HER ONE NIGHT STAND

THE ATTACK

Since it was already late Myra declined dinner and requested Ritwik to drop her home straight away .Myra's flat was about half an hour from Ritwik's place so he decided to come home and have dinner.

On reaching home when Ritwik asked to accompany her inside Myra refused. "Ritwik it is late so I advise you to just drop me and leave."

"Myra are you scared that if I enter your house you are so strongly attracted to me that you won't be able to keep your hands off me?", Ritwik teased her.

"Of course not, It's just that I don't want to delay you any further."

"Ok fine just come in."

Ritwik accompanied her inside. Her flat reflected her tastes. It was a small three bedroom flat tastefully decorated. The furnishing was minimal but elegant. The kitchen was small but seemed to be sufficient for a working lady.

He seated himself on her large three seater black leather sofa and looked around. The entire place was neat and tidy. There were no scattered clothes or magazines lying around.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Just plain water", replied Ritwik.

After having a glass of water Ritwik left her house.

Myra had changed to a nighty and was having a cup of coffee watching her favourite TV show when the doorbell rang. Assuming it to be one of her neighbours she opened the door without checking the eyehole.

She was shocked to find Jatin at the door. He seemed to be drunk.

"Jatin what are you doing here and that to at this time of the night?"

"I was just passing by when I saw you enter with Ritwik. I decided to drop by and apologise for my behavior that day."

"Fine I have forgotten the incident so you don't need to apologize. You may leave now."

"If you have forgiven me then at least get me a glass of water and I will leave."

Myra moved to the kitchen but Jatin followed her. He was looking at her with such an intensity that she felt he was mentally undressing her. She had to get rid of him immediately.

Before she could do anything he had pushed her towards the kitchen counter and was trying to kiss her."Myra you are so beautiful I can't stop myself."

He started kissing her forcibly and when she retaliated he laughed at her saying ,"I love wild women. Your behavior is a major turn on for me."

She tried to push him but he was quite bulky."Jatin this is wrong. Please leave."

"Oh no darling there is nothing wrong in this I promise you that you will love every moment of this." She kicked him but missed .She screamed and tried to run but he caught her nighty and ripped the front off. She was braless and his eyes looked at her breasts greedily."Today I will have you, you will be mine forever."He pulled her towards him but before he could taste her he received a punch at his face.

Myra saw Ritwik and rushed to him. She was crying and screaming.

Ritwik beat Jatin very badly and threw him out of her house." You son of a bitch, if it wasn't for your wife you would be in jail by now. Don't you dare show me your face ever again lest I would kill you"

Jatin was bleeding profusely. He left.

Myra was in poor shape. First he searched her cupboards and found a fresh t shirt for her to wear. He gently removed her nighty and made her wear a fresh pair of slacks with the t shirt. He closed all the lights, asked for her keys, locked her house and took her home in his car.

He took her to the guestroom and gave her some brandy and asked her to sleep.

He was furious. He could have killed Jatin on the spot ..He poured himself a glass of whisky. He kept thanking his stars that he had forgotten his mobile at her place. When he tried to call her using his other number she had not replied even after repeated calls. He felt something was wrong and he rushed back. When he saw her door slightly ajar he entered , That is when he heard her scream. When he saw the scene in the kitchen he felt like murdering Jatin.

He was having his second glass of whisky when he heard her scream. He rushed to her room..She was crying "Ritwik what did I do to deserve this? I am feeling so dirty .It is as if I have become impure. Somebody has polluted me."

"Shh Myra there is nothing wrong with you. He is a sick man .Just don't think about the incident and go to sleep."

"I can't sleep.

Whenever I close my eyes I can see his face. I see him eyeing me greedily, the lusty look of his face . Ritwik can you sleep with me in this room today? I can't bear to be alone."

Ritwik slipped in the covers beside her. After some time she fell asleep holding his hand. He looked at her .She looked so innocent in her sleep. That bastard had tried to violate her. He felt so helpless .He felt very protective towards her. He would not send her home till she recovered from this shock. Tomorrow morning he would give a final warning to Jatin and also get a court order restraining him to come near her.

For the first time in his life he slept with a woman platonically but it was a deep and restful sleep.
