After scrumptious dinner they returned to their room in a happy mood.. Rajveer was expecting that suffocating atmosphere back in the room, but, as he returned, he found the room normal. Without any eerie feelings or uncanny absurd figures..  it was Rajveer who entered the room first.. naina followed him in minutes with jug full of water for the rest of the night… as Naina entered, she found Raj standing at the middle of the room, looking here and there.. but he was relaxed..

Raaj..bahadur chacha kitna achha khana banate hain na? she asked as she placed the jug..and then she turned to lock the door.

Haa naina..Chacha ne bohat he achha khana banaya…  mera toh pet full ho gaya.. Rajveer replied putting his hand over his inflated tummy.. maaza agaya khana khake….

Naina giggled looking at his inflated round tummy… zyada khaiye mat.. warna in 2/3 dino mein mote ho jayenge.. phir wapis jake aapke regiment mein saab aapko MOTE CAPTAIN bulayenge…..

Hahahahahahahah……Mote Captain!!.he mimicked Naina with a grumpy face.. bohat funny haina?? He rolled his eyes.. kal subah se mai yahapar bhi morning jogs me jaaya karunga.. dekhna.. hilly roads hai…. Bohat kam jogs mein zyada calorie burn hoga…

Haa.. haa.. phir breakfast me double khana khake phirse waise k waise?? Motu Captain!! She took out her tongue to make faces, just to irritate him….

Bohat masti sujh rahi hai na ab madam ko?? He went closer and suddenly started tickling her.. he knows….the only weapon she gets weak in front is this!

Raj….Raj….please don’t do this…. Please….she started laughing like a maniac and started running inside the room… Raj being no less followed her closely….with his quircky fingers poking Naina here and there creating intense tickling sensation….

Aab…raj bachao…ha… ab raj bachao…..he played along…..koi nahi ayega bachane wala……aab nahi…..he increased his speed to catch her….and in this process he tripped on the floor carpet making him loose his balance and lean forward..in order to save himself from falling he tried to find support holding Naina..and Naina who was not at all prepared for this, fell on the bed on face with him over her from her back side..she was still laughing and so was Rajveer…

Raaj…this is not fair….aap aise mujh par chadh nahi sakte mujhe gudgudi deyne ke liye…she complained thinking it was Raj who intentionally did that..

Rajveer completely understanding her state of mind thought to keep the real happening a secret. He then said making naughty face…..Naina…..everything is fair in love and war… and yahapar to do hi hai…love bhi aur war bhi…aab tumhe koi nahi bacha sakta…..saying he started tickling her again..

Unable to turn or move she started throwing her hands and feet.. sometimes on the bed or sometimes on the air… just like she was tryng to swim on the dry bed.. .laughing hard nonstop….that brought tears on her eyes.. she got breathless..

Rajveers condition was same.. watching naina swimming in the air made him broke in fits of laughter..srtuggling for few more minutes she gave up finally getting tired and breathless.. Rajveer left her as his stomach ached due to the laughter fit.

Leaving her, rajveer laid flat on his back on the bed beside her with his hands stretched on both sides.. naina turned around and using his arm as a pillow she too laid flat looking the ceiling… both their faces still red out of laughing..both breathing shallow.

Feeling naina so close to him gave Rajveer adrenaline boost.. he turned his head to his left to see Naina lying on his hand with a flushed face… her eyes teary…lips curled to a beautiful smile.. he raised his body sideways on his left to steal a closer glance of her. He leaned more to her..

His sudden closeness, the warmth of his breath made naina conscious and she looked at him.. and blushed hard as his deep intense eyes made her remember their romantic encounter just a day back. She couldn’t look more at his intense eyes and lowrerd her eye lids..

Naina….. he said huskily… meri taraf dekho..

Naina nodded her head negative.. her eyes shut now.. her cheeks emitting heat.. her breathing abnormal again..

Naina look at me…..he said again…this time putting his right hand on her left cheek, trying to make her look at him.. anticipating his actions, Naina looked at him shyly. You love me? He asked looking deep into her eyes..

More than I love myself. More than anything else in the world….she said looking at his eyes.. I couldn’t have loved anyone more than I love you.. you mean the world to me..a lone tear escaped her eyes. Im yours…totally…madly in love with you Rajveer..

