CHAPTER 19- HAPPY ANNIVERSARY (MATURE)

Umaira had requested her roommates to leave the room and adjust in their friend's room. Her friends grinned and left smirking, winking and nudging her. Umaira blushed.


It's been one year since they were in a relationship, tonight is there first anniversary. Umaira wanted to make it special. From past few months, Mehran had been excited to take their relationship to the next level but Umaira always felt nervous and kept delaying, much to his annoyance.


But not tonight, tonight Umaira decided to push back her nervousness and make this night, their first anniversary night special and memorable. After her friends left, she quickly took a shower and wore a noodle strapped black lacy and peach satin mid-thigh length night gown and tied a peach robe over it. She didn't dry her hair, she let water drip from her hair wetting her right shoulder where she had rested her hair. She then joined two beds, one of her friend who has her bed adjacent to hers. She then lit the entire room with lavender and rose candles. She blushed as she prepared the room.


Mehran sneaked into the girl's hostel. Suman, Umaira's roommate had called him telling him that Umaira fell from stairs in the hostel and is hurt. She is now resting in the room. Mehran panicked and rushed to the room. Out of fear his heart pounded rapidly inside his chest. He knocked at the window of her room. He noticed the window was slightly open. He opened it and his eyes widened on seeing the dimly lit room. He climbed inside and is stunned.


'Liked it?' he heard a soft voice and turned around. His jaw dropped looking at her. She had always looked beautiful, but tonight she is looking sexy. He saw water dripping from her hair, her long slender legs exposed to him for the first time. The sight, turning him on, terribly.


Umaira glanced at the clock, it is going to be 12 in few seconds. Slowly, she walked towards him and placed her palms on his shoulder.


'Happy Anniversary, darling.' She whispered. Mehran turned his head towards the clock. It's 12am, then it hit him, its 15th January, they have completed one year of togetherness. He looked at her and smiled, looking into her eyes.


'Happy Anniversary, love.' he caressed her cheek with back of his fingers, Umaira closed her eyes feeling the hair on the back of her neck rise. Mehran leaned forward and kissed her forehead, her nose, cheek, jaw and then buried his head into the crook of her neck. Umaira held his nape with one hand and the other hand resting on his arm. She gasped softly, tilting her head little giving him more space to kiss her neck.


They broke apart, Umaira extended her hand and held his. She led him to a table where a small pineapple cake is placed with one 1 candle resting in the centre.


HAPPY ANIVERSARY written on it. Mehran smiled.


'Awesome.' He complimented.


Together they cut the cake, singing "happy anniversary" in whispers. They fed each other cake. Mehran watched Umaira lick cream off her fingers, his eyes turning dark. Umaira froze feeling his finger on her lips, he wiped the cream off the corner of her lower-lip. She blushed as he licked the cream off his finger. Mehran took a step closer, looking at her lovingly. Umaira found it impossible to look up at him. He held her hand and slowly slid his palm up to the length of her arms. Umaira shivered feeling goose-bumps, her heart fluttering. She took a step closer as his palms rested on her shoulder. Mehran held her face in his palms and leaned forward. Umaira smiled shyly feeling his breath fan her lips. She closed her eyes as his lips brushed hers. They kissed softly and passionately. Slowly, their kiss turned quick and more passionate.


Umaira trembled feeling his palm on her hips moving towards the knot. She held his nape and deepened the kiss hiding her nervousness as he slowly untied the knot. With their lips still locked Mehran shrugged the robe off her shoulder. He broke the kiss and took a step back admiring her.


Umaira felt shy, the dress was too short plus it had deep V-neck exposing more cleavage than she was comfortable with. Out of shyness, she tried covering her chest with her hair. Mehran held her hand. She looked up into his eyes. She quickly looked away seeing love, desire, and tinge of lust in them. She felt butterflies and more nervous.


'I love you.' Mehran said and kissed her forehead. She relaxed.


'I love you too.' She said feeling breathless. Mehran kissed her cheek and looked at her for a brief time before scooping her in his arms. Umaira's cheek turned brick red. Struggling with her shyness she slowly looked up, their gaze getting locked. He placed her on the bed and sat beside her. She smiled and lay down, their gaze locked throughout. She stretched out her arms and gestured him to come closer. Mehran smiled and leaned in. He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes. He held her hand entwining their fingers, he pinned her one hand to the bed, her other hand around his waist and his other palm held her nape. They began kissing deeply and passionately. He left her nape and touched her, feeling her every curve. She moaned into the kiss, turning him on further.


'Mehran!' Umaira interrupted nervously as he slid his palm underneath her night gown.


'Shh...' he said gently, his hand resting on her inner thigh. Umaira squeezed her eyes shut and grabbed a fistful of bedsheet.


'Relax, love' he said and kissed her lips softly. She relaxed.


Mehran sat up straight. Umaira watched him place his fingers under the helm of his Tee and pulling it over his head.


'See, I have removed my Tee first. Now, relax.' he said trying to make her comfortable. Umaira doesn't respond, instead she kept roaming her eyes all over his upper body. This is the time she is seeing his well-toned body. Perfect four Pac, well chiselled broad chest, it looked like he has recently shaved his chest hair.


