**Legs When Walking**
**Chapter 4: Collision Course**
New Market's alleys thrummed with evening adda—friends sprawled on plastic chairs, biryani plates steaming, Bollywood blaring from a radio. Putha sat cross-legged, legs tucked but ready to spring, laughing freely with her designer crew about botched client briefs. Her stride had carried her here post-bridge, seeking distraction from Bhabotosh's grip, his haunted eyes. But freedom felt fragile now, thoughts tangled in tension.
He appeared like fate, weaving through the crowd, legs devouring distance. Bhabotosh dropped into the chair beside her, uninvited. "Hiding in adda? Your walk betrays you—always calling trouble."
The group hushed, sensing sparks. Putha leaned in, voice a whisper-hiss. "You chase. I walk free." Hate crackled, but her leg brushed his under the table—accidental fire. Their eyes locked; the air thickened.
"You talk big," he murmured, hand sliding to her knee, hidden by the tablecloth. "Prove it." She hated his arrogance, loved the thrill. In a blur, she grabbed his collar, pulling him into a shadowed corner booth. Lips crashed—fierce, hungry kiss, legs pressing together in urgent rhythm. His hands traced her thighs, her nails dug into his back. Love-hate exploded: sweet venom, dangerous surrender.
Then—crash. Puthimba burst through, eyes wild, having tailed her again. "Putha di! Get off her!" He lunged, shoving Bhabotosh hard. Fists flew; chairs toppled. Bhabotosh's leg swept Puthimba's, sending him sprawling amid spilled chai. "Stay down, shadow. She's not yours."
Putha yanked them apart, breathless, lips swollen. "Enough! My legs, my choices." She stormed out, stride furious, leaving both men bloodied and staring. The kiss lingered like a bruise—irresistible peril.
