A/N I won't be updating again until end of November :) This update is on the request of Priyarocksszz. Otherwise, I was busy writing Tcher earlier and as a result, this chapter will have slight imprint of Tcher and will be bit mature.

Chandhini woke up in the evening feeling refreshed. Advay wasn't in the room. He mustn't have slept. She grabbed fresh clothes and went to take shower. Then, she blow dried her hairs and went downstairs. 

Only ayi and baba were sitting on sofas watching a current affair program. she greeted them and then, sat beside baba.

Arnav looked away from screen at her bright face and smiled,'how was your nap?'

Chandhini smiled,' Really good baba but I missed the evening puja. Where is Ataya ji, I hope she didn't mind.'

Khushi paused the program and turned toward her,' Ataya ji has gone for a pilgrimage to Mathura. she'll spend some time there.'

Chandhini nodded.

Khushi,' Advay told me in the morning that Ataya ji asked you to help in preparation for havan. Next time, if it happens tell her to ask me. Your health is still not well. you need proper rest.'

Chandhini was surprised. Baba didn't say anything, so Chandhini guessed that he already knew about it. she bit her lower lip nervously. she hoped that it hadn't caused a fight between ayi and ataya ji. what if in future, she was blamed for causing problems in family? after all, she was baba's only sister.

Arnav frowned at the sudden anxiety visible on Chandhini's face,' what happened beta?'

Chandhini,' nothing, baba.'

Khushi sighed. she had an inkling what Chandhini might be thinking.

Arnav,' then, why do you look anxious? when you came downstairs, you were happy. You can tell me.'

when chandhini didn't speak, khushi said,' Chand?'

Chandhini didn't know if she should speak or not but both ayi and baba were waiting for her response. So, she said to ayi,' Did you say anything to ataya ji? was she angry and left?'

Arnav couldn't understand that why Chandhini was worrying about such things.

Khushi,' Yes, I told her to not disturb you in future. she understands and even if she doesn't, its between I and her. You shouldn't worry about such matters. I and your baba are alive and we can take care of these matters. I just wished that you had told me when it was happening. Advay shouldn't be involved in these matters. you know his temper. It wouldn't be appropriate for you or him to reply back to your aunt.'

Chandhini nodded,' Okay ayi. It won't happen in future.'

Arnav,' Your health and your happiness are most important thing. All these obligations and rituals, there are other people who can follow them. My princess shouldn't even think about these things. okay.'

Chandhini smiled as she leaned against his shoulder,' Baba, I'm older now. I can follow all the traditions.'

Khushi smiled proudly at her words. Arnav patted chandhini's hairs,' I can't believe my little chandhini has grown up so much.'

chandhini felt embarrassed at their reaction,' I'm very sensible ayi, baba. Even if no believes it.' she said the last words with a pout.

Khushi and Arnav laughed at her cuteness. 

Advay walked in at the moment, he was holding his coat in his arms and heard his parents laughing with chandhini sitting near them with a grumpy expression on her face. He greeted everyone and then, ruffled Chandhini's hairs before settling down on nearby sofa.

chandhini flattened her hairs as she threw him a dark glance,' Baba, see he messed up my hairs.' she said the words and then, started to worry if Advay would mind,' just kidding.' she added.

Arnav,' Now you must be worried that if your baba and Advay would fight? Am I right?'

Chandhini nodded while Advay frowned from sofa. did he miss something?

Baba,' you shouldn't worry. I'm his dad. It's my right to discipline him. it shouldn't bother you. okay!'

chandhini nodded while advay raised a brow at the word discipline. He didn't really think that he needed it. But he guessed that they were discussing something before he came. 

He looked at her, she did looked bit tense. chandhini noticed his gaze and sat up,' let me bring your soup. you must be hungry.' she had asked chef to prepare it daily.  

Advay nodded. 

Chandhini got up and went toward the kitchen. Advay spoke to ayi and baba for few minutes and then, left to go and change. He showered and changed into informal clothes and came downstairs. Chandhini had arranged everything on the table and had gone back to sit with ayi and baba. he listened to their talk as he drank the soup. He kind of missed the times in Delhi when he had all of her to himself. But she was happier here and therefore, it was best to stay here. After finishing the soup, servants came to take away the dishes. 

