Rocky proceeded towards Reena's room.
He saw Laxmi getting out of the room with sleeping Shanti in her arms. He then went into the room to find her nowhere there. It was then he saw her.
Reena was standing in her balcony starring at the dark sky with tears running down her cheeks and her hands busy in holding the white railings.
He strolled towards her and She turned her head hearing his foot steps. She was so quick to wipe off her tears and paste a little smile on her dry lips.
"What brings the great emperor to my room?" She said trying to cover up.
Rocky just came near her and kept staring her with a emotional look on his face.
"What happened?" She asked like nothing happened.
Rocky still kept silent looking at her.
Reena laughed at him saying,
"Come on say something."
He is still.
"Atleast give a smile." She kept smiling.
Reena slightly cleared her throat and took his arms into her hands.
She slowly made his arms get their way around her waist inside her dupatta which she draped loosely in a south Indian style.
"You should atleast smile now." Reena said playfully.
He still had a mist in his eyes and looked disturbed.
She then went close to him and grabbed his cheeks.
His cheeks has become her new obsession.
She kept squeezing them and playing by inflating them.
"You are looking like a bear.
My boo bear." She said laughing.
Rocky lowered his head and buried his face into her neck.
Reena could feel some water drops landing on her mid neck and slowly dripping to her shoulders.
His grip on her bare waist tightened.
She quickly grabbed his head making him face her.
Then Reena saw a tear slipping from the great monster's eye that ran through his cheeks and got lost in his beard.
She quickly took her dupatta that was loosely hanging on her shoulder from the front of her chest and wiped his tears.
"Rocky....Please." She uttered where she was almost on the wedge of crying.
"Please stop it." Reena said still wiping off his face with the chiffon clothe.
Rocky was so emotional after listening her side of story. It was always protraited that he sincerely loved her even she don't seem like deserving with her rude personality.
Whereas the reality is that he made so many mistakes being unaware of family things which he never got to know in the streets of Mumbai and she accepted them all.
She was going through the shit that he never know existed and he became an addition to all her sufferings. She still engulfed his flaws too and never complained.
She trusted him so much and he always made her situation worse.
After all the things she did for him he was just left with one word.
" I'm sorry shona. " Rocky said taking her hands into his and touching them to his forehead.
" Rocky what is this?" Reena pulled her hands to herself.
"Please stop doing this." She started crying.
"I can't see you like this."
Yes, she always wanted him to be courageous and rocking like he is. She can't see him being vulnerable.
Rocky let out a heavy sigh then he slowly took her dupatta and wiped her tears.
Reena smiled for his gesture and hugged him.
After a good two minutes Reena turned to him from his chest.
"You know what!!"
She came out of hug and circled her hand around his left arm.
"I will take you somewhere to cheer up your mood." She said dragging him out of the Room.
After taking the stairs down, they arrived at his home bar.
Rocky looked at Reena a little confused with the destination they reached .
"What!?
You will drink cases of whisky all through the day.
Won't you have some drinks with me? " Reena asked narrowing her eyes.
Rocky smiled at her.
They went to the table and Reena sat on the chair.
Rocky went to the fridge grabbing out his current favourite brand and her's is black towers, he know that.
She will only smell that when she is drunk.
"Hmm...
I don't know your favourite food but you know my favourite brand.
Appreciable!!"
Reena spoke to Rocky who smiled while pouring the drinks into glasses.
He then served her first and took his glass into hands, sitting beside her.
"Do you want me to make something as pairing like omlette or anything else?" Reena asked before starting her drink.
"No." Rocky said taking a sip from his glass.
"I have mastered it, making so many omelettes to my dad for his night drinks." She smiled in nostalgy and sipping her drink made by the KGF king.
"What will you pair your drinks with?" Rocky asked.
"I will pair them with chocolate. " Reena answered keeping her elbow on the table behind her.
" Chocolate!!?" Rocky freaked out like how can someone even pair whisky with chocolates.
"Yes, they will go so well with whisky. " Reena said widening her eyes and Rocky couldn't stop laughing at her childish taste.
"Wait!! I will show you."
Reena stood up and started walking towards the kitchen which is dark with all the lights off as it was midnight all the people in the mansion were in deep sleep.
She sneaked in and took out some dark chocolate from the fridge.
Rocky completed his first glass and filled his glass again as she reached him.
"Where did you get that chocolate from?" Rocky asked.
"My friends gifted me by congratulating my new order when I went to Bengaluru." Reena said busy in opening it.
