It was the time of night, the moon and stars were twinkling in the sky. The soft breeze of the night was playing with the flowers and curtains of the houses.

Sameer and Muskan were standing in Muskan's room. Muskan was looking at Sameer who looked at her.

Sameer: Mujhe lagne laga tha ke Karan tumhe like karta hai.

Muskan was shocked and she was looking at Sameer who was looking at Muskan innocently.

Muskan: What?

Sameer turned to Muskan. Sameer avoided eye contact.

Sameer: Muskan, don't get me wrong. Main wahi keh raha hun jo maine feel kiya. I know, tum dono salon se friends ho but main kya karun jab bhi main tum dono ko sath main dekhta tha to mujhe...

Muskan: to tumhe kya?

Sameer looked at Muskan and again he looked down. Muskan thinks and she remembered that after their marriage, Sameer usually got angry or uneasy when Karan comes. She remembered that Sameer looked here and there when Muskan and Karan talked and it happened today also. Muskan looked at Sameer.

Muskan: kahin tumhe asa to nahi lagta tha ke mere aur Karan ke bich kuch chal raha hai.

Sameer looked at Muskan.

Sameer: Nahi, Muskan, I knew that you love me but Karan...

Sameer looked down.

Sameer: woh jis tarha se tumhe dekhta tha.

Muskan was looking at him.

Sameer: ab is main meri kya galti, Karan hamesha tumhare sath chipak kar bethta tha aur tum bhi us ke sath zyada enjoy karti thi to main kya karta mujhe laga... Is main meri kya galti,

Muskan was looking at Sameer.

Muskan: tum Karan se jealous hote the?

Sameer looked at Muskan shockingly.

Sameer: of course, not. Main, main kyun jealous hone laga.

Muskan nodded and suddenly Muskan starts laughing. Sameer was surprised.

Muskan: oh my God. Sameer, tum, tum Karan se jealous hote the.

Muskan laughed. Sameer got irritated.

Sameer: main jealous nahi hota tha.

Muskan shook her hand while laughing.

Muskan: Oh My God!

Sameer: Muskan, stop laughing.

Muskan was laughing.

Sameer: Muskan... Muskan, I am telling you, I... Muskan stop laughing... Muskan.

Muskan was laughing and Sameer got frustrated. Sameer held Muskan's hand and pulled her to him. Muskan landed in Sameer's chest and Sameer held Muskan's waist. Muskan was looking at Sameer shockingly.

Sameer: hunso, ab, hunso.

Muskan looked down and she felt shy. Muskan kept her hair behind her hair. Sameer smiled to see her blush. Sameer kept her hair behind her second ear and cupped Muskan's face. Muskan was looking down.

Sameer: Muskan.

Muskan looked at Sameer who was looking at Muskan lovingly. They were lost in the eyes of each other and Sameer looked at Muskan's lips. Sameer looked at Muskan who was looking at him cutely. Sameer leaned to her lips and they heard Ambika call their name. Muskan came back to reality so, she pushed Sameer and ran from there. Sameer looked at Muskan and he realized what he was about to do. Sameer blushed by pressing his lips with his teeth and keeping his hand in his hair. Sameer ruffled his hair.

Muskan came to the living area while smiling and Sameer came after her. He was also smiling. Muskan saw the family and stood there.

Muskan: Mom, aap ne bulaya?

Ambika: Han, beta. Betho.

Sameer came and he stood beside Muskan.

Ambika: aa beth, tu bhi.

Sameer frowned and nodded. Sameer and Muskan sat.

Sameer: anything serious?

Ambika smiled.

Ambika: no, everything is fine. Maine is liye bulaya ke do din bad shadi ke functions start ho jaenge to tum dono ne apni taraf se sari tiyari kar li hai? Outfit wagera sab check kar liya hai?

They nodded.

Muskan: Yes, mom, maine sare outfit kal raat ko try kar liye the. Sab ki fitting theek hai.

Ambika: Good. Aur tu ne Sameer.

Sameer: maine bhi kar liye the try.

Indravati: chalo, acha hai.

Vijay: aur cards?

Sameer: Main mere friends ko to de aya hun baki... Muskan, tumhare friends?

