Sameer dipped the last piece of his paratha in spicy coriander dip and moaned in pleasure savouring the bite. "Wow... Mazaa aa gya...",he announced fully satisfied and filled. Nanu laughed at him as very well aware about his crazy love for food, and this time he was having his very favourite but long abandoned aalu ke parathe. This view was not only overwhelming but somehow very satisfying in itself. Hiding from his both kids he slowly wiped the corners of his eyes, got up to leave patting naina's head with lots of blessings. He was about to go, when suddenly Naina remembered something and  smacking her head, said quickly," arey Nanaji, maine kheer banayi hai... Sorry lana bhul gyi... Ap khakar hi jaiye room me..."

"Nhi beta... Thodi thakan si lag rhi hai.. tum rakh do mai baad me kha lunga...",nanu replied, but his tired voice alarmed the couple and they asked almost together,"nanaji... Ap thik hai naa..."

"Haa Nanu, chaliye hum doctor ke pass jate hai...", Sameer added a little worried.

"Arey... Tum dono bhi naa... Kuch nhi hua mujhe... Bas thodi thakan hai.... Thoda rest kaunga bas... Aj to kuch ho hi nhi sakta, aj to bhut khush hu Mai... Aj to Janki...", replying in detail, he referred the name of his beloved life partner, Sameer's naniji, but couldn't complete as his voice choked with emotions.

"Nanu... Aap...", Sameer hugged him tightly as very well guessed his emotions and about to say something but he said in between rubbing his back,"thik hu mai... Tu kha le, mai jata hu room me...." Naina and Sameer both looked at his retreating figure with misty eyes, as all of them felt one step closer emotional bond with each other.

"Arey, tum khadi q ho, kheer to lao...",sameer controlled himself first and said to divert her emotional state.

She looked at him amusingly and went in kitchen, and not more than 5 minutes he was loudly praising the sweet bowl before him. Naina shook her head in disbelief and pursing her smile arched her eyebrows in amazement, as already knew his food love and seeing him eating was a treat in itself, but today he was doing some more.

"Mmmm... Naina.... It's awesome... delicious...",he was exclaiming almost after every spoonful of kheer.

"Umm.. aapko pta hai, jab aapki photo dekhi thi, magazine me, shadi se pehle to nhi lga tha ki aapko khana itna pasand hoga... Par ab jab next time koi photo aayegi naa, to sabko pta chal jayega...",she teased in reply.

"Matlab...",he was too busy in eating and couldn't guess her teasing.

"Matlab...",she filled air in mouth and pursing her lips stopped the blooming smile and raised her brows to him.

He looked at her a bit confused, narrowed his brows and asked," mujhe aisa q lga ki jaise abhi abhi tumne indirectly mujhe mota kha..."

"Indirectly... really... Aisa lga aapko....",she made the most innocent look but kept her palm on mouth to control the loud laughter and took some back steps as knew that soon she would be in a chase.

"Naina, tum... Abhi batata hu tumhe...", His eyes widened in understanding first then ran behind her, but she was quicker than his thoughts and easily dozed him. Kanji looked at her bhaiya bhabhi chasing and teasing each other amazingly, and nanu changed his side on bed with misty eyes and a soft smile of contentment and satisfaction, as could listen that even the walls of his house were now learnt to laugh and whisper the language of love.

He finally caught a hold on her in their room, when she was about to enter in washroom. "Kya kha tumne... Mota ho gya hu mai...", His arms went around her waist and that sudden pull was so strong that with a loud gasp her head almost collided with his chest, but just on right time he controlled the pull.

"Maine... To... Maine...", she was breathless
and breathing heavily she kept her head on his chest for some brief moments. Her hands were fisted his shirt on his shoulder and breaths were uneven due to their chasing game.

Even he was breathless due to run after her. He looked at her, all clinged on him and breathing heavily she was looking irresistibly hot. Her warm breaths were fanning his chest, though over shirt but he could feel the raising temperature of his blood. Her big eyes were set on him, and he felt like she casted some spell on him with her black doe eyes, and like a hypnotized soul he murmured,

"Teri baaho me aaj mujhe bikhar jane de
Mahakti huyi sanso me mujhe utar jane de
Tanha hai hum aur mausam bhi sard hain
Apni saanso me aaj mujhe mehak jane de
Khawabo me tere mujhe aaj bahak jane de.."

He leaned on her shoulders slowly and his one hand move in her hairs pulling the clutch off. The silky masses didn't take more than a second to hide him in, and he nuzzled in her shoulders some more.

Her beautiful lashes veiled the pretty eyes and the pink hue crept up to form the love cocoon around them, just in that moment, he leaned and kissed her eyes softly. His other hand too moved from waist and traced the feminine arch of spine pressing her in himself some more and more and more.

He could see her giving in tgis moment of elementary need, when instead of any doubt or confusion she slowly closed her eyes and a soft smile took place on those pink lips. But he could feel her relaxing and sighing in his arms, when inspite of doing anything more he just kissed her scratched shoulder, mumbled a sorry again and gather her close. Smiling she instantly slipped her hands on his back and hugged him with all her love.

"Aap kavita bhut achi sunate hai...",she said after some minutes of silence.

