Chapter 10
Namrata finished with the final chore of her evening. From the looks of it, the party was a smashing success. She was tired to the bone. Her feet were aching being in the stilettoes for a long time. When the guests had dispersed and she had signed the final clearance voucher, it was 1AM. Fortunately the party was during the midweek and the guests had to go back to work next day… otherwise they would still be there.
Chapter 9
Ranvijay entered the hotel room huffing… He was fit physically. At 35 years of age, he didn’t look his age at all. He was a fitness freak and had a great stamina. But she had changed that… his little sparrow had changed his life.

The next day, the same day, actually considering she got home well past midnight… she woke up by 5AM and went through the regular motions of preparing breakfast and lunch for her mother and brother. At times whenever she stayed out overnight due to her work… which happened only twice before, Pooja aunty helped with the breakfast.
Chapter 7
“Wait here…” he said softly after reaching the bedroom and went out from there.
She looked around to see a lovely double bed which had been made neatly. The bedroom was very simple, walls painted in white with little white coloured furniture including the bed. Once again, exhaustion raised its head and she wanted to just sleep.
chapter 6
Namrata was full of nerves in anticipation of what was in store tonight. As she cooked the dinner she kept looking at the clock. Her mother and brother, Nirmay were used to her working late so she didn’t have to make up excuses for her coming back home late. But still, today she felt guilty for hiding her rendezvous from them… not that she could ever tell them what she was up to. At 6PM, she rushed to her tiny room, to get ready.
Chapter 5
Namrata looked outside at the passing scenes from the Auto, as she hailed home. She was staring into space. She was just not able to figure out that enigma who called himself the Giant Eagle… nor could she figure out herself.
Chapter 4
“When I tell you to wait, you wait.”
He spoke in a very soft voice. She slowly opened her eyes. Still holding her head he moved back and stared into her eyes, frowning…as if he was studying the turmoil in them.
Chapter 3
The address on the crumpled paper had mentioned RM tech park.
Namrata reached the lobby of the 11 storeyed glass building. She had worn a faded blue jeans pant and a pink cotton blouse. Her sneakers made it easy to walk fast on the granite embedded lobby floor. As she approached the reception, she stopped.
Chapter 2
The next day… the morning after
Namrata was breathing deeply still aroused thinking about the last night. She didn’t want to morally judge herself. It was the best night of her life. She touched her lips… she was sure they were swollen. She reflexly touched her neck… She could still feel his lips…
Chapter 1
The next day
Namrata looked around the room. The suite was…. Simply Majestic. She had only read about them or seen pictures online while researching for her manager. Her bed was huge and soft so were the countless pillows surrounding her. She looked at the other side of the bed. It was empty. She picked up a pillow and took a deep breath… hmmm it was the same cologne. Her insides clenched as she remembered her tryst last night…
