CHAPTER 13

Romance in guest house

                  

                   Motor bike came and stopped in front of Sulabh complex. Burka lady came out and joined him. Avinash took Shermi to a guest house. He parked the motorbike in the parking area.

Shermi was surprised. “Why have you brought me here? You said we will go to the park.”

“I want to talk to you personally. So I have booked a room in this guest house. I will tell you of my plan.”

Shermi caught hold of his hand and hugged him.

Avinash was shocked. “Eh! Not here. See that security guard is watching. After we go to the room, we can do anything we like.”

Shermi became shy. She looked around and said, “Sorry, I got excited.”

Security guard was laughing at them. Avinash looked at him and pulled Shermi’s hand. “Come, let us went in.”

They entered the guest house.

The receptionist welcomed them and gave the key to room no. 21.

Avinash said, “Thank you. Send the room boy.”

He took the key and they went to the room

Avinash and Shermi entered the room. Shermi looked around and sat on the bed. The bed felt so soft. She looked at Avinash and laughed excitedly. “What a beautiful room.”

Avinash came near her and removed the burka cover from her face. He pinched her cheeks. “Compared to your beauty, this room is nothing. You are a diamond. You can remove the burka. We don’t need burka safety here.”

Shermi removed the burka.

Avinash admired Shermi’s beauty. “Ah! You have such a beautiful body.”

Shermi laughed in shyness.

Avinash said, “This laugh and this body are pulling me like magnet. I can’t live without you. You are my Shermi, you are my love.”

He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. He kissed her cheek.

Shermi closed her eyes. “I too can’t live without you, Avinash.”

There was a sound at the door. They immediately separated. Room boy came in with water. “Sir, do you want anything?”

Avinash gave him Rs.500/- note from his purse. “1 bottle of scotch whisky and 69 chicken.”

Room Boy said, “Ok sir.”

He took the money and left.

Avinash looked into Shermi’s eyes. “He disturbed us at such a good moment.”

He spreads both his arms. She ran into his arms. “I want to melt in your arms whole life. But I am scared. My marriage is being fixed. But I am scared. Tell me of your plan.”

“You told me. On 21^st isn’t it?”

“I am telling seriously and you taking things very lightly. I love you. I can’t stay without you.”

“Eh! What did you think of my brain?”

She laughed. “Just with your burka plan, we have come so far. That’s why I said, plan something.”

“Just see, with my new plan we will straight away got married and become couples.”

Shermi was excited. “Tell me quickly.”

“Your husband-to-be was a millionaire, isn’t it?”

“Yes. He is very rich. He is my uncle Jaidev’s family friend. But I don’t want money. I want you. I love you. I am ready to do what ever you say. I just want to be with whole my life.”

Avinash closed his eyes for a while.

Shermi asked, “What are you doing with closed eyes? Are you meditating?”

“Sh…   I am thinking of a plan.”

Shermi waited for him to open his eyes. He finally opened his eyes and gave her a serious look. “Ah! The plan is ready.”

Shermi Please tell me.

Shermi approached him.

Aviansh said, “Your cooperation is very important for this plan to succeed.”

“I am ready”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

She gave him her hand.

Avinash took her hand in his and said, “Now we are as good as couples.”

Shermi was excited. “What should I do?”

Avinash moved a bit away from her. “Tell me, where is the engagement? Will your uncle Jaidev come there?”

Shermi said seriously, “Jaidev uncle is arranging everything. He will definitely be there. My engagement is in Ramathirtha temple in Vikarabad forest. Have you seen the place?”

Avinash shook his head. “How far is it?”

“10 km from here. We have to go by car.”

Avinash closed his eyes. “When is it?”

Shermi said angrily, “How many times should I tell you? Next month 21^st.”

Avinash took out a diary and looked in it. Then he kept it back in his pocket.

“Oh! On that very day, I have interview in a big American company in hi-tech city. If I succeed in that interview, my placement will be in America.”

Shermi was surprised. “What about me?”

Avinash looked into her eyes and said coolly, “Do one thing. My interview is important. It is my life and career. After the interview, we can go away from this place.”

He went near her. “Will you come with me?”

Shermi held his hands tightly. “Avinash, I want you badly. I am ready to go anywhere with you.”

Avinash asked, “Tell me at what time is the engagement?”

“Evening 4pm.”

“Do one thing. You wait for me in Shankarpally railway station at 4pm. My interview is from 2 to 5 pm. I will finish the interview and come directly to meet you. You must wear the burka for your safety. We will go to Gulburga and then to Bombay.”

Shermi was excited. “Really?”

“If you do according to what I say, my plan will be a great success and you will soon be my wife.”

Shermi held him tightly. Avinash caressed her head. Shermi floated in dreams. He talked into her ear. “If we have to be happy whole life, you have to do something.”

Shermi lifted her head and looked at him. “What?”

“You must bring that 30 lakhs of cash and that gold when you come.”

Shermi immediately separated from him in a shock. She went and stood a bit away from him. “Avi, what are you saying?”

“Why are you shocked? Listen to me patiently. I am saying this for our own good. I will definitely succeed in the interview and within 15 days I will have to go to America. My placement is guarantee. But what about you? You will need a visa to come with me to the US. It will cost us 30 lakhs. Just think, we can get married and live happily. I am thinking for your own good.”

Shermi sat on the bed thinking.

Avinash came near her and patted her back. “Shermi, you don’t want to come with me? Tell me.”

She looked at his face seriously.

Avinash said, “I don’t want America or anything. I just want you. I will not go to America. I will just do some small business here and stay with you.”

Shermi was shocked. “No. Don’t lose your chance of a good job just because of me. I will do as you say. We will go to America.”

Avinash sadi, “Ok. Then from today onwards you must show that you have agreed for the marriage. But on the engagement day, you come straight to Shankarpally railway station with the cash and gold.”

“Ok, I will do as you say.”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The waiter brought bottle of whisky with two glasses and chicken. He kept it on the table and left closing the door behind him.

Avinash opened the bottle and poured whisky into two glasses. Shermi looked at him in surprise. “You know, I don’t take drinks.”

Avinash said, “Sure. After being with you for one month, I know all your habits. But you drink pepsi, coco cola, isn’t it? The next step is this. Please enjoy the life fully for my sake.

Shermi gave him a serious look. “In one month you have taught me so many habits.”

Avinash poured water into the whisky. “We must also melt like this.”

Shermi laughed. “We have already melted.”

“True.” Avinash caressed her cheek. “Our minds have melted. But I feel I want something.”

He spreads his arms. “Let us become one and melt into each other.”

“Ah! All that after the marriage only.”

“Oh! Like that eh? Ok. Cheers.”

Avinash gave her the glass and they started drinking. In the drunken state, he spreads his arms. She too was drunk. She fell into his arms.

Avinash said, “Now, let us melt physically.”

Shermi said, “Sure. I can’t stop myself.”

Bodies merge into each other in romance.