"Qki mere pass duniya ki sabse khubsoorat inspiration hai...",he replied resting his chin on her head more firmly. "Isse acha kuch ho hi nhi sakta... ", After a long time his every pore was saying the same thing and conflicting. As he knew that he just passed through a weak moment, as he understood that she was ready to go ahead and he himself seen that maroon saree in cupboard, when opened to keep her gifted shirts and jacket in shelf, he knew and he understood too, but somewhere a guilt of ruining her moment of confession last night was eating him up and he had decided to wait more till she again found a moment of her choice. And with all this he could very well feel that slight stiffening in her, and felt more happy and satiated when she relaxed in his arms without any inhibitions. Now he had firmly decided that he would wait for that moment when she would come to him with same ease and comfortability.

There is a thin line between primal need of desires and desiring moment of love. And though he couldn't understand the reason but always wanted to wait for that strong moment of love and not to give up in weak moment of desires. The decision was even easier coz felt her racing heart calming against his chest and that sigh of trust gave him enormous strength stick on his decision.

After few more minutes, he again said,"ab chalein bahar... Meri kheer wait kar rhi hogi..." And she chuckled and nodded a yes.

*********************************

The sun was definitely brighter that day as the whole nature was celebrating his happiness of being with her. He was extra elated when she handed over him some gift packets for nanaji from both of them. They both gave those gifts to nanu. It was one coffee brown kurta and a beautiful embroidered shawl. Though nanu immediately guessed that it was only her idea and pulled his leg for this too, but still he was very happy. A thought that how easily she had adopted his family, his friends and his whole life made him extremely delighted every time. She brought gifts for him, nanu and even Rohan, Deepika and Amrita too, Never for a moment her smile faded when he shopped for his friends, infact she was always there with him, this could be a small thing for her but never failed to mesmerized him with her pure heart and soul.

"Naina... Sorry jaan... Mai to tumhare liye koi gift nhi laya... Actually dhyan hi nhi rha...", hesitatingly he accepted, when after lunch they both laid down together for a little nap.

Though he wanted her to take out for lunch, but she denied coz of nanu's emotional state in morning and didn't want to leave him alone and also they had to leave for Ahmedabad in evening, so they both wanted to spend all the time with nanaji only. Though nanaji had said that they had to go out, but they both were enough stubborn to follow their own decision. And after dinner when nanu went in his room for some rest, they too lead to their room. Naina was folding cloths and arranged in bags, as th had to leave, but he tugged on her hand asked to rest for sometime and finally confessed as really felt bad that he had not done anything to make her new year a special one.

"Mujhe aapse jo chahiye, wo denge...",she asked thinking something.

A corner of his heart had a fairly idea of what she would ask, but knowingly gave in her efforts and nodded a yes. Today She had  done something really special for him. It was not that she wanted to take place of his nani or his mother, but her efforts were to fill the hollow of his heart with her love and care.

"Thik hai, pr yha nhi.. Ghar jakar mangungi, aur aapko dena padega... Promise kijiye...",she got a little excited but thoughtful too and cutely warned him pointing a finger on him and spread her palm before him.

"Jo tum kaho.... Pakka wada... ",He kept his hand on hers, pulled her some more and snuggle in her. From morning she was busy and he got no time with her. And when got, didn't tease her with his advances or proximity, but simply lying with her and cuddled with her. She looked at him lovingly as didn't know when, but he slept too soon, perhaps her soothing heartbeats and rhythmic movement of her fingers in his hairs worked like a pleasant lullaby and he slept calmly. She stood up just after sometime as needed to do packing and wanted to make dinner for nanu before leaving.

It was almost two hours when she came again in the room to wake him up. But seeing his adorable smile couldn't hold back and kissed on his forehead before ruffling his hairs and waking him up.

He woke up with a startle as suddenly remembered that they had a flight to catch. But sighed a relief as he was not late and she already kept the preparations done. After a coffee and snacks, they took a leave from nanu with misty eyes and with a promise of take care of himself. Nanu to loaded them both with lots of take care instructions for themselves and each other.

A return journey was not so exciting like the last one. Though she happily and amazingly looked at the bright interiors of Delhi airport as it was much bigger than Ahmedabad, but of course not at all clueless this time and her questions lessened infact for name sake only. She was a bit tired too and due to this exertion soon slept peacefully in his arms as soon as the settled in their seats.

"Naina.. tum thik ho naa...",he asked a bit worried as didn't know that she had not rested in afternoon.

"Hmmm.... Nind aa rhi h..",she replied in faint sleepy whisper and snuggle in him some more. He looked at her deeply, stroked her hairs nodding a yes and tilting his head rested his cheek on her head. Mentally and Unknowingly he again thanked that God's angel in their last journey as once again his talks got freshen in his mind.

