“Oh! God Mahesh get up its already 8:00. Mahesh… wake up and go and switch on the light, I can’t find my clothes.”

Unwillingly Mahesh dragged him out of his bed to switch on the lights for divya to find her clothes.

“Its just 8:00 pm dive where you going now. Moreover its raining outside. You love rain. Stay here and enjoy the rain with Me.” said Mahesh.

 Divya ignored him and started putting on her clothes.

******************************************************************

Mahesh dint expect dive to answer so he said nothing and returned to his bed. He was watching her getting dressed; he could not help but admire her beauty. Not that he has never seen her naked before but he never had the time to see her getting dressed. He never had the time to admire her long black hair left open touching her bare back. Never before he got attracted to the contrast of her black bra against her dusky skin. They were always in a hurry after  making love.  I love her said Mahesh to himself. He wanted to run his finger tips on her bare  back but choose not to as dive was getting dressed in a hurry and she dint seem to be  in a good mood .

 “What you staring at Mahesh? “its embarrassing . stop it .” Said divya

“Dive you won’t get a auto now don’t go. Stay here tonight “said Mahesh in an appealing tone

“Oh stop it Mahesh don’t act like a baby. You know I have to go.” Added divya quickly  in a  no-nonsense tone. Divya dint want to leave but she had to. She was helpless.

***********************************************************************

Mahesh was watching her stuff her bag with the things she bought with her for her 3 days stay with him and he dint like what he was seeing. How could she be so heartless? How can she just walk away just like that when she knows I will miss her? Why can’t she just take a stand for once?  Mahesh was battling with all these questions himself and he was very angry now he wanted to slap divya but he knows he cannot he loves her. He never loved any girl like her loves her. Without a second thought he pulled her close to him

Their lips touched.  They kissed. They got closer and closer. They kissed like they never kissed. Passion and pain of momentary separation was driving them all the more closer and deeper. She was ruffling his hair, he was moving his finger tips on her bare back beneath her shirt while kissing and licking her lips. She was out of breath but she dint want to leave him. She wanted to pause this very moment. She knew she was getting late but she could not stop herself but she was getting late so unwillingly yet forcefully She pushed him away in a jiffy.

“I have to go Mahesh I’ am getting late. I have commitments. I have a husband. He will be back today and I have to be home before he reaches home“ her irritation and helplessness was clear from her voice

“Don’t go dive. You know you don’t love him.” Added Mahesh in an helpless tone

“I know I don’t love him but I have to go back “said dive and she walked up to the door. She could no longer hold her tears back and she let them flow down.  Before leaving he turned back to see him standing there with moist eyes. The man she loves. The only man she ever loved. She loves his presence. She always did but she had no clue he loved her as well because he never said anything when they were together in the same college. She decided to keep her love for him to herself and get on with life until an year ago when she accidentally bumped into him at Trivandrum central railway station just 2 days before her first wedding anniversary with Abhi . Mahesh and divya traveled together in the same coupe and that journey lead her to the forbidden path of the marital norms. She loved him and she gave into her emotions. They became close again emotionally and physically. She knew she was cheating on Abhi but then she never loved Abhi so she never bothered to feel guilty for  what she did with Mahesh because she believed that love conquers and justifies all. She was crying. She always cried for him...

**************************************************************

“Dive you getting late  ... “said Mahesh and his words brought her back to reality breaking her chain of thoughts.

 She loves his voice. She loves it when he calls her dive. She was confessing her love for Mahesh to herself .

“Yes I’am leaving Mahesh and ya don’t cal me today. I will call you tomorrow “saying this she opened the door to leave after saying something she always wanted to say to him

“Mahesh I love you. I always did but I can never forgive you for one thing. You dint confess your feelings for me when you should have otherwise you wouldn’t have to share me with another man today . Bye “saying this she banged the door after her.