Rajveer couldn’t control any further. The intense hormonal fights inside him that is increasing with each passing second....and listening his full name in her voice.... watching her lips move as she pronounced his name he got carried on to a different world..  He leaned forward slowly..he kissed her forehead reverently. Taking a step further Rajveer then kissed her both eyes….nose…. temples… cheeks.. chin.. and she accepted all his touch closing her eyes. She wanted not only her skin to feel…. But also her heart.

I love you Naina….. I really do……these were Rajveers last words that escaped from his mouth before he lost his lips into hers…. Their first kiss… a kiss that marked their union.. a kiss that strengrthened their promise of being with each other, whatever may come. A kiss that proved they belong to each other…..both mentally….and now physically too.

exploring his new marked territory, loosing all his rational control he left her lips and progressed further downwards kissing her jaw line, then neck….gradually..kissing open mouthed, sucking at times he dipped his head on the crook of her neck.

Naina….she is experiencing these for the first time…rajveers breath, the warmth of his lips and tongue, the dampness of her skin due to his saliva all creating havoc inside her.. she is feeling a different kind of tension throughout her body.. the tension making her dream errotic.. Unconsciously her hands moved to his head….pressing his head all the more against her skin. Feeling the pleasure..

Rajveer was not in a mood to stop,,neither Naina wanted him to.. marking her neck as his, he proceeded downwards towards her cleavage………

Thap……… Thap………. Thap…….. harsh sounds on the door brought them down to the present from the world where the were lost.. Rajveer left Naina immediately breathing hard.. he looked at Naina.. her disoriented state….her chest throbbing up and down due to frequent shallow breating…her eyes closed..

Naina…..mai dekh ke aata hoon… he said controlling his breathing and went to the door to check..

Naina…….got up and sat composing herself…..her dress her hairs..looking at the door…

Rajveer opened the door all of a sudden…he was quite sure that Bahadur Chacha is at the door.. but to his utter surprise there was no one! Total blank passage…  Kaun hai?? He shouted..

Out of nowhere cold turbulent wind blowed…hitting him direct on the face, wind passed by his ears into the room.. making him shiver.. not only out of cold….but he felt someones presence. The chandeliers of light hanging from the ceiling started swinging…making clinching sounds.. a shiver ran down his spine and he shut the door at once..

Kaun tha Raj?? Asked naina…getting down from the bed…

Pata nahi….he shrugged… bahar koi nahi tha….he looked here and there confused. Suddenly he felt the air cooler and heavy..

Oh! Naina shrugged.. hawa se hua hoga awaz…she said and moved towards the dressing table..

Thap…thap..thap……again the sound. And they booth looked at the door again….frightened..

Kaun hai?? Rajveer fumbled.. his voice weak..….. aap rukiye min dekhti hoon…said naina and she moved to the door to check..

Kaun hai? She called finding no one, on opening the door…  Nainaaaaaaaaaahhh………..a whisper in an unearthly voice made her shiver.. terrified she shouted again…kaun hai? Saamne  aao…….But she found no one……except a cold breeze….that she felt encapsulated her..

Naina andar aajao….said Rajveer from inside.. koi nahi hai… aurr agle baa raise awaz hone se hum meise koi darwaza nahi kholenge..he decided..

Ha Raj…wohi theek rahega….she stepped in and locked the door.. Raaj aap sojao.. mai fresh hoke aati hoon..and she went to the washroom with brush in her hand..

Inside the washroom in front of the mirrir she brushed her teeth..thinking about the incident that happene just a few minutes back…

Kaun ho sakta hai?? She thought.. Bahadur chacha?? Nahi woh aisa mazak nahi karenge. Unhe agar koi zaroorat hogi toh who darwaze pe rahenge….nahi knock karke bhag jayenge… hawa se hi awaz huyi hogi..she thought as she bent over the basin to spit and rinse her buccal cavity… and as soon as she looked towards the basin she automatically stepped a few steps back.. she felt she saw an eye looking at her from the pipe channel in the basin.. a human eye with green iris…

Kya tha woh? She looked towards the basin in awe… mujheaisa kyu laga maine pipe channel par ek aankh dekhi? She started sweating….. kya ho raha hai? She gulped down saliva and a part of the paste forth inside her mouth..

Nahi….mujhe dekhna padega…. Basin mein aankh kahase ayegi?? She thought trying to gain some confidence…and finally with little steps she moved to the basin again to have a look… eyeing the clear and clean white basin she smiled….kuch nahi hai… mai bekar dar rahi thi… syed Raaj k tarah mai bhi hallucinate karne lagi hoon…mujhe bhi ajeeb ajeeb cheezein dikhai de rahi hai.. she thought washing her mouth….

