Till The Fifeteenth Moon

CHAPTER 1 She smiled at him. "Look, Athma, I'm not asking you for a relationship...I know that your parents are conservative...." "It's not about my parents...." She replied " it's YOU..." He smirked "Really,who lives with such a dusty brain now....I'm just asking for a night.. Why, don't have enough confidence to sleep with me?" She looked at him. He felt like a thousand shattered glass pieces shooting right into his eyes. "Kiran... anyway thanks for at least asking me. But if I say no, you should back off... That's what gentlemen does" He smirked. "Gentleman? Do I look like one?" He grabbed her hand and pushed her to the wall. Kiran at least expected her to be in shock, But her indifference surprised him. Still holding the wine glass in her hands, she looked at him,pitily. "Then why are YOU here,if you are such a pure soul,why are you at the bar?" (yes, in some countries, there's a superstition that only good girls ,say no to s*x) "To drink of course, and did I mention that I'm a pure soul or something?did I?and is drinking, Hazardous for pure souls? would that kill them?" "Of course, women are not expected to drink.." Athma burst out into a laughter. She clapped her hands ironically and replied.. "Man of modernity ,of course.." "Don't think too high of yourself..," "No,I don't,I mean,I won't..,but I know that I'm better than a scumbag like you." "YOU!!" Kiran raised his hand. "Mmmm Tch tch. Manners,ha. Haven't you heard about the toothless tiger?" "Is this a time for a Story?" Another male voice.The one she Knows,The one which always rescues her. "Late again,Ajay?" "No, right time" He showed the time on his watch. 1:30 AM "So, you are here too...why are you always tailing her ?"Kiran asked him. "Why, scared?" Ajay, who stands one feet lesser than him, asking such a question, made her laugh. "And ,the cliché, who are you to ask that?" Kiran turned towards Athma. "You, just wait....if I wish someone to be on my bed,that soon comes true" "Yeah yeah,heard a lot... good night, and don't dream about me at night" Kiran decided to leave.
