Romance Shadows of Deceit and unspoken love
#9
Priya was surprised to see Kajol still sleeping at 8 a.m. Kajol's routine usually began with a morning yoga session after waking up early, except on Sundays.
"Hey, what happened to you? Are you not feeling well?" Priya asked, shaking Kajol to wake her up.

"What time is it?" Kajol mumbled.

"It's 8:30 a.m. You were talking about doing extra work during your vacation," Priya reminded her.
Kajol felt embarrassed as she noticed Priya standing there. She stayed under the blanket, trying to hide her semi-naked state.
I woke up early but felt a headache, so I went back to sleep," Kajol explained. She wondered if Priya had caught onto her lie, judging by the way Priya stared intently at her face.
Priya nodded mockingly. "A headache, huh? That means things are starting to get serious," she teased. "Isn't it about time to say 'tata, goodbye' to Sachin?" Priya asked with a playful smirk.

Priya, don’t get naughty. You don’t have any other things in your head? What did Sachin does to make you this much angry on him? Kajol asked.
Nothing. I'm just totally jealous of him for getting what he doesn't deserve. Sometimes, I don't like the way he assumes authority over you—that's an added problem," Priya admitted. When Priya made her statement, Kajol didn't feel the need to counter her aggressively because, deep down, she didn't think Priya was entirely wrong.

"Tell me, what's the status between you and Tarun? Has the playboy won over his next girl?" Priya asked with a sly grin.
Kajol felt a twinge of hurt when Priya's statement implied that her relationship was solely about sex.
"Priya, have you had breakfast?" Kajol asked, trying to change the subject.
"I had some bread. Let me get going before the traffic gets worse," Priya replied, heading toward the door.
Just before closing it, she turned back to Kajol with a smirk and said, "Enjoy."

Kajol felt a wave of embarrassment. It was her first time encountering such a situation in her life.

She considered messaging Tarun but hesitated, torn between uncertainty about the path she was heading down. However, she couldn't resist replying with a morning greeting after seeing his cheerful message.

How was your sleep last night, with me between your legs?" Tarun's cheeky message read.
Kajol wondered how he could be so sure she had been keeping pillows between her legs. However, she chose not to acknowledge his statement directly.
"It was wonderful, but it wasn’t you—it was Sachin," Kajol replied.
"Ouch! That hurts," Tarun responded.
"Find someone better for yourself," Kajol replied with a smile.
"I already have, but she seems to enjoy chasing things that never excite her," Tarun shot back.
Kajol had no doubt that Tarun understood her well, but at that moment, she wasn’t sure which direction her mood was leaning.
I am excited, don’t be so judgmental," Kajol replied with mock anger.

When she didn’t receive a response from him, nervousness started creeping in. She dialed his phone, but the line was busy. Shortly after, she received a call back.

Hey buddy, sorry for keeping your reply pending. I’ll respond after I return from an urgent meeting. I had to leave in a hurry," Tarun explained.

Kajol felt a sense of longing when the conversation ended so abruptly, especially since she had been thoroughly enjoying talking with him.
The office work kept her mind off Tarun, but she hurried to complete her tasks. A part of her was determined to ensure that no pending work could hinder her plans to travel with Tarun, if everything fell into place.

Kajol answered Sachin's call casually, and once the conversation started flowing naturally, she shared about her dull routine during the holidays and her plans to overcome the challenges. She intentionally steered the conversation, waiting for Sachin to get comfortable, before bringing up the topic of her travel.

Kajol, how about a trip to Goa?" Sachin asked. His suggestion caught her off guard, leaving her momentarily speechless, with no words coming out of her mouth. Regaining her composure, she decided to support Sachin's idea, curious to understand what was on his mind.

Sachin said, "Kajol, I’m coming to a place near your city for a work-related activity on Tuesday. Once that’s done, I’ll be free until Sunday. I’ve been longing for a change, and I’m planning to come to your place and pick you up to go somewhere—but I hesitated to interrupt your work. I’m relieved to hear that you’re also planning an adventure; it feels like everything is falling into place. So, here’s the plan: I’ll come to your place on Wednesday, and from there, we’ll head to Goa. I’ll book the train tickets. Pack your bags, Kajol—it’s time for us to escape the monotony and embrace the freedom of the road together.
Kajol, you have no idea how much time has passed since our last meeting. It feels like a lifetime, and those moments we shared are so deeply personal to me. Honestly, I’ve been carrying a mountain of frustration, grappling with thoughts that won’t let me rest. But amidst all the chaos, I’m living with the hope that everything will be okay in the future—that we’ll find our way back to the happiness we deserve."

Kajol was shocked and became speechless after hearing his conversation. She didn’t know how to respond—whether to agree or not. What if Tarun found out?
The emotions tortured Kajol like a relentless storm, consuming her with an intensity she had never known before. It was as though she had been thrust into a labyrinth of confusion, with no clear path to follow. This was her first experience standing at such a pivotal crossroads, where every choice seemed to hold the power to reshape her life.

