A Peck Of Love

"I can't believe it, really. Every famous group wanted Shakti to work with them. Even I admired her for her skills. But never ever in my life I thought that she would be Ira."

Samer could feel the hot nerves of Jumbo.

Why Tina never told me about both of them involved in such a situation? Is there any thing more that I don't know?

"Boss I am telling you. I am not going to leave her just like that. So what if she's your wife! Even if you came between both of us I am not going to spare her life." Jumbo said with his stern voice.

"Stop it Jumbo! You don't have to do anything. I will look into this matter personally. Investigate the person behind all this."

Jumbo's blood began to boil and he replied "Tell me boss. Do you love Ira?"

Samer's heart skipped a bit.

And then he heard "Why are you this protective towards her? Was Tina nothing to you?"

Jumbo smirked. The only person who he thought of his family was Tina. And now that she's gone, he feel lonely. He was roaming as a beggar on the street as an orphaned child. It was Tina who rescued him and gave him the sisterly love. She helped him to enroll into the martial arts school. Everything he is now was just because of her. And now that he knows why she was killed, the only thing he wanted is to take revenge.

Samer just couldn't answer his questions. Why it's always Ira whenever anything happened to Tina?

Jumbo got up from his chair angrily, kicked it and went outside of the office.

Samer knew that this time he just can't stop Jumbo. He has seen a very bad face of Jumbo before. But this was totally different from everytime.

He was just so angry that he can harm anyone. And that's what scared Samer the most.

What if he would do something to Ira?

The single thought only made him stand huriedly on his feet and he walked out of his office.

He wanted to see her right there and then with his own eyes. He lost Tina. But he can't loose Ira.

It was then when he was on his way towards the site, he got into an accident. He just fainted there and brought to hospital.

At present time..

Samer looked at Ira. His heart finally relaxed a little after seeing her. But it will not always be the same. He not only have to save her from those people who killed Tina but also from Jumbo.

"Are you ok?" Ira asked timidly while looking at their intertwined palm.

Samer came into his sense with her question. He nodded his head in reply.

There were so many things running inside his mind. He just felt lost in it.

Neither Ira nor Samer removed both of their palms from one another. Ira felt a tingling sensation in her eyes which she controlled after blinking for several times.

Samer rested back on bed but his eyes were still open.

Ira thought that she should not disturb him as he's already awake now.

"I will leave now. If you need anything just give me a call. And please take care." she said while looking at Samer. Though she said those words she wasn't really going back. She was just going to sit outside the room and watch over him from afar. In the same way as she has been doing all these years.

Samer's calmed heart once again started to turn into turmoil. He wanted her to stay there with him so that he could see her safe and healthy.

He tightened his hold around her fingers without saying anything.

Ira was stunned for a moment. She doesn't know what was the meaning of this. She waited for his response but he didn't say anything.

She remained in the same position. His hold was tight so was hers. His eyes were closed. She knew this drowsiness was the effect of sedatives.

After some time passed she too began to feel sleepy and even she couldn't tell when she fell asleep. She dreamt of sleeping beside Samer. She dreamt of him giving a very light peck on her forehead, her cheeks and then on her lips.

After about two hours when she opened her eyes, she found something strange. She opened her eyes and was stunned when her eyes met with another pair of eyes.

There was just an inch of distance between Samer and her. His arm was over her waist holding her close to him. Both of their chest touching each others. She could feel the up and down movements of his chest.

Her heart began to thump loudly inside her chest. The feeling was so strange yet the familiar at the same time.

Samer held her even more closer. Ira couldn't understand anything. Her heart warmed up with the rising of beautiful feelings.

Is that real?

Everything was just very perfect till she considered one possibility.

Is he thinking that I am Tina?

If it's true then that explains why he is behaving like that.

Her face fell with her own thoughts. She began to struggle to get free from his hold.

Samer hissed in pain as he said "Stop moving Ira. You are hurting me."

Ira stopped her movements. She stared into his eyes. His eyes were staring at hers.

Ira.. Does he say Ira? So that means he knew it's me.

She looked towards his chest. She doesn't want to show him the tears that were forming in her eyes.

When Samer had woken up he found her sleeping in a siting position. So he let her sleep beside him holding her close to his body.

He just couldn't take his eyes off her innocent face. He didn't know when he kissed on her lips. But it felt so soft and tender.

He wanted to taste it more. But then she opened her eyes. He just couldn't do anything but control his feelings.
