Shravan was looking at the figure sleeping besides the pillow wall.

Its five in the morning and an hour since he woke up.

She was looking so cute while sleeping that he cant move his eyes off her even if he tried.

I can watch her sleeping because it is not like she will got to know about it. So i can do it as much i want before she open her eyes.

But i dont know why i want to see her sleeping??

Maybe i like her

Or may be you love her idiot his mind reminded him and his heart start beating fastly. He looked at her to know these feelings.

Nooo!! I surely feel a connection between us but i also know you cant love someone in just few weeks. Love is such a strong word. You need time to fall in love with someone.

I m not one of those who says such strong words without meaning them. I dont know how can people use it daily just like that?

He rejected his inner thoughts went to the washroom to get her out of his mind.

Getting ready he was again shooting glances of her from the mirror but before she wakes up he went from there taking a last glance.

Suman wakes up when her alarm went off at seven. She looked at his side but found it empty

Now where is he??

Shooking her head she went to shower as she have to go to pct.

She got to know he already left for office when she went downstairs.

Workaholic!

Giving ramnath his medicines and making breakfast for everyone she went to pct.

In the afternoon as they finished all orders of the day before 2pm. She gave them an early off and went home.

She was arranging their ironed clothes in closet when she saw his spectacles.

They belongs to chashmish.

She smiled looking at them and then even tried looking at herself in mirror.

Placing them back to their place she grab her album which was full of her pics.

She turned the pages and stopped where she saw their pic together. It was from school.

Shravan was looking at her while she was posing at the camera holding his arm.This was her favourite picture since then.

She left a chuckle remembering the day it was clicked. It was their farewell and she wore a pink saree while he wore a tux.

She still remember when she entered the school being neevous. It was the first time she was carrying saree. Until outside the school her mom was helping her but now she had to do it herself. There was just one thought roaming in her mind. What if the plates gets open??

Evwn though it was secured by the pins she still had a doubt. But everything got cleared out of her mind when she saw him looking at her. His eyes widen and his jaw almost dropped in o shape.

That was all for hee to know she was looking good. Everyone knew both were smitten by each other.

It was that obvious then chashmish. Why cant you see it now? I m your sumo.

She was so engrossed in the album that she missed the opening and closing of door.

She looked at the person standing just at the entrance of walk in closet. Her eyes widen looking at him there and the album dropped from her hands.

What is he doing here at this time? He was supposed to come late no?

She first looked at him and then at the album

Thank god it got closed while lying. Do something sumo!

She picked the album as quick as she can and was about to place it inside when his hand stopped her.

She looked at him who was busy reading her face. He took the album from her hands.

Suman was apprehensive. She can feel herself sweating and a shiver went inside her body.

"How come you are home this early?" She tried to act normal. She was so sure to shutter but she did not while speaking

"Just came to get a file." He said still looking at her face. She knew he can read her and he definitely got a hint that something is wrong.

She took the album from his hands and hide it beside her back.

He arched his brows at her to which she shooked her head.

Shravan took his steps closer to her while she moved backward. Soon her back hit the open closet.

Shravan can feel her hesitation and he knew she is trying to hide it from him.

But why she is doing it?

Shravan rubbed his thumb on her forhead removing the sweat.

Her heart was beating fast but now for an other reason their closeness. He never came this close to her and he never tried to touch her before.

But now he is doing both. She can feel the warmth coming from his body.

Their eyes were still locked as no one is breaking the contact.

Sumo you are gone today!

But the eye lock soon disturbed by his phone's ring. Giving her a last suspectable glance shravan took out his phone and went out answering it.

Phewwww!!  That was too close sumo.

She placed the album back in her closet and locked it but  getting a thought she unlocked it and did something looking out if he is again here or not.

When she was done. She locked the closet and left the room as she dont want to face him again.

Not right now!

Shravan came back in the room after he finished the call. He went to his study table and took the file for which he actually came home.

As he touched the knob to went out. He waited for a second and locked the room.

Coming back to the closet he tried to open it but was locked

I know its not right but i have to do it.

He took out the spare key from his drawer and unlocked her closet. Taking the album out he looked at it. There were just two or three pictures of her there.

Why the hell she was hiding this vacant album?

He looked at the album for sometime and then thought

Is this done by her purposely so that i wont be able to see what she does not want me to see?

I m damn sure she is hiding something.

And i will definitely figure it out soon.

Taking his file he went back to office but was again distracted by her thoughts but now he was thinking of her odd behaviour and what would be that she is hiding.

While suman downstairs knew he would definitely check the album for sure thats why she took out all the photos of her and locked them in her drawer.

Perks of knowing him since childhood!

In the evening when they reached home from office. As usual kamini came to get pushkar's bag while suman went to Ramnath.

Shravan was seeing this standing beside pushkar and was about to go when she came and stand in front of him. Forwarding her hand she asked for his bag making his heart start beating a little faster.

