Strangers (Behir)

Chapter 48

Shaam hote hi Bela apne cafe mein coffee serve kar rahi thi tabhi wahan Vikrant aa jata hai...
Aur Bela ko coffee ka order deta hai...
Bela thodi der mein coffee lekar aati hai...
Vikrant uske sad chehre ko dekhte huye "sit Bela!!"
Bela ka koi mood nahi tha "no Sir... owner ne kal boht daanta, aapse aise baat karne par!!! Main yahan kaam karti hoon..."
Yeh keh kar vo chali jati hai...
Vikrant chup-chap apni coffee peeta hai aur chala jata hai....
Bela ko aaj sach mein smjh nahi aa raha tha ke uske sath ho kya raha tha!!! Mahir ka yoon, ignore karna usse acha nahi lga!!!
Raat hote hi vo Mahir ke ghar aati hai...
Aaj bhi Mahir sofa par baith kar apna kaam kar raha tha!!! Usse aate dekh "aaj mera khana mat lagana!! Mujhe bhookh nahi.."
Bela hairaani se "kyu? Bhookh kyu nahi?"
"Maine aaj bahar se khana kha liya!!"
"Kyu??" Asked Bela.
"Aaj mera kuch bahar ka khane ka mann tha iss liye!!"
"Ohhh, mujhe lga ab dinner ke maamle mein bhi ignore kar rahe ho!!!
Khair....
Mere liye bhi pack karwa laate!!!"
Mahir kitchen ki or ishara karke yeh batata hai ke tumahare liye bhi laya hoon!!!
Yeh sun kar Bela khush ho jati hai... aur bhaag kar Mahir ko gale laga leti hai....
Jis wajah se Mahir ka laptop neeche khisak jata hai.
Aur dheere-dheere Bela... Mahir ke kaan par, gaal par, naak par aur phir uske lips par kiss karti hai....
Mahir usse ek baar toh peeche kar deta hai...
Bela isse thoda hairaan ho jati hai... Mahir ne aisa kabhi nahi kiya tha!!! "Kya huya??"
Mahir 2 second ke liye apni aankhein band karta hai... aur then "kyu na aaj shower ke neeche romance kiya jaye??"
Bela surprisingly usse dekhti hai... "ahh..... welllll okay..... let's do it!!!"
Aur Mahir Bela ko uthaa kar seedha bath tub mein laakar khda kar deta hai....
Vo shower on karte hain!!! Aur jaldi-jaldi mein ek doosre ko undress karna start karte hain....
Bela ki baar-baar hasi nikal rahi thi... shower ke neeche yeh uska first time tha!!!
Then they just started kissing each other passionately!!!
Mahir ke hath Bela ki gaalon par the!! Aur Bela ke uske gale mein!!!
If Bela was unable to remember anything about Bathroom, she remembered everything about that bathroom. Years later, she could recall the view, the color of the drapes and carpets, and each picture
and piece of furniture. She could remember the sounds of the city, far below, that drifted into the bathroom.
The images of that night were to stay with her the rest of her life. It was a magic, multicolored explosion in slow motion. It was having Mahir undress her, it was Mahir’s strong, lean body in bathroom, his
roughness and his gentleness. It was laughter and passion. Their hunger had built to a greed that had to be satisfied. The moment Mahir began to make love to her, the words that flashed into Bela’s mind were,
I’m lost.
They made love again and again, and each time was an ecstasy that was almost unbearable.
Hours later, as they lay there quietly, Mahir said, “I feel as though I’m alive for the first time in my life.
Bela gently stroked his chest and laughed aloud "whenever we make love!! You always said this word!!"
Mahir looked at her quizzically. "Seriously??"
"Yes..."
And after that... Mahir aur Bela bed par lait jaate hain... Mahir ko toh 10 mintue mein hi neend aa jati hai.... par Bela!!!! Vo abhi jaag rahi thi...
Aur baar-baar Mahir ko dekhe jaa rahi thi... usse aaj ke Mahir aur Kal ke Mahir mein kitna farak laga!!! Mahir ke ek din mood ne Bela ka poora din kharaab kar diya tha!!!
Par usse itna farak kyu pda?? Vo toh chali gyi thi!!!
Issi kash-m-kash mein vo poori raat nikaal deti hai...
