Chapter 118 – The First Night
Goa – Beachfront Villa – Same Morning
Bharath’s phone buzzed again on the nightstand. He reached for it, still inside Mirnaa, their bodies slick and slow. He glanced at the screen while keeping his rhythm gentle.
The message was from Vikram. Short. Direct.
Warning: Aadharsh has smelled the double-agent work. He is searching for you. Stay sharp. I am on my way back. Arriving Chennai tomorrow evening. We need to talk.
Bharath read it once. Then twice. No panic crossed his face. He had anticipated this for weeks. Aadharsh was not stupid — he had started sniffing around after the Noida fallout. Bharath had made sure of that. He had planted false trails deliberately: fake hotel bookings in Kochi under his name, burner phone pings from there, even a staged sighting at a Kochi dock. Aadharsh’s men were combing Kerala right now, hundreds of kilometers away. Goa remained clean. Safe. For a few more days.
He set the phone face-down and looked back at Mirnaa. She was watching him, eyes half-lidded from pleasure, but curious.
“Everything okay?”
Bharath smiled. Gentle. Reassuring. He leaned down and kissed her deeply, slowing his thrusts to a lazy rock.
“Just work. Nothing we cannot handle.”
He pulled out slowly, kissed her forehead, then her lips again. His hand slid down her side, cupping her hip.
“Vikram is on his way back. Arriving tomorrow evening. We still have today. And tonight. Let us make them count.”
Mirnaa nodded. Her body relaxed beneath him again. But her mind flickered — tomorrow evening. Three days had become less than two. The promise felt fragile now.
Bharath sensed it. He rolled them so she was on top again. His hands guided her hips, encouraging her to move.
“We will face him together. You and me. We will smile. We will be normal. He does not need to know how deep this went. He forgave us already. He said it himself — he pushed you into this. He will not ask questions if we do not give him reasons.”
Mirnaa swallowed. She started moving again — slow circles — but her voice was hesitant.
“But… how do we act normal after everything? After all these nights? After the way you touch me? After I… after we…”
Bharath lifted her chin gently. Looked into her eyes.
“Because we are adults. Because we both know what this is. A goodbye. A memory. We will keep it locked away. In Chennai we go back to being friends. Colleagues. Nothing more. No touches. No secret glances. We will be careful. For his sake. For yours. For mine.”
He kissed her again. Deeper this time. His hands moved to her breasts, thumbs brushing her nipples.
“And until then… let me love you the way I want. Let me give you everything I have left. So when we leave this place, we both carry something beautiful. Not just guilt.”
Mirnaa’s breath hitched. She nodded slowly.
“Okay.”
She began to rock again. Faster now. Her hips rolling. Breasts bouncing softly. Bharath watched her — eyes dark with hunger. He caught her breasts in his hands, squeezing gently, thumbs teasing the nipples. Mirnaa moaned louder. Her rhythm quickened. She leaned forward, hair falling around them like a curtain. Their faces close. She kissed him hard.
Then deeper. Her movements grew bolder. She rose and fell, taking him fully each time. A low moan escaped her. Bharath stayed still at first — letting her lead — then his hips began to meet hers. Matching her pace. Pushing her higher.
She came again. Shuddering hard. Collapsing forward onto his chest. Breathing ragged.
Bharath held her close. Kissed her temple.
“See? This is what we have. Just for now. Just for these hours.”
Mirnaa whispered against his neck.
“You said you would reduce frequency.”
Bharath laughed softly.
“Yes. I did. But Vikram is coming tomorrow evening. We have today. Tonight. Tomorrow morning maybe. Then we slow down. We have to. For him. For us.”
He rolled them over. Kissed her deeply.
“But right now… let me love you one more time.”
Mirnaa nodded. Eyes shining.
“Okay.”
Goa – Beachfront Villa – Midday
Bharath had decided. He did not want the remaining hours to be only sex-filled. Not anymore. He wanted to build something deeper, something emotional that would linger in Mirnaa’s mind long after they left this place. He wanted her to carry him not just in her body, but in her heart — at least for a little while longer.
He dressed in a simple white linen shirt and shorts. Mirnaa came out of the bedroom in a light blue sundress — the kind that floated around her legs when she walked. She looked fresh, innocent, beautiful. Bharath felt a sharp tug inside his chest. He pushed it down quickly.
“Come. Let us go out.”
Mirnaa smiled, surprised.
“Where?”
“A popular seaside restaurant. Lunch. Then evening shopping at the market. Normal things. Things couples do.”
