Anamika was really annoyed with Vineet's behaviour. She was already anxious because the incident happened in the washroom and now her husband is making fun of her situation. 

She glares at him and turns to go but he holds her hand and stands up with the support of the bed. He moves in front of her.

''Tum toh gussa ho gayi yaar, main toh masti kar raha tha bas!'' He says making a puppy face. 

Anamika scoffs rolling her eyes,''tumhe sab majak laag raha hai? Main already itni pareshan hun tabse ye soch ke ki wo sab mera vahem kaise ho sakta hai aur ek tum ho jo iss tarah ki harkat kar rahe ho.'' She shouted. 

Vineet squeezed her hand lightly,''I'm sorry na please!! Main toh tumhara mood thik karne ki koshish kar raha tha bas, sorry na!'' He says apologetically while pressing her hand between his hands. 

Anamika gazes at him angrily.

''Aise nahi dekho na! Aab kya apne honeymoon pe main apni biwi se majak bhi na kar sakta?? Aise toh naa karo mere saath, please!'' Vineet spoke, like a five year kid as he placed his head on her shoulder while wrapping his arms around her.

Anamika sighs, she knows his intentions weren't to disturb her mentally, he was just playing along but she's scared of whatever happened in the washroom as he already said that he wasn't there and she was sure of someone's presence around her. She doesn't know how to explain or convince Vineet for the same because she knows he won't believe her at any cost.

She looked at him, who was still making cute faces.

''Vineet, tumhe sach mei lagta hai wo mera vahem tha?'' She questions, he stands straight and looks at her. 

''Haan, baba!! Tum toh piche hi padd gayi uss baat ke! Chodo usse, abhi jao fresh ho jao meine coffee order kar di hai.'' He told her, trying to convince that it was her delusion only. 

Anamika takes a deep breath but agrees, she heads to the washroom silently. Vineet watched her going and sighs.

He needs to fix things before it's too late. She's hallucinating again! 

It Has been three years since that horrifying incident which almost ruined her life. She lost her real self, mental stability and everything she had as a bubbly person. 

***

Three years back, Anamika's best friend attempted suicide and she couldn't help her even being in the same apartment. These affected her alot mentally and  emotionally. 

She has hallucinations, she sees her friend everywhere and tries to save her, in the process she had Injured herself many times and at a point her family had to admit her in asylum as they were not being able to control her. 

At that time he was in Bangalore for some office work but when gets to know about her, he didn't waste even a second and returned to her though his family warned him not to meet or talk about her, little did they know that they can't stop him. He came running all the way leaving all his work for her - - his childhood love! He can't let her suffer alone. 

He brought her home and took care of her by himself. It was only his love and care that she recovered fast just in a year though that one year feels like a century to him. 

Even after her recovery his parents refuse to accept her but he still married her and convinces his family that she's totally fine and they won't face any problem. 

But it seems, shesh again on the same lane. The way she gets angry and then calmed in seconds and also the washroom incident, it all must be her hallucinations which feels real to her.

**

Vineet came out of his trance with a knock on the door. He opens the door and finds a lady with the coffee, she places the mugs on the table and takes her leave. Vineet stares at the cup and sighs deeply.

He headed towards their luggage and took out a small bottle - - medicine bottle!

He mixed a tablet in her coffee and keeps the medicine at it's place. 

Meanwhile Anamika enters the room, he smiles at her, grinning.

''I hope you weren't dreaming about me again!'' He says teasingly to which she throws the towel on him which was in her hand.

''Bakwas na karo tum jyada nahi toh tumhe couch pe shift karne mei time na lagega mujhe!'' She warns him, rolling her eyes. 

She moves to the huge mirror to set her hair, Vineet ran to her and hugged her from behind.

He places his head on her shoulder and smiles naughtily while looking at her image in the mirror.

''I don't mind!! Waise bhi main gaya toh tumhe toh leke hi jagunga, wo kya hai na couches are more comfortable and satisfying for romancing!!'' He smirks, saying so, Anamika was left with an open mouth.

