ISHQ BULAVA : CALL OF LOVE [Wattys2018] [ILAs 2018]

Chapter Fourteen

Dedicated to my dear friend Labrinibetsiou

Precap:-

I could no more control myself and turned back and wrapped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his hard but warm chest. It gave me a sense of security and a type of security I had never experienced before. It felt as if nothing on earth can bend even a hair of me.

I started to sob but slowly the sob turned into a harshful cry when I heard what he said. He said those three magical words which one would crave all her life for, one would feel like the heavens had come down to earth.

He said "I love you. I love you, Vaidehi."

I looked up at him in utter shock. My tears dried away.

No! He must be kidding.

I looked into his brown orbs. I could see only love there. Nothing else was visible.

No lust?

I only knew that Abhi is a fuck boy who can fuck any girl on earth for his own pleasure. But no. His eyes were conveying on lust towards me. His eyes were pure.

This can't be. He should not fall for me. No way. I won't be able to love him back.
Said my mind but my heart said something else. It said me to search for the spark which was burning in me at that moment very brightly.

"Abhi! I need time." I said looking away.

"Okay you take as much time you want. I am waiting." He said as he layed down straight on the grassy ground.

"Abhi are you kidding me? I meant that I need to think upon this. Love is not a game like your daily sex routine!" Snapped I.

"So when did I say you that its a game?" He said as he crumbled comfortably on the ground, making himself lay more comfortably.

"Abhi! I'm serious. Get up we need to get back. It's not a good place." I scolded.

"You go." Was his straight forward answer.

"Abhi get up!" I more like ordered this time.

"I'm very tired. I can't." He said sleepily as he yawned.

"C'mon! I'm helping you." I said as I bent down to help him up.

I wrapped one of his arms around my shoulder to give him support as he placed his other palm on the ground to get support.

I pulled him and he was almoston his feet when suddenly he groaned out loudly, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Aughch!"

He held his stomach and again landed on his back on the ground, pulling me along with him down. I landed over his large frame. My breast touching his chest and head was so close to his that our cheeks brushed. My loose hair caressing his face. His lands snaked around my waist and my palms were on his chest, gripping his shirt tight for support.

I almost immediately pulled up my face a little above his. My loose strands were falling over his face. He loosened his one arm from around my waist and tucked my loose strand at the back of my ear. An innocent smile crept on his lips which was not much him.

There was a sudden thunder and then rain started to shower on us. I got back to my sesnses once I heard my bodyguard, Vidyut call out my name. I immediately got up on my feet  and looked into the woods from where I could see a gang of people along with Vidyut walking up to the direction of us.

As Vidyut saw me, he started running to me with an umbrella. He gave me the umbrella and helped Abhi on his feet as he saw him still groaning in pain, not being able to get up.

"Vidyut! Drop him home. I'll like to stay here for sometime longer." Said I ordering him.

"No way. Not in this rain." He said as he gripped my wrist in a tight fist.

"Don't forget your limits, Vidyut!" I shouted at him.

"I am not forgetting it. You only gave me the title of you elder brother and I am doing what an elder brother should have done." He shouted as I like a little kid followed his instuctions.

Vidyut was just like my elder brother. He was the son of our gardener. After his parent's death, he was kept back by my grandfather.

After I lost my parents, no one used to understand my loneliness except for Vidyut as he had also gone through the same as me. That is how we both grew closer and we developed this brother and sister relationship. Later as Vidyut grew up, he recruited him as my personal bodyguard.

I walked back to the place where the cars were standing.

Vidyut came to me and said, "My men will drop you to your canpus and I am taking your friend to his house. I don't feel that he would be able to drive and I don't want to keep such an expensive car just like that at the side of the street. It might get stolen."

He helped Abhi in the car and made him comfortable. Then he ordered his men to drive me to the campus and they started the engine and dropped me to the campus.

I walked inside the gate and tip toed to my room, ignoring the glance of our hostel keeper.

As soon as I reached my room, I pounced on my bed crying. Only I know that why I cried that day.

Being the MP of the town, my grandfather had a mere respect throughout the town. He had allowed me till great extents, going against the other heads of the town. He allowed me to chase after my dreams. He allowed me to wear clothes which our town's other girls were forbidden to wear. But this would never be possible. He would never be able to allow me to marry a Muslim.

I don't want Dadaji to lose his respect in town for me. But I really like Abhi! What shall I do?

I really need you now Ma!

The thunder storms and heavy rain was seeming like the universe was accompaning me in my grief.

I cried all night and couldn't sleep a bit.
