Chapter 9
This is my thing to do. Roam around or drive around the streets of Delhi at 12 when the city is deep asleep and the jammosaurus traffic is gone.
I know you guys are stuck with the word jamosaurus
Few might have even flicked through the pages of the dictionary or scrolled through thesaurus.
But you can applaud for me
Because Jammosaurus is my creation.
Jam is taken from traffic jam or congestion
Saurus is the dangerous version of mechanical dinosaur that is eating away the whole city.
Okay if you wish to throw onions, ripe yucky tomatoes or eggs like in Fault of stars, you are NOT welcome.
However the yellow lights gracing the streets of Delhi in winters of-6 degrees, slight mist blurring the vision and the hollow entrance of India gate expressing the grace and pride of the country.
Whoa I would have gotten an a+ if I had to write an essay on patriotism.
However my peace was broken by loud roaring
Couple of bikes sashayed around roaring with their engine destroying the silence of the night.
Probably teenagers, not that I am too old but yes they are adolescent who have been given the luxury and were benefitting from the same irresponsibly.
Not that I was anything different when I was16.
But life teaches you a lot.
One
Two
Three
Four bikers in their badass dark and tight outfits roared and cut through the empty streets overtaking me.
And if it was my illusion or reality I did notice one of the biker slowing down and having a good look at me.
Should I be scared?
First the restaurant steward and now this biker!
Should I add to my car number plate "straight and no more single"
Shall I carry a board everywhere I go along "I am not a gay"
For heavens sake I have a fiance now
Well she is a pretending one but I do have her and I am no more eavailable especially for guys or gays whatever.
Shrinking into my seat I pressed the gas and tried to run away from the funny thouhts ad enjoy the calm of night.
Too bad calm and peace were somehow playing hide and seek in my destiny.
Few miles ahead I heard some loud yelling and cursing and the curiosity getting better over me I stopped to notice two cops having a tough time with girls.
Holy freaking s**t!
They were not just girls
They were the bikers
Yes!! The bikers who werepulling stunts, speeding their bikes, lifting the rear wheels of their bikes and even ixrcumdated their bike on the rear wheel then speeding through the black and white speed bumps lifting themselves a feet higher in the air.
Gosh! These gilrs wer a handful.
Well I did smile a bit now.
My chest was now inflated like a kids jumping jack as I feel proud of being straed by a girl.
Definitely I stoill have my charms' I pep talked myself as I waited at the scenario only to be shouted and get my car kicked by the cop with his fat stick
"what are you watching. Ths aint some drama. Go, go..."
Feeling the set of eyes fixated on me and brawl between the girls and cops louder as they cursed him for not doing his duty properly and troubling the innocent citizens of India. I drove through.
'''''''''''''''
what is the most annoying thimg during winters?
Not the cold?
Neither the fact that you cannot enjoy ice dishes and cool and yummy panipuris.
It is the situation when you are tired and in deep sleep and you realize that you have forgotten to pee before going to sleep.
Now when you are warm and fuzzy and comfortably cuddled in the thick mink blanket, the irritation in your bladder tha initially softly tries to wake you up and requests for liberation which you kindly ignore pressing the pillow on your face.
However the bladder insists and demands a quick trip, very nicely you ignore and the pillow that had earlier graced your face now shifts between your legs shutting the mouth of organ that has an important task to perform and forgetting that the same pillow is going to grace your face tomorrow.
You cangag later because the begging and pleading now turns into a full blown agitation which in turn blows into a revolution and you have no choice but to succumb.
I was exactly in the same position right now.
Throwing my mink blanket in one blow like ripping a bandaid and then winced as my feet touched the cold flow I took off to the rest room
But a loud shriek erupted my mouth, I almost peed.
Hypothetically!!! Okay!
There stood in just outside room a dark silhouette like a ghost flying outside in the air.
However the ghost was not so powerful one.
How do I know that?
Simple
He did not have the powers to just cross through the transparent glass, he had to struggle with the locks and slide the glass window.
"ssssh...sssh... sssh"
or rather "pssshhhss pssshsss" did the strnger clad in dark shouted as he reached me.
Correctionbs she reached me
It was a girl!
Yay!
I have my charms on
I have my charms on
I was mentally singing and rejoicing in my head when I was spanked on my head by the same girl.