She slapped on his arm,''chii!! Tum toh paagal hi ho gaye bilkul!! Romance ke siwa kuch sujh hi nahi raha tumhe, kuch kaho toh sidha issi pe pahuch jaate ho!'' She pushes him away. 

Vineet laughed at her words,''arey!! Wahi karne toh aaye hai yahan itna kharch karke. Aur tum toh jaanti ho mujhe, main apna kaam adhura nahi chodta phir ye toh mera favourite hai aise kaise na sochu uske liye!'' He reasoned and winked at her, Anamika looked at him in amusement.

''Tumse toh dur hi rehna padega aab mujhe nahi toh tumhara kya bharosha, hum aaye do aur teen na jaana paade! Mujhe itni jaldi na chahiye kuch!'' She exclaims, making faces which makes him laugh harder. 

He holds her hand and pulls her such that she dashed to his chest.

He holds her by her waist while his other hand rests on her cheek.

''Don't worry jaana, aisa na hone dungi main wo bhi itni jaldi. Mujhe apni azaadi pyari hai filhal, itni aasani se apna number na katne dena meine!'' He started caressing her cheek. 

Anamika pushes him away,''hatto tum, tumhari baatein sunke main paagal ho jayungi.'' She says and moves to the other side, Vineet follows her. 

They settle to the couch and take their coffee mugs. Vineet tries to be cozy but she pushes him away, after a few points he stops and concentrates on his coffee while glancing at her through the corner of his eyes. She looks much calm and relaxed now, Vineet smiles lightly. 

Savouring their coffee they stepped in the pool side as she wanted to spend some time there.

He made two drinks and handed over a glass to her. She took the glass and stepped in the water with him. She sips a little from the glass and smiles, being in water she feels much relief. She places her hand on the edge and looks around, the clear blue sky, the fresh air and the sound of soft music in the background is so soothing. She closes her eyes to feel the soft air kissing her face. 

She opens her eyes when his hand rests on her waist from the back. He caressed her cheek with his cheek. She leans on his chest and places her hand over his. 

''Thank you for everything Vineet! Thanks for always being there for me!'' She exclaims, caressing his upper palm with her thumb under the water.

She feels so blessed to have him by her side, who supported and loved her more than her family. When they left her hand and sent her to asylum to get rid of her, it was he who brought her back to her real self. He never did it as a responsibility but for love. She can't thank him enough for all the love he showered on her.

Vineet made her turn and cupped her face.

''Tum kabse itni formal hone laggi? I did it all for me, for my love, for my life, for my own self. I should thank you for helping me bring my love back to me. You don't need to thank me jaan! I love you and you love me, that's all what matters to me! Bhul jao wo sab, purani baatein yaad karke kya faida hai.'' He stated, holding her close to him.

Anamika hugged him without uttering a word, he's right but she can't forget all that. It was so sorrowful, it broke her and even her family left her. Sometimes she wonders, if he hadn't come for her rescue then she would have been  in some asylum. 

Even the mere thought shivers her, she holds him tight. Vineet caressed her back to calm her accelerating heart. 

''Are you in mood biwi?'' He asked teasingly, diverting her mind. 

Anamika leaves him immediately,''uhmm!! Tum toh piche hi padd gaye yaar, main na rahungi tumhare saath!'' She exclaims moving to the other side, Vineet giggled at her words and sprinkle some water on her. She did the same and the game began. They spend their time teasing and playing in the pool. 

Time passes, it's evening Vineet tells her about the party. Though Anamika doesn't want to go but agrees as she doesn't want to be smashed on the bed by her husband, again!! She finds it far better than handling her husband who has gone crazy on the name of honeymoon.

Vineet waits for her in the room getting ready while Anamika was in the dressing room struggling with the zip of her dress. 

''Vinu!!'' She called him, Vineet excitedly ran inside knowing the reason. 

He finds her struggling with the dress and heads to her to help.

Anamika rolls her eyes on him.looking through the mirror.

''You did it intentionally, isn't it?? Bahana chahiye tha tumhe.'' She scoffs as the dress was chosen by him, she refuses to wear it because she finds it really short but he insisted and she had to agree. 

