Ahana's pov

"What is troubling you Randhir?"

After collecting my mangalsutra and saying tons of sorry to each other and making it up again after our little misunderstanding,we were now at Juhu beach walking hand in hand in silence listening to the music of waves and feeling the soothing warm sand beneath our feet. It was still sunny in the evening though cold winds were making us shudder. Winter season is not really a thing in Mumbai but surprisingly it has started getting very cold from a few days.

I stopped walking tugging at Randhir's hand which made him halt too giving me attention finally.

"What is wrong Randhir? Please tell me!"
I asked in a soft voice cupping his face which made him look at me. From the time we've reached here he's been silent in his own self which was bothering me as he looked disturbed.

"Nothing! It's.... it's nothing really! I just...!"

"Mujhse jhut bolenge?"
I cut him off raising my eyebrows which made him take a sigh closing his eyes. Taking a breath,I hugged him muttering
"What is it Randhir? Tell me please! I know something is bothering you!"

"Let's sit there?"
Randhir pointed to a bench little far and together we sat there. I took his hand intertwining our fingers. I looked at him hopefully to go ahead while all he did was stare at me intensely and kiss my forehead.

"Randhiiirr!"
He chuckled as he kept looking at me knowing very well that I was waiting for him to start.

"What do you want to hear Ahana?"
I frowned as he addressed me by my name because I got too habitual hearing him using endearments for me and I'd rather not have it any other way.

"Please stop calling me by my name!"
As I said this,he chuckled again, bumping my forehead with his which made me scrunch my nose pouting.

"But it's your name Ahana! And I supposed to call you like this!"
Randhir replied sliding his hand around my waist while I blushed as people were present around us. Though we were at distance but they were still there to make me conscious enough.

"No you're not! You know very well Randhir I hate it when you call me by my name! Specially when we are alone so stop doing that!"
I replied pointing my forefinger at him as he tried controlling his amused smile and I pouted looking down.

"Achaa so what should I call you then?"
He asked acting all innocent making me huff glaring at him.

"You know what just forget it! I am going back to the car!"
Saying this I stood up only to be pulled back landing straight on my husband's lap who was smirking like an idiot while my cheeks resembled a tomato.

"Oh did I made my jaan angry?"
Somehow escaping his grip,I stood up from his lap and sat beside him quietly as a lady passed by us giving a smile or more likely a mischievous smirk. As she finally went far,I started beating Randhir with my hands on his shoulder while he laughed dodging it.

"You always do this with me! Every single time! Jab tak mujhe embarrass na kardo tab tak apko shanti kaha milti hai! Hai na?"
This didn't really effected my husband as he was laughing like a maniac making my blood boil.

"Babaji hi jaane woh aunty kya kya soch rahi hogi humare bare mein!"
I muttered stomping my foot while Randhir sobered up saying

"Relax! That aunty was smiling looking at as! Jaada se jaada yahi soch rahi hogi ki tumhara pati kitna romantic hai!"
I gave an unbelievable look to him while he pulled me in his arms. I closed my eyes hiding my face in his neck with a blush and a silly smile.

"Randhir!"
I called out in a whisper still being in his embrace and he hummed in response.

"I am still waiting!"
I referred to our still remaining conversation which he tried to dodge very smartly till now. His hold on my waist tightened while I fisted his shirt moving close to him.

"I don't think my accident was really an accident!"
I stilled for a second hearing his words and after processing it,I broke apart looking at him.

"Aap.... what are you saying?"
I just couldn't believe this. Was...was someone out there deliberately trying to harm Randhir. The thought only made me shake from within.

"Yes! I think someone is behind all this!"
He said as I saw him clenching his jaw to control himself.

"But... but how is that possible.... how can you be....so sure that someone...?
I left the sentence incomplete not having the guts to actually say it and clutched his hand tightly.

"It cannot be coincidence jaan! It's too good to be coincidence. Getting such a big deal, working on it like a mad person, getting rejected before even proving ourselves just through a call and getting almost hit by a truck in the same span of time cannot be coincidence!"
As he completed everything I was already in tears. I hugged him immediately while he kissed my crown. My heart was beating erratically with just the thought of something worst happening to him.

"Shh! You've already cried enough for today baby now no more tears please!"
He tried sounding strict while a sob escaped my lips.

"I can't....I can't loose you Randhir! I'll die!

"Ahana!"
He shouted making me jump but later sighed pulling me to him and wiping my tears stated

"Nothing will happen to me you get it? Even though I feel like someone is behind all this but it can all be wrong too! Stop crying and overthinking because I am not gonna leave you ever! Remember you are exclusively mine for the next seven lives! Itni jaldi picha nhi chhutega mujhse!"
I chuckled through my tears hugging him again and whispered

"I love you Randhir! I love you very much!"
He sighed circling his hand around me replying just what I knew and wanted to hear but still it gave me butterfly in my tummy and warmth to my heart.

"I love you more meri jaan! So so much!

____________

"Let me help you!"

