Let's do the chapter huh.
.........................................................................

The laughter together, that surely made the awkwardness away and put the comfort back on. Sonakshi was laughing like with her  heart out. Dev had never seen her laugh like that. She is always either grumpy or confuse or hurt or bossy or just pleasant, but this happy sonakshi....Is just a treat to witness.

Dinesh joins them, saw them happy together and silently thanked his mom for executing his plan successfully. Tina and prabha joins them too.

Dev:- Are its about to be 11, we should leave huh..

Dinesh:- Bhau i was saying, why dont you guys just stay here tonight, we can go together at work tomorrow morning, huh

Sonakshi:- um..Sorry Dinesh ji but staying here at night and then going together at work, i dont think that would present a good scenario to other workers, you know what i mean..

Tina:- Yes, and its 11 only, lonavala is awake all night, we can easily go.

Dinesh:- alright if you say madam.

Prabha call her Nirmala ji to bid them adieu as their loving guest were leaving. Nirmala ji comes up and hugs all three of them and hands them some money just out of love as being their mom-kind.

Nirmala:- Is bar to ladte hue aaye ho, agli bar ladke mat aana, or jab bhi ghar ke khane ki yad aaye, Dinesh Ko bol Dena tumhe yhan chhod jayega. Hume bhot achha lga Tum sab yhan aaye humare sath time bitaya, apna samjha...fir se jarur aana.

{This time you came fighting with each other, next time this shouldn't happen, and whenever you feel like missing homemade food, tell Dinesh he will leave you here, we really appreciate you guys came here, spent time with us, made us feel like your own...do come again okay}

Sonakshi(hugging her again):- Aapse mile Bina yhan se nhi jaoungi, don't worry
{Don't worry, I won't go back without meeting you}

Nirmala :- okay(caressing her cheek, and now turning to Dev) Iska khayal rakhna, ladkiyan thodi complicated Hoti h, har bar wo bolti nhi Jo wo chahti h, to ye tumhara Kam h samjhna...samjhe..

{Take care of her, girls are complicated, they always won't speak what they want and so it's your job to understand what she wants... understood}

Dev(touching her feet):- ho maji. Mai pura Dhyan rakhunga.
{Yes aunty, I'll take care of her}

Sonakshi looks up at him as she just couldn't find him lying. They leave their houses after Sonakshi give some money to Prabha for the kids sleeping inside, Prabha totally denies but Sonakshi insists and give her anyhow.
Dev sat in the front seat as always the driver while Tina sat back, or precisely she laid untieing her shoes giving reason that she is so full that she can't sit for next hour.
Sonakshi sits in her usual place, beside Dev and Dev gears up the engine.

With struggles they move out of the colony and now they are back on the main road. Sonakshi slides the window down and turns towards it, her hair started sprawling on all over her face. Tina sounds fast asleep. The road is silent with just some cars moving. The yellow Street lights made it look all more exclusive for a ride at night. The peace the silence the cold air...it's all so perfect, but God these hair....they keep blocking her view and irritating her even more by making some abstract designs on her face, unnecessarily.

She leans back to her seat and grumpily picks out a pen from the dashboard, put it in between her lips, raises her hand and collect all her hair together in between her fist and twist in round and then swriled it in a bun and then clutches it with the pen..
Dev was watching her while the whole Bun-making-with-pen process, her annoyed face and then her calmed face after the bun, her collar bone peeping out of her boat-neck suit, the dangles are more clear now as no hair is hiding them. A line of some strands still coming out and hanging just beside her cheek. She is much relieved now and thus she turns back to her place, to the window. Now she can enjoy the air more.

Dev slowed the pace of the car, no one  noticed. He wants to savour this ride, she is glowing......because of the nice food I guess. He turns up the radio, she is still not bothered as the gush of the air is making much noise to her ears to even pay attention to anything. She is insanely loving it, but it's not turning nice for him. He is habitual of seeing her face now. He has seen her all evening, her changes of expressions, how she gets confused whenever he does something bold, how her eyes were squeezed shut when she was laughing hard, how she stares at him with open mouth when he made statements faking their marriage, kind of meaning them too, how she was all emotional listening to Nirmala ji telling them her love story, how calm and soothing her face looks right now, when she is savouring the moment, the air. But only problem is, she is keeping her face to herself and not letting him enjoy the view. Moreover, this sneak peak of her sleek collar bone is driving him crazy af.

He leans towards her a little and gently pulls the pen out of her bun, leading  all her hair falling down out of the switch and started flying again in the air, like someone opened the cage for birds and let them fly away. Sonakshi immediately turned and her hand went back to check the pen out.
Dev chuckles as he finally witnesses her horrified expression too.
She looks at him and found the pen in his hand. She made this angry face...and tries to snatch the pen back from him but he takes his hand back and suddenly the steering wheel rounds quite hard and everyone gets a slight turn towards left.
Tina haphazardly wakes up and worries about what happened to which Sonakshi pacifies her and asks her to sleep again.

Dev now focuses on the driving as this distraction can lead onto bigger loss. Sonakshi looks at his horrified face now and started laughing.
He looks at her and she laughed even harder, and he started laughing too.

Sonakshi(her laughter getting slower now):- alright alright...now if u played enough, give me my pen back, I need to make the bun again.

Dev:- nope...

Sonakshi:- what...why...? Stop playing around and focus on driving, you might kill us here.

