[ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ⚠️⚠️⚠️
AUTHOR'S MESSAGE — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Before reading this chapter, I would like to say something important to all of my readers.
I had originally planned to start rewriting this novel and had already completed five rewritten chapters. However, before continuing, I decided to read the novel from the beginning because, surprisingly, I had never actually read it from Chapter 1 all the way through myself.
After reading from Chapter 1 to Chapter 55, I realized that this novel contains many mistakes, inconsistencies, and areas that could have been written much better. Because of that, I am seriously considering revising and improving the story.
But before making any decision, I want to hear from you, my readers.
Please be completely honest with me. Tell me from the bottom of your heart:
- Did you enjoy the novel?
- Were there moments that made you angry, frustrated, irritated, or disappointed?
- Were there parts that felt confusing, boring, rushed, or poorly written?
- What did you like the most?
- What do you think needs to be improved?
I sincerely request every reader to share their genuine thoughts and opinions in the comments. Please don't hold back. Your honest feedback will help me understand what worked and what didn't.
The reason I am posting this message in this chapter is because the response, comments, and feedback I receive here will play a major role in deciding whether this novel will continue and be rewritten, or whether I should move on from it.
Thank you to everyone who has supported and read this story so far. Your opinions truly matter to me.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing your honest thoughts. ]
(Thank you, Enjoy your chapter 🙏🙏)
As Prayush wandered through the bustling fair, the kaleidoscope of flashing lights and distant laughter swirling around him, his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen.
Shalini.
Without hesitation, he answered.
Before he could utter a word, her voice came through—sharp, urgent.
"I'm near the backside of the giant ride inside the mela… you and Ravi come here."
The call ended abruptly.
Prayush stood frozen, the phone still pressed to his ear as silence settled like a weight. No explanation. No questions. Just a command.
Ravi was occupied with work at home, leaving Prayush to navigate the fair alone. He hadn't anticipated anything unusual this morning—certainly not this.
But the realization dawned slowly, igniting a spark deep within him.
He was to meet Shalini. Alone.
A subtle, knowing smirk curved his lips as forbidden thoughts flickered through his mind.
Without a second's hesitation, he wove through the crowd, each step toward the giant wheel thick with anticipation.
Behind the fair's bustling stalls, Shalini slipped into a narrow, shadowed gap between curtains and temporary structures. The cacophony of the crowd softened here, replaced by a heavy, expectant stillness.
She exhaled slowly, a quiet breath of relief, waiting for Prayush's arrival.
Elsewhere, Malika and Avi stood near the entrance of the giant wheel ride. The queue moved sluggishly when Malika's phone rang. She answered, and within seconds, her face shifted—eyes darting first to Avi, then toward the open space beyond the ride.
Something was wrong.
Not just slightly—urgently.
The situation had spiraled beyond control.
Shalini had moved.
Without a word, Malika ended the call. Her grip tightened on Avi's hand as she turned and briskly exited the line.
Avi stumbled to keep pace. "What happened, aunty?"
"I need to go to the temple ground. Now. It's urgent," Malika's voice was clipped, final.
"But mom isn't back yet. If we leave like this, she might get scared when she comes back and doesn't see us," Avi protested.
Malika hesitated briefly, then exhaled a quiet, dismissive breath.
Scared?
Shalini wasn't the type to be scared.
If anything, she was reckless—easily distracted, pulled into situations beyond her control.
And that unpredictability was the problem.
Malika's face hardened into neutrality.
"Nothing will happen," she said calmly. "I'll call her. The place I told her is about twenty minutes from here. She won't be back immediately."
She didn't wait for questions.
Still holding Avi's hand, she guided him through the thinning crowd with a steady, determined pace—as if she already knew the outcome and was simply moving toward it.
Meanwhile, as Shalini waited for Prayush, her mind drifted back a month—back to when she was just a teacher, a housewife, a mother. But after that one evening talk with Malika, everything had shifted. The woman who once wouldn't let any man but her husband see her toes had opened herself to multiple men, surrendering to their desires without fear or hesitation.
The memory flushed her cheeks, a restless heat blooming deep inside. Her flower tingled with anticipation, nectar beginning to slick her thighs. Unconsciously, she sank deeper into the memory of that morning—how she'd worn a thick, high-necked winter hoodie in the sweltering May-June heat, paired with heavy wool socks, and hadn't bathed after the fevered night spent with Ravi and Prayush.
She remembered falling asleep without washing away the sweat and desire clinging to her skin. Then, early that morning, she had gone to the cottage with Prayush, right before the watchful eyes of the hostel staff. She had given him full permission—an unspoken surrender—to do whatever he wished.
The vivid recollection of Prayush's lips on her sweat-soaked feet, his tender kisses on her armpits, and the reverent press of his mouth against her flower flooded her senses. Each touch was a silent vow, a confession of devotion that left her trembling between power and vulnerability.
As these memories washed over her, Shalini's eyelids fluttered closed involuntarily. Her hand moved on its own, sliding beneath the thin, torn fabric of her sheer leggings. Fingers found the familiar warmth of her flower, rubbing slowly, lost in the intoxicating haze of desire and memory.
