“Dhatri...!” She staggered to her feet, startled.  He stood before her smiling broadly. 

“Finished?” she asked.  He just nodded.

“How many?” he winked.  She looked at him angrily and said...”18,072” Last count... She flashed back  “And that too only this portion...98 per square inch...” she showed half of her head.  and he pulled her braid, laughing his heart out..!

“You are just impossible..” She pursed her lips...!

“Come on... let’s eat something...” he pulled her hand.  They gulped some stuff and coffee and he hurriedly went into the Court Room.  She sat at the back watching him...! His testimony continued.  The company had filed 4389 documents right from Systems Audit, to Layout chart, the electrical map, original and severally revised diagrams of surveillance cameras and access control systems..! The camera which was allegedly installed inside the washroom, though from the same company, was not consigned in the same lot as other 324 camera consignment.  Clearly that was installed later buying it from the open market...!  

One hand-drawn layout map with the signatures of the Security officer’s seal and signature turned the case.   Bil and Ravi were joint owners of the project and Since Bill had not accompanies Ravi on the closure, Ravi had explained the layout and deployment diagram and insisted on physical audit by the Security officer himself and had gotten the approval from the Security Officer.  The Cameras were not installed.  The number of installations and the spare cameras to be deposited, together didn’t match the litigant company’s claim.  There were no installations in any of the restrooms....! 

“Chalo...!” Ravi came and pulled Dhatri up.  The cross examination of the security officer had turned the tables.

“Dhatri walked out behind Ravi...!”

“Where are we going?” she asked and Ravi looked at her happily.

“To celebrate...” he said and squeezed her shoulder.  She grinned back.

“What was that?” she asked feeling elated...!

“Brazilian mahua...” he teased her.  She looked away sheepishly.  He had ordered some exotic drink for her.  She had liked it.  Pungent, fermented smell had given her a kick but she had contained herself... to only Tiger...! Ravi had only coke...! She felt thrilled and excited for no reason, grinning, sniggering, and at the best of her ventriloquism...! she had confused every staff calling out in their manager’s tone and making them run around, obeying the weird orders from him.

“You know? That lady... I mean... San... I mean...” she didn’t know what to call her.. Mom? Mother in law?

“Humm?” he knew whom she was referring to...

“She.. she said you two looked so good together...” she said looking down, feeling a little sad...! He only raised his eyebrow.

“Ummm... I mean... Sa...Samantha and Y..you... “ her stuttering had returned with nervousness.  He didn’t say a word.  She didn’t drag it further.  But somehow her elated mood had disappeared.  He drove back silently and once in the room, caught her from behind.

She turned around pushing him with force.  “Don’t ..!” she moved away from him.  He came to her...!

“you believed her?” he asked.  She hesitated a bit... “No... but you two looked great while dancing..” she confessed, that the thought had crossed her mind.

“And what about us? When we were dancing...?” she looked up at him confused... he smirked and taking out his smartphone.... flashed a picture...of him kissing her...! Her cheeks changed color...!

“Hawwww.... How did you? “ she turned her reddening face and he grabbed the opportunity gathering her in his embrace. 

“Jim’s gift..!” he blew on her pale face giving it a pink shade..! “Hawwww...How mean..” she turned away from him.  But he was not to let her go...!

“Dhaa....” he was moaning kissing her furiously, pressing himself against her.  Her body contorted, muscles tightening... something weird was happening...!

Her hungry gudda seemed strange, unknown....She wriggled to set herself free.  He just pulled her closer making his moves to remove all the hurdles between them... She lost her voice... her thrusty throat chocked... catch in her throat strangulated her...

“Umm...!” she groaned in pain when he mounted himself against her... ! He was turned on, Intoxicated by her struggle..! The riot of aggressive emotions were overwhelming... he was making his way to imprint his mark... Claim his ownership...!

“Oh! Dhatri...” he groaned thrusting and she went numb.... she was thrown in the dark, deadly, bottomless well... sliding faster... she had lost her voice... no one to pull her out... that Bad Minister was raising his hand.. pulling her between his legs... the red blue flashing lights were screaming her name... she was crying... someone was turning her insides out... she was helpless... unable to speak... she was being stabbed....

“No...No...!” she groaned in pain... and the next moment the room filled with her screeching screams...!

“Damn!” he immediately pulled himself away... she was screaming her breath out...!

“Dhatri...Dhatri...” he tried to pull her up... she gave a forceful frantic kick in his chest throwing him off guard and jumped out of the bed.  The next moment he heard the bathroom door bang closed.

“Dhatri... are you ok?” he tapped on the door.

“Go away...” he heard her shrill scream...!

“Are you ok? Did I hurt you? Dhaa...” he was panting with shallow breath...

“Just go away...” she screamed her lungs out...! and he staggered back.  Dressing himself up hurriedly he came back to the door...

“Ok...!” he gave up.  He heard nothing from inside....He waited pressing his ear to the bathroom door.

“Dhaa...” he called out in panic.

“Go away...!” she yelled .... he could hear her sobs and groans...! He had hurt her beyond repair... she was in pain... he couldn’t do anything but wait outside worrying for her....!

“What did I do? Did I hurt her? Is she ok? How can I reach her...?” he didn’t know.  Helplessly he waited leaning against the bathroom door.  The door didn’t open.

“Dhatri..” he called out worriedly.

“No! Go away...” she yelled from inside and he yelled back in frustration..

“Yeah.. ok! I am going...!” he went out of the room closing the door behind.  He walked into the corridors, down in lounge and sat there burying his fingers in his hair.  His head spinning in shock...!

“What did I do to her..?” he was just puzzled.  He had had sex before, and never had expected this reaction for his indulgence....! 

“What the hell did I do....?” he got up with a jerk...!

“Damn... I felt she was responding...” he was damn sure that she was responding.  This was not his first time...! But that was her first time... 

“Damn...!” The tightness made him  explode in frustration.  Mere thought of her in his arms had turned him on again... and again...! The intoxication had taken over his senses.

“Damn you Dhatri...! Why didn’t you tell me you have a problem...!” he threw the magazine in frustration...!

“How may I help you sir?” a polite Stewart came over.

“Nothing...” he brushed him aside and sagged into the couch.  All the happiness of his testimony getting over satisfactorily went down the drain... the magical dinner with her caught fire in his heart...! He closed his eyes settling himself on the couch.  There was no point knocking her door...!
