The love-addict - Chapter 5 - An Excerpt

                                          

                                                       

                     During the meal, Samaira had watched Rohan closely. His well-pressed, checked shirt and grey trouser fitted him nicely. His hair was thick and colored in places with red, no doubt due to henna. 

                  He appeared healthy and fit. His face was brown and lean. His dark brown eyes sparkled as he looked at her occasionally and his nose was straight and his chin jutted out proudly. He was above-average in height. He appeared to be very self-assured and hence was probably a man who knew what he wanted in life and how to get it!

              He was gentle and kind. He gave the impression of being a thorough gentleman, though she had instinctively felt that there was more to him that met her eye. His eyes had given him away, as he had appraised her, first when he set his eyes on her, that evening.

                   She felt that she could wrap him around her little finger, if she so desired! She decided to test him.

                  "You are most welcome,” she said. As she started sitting on a couch, she tripped on the carpet and landed straight into his arms. He held her briefly, as he supported her and steadied her. She smelt of some heavenly perfume, though the stench of liquor assailed his nostrils, as she opened her mouth to thank him. She had been drinking, he thought, disgustedly. Yet, he couldn’t help noticing her pretty pink lips, soft and inviting. As he unconsciously swept his tongue over his lips, she smiled slightly.

                 So her charm was casting her spell over him too, she thought vainly. His eyes were lowered, as though he didn’t want her to guess his amorous thoughts, but she was sure about what was on his mind. They were all the same, selfish and lecherous, she thought despairingly

                 As the maid bought in tea and snacks, she offered him a cup and asked him about.....

The Love-addict - Chapter 3 - An Excerpt

                                           

                  His eyes flashed as he angrily retorted, “So you have been sneaking on my calls again, haven’t you? You….” She bit her lip even as hot color flushed her cheeks. She had been caught! Still she brazenly offered her explanation, “Chill dear, you weren’t exactly discreet! Everyone at the pool heard about your rendezvous! So I can be hardly blamed. Anyway, may I know why you have deigned to pay a lowly mortal like me a visit?”

                  Just as he was about to retort sharply, a bell-boy cleared his throat tactfully and announced that he had brought her tea. He had earlier rung her door-bell thrice and left after no response.  Now he gleefully observed the tense under-currents between the two and walked away, whistling under his breath.

                 “Hmm, if you don’t want to speak, you can have a cup of piping hot tea with me, unless you’d prefer something else!” she murmured tantalizingly.

The Love-addict - Chapter 2 An Excerpt

                       

                    Then she shook her head. She’d have to trust someone! Taking a chance, she followed him into a taxi. When it stopped at her given address, she heaved a sigh of relief. She offered the fare to the stranger, who politely but firmly refused it. As she walked towards the shabby building, she turned around and was surprised to see that the taxi was still waiting there. She shrugged and walked up two flights of dingy stairs to ring the door-bell.

                     A dour-faced elderly man opened it, frowned and asked her what she wanted. “I’ve come from Lucknow to meet Reena. I was her class-mate in college. After she shifted here, we lost touch.”

                     Gruffly, he asked her, “So what brings you here now, young lady? She has married and now stays in Nashik.”

                      Samaira couldn’t believe her ears and cursed her hard luck. Now she was truly lost. Where would she go?

The Love-addict - Chapter 1 - An Excerpt

                     Self-consciously, she got up from her lounger, wrapping a floral-print maroon

 sarong around her bikini-clad svelte figure and padded across to the hotel’s foyer.

                     She was nearly oblivious to the admiring looks that everyone there gave her, as

 she swayed into the elevator and made her way to her room on the fifth floor. She was

 engrossed in thinking whether she should walk into Mahesh’s room on the 6^th floor and

 seduce him. The mood was just right and so was their sexy attire. She stared at her luscious

 curves in the mirror of the elevator and felt elated. God had blessed her indeed. She looked

 like a diva and felt like one too!

         The owner of the store had asked him whether he was buying it for his grand-daughter and whether he’d have liked it gift-wrapped.  Mr. Gonzalves had just said simply “Gift-wrap it please!”

        When Mrs. Gonzalves had opened the package and set eyes on the doll, her eyes brimmed with tears.  She clasped it against her bosom.  Then she wiped her tears and smiled the most beautiful smile that her husband had ever seen.  She looked so beautiful.  Their son and daughter-in-law had gone for a movie.  Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalves played the songs recorded in the doll, over and over again and childishly sang along and danced to its tunes.  They also had an impromptu birthday party for their ‘Baby-doll’.  They couldn’t recollect when they had been so happy in their lifetime. 

        Ronnie and Margaret too loved the doll at first sight.  Somehow that ‘Baby-doll’ as Mr. and Mrs. Gonzalves had christened it, cheered all of them up.  The ‘Baby-doll’ kept singing all her songs again and again, day in and day out. But none of them tired of the routine.

The Spendthrift - Chapter 6 - An Excerpt

                                                                      An Excerpt

         After all that had happened, Gauri’s Mom just didn’t want to leave her daughter all alone in a strange city.  Considering all the trouble that they had taken to get Gauri’s admitted into that prestigious College, she had reversed her earlier decision to cancel her admission. She had decided that she’d stay with Gauri in a rented apartment till she finished her MBA, but felt that she was first morally bound to brief her husband about that incident. She would go to Mumbai with Gauri and return back to search for a rented apartment. The next day, both mother and daughter packed all her belongings and went back to Mumbai. 

            Later that night, she briefed her horrified hubby about the whole sordid episode, but extracted a promise from him that he wouldn’t question Gauri too much about the same.
