Five minutes later, Sameer entered the room with two cups of coffee in a tray. He kept it on the sofa table and called her by adjusting himself on the sofa.

Naina approached him and settled down next to him. She asked in a surprise looking the coffee. "Aapko banana aata hai."

"Haan... Only tea aur coffee." He replied.

"Sleeping time me coffee kyo?" She confused.

"Aaj tumhare saath baith kar baat karne ka mann kiya... aise hi to hum ek dusre ko janenge." He said.

"Kaise." She perplexed.

"Pehle coffee test to karo." And she sipped coffee and praised his effort. "Not bad Mr. Maheshwari... you have passed 10 out of 10.

Sameer smiled of her cute expression and he said. "Jaise aaj tumne jana ki cooking me mujhe sirf tea aur coffee banani aati hai... aise hi hum dono ko, ek dusre ke baare me bahut kuch janna hai..." He explained his thoughts while sipping the coffee.

Naina liked his thoughts and wondered how someone could be so good.

"Par mujhe na aur bahut kuch banana sikhana hai... ab tum mujhe sikha dena." He said breaking of her thought.

"Aapko kyo sikhana hai?... mai hun na, aapko hamesha apne hathon se banakar khilaungi."
She amazed.

"Wo to hai... par socho agar kabhi mera mann kiya ki mai apni wife ko apne hathon se kuch bana kar khilau to aana chahiye na." He said like if it was most important task for his life.

Naina giggled, the way he described the reason to learn cooking.

"Haan phir to ye bahut badi problem ho jaayegi... the business tycoon Mr. Sameer Maheshwari apni wife ki pasand ka khana nahi bana sakte." She said floating her arms in the air and chuckled.

"Naina... tum mera mazak uda rahi ho... apne pati parmeshwar ka." He fake annoyed with her.

"Hww... mai to dar gayi... pati parmeshwar" She made her eyes widened.

"Chal jhuthi." He slapped her shoulder a bit and engulfed her.

Naina said breaking the silent of the room after a while. "Sameer aaj ghar kitna khali khali lag raha hai."

"Haan Deepika thi to ek alag hi rounak thi...aur aaj ghar suna hai." He dejected.

"Pure din mere aage pichhe daudati rahti thi... bhabhi ye... bhabhi wo kah kar... Uske rahne se chahal pahal bani rahti thi... aur ab dekhiye ghar bilkul bejaan lag raha hai." She remembered about Deepika.

"Achha Naina jab tum Shimla jaogi to pahle kya karogi." He asked when he noticed her sullen face.

"Shimla se jyada mai Delhi jane ke liye excited hun... mujhe mera sasural dekhana hai... jahan hamari family hai." She excited.

"To madam ko yahan se jyada Delhi pasand hai." He quipped.

"Nahi Sameer mai to bas aise hi bol rahi thi... aap jahan rahenge wahi jagah mere liye best hai." She feared if he became sad about the priority of her place choice.

Suddenly a question popped in his mind and could not resist himself for ask.

"Naina ek sawal tumse puchhna chah raha hun." He hesitated.

"Puchhiye na." She said nonchalantly as not noticed his seriousness.

He inhaled a deep breath and asked seriously. "Naina agar mai nahi aata... Matlab hum phir se nahi milte... to kya tum kisi aur se shaadi kar leti." He waited her answer keeping his eyes on her.

Hearing him, Naina's soul trembled from inside. She didn't understand what to say. If she says yes, then his heart will be broken. But the truth was that she had to marry someone else even if she did not want to. And without answering him, she questioned him.

"Sameer agar yahi sawal aapse puchhu to." And looked at him with painful expression.

"To mera jawab hoga... nahi... mai kabhi shaadi hi nahi karta." He instantly answered.

Naina somewhere relieved and squeezing his hands she said. "Mera answer aapke jawab me hai.

"Kaise." He confused.

