"Meera wait", Vikranth pulled her in a hug. She doesn't know whether it comes out of love or purely a lust. Why he's not giving the feeling of affection, she asked herself.

His touch, his gaze, his smile, everything making her fail in questioning his love on her yet she finds everything unusual.

Is this how everyone loves? Is he really genuinely loves me? But one thing she understood that he wants her more physically and because of her stupid heart she gave herself to him. She surely hates her decision now.

Meera looked at him and he just gave a small smile. Whether he's really worth for my precious love, she asked mentally.

"I will meet you tomorrow, good night", Vikranth said with a smile.

She didn't meet his eyes and got down from the car. She walked to her house feeling so uncomfortable, weak and pain on her thighs.

When she reached home, her mom was waiting for Meera in the living room.

"Thank God, You came Meera are you hungry?" Her mom asked her.

"No mom, I feeling so tired, I am going to sleep", Meera said and went to her room.

She didn't say anything and nodded her head. I am sorry mom today I did a great mistake, Meera thought while walking away.

She quickly went into the restroom and removed all her clothes. She noticed the blood stains in between her thighs. She turned on the heater and sat under the running hot shower. She cried and cried until she felt satisfied. So much of things came in her mind that time.

What if my mom finds about this?

What will I do when Vikranth leave me?

What will happen if I get pregnant?

What if he didn't marry me?

But answers she doesn't know, only the time will tell her. She came out of the restroom and changed into some comfortable clothes before drying her hair.

"Meera," her mom called that time and came inside the room. She noticed that Meera took bath at this time and her red eyes because of crying.

"What happened Meera why you're looking so dull?" she asked. Her soothing words made Meera's heart to go weak, she badly want to cry in her shoulders but she couldn't.

"No mom nothing," Meera said.

"Meera, you have to be strong dear. You should live happily. I can't say that I can always be with you," Meera's mom said with a smile on her face.

"Maa!!! why you're taking this?" She exclaimed.

"No dear, I just saying you have to be strong from now on," her mom said.

Meera couldn't understand why she's talking like this and she noticed that her eyes were also red and Nowadays Meera noticed her mom becoming lean and lean. She questioned about it a few time but her brush off that topic. Meera doesn't know what is happening to mom which is worrying her right now.

"Amma, are you really alright?" Meera asked. Taking a moment her mom replied, "Yes, I am fine, Meera. Don't worry about me."

She talked with her for some time about her studies and asked her to get good marks in the upcoming exams. Unusually she mentioned about her savings that were in the bank. Meera felt there is something not right in her. But she didn't ask anything and listened to her words.

"Amma, can I sleep in your lap?" Meera asked her.

She smiled and nodded happily, Meera placed her head on her mom's lap and closed her eyes. She started caressing Meera's hair and Meera felt like she is in heaven and wanted to stay like this forever.

Next morning I opened my eyes when the bright sunlight hit my face. My Body ached like someone beat me so hard. I don't know why I am feeling like this. I came out of my room and searched for my mom.

She was in the kitchen and cooking something, the smell tempted me to eat. But I am surprised cause my mom was in the home. She won't take leave from her work and today she's in the home.

"Amma you didn't go for your work?" I asked.

"No dear I am on leave ", she said without seeing my face.

"oh", I went back to my room. After taking bath I ware a black top and legging, I started to pack my bag and bought lunch from my mom. She asked me to come home earlier and I felt she is acting differently.

After reaching the bus stop the phone in my bag started to vibrate. I know who is calling, but I am not in a state to talk with him.

I can't concentrate on my class the yesterday intimacy were coming in front of eyes. There is only a semester is there to complete this course and that exam is on next month. After completing I have to work for an NGO and that's my aim, will I achieve that and what's going to happen in my life?? I thought without listening to my lecture.

In the evening I came out of my college and slowly walked to the bus stop. The sky has turned cloudy. I seated in a window side seat in the bus, a chill air touched my skin. I closed my eyes..... whatever the situation I am in today is all because of being and I know that for sure.

