Chapter 3: The Kiss

After their first meeting they starting colliding more often. On second meet she bumped into him in the office and nodding at each other they went their way.

The next time was when she went to his cabin to ask him about an issue related to the project they were collaborating, she saw her sister in his cabin wearing a short dress that was barely covering her front trying to flirt with him but Aditya read her a riot act when she tried to get too close to him. He was angry by the time her sister left and he threw all his anger at her. Khushi was shocked by his anger and silently went away, though she was angry at him for scolding her for no reason.

The next time they met was when he apologized to her . One day they both got in the office lift in the same time and the sexual tension between them was palpable. Khushi wanted to jump at him and then she chided herself for having such thoughts about a married man.

They frequently came in front of each other although she was trying hard to stay away from him. The last time they met before their marriage was two days before the wedding when she along with her sister and Rohan went to a party and he was there too. Her sister wore a very short dress. She wore a dress too.

Her dress was a long shining silver which clinged to her at right places accentuating her curves with a string tied was knotted at the back of her neck that held the dress in place. The dress had a slit which went from her thigh showing a glimpse of her long sexy legs and her back was bare till her waist. She looked gorgeous. She saw Aditya at a far end talking with a businessman, a drink in his hand and looking at her every now and then. Rohan was looking lustily at her and she had to escape from him so she disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing her disappear from his sight Rohan felt furious, but Kirti pulled him to the dance floor. "Run as much as you want Khushi, at last you will be mine" He grinned evilly. Both Aditya and Khushi saw Kirti and Rohan dancing close together but khushi remained unaffected as some one else had her complete attention that night.

Aditya asked Khushi for a dance and she accepted it. Both danced in rhythm that for the crowd they felt like a perfect couple. Khushi heart was beating so fast that she feared Aditya could hear it. And when his fingers accidentally touched her bare back she felt sparks. She excused herself and went to drink a glass of water when she saw her fiance and sister missing.

She knew they were be somewhere fooling around but she wanted to get back home and so went in search of them. She found both of them in a room,both under a single sheet.She was disgusted by the scene and turned to go when she bumped into Aditya who had come to check on her. But seeing the scene in front of him made his blood boil.

He pulled her with him and both went towards the exit of the party. Khushi wanted to call the driver of the Basus to drop her home but Aditya told her sternly that he would drop her. He didn't want to send her home with an unknown man. He was arguing with her about dropping her home when it started to rain heavily. Rain and Aditya didn't go well but Khushi loved rain and she went to get wet in rain.

Aditya shook his head at Khushi's childlike nature, bought his car and told her to get inside. She reluctantly got inside and he drove them towards her home. By the time they reached the rain had already stopped. Both of them got out of the car, Khushi now conscious of her state as the dress she wore was totally wet and stuck to her like a second skin. Her hair was wet and a feww strands stuck to her face.

Aditya left her at her door step and turned to go without saying anything but Khushi held his hand. He looked at her while she thanked him and requested him to forget the scene he saw at the party. Aditya was furious with her, first for not standing up for the jerk, then for wearing this sexy dress which made men at the party stare at her lustily and for making him lose control.

He grabbed the back of her neck without warning and kissed her hard punishing her for being a sexy temptress, for being Rohan's fiance and for awaking the desires within him which were long forgotten. Khushi first gave into the kiss but remembering that he had a wife, she pushed him and slapped him across the face. Without saying anything more, she went inside her house closing the door in his face and went to her room. Aditya was furious and hurt. He went to his car and drove away.

Khushi heard the sound of the car driving away and then the let herself cry. She cried at her fate for giving her a family for not caring for her. She cried for her future which she will spend with the leach. She cried for her broken dreams. She cried that she fell for a married man. She cried that the man she had come to adore had kissed her betraying his wife. She cried and cried till she was left will no energy and fell asleep.