"Sameer aap ke liye ye decision lena kitna aasan tha, aap par kisi ka dabaw nahi tha.... Par mere aise decision lene se log meri family par tarah tarah ke sawal uthate, mujh par kai sawal uthate, ho sakta hai mai characterless sabit ho jati...Sameer ek ladki ke liye aise decision lena bahut difficult step hai, aur iska matlab bado aur samaz ke banaye rule ko todna hai, iske liye bahut himmat chahiye hoti hai... Sameer hamare samaz me ladkiyon se decision puche nahi jate, unko decision bataye jate hai... phir chahe uss ladki ki marzi ho ya nahi use apne family ka decision manna hi padta hai. Uske dil ki koi nahi sunta, yaa phir ye kahu koi sunna hi nahi chahata....lekin chacha ji the jinhone hame ye haq diya tha."

"Aur jaise aapne kaha vaise hi kai baar maine bhi socha ki puri zindagi aapki yaadon me guzar dun... par mera saath kaun deta, mai sab se kya kahti ki mai shaadi kyo nahi karna chahati... ya phir ye batati ki mai ek ladke se pyaar karti hun, jiski shaadi...shayad kisi aur se ho gayi hai, aur uski yaad me sari zindagi shaadi nahi karungi... aur wo sab maan jate... nahi Sameer... aur taiji to meri jaan le leti." Her voice was of some sarcastically.

Sameer was listening to her in shock and could not understand what to say and how to console her. Her painful words were tearing his heart. He wanted to stop her but her words made him numb.

"Aapko nahi pata Sameer ye pichhale do sal maine kis tension me guzare hai...Jiske samne shaadi karna hi last option tha... College khatam hote tak to chacha ji ke karan taiji chup baithi thi... lekin jaise hi college khatam hua unka shaadi ke liye rishtey dekhana shuru ho gaya aur har mahine ek ya do rishtey aa hi jate the....Aur isi beech Preeti ka rishta fix ho gaya... unki sagai ke din jija ji ke mausi ka beta Sharad...use mai pasand aa gayi. Preeti ki shaadi ke pahle mera uske saath rishtaa gharwalo ne tay kar diya... Kyonki tab Sharad ko mere aage padne se koi problem nahi thi... uske kuch din baad PG ke liye jab mera collage me admission ho gaya to ye baat unhe achhi nahi lagi aur meri padhai band karne ko kaha... aur apko pata hi hai chacha ji ne rishta tod diya tha." She asked looking at his shocked face.

"Haan Naina... tum kyo un dino ko yaad kar rahi ho... chodo bhi ye sab maine bas aise hi tumse mazak me puchh liya tha... mujhe pata hai Naina ki tumne inn panch saalon me kitna suffer kiya hai." He wanted to stop her but he failed.

"Nahi Sameer aaj mujhe bolne dijiye... uss rishtey ke tutne ke baad taiji meri har choti se choti baat ko meri shaadi se jod deti thi aur aise tane deti ki jaise maine koi paap kar diya ho...mann karta yahan se bhag jau ya phir khud ko khatam kar lun..." A few tears drops leaked out of her eyes and Sameer scooped her in his arms.

She continued again after a brief pause. "mere paas koi nahi tha Sameer jiske saath apna dard bant sakti... bilkul akeli pad gayi thi. Uss time maine bhagwan ji se bahut shikayat kiya tha ki unhone kyo aapko mujhse cheen liya... kabhi kabhi apni kismat par bahut gussa aata aur taiji ki baat sahi lagti ki mai sach me manhoos hun jiski zindagi me koi khushi likhi hi nahi hai... to ab aap hi bataiye Sameer mere paas haa kahne ke alawa koi option tha... aap meri jagah hote to kya karte." She asked looking straight his eyes and tears started brimming from her eyes.

And Sameer regretted, why he brought this topic even he had known her family thoughts and her condition.

He dabbed his thumbs over her soft cheek and stroked her back. "Sorry Naina... mujhe ye bematlab ka sawal puchhana hi nahi chahiye tha..."

When her sob subsided, she said. "Aapko ye janne ka pura haq tha Sameer... jisse kabhi hamare future me koi misunderstanding na create ho... bas wo dard bhare palon ko yaad kar aankhe bhar aayi thi... par ab mai theek hun... aap jab tak mere saath hai mai hamesha muskurati rahungi." She tried to give him a smile but failed as her smile was not reaching her eyes.

Sameer exhaled a long breath and said softly. "Ye hui na meri Naina wali baat jo kitni bhi mushkilon ka samna haste huye kar sakti hai... you are my strong girls."

