In Your Arms

Filhall Nahi.....

Okay! I know I'm late, but I'll try to be more regular.

Today was the last day for setting up the library, and probably the last day for Apoorva to see Rajyavardhan, she thought all day about this. As she had decided earlier, she didn't talk to him all day and would never ask him out again, after all those failed tries.

As the noon approached, Apoorva took one last look at Rajyavardhan, and headed to her car. As she reached the door handle she heard a voice. A deep, strong voice.

Rajyavardhan : Apoorva!

She turned around to see Rajyavardhan approaching her, walking slowly with one hand in his pocket.

Rajyavardhan : Hi, aaj jaldi nikal rahin thi aap?

Apoorva : Haan, aaj toh poora kaam hogaya. Thank you aapne kaafi help ki.

She replies in a monotone voice making it clear she had lost all hope.

Rajyavardhan : Aapse kuch baat karni thi....

Apoorva : Ji kahiye?

Rajyavardhan : Aapne itna kuch kiya hai gareeb baccho ke liye.... hum bhi aapke liye kuch karna chahte hain.... Lunch?

Apoorva couldn't control herself as a big smile made its way to her face.

Apoorva : Abhi?

Rajyavardhan : Haan abhi. Don't worry hum aapko aapke quarters bhi drop kar denge. Aap bas bata dijiye aapko kaunsa cuisine accha lagta hai?

Apoorva : Thank you so much sir, but aapko jo theek lage vahi chalte hain.

Rajyavardhan : Okay. Toh ek restaurant hai kaafi accha, yahan se thoda door hai..... long drive bhi ho jayegi. Chalein?

Apoorva : Haan haan

Apoorva was on cloud nine, so was Rajyavardhan. They both had been waiting for this moment for so long, to spend some time alone.... to talk with each other.... to know more about each other.

Rajyavardhan guided Apoorva to his luxurious audi. He opened the door for her and informed his driver that he will be driving the car for the rest of the day. Gurpal and his other men insisted on not letting him go alone as it won't be safe but Raj denied.

As they settled down in the car, Rajyavardhan looked at Apoorva and gave her a smile, she returned it with grace, little did she know what was going on in the man's mind. He could only think of making love to her, to have her in his arms, to do all the dirty things to her and kiss her to his heart's extent. He had been controlling for so long now, he could control no more.

Apoorva : Kuch soch rahe hain?

She said snapping Rajyavardhan out of his thoughts. He was glad he wore black jeans today or this moment would've been embarrassing for both of them.

Rajyavardhan : Nahi, kuch nahi. Comfortable?

Apoorva : Yeah. Aapki car bohot acchi hai.... Aur aapke friends aapko akele aane ke liye mana kyu kar rahe the?

Rajyavardhan : Friends nahi hain. Aadmi hain humare, kaam karte hain humare liye. Aur mana isliye kar rahe the kyunki.....

Apoorva : kyunki...?

Rajyavardhan : Aapko pata chal jaayega, kabhi na kabhi....

Rajyavardhan was not sure when would he let her know, but there will come one time when he will have to tell Apoorva about the other work he does. Would she still like him? He could only hope.

After a long drive and a long chat, they finally reached the restaurant. It was an expensive one but not too formal. Apoorva was not used to an expensive lifestyle since she was brought up in a middle-class family but she surely enjoyed the past minutes spent in luxury with Rajyavardhan.