*********************************

The next day, first Monday of year, first working day, after a good festive weekend everyone was returning on work. Even the sun glowed cutting through the fluffy clouds and painted the whole nature in vibrant bright colors. But it all went uneffected as the couple was sleeping peacefully holding eachother very close, nonchalant to the changes of nature. It was a little late from her usual schedule, but around 7:30, the beautiful lady stir and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes fell on him and lips automatically curved upward. To see him first in the morning was the most beautiful experience for her. Her hands moved to trace the sharp outlines of his charming face and reaching up to him, she showered soft kisses on his whole face, her one hand was slipping from his  face to neck and shoulder and other was fisted his t-shirt on shoulder. She was already late but there was no hurry to get up but she was loving him with all the time in hand. Her longing was growing stronger after every kiss and her lips never wanted to leave him. Covering his whole face with her lips she slowly reached to his ears and murmured,"I love you.... Sam..." It was all inaudible but seemed like his heart knew and he smiled even in sleep. Strangely her adventure was a secret as it never disturbed his sleep, but she blushed at her own seeing him smiling in sleep and rushed in the washroom.

"Good morning sweetheart...",he got up when she was combing her hairs and ambling up behind her, he hugged her and greeted.

"Good morning...",seeing his sleepy face through mirror she replied.

"Pta hai aj maine ek bhut khubsoorat sapna dekha....",he was still sleepy, but suddenly remembered something and told her excited. And she just raised her eyebrows in question.

"Maine dekha ki tum... Tum mujhe dher sara pyar kar rhi ho... Bhut sara.. meetha meetha... Ummm...",he kissed hard on her cheek and completed,"aisa wala... Aur fr I love you bhi bola..." He was speaking in his own dreamland and her eyes were widening with every word. Palpitations grew in anxiety and sweat beads shone on forehead. She turned in his arms with a jerk and asked,"aap jaag rahe the...."

"Jaag rha tha... Matlab... Sapna kaun jagte huye dekhta h...", definitely he was in still in effect of sleep or it was not difficult to caught her.

She sighed as realized he was actually talking about some dream and exhaling the nervousness out said softly," ab sapne se baha aaiye, aur ready ho jaiye... Office nhi jana... " He instantly shook his head in no she chuckled,"jaiye... Ready ho jaiye.. mai upar jakar room dekhkar aati hu... Saman bhi shift karna hai naa..." She said pushing him towards washroom.

"Uhu... Pehle btao Mera sapna pura kab hoga...",he was one of his kind and aaked sulking and pulling her hair strands.

"Ho jayega... Jaldi hi shayad... Ab jaiye...",she knew he would not go until she reply, and saying so she pushed him in washroom almost.

After pulling his clothes from cupboard and giving some quick instructions for breakfast and lunch, she went upstairs to see the well prepared room. Her legs stopped on the threshold only seeing the beautiful decor of the room. Radhe and kanchan di had done a great job as every corner was shining Clean. Even kanchan di had managed to keep some of their packed bags from storeroom to here in room. She was looking everything mesmerizingly when he again reached to caught her thoughts, and asked seeing her a little lost," kya ho gya... Kha khoyi ho... Sab thik hai naa...."

She jerked looking at him, but nooded to assure him and turning her side wiped the corner of her eyes. But obviously he noticed and asked pulling her closer,"arey... Ye kya... Kya hua bolo..."

"Kuch nhi... Bas ek purani baat yaad aa gyi thi...",she knew him, so replied softly.

He looked at her deeply, understood what it could be that her eyes got wet, and didn't want to make her more uncomfortable, so just nodded.

"Naina... Sab kuch ek baar me hi shift karne ki jarurat nhi h... Sara kuch dheere dheere aaram se karna... Koi jaldbaji nhi hai... Hum kuch dino baad bhi shift ho sakte h..",he explained her thoroughly when they were in their way of her college first, and she was about to say something when added again,"waise bhi maine kuch photos ko enlarge aur frame karne ka bola hai... Jab sab ho jayega, hum tabhi upar jayenge... Mujhe aise aadhi adhuri chize nhi pasand.." with all the caring instructions he stopped the car and bid a bbye hugging her softly.

*********************************

"Are naina... Meri yellow wali t-shirt kha rakhi hai, dikh nhi rahi...",he asked her looking for his t-shirt in cupboard. She had just entered in the room with his coffee.

"Mujhe nhi pta... Jo dikh rahi hai wo pehen lijiye... Waise bhi aadha saaman upar chala gya hai, to kuch dhyan nhi...",she replied thoroughly, but he felt her a bit annoyed or miffed.

He looked at her alarmed, but thinking something kept his mouth pursed and wore the blue one instead.

It was evening time. He came a little late as lots of files were waiting for him. And she too remained busy for the whole day, first in college then arranging the room. He noticed her irritated mood and tired face, but thought it due to the hectic schedule, but it was really difficult to ignore when she was continuously anxious on dinner even, and jerked his hand when he asked her to sit in porch for sometime after dinner. He looked at her deeply, a little worried now and thinking something tugged her hand and pulled her upstairs in their room.

"Naina... Kya hua hai sweetheart... Kab se dekh rha hu... Koi baat pareshan kar rhi h kya... Mujhe nhi btaogi...", he asked settling in the floor bed holding her in his arms safely. His honey like sweet voice melted in her ears and for some unknown reason to him, her eyes welled up and even some tears spilled. Seeing her tears he became even more restless, "kya hua hai Naina... Bolo naa please..." He hugged her tightly.

"Kuch nhi... Bas aise hi... Halka sa pain hai pet me...",she replied calmed and soothed in his embrace.

