Blood Bound – Act 2, Balcony Scene
Chapter 15
“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
– Douglas H. Everett
“So what are you doing today Swara? Let us all hit the pub today! What say?” Sahil asked her. Swara and Ragini were in the kitchen busy preparing coffee and breakfast for all.
She has spent yesterday night at Sanskaar’s home and they decided to give what was between them a fair chance as it is Swara’s notions that he was her professor were not true. Heck! she wasn’t even a real student but now she had to finish one year before she could leave the college.
She blushed thinking about Sanskaar. She had slept with Sanskaar on his damn couch yesterday and it was so magical and she said sleeping she meant exactly that no hanky panky’ she pouted but being in his arms for the whole night and that feels she just could not describe.
Swara had never been so emotionally romantic but this Mr. Maheshwari was turning her into a mush ball.
Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts when Ragini clicked her fingers in front of her.
“Want to share what’s on your mind Swara?” Ragini asked with a frown on her face and cutting Sahil’s question.
“No.. there’s nothing going on so there’s nothing to share Swara said with a big smile.. she din’t want to reveal about her relationship with Sanskaar to anyone just yet because even though she knew she wasn’t really his student others din’t and she did not want to jeopardise his career.
“Again with getting lost in your own thoughts Swara” Ragini called out to her shaking her head she looked at Sahil.
“I don’t think I can make to the pub tonight Sahil.. I already have plans” Swara said trying to look sorry but she had a small smile playing on her lips.
Sahil looked dejected ‘He’s behaving so odd these days’ Ragini noticed whereas Swara was happy in her own bubble.
Swara went to her room with her coffee and was lazying around in her bed listening to all kinds of romantic songs on her mac book.
Jheeni hai bheeni hai khushboo teri hai
Main mehak rahi hoon
Jheeni hai bheeni hai khushboo teri hai
Main mehak rahi hoon
She heard a knock on her window. She got up and rushed to her window. Sanskaar was hanging on her window grinning like an idiot.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Swara hissed.
“Are you going to let me in or will I have to hang on your window the whole day?” he asked still grinning.
His grin so infectious even Swara began to grin but then she suddenly remembered what if someone would see him hanging here and hitting her palm on her forehead she helped him inside.
Khatti hai, meethi hai, boliyan teri hain
Main chehak rahi hoon
Tu chahat purani shararat nayi hai
Yaqeen toh dila de, tu hai ya nahi hai
Aaye haaye.. zubaan bhi phisalne lagi
“So what exactly are you doing here Mr. Professor?” she asked a small smile playing on her lips.
“I am here to meet my sweet girlfriend”
“Where is she then? Can I meet her?”
“She is just here standing in front of me looking as gorgeous as ever” he said and cupping her face pressed his lips to her. Swara tightly gripped his short hair and pushed on her bed so that she could kiss him more freely.
She felt like she could keep on keep on kissing him forever. He tasted like fresh mango and mint… yummm her favourite. He pinched her bottom which made her gasp and squeal in surprise. Taking advantage of her momentary surprise he shoved his tongue in her mouth and Swara reciprocated readily. They tongues literally fighting for dominion. The kiss which started out as a sweet innocent one soon turned out into a full blown make out.
Hui hui main toh hui shayrana hui
Hui hui main toh hui shayrana hui
Gungunane lagi aashiqana hui
Hui hui main toh hui shayrana hui
Oo.. aa.. shayarana huyi.
Sanskaar flipped them over so now he was on top of her. He was supporting his weight on his elbows so as to not up his weight pressure on Swara. Swara flipped them over once again.
“OOUCHHHH”
Swara opened her eyes. She had fallen off her bed as the song ended. She covered her face with her palms as her face turned even more redder than a tomato and tapped her head lighted shaking her head.
She was day dreaming about a make out Sanskaar in the middle of the freaking day.
“Swara! you better be ready or we will be late for Mr. Maheshwari’s lecture” Sam screamed from downstairs.
“Oh God! How am I going to face him after this dream” she groaned. She felt so embarrassed.
*********~~~~~**********
“Oh Come on Swara lighten up! you’ve been so frigid since you came downstairs this morning.. What’s wrong with you?” Sam nudged her shoulder.
“Nothing Sam” she sighed “I am not feeling well”
“Ohh honey I think you just need to get laid” Kavya winked at her and burst out laughing. Sam and Kavya hi-fi’ed each other.
“Please, please go ahead and have fun on my expense” Swara sulked.
“Oh babes lighten up” said Kavya.
“Do not tease my friend you two idiots” Said Ragini in fake anger.
“Aye aye mother” Kavya mock saluted her.
Ragini rolled her eyes at Kavya’s childish behaviour.
