Satyendra's POV:

Thundering striked loudly and I pulled her in the duvet as she sat in between my legs and her back rested on my chest as I sat up resting my body towards the headboard of the bed.

The warmth of her body against mine as the rains poured more was the best feeling ever...
My hands slowly reached the hem of the tshirt and I whispered in her ears...
'May I?' and she blushed more and turn around while curling like a little furball in my arms...

I smiled and slowly removed the tshirt off her body and she shivered more...
My hands hugged her tightly against my bare body and I was tempted to completely get rid of every piece of cloth off our bodies but I didn't want to hurry.
Her wet tangled hair was stuck to my white gold lion head pendant...

I smiled as she winced with a 'Ouch'...and I whispered in her ears saying...
'Shhhhh....looks like the habit of tangling untangling of your beautiful long hair hasn't still been tamed Biwi' and she hit on my chest. As i chuckled and slowly began untangling her long wet hair...

'By the way it was never me...it was you...who used to come to the terrace to see us practice dance at every Diwali party giving stupid reasons' she said while I was still untangling her hair .. and I stopped...

'Excuse me Biwi... thats totally wrong ok...I would come to see the arrangements for the Diwali celebrations as I was the committee member...and it's not my fault if my wife danced like a seductress' I said and she blushed more...I pulled her against me more as finally the hair was no longer stuck to my pendant...

I kissed her forehead and said...
'Those two months of the year were the most beautiful for me as I would see you teaching dance to little kids in the apartment...and finally I would get to see you perform at the final rehearsal...uffffff.... My heart' I said and she hid her face in my bare chest and I squeezed her a little more...

She kissed my chest as I was now growing hard for her by her actions... Slowly her hands played on the edge of my sweat pants and mine landed on the buckle of the last cloth of her upper body...we looked into each other's eyes and we knew where this was going...

Discarding every piece of cloth off our body...we completely covered each other in a warm hug... She was tightly pressed against my body under the sheets... while her hair tangled again in my pendant...
She huffed in anger and i giggled...

'Purani aadat he Biwi (It's a old habit Wife)' and she rolled her eyes and pouted while I smiled and she continued untangling her long hair again as I kept looking into her button like eyes and her angel like face while caressing her cheeks and pink lips....

'There was a time when you were this close yet I couldn't touch you Biwi... and see today we are stuck to each other...just in this duvet...indeed times change' I said earning yet another slap on my chest and I pulled her more in between my legs... and her eyes widened...
I giggled and she rolled her eyes again and continued untangling her hair...As I drifted down yet another beautiful memory lane...

Flashback begins...

'Adai inke vaikavvum (put it here in Tamil) ahhh perfect now' I said while we had begun decorating our apartments and society for the annual diwali party. It was a three day celebration... where day 1 involved games and fancy dress competition for the kids, basketball tournament for the teens and 'one bounce out' gully cricket for elderly folks senior citizen's.

I would be the member of the organizing committee and it was an event where all the four blocks of Purvi Apartments society would happily participate.

This would follow by the entertainment evening and Saraswati Pooja on the Choti Diwali which was headed by the one and only trained classical dancer of our society...Miss Shravani Khanna who would not just choreograph and plan the entire event but would also perform on the event... which was a treat to my eye...

And the Badi Diwali always would involve... a lavish pot luck programme where every household would cook a little from their home and bring to the open space garden area where everyone would share and have a lavish buffet.

The evening would end with a melodious Bhajan by Shravani followed by Laxmi Pooja and everyone bursting crackers and wishing each other a 'Happy Diwali' by feeding and exchanging sweets...

But the best part of this month was 'she' being around more than usual.
Yes!!! The strange awkwardness was still around...and I really don't know why!!!
She wouldn't talk. She would avoid talking 'directly!!!' but there was a strange way of our conversation!!!

The indirect way!!!
Yupppp!!! I to Shonali... Shonali to her...she back to Shonali and Shonali back to me!!!
'Taunting' was the language we learnt to communicate!!! But no complaints I got to see her everyday.
It was fun to see her teaching little kids dancing...she even had made a few kids practice for the fancy dress competition. My sister Rishika had also turned naughty along with Rithika and Shonali who were default into that category... nowadays they would keep talking loudly when at home just so I would be informed...

'Shravani is teaching the kids dance today...

Today Shravani is practicing the Bhajan with kids...

Today she is teaching them the skit...'

