THIS PARTICULAR CHAPTER IS WRITTEN FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE FEMALE CHARACTER (PARUL).
NOTE : Unlike USA, movies in India are released in theatres with a break of about 10 minutes in the middle of the film splitting it into two halves. This break is called an "Intermission" or "Interval".
Standing next to the entrance Gate of Metro Station, I thought to myself, "Am I really doing this? Is this really happening or is it one of my nightmare (or fantasy)?"
I quickly got my answer as a fat, pot-bellied man came up to me and opened his mouth to speak through his tobacco chewing red-stained teeth, "Madam, Auto krna hai?" (Madam, do you want a ride in Autorickshaw?).
I knew this was really happening, as the men in my fantasy or even nightmares were better looking than this fellow. I shook my head in a no and the auto-driver checked me out from head to toe, his eyes stopped mainly at the two places where most men are interested in, and then he made his way to wherever he was standing.
I was waiting for Sajid, he had informed me he would pick me up from the station and we ride together on his bike. I covered my face with my headscarf, as I had roamed these localities with Samarth and didn't want to risk anyone recognizing, or seeing me with Sajid.
I had dropped a message to Samarth letting him know of my ride to the cinema hall with Sajid, but I guess he was still sleeping as he had not replied yet.
Samarth. He is everything and more I could've asked for in a guy. He's smart, understanding, looks good, belongs to a well educated and decent family and has a caring nature. But there is another side of him that now only I know of. The unpredictable side, where you couldn't guess what he would do or say.
Looking at him, I would have never guessed in my life that he harbored such fantasies. When he mentioned it to me first, I was honestly a little bit hurt. I thought maybe he himself wanted a free pass at other girls and wants to remove the guilt of it all, so he is telling me these weird fetishes. But upon a little more thought, I realized, isn't it fun? Not only do you have someone like Samarth who loves and cares for you endlessly, but also the thrill of experimenting with someone new. All this with the full co-operation of the one you love.
What's the harm in trying. And if things don't go they we want, just stop it all together. Atleast that was the plan. Easier thought than done.
A red bike speedily made it's way through the traffic and stopped right where I was standing. It was Sajid. He motioned me to sit, and I hopped on. I gave one last look at that auto-driver, and he had strange smurk on his face. He must have thought I was with my boyfriend, and he must be getting some action real soon. Will he be though?
Sajid was wearing a helmet so I had to speak up to make him hear.
"Drop me off at the entrance of the mall and park your bike inside. Then meet me at the cinema hall."
"Why, what's up?"
"Just do what I say." I noticed that Sajid respected what I said always. Never spoke up against or even raised his voice on me. He looked and acted like a jock, but was not one. He was driving at a considerable speed, and his sudden breaks jerked me forward, which made my breasts crush against back. Perhaps that was his plan. He had touched my hand a few times in office, but it was all in playful banter. There was nothing sexual in it. And that is why I didn't think there would be any action happening at all.
I just wanted to make Samarth feel happy, and if by in the process get to discover a new side of me, then better. I messaged Samarth and let him know that we're on our way. He was up and instantly replied "alright, keep me updated, All the best hun". I smiled and replied back thanks.
There was a chance of Samarth's relatives or cousins spotting at this particular mall, so I wanted to go in by myself to avoid any mis-happenings.
I took out my scarf and sunglasses and made my way to the top floor, where the cinemas theatre was.
"You guys are late. Hurry up." Samarth messaged me. He used to fret a lot. Even in the silliest of things.
"Hold on. Control beta control." I teased him back.
I made my way to the cinema hall. Sajid was already there. "That was fast", I thought to myself.
He came near me and said, "Parulji, I still can't believe you said yes for this movie date." He was grinning from ear to ear.
He was genuinely excited about today, and somehow that also made me feel wanted. Not that Samarth wasn't paying attention to my needs, he was doing more than that. But to see such excitement in a third person's eyes makes you feel good inside as well.
I looked around and couldn't notice a single familiar face. We both entered after showing the tickets, and I told Sajid I'll visit the ladies room and come back. He nodded in approval and that is when I noticed he was actually looking good. He had trimmed his stubble, wore a red jacket with a white tee underneath and blue jeans which matched the shades of mine as well.
I went inside and took off my netted pullover all together as I was wearing a body-hugging black tee. It accentuated at the very right places and also gave a little show of my cleavage. The red lipstick matched my red heels. I looked in the mirror and thought that's why Sajid was grinning from ear to ear. He never hoped to have someone like me with him. I clicked a selfie and sent it to Samarth.
"Holy shit, you look so hot. I should have been there with you." He replied back.
"Thanks baby. About to go in." I breathed deep and came out. Sajid was there standing next to the auditorium, waiting for me. His widened as he noticed I had taken the netted pullover and his eyes went to the body hugging tee. I had seen him looking at me in office on certain occasions, but today was the first time I could clearly see his attention was fixed on my breasts and tummy. He must've realized he was staring for far too long, as he started fidgeting while trying to open the door of the auditorium. I walked in and he walked behind. It was dark, the movie had started already. I opened the flashlight on my phone and we both made our way to our seats. It was a wall corner seat in the top row. Which meant no one could see us from behind.
"I'll sit in the corner seat, Parulji you sit on the left side." Sajid said as he passed me by to sit on the corner seat. I made my way to sit on his left, and the seats next to my left were empty. My eyes got accustomed to the darkness, as now I could clearly make out that most of the auditorium was empty. It was an afternoon show, so I could make out that there were a few couples sitting on the front rows. I saw one middle aged guy sitting on the first seat on the next row to my left. He was looking towards me, but then turned to face the screen. I settled my purse on the empty seat next to me and my mobile flashed bright again. It was a message from Samarth.
"Kaha ho?" (Where are you?) he asked.
"Settled in seat."
"Great. Have Fun Babe." I smiled as he read his message. Here I was, his girlfriend sitting inside an almost empty movie theatre with someone other than him, and he was encouraging me to have fun.
"Any limits?" I asked Sammy as I didn't want to do something that would upset him.
"It's the first time yaar, let him wet his beak a little but don't let him have everything. YET." I got the gist of what was to be done.
"Parulji?" Sajid leaned into my ear. "I wanted to tell you something."
"Yes, tell me."
"You're looking very beautiful today. Don't mind me saying that."
"Thank you Sajid. But you tell me that everyday."
"But today I saw you properly. It's different. You really look amazing. And thank you so much for coming with me. I never thought that you would agree for this."
Sajid sounded genuine in his words. I smile came on my face and he instinctively also smiled back.
"Kuch aur bol sakta hu aapse? (Can I say something else)" he asked looking up and down at me. His eyes running wild all over my body.
"Bolo" (Tell me).
"You look hot in this dress. Heel and tee and jeans. It suits your figure." Now I could see he was getting nervous. Sajid was trying to push the boundaries a little by little. He was being careful not to offend me in any way.
