"Thank you very much Sanyukta." Randhir said hugging her carefully.

"Kyu?" Sanyukta almost whispered.

"For convincing Roja, I was worried very much but felt relaxed now." Randhir said slowly when Sanyukta frowned heard Roja's name.

"Isse toh bass ussi ki padi hain, hume bahar jana tha yeead hain vi ke nehi?" She made a face.

"Randhir tumhe koynsa phool pasand hain, gulab ka?" Sanyukta asked when Randhir looked at her confusingly.

"Phool, suddenly yeh sawal?" He asked confusingly.

"Nehi socha puch leti hu maybe you like roses. *pause* Aajkaal jab dekho uss Roja ka hi naam japte rahete ho!" She murmured the last line under her breath which is audible for her only.

"Sanyukta you must be forgotten that I am a guy not a girl who likes roses. We men likes tough things." He said proudly.

"I knew it ke tumhare pass dil nehi hain, tabhi toh tumhe flowers pasand nehi." She said hoarsely cause of her pregnancy hormones. Just few minutes back she thought that he might like Roja and now she said him heartless.

"When did I say that?" Randhir raised his brows.

"Aabhi tumhine kaha ke you don't like roses, you like tough things." She replied immediately.

"I said I don't like roses but I like flowers as others like. Aur rahi baat dil ki toh tum khud hi dekh lo." He said placing her palm on his left chest.

"Are you feeling it?" Randhir whispered near her ear when she shivered as his lips brushed on her earlobe slightly. She was feeling his heart beat silently when he hold her so close to him. She felt his hot breath on her cheek when she rested her head on his chest.

"Can you here it Sanyukta?" He asked when she jolted up and came out from his hold when he looked at her confusingly.

"Tumhara heart beat kuch jyada hi fast hain, jau jake check up karwao aapna." She said looking everywhere but at him.

"Keya yaar itna achchha romantic mood ka kabara kar diya!" He became disappointed when she controlled her smile.

"I think hume bahar jana tha." She changed the topic.

"Bahar; nehi toh, mujhe nehi jana." He shrugged his shoulders thus Sanyukta looked at him in disbelieve.

"You know what meri hi galti thi jo tumhare liye wait kiya jabke mujhe didi aur bhabhi ke saath chale jana chahiye tha. But koi baat nehi main aabhi chali jati hu." She said angrily and about to go when Randhir hold her hand.

"Where are you going wifey when your hubby is here?" He said teasingly and pulled her thus she bumped with his chest.

"Leave me." She started struggling when he caught her more tightly.

"Aare main toh bass mazak kar raha tha." He said when she looked at him confusingly.

"Hum jayenge na bahar to spend some quality time sweetheart." He winked at her thus her cheeks flushed.

"Mujhe nehi karna koi time spend wo vi tumhare saath, mujhe bass kuch kapde kharidne hain kyu ki pehele ke sab tight ho gaye hain." She said not looking at him.

"Hmm matlab mera pocket khali karne ka irada hain, aaisa bolo na wifey." He said teasingly when she frowned.

"Huhhh, mujhe koi saukh nehi hain tumhare jeb khali karne ka, maa ne mujhe yeh credit card diya hain shopping karne ke liye toh phir mujhe tumhare paiso ki koi jarurat nehi." Sanyukta said showing the card when Randhir just whistled.

"Keya baat hain Sanyukta, mom ne mujhe toh kabhi nehi diya aapna credit card aur tumhe de diya!" He said teasingly when Sanyukta gave him a proud smile.

"Aab chale Mrs. Shekhawat?" He asked when she raised her brows. Why he called her by several name, can't he just called her by her name?

"My name is Sanyukta." She said and walked past him away when she heard his reply.

"And I know that."

Soon they get ready and after an another course of teasing by Ragini and Anjali finally they went for the shopping.

"Randhir stop the car." Sanyukta said in the way.

"But why, we don't even reach?" Randhir asked confusingly.

"Cause mujhe pani puri khana hain." Sanyukta said looking at the pani puri stall.

"Are you out of your mind Sanyukta, that's so unhygienic tum wo nehi kha sakti." Randhir said twitched his nose.

"I don't care I just want to eat pani puri." She cringed.

"No means no." He denied straight and accelerated the car don't gave an ear to her cringes.

"Come." He said as they reached at the shopping mall but Sanyukta don't say a single word and went inside after glaring him hard.

"Aab isse keya huya? Yeh aur isski mood swings, ohh god!" He shook his head and followed her.

"Why are you following me?" Sanyukta frowned at Randhir.

"Aare maine tumhe kab follow kiya, hum saath saath hi toh aaye hain yeha!" Randhir replied surprisingly.

