A Week of Passion: Kanishka’s Secret Love Affair – Part 1

Hi everyone, it’s my very first story.

Ashish and Kanishka had been married for two years. They loved each other dearly, and their bond seemed unbreakable. Kanishka is a beautiful twenty-seven-year-old woman, and her husband is an average-looking thirty-one-year-old guy. They both work in IT.

Theirs was an arranged marriage. They fell in in love with each other and have a pretty good life. They both planned to go to Goa for a mutual friend’s wedding. But at the last moment Ashish got a training session in New Delhi for a week. So he had to drop the plan.

They planned to have a great weekend in Goa, along with the wedding. But now they had to drop the plan, and Kanishka was very sad. Ashish was sad, too, but this training would lead him to promotion, and both made up their mind.

Since they had already applied for leave, Ashish asked Kanishka to go with her friend Shruti to the wedding. Kanishka was worried at first. But Ashish comforted her by saying she should go out instead of staying alone in the house. Kanishka was finally happy.

Shruti too was really happy, now that she has got company. So, as planned, Ashish dropped both Kanishka and Shruti at the station. Then he went to the airport to catch his flight to Delhi.

Finally, Kanishka and Shruti got on the train. They began to chat, as they had been seeing each other for a long time. They caught up about their lives and work. Shruti is Kanishka’s childhood friend, and they know each other’s secrets. They both studied in the same school and the same college.

Shruti – it’s been a long time, Kanishka.

Kanishka- Yes, it’s been a long time, my dear friend.

Shruti- I am glad your husband booked a first-class coupe. We can relax in comfort. I am also glad that you invited me.

Kanishka – well, you have to thank my husband. If not for his damned training, you would be coming in a bus. Right?

Shruti – Yes, I am also sorry for your husband’s program. I am sure you both planned a lot for the weekend.

Kanishka – Hmmm, now it seems I have to spend time with you, Shruti.

Shruti- Well, we can have all the fun we want dear. What happens in Goa stays in Goa!

Kanishka – Yes, dude, we can booze.

Shruti – We can wear bikinis.

Kanishka – Hold on, that’s a strict no, no.

Shruti – Come on, Kanishka, who’s going to know? We can booze, do drugs and even attend rave parties, and I can’t wait to get laid.

Kanishka – Shruti, that’s too much. I know you want to explore a lot, but still.

Shruti – Kanishka, relax. I want to do stuff that has no consequences. We are at the peak of our age, and why not have fun. I am sure you have your fantasies.

Kanishka – of course, boozing is good. I think we can do drugs, too. I mean, we wanted to do it when we were in college. Now’s the chance.

Shruti – That’s pretty lame. What I meant was sexual fantasies.

Kanishka – Why are you so obsessed with sex? It’s pretty lame. Once you get married, you will get tired of it.

Shruti – Oh my god, don’t tell me you got bored with sex? I mean, we both had a lot of fantasies about sex in our college life.

Kanishka – You are right. I got bored with sex. It’s not as amazing as you think.

Shruti – I think you got bored with your husband. Well, for your information, I had sex with 6 different guys. Each time, it feels as if something new.

Kanishka – (Dumbfounded) What? 6 guys? I know you had a boyfriend in college and another now in your work. But 4 others.

Shruti – (Blushes) Keep quiet, Kanishka. It’s not a big deal. Yeah, I had a bf in college and now in my work. But I also have 4 other bf’s, too, but not long term. One is my gym trainer. Another is a Swiggy guy, another is a TL from my previous job. The last one is my distant cousin. Just a few meet-ups and a few one-night stands, nothing more.

Kanishka – Really, Shruti, isn’t that morally wrong? I mean, you are cheating on your current boyfriend.

Shruti – Dude, even I don’t know if I am going to marry the current one. It seems more like time has passed. Look, I will be sincere once I am married to the one who is meant for me, but who knows what the future brings? Shouldn’t we be supposed to have fun too? We are living in an age where these things are normal.

Kanishka – I know, I know. Much of such news is coming nowadays. Just don’t get into trouble.

Shruti – I know that. That’s why you have to be careful. Always choose guys who are not serious and are for time to pass. In that way, both can get what they want and remain in a better and understanding relationship. Never choose guys who want to be very serious in a relationship, these guys are the ones who will never want to leave you and will be a huge problem. These guys deserve good girls like you. (she finished it by winking at Kanishka)

Kanishka – Hmmm.

Shruti – But we both know you are not that much innocent.

Kanishka – What do you mean?

Shruti – We both were sexually hungry during our college days. We both share a lot of Adult jokes and even talked about masturbation. Hell, we even shared about our masturbation experience. You are the one who taught me to use a nail polish cap and a small carrot for masturbation, and it turned out to be good.

Kanishka – (slightly blushing) Oh please, it was nothing. That was a different me. But you got a bf and lost your virginity and bragged to me. I had to wait till my marriage. Though it was fun for a few months, my husband lost interest after a year. Even I don’t feel too much towards sex nowadays.

