Her Secret Smile (#2)

Chapter- 24

24. “Love is a Demon”

It was a Saturday evening, Nidhi's parents went to Kerala to visit her maternal grandmother. Nidhi too wanted to go with them but her stomach cramps turned her to stay in-house. After taking rest for the entire day she got up from her bed in the evening.

Lazily she headed to take a hot shower that almost healed her muscle pain. Once she is out, she turned her attention to her phone that was ringing at the top of its lungs. She was surprised to see the call from Varun at this time.

Standing only on her towel Nidhi hang up the call to wear the pink T-shirt and black shorts. But Varun kept calling her that irritated Nidhi to the core. Once she is done,

"Hel..lo," she mumbled not showing her distress since Varun leaving to Delhi next week. So no fights!

"Are you sleeping? Why you hang up my call?" from his voice it is evident that he is pissed off a little.

"No, just now I got up," she replied rubbing her nose.

"Oh, what happened Nidhu? Are you not well?" his concerned tone bought smile on her lips.

"Yeah, stomach cramps," she sat on her bed and her wet hair started soaking her shirt.

"Periods?" he asked.

Nidhi shyly hummed as yes.

Varun without thinking further headed towards Nidhi's house, he pushed the front door and for his surprise and luck, it is open.

"Where are you now?" Nidhi casually asked him and laid on her bed.

"I am in your house!" he announced that almost stopped her heart for a second.

Nidhi unlocking her room went out still keeping the phone on her ears and eventually her lips curled to see him before her. 

Sliding his phone into his pocket, Varun in a swift moment pulled her close to him and engulfed her body with his strong embrace.

"Varun!" She exclaimed in a surprise because she didn't expect him to hug her all of a sudden and lightly wiggled her body to get a gasp of oxygen.

"Shush, don't talk," he whispered and hugged her even tighter. 

If Varun has an ability to cage her inside him he will gladly do that since that much he is missing her crazily at each second he is without her.

What is the solution for all these? 

He wants to see her without any restrictions, he wants to talk with her not caring about her parents or his parents. He wants to hug her like this even the entire world is against it.

Varun clearly knew how to do it but there is a hesitation whether Nidhi will say yes!

Burying her face in his chest Nidhi closed her eyes to feel his heartbeat, his scent, his warmth and wanted to cage by him for the rest of her life.

Love is a demon if it enters into your world then you became the slave for it. It will demand you, turn you crazy and finally tie you with the emotions where you can't get out once you are fully immersed into it.

It is been a week since her college started. In this entire week they not even had a chance to meet, as Varun was so busy with his work and preparing himself to go Delhi. Nidhi can't really accept the fact that they are going to be separated from now even that is only for temporary. 

This is something she never wanted, the more they are distanced the more she thinks about him and eventually, she will miss him, and will cry if that missing turned very controllable.

"I missed you," Nidhi told, those words are not enough to describe how much she felt those past times and also imagining about the future. 

In her life, there are only a few people very close to her heart among that Varun was an irresistible one. She doesn't know how he entered into her heart and became the king for her castle and now he is the one the only ruler for Nidhi

Hearing her 'miss you' finally Varun loosened his grip. He pushed her to face him, gazing her eyes, her lips, and wet hair Varun clenched his jaw.

He didn't say anything for that and had a small smile at the corner of his lips. This wordless emotion he is having at this moment totally turned him reactionless.

There are certain times we don't how to react while experiencing a new kind of feeling. Speechless Varun remained looking at Nidhi in a very astonishing way.

Why I am crazily in love with you! He asked himself.

Nidhi didn't think about his reply and what he is having in his mind at that moment, she took his hand from her waist and the next moment she checked out if anyone was there, she locked the door after confirming.

"Why you are this afraid?" Varun asked in an irritated tone.

Don't you know how afraid I am, my parents are very strict if they find out that I am in love with you. That's all I am dead," she reasoned and smiled.

He went into her room and sat on her messy bed, Nidhi was embarrassed but Varun didn't mind about anything.

"I didn't clean my bed, sorry,"

"It is okay," saying that he pulled her and the next moment she landed on his lap.  Soon all the symptoms of s****l excitement banged her. Increased heart rate, nervousness, excited to touch him and uneven breathing.

"I warned you not to wear this type of clothes," he smirked.

She blushed and her eyes widened when Varun gripped her waist close to him. "Answer me?"

"You didn't tell that you are coming here, then how can I?" she mumbled.

"But you did a mistake so there is a punishment for you," Nidhi looked him questioning.

"Don't worry I am not going to kiss you, or any other physical intimacy, you know about me right," Varun told.

"Hmm," she shyly hummed.

"The punishment is, you have to wear a red color saree, braid your hair and should be traditional on Friday when I am coming back from Delhi," he said.

"Uh?," Nidhi smiled and hugged him.

"How can you think this type of punishments," she chuckled.

They remained in the hugging state for some time, suddenly Varun pushed her out of the hug.

"Nidhu let's get married!"

"Are you stupid? I can't Varun. We will definitely marry someday but this is not the right time, I am just twenty," she frowned.

"I am going to tell my parents that I am in love with you,"

"Why?"

"They are planning to set my distance cousin as my bride hoping that I will accept for this marriage. So now tell me should I remain silent," hearing that she was hurt to think someone in her place, she can't even think a life without Varun in it. 

No matter what! She is never going to lose Varun for anything.

"Hmm, do as you wish," Nidhi told and again hugged him.

Caressing her back, "Think from my perspective, my brother is settled now, I am working and my parents now itself started searching brides for me, I think this the right time to open about our love. Let us face whatever going to come after that. Okay?"

She nodded her head, Nidhi feared whether this smoothly going love will end terribly. Is this the start of the bad pace of their love?

But right now this thought is not needed. 

He is here with you! So don't worry about anything and love him. This second will never come back after it passed so live each moment with an at most happiness, she said to herself and hugged him as tight as she could.

"Don't get scared, you can’t marry anyone other than me," Varun again said and embraced her. This closeness made Varun turn on. He pushed Nidhi again.

"Gain some weight you are so thin," he told.

"I am not thin."

"Yes you are I can feel you, and dry your hair properly before going to sleep," Varun told and Nidhi stood up from his lap.

Before leaving he gazed Nidhi, suddenly he pecked her lips pulling her close to him and walked out of the house leaving her in a blackout state.

She grinned and headed back to her room, jumping on her bed Nidhi blushed covering her face, Varun just lit the sparkles in her by that small kiss!