What is she doing to me?

Giving him a infectious smile she waited for him to give her the bag but he was just busy looking at her.

I dont think even girls change their mood this rapidly in menstrual cylce as much as he changes in minutes.

Rolling her eyes she went ahead and took the bag from his hand narrowing her eyes at him while his eyes were still on her.

To anyone else maybe its a small gesture but for him it was big thing. No one had ever done these small things for him except his father. But he is liking these changes.

As he came out of his thoughts his eyes landed on two people sitting there looking at him. While his father was giving him a genuine smile, pushkar was grinning at him. Rolling his eyes he did not waste a second climbing up.

Suman was going upstairs to their room in one hand she was holding the jug full of water and in other she was holding her blanket. She was taking her steps slowly and finally she entered the room.

Yay sumo you did it now you dont have to make another round downstairs! You need a pat for this.

Smiling she was about to place the blanket on bed when his loud angry voice made her jump and she hit the ground on her butt.

What was that? Sumo you failed! Shitt!!

She looked at him who was looking at her sitting on sofa. He was trying to hold himself from laughing she can see that which ignited the anger in her.

"This happened just because of you ?" She yelled

"What?? I was just talking on my phone" he shrugged like he did nothing

"Well what you were doing on phone was not talking that was yelling"

"Well you know what you are just doing the same thing" he chuckled

"Why are you laughing?" She asked still sitting on floor giving him a deadly glare.

"I think you have a thing with floor. Right?" And he chuckled again

He came toward her shooking his head and forwarded his hand. Suman looked at his hand but making a face she got up herself.

"Thats not even a thing okay" she said dusting her hands

"But i have seen you touching floor so many times. Few days ago with pushkar remember and then again one day i saw you stumbling around in the lawn and other places." He said smirking

Can i just take that smirk off from my punch?

"The word for that is clumsy okay and i know you are a lawyer but please use your brilliant mind in your cases not on stupid THINGS" She said stretching things a bit.She smiled as his smirk was gone now.

She was about to go when she saw her blanket on ground soaked in water then she looked at the jug which was empty by then

Hoky shit!! My blanket

Suman grabbed her blanket and looked at it in horror.

Shravan who was smiling and enjoying her antics till now chapped his lips not to laugh at her again.

She really is an antic piece!

"Its okay we have more blankets in our house" shravan said casually

He went to his closet and looked there but did not fnd any.

"There was another blanket in my closet" he asked

"I gave it to laundry" she whispered still looking at her blanket as she threw it on floor

"Ita okay i will ask kamalji for another one"

"Just look at the time you idiot" she said a bit irritated

Shravan looked at the wall clock its 12.

They must be sleeping and even if i go and asked for a blanket what will they think?

Suman nodee her head at him as if she knew what he was thinking and released a sigh.

What is she a mind reader?

Not knowing what to do he again looked at her who was looking at something. Following her gaze he saw what she was looking at. It was the blanket lying on his side.

Both looked at each other at the same time. As if getting each other's thought both ran toward the blanket and grabbed the respective sides

"This is my blanket"

"I saw it first" she pulled it to her

"I touched it first"

"I like it"

"I love it" he said pulling it toward him

"I was using it a week before"

"And i m using it since months"

"I m washing it since a month" again a pull

"It lies inside my bedroom" he pulled

"Urghhh! I lies inside my home beat that" she wiggled her brows with a knowing smile that she won

Shravan pulled the blanket a little harder to get it but he did not know that she will come along with the blanket.

Her hands went on his cheat and his hands went on her waist automatically to make her steady. This is the second time in one day they are so close but right now the blanket was in between them. Both were lost looking at each other. Suman was the one who got out of trance first and then all of a sudden both were looking at each other akwardly.

No no no he cant feel my heart beat which are doing a marathon right now! Move right now. But this feels so good!

She quickly pushed herslef back with her hands which were on his chest.

Looking around she went toward her side of bed while he was still standing there holding the blanket.

After a minute of silence he said "we can share the blanket if you are okay with it"

"Okay"

"Okay?" He asked

"Like i have any other option?" She rolled her eyes

He went toward his side and slide inside the blanket. This was the first time there was no pillow wall in between them.

Shravan was lying on the corner if he took one turn then he will be on floor.

"Why dont you sleep on floor instead?" She said in sarcarm looking how far he is from her.

Knowing what she was trying to say he rolled his eyes and then shifted toward her a bit but there was still a lot of space between them. She smiled looking at him

At least he is not complaining right now sumo its a good sign!

"Dont you speak less?" He gave her an answer will an equal sarcastic tone.

"Tell me something i dont know" she said closing her eyes while she can still feel his eyes on her.

I think i will have a good dream today.

"Good night chatterbox" shravan said yawning

"Good night huaband" suman replied covering herslef with blanket to hide her smile while he was a bit shock

How can she say it so casually?