Shruti – Dude, let me tell you something! If you had accepted Azar’s proposal in college, you would not be so against sex. I mean, you guys had some intimate moments, but that’s nothing compared to real sex.

The name Azar made Kanishka forget the present and think about the past. A name she had almost forgotten in the 2 years of her marriage life. Kanishka had been friends with Azar, a charming boy (now a twenty-six-year-old man), during their college days.

Azar had a huge crush on Kanishka and even proposed to her multiple times. However, due to religious differences and family study commitments, Kanishka had to decline his love proposal. However, they remained good friends. The mention of Azar’s name made some butterfly effect in Kanishka’s stomach.

She was lost in her memories of the time they spent together. Her first kiss with him. All those night chats, video calls (nothing sexual though, but definite flirting), holding hands together sometimes. Listening to their fav songs and doing some stupid reels (all of which were lost).

Hanging out with him on his bike, bunking some class. Eating the biryani he made for her and sharing their lunches, fighting for chocolates and ice creams, arguments they made and making up for it, all those pics they took. They were inseparable in their college lives.

The last time she saw him was at her wedding. He was really sad but never showed it anyway.

Shruti- Hey Kanishka, are you there? Did I disturb your thoughts? Looks like a cat caught your tongue. You still have not forgotten him?

Kanishka – Hmmm, I didn’t even think about him for years. But you were in contact with him. So how’s Azar?

Shruti – Well, he’s good and guess what? He is coming to the wedding too!

Kanishka – (Panically) Wait, what?

Shruti—It’s our friend Kavya’s wedding, Kanishka. Of course, most of our gang is coming, including Azar and Avin.

Avin is Shruti’s bf in college.

Kanishka – Wow, we can finally meet them.

Their gang had 10 members, including Kanishka, Shruti, Azar, Avin, Kavya, Sheetal, Hemanika, Christy, Urvi, and Vishal. They were the closest and remained together throughout the college. Of this, Urvi and Vishal have married each other (another college couple).

Sheetal and Christy married guys through an arranged marriage like Kanishka. Hemanika, Shruti, Avin and Azar remain unmarried. Kavya gets married to Bipin, a good friend of Ashish. He introduced Bipin to Kavya when she came to visit Kanishka.

So that’s why it’s a mutual friend’s wedding for both Ashish and Kanishka.

Shruti – it’s a long time since our entire gang met together.

Kanishka – I thought Azar and Avin were not coming. That’s what Kavya said when we talked.

Shruti – Yes, Azar is supposed to go to Dubai for a job. I don’t know Avin’s story. Never talked with him after our breakup. But looks like Vishal talked them through, and they are coming. But the bad news is Christy and Hemanika are not coming.

Shruti – Christy is 7 months pregnant, and her in-laws have made her cancel her program. Hemanika is currently in the UK. She just came to India 6 six months ago. And coming now would be a huge financial problem for her.

Kanishka – Yes, I know Hemanika will not come. But I hope we can meet Christy. Now that, too, is gone.

Shruti – I think Azar came to the wedding to meet you. Now, knowing your husband is absent will make him so much happy.

Kanishka – Shut up, Shruti. He’s not like that, and so am I.

Shruti—Really, I know if there is any opportunity, you two will be happy to spend time alone. Remember what happened during our college tour? You two were sitting together on the bus. You both slept on each other’s shoulders, and you both looked really cute.

Kanishka – (Her face was fully red) And that was it. We were good friends and never had any bad intentions.

Shruti – Oh really, I know what really happened. You both were snogging when the lights were turned off in the night. He was cupping your boobs (above her clothes) While you tried to pull it off and caught hold of his hand.

Kanishka – (Panics) How do you know that?

Shruti – I was sitting behind you guys with Avin. For some reason, he slept, and I was awake. Then I heard some very light kissing and mumbling sounds from your seat. I got up calmly and as quietly as I could and saw your actions.

Shruti – You stopped kissing him when he tried to put your hand above his dick. That’s when you pushed him off, and he very quietly apologized. He then tried to kiss you, but you slapped him.

Kanishka – (Face fully red) Hmmm, so you saw it but never made fun of it to me.

Shruti – I respect your privacy, dear. I would never make fun of your intimate moments. That’s your own to cherish it. But I know he didn’t stop there. The next day, again during the night. He first kissed your arm, then you kissed your neck, and you guys started kissing again, licking your tongue and exchanging your saliva.

Shruti – But your hands never made any moments like the last night. After a few minutes, the lights were on. You guys quickly fell apart. I sat quickly, and we all went to sleep.

Kanishka—My, My. You saw all of this, but thanks, dear. Yes, the next day, he apologized, behaved properly and promised not to do things that were above the limits. We agreed only to kiss and hold hands—nothing more.

