His love feels like shackle

Chapter 8

Sara was on her bed after coming from her school. She was feeling tired as they had an extra class . She was having an afternoon nap after her lunch. It was evening time. She felt a hand on her cheek. She got disturbed and opened her eyes slowly. To her utter shock Raj face came infront of her eyes. He was smiling. Was she dreaming.. Her eyes widened up. With a swift she got up from her bed and sat. It was not her dream. “Hey jaan…Sorry to wake you up but I couldn’t hold myself when I saw your face. You looked so cute.” He said with love. She started rubbing her eyes . Yes , he was present physically infront of her. When she realized that he was actually present infront of her out of emotion she hugged him . She closed her eyes . He was also hugging her with the same passion. They were holding each other as if they leave they won’t survive. Raj and Sara no doubt that they were couple but in matters like being intimate they are far behind . Raj loves her so much and he doesn’t want to make her scared before marriage. He thinks that if they are going to marry so what is the hurry of being physical right away. He never crossed the line. Raj also thinks that Sara might not like it. So he never dares to cross the line. Sara opens her eyes and looks at him with full of love. Removing her arms she said.. "Its just I couldn’t believe that you are here? "I’m here “ He was staring at her . His eyes were shinning. A small smile was creeping from the side of his lips.

"Now get up . I promised you na that I will meet you. So here Am I .And get up fast as we are going out . ""Where? "She asked sitting on her bed yarning. "Actually our company is having the annual day function. So today we will have our promotion announcement. “ He added with a pause” and we are asked to bring our partners in this special occasion. "Sara looked at him with question. So? ""So…Dumbo…you need to get up as you will be accompanying me in the party.” She looked shocked .I cant go . Papa wont allow me to stay late outside .” He smirked and said “ I have asked papa and he has given permission also”. She couldn’t believe her ears . Her papa gave permission for a night out. Her father who couldn’t tolerate her being out for long in the day has given him permission and that also night out . Are you lying to me?” She inquired Nope” she was staring at him. Now get up and freshen up. No doubt papa gave permission but asked to return early. And if we don’t move fast we wont get to hear the important announcement” He said standing up pulling her hand . Okay” She got up and taking her towel she entered the washroom. Jaan .. I will be downstairs .Come fast.” I will”. Closing the door he left out of the room. He don’t want to stay inside and get horny. Its not that Raj doesnot have such feelings , but he doesnot want to scare her. …………………………………………….. Sara freshened up and gets ready for the nightout with Raj.She wore a white colour long dress. She wore a small earing and a chain. She puts some kajal on her eyes. She opened her hair. Whenever sara goes out she makes sure to put some kajal on her eyes. Grabbing her purse she comes out of her room. All her family members along with Raj were sitting in the living area. Raj was chatting with her father. Her father treated Raj like his own son. And her mother she showers her love as if he is the son of this house not her. When Raj saw her he looked her from head to feet. His was flabbergast . She came near the couch where her father was sitting. When her father saw the direction where Raj was looking he turned his head. He Smiled a little and said” Don’t be late.” “We wont papa. “said Raj on her behalf After bidding goodbye to her family finally they came out and sits inside the car. Raj takes out a package from the back of his seat and gives to Sara. For you meri jaan . he said loving and handed her the package Sara took the package . “ what is it?’ Open it and see na’. Sara started opening her package fast. A big box of chocolates. It says made in Italy. A big smile crept on her face. Sara loves chocolate . Out of happiness she kissed the cheek of Raj. Raj liked the touch of her lips. “For this I can buy you all the chocolate of the world” he said laughing. Sara also laughed. She opened the box and took a bite . She moaned and closed her eyes with happiness. “Mmmmmm” Raj looked at her with surprise while driving. Sara ..stop it” he said Hearing his voice she opened her eyes . What happened” She asked with shock and innocence in her big eyes. “ nothing..Just don’t make such type of sound “ He said Why” Just…Just don’t make. “ She looked confused and turned her head toward the front. “okay” Raj couldn’t say her that such sound was a turn on for him. And he don’t want to scare her before marriage. Actually he was worried that if he crosses his limit she might leave him . And such type of sound from her mouth was not helping him to maintain his composure. …………………………………………………………….. They reached the venue after thirty minutes of ride. Raj parked his car and like a gentleman he opened the door of Sara. SARA got down the car and stood . She looked at her dress . She roamed her hands on the side of her dress. After that she holds the arm of Raj and starts walking. With her long dress she looks like a diva. Both of them entered the hotel where the party was organized . Raj could see his colleagues standing with their partner and chatting. When one of his colleague saw him he waved in his direction . Raj also waved back. Raj and Sara moves to the crowd. Everyone was present from his office. “Hey Raj .The man who waved said. His name was Vinod. Hey vinod”..They shook hands . This is Sara. “ Raj introduced her to vinod. Hello”… Hello .. she replied . I have heard a lot about you. Raj always talks about you. Nice to meet you today. Said vinod. Sara smilled and looked at Raj. Me too” she said smilling shyly. Let me introduce you to the others. Meet my wife Priya” he said . A lady was standing beside him. Hii” Hii” This is Vikram and his girlfriend Rani, this is Sujit , this is Karan and his wife Soniya, Rohit and his wife Rimli”. So vinod introduced her to all of them. Suddenly their boss enters with another person. He stood at the middle holdin a mike “ Good evening All of you .

