Part 9: Chained to you: Safely

Part 9: Chained to you: Safely

Weeks flew by and the life for both of them stayed the same.

Karrisa is busy with the university work and life, without any interest in making friends and keeping herself away from the social life. She hasn’t seen the city yet, nor is she interested to visit the life outside the campus mainly because she has no one to accompany. Sometimes life seems boring to her, because for how long one can live without indulging into social norms of being a social animal? Also she can’t visit her family coz she doesn’t want to go and see those old surroundings of her, where she has spend all her life loving and caring for those who did not care about that at the end. She is alone and sad and all her pains & wounds haven’t healed yet.

Kian on the other hand, is busy spying his Cara. He knows all that she is doing and he is aware that she is alone but is unable to help her because she herself is not willing to help herself. Also for him, it is getting really difficult to see her like this. So he thought of playing another trick, to get close to her and made her realize that life is more than being sad and alone. Though this will be a little harsh, but she being the hardest nut to crack, he can not think of anything else other than this.

Notice is up for the students residing in the Block D of hostels for vacating it by next week, for some time, as this has to go under renovation. And the blow is hard for Karissa. Now the big question is, even if this is for one day, where will she go? She doesn’t know anyone, she is not aware of the life outside the campus and with the alliance from the university; she cannot manage with the rental component for staying outside. She is worried and sad again. She cannot share this trouble with her family back home because she just doesn’t want to make it hard for them too.

During the worried days passing by, the weekend arrived. Karissa is again in her hostel room, thinking of what to do and how to go further with no one known around, she hears a knock on the door.

“There is a call for you”, the care taker informed.

With a blurry memory of Mr. Knight she arrived in the common room to attend the call.

Hey Cara! How are you doing?

Hello Mr. Knight (in the low tone) she replied. I am fine and I hope the same at your end too. Sorry I couldn’t get back to you for weeks as the university is keeping me busy. I hope you don’t mind my lazy behavior though.

Oh! I can understand, how difficult it is for you to manage the assignments and the new people together. Don’t worry, I know and completely supports you in this. Anyways, I am just curious to know if now you can spare sometime to roam around with me during this weekend. Rather I am not asking you this time. I am calling you to tell that I will be there at your campus gate in around an hour, just be ready by that time.

But……

I am not going to take any of your excuses. Just be ready in an hour.

But listen to me for once……

I will, don’t worry, but only when we meet. I will give you ample opportunity to talk and I promise that I will listen to all that you have to share. But for now, just go and get ready.

OK. See you soon.

Kian’s POV

Thank god she is coming. I am going to see her after this long and I am happy that I will be with her in person for atleast sometime today, until we are together for longer, in just few more days.

I hope she shares with me the details of what’s going on around her, though I know it already, but hearing from her and suggesting her solution is little more convenient. Let’s see!

Why this is the longest one hour? Oh I can’t wait to see my girl, anymore.

Karissa’s POV

Oh! Whenever I am in the middle of everything nonsense, this man always comes as a savior. I wish if I can share with him my problems and as in past, he can help me to come out of it.

One hour and so much to do! Why this one hour can increase its length? I have to pack my stuff and prepare for moving out and vacating the room by next two days and now this getting ready for the meeting is another thing I have to manage.

After EXACTLY ONE HOUR

Kian’s heart is beating faster than normal and Karissa’s too. The reason is opposite though. Kian is excited to see his girl, and Karrisa is running to make it on time on the campus gate.

I really wish if she comes and hug me the tightest possible. I really wish, Kian is thinking with both his eyes glued on the gate to see her.

I wish I will be there on the gate on time to meet Mr. Knight without making him wait. Karissa is running faster with this thought running in her mind simultaneously.

And finally the two of them see each other.

The moment their eyes locked the sight, Karissa stopped there and the time seems to get stopped for Kian. The thoughts in both of their heads are not the same but the outcome of their though process is same and that is faster heart beats.

Hey Cara. It’s so good to see you. Though you have got thinner but looking as pretty as always. May be our city is not treating you well. Or maybe you are missing Vegas more than anything else.

Hello Mr. Knight. Its good to see you too. And thank you very much for sticking along; even after getting my lazy behavior in return.

( I will make you feel eager too, to meet me and hug me; the way I feel it for you) the thoughts that are running in his mind.

Hello…… you seems to be lost in some other world Mr. Knight. Is there is something bothering you? She said this, when she didn’t get any reply from him.