Vineet shrugs his shoulders,''tum har chij ka blame mujh pe kyun daal deti ho? Tumse ye dress na pehni jaa rahi usmei meri kya galti hai.'' He fires back making faces. 

Anamika glares at him but lets it go while he holds the zip and tries to pull it up, though it wasn't that easy but he manages to zip her dress. 

Anamika sighs deeply while Vineet stares at her, his mouth wide open. 

''You look dead drop gorgeous biwi!'' He complimented and pecked her cheek hurriedly. 

She was wearing a black colour, off shoulder thigh length dress. It has a deep neck which exposes her cleavage and the right side has a cut around the leg, a split dress. Though Anamika wears such dresses, today she isn't in the mood.

Vineet caresses her both arms to cheer her,''come on!! Itna kya sochna, you look beautiful and that's what matter dusro ka kyun sochna!'' He says convincingly knowing what's going on in her mind. 

Anamika nodded and smiled. Making herself presentable, they leave the room. 

**

They stepped into the huge garden of the hotel which was decorated elegantly with flowers and lights. Anamika finds many couples goofing around, enjoying themselves holding drinks. She asked Vineet the reason for the party who's also not aware of the same. 

''Uff, tumse bas romantic baatein karwa lo jo kaam ki chij thi wo pata hi nahi tumhe.'' She scolded him to which he made faces.

''Aab ismei meri kya galti, uss lady ne bataya hi nai tha reason!'' He told her, while playing with her hair.

Anamika slapped on his arm,''sshh!! Bachon si harkat na karo koi dekhega toh kya sochega.'' She rolls her eyes, he whines.

Meanwhile the manager of the hotel announces that the party is thrown to celebrate the anniversary of the owner of this hotel and they will join the guest in a moment. 

Anamika turns to Vineet,''Anniversary party!! Hum toh kuch laaye bhi nahi unke liye!'' She spoke.

''Toh kya hua, humein kahan pata tha kya hone wala hai aur waise bhi wo kaunse hamare rishtedaar laag rahe hai jo gift na diya toh taane maarenge.'' He says and shrugs off his shoulder. 

Anamika stares at him but says nothing, she doesn't want to argue again!

A little later the owner and his wife enter, they look happy. The guests wished them and some presented them gifts as well. Vineet and Anamika just wish them simply.

Anamika glares at Vineet once they are a little away from the couple.

''Dekha log gift de rahe hai aur ek tum ho jisko kuch padi hi nahi hai bas baatein banate ho!'' She scoffs.

''Uffo!! Tum bhi na, chalo de dete hai gift. Main unse keh deta hoon ki next time bhi main unke hotel mei hi aayunga, thik hai!'' He stated and turns to go but Anamika holds his hand.

''Arey!! Paagal ho gaye ho kya, kuch bhi bolte ho! Tumse kuch kehna hi bekar hai.'' She growls in anger and leaves from there, leaving him alone. 

Vineet sighs but follows her. He finds her standing around the bar area, a guy was trying to be friendly but she doesn't seem to be interested. 

Vineet headed towards her smiling, finding the guy having a hard time to please his wife and in the process the drink which was in his hand fell on her legs. This angered Anamika and she tends to slap the guy but Vineet holds her hand. 

The guy was scared to see her anger and ran away immediately. Anamika jerks away his hand and turns to leave when he holds her hand and pulls her such that she dashed to him, she glares at him.

''Uff, itni si baat ke liye itna gussa!! Bechara banda, maje ke liye aaya tha bach gaya!'' He states as he makes her sit on a chair and himself gets on his knees., Taking tissues he cleans the drink. 

Once done, he stands on his feet and smiles at her but Anamika turns away. 

''Arey! Itni sewa ke badh bhi muh phair rahi ho, so unfair!'' He pouts but she doesn't react. 

Meanwhile the manager announces the dance and asks the couples to take part. Though Anamika wasn't interested but Vineet dragged her, Anamika tried to free herself which was of no use. 

They stand in the middle, Vineet pulls her to himself and places his hands on her waist. 

''You'll regret it for sure!'' She  scoffs, fuming in anger but places her hand on his shoulder as she didn't have any other option other than to go with the flow. 

