Mohit's POV
I took medicine and went to sleep. I perspired so much that I removed my nightshirt.
The incidents of the day kept bothering me and kept increasing my headache. I don't know when I slipped into slumber.
I dreamt of her. I felt her coming to me and touching and pressing my forehead and kneading the tension knots on my shoulders and neck just like she did that day. I was groaning and moaning simultaneously. Her soft cold hands pressed and massaged my highly corded muscles.
It was so good and relaxing that I felt as if I was in heaven. I could feel that my pain was easing out. Her soft hands eased my pain away but were creating some kind of havoc in my body. Some kind of sweet pain...
I wanted her with everything in me. She stopped massaging and I felt as if I was going to lose her and I turned and pulled her in my arms in a tight grip around her.
If it was a dream, I didn't want to wake up from this anytime soon. I would love to have this dream for the rest of my life. I just loved the feel of her soft, silky and comparatively colder body. The dream was so vivid as if it was a reality and not a mere dream.
She tried to get out of my arms but I flipped and held her beneath me. I told her to stay with me as I needed her. She tried to push me away from her but I caught her hands in one of mine and held them above her head against the headrest and kissed her till she moaned in my arms.
I was going crazy with every little sound of pleasure that came out of her mouth. I kept showering butterfly kisses on her face, neck and shoulders and she shuddered beneath me making me want her even more.
" Let me go... Please. It is not right..." She pleaded and I asked her why was she saying that?? But she just shed a few silent tears.
I wiped them and kissed her eyes and buried my face in the crook of her long neck and l don't remember the rest of it.
But it was such a beautiful feeling... I felt very good from within. I opened my eyes and saw that it was morning.
I slept for the whole night. I looked around there was no sign of her but the dream I had last night, felt real.
Me and my vivid imagination...
I shook my head, but I was feeling good from within. I wanted her in my life. Just the thought of having her in my arms was as soothing as a salve.
I went to the kitchen and saw that it was spotless and the things I had left on the counter were not there.
Did I keep them back in the fridge?? I don't remember...
My phone was ringing. It was Maya. " Hi, you are up?? How is your headache?? You looked miserable last night.
" Last night?? When did you see me last night?? "
" You were sleeping but looked as if you were having too much pain. "
" You came to see me?? With Viraj??"
" No, Viraj told me, he came... "
" Oh !! "
" With Srusti !!"
What ??? My heart jumped in my chest.
" Really ?? "
" Hmmm "
" She looked so worried over you that she didn't even eat a thing. She didn't say anything but I could see that she wanted to be with you. Even Viraj felt that and he asked her if she would like to stay with you?? "
" And ?? "
" And she nodded. She looked miserable. She really cares for you. You didn't know, that she was working with Manu?? "
" No, not till she came with her. "
" But it is not good... "
" Why??"
" Because you loved Manu at one time."
" Hell no !!! She is just my best friend. You all wanted me to get married, so I thought that I could get married to her, but I never felt anything for her. I love her a lot as my best friend, not as a man loves a woman."
" And you love Srusti?? "
" I do... With everything in me. I love her. Did she stay here with me at night ?? " I asked her.
" What else do you expect?? Of course, she did..."
She was here?? Oh God !! Oh my God!!!
That means it was not a dream. At least not all of it. She pressed my head, neck and shoulders.
She is such a sweetheart. I love her...
" She came back about an hour back. She has made breakfast for you. Must be in the microwave and she drove back here in the car she usually drives. "
What?? She drove back alone ?? It's not safe.
" Maya, I need to talk to Viraj, right now. "
" Ok wait!! Viraj, Mohit wants to talk to you. " Maya said and gave her phone to him.
" Hmmm... sale sahib farmaiye? ( What do you want to talk about dear brother-in-law.)
" Viraj, I am serious, please don't tell anything to Maya or Srusti, but just don't let Srusti go to work alone. "
" What ?? Why??"
" I can't explain right now.. stop her."
" She is as adamant as your whole family. Just like a lost piece of a jigsaw Puzzle. " Viraj said.
" Do anything, if you can't help it, please follow her from a distance. " I said
" What happened?? "
" Please don't ask me... I swear, I would tell you everything you. But she is in danger. "
" What the hell ?? Tell me something at least.
" Someone is threatening me, sent her pictures to me... Please don't let her go alone."
" Ok, but you need to explain... "
" I need to explain many things. Rest assured, I would do it very soon. "
" Ok... "
I opened the microwave and saw a bowl of vegetable upma and another bowl of apple and cinnamon flavoured sweet oats. I smiled and ate them.
My beautiful wife was here with me last night. I love her.
******
I reached the office and was waiting for her to come. I was over the top of the world as she had come to see me, stayed with me at night and took care of me.
I was pacing near the reception area and just then, I saw her walking in with my lunch box. Awww... She was so concerned about my food and health.
" Good morning, Beautiful !! " I said with my flirty smile.
" Morning, Mr Paul! " She said looking everywhere but at me. Cute girl but stop this Mr Paul.
" What is there in that box?? " I asked.
" Er... Lunch for my boss. "
" Oh, ok!! What is in the lunch?? " Just then Harry came there.
" Good morning, Harry Ji !!
Ugghhhh... She greeted me so formally and is talking to him sweetly. Harry Ji???? Why does she add Ji with his name?? I don't like it... I like it when she calls me Mohit Ji.
But you had a problem at that time too.
See, I don't want to hear some home truths from you. Just get lost.
" Hello, Sru... Ma'am!! " Harry gulped and looked at me. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
" Ma'am?? Why are you calling me ma'am ?? "
"We should give respect to the fellow workers. " He replied.
Smart boy!!
" But... Till yesterday you were calling me by my name." She said. Harry looked at me.
" Er... I just realised that I should follow the decorum. "
" What decorum?? "
" Calling people with respect. So ma'am... " I saw Sonia coming inside.
" Good morning, sir " she greeted me and both of them. I just nodded with a smile.
" Sonia, you need to see the setting, Kabir and Wasim would be here today," Harry said, Sonia nodded and went inside. Harry was going after her.
" Harry Ji?? "
" Yes... Ma'am ?? "
" You just called Sonia by name. "
" Oh... She is a friend. " He was getting tense now.
" So, I am not your friend?? "
" Ma'am, I am just following the... "
" Harry, please order some coffee for me," I said to get him out of my wife's interrogation.
" Yes, sir. " He started going away.
" Wait Harry Ji, what are you following?? " Harry looked uncomfortable and looked at me.
Poor man !!
" Ummm... office policies. "
" Which of the office policies? " she asked. Oh god !!! This girl was too much.
" Harry get my coffee, I would explain to her. " I said and he went away excusing himself.