No No… I am fine. Its just that I am not very familiar with someone so pretty calling me Mr. Knight instead of Kian.

And they both smiled.

Lets get in the car and I will show you the world around.

No actually, I am in no mood to see the city rather let’s have a cup of coffee at some peaceful place. I am longing for some peace of mind and good company. I really miss my people. And thank God I know you here else, what would I have done!

What is the matter Cara? Is there is something that is bothering you? You can always share and you this. Why are you sounding so lonely and sad? Comeon, come here and give me a hug and know that you are not alone. Never ever.

And with this line, Kian pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly to make her feel loved and cared. But more than that, he himself needed the comfort of her body, her fragrance and her aura around him.

Thank you for always been there Kian. I know you will protect me, whenever I have to get protected.

Let’s go then and on the way, you can share your trouble with me. And I promise, I will stop the car only after sorting out your problem.

There is his driver who will be driving them to wherever they want but for now he is instructed to just drive on the roads until the next instruction.

Both of them get settled on the back seat. Kian is ready to listen to his Cara. And she explained everything that is happening in the university and her notice for vacating the hostel room and her trouble of not knowing where to go and how to manage the rental expense?

While telling him about all this, she started to sob and how can Kian miss the opportunity of holding her near to him? He held her hand in one of his and placed her head on his shoulder and told her to keep calm.

This is just this small Cara. Why are you worried this much? You can come and stay with me in my apartment, which have ample space and moreover, no one is there to disturb you with any sort of thing. You are just a silly girl that if this small little thing is bothering you so much, you could have called and shared. Now smile, pack your stuff right away after coffee and come with me for any number of days you want (though I wish if you say that let it be forever).

But……

No ifs and buts dear. Just do what I say.

No! I can’t bother you this much. All I want is that if you can please find me a place to stay for few days until the hostel is ready to be occupied again.

Buy why can’t you stay with me in my apartment? Why do you always have to make it difficult for both of us?

I have to think about it before taking any decision.

And why can’t you think it right away. Rather, take it as a command that you have to pack up and move with me right away.

But I cannot take this as a favour. How about if I can compensate you in any form, if not cash? Please don’t say No. else I cannot move with you.

OK Ok. Think of any suitable way of paying back the favour, but just pack your stuff and move with me. Now I have another suggestion that you pack your stuff right away, and let’s go home and have coffee there only.

With all the shiny eyes and broad smile, she agreed and driver is being instructed to get back to campus.

Final: SHE's with ME

The night passed by in a blink of an eye. We were contented, feeling complete as we were two bodies one soul by the morning. The distance between us, since six months has vanished like it never existed. The company of each other, the smile which we bring to each other by just being with each other is that matters the most at present. I never wanted this time to end. Never wanted Zarek to go back again, never wanted him to leave me for any reason, what so ever. But not everything you want can happen… I knew he has to go again for completing his training before he can get his final posting.

We headed towards his parents’ home in the morning. They were surprised to see both of us together but their surprise was smaller than the happiness which they were feeling by seeing their son after six long months. Mrs. Ludwig has made all his favorite dishes and Mr. Ludwig has another surprise for him in store. He presented him with a dashing grey colour suit and announced that we are getting engaged on Sunday morning. That was the best news ever I have heard since my arrival in Denmark. I was feeling like on the seventh cloud and it seems that nothing better than this can ever happen to me in life. We were delighted to know the news and I was happy to know that my parents are also dropping in by evening, which they wanted to keep a surprise but got flashed in the way of other news. Zarek’s mom instructed him to take me for shopping to buy a pretty dress for myself for tomorrow. And he followed her instructions. We went to the Indian boutique so that I can choose something similar to what I always wanted to wear on my special day. And finally, after spending about an hour, I got something which I always wanted to have.

By the evening, when we were back home, My parents were already there. They were extremely happy to see me and so were me. The joy to see me getting hooked with the guy full of self esteem and the person self made is the proud feeling for them. They knew that he is the perfect choice and I cannot be happier than this. By the mid night, we all were dead tired and wanted to take some rest. Also me and Zarek wanted to look the fresh flowers on our day, so we decided to head towards our rooms.