''Oh really! Will see who's gonna regret!'' He smirks as he lightly brushes his fingers on her butt startling her. 

Anamika gazes at him, he grinned while the music plays.

Labon ko labon pe sajaao

Kya ho tum mujhe abb bataao

Labon ko labon pe sajaao

Kya ho tum mujhe aab batao

Vineet moves his body according to the rhythm and tries to capture her lips but she moves back, he smiles naughtily and turns her around. 

Tod do khud ko tum,

baahon mein meri baajon mein, meri baahon mein

Baahon mein meri , baahon mei meri, meri baahon mein

His hot breath kisses her earlobes, she immediately reverts but he pulls her again, his hands around her stomach making designs.

Tere ehsaason mein, 

bheege lamhaaton mein,

Mujhko duba tishnagi si hai!

''Vineet stop it!'' Anamika tries to stop him as he's trying to be cozy in a public place and she was feeling shy, her face was red already.

Teri adaayon se,

dilkash khataao se, 

in lamho mein zindagi si hai!

''No!'' He replies and again turns her, he holds her close to himself not leaving even an inch in between. 

Haya ko jara bhool jaao, meri hi tarah pesh aao

Kho bhi do khud ko tum, 

raaton mein meri, raaton mein meri,  raaton mein

His hands find its place on her back and  around her shoulder, he places an immediate peck on her exposed shoulder.

Labon ko labon pe sajaao

Kya ho tum mujhe abb bataao

Anamika moans under her breath, his sensual touches are making her weak. 

Tere jasbaaton mein, 

mehaki si saanso mein, 

ye jo mehek sandili si hai

Dil ki panaaho mein, 

bikhari si aaho mein,

sone ki khaaish jagi si hai!

Vineet cups her face with his one hand and gazes at her with much love while caressing her cheek with his thumb. 

Chehare se chehara chupaao, 

He placed her hand on his chest, near heart. She could feel the soothing rhythm of his heart, beating calmly.

Sine ki dhadkan sunaao!!

Dekh lo khud ko tum,

Aankhon mein meri, aankhon mein meri, aankhon mein. 

Anamika smiles which forms a smile on his face as well, she throws her arms around his neck and pulls him.

Labon ko labon pe sajaao

Kya ho tum mujhe abb bataao!

They stared at each other for many moments until the people gathered around claps which caused them to part. 

They smile shyly and leave. 

They roamed around a little but weren't interested at all. 

Vineet looked at her and thought to break the silence.

''Dinner kar le?'' He asked, though he wanted to ask something else but he just had an argument with her a few moments ago and doesn't wanted to argue again. 

Anamika turns to him, she stares at him for a moment. 

''You can directly ask for it, itni formalities ki jarurat nahi hai!'' She says meaningfully. 

He gets alerted and pulls her immediately.

''Not here, Vineet!'' She rolls her eyes but he pecks her lips quickly. 

In a swift move he carried her in his arms and headed inside. Entering the elevator, he made her stand and pressed his floor number, the door of the elevator closed and in the next moment he pinned her on the wall. 

Anamika groans with his touch, he removes the hair strains from her face. She smiles at him, he cupped her face and captured her lips. She pulled him by holding his collar, ending the distance between them. 

Holding on each other tightly, smooching passionately they reach to their floor. The elevator door opens, Vineet lifts her up and leaves the box. 

Anamika breaks the kiss to inhale some air. She takes a deep breath and puts her head on his shoulder.

''Ohh! I'm tired!'' She says, painting heavily trying to wrap her hanging legs around his waist but fails. 

''To early my love!'' He replies entering the room and closes the door behind. 

He marches towards the bed and makes her lay gently, he himself leans on her placing his both hand on her either side supporting his body as he finds her that she wants to converse with. 

''You did it purposely, didn't you?'' She questions meaningfully.

Vineet gazes at her confusedly, ''kya?? What did I do?'' He questioned back.

Anamika lightly slapped on his cheek,''don't try to be innocent, meine dekha tha tumhe uss ladke aur manager se baat karte hue!'' She says smirking.

Vineet smiles cheekily,''it was needed!'' He defended, leaning close to her, finding her unbuttoning his shirt.

