Isha opened her eyes and found herself on Shantanu's body. She lifted her head and saw Shantanu sleeping peacefully and his hands wrapped around her body. She smiled went up and kissed on his forehead. Shantanu frowned while sleeping. Isha smiled and silently went to the washroom.
Isha stared towards her naked self. The red lovebites all over her body were Shantanu's love. She smiled. This lovebites became her favorite. She felt peace. She felt happy.
After almost half an hour, Isha came outside from the washroom. She was wearing a red salwaar suit. Shantanu was still asleep. Isha went to him. She sat just beside him. She adored her cute, sweet husband. Suddenly Shantanu's hands pulled her towards him. She leaned on his body, her face just inches away from him. Isha's left hand was on bed which was giving her support. She frowned as Shantanu was smiling looking towards her. She asked,
— Tum pehele hi uth gaye!
— Ha... Phir suna meri biwi naha rahi hai to main phir thoda so gaya!
— I am not your biwi yet, Shantanu Sir!
— Accha... To bana lunga, koi problem nahi hai.
— Filhaal naha lo. Jao.
As soon as Shantanu sat on the bed Isha frowned. He made face. She asked,
— Kya hua?
— Kuch nahi.
— Areh, mujhe dikh raha hai kuch hua hai. Kaha dard ho raha hai, bolo.
— Kahi nahi.
He stood up from the bed. Now, Isha was able to see his pain. His whole back was red. Isha remembered how she stratched on his back the previous night. She said,
— Yeah kya. Tumhara pura back to... God! Isiliye dard ho raha hai. Baitho baitho.
She made Shantanu sit. She was going towards her bag as the first aid box was in it only when Shantanu stopped her. He made her sit on his lap. He said,
— Kuch nahi hua hai Isha.
— Dard horaha hai. I know.
— Accha. To tumhe bhi horaha hoga lovebites pe, unka kya?
— Areh, maine dawa lagaya hai. And utna dard nahi horaha hai. But...
— Isha, kaal lovebites maine hi diya hai. I know dard horaha hai. To hisaab to barabar ho gaya na? Phir. Itna amtt socho. Or kaal jo hua uske liye I can bear any pain.
Isha smiled and gave him a fake slap. He kissed her on her lips. He noticed the lovebites on her neck, proudly proving the hardness of his love. Isha said,
— Chalo jao nahane. Jao, jao.
Shantanu went to washroom and Isha started combing her hair. Suddenly, a knock came from outside. She thought it was the staffboy maybe. But as soon as she opened the door, she got a surprise.
Atul's eyes were stuck on the lovebites on Isha's neck. This lovebites were too deep, he knew this was not a normal lovebite. They did it! The thought made him feel a pain on his chest. He asked Isha,
— Sh... Shantanu kaha hai?
Isha was too surprised to talk. She finally broke the silence and said,
— Woh naha raha hai. Um...
Just then, Shantanu came outside from the washroom. He ignored the door man as he thought it was some staffboy. Atul clearly saw the scratch marks on Shantanu's back which made him sure. Isha said to Shantanu,
— Sh... Shantanu, idhar aao.
Shantanu wore a tshirt and came to the door. As soon as he saw Atul, he looked towards him with the same surprised look. Atul tried to smile and said,
— A... Andar aasakta hu?
Shantanu said,
— H... Ha.
Atul went inside and sat on the sofa. Isha asked him,
— Yeha kaise?
— W... Woh ek case ke silsile mein aana para. Ishaan ne kaha ki tum dono yeha ho to maine socha meet karlu.
Shantanu smiled and said,
— Accha kiya. Kya khayega bol.
— Bhukh maar gayi re.
— Kaise?
— Areh, matlab abhi maan nahi hai. Main apne kaamre mein jaunga. Woh baas milne aaya tha.
— Accha. Tu yeha hi ruka hai. Wah. Phir milenge.
Atul nodded his head and went away from room. Isha felt something different. She neevr felt this in the past seven years with Atul. Today, it felt like Atul' eyes were saying something. But what? Isha had no answer.
******************
Atul went to his own room and drank a whole glass of water. He sat on the floor and tears fell from his eyes. He asked god,
— Kyu kiya yeah? Kyu? Isha to hamesha Shantanu ki hi thi phir mujhe kyu pyaar karwaya unse. Woh lo... Lovebites, Shantanu ke back ka scratches dekh ke mujhe laga ki woh saab mera majak bana rahe hai. Aisa kyu hota hai mere saath? I love her, but...
He had nothing to say. He knew everything was right. Shantanu and Isha were right as they were so much in love but he felt bad for himself. Why love is so much painful?