Immediately after coming out of the place where they all were sitting, and on the way towards their room; Zarek stopped in between and pinned me to a wall. His lips descended on mine. The warmth of his mouth was intoxicating. His tender kiss was so sensuous. I was excited, terrified, nervous, exploding with desire. A sensation, like a bolt of lightning shot through me. “Aarshiiii”, his voice became unraveled at the edges. My mouth lifted from his, gazing into his eyes. He kissed my trembling lips again. A silent despairing groan locked in my throat. Our mouths met in an explosion of mutual need. His fingers splayed the flesh at my neck, my body tingled. I wanted to feel his masterful fingers more but then with a noise, we parted ourselves from each other and moved towards our respective rooms after saying good night to each other.

The next day, the big day for us…… Zarek's dad went to him and told him that before he ties the knot and say “I DO” to me, he wanted to share few words with him and he continued like this:

“My son, treat it like a journey, a beautiful journey, you two have to make. If life was a boat, you two would be the sailors weaving carefully through the storms. Your job will be to cherish her, love her and always remember that she will make mistakes and so will you. You will have to learn to accept her for all she is.” And with all these lessons, Zarek and I got engaged for the life time.

          After a training of one more year, he came back to our city to complete his training for the next six months before he can join the job. And during the training only, he got an apartment near to my university. That day we were meeting after seven months. He came to my university and I had to meet him after my classes. He came closer and said “I’ve missed you so much,” he hugged me fiercely. It was there when I looked into his eyes. Everything I have ever hoped for, his love only for me, his devotion only for me, his eyes said it all. I met his gentle, tender gaze filled with love and adoration… only for me. My eyes seared his, my lips trembled, no words could escape my mouth, but he was patiently waiting and I wanted to say it back desperately. “Zarek”, I threw my arms around him, lifted my face, my lips reaching his, we kissed each other passionately, until I drew away to catch my breath, “I missed you too”.

“I love you Aarshi and want to marry you right away”, he said. “Oh Zarek! I know you said you love me ____ more than once”, I smiled happily, “but I was not expecting a proposal…… well not this soon”. He reached into his overnight bag and retrieved a box, and carefully drew a superb flashy diamond ring from it, promptly slipping it onto my ring finger. “YOU BELONG TO ME AARSHI”, he exclaimed passionately. “Now will you marry me?” he demanded.

“Shouldn’t you asked first before you inserted your ring on my finger?”, I smiled and asked.  “Tell me you will marry me Aarshi”. “I will Zarek, Yes I will”, I wishpered.

          And we married sooner than soon. It’s my result day today. I went to Zarek’s office and asked his PA if he is expecting me and free to attend to me. “Go right ahead”, she winked. “He just buzzed me a minute ago and asked if you’ve arrived”. “Thank you”, I smiled and rushed into my man’s office.

          “Zarek”, I ran into his arms before he was barely out of his seat. He still made my heart beat faster than normal. I still find it difficult to tear my eyes away from his attractive body. Zarek’s eyes glowed indulgently. I looked radiant this morning he thought. There was understandably a glowing sparkle about me, and he knew exactly why.

          “Okay, tell me about your distinctions?” He grinned, pinning me into his arms and kissing me on my lips. He always find it difficult to keep his hands off me. He always find excuses to touch me.  He knew that I have come to tell him that I have passed. “Distinctions?”

          “Yes darling, your result came out today”. “Oh…… I have not checked yet”. “Why ever not?” he laughed. “Because I have better news than that!” I smiled ecstatically, wrapping my arms around his neck.

          “Oh? Aarshi you’ve already married me and I know that you have passed your exams that too with distinctions. What can be better than this?”

          “YOU ARE GOING TO BE A DADDY”

Nine months later…………

          Aarshi gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl… the splitting image of her pretty mummy, but surprisingly with a thick chunk of spiky blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes, clearly paternal genes. Zarek lifted his bundle of joy from the hospital cot and cradled her in his arms.

          “I love you, Aarshi. Thank you for blessing me with a gorgeous little daughter”, his eyes welled with tears. “My wife you have made me the happiest man in the world”

          “I love you too”, she murmured, reaching towards him, “As I am” reaching to her husband’s lips in a passionate kiss.

THE END

Part 6: SHE's with ME

I shook my head in an attempt to not to think much and to miss Zarek. I was never one to hide my emotions. What was the point of having these feelings if you couldn’t admit to them, even to yourself? All I knew was that I had never felt this way before with anyone else… Like something I could hold on to for a long time. It felt really good to be with Zarek and now I was missing him like anything.