She pulls him and captures his lips, she removes his shirt and holds on his back, caressing them impatiently while he makes his way under her body and unzips her dress, she sighs in relief leaving his lips.

''What a relief!!'' She spoke, he hid his face in her neck and planted a series of wet kisses there while she wrapped his arms around his shoulder and tilted her head giving him access. 

While kissing he pulls her dress to her waist but she throws it away.

''Have some patient, madam!'' He spoke, moving down while kissing all the way. 

She holds his hair and pulls him up,''Do you have that?'' She questions, her hand busy removing his lowers.

''Yes, at least for now, can't say about a minutes later!'' He spoke and growled, feeling her touches around his parts. 

She pulls him closer holding his head, her legs busy pulling down his pants.

''Will make sure to break your patient!'' She exclaimed and wrapped her both legs around his naked thighs and waist. 

''So, is it a patient game?'' He asked, removing her hair from under her body.

She shook her head negatively, ''No! It's a wild game!'' She exclaimed and sealed his lips in a wild smooch, he responded with the same manner. 

With numerous twists and turns, biting on each other's lips , scratching and digging nails on back, they try to dominate the other. Vineet who usually gives up was not in the mood to lose today. They fought for an hour and knowing neither of them was going to surrender so easily, Anamika thought to give up. She had enough of the fight, so she lays flat on her back leaving him panting. 

''I surrender!'' She exclaims looking at him through the corner of her eyes. 

He smiles broadly and climbs over her immediately,''Does it mean I win the game?'' He asked happily. 

''Bilkul!!'' She replied, shaking her head multiple times. 

Happily Vineet captured her lips, this time a soft one. She caresses his back while he parts her legs and settles between. Anamika moans his name under the kiss, feeling his touches. Vineet takes the change and enters in her mouth, she wraps her legs around his waist. His one hand caresses her cheek while the other hand is on her thighs. 

Anamika's moans turn deeper, feeling him holding her legs from both sides and massaging her feet, she growls deeply and opens her eyes to look at him. 

But the sight shocked her to the core. How can it even be possible, if her husband is in her arms then who's the person standing on the bed next to her, touching her legs and smiling at her. 

She grows scared and tries to jerk Vineet who's busy exploring her curves while the other licks her toes.

Anamika immediately took off her legs from his waist and tried to push him away but he pinned her hands under her head and sealed her lips, her eyes enlarged and heart picking up pace when he pushed himself in her, she struggled to free herself from his grip as the other started to lean towards her. 

Vineet who was busy in his own world finds her disturbed and not responding, so he leaves her lips and looks at her but her act shocked him. 

She screamed out loud and pushed him away while wrapping the sheet around her, the other disappearing. 

Vineet tries to touch her but she jerks away his hand screaming and crying for help, Vineet was totally clueless.

''Ana, why are you screaming?'' He asked, trying to hold on to her , who jumped down the bed and ran to the balcony, Vineet followed her immediately -- she's hallucinating again, he get it!!

As Vineet follows her Anamika runs aimlessly, not giving second thought where she's heading to. 

Her sheet falls as she hits the couch and holds on to the railing of the balcony but Vineet pulls her before she tries to jump down to escape from him. 

She screams and pushes him but his grip is firm, he takes her inside the room. 

''Leave me!!!'' Anamika shouts, tears rolling down her cheeks. 

Vineet holds her by shoulder and jerks her a few times.

''Hosh mei aao Ana, it's me!! You don't need to scared of me.'' He tries to make her understand but she's not ready and he's left with the last option, he didn't want to do that but had to, in order to save her. 

He ties her on the chair and runs to the changing room, after a minute he returns with a syringe in his hand. 

Anamika screams out even louder to find him with those pointed things and also the other person who's standing at a corner of the room staring at her with a wide smile. 

Vineet's heart pangs to see her condition, he wonders what disturbs her to such an extent. 

He headed to her and pierce the needle in her arm, she screamed painfully and fainted in no time. He carefully freed her and made her lay on the bed, holding her close to him he caressed her hair to calm her accelerating nerve. 

...