"Look this is ladies section so you don't have to come here, I can manage." Saying this Sanyukta step forwarded without waiting for his reply when he stood there dumbstruck. Sanyukta came to the lingerie section as she was looking for bra.

"What size you wear before ma'am?" The seals girl asked her.

"I....umm size 34." Sanyukta almost whispered and her cheeks turned pink.

"Ma'am 34A, B or C?" The girl asked the accurate size.

"Umm I don't know, I wear only size 34." Sanyukta lowered her lashes as she felt embarrassed.

"Okay don't worry ma'am, let me take the measurement." The girl said taking the measurement tape when Sanyukta noticed Randhir walk inside the store and she gasped.

Randhir saw a girl holding measurement tape around his wife's breast and his eyes became widened when Sanyukta turned into red.

Randhir started to walk up to Sanyukta, he feeling awkward going into the lingerie section. He had only came in because he found his mom's credit card in his wallet and he came to give it to Sanyukta.

"Ma'am you can wear 34C now." The girl said removing the tape when both Randhir and Sanyukta looked everywhere but at each others.

"Main yeh card dene aaya tha." Randhir said slowly showing her the credit card when Sanyukta glared at him.

"Okay main cash counter mein wait kar raha hu." Said this Randhir just vanished from there next.

"Ma'am will you like to trial some of them?" The girl asked showing her some bras when Sanyukta nodded negatively.

"No no, I don't want to trial, you just pack them." Sanyukta said slowly and came out from the lingerie section where he met with Randhir who was roaming around.

"Done?" Randhir forced a smile when Sanyukta just glared at him.

"Tumhe ek baar mein baat samajh mein nehi aata, jab maine bola tha yeha rukne ko toh aandar kyu aaye?" Sanyukta hissed in anger but her words were audible for Randhir only.

"Look that's not my fault, you have to told me clearly that what you up to, toh phir main nehi jata na aandar!" He sounds to be innocent.

"Aur tum time itna jyada le rahi thi so I thought you might be need some help." He sounds confident when Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"You want to help me?" She asked thus he nodded positively.

"Okay then let me help in rest of the shopping." She said when Randhir take a relief of sigh with the thought that she was not angry anymore.

"Okay as you wish wifey, your wish is my command, come." Randhir bent down a little and went towards the ladies section.

"Bahut saukh hain na meri help karne ki, okay as you wish my dear hubby. But one thing I promise that you won't forget this shopping husband dearest." And Sanyukta smirked evilly.

Randhir and Sanyukta came to the ladies section where the stuff greeted them.

"Ma'am how can I help you?" The sales girl asked politely.

"Show us some best designer clothes." Randhir said to the sales girl.

"Randhir kapde mujhe lena hain toh phir main decide karungi." Sanyukta said thus Randhir nodded positively.

"Randhir how is this?" Sanyukta show him a dress.

"Good le lo." Randhir shows his thumbs up.

"Aare aaise kaise aur vi toh dekhne do." Sanyukta said and smirked inwardly.

"Okay as you wish!" Randhir shrugged his shoulder.

After one and half an hour, Randhir was stood in front of the trial room with some dresses on his hand, some were on his shoulder and neck too. He looks like a cartoon when others were laughing looking at him, Randhir also forced smile towards them.

"Sanyukta how much time, 45 minutes se khada hu?" Randhir asked impatiently to Sanyukta who was inside the trial room.

"Two minutes Randhir." Sanyukta said from inside.

"Pichle aadhe ghante se 2 minutes 2 minutes hi bol rahi ho, hurry up." Randhir said irritatingly.

"So it's your decision to help me in my shopping, aagar tumhe help nehi karna tha toh phir bola kyu? Main didi aur bhabhi ke saath aah jati!" Sanyukta said from inside while smirked naughtily. She purposely take so much time in the trial room.

"Okay okay I'm sorry, now please hurry up." Randhir said when Sanyukta came out.

"Done?" Randhir asked hopefully.

"Nope, zara wo pink wala dena." Sanyukta said kept a dress on Randhir's head.

"But wo toh tum already try kar chuki ho!" Randhir said confusingly removed the dress from his head.

"Haan try toh kiya tha but thoda sa confused hu so phirse ek baar try karna hain." She said innocently when Randhir just pushed her inside the trial room gently and he himself came inside it also.

"Wh-what, keya kar rahe ho?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Tumhe keya laag raha hain ke tum keya kar rahi ho?" Randhir asked crossing his hands against his chest.

"Keya matlab keya kar rahi hu, trial de rahi hu kapdo ki!" She tried to sounds confident.

