Forbidden Desire by Ritesh Prasad (best books to read ever TXT) 📖

tapping songs in my mobile and we started dancing. It continued the same way for about an hour.

I raised my glass which was my fifth peg and said. “My dear buddies I have decided I am giving up alcohol this year.”

“What rubbish? You can’t. Every time you are drunk you say the same thing… hahahhahaha.” Sanjeev said laughing.

“No Yaar I am serious. I have decided I will ditch this golden beauty forever.” I said while balancing myself and trying to get up.

“You are drunk Rohit…. Stop your melodrama act and sit down.” Kaushik taunted.

 

“Hey Kaushik this time I am really serious you won’t see me holding this golden beauty anymore after my marriage…coz I will have my own lady by my side. I am sorry my golden beauty I am breaking up with you”. I said and took sip from my glass.

“He is drunk Sanjeev… now he is unbearable…please find a way to shut his mouth.” Kaushik said and they both laughed.

 

“No Yaar I am fine, just listen to what I am saying. My Mom is coming next month and I have decided I will open about my relationship with Mom. I am getting married next year… had enough of this vagabond life now I want to become a family man. A decent job which I have now. I beautiful wife who will wait for me till I reach home in the night after office. She will cook my favorite dishes and post dinner having romance with my wife which will ease all the tiredness of the day and two years later I will become a proud Daddy of a beautiful girl….What say buddies?” I said gulping my fifth peg.

And we all laughed louder and louder.

Suddenly my life had become so beautiful, everything looked so nice. But the very next moment I felt sad I took out my mobile and looked at Sakshi’s photo. Her absence was making me crazy and this urge me to dial her number, there was ring on the other end.

 

“Hi Hubby !!! Where are you?” She answered.

 

“Hey babbbbyy now please come back I can’t bear this separation any more”. I said wiping my eyes.

 

“Hey hey ….why are you crying. You act so childish sometimes. I am coming tomorrow, I will reach there by evening.”

 

“Really you mean it?” I said in excitement.

 

“Yes dear. I will there by evening.”

“How’s   my baccha doing these days? Its long separation I know.”

 

“He is missing his Momma very badly. I said and started crying again.”

“Okay I got you now…you are drunk.”

 

“How did you know?” I said controlling my tears.

 

“I know everything. I don’t need to be by your side to understand what’s going in your life and how you are feeling. I can sense that even from miles away.”

 

If it’s that so…then why don’t you come?”

 

“I am coming baby tomorrow. Why are you getting so impatient? In just a matter of months you have become so helpless. What if I get out of your life completely? What will you do?” She teased me.

 

“Don’t ever say that. I can’t even imagine living without you my day starts and ends with you. If you are not there in my life then I am no more in this world.” I said being emotional.

 

“Ohhhh…stop being dramatic I am just kidding. When you are drunk it’s impossible to talk with you.”

 

“Comon now say something nice and romantic. You are good in that too when you are drunk. It’s been ages I haven’t heard anything sweet and romantic from you.”

 

“First you come then only. I said while relaxing on bed.” Sanjeev and Kaushik were there enjoying drinks in the other room.

 

“Arrey … I am requesting after such a long time. I know you are too good with words when you are drunk. Common now say something really sweet and touchy. I am in a mood to listen now. No excuses. Can’t you oblige to a small request of mine.”

 

“Okay if you insist then here I go I have written this song for you. Few weeks back when I was feeling very low and when you were not here, when my life was in such turbulence. I am starting please close your eyes and don’t open till I am finished with my sentences.”

 

“Okies!!! My sweet baccha.”

 

Here it goes Dear….listen carefully. Though I don’t have guitar right now else I would have played it for you. Hope you like it. I said and started singing.

 

“Suni si thi meri zindagi

tum aayi bahar ban kar

Bechaini meh dooba tha mera dil

Tum aayi karaar ban kar

Sanam mere Sanam tujhse hai khusiya meri

Sanam mere Sanam tujhse hai Duniya meri

Dekho na rehna tum, mujhse o duur humdum

Warna jayegi dekho jaan meri… Ho hooooo

Suni si thi meri zindagi

tum aayi bahar ban kar……”

 

 

 

“Ohhh that’s really wonderful you wrote that for me. Did you write this on your own? Awesome!!!!! I must say. My hubby has now become poet as well….Great!!!!”

 

“Yes it’s for you my dear. You are the one who gave me a reason to smile you are the one who gave me reason to survive. If you are there I feel complete …If you are not I feel I am no more. That’s what the theme of the song is and that’s what you really mean to me. Sakshi come soon. I can’t tolerate this separation anymore.” I said gulping my peg.

 

I could hear Sanjeev was calling me from the other room.

 

“Sakshi I need to go…. Kaushik and Sanjeev are calling me. You take care and come soon.”

 

“Okay Honey but don’t drink too much and go home early. I will call you in the evening once I reach Kolkata.”

 

“Okay my Honey… you take care too. Miss you love you a lot.” I said and disconnected the call.