Randhir stated entering the kitchen as he saw me placing out the chinese take away we bought for our dinner. My husband literally pleased me like a four year old with the cutest pout then a baby that I couldn't resist but give into his pleading and bought some good food. But however this husband of mine seems to have something else in his mind because instead of helping me,he wrapped his hands around my waist snuggling his face in my neck which distracted me and I shivered feeling his naked chest on my almost bare back as I wearing a speggetti top with shorts.

"Randhir you are doing anything but helping me!"
I pointed throwing the paper bags away while he just hummed not really paying attention to which I shaked my head.

"Oouuccchhhh!"
I shrieked as he pierced his teeth biting my neck which was now burning. I touched the area to feel it warm and I am sure it would've turned red too.

"Turn around!"
Randhir whispered turning me around himself by my shoulder. Caging me between him and the kitchen slab,he came closer that I felt his hot breath on my face. I took hold of his elbow trying to balance myself but soon I felt Randhir's hand going around my waist helping me stand and be in sanity.

"Isssss!"
I hissed as he sucked the area were he gave a bite while my hands went around his neck pulling him more into me. Easing the pain by sucking it to his hearts content,his hooded eyes found mine looking at me with love and he said

"As much as I love marking you as mine,I hate to hurt you like this! I am sorry!"
Before I can give him my piece of mind, the bell rang making us frown thinking who would be at this time, neither did we expected anyone.

"I'll get that!"
Randhir said and kissing my forehead went to do the same while I took a breath composing my raised heartbeat. I heard voices coming from the living room which made me confuse and I too came out only to witness Randhir hugging someone or more precisely a girl. A beautiful girl at that and I am not saying about the artificial beauty but the natural one. One which is quite rare to find.

"What a pleasant surprise Saba! After so many years you finally remembered you have a friend huhh!"

Saba!

That name rings a bell.

"Stop being a drama queen Ran! It's not been that long too!"

Ran?Like seriously?

"Ya ya! Depends on individual! You know it does seem long if you miss your bestfriend! And clearly I can say you didn't missed me like I did!"

Okay now I get it. She's the same Saba who was with Randhir in his university. His bestfriend and the same girl who used to or maybe still loves my husband. Oh man I am not liking this already!

"You missed me?"
Saba asked softly looking at Randhir with a weird emotion which I failed to recognize or just didn't want to recognize it deliberately. Before Randhir could reply,I made my presence known to them standing close to him.

"Umm....who do we have here?"
I know I was being a bitch even after knowing everything but the wife in me wasn't ready to behave good. Randhir smiled looking at me and keeping his hand around my waist replied

"Ohh Ahana look who graced us with her presence! Meet Saba khan! I hope you remember her! My bestfriend from university"
I nodded with the most genuine smile I could manage. No matter what but without even knowing her,I cannot judge her right! Saba turned her attention to me and smiled lingering her gaze on Randhir's hand which was around my waist.

"And Saba this is Ahana! My...!"

"...Wife! Come on Randhir I think the whole world knows that don't you feel?"
She butted in not letting him complete to which Randhir chuckled shrugging and I gave an awkward smile.

"So you are the one!"
She said giving me a look from up to down making me couscous of myself for a second but I gave her a confused look saying

"Sorry?"
She smiled shaking her head and taking my hand in her's replied

"I meant you are the one who managed to capture his heart which I didn't thought anyone could do but guess I was clearly wrong!"

"And what happened to your hand Randhir?"
She asked caressing his hand while he shrugged saying

"That's a long story! Come here I have so much to talk about!"
Before I can process anything, Randhir left my side and holding Saba's hand settled on the couch while I kept standing where I was not understanding what just happened. I looked at both of them only to feel a pang in my chest seeing them both talking and laughing together but I shooed it away thinking that they have met after so long so it's only fair if they catch up a bit. Closing my eyes with a sigh,I moved in the kitchen pouring water in glass for Saba thinking it's too late for offering any other beverage as it's dinner time.

"Thank you so much Ahana!"
Saba chirped taking the glass while I smiled sitting beside Randhir who gave me a smile in return keeping his hand on my knee while his one gesture was enough to make me feel giddy and smile stupidly.

"So I don't want to sound rude but any special reason of coming to Mumbai? I mean Randhir told me you live in Australia so this sudden visit?"
I asked keeping my hand above Randhir's which was on my knee and tried sounding as normal as possible though from inside I was dying to know her reason of sudden appearance. Saba looked at me for a moment before saying

"Yes! Yes actually I do have some professional reasons of being here so thought why not first pay my closest friend a visit as it's been years since I last met him and our other friends!"
I nodded faking a smile feeling jealous for some reason but offcourse didn't showed it. Later we moved to have our dinner with her as well coz apparently chinese is Saba's favorite too and Randhir insisted her to have dinner with us. Well I don't think I like Chinese anymore!

God! I am certainly being a bitch!

"How's everyone else Ran? I mean I wasn't really in touch with anyone after our convocation apart from staying connected through sns offcourse!"
She said taking a bite while Randhir replied

"Everyone is fine infact there's a good news! Adith is getting married very soon!"

