She couldn't sleep whole night, ever since he came back. She forgot herself the whole night, despite herself her eyes kept wandering least every two hours around his room making sure he was alright.

Numerous times when she decided to part their ways, or he moved away still their fate made them closer to each other.

She would give this news to Mr Oberoi who had lost all hopes of him returning back.

Immensely diving in her happiness, she forgot about the world...forgot to eat and sleep.

She quickly made a call

"Sheetal, he's back..." overjoyed she hopped on the couch

"Aarti, are you serious? How?"

"I will ask him tomorrow. He's sleeping now"

Aarti asked them to come over. Veer will be happy to see all his old friends. She wanted to sing and dance. Her life was back. Tears gathered around her eyes, the only difference was this time it was out of happiness.

--------------------------------------

Mr Oberoi saw Aarti sleeping on the couch in the lounge room "Aarti, we have important meeting today"

Aarti lazily opened her eyes. The moment she saw Mr Oberoi, she almost jumped with joy "I have to tell you something important...no" she pressed her head with her fingers "I have to show you, come"

She opened the door of Veer's room

"Check yourself Mr Oberoi" Aarti gave a broad smile "I will arrange for a party"

Aarti quickly walked towards the kitchen

The moment Mr Oberoi's eyes fell on Veer, he couldn't believe "Veer"

Mr Oberoi had tears in his eyes... he saw his Son after months. He went closer and caressed his hair...

Veer slightly opened his eyes "Dad..."

"Veer, my Son" he hugged him "I am so proud of you"

Veer rubbed his eyes... Mr Oberoi looked at Veer's face and cried

"Come on Dad... stop crying."

"You don't know, after I heard about the news I died so many times and Aarti"

Mr Oberoi wiped his tears "she's a brave girl. Everyone believed you won't come back. It was only Aarti who had faith that you will come back"

"When did she come here Dad?"

"I was in the hospital, when she came" Mr Oberoi looked at Veer "she's cared so much Veer... if I am alive today. It's because of her."

Veer was silent

"Ok, now. You get ready and come for breakfast"

"Yes Dad"

------------------------------------

Mr Oberoi saw Aarti talking on the phone

"OK Doctor, thanks"

"Aarti, who are you calling"

"Veer needs treatment. I called the doctor. They will be here soon"

Mr Oberoi touched her head "God bless you"

"Come, sit." Aarti offered tea and snacks to Mr Oberoi.

"Where are the servants today, can't see anyone around"

"They all have holiday today" Aarti gave a broad smile

"I must call your parents as well, they are worried for you Aarti." Mr Oberoi watched her blushing...

"I already called them yesterday. They all are coming today, Veer will be happy to see all his old friends."

Mr Oberoi continuously watched Aarti, she was almost flying in the sky. He saw her arranging breakfast for Veer....

"I am so lucky Aarti"

"So am I" she replied happily and hold the tray in her hand

-----------------------------------------------

The door was open; she couldn't see him anywhere. He must be in the shower.

She kept the tray carefully on the bed. She turned around at the click of the knob...he was wiping his face with the towel "Aarti"

"Hi"

He kept the towel back in the trail....

"How are you now?" she asked softly

"All perfect"

She shook her head "you haven't changed"

"I know, I can say this for you as well" he picked up the cup of tea

"Where's your breakfast Aarti?"

"I will have later" she replied smilingly

"No, you are having now, with me" he kept the cup back on the tray

She frowned a little, but she was happy at his concern "OK"

Mr Oberoi saw them talking "Aarti, I will go myself today. Meeting is important. You stay with Veer"

"Are you sure Mr Oberoi? I can go if you want" she got up from the bed

"No, no Aarti. I am sure you can take care of Veer"

They smiled.... Soon Mr Oberoi left

"So, why did you come here Aarti?" he took a sip

"As if you don't know"

"I thought you were still angry"

"Well, to be honest I was. But now I am not" she offered him some cookies

"I should have told you Aarti, but didn't wanted your life in any danger" he softly added

"Now tell me the whole thing. From the beginning."

He smiled at her

"Oh, you can smile...and without a frown" she laughed

"Aarti, stop laughing"

"No, I won't"

He nodded his head "come here"

She was still giggling "why?"

"I want to tell something in your ear" he whispered

"Secret?" she whispered

"Yes, big secret"

She pushed the tray aside and sat closer to him. The moment she put her ear closer to his mouth, he squeezed her tightly in his arms.

She closed her eyes "Veer, what are you doing." She whispered

"Feeling you" he nuzzled her hair... his warm breath tickled her ear, she turned to look at him...

Her hands cupped his face "let me look at you" she whispered with moist eyes

He touched her hands...slowly his fingers trailed towards her soft arms, she felt his warm fingers around her neck then slowly digging in her hair.

Her hands slowly encircled around his neck.

"Don't leave me now" he whispered while pulling her hair making her look up into his eyes

, both gazed at each other when they heard a bell.

"Must be the doctor" she tried to pull away from his grasp

"Doctor? For what?"

"For your treatment. Now leave my hair" she pleaded

"Why? These injuries don't need a doctor" he retorted

"Veer" she finally managed to pull away "yes, look at yourself"

Veer shook his head "you still don't know me, do you?"

"And you don't know me, do you" she smiled

-----------------------------------------------------

"Veer take care of yourself, and you are lucky to have such a caring wife"

Veer's jaw dropped at what the doctor was saying

"Aarti, give him these medicines. I have written the prescriptions"

"And what about Veer's foot?" Aarti pointed to the doctor

"Yes I have written an x-ray for that."

"Alright Veer, get well soon, I will call Aarti to get you in my clinic next week for the check-up"

"Thanks Doctor"

"OK, take care"

-------------------------------

Aarti came back to Veer with a glass of water "ok, take this tablet now"

"So you're my wife?" Veer picked up the tablet

She didn't say anything, shyly glanced around

"Don't you think?"

Veer looked at her from top to bottom "well, no"

She frowned angrily "why?"

He smiled at her angry face "do you even know what husband and wife do?"

"What do you mean?" innocently she looked at him

"So you don't even know this. Think I have to teach you" Veer relaxed his back against the bed...he was enjoying the expressions on her face. On the other side Aarti went completely muddled.
