'Major NItesh Kulkarni. Ke account statements. '

Naina surprisingly looks from her laptop at him. Sujal has happened to meet this guy who somehow was related to Some Major. When he looked more into it that major came out as Mr.Kulkarni. and Sujal being Sujal probed. Well....just for Naina'sanity. Nothing more. The way she has been working she must be needing some help and he The Sujal Grewal knows how to be benevolent.

Not the right term to use when you help your own wife...and she might treat you good! He shuts his mind and speaks...

'Check third page. Twenty lakhs three times. And it is being deposited by his own wife. And now this amount has been donated to this foundation just few months back. You know this foundation?'

'Way Up Child Care Foundation. I....I think I have heard something like this before.'

'Geeta Vaghel is director. Distant cousin Sister of Major Nitesh' wife. It is money laundering Naina. Anyone can tell this. This sixty lakh was bribe. Major Nitesh was bribed.'

Naina looks at him with puzzled look.

'Who made you army officer? Are you stupid? Major Kulkarni or I must say Captain Kulkarni. Kuch yaad aya!'

'Captain Nitèsh Kulkarni. The officer who arrested My brother. Fuck!!!

You are awesome Sujal.'

And she has leapt to him jumping in his arms and kissing him squarely.

He responds but she has pulled out. She wipes her lips and read that file again.

Sujal is watching her.

'How did you get this? Major Kulkarni to chal ke aya nahi hoga.' Naina enquires with head dipped low in file.

'Aam khao. Ped mat gino.' And he goes out suppressing a chuckle. Getting on her nerves sometimes is easy. Now she will be cursing him. He laughs...

He goes to kitchen where he accidentally meets with KAshish. His laugh dies so does the sanity. A hurricane dances in front of him. He is about to go back.

'Sujal.'

He halts..

'I am sorry.'

He is taken aback now.

'Main...Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha kaise but...I want to apologize..i know..what I did was completely deception on my side. Lekin...' kashish is fumbling. Sujal is restless on other hand.

These exact words if spoken some times ago would have made him happy but...Instead it has just made him restless. He is tensed...way tensed. Kashish^ apology was much needed and the most sought but......

Why it sounds so scandalous!!

'Please forgive me Sujal. I am sorry.'

Sujal stares at her. Kashish. For a second his brain goes back. This is KAshish Sinha. His Kashiah Sinha...

No. She is Kashish Raheja. Piyush' Kashish. More than six long months...and he has been perishing all that time. A fire burning him so slow. But relief wont come. And now when kashish is trying to perhaps make ame ds....He has no strength left to turn. He takes one step back. And soon he is in flight to his room.

He falls next to Naina who is doing something with some reports. With a turmoil going inside him he silently sits there. But time doesn't pass. It has stopped. The hands of clock are either stuck or he is in time loop.

Soon it goes out of his hand. His heart shouts to Naina and it goes inaudible. An urge to release his pain...but why to Naina...He has no idea.

'Kashish apologised to me.'

Naina looks up..

'Kitchen me..She asked ki Main use maaf kar du.'

Naina keeps looking on. He looks back. Those eyes they somewhere mocks him. For being an idiot lover whocould never see beyond His so called lover! He knows her exact words. God! She had mocked him before. And he is enraged. He wants to hold her and ravish her so that these eyes would grow tired and emotions in them will be changed. But instead he holds back wondering what he will do if not losing his hold on a horny version of himself. The stare game goes on and soon he feels as if he is hypnotized. The stare is changing into eye lock. Suddenly everything goes smooth and invisible.his eyes hooked on hers....Trying to complain. A soft emotion awakes in her eyes....making him giddy.

She comes close..and pecks him. And then goes back to her files leaving him dazed and hooked. The way he has been before. A part of him always full of her. When it happened doesn't matter but....She was there suddenly alive and Tall.

Most of his attachment to her is because of his carnal part. Physical intimacy he needs from her. Between her sessions and her daily nine to five HQ visits Sujal somewhere seeks her so that he can kiss her and forget.  Her lips like a reboot to his system. Her touch like magic. Her Eyes the gateway to heaven...and not only this...Her mouth also is wonderful.