"Ohh really!" Randhir raised his brows.

"Then do it." He said when locked the door.

"What do you mean by that, tu-tum pehele bahar jau." Sanyukta stammered badly.

"Aare mujhe bahar jane ki keya jarurat hain baby, I'm your husband so you can do it in front of me too." He smirked naughtily.

"Chiii, how cheep, just go out Randhir." She said annoyingly.

"Aare iss mein cheep keya hain, aab meri wife koynsi dress mein jyada achchhi dikhegi wo toh main hi batayunga na!" He said naughtily.

"Haan toh uske liye tumhe yeha rukne ki keya jarurat hain, tum bahar jau main change karke tumhe dikhati hu na." She gulped hard.

"Aare Sanyu kitne saare dresses hain, baar baar door open and close karogi toh aur vi jyada time lagega na, let's save some time baby." He winked at her when take steps towards her.

"R-Ra-Randhir keya kar rahe ho, bahar jau aabhi ke aabhi!" Sanyukta stammered when take steps back when Randhir pinned her against the wall.

"Kyu keya huya wifey plan backfire ho geya?" Randhir asked when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"What do you think that am not get you Sanyukta?" Randhir asked looking at her eyes.

"Keya matlab?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Do you really think that I'm that much dumb who didn't understand your plan?" Randhir said when some frowned lines appeared on her face.

"Main tab galti se lingerie section mein aah geya tha ussi ka badla le rahi ho na?" Randhir asked looking at her when Sanyukta's eyes got widened.

"God isse kaise pata chal geya, Sanyu aab toh tu geyi, yeh aab tujhe nehi chhodega!" She gulped hard.

"Main vi sochu jis ladki ko mere presence se problem hoti thi wo aachanak mere help ke liye kaise maan geyi! Toh yeh tha tumhare master plan mujhe sabak sikhane ka but I must say it's a bad idea, even worse. Tum toh 2 minute mein hi pakdi geyi Sanyukta." Randhir said mockingly.

"Jhoota kahika, 2 ghante lage usse pakadne mein!" She said in mind then decided to apologise.

"Okay fine, Sorry." She said not looking at him.

"Sorry isn't work now." Randhir said crossing his hands thus she looked at him.

"Tumhari wajase mujhe bahar sabke samne bahut awkward feel hona pada toh phir compensation vi toh bada hona chahiye!" He said sternly.

"Okay what do you want?" Sanyukta asked crossing her hands also.

"KISS." Randhir said when Sanyukta looked at him shockingly.

"I want a kiss." And he winked at her.

"What! Are you out of your mind Randhir?" Sanyukta asked shockingly.

"No, am absolutely fit and fine wifey." Randhir smirked naughtily.

"No, am not going to give you that." She said looking at him straight.

"You have to think about it before making fun on me Sanyukta, now I want my compensate and you have to give it to me." Randhir gave a mischievous smile to Sanyukta and take steps to her when she steps back.

Sanyukta stopped as her back touched the wall when Randhir came closer to her. She gulped hard for their proximity and about to go when Randhir blocked her way placing his hands on the wall.

"Where are you going wifey?" Randhir raised his brows.

"Randhir chhodo koi aah jayega." Sanyukta nearly stammered.

"No way wifey, I already locked the door." Randhir winked at her and moved closer to her when she breathing heavily.

"Ra-Randhir..." She was stammering when Randhir came inches closer and she closed her eyes next. Randhir smirked looking his effects on her and move towards her ear.

"What happened Sanyukta why are you sweating?" Randhir hushed near her ear thus Sanyukta open her eyes with a jolt. She was looking at Randhir confusingly when he just enjoying her expressions.

"Wo keya hain na aabhi mood nehi hain, main aapna compensate baad mein le lunga wifey." He winked at her thus she caught his game.

"Huhhhhh....hato samne se." She pushed him and came out from the trail room.

Sanyukta felt so embarrassed for loosing control and felt awkward to face him. She unknowingly came to the men's section followed by Randhir.

"Keya kar rahi ho?" He asked when she not able to meet her gaze with him.

"Wo aapne liye night suit choose kar rahi hu." She replied looking everywhere but at him.

"Is that so, I never knew ke tum raat ko shirt pahen kar soti ho!" He said teasingly when Sanyukta looked at the clothes properly and find a white shirt on his hand. She looked at him once then lowered her lashes in embarrassment.

"It's okay wifey, saaf saaf bolo na ke mere liye vi shopping karna chahati ho, so that we spend more time together." He said teasingly when she kept mum.

"But one thing I like dark colors not this dull one." He said eyeing the white shirt.

