Pub (2)

"One month's salary," Abhiram said as his eyes shined. In his opinion, there was an 80 per cent chance of him winning the bet.

Aditya nodded as he said, "If you win I will give you not just a month but three months pay but if I win, you have to work wearing a frog costume for a week in our office." this was Abhiram's punishment for disturbing his thoughts.

Abhiram's eyes popped when he heard the bet conditions which were clearly in his favour. He grinned widely and agreed immediately as he feared that his boss might withdraw. Aditya also smiled as he started imagining the fun he was going to have in the coming week. He was going to buy seven different frog costumes of his own choice. He would have Abhiram wear a different frog costume every day, it would be more fun.

Just as Aditya was entertaining these evil thoughts, a slender figure fell on him and was about to slide on to the ground. Aditya sighed as he caught Charita from falling on the ground, he had been keeping an eye on her ever since she started drinking without restraint. This girl had taken his rejection close to her heart. In the beginning, Aditya was sure that she would recover quickly as it was just over a month that everything started. But clearly, Charita had exceeded his expectations by dragging it for these many days. Aditya did not think that a month could change a person's heart in any substantial way like how he developed feeling for Anupama over a duration of a year. Aditya did not take into account that Charita was different from him.

Jagvi's smiling face also receded when she saw Charita's drunken profile, she had already speculated that a person like Ishaan might already have a lover. So, when her boss let this news out, she was a little disappointed but felt nothing more but Charita who had filled her heart with her feelings for Ishaan did not take this well. Jagvi did not expect that her best friend who always stayed away from matters of love and romance in college would be so passionate when she truly pursued someone.

Charita wore a sparkling grey lace knitted sheath dress with an attached lining and straight hem which came up to her knees. This dress had a cowl neckline and if Aditya wished to see anything that might ignite his blood, he just had to move his eyes downward just a little because this girl had practically fallen on him and was refusing to get up. She held Aditya's collar as she muttered incoherently, "Why should you have a girlfriend? Am I not here? Why did you not wait for me?"

'Girl, if you don't release me soon, I am going to lose it and you would definitely become my woman tonight,' Aditya thought as he looked at the face of Charita whose cheeks had an alluring pink flush contrasting with her milky complexion. Fragrant sweat could be seen forming on her forehead which further weakened Aditya's constraints as he inhaled. The atmosphere in this pub further added to get his blood boiling. Also, all his employees were either rascals who were eager to see some action or too polite and formal to interrupt this moment. Jagvi was looking at this scene as she was reminded about what happened between her and Ishaan in the elevator the other day as a small blush formed on her face. She had never felt so weak and out of control in her life.

"Tya, do something, it's happening again," Aditya shouted in his mind when he saw Charita bring her face so close to him that he could practically see the lines in her iris as well as her dilated, blurry pupils.

"Elder brother Adi, didn't I say that it is not good to suppress these actions forcefully as it might build stress in your mind. Your body and hers clearly show that they want to mate with each other. Why are you stopping yourself forcefully? Take my advice and do her," Tya spoke in his adorable voice except that there was no cuteness in the meaning of his words. Though Tya said like that, he stopped the ejection of male pheromones from Aditya's body but did not stop his other reactions.

Aditya almost fainted when he heard these words. These were the moments that reminded Aditya that Tya was not a little kid but something different. He did not get the affairs and rules to be followed in society. Even If he did not take Hamsa into account, Aditya was actually okay to satisfy his sexual urges with a one night stand with Charita but he knew that this was not what Charita wanted. If he did something like this, he would have taken advantage of an innocent person in her most vulnerable state. This was obviously not okay with him.

After the talk with Taarini, Aditya had used the meditation techniques that he learned from the dream world to list the rules he would follow as a human and the moral bottom line that he would adhere to, at any cost. This included all kinds of conditions that he might face in the future like being rich, famous, killing, collateral damage, aid to the needy etc.

He had also thought about his sexual life in this process and designed a set of criteria before he had sexual relations with a woman. If Aditya wanted to live a life with a clean conscience, Aditya had come to the conclusion that it was not going to be easy. He had come to the conclusion that he had to be careful every moment of his wakeful life as one mistake could sabotage his psychological foundation.

Given his abilities, many things which are otherwise impossible for normal people to achieve or experience can be acquired quite easily by Aditya. He had neither the moral strength nor the required spirit to deal with this sudden change in his potential. As Taarini said, now that he was preoccupied with the thoughts of saving his parents, he was able to keep his imagination in check. But it will already be late if he failed to select his path until then. He did not want to do things that he might regret later in his life, he was living two lives to know that ignoring this would only make matters worse.

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing. So he had been actively taking time to analyse about each and every aspect of his life. In a way, Tya's quantum world gave him ample time to think these things peacefully. His mother's words would help him from time to time when he was confused or in a dilemma. It was very true that one's parents' words and actions become a child's inner consciousness as well as form a moral compass.

So in any angle, Aditya knew that he could not make a move on Charita but it was also a fact that Aditya's increased libido made it very hard to keep his mind clear. Her blurry, intoxicated eyes, her soft red puffy lips which were inviting him to ravish them, her hot fragrant breath which brushed his neck, the soft feeling he was experiencing as he held her waist, her soft but firm mounds which were pressing against his chest, her legs which intertwined with his legs as they rubbed against each other. This was an assault of multiple sensual feelings in one instant which caused his mind to flutter as he began to fall into a honey-filled abyss.

Just at that time, a sharp pain broke these thoughts and woke him up from his trance. He saw Charita bite him near his neck strongly as she started beating his chest, face and whichever part she could reach as she cried, "Rascal boss, idiot boss, stupid boss, heartless man, you didn't realise how I loved you and you say that you already have a lover, I hate you, hate you, hate yo…" Charita slowly slid into sleep as she rested her head on Aditya's chest.

Jagvi and the others who saw this scene rolled her eyes when they saw Charita spoil her own prospects with her own hands. There was clearly going to be some action the way their boss looked at Charita and leaned forward. Jagvi felt like she understood a crucial aspect of Ishaan, it was that he was weak to a woman who took the initiative to approach him. She had a strange smile when she saw Aditya's face which clearly showed relief as he shifted Charita to the side. She giggled a little when she thought how Charita would feel when she knows that she is her own enemy.