"Is it time to decide my future?" she thought, her mind a whirl of uncertainty and longing. The weight of the moment pressed down on her, challenging her to confront the dreams she had tucked away for so long. "Is it time to make a decision that will truly make me happy?"

The questions circled her like restless shadows, refusing to grant her any solace. Doubts clashed with hope, and fear waged war against desire. Kajol felt trapped in the chaos of her thoughts, wondering if she had the courage to break free—or if she would let the questions haunt her forever.
When Kajol closed her eyes and thought about both men, her heart naturally drifted to the warm memories she shared with Sachin, reaffirming her feelings for him. At the same time, her mind gave equal weight to her cherished friendship with Tarun, leaving her torn between the two.
Deep down, Kajol realized that now might not be the best time to decide her future life partner. Life still held so many opportunities and paths for her to explore, and there was no need to push someone away to love another. What she truly needed was clarity—a vision of what she wanted for herself, for her happiness, and for her future.

Determined to keep her focus on her career and let go of unnecessary tensions, she reflected on her feelings. Marriage was a distant thought, but she couldn’t deny that she was still in love with Sachin and that her emotions gravitated toward him. On the other hand, her friendship with Tarun felt like a rare gem, the kind she had been searching for all her life—a friend who truly understood her.

Kajol resolved not to lose either of them, as they both held significant places in her heart. Her decision was clear: to be honest and transparent about her friendship with Tarun when speaking to Sachin. Whatever Sachin decided to do in response would be his choice, but Kajol knew she couldn't let worry about his decisions cloud her mind. She took a strong stance, vowing to live without unnecessary tension and to embrace what life had to offer, one step at a time.

Sachin, in that case, I need to discuss this with my friends Priya and Tarun," Kajol said.
With a curious tone, Sachin asked, "Who is this new friend of yours Tarun? Tell me, what do you want to discuss with them?
Kajol didn’t like his questioning way of asking, but she ignored it.
Tarun is a friend of Priya, and that’s how we met and became friends. When I mentioned being bored, they planned a trip to Goa. However, since Priya's leave wasn’t confirmed, the plan didn’t materialize. I don’t think it’s fair to go to Goa without informing them. If they can’t come, we’ll find another destination or activity. Traveling by train would mean missing all the good places along the route. If they decide to join us, we can go in Tarun’s car.
What do you think?

Now the silence shifted from Kajol to Sachin.

Kajol, I thought that we will get some private time together. Sachin said.
Sachin, they are also important to me in life. It's better not to decide how much time should be spent with each person.
"Can I ask you a question?" Sachin paused for a moment before asking.
"Ask me, Sachin," she said, her voice steady, though hesitant.
Are you having the same love towards me like before? He asked.
"Ask me the question with a detailed explanation. I don’t want to respond to half-cooked questions," Kajol said firmly.
"I feel like you’re avoiding me. You’re not showing any interest in spending time with me," Sachin said, his tone filled with concern.
"Sachin, I believed you had some understanding and consideration for me. After everything I have been through, and with life finally returning to normal, don't you feel happy?" Kajol replied, her voice calm yet firm.
Sachin remains silent.
Answering your question—my focus is on my studies and career at the moment. I don’t want to bring any tensions in between. If I didn’t love you, do you think we would still be talking now?" Kajol said firmly.
Sachin was taken aback by the tone of her response and decided not to pursue the topic further.
Kajol, I didn’t mean it the way you’re responding. I’m so happy to see you as your old self—full of energy. Please discuss with them and get back to me. I’d also be happy to spend time with your friends.

Did you behave little rude? Kajol asked herself after call got disconnected. Fuck Kajol, you are again returning to confused mind.
Kajol was a little nervous when she discussed it with Priya.

"You bloody bitch, planning a direct threesome in the first place?" Priya asked.
"Just shut up. Tell me your opinion—should I ask Tarun?" Kajol snapped.
As far as I know, Tarun wouldn’t mind. He’s a crazy driver and an adventurous explorer, and I’m sure the trip will be wonderful with him. He’d probably be even happier than you. "Should I also plan to join you?" Priya asked.
Suddenly, Kajol’s thoughts took a turn: if Priya comes, Tarun and Priya might become a couple and even share the same room. That shouldn’t happen.
"You’re trying to disrupt my plan for a threesome?" Kajol asked playfully.
"Okay, I get it. You don’t intend to include me. No issues. Enjoy your trip," Priya replied with a mischievous smile.

Kajol was a little nervous as she told Tarun about the incident. She shared the idea of traveling together with both Tarun and Sachin, carefully planning every detail.

"It would be great to have your company!" Tarun exclaimed.

Kajol felt relieved from the pressure caused by her curiosity about Tarun's reaction. The way he accommodated her was deeply comforting and added another layer of respect and love she felt for him. She informed Sachin about Tarun's company, carefully leaving little room for him to question her about Priya.

When the day arrived, Kajol was thrilled. She wore jeans and a top that perfectly highlighted the contours of her body.
