"In a moment of childhood innocence, SHE found herself unwittingly tied to HIM by a simple promise. As the years passed, she harboured a silent love for him, keeping it secret and buried deep within her heart. A life filled with longing and unanswer...
"Ryan, I will be here in a few minutes. I'm just going to use the restroom. Okay?" Prisha's voice was low, her eyes were not looking at him but straight.
Ryan nodded his head in understanding, "Okay..."
She left from there leaving him alone amidst so many people.
****************
Entering the washroom which was situated in the greenroom's lobby of the deserted first floor, she hastily latched the door and took a deep breath.
What is wrong with her, she absolutely had no idea! Only god knows what is happening with her. But she had to do something, she can't always run away from him like this. She was not a coward or wasn't scared of him so why whenever she is with him, she feels nervous? She doesn't know!
He is her future, the future she has always dreamt about.
"From now on, I will behave myself and won't act like I'm bypassing him or afraid of him. After All, he is a human too just like me and not a monster who will devour me." She mumbled the phrases to herself.
She examined herself in the mirror, brushed her hair and again took a deep breath, all set to encounter new things which were awaiting for her.
She unlocked the door of the bathroom, just then in a swift moment she was pinned to the wall by someone. Her eyes got shut in the reflex, her wrists were fastened up to the wall with the assistance of masculine hands.
"Open your eyes." She heard the familiar voice speaking in the commanding tone.
She opened her eyes gradually only to see him. She gasped aloud, "Ryan! You!"
An awful scent striked her nostrils and senses, she exclaimed loudly, "Ryan, you are drunk!"
Yes, it was Ryan who caged her between him and the wall. It was difficult for her to believe too. She didn't expect him to consume liquor and do something like this.
He kept his forefinger on her lips, "Shhh... you speak a lot. Don't you? Now, would you let me say something too?"
She saw his orbs were diluting into bewildering desire, turning blacker and more black with passing time. Maybe it's due to the intoxication. She gulped down and nodded her head in agreement.
He came closer and whispered in the sultry voice, near her ears, "Good girl! Now, let this drunk man show his passion to you."
"What are you going to do, Ry...?" Before she could complete her sentence, he started trailing wet kisses from her jawline upto her chin.
He slightly suckled there and rolled around his tongue.
Her hot breathing was getting faster syncing with her pacing heart that could explode anytime by now.
He tried to kiss her neck but failed miserably because of her turtle neck dress. So he nibbled her skin just below her left earlobe, sending jolts of current in her body.
He was not in his senses and that felt immoral to her. These things are not made to forget but to cherish. That's why she jolted away from him making his forehead appear to be in a furrow.
She breathed heavily and asked him in the heaving tone, "Ryan, you can't do this. Okay?"
"But why?" He asked instead.
"Because you are not in your senses, whatever you... we are doing, you wouldn't remember in the future. And that's not good." She somehow said what she wanted to.
He clenched his teeth and uttered the words in the coldest yet loud way, "You know Prisha, because of this, your ignorance, I drank the whole glass of damn alcohol."
"My ignorance?" She mumbled his words again enough loud to be heard by him.
Her mind was not able to register those terms he was using. Ignorance? When she did that?
He glared and spoke up in the same tone, "Yes, your ignorance for me! You were ignoring me downstairs, that's why you came here. I know that, I can see that on your face. You have been kind of afraid of me for some reason. Don't you?"
Is he right? Was she really ignoring him? She was surely running away from him but does that mean she was avoiding him? She can never do this as she had got him after waiting for 15 long years. Her mind was not ready to admit it.
She back fired with a little boldness, "No, I am not!" She ferociously nodded her head in negotiation, adding further, "I can never!"
He sighed aloud, hung his head down. The whole impact of wine was long forgotten to him.
He looked towards her with his hooded eyes, "Okayyy, I've got you. You can never!"
Saying so he slowly stepped towards her and grabbed her wrists in his hands while his eyes were pooling in the emotion of insight.
His voice choked at first but he managed to speak, "Prisha always remember, I can bear anything but not your ignorance. Whenever you do that my flesh burns in restlessness and my mind becomes hazy. So I am warning you please, never ever do that. Never run away from me. Alright?"
Somewhere in her heart, she agreed with what he was accusing her for, so without a delay she immediately responded, "Sorry Ryan, I will not repeat this again in the near future."
Tears escaped from her eyes as she hugged him tightly. He reciprocated and caressed her head with his palm.
The fight between the couple she was scared of from her childhood happened. Whenever she dreamt about Ryan back then she always made sure to tell herself that they won't fight with each other but today she experienced this. Now she doesn't want to experience it once more. She had controlled herself till now and would continue to in future too. She won't make it happen again as she loves him a lot. A lot!
Their embodiment got attached just like they were infatuated with each other.
Breaking the hug, "We should go downstairs, everyone might be looking for us." Prisha suggested.
"Sure."
They made their way to the ground floor and attended the entire party night like nothing happened.
Eating and talking yet still not dancing. It would take some time for them. They only know this.
What an irony! Two lovers feel they want each other, crave for each other and love each other. But foolish them, don't know, they have to walk a long path to attain the stage of love as this was just an infatuation, a mere infatuation!
