Hi friends, I am back with an update. I am not sure whether this is up to the mark. But, I hope you enjoy it reading. This is about the events that led to part 1. Thank you all for your valuable comments on my previous update. They mean so much to me.

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

What a hectic day! He is unable to sleep at all – not only because of mosquitoes but also because of the bad events that happened today. The day started so well that he was smiling like a fool and it ended making him a real fool. He was very tired and just need a good night's sleep. He is ready to fight with his beloved wife, his family, or even the whole world tomorrow. Tonight he wants to sleep peacefully like a baby, but his Sai Devima didn't even leave a chance for that. She declared that she is not going to sleep with him anymore on the same bed. He could not help but roll his eyes thinking about that. As if she is sleeping with him so far? For god's sake, she builds a damn fort in the middle of them every night since day one. Well, it's his fault only. He should have not taken her hands off him in the first place. Now, when he is eager to her touch, he has a wicked fort to cross. He hates that fort so much that some nights he dreams of destroying it. It takes too much space in their bed for his liking. But today, the bed is fort-free.

He woke up with a jolt. Oh goodness, today he can have the whole bed to himself like the good old days. Tomorrow, he will make sure that Sai gets back to their bed by crook or hook. Now, he doesn't need to sleep here miserably when he can happily rollover on an unoccupied bed. He grinned like an idiot. Since Sai came, he was trying to maintain his ACP posture and even slept in all alert mode. She should stop calling him 'sir'. Not so important now. But, the real question here is how is he going to reach his bed without facing Sai? Who told him to strut out of the room with so much swag and attitude?

He prayed to God that Sai should be already sleeping or at least fall asleep before he reaches their room. He was about to stand up from the sofa when Pakhi showed up, shocking him. Well, this can't be good.

"What are you doing wandering the house at night, Pakhi?" he asked annoyed.

"I could not sleep at all and hence came out for some fresh air." She explained.

Wow! She could not sleep? Seriously? Because of her, his wife is sleeping on the floor and he is struggling on this couch, but she could not sleep in her bloody king-size bed? Atrocious!

"Well, enjoy yourself!" he started walking towards his room.

"Where are you going, Virat?" she asked in a panicked voice. He stopped and looked at her.

"To pilgrimage" he stated and she looked confused.

"Huh?"

"To my room, Pakhi. Where else would I go?" he said irritatingly.

"I thought you are going to sleep here since it seems you brought a pillow and blanket with you" she indicated towards his hands carrying them.

"Yes, I came here to sleep, but changed my mind after seeing you." he said lazily.

"What do you mean by that?" her eyes are wide as saucers now.

"I don't think it would be appropriate if anyone happens to see us together. We don't want to be blamed simply because we were in the wrong place at the wrong time now. Do we?" he explained calmly.

She seemed to be hurt by his words. Not his concern at all.

"And also, this couch is uncomfortable. I need my bed to sleep in. If your questionnaire is over, I am off to bed now." He turned and walked just two steps before she called him again.

"Wait a minute, Virat!"

What now? He stopped but didn't turn around.

"Please drink this before you go." she said in a low voice and he got confused. He turned around and looked at her stretched-out hand. Sure enough, she is carrying a glass of turmeric milk. He wondered how he didn't notice at all. He needs some rest badly to make this ACP brain work.

When he raised an eyebrow at her, she started speaking.

"We fought and I don't think you ate anything for dinner. You are already sick and I am sure Sai didn't care enough to give you anything. She even kicked you out of your room. But I am not like Sai. I do care for you and I pray for your speedy recovery every day. Please drink this milk." She explained and he tried his best to restrain himself from banging his head against the wall. Well, he deserved it. For whatever happened today, he could not blame anyone but himself. He should really stop giving out promises like distributing ladoo during Ganesh Chaturthi.

"For the last time Pakhi, I don't need your concern. Please save your concern and prayers for Samrat. And also, don't ever compare my wife to you."

She winced at his words and her eyes started tearing up.

"How could I care about him suddenly, Virat? We hardly spent a day together. He is a stranger to me." she said in an annoyed voice.

He closed his fists in anger but decided to deal with this as much as calm he can muster.

"But, technically he is your husband. If you can love a stranger with whom you spent less than two days, surely you can start caring for your husband." He gritted his teeth.

When she shook her head and opened her mouth to say something, he stopped her.

"If you still insist Samrat is just a stranger to you, then you don't have anything to do with this family or me either." He declared and she gasped.

"But, we are best friends Virat." she said quickly.

"Not anymore. I am a tolerant man, but the one thing I will not stand for is stupidity. You are just my brother's wife now" he turned around and started walking.

"You cannot do this!" she shouted.

"Actually, I can!" he said without turning. Enough of this nonsense – he should now just move forward.

"What about your promise, then?"

"I would be rather called a lier than a fool" he started walking when she called out again.

"This doesn't end here.

I will make you pay for this betrayal, Virat"

"I dare you!" he stormed without a glance. He heard a shattering sound but didn't bother to turn around. He very well knows that Pakhi must have broken the glass of turmeric milk. She would have to clean that mess now before anyone sees that in the morning. Well, good then. Let her do some work for a change. She is just wandering in the house causing fights. He smirked in satisfaction.