And finally, after about six long months, Zarek is coming over for a weekend. We all were very excited and happy, specifically me, as I was missing him too badly now. So this weekend, I also have a plan to visit his parent’s house. On Friday afternoon, I got a call on my hostel’s landline. It can only be from his parent’s coz no one else usually calls me at that number. So I thought that they must be calling me to inquire about my arrival plans and of course about having some surprises fixed for Zarek. I went towards the common room where I have to attend the call. Before I could say Hello, I heard the voice of Zarek across.

“Hey Aarshi, how are you doing this morning? I know you are surprised rather shocked to hear my voice that too on this landline number at this hour of the day, but I couldn’t do anything else other than this. Because there is no other way to contact you.” Zarek said, without letting me speak even a single word till now. He further asked, “So do you miss me?” I could just say, “Do you have any doubt in that? I wish if I could see you just right away, without waiting for tomorrow.” He said, “Come out after your classes, and find me waiting for you there.” And that was the moment I just went blank. I could not wait for the classes to get over, I somehow, attended the classes till end and immediately after that I ran outside the campus.

I was ignorant of everything except that Zarek was walking towards me. Tears welled in my eyes, trickling down my cheeks, jubilation filled my heart. Zarek studied me from head to toe. “Tell me, they’re tears of joy…. I love you!” he groaned, drawing me into his arms. Zarek reached out his thumb and brushed away my tears. “I love you,” he repeated. He dipped his head and brushed his lips to mine. “I missed you so much”, I hugged him tightly and he continued to wipe away my tears. “Zarek”! I threw my arms around him, lifted my face, my lips reaching for his, “I love you too”. We kissed passionately, until I drew away to catch my breath.

Now it was Zarek to instruct the plan further. Although I had a plan to go to his parent’s house this evening; but he told me to call them and tell that I will be able to come only tomorrow morning as something urgent has come up and I cannot leave this evening. I have also been instructed to not to reveal that Zarek is already here. And as per the instructions, I did the same.

“Now let’s get out of here first”, he told while dragging me to the exit gate of the campus. I enquired about where we are going, but then that was also a surprise for me. To my surprise, Zarek also had a car, he drove with one hand on the wheel and the other tightly laced to me. Occasionally he would look across at me and smile, I would inhale and smile back. “Did you give your class, your undivided attention?” I nobbed in NO and told him that I could not. He then told that one of his training fellows has an apartment here and that is not occupied today. So he has borrowed the keys to that for one night and that is the place we are heading towards now.

Just after some 20 minutes, he parked the car hastily outside his friend’s apartment. He also had a small bag pack, possibly for weekend stay, which he carried in one of his hands. He linked his free hand in mine and led me inside the apartment. We were barely inside when Zarek impatiently drew me into his arms. His head dipped, capturing my already parted lips, gentle and tender. I responded with breathless fervor. He undid my top, his eyes drinking in my body. His mouth touched my quivering lips, my breathing was ragged, my eyes wide with desire. His palms splayed against my soft flesh; warm and pliable against his touch.

My cheeks were ruby red. Shyly my eyes lifted to his. Zarek laughed softly at my admiring gaze. I had been too shy, too nervous for the first time. “You are so beautifully shaped”, he groaned pleasurably. “So are you”, I heaved. “I don’t know how I kept my hands off you as long as I did. It’s a miracle actually.” He said. I laughed softly. “Zarek____ “I looped my arms around his neck, loving the feel of our bodies, flesh to flesh. My lips dragged to his hungrily.

He took me to the bed, holding onto me tightly, lips locked in the passionate embrace and hands clinched tightly onto each other. Gently he lowered me onto the bed. He kissed my stomach… instinctively my muscles tightened in response under his lips. I started burning up with desire, twisting impatiently beneath him, his every soft caress was erotic, pleasurable and satisfying. We sunk deep in each other, repeating the pulsating thrill, sometime slow… the other moment faster….. we had each other to the point of no return.

We were laying in each other’s arms, satiated, our bodies tangled together. My fingers stroking his skin caressingly. He was doing the same, brushing tiny kisses down the column of my neck, nuzzling and nibbling my flesh until I was quivering with an aching need for him all over again. And then I made a concerted effort to break away from him. I was smiling shyly, my eyes trained on him curiously.

“What?” Zarek chuckled.

“I can’t believe you love me this much when you are miles away from me and surrounded by so many stunning women_____!” He smiled and confirmed that I am at the top position in the list where practically no one else exists. And that is how we had a memorable stay for a whole night, for the very first time, together.
