Chapter 26
Anvita
Even though Prithvi did not show up for a few days after their differences, Anvita was sure he would try to mend with her, sooner or later. She knew he had some special liking toward her. However, she later feared that her snub at the movies might have repulsed him. She had no plan to reach him and fix things either. She had no intention to prove him what Atul was to her. She hoped Prithvi learned it by himself.
After three weeks, however, he showed up and apologised.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. It was my mistake."
"Why did you take so long?"
He held forward the flowers he was hiding behind him.
"Please accept this."
Anvita stood and stared at him for a few seconds. Slowly her eyes descended to the flowers. Her eyes widened.
"What’s this? Is it a proposal?"
"Tell me I am still your friend. And if I happen to commit any mistake with you, you will scold me, you will punish me, but you will never say ‘don't ever talk to me’. Accept this, please."
Anvita accepted the flowers.
"Okay. I accept. But when I punish you, it will be tough."
She warned.
They had coffee in a cafe. She thought he would ask about Atul. But he never did.
When Atul came home he noticed the flowers.
"Whose gift is this?"
Anvita smiled, "How do you know it was gifted?"
She asked. He was clueless.
"You mean you bought this?"
Anvita laughed, "I was kidding dear. It was gifted."
"Friend...or student?"
"It is a gift from a student."
"For what?"
Atul was serious.
"For what?"
Anvita shrugged. “He’s from the previous batch. He said he missed our teaching sessions."
Atul grabbed the flowers and smelled it.
"But it has a different smell."
"Really? Is it damaged?"
"Not that, dear. I think he likes you too much."
"Yeah, he does. He was very sad when his batch ended."
"You should invite him for tea. He knows you are married, doesn’t he?"
"Of course, he knows. He has asked me many times to introduce him to you."
"Do you see him often?"
Atul asked, pretending to be careless.
"Not so often. Before today it was like a month ago."
"Next time ask him to visit us for a coffee. On a holiday. Such students must be appreciated."
Anvita was pleased with how positively Atul took the gift. She though felt she should have told him the whole story. But it was too late to open up now.
A day after, Prithvi asked her out to watch a film. Anvita politely turned him down, saying Atul would not agree.
Next day Anvita got a call from Shreyas.
"I was wondering to whom I should break the news first. You or Atul?"
"Atul is right there in your office. Still, you rang me up. You have already made up your mind, Shreyas."
Shreyas laughed a little.
"It’s good news. Whoever receives it must offer me a very personal treat."
"Then it has to be me. I owe you one already. Tell me the news."
"I have a very good job for you. I know the guys there, so you consider yourself selected."
When Atul heard the news in the evening he wondered why Shreyas did not tell him.
"Your boss likes me. You know that?"
Anvita declared.
"What! Really?"
"But he is very bad in talking to ladies."
Anvita said carefully.
Atul laughed.
"It is no secret in the office. There are stories when he pissed in his pants."
That is outrageously exaggerated. Anvita was sure.
The job at Teckpo Int. was not designed for a beginner like Anvita. But Shreyas's recommendation did it for her. All she needed to do was a private interview. It was more like a briefing.
"Anvita, we understand that you are a beginner and you would find it a bit tough in the beginning. But Shreyas has seen some potential in you and we are exactly after that. We hope you’ll prove your worth and turn to transform yourself into a reliable member of our team. Do you understand?"
Her boss Shashank was calm and mature. His briefing was often focused on the future.
"For a few weeks, you’ll be working with Bobby."
Anvita shook her head.
"Thank you, sir."
The office of Teckpo Int. was more than forty kilometres towards the north of the city. It meant no random meeting with Prithvi. When he heard of her new job, he was expectedly disappointed though he did not show it.
"That’s great. Isn’t it?"
"I have told Atul about you. He is keen to meet you."
"Me? why?"
"He wants to know his wife’s follower; who's giving gifts to her."
"How does he know I am following you?"
"I told him. And your present is evidence."
Anvita was trying to tease him.
"Will he beat me up when he sees me? He's got a strong body."
Anvita was surprised.
"You've seen him? When?"
"I've seen him once. He had come to the Institute for you. And you guys went to Jazz."
"Jazz?"