Entering his room, he walked straight up to his bed and dropped down. He turned and rolled from one corner to another for nearly thirty minutes before giving up. He got up and looked at his bed. It's the same bed, but why could not he sleep? He held his head in both his hands. Oh god! Why this damn day is not ending already? Is it too much to ask for a good sleep and better tomorrow?

"Aargh..." he screamed in anger and heard a moan as a reply. He quickly turned around at the sound and found Sai sleeping on her mattress. He was so angry with Pakhi that he didn't notice Sai. He must have disturbed her beauty sleep a little since her face is scrunched up. She looks very cute and he could not help but smile. His heart tightened. He is really a fool. He is searching for peace when it is just camping beside his bed. He slowly got down from the bed and lay on her mattress. Unlike their bed, this is very small and hence, they were lying too close for Sai's liking. She is surely going to kill him tomorrow for his action, but he decided to endure it for one night's rest.

He is drowsy now and wants to see his wife's beautiful face before he dozes off. Hence, he turned to her side but knocked her arm in action. She stirred a little and murmured.

"Please Virat sir... don't disturb me. I have to get up early in the morning"

He gasped. Did she wake up? No way! Would he be still alive if she is already awake? Not at all!

Her face showed that she is not fully back to her slumber. Hence to save himself from early death, he slowly started stroking her hair. Wow! It is so soft. How nice it would be to run his fingers through it and clutching it hard? Focus, ACP!

"Hmmm" she moaned and he is doomed. He looked at her lips. They are parted and inviting. He closed his eyes and almost kissed her when he heard her moan again. Her breath grazed his mouth and he gulped. He opened his eyes and looked at her innocent face. He should not do this to her and hence, removed his hand from her head. Her face pouted immediately. He stared at her in confusion. Did she miss his touch? No, it cannot be. But, his ACP brain probed him to investigate. He slowly stroked her hair again and her lips went up instantly to a small smile.

She moaned again and he prayed to all the gods to keep his sanity.

"Hmmm... I always love your magic fingers, Virat sir" she whispered in a very low voice that she sure would have missed if not he lying very close to her. He felt very happy that she loves his touch but grimaced a little knowing that she is not leaving the 'sir' tag even in her dreams. Dreams? Is she dreaming about him? Wow!

He suddenly doesn't want to fight with Sai in the morning. He should find some good reason to defend himself. But, what could he possibly say that can save him from her wrath? He could not simply say that he sleepwalked into her bed. Could he?

His eyes widen in surprise. Yes, that's it. He took out his mobile from his pocket and started searching on google. Thank god, all his stress had kept him from changing into his pajamas. He searched about sleep-walking and found its medical term as 'Somnambulism'. What a weird name for a weird condition! It was a little tough to memorize it, after all, he is not the state topper. Sai would have memorized it in two seconds or she already knows about this. OMG! He looked at her face and there is a high chance that she already knows about this. What if she takes this seriously and started pushing him to treatment or medications? He is already taking enough tablets for a lifetime. He shuddered at the thought of more medications. He knows very well that Sai cares for his health and he doesn't want to take any risk lying about it. He decided to drop the idea.

But, he could not let all his hard work to go waste. It took almost two whole minutes to memorize the bloody term. He got distracted when she hugged him in her sleep. He felt butterflies in his stomach. This hug is not tight like the hug before but still made him blush. How he wished she hugs him when she is awake! Oh my goodness! Sai is hugging him while sleeping. This is like Sleepwalking only, just more intimate. He wants to jump in joy but controlled it sensing the position he is in. He grinned like an idiot and murmured.

"Dr. Sai Joshi Chavan, sorry to say this. But tonight you are going to suffer from 'Somnambulism'." He smirked and slowly gathered into his arms. He put her in his bed. She started stirring but calmed down once he joined her. She is so needy. He could not help but chuckle at her satisfied face once they hugged tight. But suddenly he got hiccups. He doesn't want to wake up and untangled himself from her. He took the water jug and started drinking water as much as he can. Who the hell is thinking about him at the midnight? Is any goon planning to kill him? Or DIG sir thinking of giving him a promotion, but it's too soon or... His thoughts are interrupted when he heard his name. He turned and saw a sight which he could never forget in his life. He could almost hear his heart beating heavily. She is bending and twisting in their bed calling out his name in moans and her hands are searching for him.

For a brief second, he thought of recording this to keep for eternity but smacked himself for this inappropriate thought invading one's privacy. He doesn't want her to suffer anymore and hence ran to her. Her chest is rising up and down. He wondered whether her heart too is racing like his own. He bent down and kept his left ear near to her heart. He was trying to listen to her heart when he got crushed onto her. Sai is hugging him tightly and to stabilize himself he hugged her too. Wow! He loves it when Sai is taking advantage of him. If she is wild in sleep, he doesn't even want to think about how she will be during consciousness because the thought alone would turn him on fully and it won't be good in this position. He blushed at the thought. Focus, ACP!

So, this tells that Sai too has feelings for him and he doesn't have to fear any rejection when he proposes to her. Or would it be more fun to make her propose by teasing her to the core? He smiled widely. He knows Sai very well. She could not lie for a long time. If he pushes the right buttons, she would scream at his face about her eternal love. Wow, tomorrow is going to be awesome. He decided to enjoy the moment and adjusted himself comfortably over her to embrace his long awaited beauty sleep. He wished Sai too was awake and enjoyed as much as he does instead of dreaming all this in sleep. What a hectic day! – For her!