He pulled her in his tight embrace and rested his cheek on her head.

He rubbed her shoulder from his one hand and said in a heavy voice. "Naina...jaise pichhale panch saal tumhare liye difficult the vaise hi mere liye bhi aasan nahi the. Nanu ka wo heart attack, unko Delhi shift karna, unko jeene ke liye struggle karte dekhana aur phir unki wo unsuccessful surgery, ye sab jab bhi yaad aati hai to andar se ruh kanp jati hai. Unka wo surgery ke liye jane se pahle ka chehara aaj bhi mujhe khud ko kosne par mazboor kar deta hai...ki kyo maine surgery ki permission di... kam se kam jaise bhi hote wo mere saath to hote."

A lone tear drop fell on her hand, she lifted her face to see him. She pulled away him and made his face to look her, then cupped his face and wiped his tears.

"Sameer... aap ne to unko theek karne ke liye surgery ka decision liya tha, isme aap ki koi galti nahi hai... aur phir Nana ji kabhi nahi chahate honge ki aap unhe aise yaad karke roye aur apne ko dukhi kare... aap unke saath bithaye achhe palon ko yaad kijiye... jisse nana ji jahan bhi honge unhe bhi khushi milegi" Naina convinced he was not responsible for nanaji's death.

He was silently listening her and playing her bangles absentmindedly. Seeing his melancholy state she thought how she could deflect his mood .

"Sameer..." She uttered his name softly. "Aapne hi kaha tha na, aaj ek dusre ko janenge to phir ye purani baatein chhodiye, jinhe yaad kar sirf dukh hi milega."

"Hmmm..." He just hummmed and looked at her face.

"Sameer aap mujhe bataiye, aapko mujhme aisa kya achcha laga ki aap ko mujhse pyaar ho gaya...mujhse pahle bhi bahut sari ladkiyan aapke college me aayi thi..." She asked as changing his mood.

"Unme wo simplicity aur purity nahi thi jo tum me hai... Kyonki meri Naina to sabse alag hai... jiski koi barabri kar hi nahi sakta, one and only for me." He replied and holding her face by his one palm looked intensely into her eyes.

"Aur tumhari aankho me ek masumiyat hai... jisme me mai....shayad tumhe pahli baar dekhate hi kho gaya tha. Wo tum pahli ladki thi jise maine dil se dosti karna chaha tha aur phir jaise jaise tumhe janne laga tumhari sadagi aur bholapan mujhe aur tumhari taraf attract karta gaya.... College aate hi sabse pahle meri nazrein tumhe hi dhundhati thi. Jis din tum dikh jaati ya tum se baat ho jaati thi, us din ek ajeeb si khushi mahsoos hoti... Mai tumhare pyaar me padne laga tha... par us time mai iss baat se anjaan tha aur iss feeling ko sirf ek friendship hi samajh raha tha... mai sach me kitna pagal tha." Sameer told his feelings towards her and chuckled thinking about his condition that how he was unable to understand his feeling.

They both become quiet again and remembered those moments when they both realized how they understood, their feeling of love, not just a friendship.

Suddenly something strucked in his mind and asked curiously. "Achcha Naina tumhe kab pyaar ka ehsaas hua... mujhse pahle ya baad me."

Naina chuckled at his eagerness. "Aap se pahle patidev ji...mai aapke jaise buddhu nahi thi. Jinhe dosti ko pyaar samajhane me ek saal lag gaye. Maan lijiye us din aapko misunderstanding nahi hoti tab aap ko to kabhi pyaar ka ehsaas hi nahi hota." She countered him.

"To mai Sunaina se shaadi kar leta..." He quickly replied.

"Kya?... Matlab aap sach me uss faishan ki dukaan se shaadi karte." She threw a pillow to him and he caught it but next moment he scared to see her furious face.

He ran away seeing her shooting eyes to him. She chased him all over the room once and Sameer stopped by the bed which she crushed in his arm and he lost his balance with this sudden jerk and they both landed on the bed. As Sameer's back hit on the bed, his protective arms tightened on her waist and she shut her eyes in fear.

He chuckled and leaned on her ears and whispered. "Aankhen kholo Naina."

She slowly lifted her eyelashes and they both shared a intense eye lock, but soon it broke by the jingling sounds of her bangles.

