She is sitting on the mat kept on balcony floor.
With just a hot pant and sling.
Taking puff in silence.

"You smoke"???
He asked in astonishment.

As he stand by the gate.

She didn't respond and kept on with her puffs.

He took two steps and sat beside her

"Can I have a drag "
He asked and this time it was her turn to look at him with surprise.

Just few flower pots
Kept beside the railings.
A stand to dry laundry
And an old chair kept at the corner.

She passed on his cigarette to him
As he took a puff.... And  exhaled smoke out in the air.

"Main Nagaland mein tha ...
Ek civilian family ke sath reh raha tha..
Paying guest ban ke....
Humein shak tha ke unka bada beta..is a Chinese Spy."
He started narrating without any prologue.

And she shifted her attention completely to his story.

"It was a normal home
Husband wife, grandparents, and there was this little girl... Meghna....
Around 5-6 ....
Roz mere liye ek mitti ka toy bana ke lati thi...
Main use 10 rs deta tha...."
He smiled as he recalled about her...

And she too got hooked in his narration
After very hard efforts
We got confirmed that he was a Chinese spy ..
We decided to arrest him..in the morning

I wasn't there that night....
When the whole house got blown...
Erasing every evidence.....

Gas leak was the reason which came out in the investigation.

And then he took out a small clay toy.
It was an elephant... Not exactly but it had a trunk.

He showed her the toy and she took it carefully....
Her face now has soften.

"That kid was innocent....
I still somewhere blame myself for what happened.
I could have save that girl....
The thing is that I am totally fucked
I am trapped naina ...
I can't leave the MSS..
and I don't have the luxury to love and settle down ...
They own my life ."

He took a deep sigh as he gulped down the tear.

While she immediately slipped her hand in his...
Weaving their fingers together.

"Ofcourse I Love you.
And who doesn't want to propose the girl they love ....but
I am human time bomb naina....
No one should get near me.....
I don't want you to live an incomplete life.
You have fallen in love with wrong man..."
He finally looked in her eyes... With his eyes watery itself.

And she gave a sob too.

"So this is it...
U are saying that this is our fate.. and we have to accept it ."?
She questioned him... And he had no answer.

"And what if I say no ...
What if I don't agree with it"
She argued

"There is nothing we can do."
He said with a defeated tone.

"We can....
But before that there is something we need to do ...
And it should not be delayed further.

She said and he gave a confused gaze

"What"
He asked

And she got up from her place and came in front of him
Sitting on his lap....
Keeping his hand on her thighs.

And before he knew
She was kissing him religiously.

As he hold her by her waist to support her.

She smiles looking at him. If heaven were real she'd be feeling like being there right now. It was her decision. And luckily...her wait paid off.It seems so like a fairy tale but it is real.

She kisses him. It is overwhelming. She has so much to hold onto as she cant do so. Her hands feeling every inch of him. His back...the shirt is loose. . His hair...rough and dry..he has grown a stubble too. Her fingers stumbles with buttons and win the battle in the end. His shirt is off. Her fingers touches his Caracas. His stomach. Her lips still feeling him. Soon she kisses his neck. Feeling his vein pulsating. It relives her. He is alive....so alive. His shoulder where a bandage is stuck. He was her holy grail. And now when he is here she wants to have him all for herself. The wait left her thirsty and famished. She soon goes down and takes him in her mouth. He groans loudly. Her hands pulling his trouser off.  For this moment there is nothing who can stop her...

And she'll not stop either.

He pulls her up and sucks her  Without removing her night suit. She removes her bra herself. His hands going in and fondling. Urgency makes them go wild. She takes him in supporting his hand on her shoulder...faster and harder.

No....She wanted him for long. Now she needs him so does he. Culmination of her wait has come with a dripping sweet salty end.

She lay there silent
On his chest.
Her head right about his heart.
While he is making random pattern on her back.

"This should not happen again
We have no future no....
This was so irresponsible of me....
This is never happening again...
Or may be just one more time"

He said hopelessly
As they both ended giggling together
But got their face straight again

"This is serious naina
Not something to laugh at ..."
He said with a serious face again

"Let's leave this country"
She said as his fingers played piano on his skin
