Pure Passion

Chapter 14

Kalpi took a shower and came out more determined. Prem too was ready to talk to Kalpi!

Here Raghav aka Kalpi's Romeo was finding it difficult to spend the entire day trying to push away his Juliet's thoughts that kept hovering over his mind!!!

They were in middle of a conference and one of their employees was presenting the future half yearly budget in front of them when he suddenly saw Juliet giving the presentation and he smiled. He was smiling silly till Sammy nudged him and raising his eyebrows. Raghav stopped smiling and looked baffled and confused. He excused himself and went to the washroom! He washed his face! Why can I not just forget her? Atleast for sometime? Sheesh! I am making a fool of myself!

So much for leading a double life Raghav!!! Phew! He shook his head as if doing that would help him shake her thoughts off his head! I need to get a grip on myself! He takes a deep breath and then goes back to the conference reminding himself to not let his thought wander!

Kalpi makes 2 cups of tea and takes them both in her hands and sits on the couch near Prem. She keeps one on the coffee table and sips the tea from the cup in her hand!

We need to talk, Prem. Have your tea! Her cold demeanour while saying this entire thing and her cold expressions sent a shiver through Prem.  She is really mad at me!!! 

He simply nods and starts sipping his tea, trying to frame sentences!!! When his phone buzzes! He picks it up looks disturbed and cuts the phone. This happens two more times and Prem keeps disconnecting the phone. Finally Kalpi finishes her tea and takes Prem's phone from his hand and puts it on silent! Finish your tea Prem I said we need to talk.

And since you are not interested to talk to this person then your phone better be on silent mode.

Prem nods his head and told her I wanted to tell you somethings too! Kalpi sighed and closed her eyes...Prem I know and I have been waiting but now I have to say this that we are going nowhere Prem. Our relation is going nowhere. It is stinking like a stagnant pool! And please dont tell me that you love me because I now very well know how it feels to be loved.

Prem looks at her all confused. Prem tell me why are you still with me? Has Aai forced you into this relation? Or did you realise after marriage that I was not fit for you?

No Kalpi I really care for you!

Shut up Prem!!!! Stop lying! You give a damn about me! Do you even know or bother to ask where have I been spending my nights! 

What if I tell you I have been hiring the services of a male escort these days? 

Prem spilled the hot tea on himself and hissed as he felt his hand and thighs burn due to the hot tea!

What? You were all night out with some male escort!!!!!???? Are you even in your senses Kalpi what have you been upto?

Yes finally! I think I have grown up to have enough sense to realise what is going right or wrong!

Do you even ralise how risky that was? What were you thinking Kalpi! You were exposed to such danger!!!

Did you bother Prem? Asked Kalpi with unshed tears in her eyes! Did you really care? 

Tell me when was the last time you told me I looked beautiful, when was the last time we had a great time together, when was the last time we had some upclose mindblowing intimacy. When was the last time we both ate dinner together or dined out! When was the last time you bought me a gift. 

Prem started sweating! Well Kalpi I wanted to talk about this but...ting tong! The doorbell rang and Prem jumped to check the door. 

The mobile in Kalpi's hand buzzed again! It was a message this time. She thought for a minute but then opened it to read a message.