"Pain...",he mumbled and added worried now,"btaya q nhi tabse... Chalo utho doctor ke pass jate h...",he tried to get up tugging on her hand.

"Are nhi baat to suniye...",she immediately hold him and said,"wo shayad periods aane wale hai, isiliye aise...  ummm, mujhe bhut mood swings bhi hote hai, aur bhut gussa aata hai... ", She tried to brush away his tension.

"Periods... Pr tumhe to 12 ko huye the... To abhi to dus din baki hai... Itna pehle se aate hai mood swings...",he had still some knowledge remained to gain.

"Wo... Mujhe 4-5 din pehle start hote hai pichhle mahine se... Aur usse kuch pehle ye sab symptoms...",she hesitated a bit but then shared comfortably. He squinted his eyes tried to recall her behavior of this time period in last month, but remembered that actually he was in Mumbai for this whole time and her tripping moods over phone call made a come back in his memories.

"Ye sab pakka normal hai naa... Nhi to kal chalte hai Dipti aunty ke pass...",he wanted to be sure this time. And she nodded in assurance and mumbled,"hmm... Don't worry..."hiding herself in him completely.

"Kya don't worry.. Pta hai kitna daata hai tumne aj mujhe... Itna to kabhi school me bhi daat nhi padi.. Pta nhi aage pure week me kya hoga..",puffing his mouth he sulked to tease her, but tightened his hold on her when she tried to see him.They sat there for sometime in each other's arms silently observing and listening to each other's heart.

******************************

The next day was almost same. Started with love but some of her scoldings too, and they both remained busy in their respective work ground. The only difference was that Sameer Maheshwari stepped in his own house praying for himself as he was late and considering her mood swings it could be injurious for his well being. But sighed in relief, when she didn't show any sign of irritation and before she changed her mind, quickly hold his ears and said sorry for being late. She narrowed her eyes, seen his gesture and ruffled his hairs smiling on his cuteness.

It's not that fearing her mood, he stayed away from her, but like every other day used to tease her and showered her with all his love. The only thing that he tried to do that kept his mouth pursed when she was outbursting for something.

**********************************

Seemed like weather was also changing according to her mood, coz it sometimes sunny and hot and sometimes brisk and cold. He caught a little cold due to this and ended up sneezing and sniffing all the time. She made him a ginger basil potion but, a little tensed now, coz after a phonecall he rushed to the office, infact couldn't drop her even. Though mumbling a sorry and asking to go by auto, but somehow her heart was not on peace. Even in college she was not on peace and seeing her lost all the friends started to tease.

Their Delhi trip, they never got time to discuss, but was a very meaningful one. He not only got much patience for her but started to feel much closer affinity than earlier, with her. And she got really very responsible or protective would be the better explanation for him. His pains pained her more than him since always, but now it grew from 10 to 100 automatically. And that kept her restless all the time in college, and somehow she waited till the last bell and rushed outside to call him immediately unknown to the fact that a surprise, no not surprise but a shock was waiting for her on the gate.

"Kamal bhaiya, ye kya hai...",she was about to pass by that brand new car, but his driver Kamal waiting beside that, caught her attention and she asked him still clueless about everything.

"Bhabhiji, ye Sameer sir ne.... Aur ye diya hai aapke liye...", instead of explaining he extended his hand with a envelope.

She restlessly opened the envelope and a small note slipped out. Till then her friends too gathered behind her.

"Hey sweetheart,

Tumhara new year gift... due tha naa... Jo tumhe chahiye wo bhi le lena, lekin ye meri taraf se... Bhut pehle hi order ki thi but aj aayi, so thoda late ho gya...

Waise to mai khud aana chahta tha,aur tumhari pyari si hasi dekhna chahta tha, lekin ek urgent kaam se Rajkot jana pad rha hai... Waise acha hua naa ki aj aa gyi, ab auto se nhi jana padega tumhe....

Agar tumhare friends treat maange to chali jana, maine kanchikura me bolkar rakha hai.. Enjoy your day jaan, mai sham ko milta hu... Koshish karunga jaldi aane lekin fikar mat karna agar late ho jau...

Love you..

The gift was beautiful, his letter was loving but failed to lure her. She asked Kamal restlessly,"aap yha hai to wo... Wo kiske saath gye hai .. unki gaadi kaun drive karega..."

"Ji sameer sir khud hi chala kr gye hai...",his answer made her more perplexed.

She wanted to talk to him immediately, but he was out of town that too driving on his own in his not so well condition. All facts together were enough to scare her. But before she could say something more, as per his presumption her friends started to ogle and asking for a treat.

"Nhi kamya... Mujhe abhi ghar jana hai... Agar wo call karenge to... Waise bhi unke bina is tarah se party karna... Dekh naa, unki tabiyt kharab thi, aur itni dur chale gye khud se gaadi chala kar.. mai kya ek din auto me nhi ja sakti thi...",she was really very tensed, and sensing her restlessness her friends too nodded in understanding and hugging her kamya tried to calm her.

"Haa Naina... Tu ghar jaa... Hamara kya hai, hum kabhi bhi party le lenge...",she patted her cheeks and unwillingly Naina sat in that car to reach home at earliest possible.

