whispered
"Dhatt......" Geetanjali pushed Kartavya and ran towards the door.
She halted in her steps turned around to look at Kartavya who was smirking looking at her with his hands tucked inside his pant pockets. Geetanjali smiled shyly and left to bring lunch.
Kartavya took a deep breath and muttered "3 fucking long days without you Jaan. Inn teen dino mein kahin mere jaan ke bina, meri jaan na chali jaye" and started packing his luggage.
Kartavya was almost done with his packing when Geetanjali came with a plate filled with lunch.
"Packing ho gayi?" She asked
"Haan almost" he replied with a smile
"Sab rakh liya?"
"Haan" he asked while keeping few of his files
"Enough clothes?"
"Check"
"Tie?"
"Kept"
"Grooming kit?"
"Rakh liya"
"Perfume?"
"Yup"
"Documents for meeting?"
"Haan"
"Aur mujhe?" Finally Geetanjali asked freezing Kartavya's movements