"But tum white mein bahut handsome lagate ho." Sanyukta said suddenly and then bit her tongue next when Randhir looked at her in amazement.

"What are you just say?" He asked when she nodded a no. Randhir slowly came closer to her and moved towards her ear.

"So finally Mrs. Shekhawat find her husband handsome." He said in a husky tone thus Sanyukta shivered.

"Wo-wo maine aaisa kuch nehi bola." She stammered badly.

"Ohh come on wifey confess that finally you find your husband hot and handsome." Randhir gave a mischievous smile.

"Huhhhhh....handsome my foot, wo maine bola tha ke white mein....umm....white mein....haan white mein tum Homo Sapience dikhte ho. Insaan dikhte ho insaan, samjhe!" She said annoyingly when Randhir just smiled at her.

"Achchha that means you want to tell me that am not handsome enough?" He raised his brows.

"Langoor ho langoor, samjhe!" Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"Aare ladkiya marti hain mujh par Sanyukta, you wanna try?" He grinned naughtily and went to a sales girl.

"Excuse me beautiful can you please help me to choose a shirt?" He said in a honey coated voice to the sales girl thus she melt.

"Of course sir, come this way." The sales girl take him into a side and started selecting some shirts for him.

"Sir I think this blue shirt goes with your personality." The sales girl said with a smile.

"Nice but how about this red one?" Randhir asked showing her a red shirt.

"Sir you look so hot on this red shirt." The sales girl said and bit her tongue next for saying this.

"Ohh thank you and what about this black one beautiful?" Randhir asked her looking at Sanyukta once who was fuming in anger now.

"Sir you are looking killer on this black one." The sales girl said huskily when Sanyukta just burnt.

"Chiii, isse toh bilkul vi sharam nehi, meri hi samne uss ladki se flirt kar raha hain, besharam kahika." She was frustrated by his behaviour.

"But mujhe keya, usse jo karna hain kare, mujhe keya, I don't care!" She shrugged her shoulder and looked away to ignore him when two girls entered at the shop.

"Wow so hot yaar." One girl said looking at Randhir whose shirt's first two buttons were opened.

"Haan yaar seriously kitna hot and handsome hain, chal na baat karte hain." Another girl said and they went towards at Randhir. Sanyukta who listen their conversation wish to burnt those girls under her burning gaze. The two girls came to Randhir and approached him.

"Hello handsome." One girl said.

"Hey gorgeous." Randhir smiled at them not before stealing a glance of Sanyukta.

"What's your name?" Another girl asked.

"A very famous author said that what's in a name?" And Randhir started flirting with them when Sanyukta interrupted.

"Actually me and my husband came here for shopping and my husband is helping me in that. So girls please excuses us." Saying this she dragged Randhir from there.

"Lagta hain kuch jwal raha hain!" Randhir said innocently when Sanyukta just gave him a murderous glare and went another side. Randhir sensed the storm and followed her. Sanyukta asked a seals girl for night suits when Randhir came there.

"Hmm this one is good, try this." Randhir said looking a short sleeveless nighty which came up to her knees.

"Randhir maybe you are forgotten ke tum nighty aapni biwi ke liye silect kar rahe ho naki aapne girlfriend ke liye!" She said coldly.

"Come on Sanyukta tum haar baat ko itna seriously kyu le leti ho? Look tumhine mujhe provoke kiya tha tab wo sab karne ke liye!" He made an innocent face.

"Achchha toh maine tumhe provoke kiya tha unn stupid girls ke saath flirt karne ke liye?" She shooting daggers at him thus he gulped hard.

"Sorry." He slowly mumbled.

"Huhhhhh, bass yehi aata hain, pehele galti karna aur phir sorry bolna." She blabbered continuously when he kept mum.

"Kamal hain thodi der pehele toh bhigi billi jaisi beheave kar rahi thi aur aab ekdom se tigress ban geyi! Karan jiju was right, biwi se aajtak koi nehi jeet saka, galti chahe kisi ka vi ho but sorry humesha hum pati o ko hi bolna padta hain!" He sighed hard. After shopping Randhir was paying the bills when Sanyukta stood on a side.

"Okay let's go." He said but Sanyukta's gaze was stuck in somewhere. Randhir followed her gaze and saw a cute baby frock was hanging there.

"It's so beautiful, hain na?" He whispered near her ear thus she nodded positively.

"Yeh dress humari beti par bahut peyari lagegi." Randhir said eyeing the frock once more when Sanyukta looked at him.

"Chalo le lete hain." Randhir said excitedly when Sanyukta nodded a no.