He said from the core of his heart. "Naina you know, you are the first person who touched my soul and understood me like my Nanu... Naina you are my life just like raindrops falling on a tree growing on dry earth....Naina ye Sameer tumhare bina kuch nahi hai." And he pampered a few kisses on her forehead and both cheeks.

His pamper made her face shy and he enjoyed that shades on her cheeks. He flipped their position now she was beneath of him.

Naina turned her face at a side of shyness as first time they shared such closeness and butterflies were dancing in her stomach as he was top on her.

"Sameerrr."

Naina uttered his name in a low voice when she did not feel any movement from him and looked at him while turning her face. She found, Sameer was lost in her and staring her alluring face.

As hearing her low grunted voice, Sameer drowned those deep ocean and her luscious lips capitative him even more. His desires overpowered his suppression and enthralled by her messy form. He lovingly tucked silky hair strand behind her ears and started to lean over her face. His intense gaze lingered lower on her rosy plum and their breathe intermingled as he stopped just a few inches away. He raised his eyes to see any hesitation on her face.

She was lowered her lashes with blush, when their eyes met as his eyes had conveyed his desires and she had fascinated by his handsome face and she had lost all her senses.

At the same time their sweet moment was broken by a thund sound as a sudden gust of wind had flunged open the window door with a sound and immediately their eyes turned towards the window. At that moment Sameer realized what he was going to do with the flow of intense desires. He cursed himself taking this step and got up from her murmuring. "Khidaki khuli rah gai hai... mai band kar deta hun."

He took a long strides to reach the window and let out a deep breath staring the moon.  When his raging heart and desires were calm down, he turned towards her. He found his wife sitting on the bed with her face down. He regretted of his hastily and did not give her enough time to adjusting herself in this new relationship. He scolded himself for not controlling his desires.

He approached to her for apologizing his mistake but surprised as she made him sit next to her and flunged her arms around his neck. He inhaled her scent dipping his face in her hair.

After a while she parted him and asked cutely. "Sameer aap sach me Sunaina se shaadi kar lete... agar aapko pyaar ka ehsaas nahi hota."

Sameer startled, the way she asked in a helpless voice, as she had accepted what he had said to be true while he was just teasing her.

"No Naina...  aisa kabhi ho sakta tha ki mujhe pyaar ka ehsaas hi nahi hota, kyonki tumhare sachhe pyaar me itni takat thi ki mujh jaise dumbo ko bhi pyaar me padne par mazboor kar diya to phir uss sachche pyaar ka ehsaan kaise nahi hota... Haa mujhe kuch time aur lagta par ehsaas zarur hota... ab ye bekar ki baat chodo aur so jao... aaj ke liye humne bahut baatein kar lee." He said her to stop thinking nonsense.

He got up from the bed and was about to go to his side to sleep but he stopped and turned back as she grabbed his wrist and he raised his brows.

"Sameer....farewell par wo... gana mere liye tha na." She asked hesitantly.

"Off course jaan... tumhare liye hi tha." He said lovingly.

Naina saw a softness in his eyes and requested. "Sameer....aaj na aap ka gana sunne ka mann kar raha hai... aap sunayenge."

He dipped his face with a smile as acceptance and took out his gitar in the upper self of his cupboard. And asked dramatically. "To bataiye madam... aaj aapki khidmat me konsa nagma pesh karu." And he bowed down his head placing his palm over the heart.

She got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Jo hamare Mr. musician husband ki pasand ho." She also joined his drama.

"Aise baat hai to ye gana mai meri beautiful wife ko dedicate karta hun." He pulled a chair next to the bed after made her sit on bed. He then started to sing for his Naina.

Tu, tu hai wahi dil ne jise apna kaha
Tu hai jahan main hoon wahan
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai sazaa

Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah
Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah
Phir hon na judaa haan yeh vaada raha

Main aawaz hoon to tu hai geet mera 
Jahan se nirala manmeet mera 

Mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Phir hon na judaa haan yeh vaada raha 

Tu, tu hai wahi dil ne jise apna kaha 
Tu hai jahan main hoon wahan 
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai sazaa 

Kisi mod pe bhi na yeh sath toote 
Mere hath se tera daaman na chhoote 

Sameer requested Naina to sing. "please Naina tum bhi gao na." And she too joined him with her soothing and melodious voice.

