For few days

The Nair and Menon householders were in a tensed mode for a while after the office shootout which led to strengthening the security around them more.

Pradeep and Sharanya had kept the birthday party for Previn and Uvika's daughter Priyanka.

The family were glad to have this party to soothe their mental health with some laugh and glee.

Nair Mansion

Reena kept the call with Vinod from the office to have his take on the invitation for the party from their investors in Goa.

The seminar was kept at the time of the birthday bash which would be a slight problem. The grandkids were the apple of their eye, making it endearing of them to get their mind refreshed with just the munchkins smile and laughter.

Delhi

Sangeet Natak Akademi

Mrunal was sitting in the car holding Akash's hand smiling at his sadness of leaving her.

"...I will visit you next month...to...um...you know...um...*chuckles*..." Akash tried to convey his heart's desire to ask her hand in marriage from her family.

Mrunal laughed at his nervousness but knew his sincerity towards their blooming relationship which only strength with the passing time.

At the airport

Mrunal felt gloomy at leaving him but she neededto make her parents realise the importance of Akash in her life.

"...do call me when you reach home..." Akash caressed her wrist making her tear up with his soft sighs.

He closed in and pecked her forehead a little longer and bobbed her nose with his lips murmuring "...don't forget me...honey"

Mrunal nodded her head replying "...I would never..." and felt his hand leave hers as she moved back to board her flight back home.

In the evening

The Nair household was bustling with the maids and servants running around to do the final touches in the house to welcome their special guest of the day.

Sonia was gleaming with her wide smile as she knew that finally her dream would come true with her presence...again in their life.

Vinay called up Arjun to check for the flight time, to which Arjun chuckled saying that they were waiting in the airport arrival area to receive her.

At the Mumbai airport

As the announcer called out the landing of the Delhi flight, the family members looked out for their sunshine to come and embrace them after a period of three years.

She would call them or video chat with them almost every day but the physical presence was missed by everyone of her admirers.

"...where is she?!!..." an impatient Deepika glanced back at Dhiraj who consoled her that the passengers were coming out and to have some patience.

Dhiraj had taken another two days extension from the military to greet his sister after such a long time.

"..."

The parents felt their tears flow continuously as they saw their daughter search for them with her glittery kohled eyes and finally saw them.

She ran to them and hugged tightly crying her eyes out. Arjun caressed her hairs who was not stopping her tears even after the moment.

"...Anna!!..." Dhiraj hugged her soft self, pecking her hairs and called out 'Buji' while getting emotional.

Their car was filled with Mrunal telling her time in the akademi with her new friends and the professors. The way they praised her for her efforts in gracing the dance and how she was able to perform in various art workshops and even events hosted by the akademi.

Deepika observed a certain change in her daughter, feeling that 'Buji' had suddenly turned into Mrunal. Her mature self, screamed the grace and serenity that she always wanted from her.

She had seen her video clips being sent to her time to time, whenever Mrunal used to practice or perform.

"...Anna?...why are we going to the Nair house?..." Mrunal noticed the huge gate of the mansion which she had not forgotten even after not in contact with either of them, except Vinay.

Vinay once gave her a surprise visit during his industrial expo in JW Marriott hosted by FICCI for the various industrialist from all over the globe.

She was overwhelmed to have him in her campus. Vinay was her mentor and guide during her time in the akademi, telling her about the dos and don'ts to follow during her tenor in the university.

Nair Mansion

Mrunal saw the mansion being lit in its grandeur like a new bride, confusing her.

But at the call of her brother, she stepped out of the car. Arjun and Deepika moved towards the house smiling widely.

As her brother moved past her, telling her walk faster Mrunal smiled back even at his tease making him confused.

Woof! Woof!

Bruno was jumping under the servants clutches after seeing her. Mrunal was his favourite after Rajeev, as both pampered and played with the pet a lot.

"...Bruno!...how are you?!!..." Mrunal knelt down in front of the dog trying to avoid his slurpy kisses, giggling away. 

She sensed him looking at her even when he was 10 steps away from her.

As he smiled closing the car door and moved towards her with his black diabolic aura.

Her eyes fired up seeing his smile widen with his admiring eyes for her. As her kohled eyes watched him stride to her with his long walk, she could remember his deeds which broke the girl. 

How could he manage to look her in the eyes after...?

The devil. That's what he had become. A Devil in black suit, donning that forsaken black glasses. She would surely beat him up after seeing his disloyalty to a poor soul, who vanished from the country because of her heartbreak.

She had two thoughts to give him a piece of her mind at the disgusting betrayal he did to her – Ramya.

In all this, Rajeev was not able to take in her new avatar donned in that beautiful saree with her simplest makeup.

Wait, she didn't put any makeup. It was just kohl in her beautiful almond eyes.

Her thin lips had the pink lip-gloss accentuating her beauty more.

Saree!!

His mind danced with the way she stood with her glaring eyes for him. He very well knew the reason behind her anger.