When I reached my home, my mom welcomed me with a bright face. I forgot all my worries and smiled seeing her face. She prepared a very nice dinner for me. I ate a lot after a long time.

That night my mom slept with me, she and I talked about several things. I told my worries about getting a job, she said that I will definitely get a great job and a good life. Her encouraging words gave a strength to me. I slept peacefully hugging my mom without the thought of Vikranth.

Next day Meera as usually went to her college. To her surprise her mom was in the home, she said that she's on leave for this whole week which made her happy.

Meera noticed that Vikranth didn't call her and she felt like it is not good without talking with him, after all, he's the man that she wanted in her life. So during the lunch break, she called him but he didn't attend her call. Meera tried again and again but there is no response from him. She thought he's angry with her.

In the evening after taking some notes in the library, Meera walked out of her college, from tomorrow onwards her study holidays were starting.

She tried to call Vikranth again cause her heart was racing to hear his voice. She doesn't know why she started to love him this much. ah... I'm going insane because of this love. But again he didn't attend her call which added fuel to her fears.

After reaching her house she felt so hungry and today also her mom prepared my favorite dishes and they were so tasty. And this night also her mom slept beside her. She usually sleeps in the living room so that she can wake up earlier in the morning but what happened to her?? why she is acting differently? But what is there in this?? Meera thought and didn't want to ask about this stupidly,

The next day afternoon she called Vikranth again for the n'th time, to her surprise he attend her call.

"Hello?" Meera said in a calm tone.

"Where are you now?" Vikranth asked her authoritatively.

"I am in my house."

"Okay, I will come and pick you there," he said and quickly ended the call. Meera decided to go no matter what.

Meera's mom came home after visiting the nearby temple. "Mom I am going to meet my friend, regarding our project, can I go? I will be back soon," Meera asked her.

"Hmm go," her mom agreed easily without asking much questions.

Meera felt happy inside but she thought, why Vikranth is asking me to meet now and why he didn't attend my call for the whole day?

When she got a message from him, that he's waiting for her at the end of her street, Meera said bye to her mom.

But her mom asked her to wait.

She placed sindoor on Meera's forehead that she bought from the temple.

"You should not feel sad for anything Meera and be happy because I am always with you," she said.

Meera nodded with a smile and rushed to go out. When she saw Vikranth, she smiled and he didn't smile back.

He opened the door for her and she got in. She wanted to speak with him about their future and what he has decided on their relationship bcause she's very afraid of what's going to happen in her life after that night of passion.

She's feeling like something bad going to happen in her life since that moment.

He drove the car to his house. He got down and went inside and she followed him. He's not at all talking with her and she doesn't know why he's acting differently.

"Vikranth wait!!" She said when we entered his house.

"What?" he turned and asked her.

"Why you didn't attend my call yesterday?"

"Why you didn't attend my call the day before yesterday?" he countered.

"I... Felt like..." She doesn't know what to say and looked at him blankly.

"Meera, see you can't question me, I am so good on you but you're not understanding me and feeling guilty about what happened between us" he ranted and went near her.

"I want you Meera, you're all mine why didn't understand that," Vikranth said in a soft tone and reached out his hand to touch her face. He slowly leaned forward to kiss her.

Meera closed her eyes and waited for his lips. She don't want to kiss him but still something in her pushing to do this. She feels hot, she had an irresistible urge to touch him, hug him and kiss him even though she doesn't want any of this to happen right now.

The kiss intensified their urges. Vikranth entered his hand into her salwar. She want to push him away but he's not leaving her lips. Her mind is pushing her to respond to his kiss rather than to stop him.

He pushed her to the nearby couch and started removing his shirt.

"Vikranth please I don't...." before Meera could protest,

"I need you Meera, I need you now," he said in an intimidating tone.

"No... Vikranth..... please... Stop," Meera said and tried to push him when he tried to undress her

"Stop it!!! you stupid", he shouted over the frustration of Meera pushing him away.

She's jerked to hear him and also scared to see his eyes which furiously staring at her.

No Vikranth, don't.... do... this.