Mehran smirked 'Liked it?' Umaira nodded still staring. He held her palm and make her touch him. She gasped. Mehran loved the touched of her soft cold fingers on his body.


'Your turn.' He said and Umaira snapped out from her trance. She smiled shyly pulling off her night gown, she closed her eyes. Mehran stared at her lacy and sexy pink and black lingerie.


'This damn thing is stuck.' Mehran struggled with the hooks of her bra. Umaira giggled. He frowned at her feeling annoyed. Unable to control he tugged the hooks harshly it almost tore. Umaira gasped. Both their hearts pounded rapidly inside their chests as he slowly removes her bra. He dropped it down at the edge of the bed. Umaira squeezed her eyes feeling cold air hit her chest. Mehran blinked for few seconds before staring at her breasts, a little drool escaped from corner of his mouth. Umaira shivered, with excitement and nervousness as he lay her on the bed.


'Beautiful.' He complimented and Umaira relaxed. She grabbed the bedsheet again as he placed his palms over her breasts gently squeezing them.


She clenched his back tightly, her body arching as he sucked on one of her breasts. His palm gently massaging the other one. She moaned.


She trembled under him as he kissed and explored her body, gently and slowly. She held his back, feeling breathless, their heart beat three times faster than normal.


'Mehran...I am scared.' Umaira interrupted as he tugged her lower inner. She placed her palm over his. Mehran smiled


'Okay, we can stop if you want.' He said. Umaira is in two minds, she wants to go ahead but she is also scared as it is her first time. Then, she felt guilty, she had planned this to make Mehran happy and now taking him so far it will be unfair to back out.


'No. Don't stop.' She said closing her eyes. Mehran nodded and leaned forward. He kissed her inner thighs, before pulling down her inners. Umaira squeezed her eyes tight.


'From where did you get this?' Mehran asked amused looking at the condom packet. Umaira blushed.


'My roommate had it.' she said shyly. Mehran is shocked


'What? Don't you know.... things happen in hostel rooms.' She said surprised that he didn't know about this. Mehran shrugged 'I don't care.'


'Mehran...please...gently.' Umaira muttered nervously as she felt him at her entrance. She felt jittery like she will explode.


'Don't worry, love.' he whispered lovingly. Umaira closed her eyes tightly, her fingers pinching his back. Thankfully, she had cut her nails else it would have left deep marks on his back. 'Oww...'she yelped as he entered her. Mehran paused.


'Are you fine?' he asked concerned. She nodded, tears clogging her eyes. Mehran looked at her for few seconds before gently pushing himself completely inside her. Umaira moaned loudly. She arched her back. She felt sharp pain as her walls parted slowly letting him in. Once he was inside, the excruciating pain reduced a little. Her breathing got uneven, her heaving breasts touched his chest. Mehran kissed her tears and then captured her lips in his. He kissed her deeply, open mouth kiss. Umaira held him closer to her.


With their body uniting as one, they felt complete. Like two bodies and one soul. Every boundary...every wall broke that night as the two lovers united not only physically but emotionally as well. Taking their relationship to the most intimate level strengthened their love for each other. As they made love they realized how madly and irrevocably in love they are with each other. After they were done, Mehran pulled her in his arms. Both sweating and glowing.


'Wow!' Mehran exclaimed breathlessly. Umaira blushed and hid her face in crook of his neck. Mehran smiled caressing her head. The two being too exhausted fell asleep quickly. The best sleep they ever had.


**********************************


Umaira and Mehran woke up.


Umaira turned her head to her right glancing at the alarm clock beside her. She pulled herself up and rested her back against the bed post. It is 1am.


Mehran glanced at the wall clock, 1am. He turned his head to his left and saw the calendar. 15th January.


Umaira and Mehran felt sad. Today if they were together, they would have been celebrating their 7th Anniversary together. They would have been with each other, perhaps married also with kids. But, sadly it isn't the case. After their breakup, this date initially had made them sad, but with time they got over this, getting distracted. But with their pasts colliding once again, their old wounds turned green again. A wound subconsciously neither had let healed.


Umaira looked at Ibrahim who is lying flat on his stomach, sound asleep. His soft snores puncturing the silence of the gloomy night. Umaira sighed and climbed down the bed. She tied


her night robe over her night PJs and walked out from the room. She went to the kitchen and switched on the lights. She recollected Mehran hugging Siham and her heart twisted with pain. She exhaled loudly


'Why did you come back in my life, Mehran? Why are you affecting me so much?' she said to herself. Tying her hair in a quick messy bun she tried distracting herself by making a cup of coffee.


Mehran looked at Siham's sleeping figure, she is sleeping peacefully. He sighed and got off the bed. He walked towards the small bar and took out a beer bottle. He stared at it recollecting Umaira and Ibrahim together, his insides churned with agony. He opened the can.


'Why? Why did you come back in my life, Umaira?' he said to himself gulping down the content of the can.


Umaira sipped her coffee staring out from the living room window, into the dark cold night. It looked like there has been no life form existing here. The gloomy night reflected the storm brewing inside of her.


After two can down, Mehran wobbled towards the huge French window. He opened the curtains and looked out. The town is lit yet it is quiet. He saw the chaos on the busy streets even at this late hours, the chaos outside is much like the chaos inside him.


Umaira and Mehran sighed sadly letting a tear drop from their eyes.