And I would smile to myself but put up a serious face to avoid being teased by my evil sisters...Such was the drama now that my dad asked me one day directly...

'Sattu do you like Mr Khanna's daughter' and I had choked on my coffee badly while Rishika had burst out laughing like someone had turned on the knob of laughing gas cylinder.

I composed myself and looked at dad and said ..
'No Dad... these girls are mad..they simply tease us and try to embarrass us both...there is really nothing between us...it's just that everybody is teasing for no reason'

To which my dad put a small piece of paratha in his mouth and said...
'Well I don't know...but no one teases without reason son!!!' and my eyes popped out.

'Well all I can say is...you both are still very young... Emotions at this age is more of hormonal change rather than true feelings... take your time and don't do something stupid...she is just 18 and you are 22...I expect a little maturity from you here Sattu' and I held dad's hand in mine and said...

'Dad... relax...there is really nothing between us and even if there would be something..I know my limits and I will never break your trust and nor cross my limits..I promise'

Dad smiled and hugged me back but whispered...
'Well honestly if you would have a doctor girlfriend in future...I would be more than happy' and my eyes popped out.

Everyone knew Shravani was preparing for the medical entrance and dad's this taunt left me look like a cherry tomato.

My dad pulled my cheeks and laughed out loud and left from there. I was still sitting there with a shocked expression and with my eyes popping out...

My trance was broken as my sister's said in unison...
'We also don't mind a Doctor Bhabhi broooooo' and
burst out laughing...I quickly picked my stuff and left to college.

In the night we were organizing the final decorations as tomorrow was the fancy dress, games event...while Shonali suddenly pulled me with her upstairs and pushed me into the lift ..

'What the ...where are we going... Shonali the decorations are still pending...Gogi is managing everything alone up there...we still have to hang the lanterns...' I kept yelling but she didn't listen to me and took me to the terrace and I looked at her...

'Why did you bring me here???' I asked her to which she said...

'Ummmm Sattuuu..the miniature lighting doesn't work up there...can you please fix it up' and I huffed saying...

'Shonali we are still to look into this section...we have to prep for the garden area, tomorrow's first function would happen there...'

To which she said....
'Sattu please yaar...fix it na...I promise you won't regret coming here this time to fix it' she said cryptically and I wondered what she meant...

Rather than trying to decode her statements it's better to fix this up
..I thought to myself and began checking the lights and finally noticed there was a switch which wasn't on...I switched it on and the terrace lit up beautifully...

'Doneee' I said and turned around to see Shonali was missing...

I kept walking around trying to find her...but she was nowhere...
Just then I heard the jingling sound of anklets...

I saw someone in the other corner of the terrace in a white salwar kameez...hair left open...
Honestly I'm brave!!!
But this was a tad bit creepy...
Boosting up my moral I walked closer... as I heard some more giggles...

There were girls in the other corner and I saw Shonali as well...she winked at me and pointed her finger towards the girl in white...

And my throat dried up as I saw Shravani postured to dance like a diva...
Her hip raised...her toes pointed...her hands postured a 'mudra' and my heart began racing faster ...

Flashback ends...

'Ouchhhhhhh' I winced this time as she pulled the chain a bit harder...it probably left a mark on my neck...

'Ooopsss....sorry Sattu...did it hurt' she hugged me to analyse my nape...

'Shittt... there's a scratch...damn I never realised the chain is so sharp...sorry baby' she softly moved her fingers on it while she still hugged me warm in the duvet and I shuddered at the contact of our plain bodies ...

I closed my eyes as she blew air on the nape of my neck...I smiled at it and said...
'I like it...do it again please' she said...

'Whatttt???'

I squeezed her bare waist inside the duvet and pulled her closer and whispered...

'Do me Biwi' and she smirked and blushed... finally slapped my chest and I hugged her warm...

I felt her slowly digging her nails in my back as I pulled her more into me...my eyes still shined remembering the shining moon who danced that night taking my breath away...

Tonight that whole moon was melting in my arms...my eyes filled with tears and I left a open mouthed kiss on her neck and went on trailing my lips on her shoulder and she moaned driving me crazy...

'Sattuuuu...' she cried in pleasure...and I whispered in her ears...

'All mine...my moon is now all mine' and we burnt the duvet and sheets with the fire of our passion and desire!!!
We were ...
More fierce than the fire in the fireplace...
More loud than the roaring thunderstorm...

We flowed into each other like how rain mixed with dry mud...
Soaking all our long awaited pain, need and want!!!
