Hi friends,Thank you so much for all your comments and votes on my previous works. They mean so much to me. I tried to write the below OS on a request, but not sure whether it came out as expected. Please read it and let me know your feedback.

Sai held Virat sir's palm tightly and tried to sleep. She is terrified. She is a brave girl. But, she can manage only humans, not chipkalis or chudails. They are off her limit. She relaxed when she felt his hand caress her head. She smiled softly praying to god that they should stay like this forever and fell asleep.

She opened her eyes slowly when she heard murmurings. She panicked on seeing a dark figure with hairs all over the body stood in front of her with hands like sharp tree roots. She opened her mouth to scream but stopped when that dark figure bent down near to her face and showed its pair of glowing red big eyes. All these years, she stayed in a village but never came across a single chudail but now had seen one in the middle of this big city. Were the chudails shifting to cities as well?

"What... what do you... want?" she managed to ask it.

With its root-like fingers, it pointed to something behind her. She turned slowly and saw the pillow fort. She took a deep sigh.

"You want pillows? How many? We have plenty here anyway." She asked looking back at it. Poor chudail. Must be very uncomfortable to sleep on tree trunks.

The chudail screamed furiously and with one swipe eradicated the fort of pillows. The pillows scattered all over the room. Sai too screamed keeping her hands on the ears. Both stopped screaming after some time and she opened her eyes slowly to see the chudail heaving heavily.

It again pointed its roots behind her and Sai turned back to see Virat sleeping peacefully like a baby. She got angry. She got up from the bed and kept both her hands on her hips. It's her turn to take deep breaths to control her anger. The chudail looked at her questioningly.

"I know, right. How is he able to sleep peacefully when we both are screaming like devils? Oops... Sorry, you are a devil. But, that's the point. He can ignore my screams. But, how can he do this to you? He warns me not to do bezatti to his 'best friend' who wanders around him all the time like a chudail, but he did bezatti to a real one." She stopped talking when the chudail started screaming again.

This time she didn't bother to scream back since what's the point when he is not going to wake up anyway and her throat is too dry to let out a scream. She waited patiently till the chudail stopped its noise. No offense. But its voice sounded like noise. It must have got a severe cold staying in the open air. Maybe she should pack some blankets too? Her thoughts halted due to sudden silence. She looked at the chudail and pursed her lips. Its eyes are no longer red. She felt pity for her. Yeah, it's her. The dress code says it all.

"What do you want?" Sai asked again gently. The chudail turned and looked at Virat.

"Oh, I got it" Sai jumped excitedly and the chudail eyes too sparkled a bit.

"It's girl talk and you don't want to tell in the presence of a male. It's okay, don't worry. He won't wake up. He is the reincarnation of Kumbakarn." Sai said rolling her eyes and the chudail started hitting its head with its root fingers. Sai jumped back so that she won't get poked by those long roots.

When she was about to ask the reason for it's upset, the chudail motioned it's hands to stop. She closed her mouth right away. No need to take chances with a chudail, even if it seemed to be harmless. It signaled her to look carefully at what it is doing. Oh no... this chudail is dumb. She gave a thumbs up in return with a cheesy grin and then wondered how this chudail become dumb – by birth or by death?

The chudail moved like a lightning near to the room wall and stood facing her. It again signaled her to watch and she nodded quickly in agreement. It tapped the wall and words started to appear in the wall neatly in black color. Why it is not red and clumsy? This chudail doesn't see Ekta shows it seems. It is dumb but able to write. So surely, it must have become dumb by accident. Her thoughts got interrupted when she heard an impatient sigh. When she looked up, the chudail indicated her impatiently to read what it has written. Oh, yeah! She totally forgot about the reading part. Not her mistake. Who asked it to write so elegantly?

She looked at the wall and gasped.

"Today is Amavasya and I came to take a virgin." she read and shivered.

"But, I have a test to prepare. I cannot come with you and besides its cold out there" she said in a shrilled voice.

The chudail signaled her to stop and tapped the wall again. The old words dissolved and a new set of the phrase appeared.

"Not you! FYI, I am straight and hence need a virgin boy" she read and started relaxing.

"Goodness! You must try the next door then. There is no virgin boy here. All are married." She clarified. Here, she thought the devil knows everything. But they are dumb. Can't they at least go to the correct address? It spoiled her sleep for nothing. She shook her head disbelievingly. She heard it tapping the wall hard and looked up thinking it must have written a thank you note for directing it to the correct address. But got confused when she read the next words appeared.

It said, 'No, there is still one in this house'

"Who?" she asked immediately since she is curious by birth.

It indicated towards her bed and she gasped.

"Virat sir?" she asked to confirm and it nodded quickly. That's it. No way, she is not going to let some chudail c/o poster lookalike tree steal her husband. It's already heavy competition down here with padosi Pakhi didi.

She screamed no and rushed to her bed. Falling on top of him, she hugged tightly and started shouting at the chudail.

"No way! I am not giving you my husband. Go to your tree or go straight to hell."

"Sai! Sai! What happened?" she opened her eyes to see Virat sir shaking her with a scared look. She got furious and started hitting him hard. He shouted her to stop, but she doesn't care.

"Kumbakarn! How long will you sleep? Can't you even wake up when a devil screams? Have you gone deaf? Good match then – deaf & dumb!"

She could not hit him more because he had held her both hands firmly behind her. Both panted heavily and joined their foreheads to rest.