"You gift chocolates in this age!?" Rocky was always confused at these rich people illogical actions.
"Hello mister!!
You are going to turn thirty not me."
Reena passed a look to him, putting her one hand on the waist.
She then cracked a small bite from the chocolate and put it in his mouth.
Rocky was feeling weird with this new experiment but he know she will not leave him until the task is completed.
"Sip it now!"
He sincerely followed her orders and it was really a good one.
"See!" Reena raised her eyebrows feeling like she got some win in any Olympics.
Rocky smiled at her cuteness.
He didn't know she can be this babyish.
He kept adoring her as she sat back and started drinking.
It was then, some kind of mark on her left breast caught his eyes as her blouse has a deep front cut and her dupatta is already out of place.
That mark although is visible just a little seemed big like some insect bite, he was worried and didn't mind asking her.
"What's that?" He asked pointing it from a decent distance.
"This?" she moved her blouse bringing the mark and her soft skin fully into his view.
Reena is quite bold when it came to her body and HIM. Because she knew that one lucky night she will handover all the rights on her body to him.
"It is a mole." She said with a pout. She is so annoyed with that mole since childhood.
Rocky looked at it and it actually looked like some hickey with that brownish shade.
Reena refilled her glass.
"You know, moles are spots where your past lover kissed you the most." She said eating the chocolate and Rocky looked at her with a naughty smile.
"I must say, you are so horny in your past birth. I literally have all my treasuries marked." Reena said it so casually and Rocky had a naughty proud smile that soon converted into laugh at her thoughts.
"You keep saying such silly things when you are drunk." Rocky said filling his glass again.
Silly!!
She was speaking so much of romantic stuff and he just named them silly.
Will this man ever be romantic?
Her ego got hurt and then came an idea of hurting his ego too.
"Yes!!
This should be silly." Reena scorned and Rocky stopped laughing.
"Because I have so many moles on chest and.." Reena leisurely folded her legs in the chair.
"You don't look like a boobman."
Rocky narrowed his eyes at where it is going.
"So!!" Reena dramatically placed her index on chin where Rocky got it and was nodding is head in a no with a serious look.
"You are not the one from my past life!" Reena laughed at him.
Rocky quickly pulled her chair so near that their chairs collided. Reena stopped her laugh.
"Don't worry!! I will show you what I am when it is time." Rocky said it huskily in her ears.
"And I will kill the bastard who even dare to look at you." He said setting her dupatta rightly on her chest.
Reena just kept adoring him as he did that.
"Don't behave like a sage that you aren't." Reena said as he finished his work.
"Shona!!" Rocky said it with a sincere look.
"What!? Shall I ask you one thing?" Reena said playing with his shirt buttons.
Rocky hummed.
"How did you get my perfect size in clothes? " Reena raised her one eyebrow.
"Like I have blouses and lingerie in my exact size." Reena grabbed his collar.
"You have your lusty eyes on me, working soo well.
Hmm?" Reena asked tightening her grip on his collar.
Rocky just kept gazing at her trying to prove his innocence.
"Shona, it's not like that.
I ordered those clothes from your regular boutique and she has your measurements."
Rocky said it one go.
"Oh!!
You even know my regular boutique." She asked.
"I do." Rocky said with a pout.
Him trying to prove his innocence before her is so cute.
"I don't even know what will be those measurements?" Rocky continued.
Reena couldn't stop her laughter at this cute man.
"You don't know?" Reena asked in between her laughs.
"Why will I know?" Rocky asked pout never leaving his lips.
"You should know mine." Reena said as a yawn escaped her mouth.
"Don't worry you will know them when you should. " Reena laughed at him and another yawn came in her way.
Rocky observed that she is feeling sleepy and stood up from the chair.
He then placed both his hands on sides of her chair.
"Shona, you should sleep now." He said.
"But, I still want to talk to you." She stuttered in a sleepy voice.
Rocky slowly put his glass on the bar table and gently took her glass too keeping on the table.
"You are feeling sleepy. " He said and went to her ear and spoke to her in a husky voice.
"By the way I too have so many moles. You will not stay innocent if I start showing."
Reena blushed into deep reds lowering her head and Rocky had a naughty smirk.
He then made her stand and her hands circled his arm once again.
They went to her room and he stopped at the door way to say her a good night and return to his room.
But she had other plans.
Reena dragged him into the room and made him sit on the bed.
"Be with me till I fall into sleep." Reena asked with a sudden change in her expression to a weepy one.