Soon their fun was cut short as they reached the classroom. Sanskaar was already seated in his chair his attention on some papers he was checking. All Swara could about after looking at him was her dream. Sanskaar was wearing a white tee and black pants and his lean muscles visible through his see through tee.
All the first benches were filled with girls trying to capture Sanskaar’s attention she wanted to roll her eyes at their behaviour but she felt a jolt of jealousy. ‘How dare these girls throw themselves at Sanskaar’ she thought ‘and why is he letting them’ she huffed angrily though she knew her anger was misplaced.
As soon as she entered Sanskaar looked up at her and grinned at her discreetly. When Swara din’t respond he pouted and Swara wished to kiss she could kiss his pout away.
Sanskaar kept his papers aside and started with the golden rules of accounting.
“So the first rule is ‘Debit the giver, Credit the receiver’… Second ‘Debit all expenses and losses,Credit all incomes and gains’ and third ‘Debit what comes in and Credit what goes out’ …….
Swara noticed the way his mouth was move and how he was frowning when someone asked a stupid doubt it was one those bimbos sitting in the front showing off their boobs and trying to flirt with him.
The hour flew away and Swara realised now she will have to attend poetry after this and groaned. She really wishes she could quit.. but then Sanskaar’s face flashed in front of her eyes and smiling she shook her head.. she was behaving like a love sick teenager.. love?! shaking her head she talked to Sanskaar’s table after almost everyone had left the class.
Sanskaar looked up at her and smiled ” So what’s up….. girlfriend?”
“Sanskaar” she whined “when are you going to hell me with Romeo and Juliet?”
“How about tonight my place?” he said grinning like he had won a lottery ticket.
Swara nodded and after looking around to check if everyone had left she kissed his cheek and ran to leave.
“That’s not where you are supposed to kiss Swara” Sanskaar frowned.
“Tonight” Swara said and left promise filled in the room.
*********~~~~~~~~**********
“Swara you’ve got full marks in this poetry assignment.. truthfully I din’t expect you to do so well but you have and I am proud.. in any case your poetry is going to be published in the University magazine this year” My poetry teacher said smiling and in my mind I was finding ways to kill her. What can I say she just brought out the violent side in me.
“And yes we ready for your Romeo Juliet assignment I have a lots of expectations from you now”
‘Great’ Swara mentally groaned and the excusing herself she left.
All her classes were done for the day and so she left for home. After a poetry class like that she felt mentally drained.
Ragini was already there eating some chips and tv and chilling on the sofa.
“Hey Rags do you have some cutsy dress I can borrow for tonight?” Swara asked hoping Ragini won’t question her further.
Ragini narrowed her eyes at her.. “I don’t think we have any plans for tonight then why do you need a dress missy?” she asked placing her hand on her waist.
“Vohh..ummm… vohhh…”
“You are totally going on a date, aren’t you?” Ragini asked.
“It’s… it’s nothing like that Ragini… it’s just like a study date”
“wohhooo” Ragini started jumping on the couch. Swara looked horrified at Ragini’s response and felt embarrassed.
“No need to feel embarrassed honey just come with me.. I think I have the perfect dress for you”
“Here now you are looking perfect” Ragini clapped her hands together excitedly. Ragini had dressed her in a very cute but beautiful dress not too fancy not too over just perfect and did some makeup too which very subtle and light.
“Now go and enjoy your date” Ragini sang happily.
“It’s not a date Ragini” Swara stressed and while but she could hear the echo of Ragini’s laughter.
Swara rang the door bell to Sanskaar’s house. He opened the door, standing there looking as s*xy as ever. Swara felt like devouring him then and there but when she looked around the noticed the ambience it was dark but candles lit all over his living room area and rose petals spread on the floor. It was so beautiful that Swara felt like crying.
Suddenly the air was thick with emotions unsaid between them.
“O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?” Said Sanskaar.
Swara smiled she recognised the dialogue. it was from Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Balcony Scene.
“What satisfaction canst thou have to-night?” she replied.
“The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.”
“I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
And yet I would it were to give again.”
“Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?”
“But to be frank, and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
“I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu!
Anon, good nurse! Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again.” continued Swara.
“O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.” Said Sanskaar and swara just couldn’t resist she ran and hugged him as tightly as possible.
**********~~~~~~~~**********
“”How far have you reached in your plan? Does she reciprocate some feelings of yours?” She asked.
“I don’t think so mam” he said he head down and eyes on the floor.
“I don’t like failures” she said her eyes red with anger.
“Please give me one more chance Iwill make her fall for me and your way to Sanskaar will be cleared.” he begged.
“Go from here you filthy werewolf and remember I don’t give third chances” He nodded and left.