************************************

Rubbing her hands together she was walking near main door in his wait. He called her once before leaving that office and said that he would reach in three hours maximum, but it was now almost four hours, and he was not in sight. She didn't know what to do other than praying and hoping for the best. The clock ticked on 11:30 and her outer strong shell was about to break, when finally heard the horn of his car and run to open the door.

He looped his hand around her shoulders as this was as natural as breathing for them, but looking at him, infact tracing his shoulders and arms restlessly she asked,"aap thik hai naa... Itni der q huyi..."

"Ha sweetheart, bilkul thik hu... Actually gaadi puncture ho gyi thi to thoda late ho gya... Aur fr koi PCO bhi nhi dikha ki tumhe call karta... Sorry dear...",he softly replied.

"Kya jarurat thi akele jane ki... Kamal ko lekar jana tha naa... ",Her eyes were ready to pour.

"Are pr tumhari car....",he tried to say but she didn't let him complete and added, this time angry too,"car... Bhaad me gyi wo car... Maine kha tha aapse car ke liye.... Ek to pehle hi tabiyt kharab thi, upar se itni dur chale gye... Akele... Khud hi drive karna bhi jaruri tha... Aap... Aapko kuch samajh me bhi aata hai ki kya....", her angry but caring scolding, for this he could do all the absurd things for his whole life, but stopped her making a cute sulking face," Naina... Daat baad me khila lena... Pehle khana khila do.. bhut bhuk lagi hai..."

Naina slapped her forehead as realized that in her anxiety she was skipping a very important work of giving him food. And said quickly," haa... Sorry mai... Aap fresh hokar aaiye, mai garam karti hu khana..."

"Ummm.... Naina, khana room me hi le aaogi please...",he was feeling very tired but escaping to admit as knew that she would be more tensed. Naina looked at him and nodded in understanding.

After sometime she entered in the room with a big tray in hand with one plate food but enough to feed two people. He smiled understanding her gesture, though told her on call not to wait for him and had her dinner, but knew that she would never eat without him. Though this was not a very appreciative gesture from his point of view, but still made him feel a affinity, the belongingness.

After getting the dinner complete, she stood up to go in kitchen to keep the tray back, and he got up to wash his hands but flinched a little and his hands went on his waist. Naina saw him and asked immediately," kya hua..."

"Kuch nhi, bas thoda sa backpain ho rha h..",he replied and stretched his shoulders and arched his back backwards.

"Janti thi mai.... Pehle hi tabiyt thik nhi thi, aur fr itni der tak gaadi chalana... Ho gya na ab pain... Agar tabiyt nhi thik thi, to raat ko whi ruk jana tha naa...",she walked to him immediately, but couldn't help as her hands were full, but outbursted suddenly.

"Haa... Galti ho gyi mujhse, nhi aana chahiye tha... Lekin aaya, tumhare liye, qki naa tumhe akela chhodna chahta tha aur naa tumhare bina wha mai akele reh pata... Lekin tum shayad reh sakti ho... Anyways, you need not to worry about me, i will take care of myself................ Jaise hamesha karta aaya hu...",he said last line after a long pause and his tone went lower. Though never wanted to shout on her, knew that she was saying everything in his care, but couldn't digest that she was ready to stay without him for the whole long night and unwillingly end up shouting on her. He looked at her for a long moment after completing and before walking out in the washroom and closed the door loudly.

Her hands trembled a little, when realized his frustration and cursing herself looked at the banged door of washroom and moved to reach to the kitchen.

"Ye dhundh rahe hai naa... ",After 5 minutes when she entered the room, he was looking for something in table drawers opening and shutting them loudly. And she extended her hand with a tube of pain relief balm. "Aaiye, mai lga deti hu...",she completed sweetly.

He was looking for that only, but not accepted verbally, and infact stood turning his back to her. She didn't understand what he wanted to do, and said," aise kaise lagau... Aap let jaiye, fr lga deti hu..."

"Nhi lagwana... Mai thik hu... Nhi chahiye mujhe kuch bhi...",he walked to the bed and laid down switching off the light.

She understood that he was still angry and thinking something switched on the lights sat beside him on her knees and said holding her ears,"sorry... Mera wo matlab nhi tha... Lekin aapko itna dard me dekha to... Please dawai lagwa lijiye, baad me daat lijiyega, jitna dil kare... Please..." Of course the cuteness and sweetness overloaded to ignore and he just hold her hands and making a sulking face pulled her softly for a hug.

After a few seconds she pulled back, and said,"Aap t-shirt nikal kar let jaiye, mai ye lga deti hu..."

"Kya... T-shirt nikal ke...",he was shocked.

"Toh... Aur kaise lagaungi.... Jaldi kijiye naa...",she said again.

"Are you sure Naina...",he sat down and asked again pulling the hem of his t-shirt up.  And she just nodded in assurance.

Though she nodded a yes, but shuddered instantly when he pulled off his t-shirt. Her eyes widened as suddenly realized the meaning of his frowns. She herself said him to do this but now seeing him like this was clouding her mind. She realized that she was not going to apply that balm on his head or hand, but he had a backpain and his bare abs, waist and back muscles would be under her hand. The thought of touching him this intimately was alone enough to send chills in her whole body. Her palms got wet and cold sweat beads shone on forehead.

