"I spy you!" - 65

“Are you planning to stay in this jungle?” Pushpahaasa asked with a tinge of laughter in his voice. Vasupradha hurriedly got into the bus. Pushpahaasa walked in and Vasupradha followed him. The driver applied brakes suddenly and Vasupradha swayed and was about to fall down. But a pair of steel arms which she knew too well steadied her. She had no choice but to fall on his chest. She felt heavenly. But the next moment she found to her dismay that the other passenger in her double bed is Pushpahaasa himself!

He seemed to have understood her plight and let her sleep on the window side and he slept on the aisle side. She could not trust herself to be restraint in front of him. The tension in her was quite crackling. She was hoping against hope that she would not put her arm round his neck or on his chest!

Thankfully Purshpahaasa sorted out that problem in a simple way. He placed their luggage  between them. She could not even see him in total except for his face. The small light ray from the space between the two curtains was falling on his most good looking face. She must have fallen asleep only for a few minutes.

She heard him calling her name. The name sounded so sexy in his voice. ‘Hey Vasupradha! You are obsessed with him. That is why whatever he does sounds good for you. Oh, poor girl!’ teased her conscience.

She got up and sat now. The bus which had slowed down, now completely stopped.

Both of them got down the bus as the other passengers did. But it seemed their journey was not yet over. They were asked to wait for another bus which would take them to the destination city. After what seemed an eternity, the replacement bus came. They again went into the bus. As it was daylight no one went to sleep. Both Pushpahaasa and Vasupradha sat on the bed with their backs to the partition between the beds and legs stretched.

‘Why this man is coming with me? That too he joined somewhere in the midway. What is happening?’ she thought and stole a glance towards him. He was lost to the world. Must have been quite some time since he slept deeply. A smile danced on Vasupradha’s lips. He was getting cramped because he was quite tall for the stretch of the bed. She felt blood rush through her body. Oh God! This man is too good looking. Why is he coming in my life again? I was hoping that I would never see him again.  Whenever I see him I get the idea of having him for myself forever!

She was so muddled with her thinking that she lost the track of time. Again it was Pushpahaasa who woke her up.

“Did you I wake you up from your sweet dreams?” he asked in a very mild tone which almost caressed her.

She shook her head so wildly that she got hit by the rod which was behind their head.

He immediately pulled her towards him gently and rubbed the portion where she hit her head. Oh God, please don’t give me these things temporarily and pull them out from me! Her crazy mind was praying.

He stopped rubbing only after getting her assurance that nothing was wrong with her head.

She now wanted to know whether he knew the address she wanted to go. She was wondering who is going to be her mate in this charade? What was the result they are looking for?