This time we have with us The youngest member of The Khan’s Enterprise , Mr.Junaid Khan . He is my childhood best friend and our special guest for tonight. So let us start our promotion announcement. “ Everyone clapped their hands . Sara was also standing beside Raj clapping. Now the announcement for the promotion was going on and all the people were very happy. Some of his colleague were awarded good rank in the company for their hard work. Their names were called and one by one they stepped up and took the letter from Junaid. Next comes the name of Raj . He was given the post of Chief Financial incharge. Raj was very happy and so was Sara too. But the boss also added that he will be transferred to the branch in Australia. Raj moved to take his promotion letter. He thanked his boss . Congratulation Raj “ Said Junaid shooking his hand and looking directly at him. Thank you,Sir” Said raj unaware of the storm which was beside him. ………………………………………………………………………………………… Raj took the letter and came back to Sara. Sara looked happy. Congrats ‘ Thanks” He said half heartedly. Sara got the disappointment in his voice . So she looked at his face and asked What happened you don’t look happy” “ Im happy but its that I need to shift to Austalia.” Its good only…." she assured him.“ You don’t understand. I wont be able to meet you so frequently. Its that I don’t want to go so far away from you. He said sadly. Hey… don’t be upset . “ sara looked at him with concern. “ you don’t understand . Its that I don’t want to go to some other country . At least here once in a month I can meet you but if I go abroad we wont be seeing each other for months.” He said “ Raj .. we are getting engaged after few months . Why are you so worried . And I don’t want to be a truss in your life. It’s a great opportunity for you . And you can’t loose it. Who knows I might be lucky to see Australia ? She said winking at him. He smiled . “Promise me that you will be with me ? You will never leave my side no matter. ” Raj asked holding her arms with both his hand. “Yes..baba ..I promise you no matter what, I will always be there with you and I wont leave you” She said assuring him. “ I promise you Jaan within one year I will take a transfer and shift back to Delhi” or we will kove together.He said determinedly. Sara nodes her head with affirmation. Soon the light in the room was dimmed. Slow music starts and all the people started dancing with their partner. Raj puts forward his hand for Sara to hold . Sara gives her hand and joins the dance floor. Raj was holding her waist while dancing . Sara puts her arms around Raj neck. They were dancing with the slow music. Raj was continuously looking at her face .Sara looked at him .Both of them were looking at each other and dancing. Sara felt shy and lowered her gaze. “ You are so beautiful” said Raj looking at her face. Sara Smiled shyly. “ And what is beautiful about me?” she asked with happiness. Who doesn’t like compliments from their partner. "Mostly your long hair. Promise me you will always keep your hair long . He asked. Okay.. but you like only my hair . she asked with her big sparkling eyes. “ Everything… you know you are my life . Im so happy to have you” He said moving with the flow. Sara looked at his soulder. She felt shy.