"Kya hua naina...",he asked as not felt any touch for a long time.

"Kuch nhi... Ye tube... Haa khul gyi...",she replied thanking to God that his back was facing her and he couldn't see her expressions.

She gasped when applied balm on his back, and rubbed her shivering palm in a circular motion traced his spine. It was difficult not only for her, but an enthralling experience for him too. He too shuddered on her first touch, and bit his lip to hold back any sound. She got goosebumps when traced his shaped waist, But soon her caring instinct took over the hesitation and applying gentle pressure she continued. Her soft palms and heating effect of balm definitely soothed his taut muscles and he groaned and moaned softly in relief and asked her to stop. She still took some time to complete and went in washroom to wash her hands.

"Uff... Ye to so gye, ab kya karu...",the main problem arised when she came back from the washroom and saw him sleeping on his stomach peacefully. To apply that medicine was something else but to sleep beside him like this was really difficult. But seeing no other way, she pulled the blanket over him.
She gasped on thought, shuddered when sat and her belly fluttered violently when laid beside him. She squeezed shut her eyes, but shamelessly her eyes were going on him again and again. She felt herself burning in slow heat that started to emit from his skin and reaching in the pit of her stomach. She was so used to sleeping in his arms that her whole being craved for them, and the ache started to rise in anticipation. She turned her side and tried to sleep while he was facing her back, but even it was not looking possible as her heart was revolting her own decisions. She turned again to face him and the butterflies in her belly started to do somersaults. His bare torso, wide expanse of shoulders and tight muscles of abs, it was altogether like a onslaught on her senses.

She was still in her thoughts, when groaning softly he seeked for her hand in sleep and shifting a little her side, pulled her closer and tightened his hold around her, as sleeping with her in arms was natural for him too, and even in sleep he reached for her. With a loud exhale, she pulled like a doll, her hands that were already itching to touch to feel him rested on his chest now. And Somehow controlling herself she closed her eyes and finally the sleep took over.

*********************************

It seemed like weather too changing according to their mood. And pleasantly cool breeze with bright sunshines welcomed him next day, when he opened his eyes. He shifted a little to detangle himself from her, when suddenly realized the position he was infact they were sleeping in. His eyes widened and all the memories of night came back, when saw her sleeping on himself peacefully. Her head was on her chest and hand around waist. This was her usual posture, but today her warm breaths fanning his skin, her soft fingers teasing her waist and her soft lips brushing against his chest. His whole body throbbed with a sudden need and heart thumped to come out of lungs. He never wanted to do something that he regreted later, and for this he tried to clear the fog from his mind, when suddenly felt a stir in her.

"Naina ko kya feel hoga jab wo hume aise...", though he didn't want to do anything that caused uncomfortability between them, but nothing could stop his mischievous thoughts. And a naughty glint sparkled in his eyes in anticipation to see her reactions and he closed his eyes and laid quietly.

Naina opened her eyes and shivered when saw herself clinging on his bare chest, but she had her part of gasps and shuddering in night itself, so, looked at his face first like her every other morning, and slowly traced the outlines of his face, rubbed her thumb on his cheekbone and reached up to shower her love in form of soft kisses, but her Lip moved downwards automatically even she couldn't understand.

It was like a sudden assault for him, he couldn't even stir and infact trying his every nerve to keep his heart beats in control, but frowned too as she was all comfortable and confident. It didn't seem like first time and he could sense her habitual gesture. But soon his assault turned into torture, when her soft fingers brushes against his abs and she reached to trace his pectoral muscles. He shuddered sensing her warm breaths on his torso and her palm rubbed on his manly nipples. His hands itched to grab her and body reacted on instant. He threw his head back on pillow in pleasure and chewed his lips. She pulled back for a moment, but seemed like his miseries hadn't ended and she once again leaned on him. Recalling his soft but burning open mouth kisses on herself, she tried to do the same and placed some open mouth kisses on his collar bone.

Her body too craved for more, and it was totally desire, that her lips not wanted to leave his skin, her hands wanted to explore his every pore and she wanted to bury herself in him. She kissed her madly, deeply and passionately, but knowingly or unknowingly she didn't know. It was more difficult for her to control herself  comparatively to other days, but somehow managed to pull back, and rested her head on his chest for a moment breathing heavily.  Sameer didn't know whether he should sighed in relief or whimper in demand, but he himself was surprised as from where managed to gather the courage to control himself.

She relaxed on his chest and got up to leave, come to his face once again, kissed her forehead and whispered,"I love you... Sam... Roz kahte hai bolo, aur jab bola to hosh hi nhi tha... Kisne kha tha itni pine... Jaiye ab nhi bataungi... But fr bhi, I love you so much... Mere sam... Uhu, pagal....",she nuzzled his nose with hers, kissed softly and ran in washroom.

"Ye kya tha yaar...",as soon as she entered in washroom, he sat down, took some deep breaths and tried to understand everything. Her kisses and exploring himself was a different thing, but her last confession shook him most. "Usne bola tha, lekin kab... Maine kab itni...oh shit...",he tried to think and his eyes widened on sudden realisation.  "Ahh... Rohan i will kill you...",he wanted to kill Rohan to give him that drink, but wanted to kick his ass too. He dropped his head in his palm.