Shruti – No mention. I know you had a crush on him, too. If not for your family, I am sure you would have loved him back, even married him.

Kanishka—You are right, but I never regretted my decision. My family will never agree to my love, and interfaith love will be just too much to handle. In the end, I know it will never work out between us. Also, he was never worried about his career and was carefree.

Kanishka –That, too, made me think a lot. When I got the job, he had 12 papers in arrears. I didn’t love him, but yes, he was my first crush. I had feeling for him, too. But we were good friends. He, too, knows it will not work for us, but I know he loved me very much. But I had to choose my life. I feel so sad for Azar.

Shruti – Oh Kanishka, I never know this (hugs Kanishka). I know you had a crush on him.

Kanishka – How?

Shruti – You know, you were not a foodie during your college days. One day you fainted in college assembly as you didn’t have your breakfast. And guess who came to your rescue? It was Azar who carried you to the med room and bought you juice to recover. From that day, you always looked at him with a blush, awe, kind of your hero.

Kanishka—(Blushes) Yes, that’s when, for the first time, a guy touched me and carried me. I can still feel his strong hand muscles, his stiff chest, and his smell when he lifted me and took me to the med room. But I think he fell for me before. I think he fell for me when he saw my failed reel dance that I showed him.

Shruti—Oh, I get it. I filmed you. You were pretty cute. No wonder he fell for you.

Kanishka—Hmmm, only after that did he start messaging me, and we used to chat for hours at night.

Shruti – Did you guys flirt?

Kanishka—I think we did. It was nothing sexual, though. He often shared some adult jokes, which were pretty good.

Shruti – And?

Kanishka – We also played truth or dare. That’s when he proposed to me. Every time dared that, he would hold, kiss and marry me. He asked truth to me whether I loved him or not. I would, of course, reject him. It was before the tour he asked if I had any feelings for him. I, being stupid, accepted. He then dared me to sit with him during the tour, and I agreed. Then you saw what happened.

Shruti – Hmmm, you are not really boring, Kanishka. You had your sparks. So, that was your first kissing experience?

Kanishka—Yes. I was not expecting that. It just happened naturally. We listened to our favourite songs and even sang together. During the night, the bus light was turned off, and the AC was put on. We got really close and looked into each other’s eyes. Then he made the move to kiss, and I obliged.

Shruti – That’s so romantic, Kanishka. Did you guys have any other intimate moments in our tour other than the nighttime on the bus.

Kanishka—Yes, it was. We had some moments, though. When we were on the beach, he was literally holding me when we went somewhat deep inside the sea. As I was short, I was not able to hold up in the seawater, and he held me tight. I could feel his boner, too, that time.

Kanishka – He then kissed me back of my neck and caught hold of my boobs. I could do nothing at that time. Then I feinted that I was not able to breathe, and he brought me to the shore. We also shared a kiss when we went to wash our hands after we had our food in the roadside dhaba.

Shruti – Wow!

Kanishka – It’s during the last day of the tour that I told him to end this. I told him we couldn’t continue this and had to concentrate on our coming exams. He was really sad, but agreed. Though he proposed to me again after our college, I had to reject him. Told him to concentrate on his future and begin to avoid him as I got busy with my job. Now I really feel sorry for him (tears in her eyes). I shouldn’t have gotten close to him.

Shruti – You miss him.

Kanishka – A lot.

Shruti – Oh, Kanishka (hugs her), you will meet him again. Now that your husband is not here, why can’t you make out with Azar?

Kanishka – Shruti, I don’t want to do that. I will be happy to meet him, but nothing personal.

Shruti – We both know you had feeling for him, too. Why not end it properly with a good note?

Kanishka – What do you mean, Shruti?

Shruti – Just talk with each other and leave with a good note. I mean the truth. Tell him your feelings but also about the future.

Kanishka – I think I will do that.

Shruti – If things happen, let it be. That’s your secret.

Kanishka – That will not happen. But yes, I will talk with Azar and will leave in a good way. No point in keeping hard feelings. I am sure that’s what you are going to do with Avin.

Shruti—Yes, I want to end my relationship with Avin on a good note. He was my first crush and the one who took my virginity. We had our misunderstandings, but I had to sort them out. Of all the relationships I had, he was the only one who was really into me. Even Gourav (her current boyfriend) doesn’t seem to be very serious nowadays.

They kept talking about their past and reached Goa the next day. Shruti cancelled her hotel booking and decided to stay with Kanishka in her hotel. They took a cab and reached their hotel room and refreshed and slept that entire day.

At night, both went to the beach and spent some quality time with each other. They met their old friends Vishal and Urvi, the recently married love birds and had a lot of fun. Kanishka was looking forward to meeting Azar.

To her disappointment, he will be coming along with Avin the next day straight for the wedding. They had their dinner in a seaside restaurant. They went to sleep pretty early as they had to go to the wedding the next day.

To be continued.