Suddenly Kashish' image vivid and clear appears in front of him. Not so long before he has seen her. He tries to avoid her at any cost. He even stopped going R&G office But today out of nowhere she herself approached him and did what was unexpected.

His head suddenly burns up. His body is about to convulse. Before he can fall limp he runs to bathroom where Naina went few minutes ago leaving him so thoughtful.

'Open the door Naina.' He beats the door.

Door opens few minutes later and the moment he sees her, his lips jumps to her.

And she tastes unusual. What the heck! Mint! What she did? Gargle with raw mint or wiped her tongue with some mint mouthcleaner. It's strange. His mouth is suddenly hot and cold at the same time. He pushes her in. Ramming her to shower stall he lets the shower flow. Her wet form. Those eyes...her hair sticking to his face and there is a pen mark on her cheek. He wipes it. His cold fingers touches her hot cheek. A spark passes through his being. Suddenly he holds her both hands and slams his lips on her. His lips sucking hers while her nails digging in his both palms respectively. Not before long her hands are dragged over her head by him and he is kissing her insanely. Water dripping down on them. Later his one hand drops to her  neck and slowly caress it. Then her arm...and when he leaves her lips he trails a series of small kisses on her neck and chin.

Shower is till runninbut he stops. He removes his shirt and makes her loose her her tee. She has not been wearing any bra. It surprised him. He holds one of her breasts and kisses it. Just above her nipple..his mouth ascends and soon he is kissing her back again. He has no idea why or how but his lips have gone lazy and soft on hers. He keeps on sucking her lips and finds her hands in bis hair. He knows his manhood will be poking her. But a sober part of him pushes primal side of him. He turns the shower off amd scoops her up. He wipes her and himself with towel. Then takes her to the bed. Pulling out clothes for her and himself...

She changes and with a weird glance to him she indulges in her work. He knows she must be cursing him for not ending what he started. In fact it has surprised him too. It was supposed to be vent out but suddenly out of nowhere he has no zeal left to fuck her like he used to do. Naina under him because he just saw kashish makes him uneasy. The excitement about hardcore sex is not abated but bending her so that he can shut his mind while ramming into her sounds so bad. No idea how..

He observes her. She has been done with her work and is going out for dinner. Today she is late again so she will eat in room.  He knows it.

He knows something about naina. Wow. What a discovery! Mr. Sujal Grewal.

He switches on tv and watches some replay of matches. Switching channels after channels. When she comes back to room she has no plate. It makes him sad. Naina is complete puzzle. She ia unpredictable. He gets up but heats something.

'Pattagobhi bana he dinner me.'

And he halts.

'Main maggie bana raHi hu. You want?'

'Yeah..sure. but dont bring any sauce. My stomach cant not take them.'

She nods and returns with two full bowls of Maggie.

He eats silently and soon they are done. He takes the bowls and cleans them as this time there is nobody to do it..moreover Ma will kill him if she finds any dirty utensil in sink in the morning.

When he comes back to his room he finds her watching some sort of documentary..he goes to his side amd tries to sleep...

His mind drifting to his new discovery that naina can cook Maggie. Wow. What a surprise. Looking at her he had guessed that she would be having no idea how to boil water. Because he himself hadn't. If not for....

Kashish....

Kashish is his doom. He sees it clearly. After getting hurt in this hell he knows his return path to Naina. Seeking her help. He knows she doesn't do charity. The so called help is needed on both sides. But....it is either changing or moulding. He is unable to put his finger on it. Yes. He loves when he kisses her. Yes. She arouses him. Yes. She can have  him the way she wants...but....The idea of rebound never emerges. It dissipates even before. He accepts it or not....marriage with Naina could have been his rebound if Not for those months when she never came home. They could be doing things for running away from problems just after one month of marriage. But now...it is changed and he knows it. It is scary as well as troublesome.

Perhaps the whole idea of marriage was idiotic or may be it was not.

Sujal feels next of his side dipping. She has lied down. He feels her moving her hair aside.

His mind is suddenly filled with a particular apple' fragrance. He smiles because he has no affection to apple.

He drifts in sleep silently with soft feeling beside him....and it has been easier than before.