Mirnaa hesitated for a second. Then nodded.
“Okay.”
They walked hand in hand along the narrow lanes to the restaurant. It sat right on the beach — open on three sides, tables under palm-thatched roofs, waves crashing a few meters away. The waiter recognized Bharath and gave them the best table — corner, private, facing the sea.
They ordered fresh seafood — grilled prawns, fish curry, coconut rice. Bharath fed her the first prawn from his hand. Mirnaa laughed softly, cheeks pink.
“You are feeding me like a child.”
Bharath smiled.
“No. Like someone I care about.”
He leaned closer.
“I want you to remember this. Not just the nights. The days too. The way we laughed. The way we walked together. The way I looked at you like you were the only person in the world.”
Mirnaa looked down at her plate. Her smile faded a little.
“Bharath… we have to stop soon. Vikram is coming tomorrow evening.”
Bharath nodded slowly.
“I know. That is why I want today to be different. Let us fill it with good things. So when you think of Goa, you think of this — not just guilt.”
They talked for a long time. About nothing important. About music they liked. Places they had never been. Dreams they had when they were younger. Bharath listened carefully. He asked questions. He laughed at her stories. He touched her hand across the table — light, companionable touches. Not possessive. Not sexual. Just warm.
Mirnaa relaxed. Her smile returned. Real this time.
Evening – Famous Market Place
The market was alive with color and sound. Stalls lined both sides of the street — handmade jewelry, cotton scarves, wooden carvings, spices, beach dresses. Bharath held her hand the whole time. Fingers laced. Thumbs brushing knuckles. He bought her a silver anklet — simple, delicate. Knelt in the middle of the crowd to put it on her.
“Every step you take in Chennai, you will feel it. You will remember me.”
Mirnaa laughed, embarrassed but pleased.
“You are impossible.”
He bought her a scarf — soft blue, the color of her dress. Wrapped it around her shoulders himself. Then bought a small wooden carving of a couple holding hands.
“For your shelf. So you see us every day.”
He asked her to buy something for Vikram — a leather wallet, simple but elegant.
“Give it to him when he arrives. Tell him you saw it and thought of him. He will like that.”
Mirnaa did. Her innocence, her smile, her smoothness kept torturing him inside. Every time she laughed, every time she leaned against him while looking at something, he felt it — a sharp ache. He told himself silently:
Do not fall for Mirnaa. She is not love. She is just your itch for a few months. The price for the risks.
But the words felt thinner every time he repeated them.
Goa – Beachfront Villa – Night
They returned from dinner late. The villa was quiet except for the distant sound of waves. Bharath did not rush her toward the bedroom. Instead, he took her hand and led her to the living room couch. He sat first, pulled her down beside him, and wrapped his arms around her from behind. His chin rested on her shoulder. His breath was warm against her ear.
“Let us stay like this for a while,” he murmured. “Tomorrow evening we have a flight.”
Mirnaa leaned back against him, confused.
“You said flight by morning. And evening we will reach Chennai.”
Bharath’s arms tightened slightly around her waist.
“The flight has been cancelled due to weather issues.”
It was a lie. He had checked the schedule himself earlier — flights were running normally. But he needed this night. One full, uninterrupted night before Vikram arrived.
Mirnaa frowned, turning her head slightly to look at him.
“Really? Which airline? Let me check—”
Bharath kissed the side of her neck softly, interrupting her.
“Mirnaa… I love you.”
The words were quiet. Simple. But they landed heavy. She stilled in his arms.
He continued, voice low and soft, almost a whisper against her skin.
“See, tomorrow we are going to Chennai. Tonight is our last planned day in Goa. And tonight… I need to remember it. Can you switch off your mobile? Let us love each other. I want you to love me. Forget Vikram. Forget the years. Think we just met new and fell in love.”
He paused. Let the words settle.
“Wear a saree and come. Let us think this is our marriage night.”
Mirnaa blushed deeply. Her cheeks burned. She looked down at her hands, then back at him. Her eyes were wide, uncertain, but something in his gaze — tender, patient, almost pleading — made her nod slowly.
“Okay.”
She stood up. Walked to the bedroom. Bharath waited on the couch, heart steady but mind racing. He had no intention of slowing down forever. But tonight he would play the love game. Slow. Emotional. Overwhelming. Make her feel cherished. Make her crave the memory.