"Jazz the pub; don't you remember?"
Jazz the pub. It was the pub Varun had taken her to meet Radhika. Now Anvita understood why Prithvi refused to believe that Atul was her husband.
"But...but how did you know it was my husband?"
"He was wearing the shirt we selected for him."
Prithvi's eyes shone. Anvita couldn't stop laughing. That shirt!
"What's so funny?"
Prithvi wondered. Anvita shook her head.
"Okay; now I understand how big a fool I was to lie about him!" Anvita said. She was thrilled about seeing Prithvi's face if he learnt the truth. "Well, I suggest you keep some distance from him. He may not be happy with your gift to his wife."
"I know you are joking!"
He laughed.
"So when are you quitting the institute?"
"This weekend. Two more days."
"From next week we won't be able to see often. Maybe never. Right?"
Anvita knew he was right. The office of Teckpo was on the other side of the city. She wouldn't be coming this side of the city any more.
"Can we go for a movie this weekend?"
He asked. Anvita stared at him.
"You can ask your hubby."
He added.
"You think he will allow that?"
"Then tell him your institute is giving you a party on Saturday."
"Do you want me to lie?"
"I want you to come with me. It's the last chance I have got to spend time with you."
Anvita was not sure if she could fulfil his wish. She though had decided to invite him for lunch at home one day. He'll be dead with surprise.
Prithvi promised he would visit her one day.
Friday Atul telephoned her from the office and asked her to get ready for dinner outside.
When he came home, she was ready wearing a magnificent dress kurta. Atul watched her with a smile.
"Wow, you have beautiful legs!"
"Only legs?"
"Obviously not only legs but your dress is definitely turning my attention towards your legs. You look absolutely fantabulous. It’s too cliché to praise your beauty now."
He took shower and got ready before the cab arrived. When he told the driver the place, Anvita looked at him.
"Which restaurant is there?"
"It’s not a restaurant, baby. It’s Radhika's flat."
It turned out Radhika and Varun had invited them for dinner at former's flat. Atul had kept it a surprise for her.
When they reached the place, Anvita’s smile faded as she saw Varun.
"Welcome, Anvita."
Radhika hugged her and brushed her cheek against Anvita. Radhika was in awe of Anvita and she showered her with compliments. Anvita ignored Varun’s welcome.
It was a standard two-bedroom flat that Radhika rented together with another girl named Komal. Komal had gone to her hometown for the weekend. Varun had suggested a nice restaurant for dinner but Radhika was adamant that they dined at home. She confessed to Anvita that she wanted to replicate the arrangements made by Anvita at her home. However, they weren't even close. The food was ordered from outside.
Atul was a little embarrassed to face Radhika. But she was very cheerful and helped Atul move on easily.
Everyone was soon engaged in a fun chat. They cracked jokes and emptied drinks after drinks. Anvita and Radhika chose to drink vodka. Varun mixed a cocktail for Radhika and it backfired. She passed out and Varun ended up helping her to the bedroom.
"I doubt if he’s gonna come back at all."
Anvita mentioned.
"Why?"
"See what happens."
She said, eyes toward the room. However, Varun returned soon after.
For the whole night, Anvita was not going to entertain Varun's friendliness. If she was subtle in expressing it in the presence of Radhika, she turned downright hostile from the moment Radhika passed out. Anvita even spent a moment to think about how Prithvi had misconstrued Varun as her husband, only to hate him further.
In the middle of it all, she scolded him for not straightaway rejecting others' claims that she was his girlfriend.
"You never proposed me, let alone me considering it. You have no right to call me your ex."
That's when he threw a grenade.
"Fact is that I never cared to propose you because I knew you were interested in your professor!"
"What the fuck!"
Anvita's voice rose. She couldn't believe he said it.
It was indeed breaking news for Atul.
"What?" He asked.
"His name is Manhas. You forgot?"
Varun smirked. And Anvita declared war with him for his statement.
"Don't deny it yet," Varun said confidently. "I can prove it. I can prove you had hots for him."
"Really? Then go ahead. Prove it."
"What if I did prove it?"
"Go ahead. Prove it."
"What if I did?"
"I will do whatever you say."