He nodded.
"I will change and come." She went and came in a red short night gown till her mid thighs.
He sat on the corner of her bed.
Reena put a pillow on his lap and laid her head on it.
Rocky smiled and started caressing her hair. Her tresses felt so soft as he touched them. He noticed that she is having a small smile on her lips.
Rocky then thought of putting comforter on her and bent to hold it.
"Don't. " Reena stopped.
"Let it be. What will you do till I fall asleep.
Atleast enjoy the view." Reena spoke with her eyes closed.
Rocky then had his gaze turning to THE VIEW. There laid her long sleek legs with creamy milk texture that he felt like it would get marks even if he touches. As she slept in a side posture even her thighs are visible, making him groan silently.
How should he say her that if he keeps enjoying the view then she can no more enjoy her sleep.
Rocky smiled.
After some ten minutes Rocky placed her on bed and pulled her comforter on.
He left her room not before placing a light feather kiss on her forehead.
Maya went to the living room as she know where Reena could be in this morning hours. She found Reena sipping her morning coffee.
Vikram was beside her, looks like they were engrossed in some discussion.
"Vikram it is just tendays to go to your wedding. So don't be hesitated to ask leave." Reena spoke.
"Yes mam I will take when it is needed."
"Where is wedding planned?"
"It is in our Raichur Mam."
"What about Meenakshi ?"
"She will shift here after marriage." Vikram made a shy face.
"Reena!!" Maya's voice came.
"I want to talk to you." She said.
"Sure. Come have your seat." Reena offered a chair and Vikram left the scene.
"Yesterday I felt so bad when you are listing out your struggles and I know I made your struggles even more worse." Reena actually don't want to talk anything about this to her.
"I just came to tell you that now I can feel how you felt back then." Maya had tears rolling down her eyes.
"May be I made you suffer alot in that immature age that now I got my karma." Reena is confused.
"I can feel your agony because I'm going through it now.
I'm going to get married in four months to some NRI son of my dad's friend.
I tried saying that I don't like the groom. But no one is actually ready to listen me."
Reena is genuinely feeling bad for her state.
"Back then I couldn't differentiate your choices that you didn't like my brother. I kept forcing you to do so many things and I'm ashamed of it."
"Leave it. It was my fate.
what would you do for that?" Reena said in a low voice.
"Now it seems like it's my turn to have myself surrendered to the fate.
That Suraj, my to-be husband is always making me feel inferior.
I convinced my father to have some time spend with him so that I can know him better. And I realized it after a few dates that he just love my body.
That bastard looks at me like a prey for night."
Reena was moved by this.
"Maya, you shouldn't tolerate it. You have to fight back."
"Fight with whom Reena?" Maya sighed in between her sobs.
"With father who don't even care if I exist or not. Our brothers whose rooms at midnight are filled with the pleadings of maids of my age.
Whom?
Who understands me?" Maya spoke.
Reena too got tears at her words.
"You should then talk to that groom tell him that you are not interested in all these."
Reena had another suggestion.
"That creep.
I tried to talk to him that I'm not interested.
Then he suggested me that we will have sex so that I will get interest in him.
He even tried to force me. I was lucky enough to escape."
"Maya, don't loose the hope. You will have a bright future." Reena took maya's hands into hers.
Maya smiled sadly.
"I didn't come here to make you cry once again. But to admit that I have done a grave mistake in my past and you suffered a lot because of it.
Today I felt it's my responsibility to admit before you. That I'm sorry Reena.
Please forgive me if you can. Please." Maya was crying.
"It's OK Maya. I forgive you. Not because I'm satisfied that you feel it now but I understand that it was just our age and the environment we are grown up that we had some clashes since childhood.
Now that we realized it.
It's time to change our perspectives."
Reena had a smile on her face and she genuinely want to move on, not having any grudges.
"Thank you." Maya smiled.
"But I think you must take some step against that marriage. "Reena spoke with concern.
"Let's see. " Maya said with a hope in her eyes.
Holding discussion is the bestest thing you can do in any situation of such type. Reena believed this policy and she never regretted it.
"Shona, you are still not ready." Rocky came setting his watch and was confused seeing two women holding hands with tears in their eyes.
"I will be ready in ten minutes.
You go.
Maya and me will come in other car." Reena said as Rocky moved to the entrance.
"Did you have breakfast?" She gave a shout to him.
"Yes. Yes." Rocky responded in another shout.
Nowadays this lady is becoming his mother.