They looked like a happy couple . So much full of love. But not for those piercing eyes which were holding jealousy for them. Soon the music stopped and all the people moved back to chat. One of the colleague of Raj came and said something in his ear. Raj excused himself and went with him. Now Sara was alone . She was looking at the people in the party. They were all chatting and drinking. Suddenly she felt ass if she was been watched . Someone was looking at her with intense gaze. She was unable to make out from which direction the gaze was. She felt uneasy . A kind of anxiety. But why was she feeling like that. She looked up at the adjoining floor . In the railig was a man. He looked familiar to her. She looked carefully at him as if trying to solve a puzzle. The man was looking at her . The floor was a bit dark . She then noticed , he was the same person who came with Raj’s boss. He was the person who was giving away the promotion letter. She then realized that the intense stare was coming from him.

....................................................................................Sara P.o.v I looked at the person staring at my direction. He was the friend of the boss. His hair combed in the backward directin giving a clear view of his forehead. His eyes were brown in color, but void . He has a pointed nose. He has small beard on his cheek and chin. His front two button of his shirt was open giving a clear view .His physique shows his excessive work in the gym. He looked tall . The blazer which he was wearing scream his well off. In one hand he was holding a glass. Slowly he brings the glass towards his lips looking at me straight. He was looking at me directly as if he was drinking me. I felt uncomfortable with his stare . His intimadiating eyes were making me run away. His eyes were accusing me of something which I am unable to make out. Finally Raj arrived. I felt relaxed . He looked at me with concern. I shook my head indicating nothing. After bidding goodbye to his colleague and his boss we were about to leave .

As we were leaving the hall ,l looked back to the floor where he was. He was still standing and staring at me. I turned back and marched out . Raj drove back after dropping me. My father was waiting for me in the living room . It was 12 pm by the time we reached my house. Raj wished my father and he left. I too went back to my room and changed. When I laid on the bed I was thinking about the man in the party. Why was the person looking at me in such a way as if he owns me. He has a dominiating personality. His aquising gaze was depicting another story. But what? He looks like a person with whom I should not cross my road. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Junaid’s p.o.v She entered the hall with him.. She was wearing a full length white dress. The dress was hugging her body. The dress was showing her small waist .The body of her lower region was proportionate . I can't see her legs as it was hidden under her dress.She looked like an angel . I couldnot take my eyes from her. She looked like a grown up lady.. But her face which had no makeup reflect her innocence. My eyes travelled toward her right hand which was holding the arm of her lover. As soon as I saw her hand a gust of anger rose inside me. How could she so shamelessly hold his arm. I want to move towards her and drag her to my house. I feel like she cheated on me. I was trying to control my emotions . I was looking at her hand.

Then my friend came and we moved to announce the promotion list . Rishab who is my friend and the boss of Raj started announcing it. My plan which I have already execute came into action. Raj was given promotion with a transfer letter. My friend had done me a great help in this . He was transfered abroad . He came to take his letter.

I shook my hand and with great difficulty I wished him. I felt like throwing him out , breaking his bones. But I need to execute everything slowly. If I want her than I have to patient which I have very less. Now all the people were dancing with their partners. So was she. They were dancing . He was holding her waist. I couldnot control myself. I swear you Sara once I have you , you will get the worst punishment ever. You should not have allowed him to touch you . Her hands were on his chest . My patience was at the verse of breaking. I should have turned my face but I didn’t. I was drinking the poison which she was offering. Nobody made me feel so pathetic. After the dance Raj left her because his collague took him for some discussion . Now she was alone. She was looking at the party hall. Suddenly she looked up and my eyes met hers. She was looking at me. Her eyes were big like babies eye .It helds purity. She looked like she recognized me . She was feeling uncomfortable under my scrutinizing gaze .

After some time Raj came back and she left with him. Taking a few steps she turned back and looked at my direction. Our eyes locked with each other,. Then she left with him.

I felt like running after her. I felt like carrying her on my shoulder and take her to my room. Tieing her hands to the bed post and have my quench fulfilled. One night wont be enough with her.The storm inside my heart won't Submerge with one sip. The pain which I am feeling in my chest was unbearable . I planned this but never thought that seeing her with him in the party could affect me in such a way.