Kabhi khwaab mein bhi tu mujhse na roothe 
Mere pyar ki koyi khushiyaan na loote 

Mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Phir hon na judaa haan yeh vaada raha 

Tu, tu hai wahi dil ne jise apna kaha 
Tu hai jahan main hoon wahan 
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai sazaa 

Sameer came to her and enclosed her in his warmth and sang in his melodious voice.

Tujhe main jahan ki nazar se chura loon 
Kahin dil ke kone main tujhko chhupa loon 

Kabhi zindagi mein pade mushkilein to 
Mujhe tu sambhaale tujhe main sambhaloon
 
Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Ho mil jaayein is tarah do leharein jis tarah 
Phir hon na judaa haan yeh vaada raha

And in last Naina parted away him and they both held each other's hand, looking deeply into each other's eyes and then both sang together.

Tu, tu hai wahi dil ne jise apna kaha 
Tu hai jahan main hoon wahan 
Ab to yeh jeena tere bin hai sazaa 

Phir hon na judaa haan yeh vaada raha 
Yeh vaada raha

As Sameer stopped the sing, brought her hands to his lips and kissed gently her inner palm, pulling her in his embrace.

"Wow Naina tumhari aawaj to bahut meethi hai, ab se kabhi bhi mera gaana sunne ka  mood hua to tumse hi gana sunuga... Yaar tumne ye talent mujhse chhupa ke kyo rakha tha... College time bhi nahi bataya." He surprised.

"Bas kabhi kabhi gunguna leti hun, par aap ki tarah nahi aata hai... wo to aapka cute sa face dekh ke aaj gaa diya." She replied shyly.

"Naina apne is talent ko aise waste mat karo... you have such a amazing voice. Please keep you singing..." He thought something then declared. "Haa ab se tum roj raat ko mujhe apne pyaari si aawaj me lori gaa ke sunana."

Naina astonished by his demand and chided him while going towards the bed. "Aap bachche hai jo mai aapke liye lori gaungi."

And she laid down on the bed and pulled the blanket over her face.

Sameer chuckled to see her blushing face and her objection to sing.

That Night Naina slept peacefully as she thought her chacha ji was not angry with her and Sameer had sang a song for her.

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

In the middle of the night Naina switched on her side table lamp when she heard a shout, which broke her sleep and saw Sameer yalping in pain. She was panicked to see him and asked concernly. "kya hua Sameer....aap andhere me yahan kya dhundh rahe hai."

As Sameer was going to pull something out of his cupboard, but unfortunately his leg hit something, because only the dim light was coming in from the windows and a painful sound escaped out of his mouth. "Ahhh."

"Dhundh nahi raha tha...thand lagi thi to extra blanket lene aaya tha par isse takra gaya...Ye hai kya." He replied in an annoying voice and looked at the things keenly.

"Wo mere bags hai." She muttered.

"To yahan kyo rakha hai... side me rakh deti ya phir Ramdhari se bol kar upar rakhawa deti." He grumbled.

"Wo night dress nikalane ke baad side me rakhana bhul gayi...isme mere kapde hai." She hesitated.

"Kya...tumne ab tak cupboard me nahi rakhe." He shocked.

"Wo dhayan hi nahi gaya aur busy bhi thi." She replied.

"Mai kuch nahi janta kal tumhare kapde iss cupboard me hone chahiye." He ordered sternly.

"Okay...par abhi to so jaiye." She pleaded and seeing his grumpy face, she ordered. "Aap idhar baithiye." She made him sit on the bed and said. "Mai aapke liye blanket nikal deti hun."

When she handed him the blanket ask him . "Jyada chot to nahi lagi."

"Nahi bas thoda sa dard hai morning tak theek ho jaayega." He replied while rubbing his feet.

"Mai balm laga dun." She asked.

"Uski zarurat nahi hai... dard ab nahi hai. Aao tum bhi ab so jao.... mai theek hun Naina." He assured her that he was fine as seeing her concern.

"Aap ko extra blanket ki zarurat kaise pad gai... ek to hai." She asked while sitting on her side.