Mirnaa returned ten minutes later. She had chosen a simple red cotton saree — the kind she wore at home in the village years ago. No heavy embroidery. No glamour. Just soft fabric dbangd perfectly around her body. The pallu fell over one shoulder. Her hair was loose, still slightly damp from the shower. She looked innocent. Beautiful. Nervous.
Bharath stood up slowly. Walked to her. Took both her hands in his.
“You look like a bride.”
Mirnaa smiled shyly, eyes dropping.
“I have not worn a saree like this in years.”
He lifted her chin gently.
“Then tonight you are my bride. And I am your husband. No past. No future. Just us. Right now.”
He led her to the bedroom. The lights were low — only the bedside lamps glowing warm. He had already scattered a few rose petals on the bed — simple, not overdone. He sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her between his legs. His hands rested on her hips, thumbs brushing the bare skin above the saree.
“May I?”
Mirnaa nodded.
He began to undress her slowly. First the pallu — he let it fall away. Then the pins holding the pleats. The saree unwound like silk ribbon. He kissed every inch of skin as it was revealed — her collarbone, the curve of her breast, the soft dip of her stomach. When she stood in just her blouse and petticoat, he stood up and removed those too. Gently. Reverently.
She was naked before him. Vulnerable. Trembling slightly.
Bharath undressed himself next. Shirt. Pants. Underwear. He stood bare, hard, but did not rush. He pulled her close. Skin to skin. Held her for a long moment — just hugging. No movement. Just breathing together.
“I love you,” he whispered again. “Tonight you are mine completely. And I am yours.”
He guided her to the bed. Laid her down on her back amid the petals. Climbed over her. Kissed her lips. Slow. Deep. Tongue brushing hers. Then down her neck. Her breasts. He took one nipple into his mouth — gentle suck, soft swirl of tongue. Mirnaa sighed. Her fingers slid into his hair.
He kissed lower. Stomach. Hips. Inner thighs. When he reached her center he licked slowly — long strokes, tasting her. Mirnaa’s hips lifted slightly. A soft moan escaped her. He took his time. Brought her close. Then backed off. Again and again. Until she was trembling, begging quietly.
“Bharath… please…”
He rose up. Positioned himself between her legs. Entered her slowly. Inch by inch. Watching her face the whole time. Mirnaa’s eyes fluttered closed. Her mouth opened in a silent gasp. When he was fully inside he paused. Let her feel him. Let her adjust.
Then he began to move.
Slow. Deep. Every thrust deliberate. He kept his weight on his forearms so he could look at her. Kiss her. Whisper against her lips.
“You are so beautiful.”
“You feel perfect.”
“I have never wanted anyone like this.”
Mirnaa’s hands roamed his back. Her legs wrapped around him. She met his rhythm. Soft moans turned into deeper cries. Pleasure built steadily — not rushed, but overwhelming in its intensity. She came first — a slow, rolling orgasm that made her entire body tremble. She clung to him. Tears slipped from her eyes again — not sadness, but the sheer depth of feeling.
Bharath kept moving through it. Gentle. Loving. Then faster. Harder. He buried his face in her neck. Groaned her name. Came deep inside her with a long shudder.
They stayed joined for a long time. Breathing together. Bodies pressed close.
Bharath kissed her temple.
“Thank you… for tonight. For giving me this.”
Mirnaa whispered back.
“Thank you… for making it feel like love.”
He smiled against her skin.
“Sleep now. We have tomorrow.”
Mirnaa closed her eyes. Safe in his arms. The guilt was still there — quieter tonight. Almost bearable.
Bharath stayed awake a little longer.
Staring at the ceiling. Feeling the weight of her trust.
The warmth of her body. The lie he had just told about the flight.
He told himself again:
She is not love. Just an itch.
But tonight the lie felt almost impossible to believe.

Bharath’s phone buzzed again on the nightstand. He reached for it, still inside Mirnaa, their bodies slick and slow. He glanced at the screen while keeping his rhythm gentle.

“Just work. Nothing we cannot handle.”

“Vikram is on his way back. Arriving tomorrow evening. We still have today. And tonight. Let us make them count.”

“Thank you… for tonight. For giving me this.”

“Sleep now. We have tomorrow.”
Mirnaa closed her eyes. Safe in his arms. The guilt was still there — quieter tonight. Almost bearable.
Bharath stayed awake a little longer.
Staring at the ceiling. Feeling the weight of her trust.
The warmth of her body. The lie he had just told about the flight.
He told himself again:
She is not love. Just an itch.
But tonight the lie felt almost impossible to believe.