"If I proved it, you will give me a hand job, right now, in front of Atul your dear husband."
He challenged.
Atul froze. But Anvita was unpretentiously unfazed at his demand.
"I give you my word, you moron! But if I am right, and I proved you wrong, you will sit here and watch while I give my dear husband a blowjob and you'll hold your thing in your hand like a prick. You understand?"
Atul's facial expression revealed how surprised he was to hear the words from his verbally conservative wife.
"Is that really needed, Anvi?"
He expressed his doubt.
Anvita looked at him.
"Yes. I need to teach this moron a lesson about himself. He’s a loser."
She grinned at Varun when she said the last word.
Varun accepted. He was perhaps dreaming of something already. Anvita knew. And she was unshaken.
"I’ll start by asking your friends," Varun said. Anvita gave him her friend Namita’s phone number.
He called her and asked her about it. His phone was put on speaker.
"Manhas sir used to favour Anvita and I know she always took advantage of it. Not because she needed his favour, but because everyone feared him. Honestly I was really scared of him and I don't know how Anvita cracked him. It could help her focus in her study as no one else would disturb her. And Anvita succeeded in that. She was not troubled seriously by anyone throughout the course."
Namita said. Varun ended the call and shook his head in disagreement.
"She's a loyal friend of you. That's why she’s hiding it."
He argued.
He called a couple of friends more and none of them gave him a reply that he wanted to hear. And Anvita did not let him call his friends.
"They will lie. They will say anything but the truth."
Anvita said.
"You lost, loser."
Anvita pushed him down to the couch.
Finally, Varun accepted his defeat.
"Okay. You win."
He held his hands up in surrender. Anvita returned to her seat.
"Okay now, don't sit there. Go to Atul; give him what you promised him."
Varun said.
"I will give it later. It’s my choice." She said.
Varun sat up now.
"No. That wasn’t the deal. You said now, while I watched. A promise is a promise."
"You're a loser. I have no regret to break a promise with you. No way!" Anvita responded.
"Come on! Have some guts first and then talk about who's the loser!" Varun teased her and turned to Atul. "She promised it. A deal is a deal. You agree with me, don't you?"
Anvita looked at her husband and he smiled.
"I was wondering it's the drink that got you gutsy. But I think you ain't got that high yet. You need to drink a little more."
Varun snapped, "See! He said it, Anvita! He meant you have no guts to keep your words and okay, you don't have to do anything. You were just blabbering like a stupid child, you didn't mean anything worth caring for. Let's finish this drinks and wind up."
Anvita had her eyes fixed at Atul for a long moment. He shrugged. 'What did I do?'
"Okay, then!" Anvita took a long breath and nodded many times, on her own. You banged your girlfriend in my bed; now I'm gonna get it even. I'm gonna please my husband in your couch.
"You men win," Anvita declared. "Let's see who's gonna stand tall." She got to her feet and knelt in front of Atul, right between his knees. "I have no problem to put you in your place!" She looked at Varun, as her hands reached up to Atul's pants and begin to undo his zip.
Varun was staring at her, as he forgot to respond to her sudden reaction. That's all you can do, loser! Anvita suddenly felt thrilled at what she was going to do.
"Stop staring at me like that; you really look pathetic. And if I remember, you're supposed to do something when I'm doing this!"
Anvita said. She pushed her hand inside Atul's pants and touched him; he was hard and ready, and Anvita stole a glance at his face. His eyes were fixed on her and they told her how astonished he was. Anvita grinned and slowly pulled down the top edge of his Jockey.
"Do you mind?" She whispered but waited for nothing as she slowly caressed around his crotch with her left hand while she allowed her right-hand slip inside and wrap around his pole. Then she turned her face to Varun.
"Don't freak out, now. Pull it out, pull it out!"
And she watched as Varun swallowed and then slowly pulled his semi hard penis out of his pants. Anvita didn't want to look at it. However, she saw it the moment he held it out and her eyes stayed a bit longer on it than she intended. She saw the confident grin on Varun's face and she hated him even more.
Anvita quickly turned to Atul and pulled out his hard member. Her casual touches had turned it harder and its tip was already oozing precum. When she finally opened her lips and sucked him, Atul could not help but let out a moan.
