Tangled episode 3 [standing between the devil and the blue sea]

                                                TANGLED
EPISODE 1
                   "Yusuf we never had sex, why are you
                     blackmailing me?" She quried disappointedly, tears gathering in her lower eyelid. Slowly, Yusuf moved his head away from her face and stopped to observe her for a while then he smiled mischievously, Bumi trembled at this smile as it immediately sent her down memory lane- three weeks ago to be precise.
                            *       *         *                                
              "Lorrrrd you are more precious than silver
                Lord you are more costly than gold, lord
                Lord you are more beautiful than diamond   There is nothing I desire more than you..." Bumi sang with her eyes tightly shut as brother Yusuf played the piano to synchronize with her melodious voice. He watched as her luscious lips met and parted rhythmically and felt himself choking. Bumi is really beautiful, he thought. He ran his eyes down her knee-lenght gown and for the very first time, he was just noticing how long and straight her legs were. She always his them in those oversized long gowns which she always wore to the church for choir practice. 'Over sized' wasn't actually the word though. He thought. They were just always too long.
                               Tracing his eyes up to her breast, he gasped as he met her eyes. She had been staring at him all these while and that was when he got to know that he had longed stopped playing the piano and was in another different world altogether...

EPISODE 2
                          Ding dong! Ding dong! The door bell rang repeatedly before the door knob suddenly turned and the door stood ajar. Smiling knowingly, Yusuf ushered her in.
                         
               "Sister Bumi, what kind of drink would
                 You prefer? Soft or alcohol?" He asked as he made way to the refrigerator which was positioned against the wall at one corner of the living room.
                  "Yusuf I haven't come here for
                   Pleasantries and you know that" She retorted in a stern calm voice almost whispering. Yusuf made his way back to the couch where Bumni was already seated and sat on an elevated part of it. Slowly he fumbled with her hair, pushing all the braids that had rested on her shoulder backwards to expose her neck. In no time, he could see that delicate neck once more. Tilting his head, he bent over to kiss it but she pushed him away before he could fully bury his head in her neck and gave him this -your-time-is-up- kind of gaze, Yusuf had never seen such a look on her face...

                                                       TANGLED
EPISODE 1
                              The stealthy movement of the garbage man notwithstanding, could still be sensed by Bumi that night. He must be sneaking into the neighbor's compound again to do God knows what. Bumi had observed that he did it more often these past few days.
                              Gently adjusting the blinds, she could  see him from her window piling up stones and other improvise just to climb the fense. It was a short one though but he was just being overly conscious. She hissed in disappointment and went back to her bed. Lying supine, she turned her face to the wall clock hanging at corner of her room- it was just few minutes past midnight. Time must have stopped entirely she wondered and wished it was so-At least she wouldn't have to be awake till this time thinking of what her fate would be tommorow when she finally meets Brother Yusuf. She would have been sleeping and having a good night rest.
                             Swiftly, she grabbed one of her pillows and hugged it tightly allowing the hot tears that had welled up in her eyes to flow freely...