"Ohhh that's great! I feel like everyone's finding there soulmate I think!"
At her words I couldn't help but ask something too stupid

"Well is there anyone special in your life?"
Both Saba and Randhir looked at me as if I asked something wrong but as I heard Saba's reply,I definitely regretted asking anything.

"As you might know that I was in love with Randhir but clearly he didn't felt the same. I was hurt not having him reciprocate my feelings but I couldn't do anything about it right,so I moved to Australia as I got my dream Job there and after that I didn't really gave a thought about finding someone for me and all that stuff! Maybe because I didn't found someone like Randhir or maybe because I didn't wanted to invest in someone all over again. I think I am quite satisfied with what I have right now! Agar pyaar mere nasib mein hoga toh woh bhi mil jayega!"

Silence! That's all you'll feel as nobody dared to say anything. I was just so confused by her words. At one point she showed as if she still possesses feelings for Randhir while on the other hand she shows as if she's over him. But even if she still has feelings for my husband then that's her mistake. No way in hell she'll get him if that's what she's thinking. Randhir started coughing badly gaining our attention and as I was about to pass him a glass of water, Saba stood up rubbing his back while I fisted my hand in anger and dismay.

"Ran you should eat carefully! You know Ahana chillies always makes him cough badly!"

I know that Ms Saba! He's my husband if you remember?

I so wanted to spat this on her face but hardly controlled myself. I shifted my attention towards Randhir rubbing off the sweat from his forehead while she again started giving us that weird look! Randhir drank water and after calming himself we resumed our eating.

"You know Saba I think even you should attend Adith's marriage! I am sure he'll love it!"
Suggested Randhir

Ohh god! I have to bear her presence for so long? But it can't be that bad right as she appears to be nice if we overlook some of her words she's spoken till now! And moreover who am I to stop her if Adith invites her anyways!

"Well for that he has to invite me officially and I have to meet everyone first! God I am so excited!"
She exclaimed with a broad smile and Randhir reciprocated her. Soon our dinner was over and just when Saba planned to leave finally, Randhir reasoned,asking her to stay over for tonight.

"I am not letting you go this late at night Saba! It's too dangerous. You can stay here! The guest room is all yours!"

"No Ran! I can't just like that...I mean I don't want to bother you guys and anyways I am staying at my aunt's place. I know it's too far from here but I can manage really! Moreover I don't even have spare clothes with me how will I...?"

"You can use Ahana's! I mean I don't think she'd mind!"
Randhir butted in before she completes and looked at me for response to which I nodded my head saying

"Please stay Saba!"
I managed to say only that. Though I hate to share my anything be it clothes but I can't be this heartless to ask her to leave. That's just not me. So it was decided that she was staying and after making her comfortable in the guest room, we finally came in our room having our privacy.

"Oh God! I missed you!"
Randhir whispered pulling me in his arms immediately while I chuckled saying

"I was with you all the time Mr Malhotra!"
He broke the hug still keeping me close to him and said removing some hair away from my face.

"I missed having you for myself!"

"Such a drama queen you are! Now go and sit on the bed,I have to change your dressing. After that you'll take medicine,I'll give a massage to your head and immediately you'll sleep!"

"Aye aye captain!"
I laughed along with him and made my way to take the first aid box. I cleaned his wound wrapping it with new dressing and gave him the medicine. Now I was sitting at the edge of the bed with my legs parted and Randhir settled down between them as I started massaging his head and shoulder.

"You know I am very happy that Saba came! I did actually missed her but she never agreed to come here before and now she finally did!"
Randhir stated and I could feel him smiling but chose not to reply. Not that I had a problem with her visiting us but I just can't help and feel something off about her presence. Maybe it's just the fact that she shared something with Randhir or I don't know. After the massage, Randhir stood up in his full height and literally hovered over me keeping his one knee on the bed.

"I... don't feel your intentions are decent Mr husband!"
I fumbled keeping my hand on his chest as he came closer. So much that I could smell his mouthwatering scent easily.

"Oh I promise they are anything but decent wife!"
I gulped as I felt his one hand cupping my face and other going around my waist pulling me in him that now I was almost off the bed and totally in his hold. He blew air on my face making me close my eyes and just when I expected his lips on mine, we heard door opening and a shout.

"Ran....OH MY GOD!"
We pulled apart from each other looking here and there while I started giving abuses to this girl in my head.

"I am...I am sorry actually...I am not used to...of knocking Ran's door before...but I am really sorry! I know it's my mistake!"

She's not used to knock before entering? What is she a four year old kid? Heck even kids have these basic etiquettes to knock and she? God I so want to strangle her throat with my bare hands. Only if could do that!

"It's... it's fine Saba don't be embarrassed!"
Randhir shrugged it off while I gave him a unbelievable look wanting to shout that 'she embarrassed us my idiot husband not the other way around!'

"Do you wanted something?"

"Umm yes! I... actually wanted to talk to you Ran. In private!"
Now this made me quirk my eyebrows folding my hands around my chest as I waited for Randhir to respond and say her that it's too late and he'll talk tomorrow but since today is full of surprises,he replied

"Ohkay!"
Just an okay and he went away with her not even giving a second glance to me which did effected me more than it should.