"Haa hai... nahi thi... kisi ne puri blanket apne taraf kheech li thi... to bechara pati kya karta, dusre blanket nikalane ke sivay aur koi solution nahi tha... Patni to dusre kinare bade maje se soo rahi thi.. ye soche bina ki uska pati thand me titur sakta hai." He made his face like he was a bechara pati. He was showing that he was the innocent husband and that he was bearing all the torture of his wife.

"Sameer... sorry galti ho gayi... Shayad thand ki vajah se kheech liya hoga... vaise aaj room me aaj itni thandi kaise hai." And she scanned the entire room to see if any windows were open and found that a window was open, bringing direct wind to them

"Kal raat aapne hi wo khidki kholi thi maine mana bhi kiya tha... ab saza to use hi milegi na jo galti karega..." She scolded him looking at the open Window.

"Kaise biwi mili hai... kam se kam do shabda pyaar ke bol deti,... lekin nahi, ulta dhant diya ye parwah kiye bina bechara pati kitne dard me hai..." He complained like a kid.

"Par abhi to aapne kaha na ki dard nahi nahi hai." She confused of his changing behaviour.

He slapped himself mentally and muttered. "Hay bhagwan kitni nasamajh hai..." And said in a soft voice. "mujhe to laga tha tumhe sirf darna aata hai...Par tum to kisi pe bhi bhari pad sakti ho...Bach ke rahna padega tumse yaar."

"Sameer aaj kya utpatang baatein kar rahe hai...So jaiye lagta hai aapki chot sar tak pahuch gai hai... agar aur extra blanket chahiye to nikal deti hun." She made him lay down and covered him with a blanket. She gently stroked his hair that he fell asleep soon.

Before sleeping she closed the window and muttered looking him. "Aaj aapke baare me bahut kuch jana... aapke andar bahut bachpana, jise aap apne strict face ke pichhe chhipate hai... aur saath hi bahut saare dard jise aapne apne andar samet liya hai...par mai bhi wada karti hun ki aapke ye saare dard ko khushiyon me badal dungi." She promised herself that she would relieve his pain from his heart.

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

Naina woke up when alarm rang and immediately shut off it of fear that Sameer sleep would be disturb. She tried to get up but Sameer pulled her to him and clutched her one hand.

"Naina so jao... itni subah se utha kar kya karogi." He said in a sleepy voice and again closed his eyes.

Naina stroked his hair and pushed some hair lock back that covered his eyes. She couldn't resist herself to adore his charming face. She leaned to his face and softly kissed on his forehead and whispered. "I love you Sameer."

At the same time her eyes collided with his deep eyes as he opened his eyes. And he whispered too. "Love you to Naina."

She gasped and glanced at his face closely. She wondered that he was in deep slumber that she had dared to take this step and  showed her love. She felt shy to think he had awoken and aware of her every move. She immediately averted her gaze as she realized her position. She tried to move away but his gripped on her hands became more tighter.

"Sameer chhodiye na... mujhe uthna hai." She pleaded.

"Mere samne sharam kyo Naina?... jab aankh band thi tab to bada pyaar dikha rahi thi aur ab... Kyo Naina?." He asked in a husky voice.

"Wo Sameer... bahut kaam hai... Please uthane dijiye... nahi to aap ko aaj bina breakfast kiye jana padega." She gave some excuses to escape of his question.

"Chalega...but first answer me Naina." He prodded her.

While she was trying to escape from his question giving some excuses. But he too adamant today and wanted to know the reason of her hesitation. Because last night he had overcome his desire with great difficulty and now it was like a punishment for him to suppress his wishes, whereas there is no restriction for him.

As when he had closed his eyes after say her to sleep but actually he had not sleep. After a while he was ecstasy as he had felt soft stroke on his head. He had wanted to see her beautiful face but he did not dare to open his eyes as she would fly away. So he had remained with closed eyes. After a while her hot breath fanned on his soft lips that his breath had hitched for a moments and heart had pounded like a jet speed. Then he felt, her face lifted up and her soft lips met his forehead. As he had heard her love expressing, he couldn't stop himself to look her.

"Quick Naina...I don't have a whole day like you." He compelled her.