Also knowing the exact way to pacify her, with only his eyes and voice which she was a fan of. Her diary had quite educated him about her mad and puppy love for him, only to reciprocate it to her a 1000 times more.

How he loved the way the 7-yard clothing managed to enhance her bodice so wonderfully.

He didn't care if she would object at his sudden kiss onto her luscious inviting lips, which she was a fan of; as written in her chronicles.

Buji's chronicles

'03/28/2X – his kisses!

'...why?...why am I like this?....'

'...his eyes!...his ever-honest eyes!!...uff!!...no!!...'

'...no! I should not!...he is betrothed...to be married!...no!...'

'...but?!...does he love her?...'

'...of course, he does!...they go on dates!...every time she visits...'

'...like on 15th Jan, when he narrated his date to Rani Akka during our visit for the dinner party...where he took Ramya to that famous Italian restaurant...'

'...do they?!!...do the deed after their date?...of course they do!...I mean...its Ramya...she is so...'

'...No!...he wouldn't!...Ugh!...I should not think all this!!...'

'...would he kiss her on the lips...with his supple cupid bow?!...'

'...or land beautiful kisses on her neck...with his soft breaths...'

'...hm...maybe interrupted kisses...like soft pecks...that would be so soothing...wouldn't it be?....'

'...or when he would caress her with his strong and caring hands to calm her when he would give his open wet kisses!!...'

'...hm!!...that would be so like him!!...calm, soft, caring, and sensual!...a complete man...a perfect man...my mon cœur*...'

(*mon cœur – My heart in French)

The thought itself made his core tingle with a new pleasure which he wanted to feel for a long time...only for her. He swear to not let her go out of his strong hold...never again. She is his Buji. His love. His only true love.

"...hey Buji!...how are you?..." he enquired her who pursed her lips to not spurt out evil words to him in her anger streak, clutching her saree ends seeing his boyish smile which she had fell for the first time.

Not anymore.

She tried to move past him but he caught hold of her wrist, pulling her towards his buff chest.

Her eyes widened at his dare, who had definitely built his muscles from the last time; with his strong hold.

"...I asked you something...." His husky low baritone voice made her close her eyes. She gathered herself and tried to move out of his iron grip.

Her breaths fastened at his soft whiff of mint scent invading her nostrils again.

No!!

"...leave me!!..." she looked down commanding him while bringing her hand back but he didn't have any intention to leave her.

"...answer me, Buji..." he deliberately breathed towards her eyes to entice her. Little did he knew that it was having a contrast effect on her.

"...Mrunal!!!...*gritting her teeth* not Buji...not to you...Rajeev!!!..." She tried to look in his droopy brown eyes which turned hazel upon getting hit by the sun rays on them; penetrating her soul. She was trying so hard to control her stance of being strict with him.

But was failing miserable at his manly aura who raised his brows amusingly at her; correcting him on her name call.

He smirked as her hand got twisted behind her back, pulling her more closer. She loved it. He saw the way her eyes wanted his closeness even after so long of missing him. He was now assured that her little anger act was a shield.

'But why?

Was it the boy, Akash?

*tsk* no way!...she will not be able to forget her Rajeev...her only true love!!'

Mrunal did love the way he tried to claim her with his strong arms. His hold was powerful but caring...as always.

*Gasp*

"...*soft chuckle*...you will always be my 'Buji'...and ...um...*deep sigh*...love the way you call out my name...so....um...*groan*...erotic!..." he was softly whispering to her enunciating the last word, while trying to bob her face with his soft breathes mesmerising her.

"..." Mrunal felt her forehead dance with its own rhythm at his sweet breath, pleading him to leave her.

What happened to him?!!

Where is the good boy Rajeev?!!

Who is this man?!! were the thoughts coming in and out of her head seeing his changed persona which screamed dominance and callous, which she was beginning to love.

How can she? She should not? her conscious tried to divert her from her true love – Akash.

He loved her little struggle to not let her heart to take over her confused head.

He knew his new look and charm was playing a new tune in her eyes which only spelled the screaming return of her lost love for him.

'...please don't kiss me!...I won't be able to fight you!...please Raj!!...' were the thoughts in her disciplined self, which she had maintained for so long in his absence. She didn't want him to break her not anymore.

As he was about to take her lips to end her trauma and confusion once and for all...

"...Raj?!...Uncle is calling..." Soumya came towards them noticing only Rajeev's back which covered his mischief with his 'Buji'.

He tsked releasing her making the confused crease form back in her brows. He raised his left brow seeing the way she was still gritting her teeth at him, trying to hide her strong love for him.

Mrunal caressed her wrist which didn't pain much as he only held them lightly. But still she was angry with his audacity to grab her like that.

She walked briskly towards the family and wanted to cool her splitting headache caused by the exhaustive sensuous man of a jerk.

She needs to let him know about Akash and her.... asap.