He was in his thoughts when she appeared from the washroom, freshly bathed in the scents of lilies. Some water drops still tucked on her naughty hair flicks. She frozed at her place seeing him awake and thanked her stars as today choosen a Patiala suit, that she had wore in washroom itself. He was looking all calm as she couldn't guess that he found her secret. And wishing a good morning moved towards dressing table somehow failed to see the darkening eyes.

He was already in zone of her burning kisses and now her enticing sight enthralled him. He got up, and walked to reach her and without any prelude, just turned her holding hee shoulders and pulled to press her in himself closer. Instinctively her hands reached on his shoulders and eyes wandered on bare chest.

"Mmm... Naina....",he couldn't say more but whispering and groaning leaned on her face. She gasped sensing the urgency in his body language.

Her hands moved from his shoulder to back and bunched up in his hairs with an strange urgency. She moaned softly as his lips trailed her neckline but this moaning went louder when moving his one hand on her back, he traced her spine and pulled the zipper of her dress just a little and his other hand found the slits of her kurti and moved in on her waist. Her knees gave up and she clinged on him some more and he tightened the hold some more. Sliding the kurti a little from her shoulder, he continued his assaults on her shoulder. His eyes glittered seeing the silky creamy skin of her shoulder and groaning loudly he moved his burning lips on her shoulder. Her whole body throbbed in anticipation. Heart raced violently and moaning loudly she almost digged her nails on his back.

His big palm rested on her belly traced her waist and moved upwards touching the lace. This time his fingers dared to cross the threshold of elastic and his other hand too moved in from back and traced the clasp of her lace. Her soft but warm body was in his arms, all surrendered to him and all aroused he was not at all in his senses now. The elemental need was taking over. Her velvety soft skin, feminine scents and burning desiring moans kept him dazed. His hungry gaze and soft exploration was enough to entice her. He didn't want to but wanted her to control him somewhere and she didn't know how to control herself, forget about him.

To see her, to feel her, to touch her and to love her, the primal need was taking shape in his every action. He could feel her warm breaths on his chest, he could see the desire in her eyes and he could read the need in soft movements of her breasts and hips. The want to get more and more made him sliding the kurti a little more revealing the outline of her swells. Her hand itched to cover herself but the glitters of his eyes were so enticing to loose. His eyes glittered, and he moved a hand eagerly. His hand moved reading the clasp on her back and pulled to open it. And other hand reached to read it he just traced his thumb on that exposed part.

"Ohhh...", She moaned as an unknown pleasure shot in her every nerve. Her softness lured him at his most and arching her back with a gentle pressure he kept his lips on that. "Mmmmm... Naina....",he groaned loudly and pulled her other side of kurti too. They were almost in a no look back condition when she opened her eyes for a briefest moment and seeing something mumbled softly, "Nhi please.. darwaja.... Darwaja thik se band nhi...",she had still some senses to see and realised that the door was not latched properly and with great difficulty she somehow passed the information.

His trans broken by her voice and he immediately pulled back as somewhere his heart was telling him to stop. And he knew that it still had some time to get her. She collapsed on his chest breathing heavily and he wrapped his arms around her softly but firmly. Slowly calming himself he helped her with her cloths and said,"I love you Naina... Mai thoda... Sor..."

She knew he was about to say sorry, when quickly pulling back from his chest she nodded a no and smiled. Seeing her smiling comfortably he too relaxed a bit. Though she was not fully comfortable but didn't let him know and the trust in her heart for him was comforted her soon.

"Naina.. ek baat khu...",he said thinking something and she just hummed in response still wrapped in his arms.

"Tum janti ho naa ki tum mujhse sab kuch share kar sakti ho...",he said and added when she pulled back and looked at him a bit confused,"mera matlab hai, apne dil ki har baat, har confusion... Matlab agar tumhe kuch samajh nhi aa rha to mujhse puchh sakti ho, aur agar meri koi bhi baat buri lage to bta sakti ho aur agar kabhi kuch sahi naa lage to mna bhi kar sakti ho...",he explained really well to make her understand and more comfortable with himself. Even in all this he never failed to notice that she had not denied for anything but just asked to latch the door.

Later after breakfast when they were on their way to their respective destination, she was a little more pink than ever, as not noticed in those heated moments, but later everything made a comeback in her memory and she blushed profusely still feeling his lips and hands everywhere and the blush went some shades deeper remembering her loud moans and wandering hands on him. But just opposite to her he was in his most cheerful mood today and not leaving any chance to tease her, everytime deepening her blush and widening his smile.

"Naina... Ek min...",he tugged her hand when after their customary hug she waa about to go, and remembering something he stopped her and pulled closer. She raised her eyebrows in question when he added,"ek baat kahni hai..." She looked at him questioning again.

"Ummm... Mai pagal to hu... Tumhara pagal, aur ab tumhare pyar me pagal...",he completed leaning on her, and in last nuzzled her nose and kissed softly on it.