Seeing no way to escaping from his question, she again leaned on his face and kissed his right cheek. And she ran away into bathroom taking her clothes. As she had taken advantage to him because he was being shocked of this unexpected act by her that his grip had loosen on her.

"You cheated me Naina... you will get punishment for this, so be ready." Sameer said knocking the bathroom door.

Naina was shivered by his warn and after taking a long bath she came out of the bathroom but surprised as he was not in the room. She immediately got ready and fled to kitchen before he come.

Some minutes later he entered with a smile but the vacant room welcomed him. He too quickly got ready.

As he seated for the breakfast, Ramdhari served his coffee with aalu paratha and curd. He annoyed with Naina and said Ramdhari. "Ramdhari jara apni bhabhi ko bhejna."

"Par bhabhi to parathe bana rahi hai... Unhone ne hi hame bheja hai" He innocently answered.

Sameer muttered under his breath. "Naina ka chamcha." Then he said in a sugar coated voice. "Ek urgent baat karni hai... ja jaldi."

"Abhi bula dete hai." Ramdhari agreed.

Naina walked out in urgency to know about important from him. " Kya baat hai Sameer."

"Ye batana ki aalu parathe bahut testy hai... aur ise banane wali aur bhi pyaari hai." He said with a mischief smile.

Naina kept her hands on her waist and she huffed. "to ye tha important... aap na ..."

He ignored her anger, he got up and made her sit next to him, then fed her his own plate. "Tumhe khilane ke liye... tum kyo breakfast nahi kar rahi ho."

"Aapke jane be baad karungi... abhi aapke liye lunch bana rahi thi." She replied.

"Next day se tum mere saath hi breakfast karogi... its my order... aur abhi jaldi se ye ek paratha finish karo... tabhi mai khaunga." He ordered her to have breakfast with him.

Naina quickly finished paratha eating with him. As she was going to kitchen he held her wrist and jerked her towards him and murmured on her ears. "Mujhe mere question ka answer abhi tak nahi mila... mere wapas aane tak... you find the answer, otherwise be ready for my punishment... Sweetheart." And kissed her temple.

He strode his room with a smirk on his face leaving her in a daze. She just had frozen and staring his back to think what he would done with her if she would not give his answer. And a sensation ran all over body.

At the same time Ramdhari voice brought her out of the trance. "Bhabhi Sameer bhaiya ka lunch pack kar de."

She instantly overpowered of her thoughts and entered in the kitchen. She packed the lunch quickly before he would come downstairs and handed the lunchbox Ramdhari to give him. As she could not state to face him.

Sameer face frowned when Ramdhari gave his lunch box and he tried to peek out towards kitchen to catch a glimpse of her but his misery he couldn't not see her. Then he walked out of the house with sulked face as today was a important meeting that he had to reached on the time.

Naina rushed their bedroom as she heard his car honking and immediately appeared to the balcony. She found he was waiting for her. She blushed as he threw a flying kiss to her before starting the car. She leaned on the wall for calm down her thumping heart.

Every time when Sameer was come to her and showed his desires, she would shiver.  But his every touch had given her a new feeling every time and a strange sensation arose inside her. She could not understand what she felt by his touch and why those touches made her feel ecstasy. And today his question had taken their relationship to another aspect. It was difficult for her, but her answer was necessary to take their relationship forward.

She was thinking about it for a long time and a shrill telephone ring broke her thought. She answered casually and was shocked to hear other side a masculine voice.

"Apne dimag par itna pressure mat dalo, abhi pura din hai... lekin usse pahle jakar breakfast kar lo... aur phir mera wait, my dear wife." Sameer chuckled through telephone and she immediately looked all around. She heard his laugh.

"Mujhe dhundh rahi ho... mai to tumhare dil me hu... to phir mujhe bahar kaha paogi janeman."

"Sameerrrr." She miffed.

"Achchha sorry....tumne breakfast kiya na ye janne ke liye call kiya tha... par tumhari khoi hui aawaj sun kar socha tujhe thoda tease kar lu... vaise tumne breakfast kiya na, agar nahi to abhi jao." He disconnected the call after ordering her to take breakfast now.

Naina looked at the receiver in her hands and kissed it. "Kitni care karte hai na aap meri... To Mr. Maheshwari to be ready for my answer." And she twirled holding his photo frame.