Wait I know it was really stupid of me to cleebtate but what was the reason to be violent about it?
I was about to shout the same curse at her when she stretched her thin hands to lift the helmet off her head .
Slowly with the lifting of the acrylic head gear, her soft curls started bouncing on her shoulders.
I was about to ask her the rason of her intruding when I noticed her elbows scraped with her dak shirt torn and blood dripping from it.
"Oh s**t! You are hurt and bleeding" excuse my theatrics but in the mid of night f a stranger ends up at ypur place hurt and bleeding one tends to panic okay.
But I di not forget my ettiquetes "what are you doing her, you should be treating yourself?" I asked.
"exactly Sherlock" she teased or mocked whtever you can take it as but I was too shunned to see Sia in the middle of might standing tall and pretty with her pretty golden brown curls bouncing on her shoulders and as her usual self she trying to work on my humiliation, just normal right
"that's what doctors are meant for and I am here" she turned around to fave me, her eyes exactly at level with mine as she stared straight, not a trace of pain with the wound that she'd got. "I thought having a doctor as a fiancée would come handy" she winked at me and tehn voluntarily without asking started running through my desks and drawers looking for something tht ai couldn't guess.
"Sia" I called "do you need something? Can I help?" I asked politely.
"yeah" she nodded "I do need something" she continued her search as if she was detective and I the yet to be proved crimi al and non existent t all.
She looked at me distatstefully and then waving her hand up and down at my figure she said "the way you are standing clueless , I thought I'll help you find the medical kit and then you can treat me." She for the first time winced as she pressed the wound of her elbow with her other hand trying to stop the blood to spill.
"o' yes this was the shape of my mouth a sthe realization hit me "I am so sorry" I rushed towards her and then switching the lights on I examined the wound.
It wasn't something fatal but if ignored it might catch an infection and although she was doing quiet a good job in masking the pain but I knew very well that it was hurting her like a b***h.
Wow! This girl is simply wow.
Now this quality of tolerance and patience is something I really do admire especially when have seen people jumping up in the air even with a mild injury.
Without wasting any time I opened my cupboard, which she hadn't touched yet and picked the white box market with a red-plus sign and started attending her wound.
"The stunts were amazing" I complimented only to distract her.
Biting her lips tightly she tried to suppress her pain so I was trying to occupy her thoughts with some thing other than her wound.
"huh" she was per[lexed wondering hwer the topic came from.
She tried to look into my face tryin g to learn how'd I knew about the bike and stunts.
But boy I was wrong!
"I know you were there and you did notice and enjoy a girl's attention" she said teasing me casually and suddenly she stiffened, her voice turning into crisp curt as she warned "its better if you don't start lecturing about how dangerous it was and how wrong it is for a girl to ride during midnight."
"Whoa whoa.. hold your accusations" I said as I finished bandaging her sticking the final white tape.
"I thought that was hot" now it was her time to blush at the compliment.
"Really?" she asked excitedly rubbing her hands and then shrieking softly since it hurt "you are going to be a nice fiancé and do agree that it is cool " she shrugged correcting herself as she made an oohhh face "hawwwt as you put it through and you are okay with your fiancée roaming around the streets " she paused to look into her watch and mentioned precisely "2:45 am in the night"
"look" I said passing a painkiller towards her "I am yor pretended fiance"
did I see a cringing expression on my face?
Maybe not
But my tongue did get a taste of bit of bitterness with the usage of the word 'pretend'
Ignoring it I added "that doesn't mean that I approve of the stunts you were performing on the streets of Delhi especially when the entire world is aware of Delhi gets unsafe during the nights especially for girls and women."
"you are such a stero.." she almost yelled
"wait let me finish" I almost pressed her mouth to stop her from waking up the entire mansion "that doesn't mean that I do not trust you that you cannot take care of yourself" I gave a once over o her taut muscles and toned figure that were clearly visible from the dark leather dress that she'd so gracefully adorned.
Damn why is she so hot?
The little thing down south cannot differentiate between fiancée and pretend fiancée"
"so?" she was ready for another verbal brawl.
I sighed a bit louder than needed "its okay Sia. I am not the one to guide you between right and wrong. Ofcourse that doesn't mean I do not care about you because I do."