Dev:- don't worry, nothing will happen to you..and I'm not giving the pen back

Sonakshi:- why the hell not..

Dev:- open hair covers your collar bone............fuck(mutters slowly) I mean...open hair looks good on you and covers...you...and bones...it looks good..keep that.

Sonakshi was again shocked with his words. Does she affect him that much? She looks at her shoulders and saw her collar bone much visible because of the boat-neck. She immediately takes all her hair from behind and puts forward to cover it all.
He clears his throat and raises the volume of the old retro song playing in the radio.

Oh Haseena zulfon wali jan-e-jahan......
Dhundti h katil Aankhen jiska nishaaan...

Damn Mohammad Rafi, you had to come now huh.
Sonakshi giggles over his discomfort and then thinks something evil. He has been evil all the time they met, he has never said something straight to her but always played around bushes right. She would make him struggle even more..
She takes her purse from the back seat and picks out a clutcher from it.
Collecting her hair back again on her fist, she makes an even higher bun this time clutching all her hair together. Showing her collar-bone even more...beat that! Mr.Dev Dixit. Huh!

Dev looks at her as the movement of her hands drew his attention and saw her smiriking while knotting all her hair together in even higher bun. Her nape is visible too now. He was cursing himself for blurting out the truth. She is totally playing around him and liking to watch him struggle.
He decided he won't give in to what she wants and faced back to the road and promised himself to not look back at her again.

The road has come to an end as they reached their destination. Sonakshi was little upset as Dev wasn't looking at her while the drive but she did caught him peeping a little in between through the very corners of his eyes. She was happy by herself.

Dev stops the car and tries to wake up Tina. She wakes up and Sonakshi helped her go inside her camp and sleep. She decided to go in and sleep too but then suddenly she got reminded that Dev might be leaving for Navi Mumbai now as his luggage was in the back of the car, her heart sank, they had the best time together till now. She might not see him again. She thought of meeting him for the last time, their bond...their  connection, deserves that.

She rushes towards him and found him leant on the side of the car watching the time in his wrist watch. Just like a 90s heroin of Bollywood, she rushes to him panting and he was exquisetly happy seeing her. They run towards each other in slow motion and hug together. Love was in the air.....all around them.

Nope..come back to life...I'm fooling you all.

She nervously walks to him, he was checking his luggage if anything he left here or not. She stood in front of the bonnet and knocks it. He heard the sound and closes the dickei lid. She was standing right in front of him.
He comes to her.

Sonakshi:- I.....I guess I left my wallet...in the car..

Dev:- um okay....but you don't carry a wallet....but fine...you can check

Sonakshi(beating ass of her own in her mind):- oh yeah....hehehe(chuckling nervously) yeah...I don't carry wallets.....
Um okay then........Bie.... Have..have a safe journey, it's night, obviously heheh.

Dev smiles at her nervousness, she definitely didn't come for wallet, he can't just let her go, she is trying hard. And as Maaji said, she won't always tell him what she wants. Oh she is adorable..! just go grab her and hug her you poop of a snail.

Sonakshi saw him smiling and not saying a word, maybe this is it then. She should leave. She turned to back but then suddenly felt a pull in her hand and then a stronger pull in her body and her bodice automatically turned and slammed into him.
He hugged her. Embracing her petite bodice in her arms and hiding his face in her neck. Sonakshi was so flabbergasted with the sudden unexpected hug that it took her minutes to consider it a hug and respond back. She scooted closer to him and wrapped her arms around his back.

For what felt like a minute, they parted over and Dev held her shoulders to keep her closer to him.

Dev:- you owed me the hug.

Sonakshi:- uh-huh...for what good reason did I owe you...

Dev:- well....for cooking Maggie for you, and...and....saving you from falling today and and..... Stopping maaji from giving you extra chillies.....

Sonakshi(stopping in between):- and leaving me...and not kissing me again....and not....(lump in her throat made her halt) and not staying with me.

Dev looked in her eyes and saw it brimming with tears. He kissed her immediately, right then and there. But she pulled back immediately, albeit thats all she ever wanted. That's all she was looking for, that's all she was hurt for.
Dev was clueless for why she pulled away from him.

Sonakshi:- I don't want this begged kiss.

Dev looked at her. Of course...how could he forget she is THE SONAKSHI BOSE.  She has her self-esteem and ego at first. She never gives in. How could he expect her to give in now. She won't change for him obviously but he can't let her go now. She has said it, clear and precise...he should die if he is even thinking of running again. He wants her as bad as she does.

He goes on his knees and held her hands. She was taken aback by his sudden action.

Dev:- Miss..Sonakshi Bose, I'm requesting you to let me have my share of kiss and not consider it as your demand. It's mine. For the last time at least......

Sonakshi melted by his words, as obvious, made him stand up, raised on her toes and kissed him. A quick sweet peck, Dev smiled blushingly. She parted away and said

"I'm having some confusion with the selection of flowers....would ya mind helping out a little here..."

He smiled from one ear to another and scopped her in his arms immediately and swirled her around. She squealed with fear and happiness both at the same time holding his shoulders tightly.
He looks at her and said  "I'm always here for you".

She smiles with a blush. He puts her down in her feet and opens the clutcher she has knotted her hair with. Her hair falls down immediately, getting the freedom. He caresses her hair a little and then takes his hand back slowly while touching her collar-bone. She shudders with the touch and closes her eyes.

"You look beautiful with open hair"