Muskan: Mujhe to yeh yaad hi nahi tha.

Everyone was shocked.

Muskan: mere dimagh se bilkul hi nikal gaya.

Ambika: ab?

Muskan: main kal Arun se bol kar sab ko card aur sweets sends karwa dungi. List to bana li thi maine.

Ambika: theek hai, Beta. Yaad se kar lena.

Muskan: Ji.

They smiled then they discussed about things.

Ambika: Sab ho gaya?

Everyone smiled.

Muskan: Ab, do din bad se functions start ho jaenge aur kal Chachu wale bhi ajaenge to main soch rahi thi ke un ke aane se pehle main Rajput mansion shift ho jaun.

Sameer was shocked. Ambika got sad. Sameer looked down.

Ambika: tere bina yeh ghar phir se soona ho jaye ga.

Vijay: of ho, Ambika, ek hafte ki to baat hai.

Ambika made a sad face and others smiled except Sameer.

Ambika: mann to nahi kar raha lekin tujhe rok bhi nahi sakti.

Muskan smiled.

Muskan: Theek hai jaa.

Sameer looked at Ambika and Muskan smiled. Sameer looked down

Muskan: Thank you.

They smiled. Muskan looked at Sameer who also looked at her. Muskan was smiling and Sameer smiled faintly. Muskan's smile faded to see him. Sameer looked down and Muskan thinks.

Later, Sameer was standing on the terrace and he was looking at the sky because he was upset that Muskan will go from there again. Muskan came while carrying two cups of coffee. She stopped to see Sameer and smiled. Muskan came forward and she stopped at some distance. Muskan tapped the cups together and Sameer came out of his thoughts. Sameer turned and he smiled because he is used to do it. Muskan showed the cup.

Muskan: Coffee.

Sameer smiled. He came to Muskan who gave him a cup.

Sameer: Thank you.

Muskan smiled. They moved to the swing and sat on it. They sipped the coffee and Muskan looked at Sameer then she sipped her coffee and Sameer did the same.

Sameer: So. Kal ja rahi ho.

Muskan looked at Sameer and she smiled.

Muskan: hmm.

Sameer looked at her.

Sameer: Mujhe phir se chor kar.

Muskan got shocked and felt bad but she covered it with her smile.

Muskan: agar jaungi nahi to phir tum mujhe lene kaise aaoge?

Sameer smiled.

Sameer: yeh bhi hai.

Muskan smiled.

Muskan: hmm. Aur phir hum sab sath rahenge.

Sameer smiled.

Sameer: is ke bad main tumhe kahin jane nahi dunga. Mark my words.

Muskan smiled.

Muskan: ok, boss.

Sameer smiled.

Sameer: Chachu se baat hoi tumhari?

Muskan: han, ho gai hai. Mom ne bhi baat ki.

Sameer: Chachu maan gaye yahan aane ke liye?

Muskan: Mom ko koi na keh sakta hai?

Sameer smiled.

Muskan: Han karwa kar hi mani. Chachu ne kaha ke pehle yahan aenge phir yahan se hum jaenge. Maine to socha tha Airport se sidha chale jaenge lekin...

Sameer made a face.

Sameer: Tumhe to bohat jaldi hai yahan se jane ki.

Muskan smiled to see him and Sameer looked straight. Muskan thought to tease Sameer.

Muskan: Han mera ghar hai woh.

Sameer: aur yeh.

Muskan: Yeh bhi mera ghar hai.

Sameer: phir. Kya problem hai yahan rehne main?

Muskan: Maine kab kaha ke mujhe problem hai.

Sameer remained silent.

Muskan: acha ab coffee peene do mujhe. Phir mujhe sona bhi hai subha jaldi uthna hai packing karni hai kal jana jo hai.

Sameer: Muskan, mere samne jane ki baat mat karo.

Muskan: Kyun?

Sameer: bus kaha na, mat karo to mat karo.

Muskan: lekin kyun?

Sameer: mujhe kuch hota hai.

Muskan laughed and Sameer looked at her. Muskan was shocked to see him sad.

Muskan: Sameer?

Sameer: jab bhi tum dur jane ki baat karti ho to mujhe bohat bechaini hoti hai.

