Swayam's POV
As I entered the room, I saw her pacing from one corner to the other, busy packing her bag. I went to her making a puppy face but she being 'her' royally ignored me. I quickly held her wrist and said,
"Can't you just drop the idea of going? How will I survive for 2 long days without you?"
Hearing this, her eyes grew big and I think I know what's coming my way. Be ready Mr. Shekhawat and as expected,
"Don't you try this trick on me this time. You know how important it is for me to go. Stop acting like a baby Swayam and it's only for 2 days!"
And there starts her blabbering and I rolled my eyes as I was defeated again. But it was true, I knew how important it is. She had recently enveloped an idea of a startup business of an event managing company and the meeting was related to it with the investors in Mumbai.
I sighed but something struck into my mind and soon my tired face was replaced by a smirk which didn't go unnoticed by her and she asked rolling her eyes,
"Now what? Why do you smirk like that?"
I did reply her but not by words, instead by my actions. I quickly pulled her towards me by her waist hearing a gasp from her at the action. Her hand rested on my chest and I said her in a hushed whisper,
"Okay. If you say I will let you go. But..." I trailed off intentionally.
"But...?" She asked. I think she knew what's coming as she tried to loosen my grip. I held onto her more tightly.
"You know, I want my compensation for that." I said smirking down at her.
Soon her eyes grew big and she started struggling out of my grip. I couldn't help but grin widely at her actions. I loosened up my grip, for I decided to play along with her. As soon as she was free, she made a funny face poking her tongue out at me.
"You are not gonna get anything Mr. Shekhawat. I am getting late." she teased. I grinned more widely at this and started moving towards her taking small steps. She noticed it and started moving back. It continued until she hit the cupboard behind her, but I didn't stop moving. Placing my both the hands on either side of her, so that she couldn't escape, moving closer, I said in her ears,
"I am gonna get it anyway baby. I have my ways for it and I am sure you are aware of it... It's better you give up."
A quick gasp escaped from her mouth. She was like a tomato till now, probably thinking about what I exactly wanted and I was absolutely in love with her blushing face. I placed my one hand on her cheek and started caressing it. My thumb reached to her lower lip and I started to lean towards her. She placed her hands on my chest to stop me.
"I... I... I am getting late swayam... Let me go!" She said, her breathing getting uneven but her voice betrayed her words. My smirk grew more hearing her unsuccessful attempt to make me back off.
"That's not at all an excuse and sure I will let you go but only after I get what I want." I said and again started leaning. She closed her eyes in anticipation and now I was very close to her, our lips mere inches apart. Her hot breath was fanning my lips which were erratic. I leaned to kiss her inviting lips. I was about to kiss... But...
But...
A loud buzzing sound pulls me out of the delusion and here comes the alarm, irritatingly buzzing declaring it's 5 in the morning and time to begin the day. My hand automatically moved towards the side table beside my bed and I turned it off, aiming blindly for it with my eyes still closed. As soon as the realisation hit me, I abruptly sat up leaning against the headboard and rubbed my eyes.
Ohh freak! Not again! Why does it happen again and again to me? I saw another nightmare today. Yes. It was a nightmare. I would like to call it a nightmare. These type of nightmares have become quite a routine to me. They come again and again as much as I push them away.
I don't know why God is playing with me in this way. What's my fault in it? Why am I being punished? And my thoughts started their train again. Soon, my eyes rested on the huge photo hung against the wall exactly in front of my bed. It had covered almost the whole wall.
I couldn't help but just stare at it.
She was indeed beautiful. Irony right? I just called the dream a nightmare and calling her beautiful!? But it is a fact. She was, is and will be gorgeous forever. 'My Sharon'. She's mine.
My hand then rested on the photo frame kept on the bedside table.
I took it in my hands and stared blankly at it, caressing it. 'I miss you' I muttered and I quickly placed a soft peck on the photo and kept it back in it's place.
While thinking all these things, a lone tear escaped from my eyes, as soon as the memories of that day flashed. Probably the worst day of my life. Today was the same day and it's been 5 years since I hadn't seen her... I walked towards the photo and touched it lovingly.
'Why did you do this to me Sharon? What was my fault? Why did u leave me all alone?' soon my eyes were about to break the dam of the tears, but I controlled them. I patted my cheek several times to bring myself out of my trance.
'No! I cannot do this. I have to be strong. For my family. For her dream...' I muttered to myself and sighing heavily, I headed to do my daily chores.
After some time, I had finished everything. My workout, my morning black coffee, freshening up and now at last fixing the tie of my suit and glancing at myself in the mirror one last time, I was finally ready to go to my office. I stepped out of my room.