He went back toward his family and laid down on a sofa. He didn't know when listening to their chatter he fell asleep. He woke up when Kavya jumped on him,' Uncle Advay!' she happily called. He opened one sleepy eye and realized that he had accidentally dozed off. It was bit late. he was alone in the sitting area with a small quilt covering him.

Veer came forward and picked up Kavya,' Kavya, bad manners. Uncle was sleeping.'

Advay sat up and said to Veer,' it's okay. Come here little princess. Tell me how was your outing?'

He took Kavya in his arms and listened to her. She really was mini-chandhini. she could speak non-stop. After some time, her nany came to take her and Advay handed over her with a promise that he'll come pick her up tomorrow from school.

He got up and straightened the cushions on sofa and picked up the quilt and went upstairs to his room. Chandhini had her wardrobe open and was selecting a dress. Advay walked in and put the quilt on bed and then, laid down on it. He quietly watched her trying different sarees. she didn't ask for his opinion; so, he didn't gave any input. 

As he watched her, again he thought about Kavya. He would like to have a child. He or she would be naughty like Chandhini. Will tiny be a strict mother or she would become another child when dealing with their kids?

Chandhini decided on a red saree and put it separately. she opened the safe installed in the wardrobe and took out few of jewelry sets. she decided on a gold one and put it on top and closed the safe again. As for her shoes, she had matching ones. Finished she turned to find Advay staring at her with a tender expression.

'why're you trying to creep me out?', she asked and opened her hairs and started brushing them.

Advay smiled and replied,' I had read that beautiful people are heartless. I guess its truth. After making me a traveler on the road of love, my beautiful guide has left me midway.'

Chandhini who had tensed at his initial words relaxed,' Are you planning to start teaching English poetry again?'

Advay let out a loud sigh,' In your love, I've become a poet. Totally useless. even during the meeting I was thinking about you.'

Chandhini didn't pay any attention to him,finishing brushing her hairs and then, went to change her clothes. After coming out, she took out game of throne book and laid on bed. She opened the book and started to read.

Advay turned toward her and laid his head on her tummy and closed his eyes.

After some time, chandhini felt him raise her shirt and start kissing her navel. ' Advay?' she said in surprise as he bit her,' pay attention to me.' he grumbled like a little child.

Chandhini sighed and put the book away but at that moment, his phone rang. Both stared at each other for few seconds, then Chandhini grabbed her book again and opened it. 

Advay reached for his phone and picked up the call, it was Suresh. There was an issue with American branch's one project. Advay looked at Chandhini and feeling regret got up and left the room. He couldn't ignore this issue. So, it was better to let her read the book in quiet.

Chandhini looked up when the door closed.  ' I was missing you in meeting' she imitated his voice. Then, she shook her head and started reading again.

.............

Later at night

Advay opened the room door and entered it. The room was immersed in darkness. The only light was coming from the moon through the window.  She had left the window open. He closed it and closed the curtains. The room was totally dark now. 

He used his mobile light to take off his clothes and put them away. Then, he went to bed and slid down onto the bed. He put the mobile on the side table and turned toward her. In darkness, he couldn't see her.  He moved forward until his body was pressed against hers. He hugged her as he closely listened to her breathing. she was awake. He smiled. Then, rubbed his body lightly against her.

Chandhini had felt angry at him when he hadn't returned after an hour. Feeling vindictive, she had put the book back in drawer and turned off the light and had tried to sleep. But she couldn't. he was such a cheater. He had told her that he would give her priority but instead he was working again. she had been mentally cursing him, when he had come back. she had immediately feigned sleep knowing that he had wanted to touch her. 

But now, she was in trouble. she couldn't suddenly 'wake up' as he knew that she was a deep sleeper but at the same time, he was teasing her mercilessly.

Advaya's arm snaked around her abdomen and then, he hand started to raise her shirt. He touched her bare skin and then reached up and started teasing her upper body. Her body responded. He slowly started moving his hand down her body. Chandhini mumbled,' advay' unable to stop herself. His warm breath touched her face, then he took her lower lip between his lips and rubbed on it. Her breathing fast, she tried to move his hand away. He laughed lightly and moved his hand away and let go of her lip. Then, he lowered his body and entered her. Her breathing was labored. He slowly started to pleasure her .....
