Author's POV.. Uyir was sitting in hall the cook and maids already left.. She was alone with her own thought... She wasn't even feel hungry now.... It's 8 PM when she heard door opening sound that broke her chain of thoughts.. She stood up and saw tired Jayadev walking in once he saw her he directly came near her and engulfed her in a warm hug and hide his head in her neck filling his nostrils with her intoxicating smell... She didn't expected that for sure.... Our preplanned version of conversation never happens as it is.. Life always surprise us... Uyir was actually contemplating is this soft and innocent child is real Jayadev Or that angry and cold one... Even though she only saw the later version only once she can say that's not acting even this one is not acting.... Both are the same person's characteristics.... She doesn't have an idea how to respond to this gesture of him.... He didn't moved away he was still hugging her tightly searching his peace in her.... When he realized she wasn't hugging him back he mumbled over her skin... Jayadev: Sorry de.. I won't say that I won't do that again.... But surely I will try to not show that worst of mine less... Sorry de... I didn't mean to hurt you.. It's just came out when you asked about them.... Sorry... His voice was low but he meant every words he said....... She slowly encircled her hand on his shoulder.. He tightened the embrace more and pressed thier bodies more together like a single mold...... Uyir didn't felt that closeness suffocating instead it felt more comfort... May be she too needed that warm embrace after all that information incorporated in her mind today..... She needed it so she was relishing the hug with calmness... They stood there stilled in each other's embrace her mind again and again replaying his words... What does that mean... This man who is hugging her like she was his source of life was actually making her simple life into more complicated and pulling her into his mysterious world and she wasn't displeased with that fact........ She was allowing him to corrupt her mind body and soul without any repulsion... That's weird because his closeness and touches makes her numb of her own self she becomes water that can take up any shape and color he likes.... Unknowingly he was becoming her addiction and all her preplans and anger or any other emotions of her become nothing when it's comes to him... It will be there inside her till she see him in presence.... Once he was in front of her she feels nothing but to take care of him like he was a new born baby and comfort him... Is he doing it purposely or Its spontaneous..... She doesn't know even he doesn't know what happens to him when she was near because he feels like a starving slave and she was his precious food which is right in front of him he can't neither relish it fully nor ignore like it doesn't exist in front of him... Both were stuck in the veil of desires when they are together..... Because when they are at same place all they want was togetherness nothing else matters at that time.... The sexual tension between them always at highest level possible without thier knowledge..... They are each other's drug as well as medicine at the same time which consumes them fully ... Both are still trying to figure out and failings terribly finding what between them...... He parted away slightly from the hug to look at her face...he cupped her cheeks his thumb creased her jawline.... Uyir opened her eyes and looked at him......he inhaled deeply his thumb was now tracing her parted dry lips.... His eyes still didn't broke the eye contact... He gulped Seeing the intensity of her gaze and intoxicated state he was slowly getting into.... He placed his head over hers and asked in his deep and hoarse voice.... Jayadev: Are you angry at me de... She didn't answered her eyes was still strike in his.... She inhaled deeply and turned her head slightly leaning on his palms more feeling his palm on her skin..... His other hand around her back tightened pulling her more into him...she gasped and gripped his shoulder tightly.... He held her chin up... Thier face were too close they can feel each other's hot breath.. Thier body pressed together... He asked her... Jayadev: I asked you something de.... Are you still angry at me... Uyir: Does it matter Dev??? She asked him back raising her eye brows...She wasn't afraid that turned him on badly still he controlled to listen to her more... His hand on her neck now travelled back and gripped the back of her neck and pulled her more towards him..... Only a centimeter gap between thier faces.... He replied her  Jayadev: It does..... It does matter to me de... Uyir : Ohhh... She smirked Mockingly... His fingers entered inside her hair and gripped it tightly... She gasped... Jayadev:I do care about you and you know that clearly de.... Uyir: Just care... Huhh... I don't need just care from you... Jayadev : Then what do you want..huh.... He asked her questioningly.... She smiled at him and her one hand cupped his face.... Uyir: All of you....... Nothing more nothing less.... I want your everything... She leaned and kissed his neck making him groan..... She smirked he can feel that on his skin she looked up... He was about to captured her lips .... She leaned back smirking at him..... His hand griped her hairs in his tight fist and pulled her head slightly back.....His jaw tightened as he grits his teeth tightly to control not wanting to unleash the beast but his wife is he'll bend to pull that beast out to have her as it's feast... Jayadev: Ena de.. Huhh..... Uyir: You can't have me until I get answers.... Jayadev: Answers for what... Uyir: who is Maya to you?... His brows knitted his grip on her body as well as hair loosened ... Uyir pushed him making him stumble back a little and fell on the sofa.... She hovered over him as he leaned back she caged him in between her and the sofa..... Her hands were either side of his head.... She smirked at him...he gulped at thier position... She was still in the same saree due to thier position her pallu fell away and was hanging at the end of her wrist that revealed her cleavage and navel..... She held his chin and made him look up at her eyes.... She asked him.... Uyir: I asked you something da Purusha.. Who is Maya to you.... He didn't answered..... Uyir: your friend.. He nodded negatively... Uyir: Then Childhood bestie.. Again same reaction... Uyir: Cousin or crush... Again he nodded negatively... All the time he avoided looking into her eyes... Uyir: Then is she your........ Love... He looked up at her shocked.....Uyir chuckled... Uyir: So she is your love...wow..... Then who am I to you....? He didn't answered.. And held his head down... She placed her index finger on his chin and made him look at her... Uyir: What is this all you have for me... just.......Lust... Jayadev: NooUyir: Then what you have for me.... Huh.. The desire to have my body.... The desire without love is lust Or obsession.... I need answer.... Today I want to hear you talking.....speak up..... Who am I to you Mr. Jayadev...

His eyes showed furry... Jayadev: Ena dee sona... Huh......dare to say that again... ( what did you said dee.) She was struggling to breath but didn't pushed him away due to the tightness a lone tear left her eyes..... Uyir: Aah... Va.... Vali.kuthu.... (Aah... It's... Paining) He immediately loosened his hold.... And closed his eyes to control the volcano erupting inside him... When he opened his eyes she was smiling at him... Uyir: Why are you getting angry.... I just said the fact... He gritted his teeth.... Jayadev: Uyiirrr.... Don't... Uyir: Then say what is Maya to you.... Is she important to you than me.... He gulped..... And said.. Jayadev: Nooo.... You are important than anything... She chuckled... Uyir: So you easily gave up on your love for your Maya.... Wow.... Then you will gave up on me to if someone else come huh.... He fell beside her and pressed his head on the sofa before speaking.... Jayadev:Stop... Just stop this... I don't know how to explain you.....Maya... She is been my solace for the past 23 years.... She saved my life as well as being the only hope for me to live..... I don't know how she looks what she do where she is....all this years I searched her everywhere but I couldn't able to find her...... My friend Vikram said she was my illution and she doesn't exist... I am just imagining things.... But I don't believe that.... She is real... I do have a proof.....He took out that ring from his pocket and looked at that with a sad smile and his thumb creased the name Maya...... Jayadev: This ring was the only proof I have to say that wasn't illution she was actually there at hospital.... She wanted take me with her....that time was I lost every hope to live.. I thought no one needs me ..... But she did that gave me the power to survive... I wanted to survive for her....

He took a deep breath..... Jayadev: I decided I won't let any other girl in my love except her..... You came to crash it down and corrupt my mind... I fell for you... Started craving for you.... That made me feel more guilty for betraying my love for Maya..... Vikram called me and said that he find something about her.... That's why I left that day..... . ...