"What happened, Sai? Have you had any nightmares?" he asked calmly and she blinked. Nightmare? She moved her head away from him and looked all around the room. There is no husband-stealing chudail, no graffiti on the wall, and no pillows scattered around the room. She turned her head to the headboard and found all the pillows neatly stacked up. How? Oh yeah... They never built a wall tonight. So, it's all just a nightmare! She got relaxed and wanted to leave a deep sigh, but could not do so since her chest feels like caged up against his firm chest. She turned back to him and gasped. Why Virat sir is looking very handsome even in the dark night? The chudails are lining up to catch him because of his looks only. No! They are behind him because he is still a virgin. What if the chudail comes in real someday? Oh no! She could not give him up to any chudail, both living and dead.

She pulled her hands from his grip using all her strength. Then, she cupped his face and kissed him suddenly. It was just a peck, but she felt like her heart leaped out of her ribcage. It was wonderful. She looked at his face and he had some crazy expression. Did he not like it? She got confused and dropped her hands. She is not good at reading expressions. Vocabulary is fine. That's why even the chudail gave up on her and started writing in calligraphy.

"What was that for?" he asked shockingly. Yes, she knows shock! That was a very easy one.

She gulped and looked down.

"I don't want you to be a virgin anymore. Hence... did that to you" she mumbled indicating both their lips and tried to pull away from him. 'Did that?' Had she become dumb too? She wondered why she can't tell the word 'kissing'. It seems easier done than said.

He laughed out loud. Had she said something funny? When she looked up confused, he tried to control his laugh by chewing his lips. She had the sudden urge to help him chew it better. Focus Sai! She tried to calm down and breathe.

"You did what to me?" he asked teasingly and she got furious.

"Virat sir! When you know very well what I did to you, why are you asking?" she tried to get up from the bed, but he pulled her back easily. When she glared at him, he held his ears apologetically.

"Sorry... sorry... let me rephrase my question. Why you did 'that' to me?" he asked smiling widely. She wants to punch his face but stopped herself since she doesn't want to hurt his delicious lips. Yes, delicious! Even though it was just a second, she feels like she already got addicted to the taste of his lips. Oh lord... how is she going to survive this hunger? Maybe she could sneak a kiss when he is asleep? Could she tell him that she accidentally smashed her lips on his while sleeping? Would he accept the same reason every night? Maybe she can convince him that this is some particular type of Somnambulism she is suffering from?

Her thoughts got interrupted when he shook her up. She blinked and he smiled. Oh, please. Stop smiling and fueling her desires. He repeated his question. She knows very well that he won't leave her until she answers his question. He is very adamant.

She shrugged his hands off her shoulders and gave him a determined look.

"Congratulations, Virat sir! You are no longer a virgin." She declared in a cheerful tone and he became pale instantly.

"What? When? How? Is that why you were calling me a Kumbakarn before?" he got up from the bed and started checking himself frantically.

She rolled her eyes and signaled him to stop shouting. She doesn't want the padosi didi to wake up and come running here. She is tired and her quota is only one chudail per night.

"What do you mean by when and how? Were you sleeping when I kissed you now?" she asked him impatiently. Kiss! There she said it! Good lord! She felt relieved. For few minutes there, she thought she is losing her vocabulary knowledge.

"Oh, that! You mean you took away my virginity by a kiss?" he asked with more than necessary stretch and unknown expressions. But he was good with words. Did he say she took away his virginity? For some reason, she felt delighted hearing this. She could not help but smile widely. She looked up and he is still looking at her with a raised eyebrow. Oh! She realized that she forgot to answer him. She nodded at him vehemently and he shook his head looking up.

"Your anatomy classes are not started yet, right?" he asked calmly looking back down at her. What? How does he know about her syllabus? And why does he want to talk about her studies now? However, she doesn't want to argue. It's getting late and she wants to sleep. Hence, she just shook her head in denial. In a blink, he fell on top of her and pinned her to the bed. Her breath hitched and she could not concentrate on his eyes since her new favorite part of him is just one inch away.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, my baby. But kissing alone is not enough to take away one's virginity." He whispered near her ear and she gulped. She is shivering under him and her heartbeat seems to be beating with a speed of lightning. She could not understand what exactly is affecting her so much. Is that his proximity or his new nickname for her or the hot breath grazing her ears or the fun fact about virginity? She decided to ask him what more need to be done. She is curious by birth but could not find her voice.

"Do you want to know?" he asked as if reading her mind and she obediently nodded. He smiled softly at her and got closer if that was even possible.

"Sorry, I am not good with words but I can show you how" he whispered seductively and she gulped when she felt hot breath on her already thirsty lips. She regarded it nervously and all of a sudden, she remembered a poem 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost. She is both terrified and excited to explore more on this new thirst of hers. She could back out if she wanted. She knows very well that her husband would let her go if she declined to proceed further, but the trouble here is she wants this and only heaven knows whatever 'this' is. She looked into his eyes and for the first time, she could read him. She could see his love for her and this realization made her tear up. He loves her and only her. How come she didn't realize this before?

Seeing her cry, he panicked and murmured a sorry. He tried getting up off her quickly, but she pulled him back to her right away by clutching onto his t-shirt. As a result, he fell on her back again with a thud and she groaned in pain.

"Sorry... sorry Sai" he replied nervously and to reassure him she gave him a quick peck. He froze and she smiled. She felt happy to know that their kiss affects him as much as it affects her.

"Virat sir! I need to sleep soon and I don't like waiting. Start your lesson already." She whined and he smiled like a Cheshire cat in return.

"Say Goodbye to our sleep and virginity," he said winking. Before she could reply something, he crashed his lips on hers and she went blank. Her only thought before she got lost into oblivion is that she should put a pillow, bedsheet, and a letter stating that 'this house has no more virgins' under the tree as a thanking gift.