She didn't get it and descended absentmindedly. He bid a goodbbye reversing the car and touched and tapped his own nose, signalling her something. She looked at him confusingly, when a sudden realisation dawned her. Yes, yes he had done the same gesture, she did in morning and that's why tapped his nose too. "Hey bhagwanji... Matlab... Matlab unko... Unko sab pta chal... Hey Bhagwan... Ab... Ab kya karu mai... ", Mortified she was busy in talking to herself when Kamya saw her, and dragged her inside.

**********************************

Naina was in their room upstairs, giving the final touches. Tonight they could sleep here as the room was arranged properly, photos had delivered and hanged too. She was a bit confused or embarrassed in college knowing that her secret was out now, but with time excitement took over the embarassment. Tonight they were about to sleep in this room and it could be special too. She wanted to make the moment special and eagerly completed the arrangements. She didn't know that what was about to come next, but his comforting talks of morning soothed her worries and she knew that he was there to uphold her and make her understand everything. She had firmly decided that if he already knew and still waiting for her to say even after hearing from her mouth already then she too confessed now. As it was getting too much now and she wanted him to tell everything.

Lost in her dreamland, she was arranging the last batch of books, when the shrill sounds of phone broke the reverie, and thinking it of him she quickly picked up the reciever and said a sweet hello.

It was not more than two minutes when her eyes widened with horror, colour flushed from face, lips shivered and hands lost the strength to hold the reciever even. The receiver slipped from her hands and leaving a dangerously pale colour she collapsed on floor. "Sunaina...", Her lips shivered and a whisper escaped.

*********************************

Sameer entered in the house with an extra pleasant mood, but frowned when instead of her Radhe opened the door. He asked for Naina and headed upstairs when Radhe informed that she was there in room.

"Naina...",he entered the room and called her name when saw her busy with a pen and notebook.  "Kuch important kaam hai kya...",he asked.

She jerked and looked at him for a long time, then stood up nodding a no. She went in dressing room to bring his change, but he took a back in the moment when she looked at him and he looked in her eyes.  The emptyness, a scare, a terror, a hollow, whatever it was, but something was definitely not right, her eyes was extremely pale, lifeless almost and for a moment haunted him even. He observed her when silently she headed towards dressing room, without even greeting him properly, not even asked for water to him. He walked and saw the notepad for some clue, but it had nothing, but she had just drawn some random lines on that. He was thinking to ask when she appeared with his clothes and said him to change and she headed to bring his coffee.

He didn't understand what to do, as at one side she was doing everything normally but its only him who could smell something extremely wrong with her." She had already having terrible mood swings, is that something about that...",he was thinking every possible thing and after changing his clothes while having coffee tried to ask too, but she just shook her head in no.

*********************************

Sameer was looking at her keenly, trying to understand. They were on dinner table, and she was serving him. Before that he sat with her in balcony of their room but frowned when she didn't relaxed in his arms or cuddled in him. Tried to ask again, but she couldn't tell anything. And now on dinner table, her hands were badly shivering, she gasped and kept the spoon in bowl like no strength to hold that. This was too much now, he couldn't bear or wait more, and pulling her hand he reached in room almost dragging her.

"Naina... Naina.. dekho idhar...",he cupped her face softly and made her look at himself.

"Kya hua hai, sweetheart... Dekho ab ye mat kahna ki koi baat nhi... Kuch baat to hai... Bolo naa jaan, kya hua hai.. kisi ne kuch kha kya... Dekho tum mujhse sab share kar sakti ho...",he was really very tensed and scared now and asked softly.

She started to break down, breathing heavily stammered something. Though she tried to say but her voice choked with hiccups and she started to sob, and she couldn't, but just then thinking something he again said,"Naina.. kahi tum subah wali.. Naina... I am...."

"Nhi...",she immediately shook her head in no and somehow in between her hiccups and sobs she said,"phone..."

"Phone... Phone aaya tha... Kiska phone aaya tha... Kya hua naina... Kisne kya kha....",he tried to ask some more and dived in his memory to find some connected dot too,"please naina.. bolo naa.. kiska phone...",her hiccups, her tears, her sobs, the trembles everything were making him extremely restless. And scared he asked again.

"Phone...  Sunaina... Mummyji...",she was very scared and couldn't even say a proper sentence.

"Mummyji... Mummy.. mummy ka call aaya tha...",he mumbled and asked,"kya kha unhone... Bolo naina... For god sake, speak up something..."

"Sunaina... Aap... Aapko usse shadi... Mujhse to kabhi karna hi.... Q kiya fr... Sirf nanaji ke liye... Q... Aap mujhse nhi usse.... Q nhi btaya... Mujhe nhi... Q... Ye shadi.. ye sab...",she couldn't arrange proper words to form a sentence and jolted him holding his collars. All this was enough to make him understand but hurt him too.

"Naina... You trust me naa... Haa, bolo... You trust me naa...",he hold her shoulders and asked softly but very hopefully. "Come on, speak up damnit... You trust me or not..."but ended up shouting loudly.

She was silently looking at him on this, not dared to reply even, and seeing her that silent his love hurt, his hope crashed and anger shot up. And pushing her back lightly went in balcony locked the door in between. She jerked off as came in senses on that loud bang of door and collapsed on floor.