The perfect imperfection—the delicate balance of control and surrender, strength and softness—wrapped around her like a second skin, pulling her deeper into a world where pleasure and longing blurred into one.
Prayush's heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. He sprinted past the vibrant, chaotic stalls of the morning Mela, the clock having just struck 10:00 AM. The fairground was already alive with the smells of frying jalebis, the chatter of early shoppers, and distant music playing from loud speakers.
By the time he finally skidded to a halt near the massive, looming giant wheel, he was completely out of breath.
Sweat drenched his forehead and slid down his neck, his face flushed a burning, dark red. Anyone looking at him could tell he had run a mad marathon to get here.Slipping quickly into the narrow, shadowed lane directly behind the giant wheel, he found himself near a makeshift toilet cubicle.
It was a crude structure hidden by a heavy cloth curtain, secretly set up by the female shopkeepers of the Mela for their own private use. His hands shook with a volatile mix of fear, raw excitement, and crippling anxiety. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed Shalini's number.
'What if she's furious with me?' his mind panicked. 'She explicitly told me that Ravi and I should come together. I disobeyed her.' Yet, beneath the terror, a dark thrill shot through his veins. 'But I'm going to be alone with Shalini Madam again... just the two of us.' Driven by this overwhelming storm of emotions, Prayush held the phone to his ear, listening to the dial tone.
On the other side of the heavy cloth curtain, Shalini was completely lost in her own world, softly rubbing her flower. The sudden, persistent ringing of her phone jolted her, causing her to catch her breath sharply.
"Ahhh..." she exhaled, a ragged gasp of pure surprise as she came out of her hushed, dazed state.She stopped rubbing herself immediately. Her face was flushed bright red, and her breathing was shallow and rapid. Her sheer, torn leggings were already damp near her inner thigh, stained by the rapid, hot flow of her nectar. A few stray strands of hair clung heavily to her sweaty forehead from the 10:00 AM heat.
Controlling her breath, Shalini reached into her handbag, which she had placed nearby, and pulled out the ringing phone. She felt frustrated and angry at being interrupted right when she was so close to her climax. However, when she looked at the screen and saw Prayush's name, her anger cooled slightly. Even so, a wicked thought crossed her mind—she decided she would punish Prayush for the terrible timing of his call.
She accepted the call and spoke loudly, her tone sharp and demanding. "What?!"
On the other side of the line, Prayush flinched at her loud, angry voice. Gulping hard to swallow his dry saliva, his voice trembled violently through the receiver. "M-Ma'am... I'm behind the giant wheel in the narrow lane. Where do I come?"
Hearing his voice so close, Shalini stood up. She quickly fixed her hair, wiped the sweat from her face with her dupatta, and pushed past the heavy curtain of the hidden toilet. She walked out into the narrow alleyway connecting to the main road.
The contrast was striking. Just a few yards away, the Mela was a whirlwind of color and sound, but this specific lane was completely empty. Looking out, she spotted Prayush standing alone in the middle of the deserted path, chest heaving heavily. His red, sweat-slicked face clearly showed he had run all the way here without taking a single break.
At the sight of his desperation, Shalini's heart fluttered, and the last of her anger completely snuffed out. Instead, a profound wave of intensity washed over her. The heat inside her body surged at the thought of how madly infatuated this guy was for her. 'He is absolutely crazy for me,' she thought, a thrilling shiver running down her spine. 'What would I make him do to me right here in this empty lane? Out here in the open, with the constant risk of strangers catching us while I'm in my birth suit...'
Just the thought made her nectar overflow even faster, visibly wetting her leggings even more.
Pushing the intense thoughts aside for a moment, she called out, "Prayush, here!"
The moment Prayush heard her voice, he whipped around. Seeing her standing there, framed by the rustic backdrop of the fairground alley, his anxiety vanished. He sprinted forward blindly and threw his arms around her, hugging her tightly. Since Shalini was a head taller than Prayush, his face was smashed directly into her watermelons.
Shalini held him just as tightly, burying her fingers into his clothes, wanting nothing more than to mix Prayush into her very self. They stood there in the quiet lane, holding each other closely without saying a single word. Shalini lovingly and slowly roamed her hand over Prayush's head, stroking his hair, while Prayush traced his hands down her back and onto her peach.
As the moments passed and Shalini didn't pull away or question why he was alone, Prayush's hands began to misbehave. He assumed that Shalini Madam wanted to give him more of her time since their morning session had been cut short by the cottage manager. He began to lightly slap her peach, rubbing and squishing the soft flesh slowly.
Clasping both hands over her legging-covered cheeks, he pinched the fabric tightly and tore it open. The fabric gave way with a loud rip, creating a gaping hole that exposed Shalini's beautiful peach to the open air.
"Ahhh...!" Shalini took a sharp, deep breath, a loud moan escaping her lips as the hot morning air touched her exposed peach directly.Prayush slipped his bare hands through the torn opening.
As his skin made direct contact with her bare flesh, his heart stopped for a second. He realized with a shock that Shalini was not wearing anything underneath her leggings. Feeling that smooth skin, Prayush's breathing turned heavy and ragged.
He began to fondle and squish her peach slowly, separating her cheeks as his fingers began to gently rub her opening.
