The truth never fades away

IshAnu's home

Isha and Shantanu still sat on the bed, close to each other. Suddenly, Isha looked up at Shantanu, a tint of mischief in her eyes. Shantanu looked at her, wondering what she was about to say. Isha cleared her throat.

"Waise Shantanu, ek baat puchoon main tumhe?" She asked finally, her voice low, her fingers placing circles on his chest.

"Haa...zaroor, pucho?" Shantanu said as he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Tumne mere liye mere inner wears order ki thi nah?" She asked, after taking in a deep breath. Her heart beat hard in her chest as she felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"Haan?" Shantanu asked, frowning. He sensed the flirtuous tone in her question, but patiently waited for her to ask what she really wanted to ask.

"Hmm...toh..mujhe yeh puchna tha ki tumhe pata kaise chala ki mera size kya hain?" Isha asked, a slight blush on her cheeks, but inside her  chest, her heart thumped with shyness. Still, she looked him straight into his eyes with a mischievous smile on her face. 

Shantanu was a little taken aback by the question. But smiled as he had an equally flirty answer to her question. He moved his arm down her waist and pulled her towards him. Their bodies collided with each other and their face were close to each other. Isha's hands were clutched into his shirt. Her eyes big and wide, with the sudden romantic action of Shantanu.

"Isha...itne saalon se tumme thodi si bhi change nahi aayi, tum Abhi bhi waise hi dekhti ho. Waise hi ho, jaise pehle thi...(goes close to her ear)...aur jab tab ka size mujhe pata tha, toh ab kyun pata nahi hoga...pati hoon, sab kuch jaanta hoon," he whispered into her ears, while his eyes were closed. Isha, by now, had clutched her hands harder into his shirt, his chest feeling the sting of her nails lightly. Her eyes were also closed as she felt his warm breath against her face.

Shantanu looked at her, their faces still close to each other. As Isha opened her eyes, she found him already looking at her with a loving smile on his face. Her cheeks flushed red as he thoroughly looked into her eyes, still holding her tightly by her waist.

Shantanu brought his free hand towards her cheeks and brought her forehead to his'. The only sound in their room was the sound of their slow and rhythmic breathing. Their eyes were closed once again and their foreheads were leaned against each other.

Isha slowly opened her eyes. Scanning on his closed eyes, her gaze went downwards to his lips what had formed a satisfying smile. His thin lips were tightly kept on each other, parting in between to take in a breath. Isha's gaze moved again towards his closed eyes and then again towards his lips.

She imagined herself taking his lips into hers as he parted away his lips. To taste every inch of his tongue, to give herself completely to him, because she knew, if there was a place what she could refer as her safe place, it was he. What a beautiful feeling it was, to be wrapped into his arms, to have his lips into hers and to share a kiss that deepened with every passing second.

Imagining this, Isha's hand slowly moved upwards towards his cheek. Shantanu chucked on the ticklish feeling he got as her finger traced his cheek. He opened his eyes only to find her gaze already on him. He smiled a little. Isha brought her finger towards his lips, brushing her fingers slightly on his lips. Shantanu's hold tightened even more around her waist.their noses touched each other and their lips were inches away. The eyes again closed. Isha and Shantanu both waited for the other one to start the kiss. In their heart run a fire of desperation, yearn and love.

Just as their lips were about to touch each other, the sound of the phone ringing startled them. They parted away and looked at the phone of Shantanu , which laid on their bed, just a little away from them. The name of Rajiv shone on the display.