"No Randhir maa had told me not to buy gifts for the baby to be born, it's inauspicious. And how do you know ke it's a girl or boy?" She raised her brows.

"Hmm, achchha Sanyukta tumhe keya chahiye boy or girl?" Randhir asked thus she looked away.

"Don't know, I never think about it." She said slowly looking at that frock only.

"But mujhe toh ladki hi chahiye." Randhir said thus Sanyukta looked at him.

"Bilkul tumhare jaisi, hazel eyes, sharp nose, pink lips I wish she must be just like you." Randhir said dreamily.

"But uski complexion tumhari jaisi honi chahiye, gori gori ekdom rasgulle ki tarha." Sanyukta said slowly when Randhir became shocked.

"Keya baat hain wifey tarif par tarif, tarif par tarif! Koi khash baat hain keya jiske liye aaj meri itni tarif kiye jaa rahi ho? First you find me hot and handsome, and now you given complement me about my complexion, wow that's something unexpected." Randhir said when Sanyukta felt awkward.

"Nehi aaisa kuch nehi, utne vi gore nehi ho. Rajveer bhaiya aur Ragini di tumse jyada gore hain." She said hesitatingly.

"Is that so! Toh phir Sanyukta chalo unn ladkio se puch lete hain!" Randhir grinned naughtily when Sanyukta gritted her teeth.

"Unn ladkio se keya puchna hain Randhir, idhar aau na main tumhe batati hu!" Sanyukta hit him by her purse when Randhir escaped from there followed by Sanyukta.

"Randhir ruko, bhag kaha rahe ho?" Sanyukta said annoyingly when Randhir laughed. He was trying to escape when he bumped with a lady and the bags from her hand fall down.

"Sorry sorry, maine aapko dekha nehi tha." Randhir said when bent down to take the bags. He took them and forwarded to the lady.

"Aapka bags." Randhir said to the lady who's eyes were stuck somewhere. Randhir followed her gaze and saw Sanyukta there.

"Ohh shit kahi Sanyukta yeh na soche ke I'm trying to hitting on this girl." He thought and went towards Sanyukta.

"Sanyukta we just bumped to each other." Randhir said but Sanyukta don't even look at him as her gaze fixed on that girl only. Randhir looked at them confusingly as they behaving weird.

"Do you know each other?" Randhir can't help but asked Sanyukta who was looking at the girl with an awe. But before Sanyukta give any answer the girl take her name.

"Sanyukta!"

"Kanika!"

Sanyukta whispered nearly and they both hugged each other when Randhir was a silent spectator of there.

"Yeh bharat milap kiske saath ho raha hain?" Randhir murmured under his breath.

"Kaisi hain Sanyu?" Kanika asked when Sanyukta was sobbing.

"I'm sorry please maaf kar de mujhe." Kanika said again when Sanyukta broke the hug.

"Sanyu!" Kanika looked at her hopefully.

"It's okay Kanuu, I can understand jo kuch vi huya uss mein teri koi galti nehi thi." Sanyukta said wiping her tears when Kanika also wiped own tears. Just then Sanyukta's eyes fall on Randhir who looked at them curiously, she composed herself and looked at him.

"Randhir she is Kanika my childhood friend and Kanika he is Randhir my husband." Sanyukta introduced them when they gretted each other. They were talking when a middle aged woman came there.

"Tu yeha hain Kannu, main kabse tujhe dhund rahi hu!" The lady said to Kanika when her eyes fall on Sanyukta and her face became stiffen.

"Maa maa yeh dekho Sanyu, aachanak se yeha par mill geyi, aapne pati ke saath shopping karne aayi hain." Kanika said excitedly when her mother was not.

"Hello aunty, aap kaisi ho?" Sanyukta smiled at her.

"Main thik hu, tu kaisi hain?" She asked in an unpleasant way.

"Ji achchhi hu, aunty yeh Randhir mera pati." Sanyukta said thus Randhir greeted her.

"Yeh tera pati hain lekin news paper mein sakal toh kuch aur hi laag raha tha." She said thus Sanyukta's face became pale.

"Maa keya bol rahi ho aap?" Kanika whispered near her mom's ear.

"Umm mera matlab tha ke tum aamne samne aur jyada achchhe dikhte ho beta!" She covered up when Randhir smiled.

"Thank you aunty, achchha hum thode jaldi mein hain toh chalte hain, bye Kanika. Sanyukta chale?" Randhir asked looking at Sanyukta as he wanted to avoid the awkward situation when she nodded positively.

"Bye Kannu, bye aunty." She smiled a little.

"Bye Sanyu." Kanika also smile and Sanyukta came out from the mall with Randhir.
