37. Romantic Encounter

Akshara grabbed the empty bottle in her hand and searched every corner to find any sign of hiding beasts since she heard the coughing sound of man. After searching the cave bar with her deep radar eyes, finally, she found two men were still roomed in the Cave Bar. One was sleeping upside down in the corner of the wall and another was sleeping from a chair to lean against the table holding the empty wine glass.
Akshara had thought of her strategy of Fight or Flight, however, she chose to stay behind, realizing the fact that both were drunk and weak in their alcoholic consumption.
She went near the man who was upside down, “Sire, Wake up... you can’t sleep here. Your position might cause you brain damage!”
The man from the table opened his mouth to utter with a slyish laugh, “He must have brains to expose such damage?”
Akshara looked behind and the man on the table laughed at her. Akshara shouted, “Stop laughing. Hurry and get out, the bar is closed. Go now.”
Though she expressed the words with boldness, the inside was trembling like an earthquake recalling her past encounter with dirty mind men. The upside-down man opened his eyes widely all of a sudden and wondered about his vision.
Akshara looked upside down. The man stood to his feet and looked deeply while Akshara stepped backwards in fright and held the empty wine bottle in her hand to attack if needed.
The man stood up to dialogue with partially understandable language, “Udayret... Sharry... mug a... I...”
Akshara could identify only SORRY from his blabbering. The man poked his head and brought his clarity and approached to kneel before her. The panicked Akshara jolted backwards with a scream.
The man disclosed his name in his knelt, “Miss. I am Ivan Shirk. I beg your mercy.”
Akshara thought that he was mocking her, “Sire, Nice to meet you... Wait... What... Why did you want my mercy? Oh!!! Did you overhear me?”
Ivan lowered his head in guilt, “Yes. I heard your conversation. I felt bad about myself. I don’t have any intentions to overhear, it just occurred accidentally. Your words blazed my heart in guilt fire. I am sorry for what the guards’ usage of abusive words.”
Akshara wondered about his reply,
“I thought he had overheard my conversation with empty glasses which had happened just now but he is telling me that he overheard the conversation with guards. How does it relate? Why does he need my mercy?
Just before a few hours, I begged mercy from men in the same place. The entire scene changed. But he is not the man who misbehaved with me... Why does he want my mercy...? So weird!”
Ivan interrupted the thoughts of Akshara, “Miss, Can you show mercy on me?” lowered his head to hit the ground on his knees and begged her mercy.
Akshara was astonished to look at the man bowing before her to seek mercy, “Sire, Don’t do this... It’s embarrassing. Why do you need my mercy?”
Ivan stood on his feet and grabbed the hands of Akshara and talked continuously, “Forgive me...” his drunken mind instructed him to plead the mercy of Akshara ignoring the fact that he might hurt her with his rough clutching.
Akshara felt pain and shock under his grip, “Sire, you are hurting me, leave my hand.”
Ivan blabbered like a mad man, “...Accept my apology... Forgive me... Punish me, please.”
Akshara was struggling to release his hold from Ivan but the alcohol corrupted his mind with blurriness and he could not get a clear vision. His motive was to seek an apology from her. So he continuously talked without a pause by grabbing her hands and legs.
Akshara was panic-struck to get rid of him. Unfortunately, she slapped him on his face hard and landed an empty bottle on his head mistakenly to get rid of him. Ivan falls on the floor hitting the chair and the chair rolls to reach the direction of Akshara. The hit made by the chair made her slip her gravity.
"Dev" shouted Ivan.
Dev with half-opened eyes got the visual of a girl falling against him; his brain gave the signal to open his arms to grasp her from falling who was partially conscious, Akshara landed on the hands of Dev. The force of Akshara made both of them collapse on the ground with a thud sound.
*****
Akshara opened one of her eyes and looked at the man she was on. Akshara was captivated by the aura of Dev and found her heart beating so fast on looking at him. She deeply examined and discovered his handsome look at the very least distance.
Akshara’s mind begins to talk involuntarily to her,
“How could a man be so handsome? What a stunning physic! His wide forehead shows that he must be a knowledgeable person and must have a vision of foreseeing the upcoming troubles.
His thick eyebrows fill his face with extra handsome. As his eyes are closed, I can’t see its beauty. Weird hair colouring to Silver, Is it out of trend or age? Surely, trend, his face has no scars or wrinkles. Perfect face with high cheekbones with a sharp nose with big nostrils.
Oh! Axe, no don't look at his lips, it is so sexy... No, I will be tempted. Surely his mother would drink some holy nectar of sacred flowers to yield such handsome in her boy.
If I ever get a chance, I will seal his lips with mine… Wait... What!?!?! Oh no... What am I thinking? Why am I thinking like that? Why and how my forbidden thoughts did come into existence? Did my brain go crazy in his extraordinary aura? Axe, get up now. You are over him. Get up before he opens his eyes.”
Akshara tried to release her hold with the help of her hands. In her attempt, her hair hooked on to his outfit, she tried all means to get rid of her hair from his outfit without disturbing his drowsiness.
In her attempt, she shook her head to pull her hair, the sudden jerk did wake up drowsy Dev. He opened his eyes to witness a girl struggling to get rid of her hair from his shirt. Akshara who was controlling her to stop admiring him was stunned to see his icy-blue-iris eyes, “Such cute eyes, my god.”
Dev listened to her words with knitted eyebrows and he opened his arms to pull her towards him. Akshara was shocked by his actions and widened her eyes to examine his intentions, while Dev did captivate by Akshara’s exotic eyes.
