Romance With A Stranger

Episode 17

The love I have for you is bigger than anything.”

They embraced and consoled each other for hours.

“Okay tell me something,”Sanjana started swallowing down her ice cream. She was feeling better now.

“Yes ask me.”

“I have noticed that recently you have been spending your nights out and when you come home,you will be in new clothes. Like for instance right now. I know you don’t known any Louis Vuitton white shirt for men nor do you own a Jeep. Who is he? I know for sure it can’t be Arnav because you hate dad’s choice.”

“Arnav? You won’t believe that he stood me up the other time. I won’t ever forgive him.”

“Of course, you’re good at holding grudges,”she smiled at her. “Now don’t divert the topic. Tell me who is he?”

Sanyukta smiled shyly.” Sanju,I think I am in love. He is all I think about when my mind isn’t occupied. He is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with,build a family with him and grow old with him,”she chuckled. “Crazy but it’s true. I don’t want to be with anyone but him. Remember this ring,”she showed her hand and her sister nodded. “It was given by him since then it has been stuck with me. It has refused to come off no matter what we tried. I guess it’s a sign that him and I are meant to be.”

“We were so drunk when we first met. He was heart broken and I was frustrated because of dad. We talked for a while. Expressed our emotions to each other,the he gave it to me. I kisses a guy for the first time that night.”

“What!” Sanjana gasp with a smile. “You’re playing with me right?”

She shook her head into no,with returning her sister’s smile. “No,I am not. We kissed and it went to a whole new level.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“He took me over to his place. God,you should see where he lives Sanju. I initially thought it was a guest house. He took me over and there I willingly gave myself to him. I gave him,my body,my soul,my mind and my spirit.”

“OMG! Sanyu! I’m so happy for you love!” She hugged her. “My little sister is no more a virgin nor innocent! I can’t believe this!”

“You’re crazy. Instead of slapping me, you’re embracing me and praising me for a evil deeds.”

“Yes it might be a sin but doing it with the right person it’s fine. As long as you are at peace with yourself, you are okay.”

“We didn’t do it once Sanju nor twice. I trusted him with my body even when he was just a stranger,”she giggled when she saw the funny expression on her sister’s face. “Yes Sanju, I love him to do it with him numerous times. You won’t believe it when I tell you that I never hoped to see him again. Remember my chemistry lecturer?”

“Yes,the one who gave you wrong equations to solve?”

“Yes. He and him are the same person.”

“What!” Sanjana laughed.

“Hey don’t laugh yah,”Sanyukta nudged her side.

“Sorry but what did you do when you found out?”

“I ran away,”she replied. “I was shocked. He was a one night stand and I hoped to never see him again but there he was standing in front of my class as a substitute lecturer for Mr. P. K Singh. I ran for my life but no matter where I ran to he was always there to catch me. It’s like I can’t ever run away from him. Fate always bring us back together.”

“Sanyu,I am very happy that you have found your true love but dad,”Sanju stated. “Do you know what he will do once he finds out you have being seeing someone behind his back?”

“Yes,”she replied darkly. “He will do to me the same he did with you. He will force me to leave college and get married to a man of his choice.”

“But don’t let him do that to you Sanyu. Fight for your love. Fight for the both of you and you have all my support.”

“I know. I love you Sanju.”

“I love you too Sanyu.”

They shared a hug.