"you care for me?" her question was accompanied with a shock "why?"
"why?" I chuckled "because you are my fiancée."
"pretended" she added curtly.
"yes pretended but weren't we friends before that" I coughed hiding my discomfort behind my own words "though ther is a huge drift between our ages but still I consider you as my friend. I di before this whole prtendimg arrangement thing too." I said honestly.
"friend?' she spoke more to herself as if this was a new syllable introduced to her.
"why does the thought of friendship stupefy you so much?" I asked inquisitiveness fogging me by now.
"nevr though a guy would want me as a friend ever." She said avoiding the ey contact.
"why would you have such an absurd idea about friending with guys?' I couldn help asked faking hurt as I clutched my heart dramatically.
"Be..caus..se all guys" she hit me on my hand playfully " are morons and all they associate friemdhip with girkls as girlfriend or friend with benefits. So hell yeah I do not befriend people." She started flexing her wounded hand avoiding any eye contact with me.
"Sia" I stoped her "stop hurting yourself."
S he looked at me as if I had grown two heads as if I had learnt her secret.
Yes she was right all guys are morons coz I honestly did not mean that
But clearly she was uncomfortable abot it
"I mean these hand movements might hurt you." I started packing my box to put back to place ' I bet all guys you met were morons because for me friendship is what I have with Angie we share everything with each other and also give space to each other when we know one doesn't want to share and trust me." I had her full attention by now.
Yes I do now feel like I have two heads for she was giving me undivided attention without making a fool out of me " never have I evr thought of taking benefits from her in any way>"
"I trust you on that." Sia said easily but had her teeth gritted for she was finding it utmost difficult to use the word trust.
Then she started laughing hysterically as if she was possessed.
Sudden fear of being ridiculed by her again engulfed me but it disappeared soon a si realized that she looked prettier laughing "benefits wirth Pari?" she laughed again "I doubt you'd evr dream of it with my brother thirsty and quite eager to chop off your balls with our traditional inherited sword that is still hanging as a show piece on othe walls of our living room." She nodded "not possible mr. Sandeep"
A suddn image of Raj wih that rusted sword running after my balls interrupted."
I know you guys might also had my image without my underwear by now
Cut the poor guy aka me some slack!
I am the lead character!
"you know what he'd actuall y be banging on my doors tomorrow morning with that sword of his if he realized that you are spending the night here with me." I bluntly expressed my thoughts.
"especially when he'd warned or placed a celibacy till marriage rule' as if it was evr needed"
"oh! right I forgot that you are scared of my brother." She stood on her feet, picked her hemet and was about tpo leave when I stopped her.
"Whp told ypu that I am afraid of your brother?" I saod angrily "infact I'd enjoy a little entertainment with him first thing I the morning. So you stay."
"are you sure you want me to stay?" she asked rising her yebrows unsure about me.
"Positive.' I confirmed.
"I am not asking about your blood group idiiot" she teased.
"oh I thought you rae making sure of the availability incase your brother manages to attack me with the useless sword of his" I played along.
"you two are such a thing>' she commented and then she narrowed her eyes "are you sure you two are straight?" she teased.
What is it with people testing my manhood?
"As straight my d**k gets with the sight of a hot woman dressed in keather" I bluted all of a sudden without thinking
"o" was permanently etched on her face and her eyes sliding to the center of my waist whne I clicked my fingers at her "you want to go home?" ia sked without waiting for an answer "I'll drop you then."
"I know my way home" she snapped.
"ofcourse you do" give me a grammy because I managed my temper and answered , my voice cooler than a cucumber in the summer salad "but I doubt you''ll be able t drive' I gestured her bandaged hand.
She looked between me and her hand that was wrapped in white gauge tape.
Then thinking something she answered :I guess I can do with little entertainment in the morning too." She smiled and her broad smile did reach her eyes.
"I am sure you can" I smiled with her and then resting my hand on her tiny waist as I lead her to the guest room I told "between incase there is bloodshed I want you to know that my blood group is B+ but you should bother more about your brother whose blood group is O-" I winked at her.
"over confidence can prove fatal" she shouted from across the room
But I waved her dismissively "we'll see that omorrow.'
"Good night baby. Sleep tight" I greeted before leaving for my own room.
My kingsize bed welcoming me with open arms.