Dev’s mind lingered with his deeper thoughts,
“Am I still dreaming? I would have drunk half the stock in this bar, still, I can't get rid of such a dream of those exotic eyes. The miracle is, I can able to see her face unlike the blurry image of her face in the last dream. Indeed, she possesses the face of a perfectly drawn flawless moon. No wonder for her to have such exotic eyes.”
While Akshara was indulged in his icy blue eyes and spoke inwardly, “Oh no, I am getting captivated in his eyes. Huh, his warmth triggers something within me and I feel unbreakable to conceal my forbidden thoughts. I must not restrain in his powerful aura. It's dangerous for me to stay here with him.”
Akshara endured getting rid of him, while Dev who doesn’t like her departure, caught hold of her arms, flipped her over the icy floor of Cave Bar and hovered over her. He kept her under him covered and having her head in his palms carefully and another hand started to touch her eyes starting from her forehead.
The icy floor gave her chillness from the back which pricked her spine while the warmth from Dev’s body scorched her heart. All in a while, Akshara felt both cold and warm simultaneously.
Dev thought while riding his fingers on her face, “Since it is my dream, I can do whatever. But my sensory organs are powerful in my dreams too. It appears that I am having a girl in my arms for real... How weird my mind is?”
Akshara was speechless to his actions, “What is he doing? Why can’t I resist him? Why am I enjoying his touch? From his touch, he doesn’t appear like a stranger. Every inch of my skin seems to recognize him except my brain. Is he my past?”
Both eyes were narrowed; she looked deeply into his cute eyes and lost herself unknowingly. He too fallen deeply into such exotic eyes.
Akshara and Dev both talked in their mind and it echoed to each other hearts,
Akshara thought to herself, “A man with cute eyes looking at me” she flickered her eyelids rapidly.
Dev raised his thoughts in his mind, “I can see your exotic eyes in all my dreams. Why are you keep following me?”
Akshara continued, “You must be a crazy man to look at my eyes like that.”
Dev smiled at her and Akshara reflected his smile as if she could hear his mind voice without movement in his vocal cord. His inner voice acknowledged him, “I am going crazy since I saw you.”
Akshara blinked to her thoughts, “Absolutely if I prolong to look at your eyes like this, I will fall for you. I must make sure not to come close with you.”
Dev accepted his thoughts, “I am getting captivated by your eyes. I am going to wipe you from my mind at any chance. It is no safety for me.”
Akshara flickered her eyes to get a clear vision of him to judge his motive. The flickering eyes seemed like a butterfly to him, he found himself lost in her eyes.
Without giving rise to his second thoughts, Dev pressed his lips on hers and Akshara was awe-struck about the fact she is being kissed by a man who she saw for the first time. She felt her shutdown mind which was barely allowing every inch of her skin to respond to him without acknowledging the host, Akshara.
The effect of the wine from the wine falls of Frozen Crescent have affected his mind to unlock his unknown skill in romance and love. The exotic eyes of Akshara act as the key to the locked deeply buried love chamber in Dev’s heart.
The beats of two hearts have filled the air with one rhyme. The escaped breath from their action reflected the hotness of freshly erupted lava. She wiggled a little in his arms for shortness of breath but he didn't mind her and started pecking her lips deeply.
Dev endured his actions of sucking her soft lips slowly and when he received the positive response, his sucking went deeper and more aggressive longing for passionate love from Akshara. Akshara's eyes opened wide in shock at his action, but her hands were not ready to resist him instead wrapped around his neck to let him go further.
Suddenly, the spinal of Dev started to sprout to let the emergence of a pair of his large white wings which covered them completely blocking the outside world to let the two minds enjoy their newfound love.
Ivan couldn’t witness their actions fully but he could figure out what was happening between them, though they were covered with Dev's wings. Akshara paused for a moment by the emergence of wings and she looked at his eyes. He was deeply immersed in his actions while his eyes were open to observe her eyes once again and his arms were holding her gently.
The mind of Akshara was busy building numerous thoughts about him and his action.
“Who is he? Why he is performing this? My brain doesn't send any kinds of defence signals to my organs to defend him as it did before when some men were about to lay their hands on me; rather it seemed to be that both my mind and body found him familiar. Even his kiss seemed to be familiar. Did I ever come across him in my past or just I am lurking with his actions.”
After a while of numerous thoughts, she found that her lips were responding to him and Dev's sucking got deeper. The blood ran to her cheeks to fill her with shyness. Akshara felt that her lungs were lacking some oxygen.
Dev fixed his eyes over her eyes to provoke his thoughts,
“The things will grow deeper as long as you defend them. If you accept it, it will vanish on its own. After this, my mind will surely erase these exotic eyes from my memories. I will not have any kind of connection with these captivating eyes.
Unless my mind wanted to stop recalling my horrible intoxicating dream, I shall dwell in this dream for the one last time. Though it is a dream, I can sense her softness and ample beauty. My crazy inner self notifies me that my destiny binds with this mortal girl.
The brain must be the most mysterious part of the whole universe. I read that dreams are reflections of hidden desires of one's mind. But I never have thought of such things before. Am I cursed?”
“YOU ARE MINE,” Dev uttered those words out by breaking his kiss.
Akshara gasped heavily to fill her lungs with more oxygen as soon as he parted his lips from her and her mind flashed with real things happening around her, "What? Am I yours?”
"Dev!?!" Nora shouted from behind witnessing the stillness of time around the Cave Bar of Frozen Crescent. But, she couldn’t find anything about the romantic encounter of Dev and Akshara, as they were fully covered with the large white feathery wings of Dev.