Splashing her face with cold water she poured a little of facewash on her palm, which she applied on her face creating a rich lather….. flashes of the physically romantic encounter that she experienced minutes back flashed in her inner eyes and she found her cheeks emitting heat again.. had her face not been covered with lather, she herself would have witnessed her blush..

Aaj unhone mujhe pehli baar chhua….he kissed me..she blushed harder… mujhe tab aisa lag raha tha k maano meri saansein tham se gayi ho..aaj unhone, humare is naye rishte mein kadam badhaya..aur mujhe bhi unhe unki khushi deni padegi.. agar aaj raat woh aur bhi aage badhna chahe toh mai rokungi nahi…. Agar aj woh apne pyaar se mujhe poora karna chahe to mai bhi aj unke raang me rang jaungi…. Her thoughts gave her happiness eternally… afterall she felt complete..

Blushing and thinking about him she hand bent down to wash her face….her eyes closed….she suddenly felt someone standing behind her.. she could feel someones presence…..someone looking at her..  she experienced a warm breath on her exposed nape area.. quite sure it was Rajveer, she didn’t react much and continued her washing work in a hurry…. And in that procedure a part of the forth spilled into her eyes creating a burning sensation..  she bent further down for more access to the running water… it was when she felt a pair of cold hands grasping her from behind from her waist line..

Raaj……kya kar rahe hain aap?? Mujhe apna chehra dhone to dijiye…she said and moved trying to remove the hands from her waist.

The pair of hands instead of leaving her grasped her tight.. she could feel warm breath on her nape more… like someone wanted to hug her from behind..

Raaj…choriye na…. please…..she said… her face almost clear of the forth.. infact she enjoyed this sweet torture…she enjoyed Rajveers desperate hands on her… the warm breath making her aroused.. the sweet pain of arousal that she understood very well then..

Raaj please leave me now….mujhe room tak to jaane dijiye..she said as she raised her face to look at the mirror….what she saw made a moan esape her mouth now…… the room was blank…. No Rajveer…no any living being other than her ownself inside. Instead a light mass of cloud escaping the room from the ventilator on the top…

She turned immediately to look at the ventilator….and found nothing…. She looked here and there.. no one! She turned back again to face the mirror….. the mirrir reflected what her eyes saw……empty room!

It was just then her eyes fell on the the water vapour that a small part of the mirror was covered with…vapour that develops when warm breath comes in contact with a cold surface…the vapour that is fading gradually….. and this made Naina shiver out of horror.. she ran out of the wash room immediately..

Raaj….that was what she all could say coming out… but she found raj already asleep on his side of the bed..

Matlab andar who Raaj nahi tha… Raj toh so raha hai. Toh……toh….andar jo mere saath hua? Kaun tha who? She trembeled…..

Tighrig tig…..tightig tig……………suddenly sound of horse running broke her trance… a horse carrying some unkhown rider crossed their bunglow…the sound gradually faded away..

Yeh sab kya ho raha hai yaha? Sham ko Raaj ne kuch ajeeb mehsoos kia.. aur aab mere saath .. kya sach me yaha par kuch paranormal hai? Kya sach mein yeh jagah haunted hai?? She thought creasing her brows..

She went to the dressing table to apply night crème. Tying her hairs in a bun and applying the night crème she looked at her mirror image. Bhaiyya yeh sab kya ho raha hai? Kya aap dekh paa rahe ho bhaiya? Please save Rajveer from all dangers.. please save him …she said as she looked at her own mirror image as if trying to see her brother ..

Taking a final glance, she moved to her side of the bed cuddling more towards Rajveers sleeping figure, hugging him tight to drift into sleep… Rajveer hugged her back in his sleep.. both the sleeping figures trying to find strength  in each others arms… strength to fight with the invisible.

But……….

Nainas Mirror reflection still adhered to the mirror… the eye balls moving from left to right…and back.. a cruel smirk lingering on its lips…….
The face gradually changed to that of a different woman.. white skinned black haired... its eyes gradually turning black till it started bleeding black… the skin gradually turned white to whiter...to cracked white….and finally a total distorted face appeared on the mirror before it disappeared....

The sound of the horse hooves retreated  in the same way and gradually faded away again….
