IF LOVE WAS EASY.......

LONG NIGHT

Meera Rati

It was nearly 11 when they reached back home. Disha almost crushed Priya in a hug when she entered the door. Meera tried to escape to her room in all this fiasco, but she had under estimated Priya.

'Where do you think you are going Miss Meera?' Priya asked sarcastically.

"It's too late and I am very tired, I was thinking of taking a bath and hitting the bed or else I will fall down sleep here only......." Meera tried to avoid the confrontation.

'Meera don't try to run away, you know I won't be quite till I get my answers' Priya warned her.

'What answers?' Disha was confused.

"Priya please, not today, I am very tired. We will play KBC some other time...... Please. ..... " Meera again tried.

'Come on Priya, leave the matter for now. Let her sleep for now. You can grill her in the morning, go and take a bath now, you really stink' Disha said.

"I don't stink......." Priya said angrily. "But there is something stinking for a long time but we never came to know about it till date...... right Meera"

Meera soon escaped into her room to avoid Priya. She went to bathroom and stood beneath the shower trying to wash away Siddhanth's feel. The way she felt in his arms, his smell, his touch, his care....... But how can one wash away what is imbeded in one's soul.

As she stood under that cold shower the old memories crashed into her like Tsunami waves drenching her in a flood of tears.

FLASHBACK

Meera was at the back of library, when she felt a sudden pull to the store room. She closed her eyes in fear as she felt a large hand closing her mouth.

But she felt a different kind of fear and excitement when that hands started exploring her differently.
Soon she was on fire when she felt his rough lips on her soft ones. It was not a sweet kiss, but a rough and demanding one. She couldn't believe how she was still a virgin with these much passion burning between them.

Soon they were out of breath when they separated.

"What was this Sid? What if someone saw us like this?" Meera asked concerned they were in a public place and anyone could come there and see them.

"What if someone sees us Meera? You are not my dirty secret to hide." Siddhanth said.

Meera was so happy by those words that she could not explain. But she also knew the consequences of being caught.

Whatever Sid said she feared Arun. He was acting rather strange these days and also her family. She wished to complete her studies before taking any major decision.

Though from a very conservative background Meera was very bold when it came to Siddhanth. She did many things that she would have never dreamed of doing. Late night drives, secret picnics, getting drunk, driving a bike...... ahh and what not. With Siddhanth she was a free bird. In cage of his hands she found her freedom.

It was he who developed the passion for photography in her and brought her 1st camera. But for her passion ment just capturing his different modes.

She would spend hours in his arms just listening to his poetry and his thoughts. It's for him she decided to understand poetry too. In his arms time seems to stop.
She had learnt cooking for him as he was foodie. And how she started eating non veg for him, even though she was a baramin. And how he endured her burnt food in the beginning.

He......

Meera's thought were broken by bang on the door by Priya who warned her to stop the shower or the water of building will soon be over.

Meera just wiped her tears and changed the dress laid down for a sleepless night touching the old camera and hurting herself again.

Naina Suri

Naina was still in shock when she reached her home, she could not believe that she had made deal with the devil himself. She shut her room and sat in darkness, thinking what had she done in her anger.

Just then her phone rang it was the matron of orphanage Sumitra ji.

"Naina could you believe it I just received a call from hospital that they found a donner and operation can be done as soon as the test is conformed" Sumitra ji was in seventh heaven.

"Ok..... I would come tomorrow" Naina said in a dull manner.

"What happened dear, why are you not happy. Had anything happened in the Mehra fashion house today....... Did he do anything?" Sumitra ji asked concerned.

"Nothing happened Sumitra ji, it's just that I am not feeling well..... I would call you tomorrow" she tried to cut short the conversation, least the old lady sniff something fishy.

"Arrre what happened? Should I send Vikram to your place.....?" Sumitra ji asked panicking.

"No..... It's just an head ache, Sumitra ji. I will be fine and come to Institute tomorrow, bye" saying this Naina cut the call.

She could not lie to her more. She was scared that how would she react when she would come to know about her relationship to Dhruv Mehra tomorrow. She was scared of reaction of her family and Riya what will she answer them, how will she face them.

Just as she was getting scared she received a message from an unknown number,

"GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART, HAVE HOT DREAMS ABOUT ME...... ONLY ME"

She was shocked who it was. She checked the number in Truecaller , but it was a private number. Then it striked her...... it was Dhruv Mehra's number. She felt like throwing her phone, but she had made the deal. She just shut her phone and tried to sleep......

Anamika Mehra

Anamika had a complete file on Meera Rati in front of her. From the details she was not shocked that Meera had a very painful and public divorce from Arun. Rather she was amazed that a simple girl like Meera had lived with him for 2 years.

Arun was an animal. He was a fox in sheep's skin. Drugs and women were his weakness and Meera his obsession. Even she felt unsafe in his presence. He tried to make a pass even on her. If not for her plan she would have made Arun suffer worse than death for making a move on her. But now she had her chance she no more needed him.

Anamika was not a person to forgive or forget anything, she did rather wait and strike when it hurt the most. Now it was starting of bad time for Arun....

But she was rather impressed from Meera's determination and even admired her to a extent. Even after the long list of pain given by her and others Meera still managed to raise above all and make her own identity. Meera was like her in many aspects, but with a heart and that what scared her most. And made her go after Meera. She never wanted anyone as strong as Meera by Siddhants side.

She had her new plan ready. But still unaware that Siddhant had much better plan......