Muskan: sorry, main to mazak kar rahi thi.

Sameer looked down.

Muskan: Acha choro yeh sab kuch aur baat karte hain.

Sameer looked at Muskan and smiled. They talked about their office work.

The next day, in an airport, Sameer and Muskan were waiting for Chachu and his family and they were looking for them.

Muskan: Abhi tak aye kyun nahi.

Sameer: flight to land ho gai hai phir itna time kyun lag raha hai?

They came.

Muskan: woh rahe.

They smiled. The Rajput family came and they met. Jiya hugged Avni. She is five years younger than Avni.

Jiya: I missed you so much, Di.

Muskan cupped Jiya'a face.

Muskan: aww, my Baby.

Sameer smiled. Muskan kissed Jiya's forehead.

Jiya: Jiju.

Sameer smiled and Muskan felt a shiver in her body when Jiya called Sameer Jiju even Sameer felt the same. Jiye hugged Sameer.

Sameer: How are you?

Jiya: Super fine.

They smiled.

Sameer: that's good. Chalen?

Chachu: yes.

Sameer helped Chachu to pull the trolley. They go. Soon, they reached home. The Rathore family welcomes them and they met. They sat in the living area.

Vijay: Sab kuch aram se ho gaya na?

Chachu: Ji, Ji, ho gaya.

Jiya: I am so tired.

Muskan: oh my lazy sister. Come, have some rest in my room.

Everyone smiled.

Jiya: ok.

Indravati: aap log fresh ho jaiye. Khanna tiyar hai.

They nodded.

Ambika: aaiye main aap logon ko guestroom dikha deti hun.

They got up and goes. Muskan took Jiya with her. Soon, the day converted into the night. They had dinner and sat in the living area. They talked.

Chachi: ab humain chalna chahiye. Raat bhi kafi ho gai hai.

Sameer was shocked. He looked at Muskan who was sitting on another couch.

Chachu: hmm, sahi kaha. Ab humain ijazat dijiye.

Vijay: kuch dair aur bethte to acha hota.

Chachu: ab to mulaqat hoti rahegi.

They smiled. Sameer was upset.

Muskan: main, mera bag le kar aati hun.

They nodded. Muskan got up and goes. Sameer was looking at her.

Muskan came to the room and she goes to the bed. Muskan kept her phone in her handbag and her suitcase was also kept on the bed. Muskan held its handle then someone else also held it. Muskan understood who is that person. Muskan looked at the person and it was Sameer. Muskan took her hand back. Sameer pulled down the bag and then he pulled out the handle. Muskan saw that Sameer is not looking at her. Sameer took a step but Muskan held his wrist so, Sameer stopped.

Muskan: Sameer.

Sameer didn't look up.

Muskan: Sameer, look at me.

No use.

Muskan: Sameer.

Sameer looked at Muskan and Muskan was shocked to see his teary eyes. Muskan felt a pinch in her heart. Sameer gulped and looked away. Sameer wiped his tears. Muskan cupped Sameer's face who looked at her with teary eyes. Muskan wiped his eyes.

Muskan: pagal. Sahi kehti hain mom bilkul bache ho tum. Ase rota hai koi.

Sameer looked away.

Muskan: do din ki to baat hai phir shadi ke functions start ho jaenge.

Sameer: do din nahi teen din. Haldi ki rasam to apne apne ghar ho gi.

Muskan smiled.

Muskan: hum milenge na cafe main.

Sameer: to mat jao na.

Muskan: phir humari shadi kaise hogi?

Sameer: shadi ke liye jana zarori hai kya?

Muskan made a face.

Muskan: yeh humara decision tha na.

Sameer: mujhe kya pata tha ke asa hoga warna main kabhi han nahi karta.

Muskan smiled.

Muskan: Pagal.

They looked at each other. They heard the knock on the door and saw a lady.

Lady: aap dono ko niche bula rahe hain.

Muskan nodded. Sameer and Muskan looked at each other. Muskan also got emotional. Sameer hugged her and their eyes were teary. They closed their eyes. They were feeling their heart heavy. They wiped their tears and broke the hug. They looked at each other. Sameer cupped Muskan's face.
