Her Racing Heart (Part 1)

43

"You...do you want anything to drink", Meera asked to end the awkward silence and wanted to escape from his intense enigmatic gaze.

"Coffee", he replied and Meera immediately got up and scurried to the Kitchen. She sighed deeply and still, her heart didn't come out of the effect.

She looked at the rain, why this all happened today. Why I asked him about this, what is the need? Am I again going to fall in love with him, that's what my heart wanted? Is this what I need? She felt and her racing heart acquainted her questions are right.

She cleared her mind and start to prepare coffee. She carried the warm cups in her hand and searched for Vikranth. Her eyes catch him, he's standing near the entrance of the living room.

His hands were in his pocket and that gave a perfect view of his broad shoulders, sculptured shape. He's watching the rain, thinking about something.

Meera went near him, Vikranth turned to his side when he felt her presence. He bought the cup in his hands giving a smirk.

"How you're feeling now?" he asked looking at the rain.

"Much better", she replied and raised her gaze to see his face. Vikranth looked somewhat tired, he's tanned and his cleanly shaved face exposed his perfect jawline. Meera unknowingly started admiring her husband, she can't help herself, her poor heart that still carrying the love on him making her weak. Even she ran away from him to the other end of the world, her heart will again shove her near him, remembering his memories and touch.

"I am sorry, I didn't intend to ask you all this. But when I saw all those things I felt really confused and tired of thinking them", Meera said.

"It's Ok, fine", Vikranth replied and avoid conversing the same past.

Meera looked away and the chill wet breeze stroked her skin. Her eyes were fixed on the slow and steady drizzle, Vikranth looked her sideways, Meera is just near his shoulder, her hair was tied in a messy bun and her curvy figure made Vikranth to clench his jaw. When Meera turned to see him, he shifted his gaze and sipped his coffee.

"You said, you will come after a month, is your work finished earlier?" Meera questioned.

"No, I got some free time so I came here. I am going back tomorrow", he replied without seeing her.

"Oh" she turned again in a disappointment because of his early retire and that reflected on her face. Vikranth gripped his palms controlling his inner arousals.

"Meera let us go inside", Vikranth commanded and Meera nodded her head. She walked before him, without his control Vikranth eyed traced her curvy hip, she doesn't know how much Vikranth needed to kiss and taste every bit of her body.

Vikranth placed the cup on the table and went to his room. Meera can feel that he's looking her in a different way, and she felt a very strange feeling inside her. She went into the kitchen and washed the cups, along with other dishes.

After doing her work, she searched for snowbell under the couch, staircase, dining table. She searched entirely on living room but it is nowhere to be found. She went to the upstairs, Vikranth's room was wide open but she went to her room and there snowbell was sitting in its place.

"Oye... I am searching you everywhere", she said and sat beside it. She nudged its small head, cheeks and smiled for realizing how cute that creature is.

She got up and laid in her bed looking at the window. The sound of rain and wind echoed her heart beat. She doesn't know why it is still racing.
Her heart is in an elated state because she again found the love that she has hidden deep in her heart, she is feeling a nameless, reasonless happiness. The feeling of fulfillment calmed her.