 

I entered the room and saw Sanjeev was sitting alone. “Where is Kaushik?” I asked him.

“Talking to someone over phone.”

 

“Girlfriend??” I enquired.

 

“I don’t know ask him when he comes. You both left me alone. Wish I had a Girlfriend too.” He said in despair.

 

“Salman you don’t start it again please... When you are drunk you irritate with these kinds of filmy dialogues.”

 

“Ha bhai Tumhara ishq … ishq!!!! aur hamara ishq pani hai”

 

“Ohhh Sanjeev please stop bro… Comon make the final peg for me. I got to leave now.”

 

“Why so early it’s just 10:00 pm. Why don’t you stay here for tonight?” He said pouring whiskey in both the glasses.

“Ohh no dude. I have an office tomorrow. I got to leave anyhow.” Soon Kaushik joined us back.

 

“Hey Kaushik where were you? Talking with GF?” I asked him while taking my peg.

 

“Ohhh no buddy… I have no time and money for all those stuff. Was talking to my Manager regarding some urgent report to be sent tomorrow.”

 

“Ohhh… I thought you were hiding something from us.” I said and smiled.

 

“I am not like you…. If there is something like that you will definitely come to know.” Prompt was his reply. I knew he was taunting on me, so I stopped the discussion there itself. I lighted one cigarette and continued enjoying my last peg for the day. We then continued chatting for a while till there was whiskey in my glass and then I left after my final drink.

 

I took a rickshaw for home and was there in my room in within minutes banged on my bed. The morning as usual after a heavy drink is never soothing I had a bad headache. I took medicine to relieve my pain and rested for a while till my headache was gone. Just it was half an hour I was relaxing i was disturbed by mobile ringtone I looked it was Mom’s call. She said she is coming to Kolkata by train next Sunday I should reach there in station well in advance. I was happy Mom was coming that also alone. So I would feel more at ease while opening about by relationship.

 

The same evening Sakshi reached Kolkata. She called me around 9 pm, I was about to leave for the day from office. I told her my Mom is coming next Sunday and this time I am going to talk about her and asked Sakshi to come home this Saturday I will discuss rest of the things there only.

 

As agreed she was there,I heard a knock on the door while I was half asleep. I knew it was her. So I always kept door open. It was chilled winter morning and don’t felt like getting out of the bed so I shouted from inside come in and close the door.

She entered with a bag in hands. I knew she will there for rest of the day and the bag contained her extra dress.

 

“When I was not here you were getting paranoid and now when I here in your house you don’t even feel like getting out of bed to receive me. Shall I leave if you want to sleep for extra few hours?” She said pulling my blanket.

 

“Ohhh Sakshi its pretty cold outside please don’t do this.” I said pulling the blanket back.

 

“I have come to see you so early in the morning; i didn’t even have my breakfast and you selfish man still lying on bed. Aren’t you ashamed of your act? Come on get up and prepare some breakfast for me.” She said and pulling the blanket again.

 

“Ohh forget about the breakfast come you also get in.” I said pulling her inside.

 

“Hey wait you will ruin my new dress.” She said and pushed me back.

 

She then went into the kitchen and changed her dress to track pant and neck pull over.

She came in and got inside the blanket as well. She hugged me tight and I felt warmth of her body. I was seeing her, touching and feeling her body after months.

 

“Ohhh Sakshi I missed you a lot.” I said and planted a long kiss on her lips. She didn’t protested and just closed her eyes. We kept like that for few minutes. I had waited for this moment since months. Finally there was she in my arms and I wanted to feel her. After few minutes she pushed me back.

 

“Okay stop!!! I am not running anywhere. Tell me first? How much you missed me.” She said putting her head on my chest while I was lying straight.

 

“I missed you a lot and lot and there is no ending… the words of the entire world be insufficient to explain how I felt without you.” I said and kissed her forehead.

 

“You said you would be back in couple of weeks and it’s almost two months. Don’t you dare ever think of leaving me again like this? I have forgiven you this time. But next time I won’t be as nice as I am today. Because I am very happy that you are back and I have a new job. No more over stretching on Sundays. We will have weekends to spend together.” I said and embraced her back in my arms.

 

“Really?? See I was not there for few days and so many good things happened in your life. I told you before I am totally a jinx for you. If I will go out of your life permanently you would be happy forever.” She taunted me.

 

“Ohhh Sakshi please stop rubbish, don’t you dare ever repeat that sentence. You are the most beautiful part of my life.” I said looking into her eyes which were extremely charismatic and hold her back in my arms again. Our eyes closed and I felt her hand moving around my back and I felt sensuous…she came closer to me I could feel her breath and I slowly moved my lips towards her and I could feel the taste of those soft pink lips. She pulled me forward and was so close that her bosoms were touching my chest I crossed my hand around her waist pulled her soft body a bit closer. I could sense her breath that was increasing with my each touch as I started undressing her. I pulled the
