Sidharth locked the door behind and sighed. Shehnaaz looked at him and laughed.

Shehnaaz: What happened?

Sidharth: Babuji was checking out the lingerie..

Shehnaaz couldn't hold laughing and Sidharth frowned. She held her ears to apologize.

Sidharth: He thought it was a kid's dress, I told him that I got it to gift my friend's daughter on her birthday.

Shehnaaz: Okay then, I'll repack it, go and gift it.

Sidharth: Great Idea, wrap it and spray some nice perfume on it. I can gift it to one of my fan girl.

Shehnaaz: Who the hell is this fan girl? You've been talking too much about her. (Annoyed) You ain't sleeping on the bed with me tonight. Go to your fan girl.

Sidharth: What?

She pushes him out of the room and locks the door.

Sidharth: What the hell?

He bit his tongue as he realised he was screaming. He knocked on the door.

Sidharth: (whispers) Shehnaaz.. open the door.. (knocks) Shehnaaz.. open the door baby.. I am sorry..

Akhilesh who came there to disturb them thinking that they might be romancing, stood and smirked from far. He went back to his room delighted and slept peacefully.

Sidharth: I will sleep on the mat or the carpet inside the room itself.. please open the door!

Shehnaaz opens the door. He goes in silently. She looked at him with a frown. He took the mat and spread it on the ground, placed a pillow and covered himself in a blanket as he lied on the mat. He was scared of arguing further.

She went near him and stood there staring at him. He looked at her scared. She let loose the strap of her night gown and let it slip on the ground. His eyes opened wide as he saw his wife standing in the lingerie he gifted.

He moved to get up when she pushed him back down and settled on his thighs. He gulped as she held his collar.

Shehnaaz: (Husky voice) Now? What's your opinion? Do I still don't look sexy to you?

Sidharth: Sexiest girl I've ever seen!

Shehnaaz: That's it! Now go to sleep. (Patted his cheek)

Sidharth: What? No action tonight?

Shehnaaz: This was reaction. Go and get action from your fan girl.

Sidharth: (puppy face) I was just joking sweetheart!

Shehnaaz: But I am not!

She moves to get up only to be pulled back by him and land on his chest. He rolls over and she was under him now.

Sidharth: I am sorry! (Leans to kiss her but she places her hand in between)

Shehnaaz: You are crushing me! Look at your size and look at mine. This ain't boxing ring.

He got up and picked her up and placed her on the bed.

Sidharth: Okay, I am not forcing you. Just return my gift now.

Shehnaaz: What are you going to do with it?

Sidharth: My wish! I'll wear it or re-gift it to someone else.

Shehnaaz starts laughing.

Sidharth: I thought you will be angry after listening to re-gifting word. Why are you laughing?

Shehnaaz: You said you will wear it. I was just imagining you in it.

He starts laughing too. Shehnaaz kept gawking hopeless at him laughing. He had the most beautiful smile. His face shined bright and those bunny teeth was adding extra charm. She pulls him closer to her and kisses him giving him the action he had been asking for.

While having breakfast, Akhilesh notices a love bite on Sidharth's neck which though hidden by the collar showed up when he bent down to pick the spoon fallen down on the floor.

He looks at Shehnaaz who sat in the drawing room pretending to work on the laptop. He goes near her with a glass of milk.

Akhilesh: Shehnaaz beta, you seem to be up and working all night. Now while we are all having breakfast, you seem to be busy working. Please have some milk atleast.

The moment Shehnaaz goes to take milk from his hand he leaves the glass, spilling all the milk on the laptop and as he pretended to avoid it he hits it and the laptop falls down and breaks.

Akhilesh: Oh no!! What did I do? All your work went wasted. The laptop is broken. It's all wasted because of me. Now you will have to work overnight on the office system. I am sorry Shehnaaz beta.

Shehnaaz: (though her blood was boiling, she kept calmer face) No worries Babuji. I will take care. I have saved it on shared drive so there is no harm to the data.

Rudhra: Hello Doll, how are you Bachcha?

Shehnaaz: I am good bhaiyya. How are you?

Rudhra: I am doing great. I've joined JB's party today. You know we are officially rivals from today.

Shehnaaz: We knew this beforehand bhaiyya. Our Sasurs (Father-in-law) a.k.a. Asurs (Demons) planning to kick us off their child's life. But little do they know that we are planning to kick them behind the bars. I've sent across the the accounts file to our team. I am sure they will get some clue.

Rudhra: Hmm.. Okay doll, I need to disconnect. I'll call later. Somebody is coming.

Sidharth was back home but Shehnaaz was still at office. He called her up and she informed him that she has to stay back tonight. Though it wasn't necessary as the work was done by the bureau team, but to avoid Akhilesh's doubt, she had to act. Akhilesh was happy because he was successful today in his mission.

Shehnaaz was going through old files in the file room for some clues when suddenly someone held her from back. She immediately striked an elbow to release herself from that person.

Sidharth: Ouuuuchhh.. Shehnaaz! (Held his stomach)

Shehnaaz: Oops!! Sidharth, I am sorry.  Did it hurt you?

Sidharth: No, it was so much pleasure. (Loudly) Of course it did!! Do I look like a punching bag to you?

Shehnaaz: I am sorry! But how would I know if you touch me from behind? I was just defending myself from probable threat.

Sidharth: You should identify your husband by touch. It's been over two months for our marriage now.

Shehnaaz: Oh really? How much did we touch each other in those two months? You were the one who ignored me for Sana.

Sidharth: So what? You are the Sana!

Shehnaaz: But you loved Sana thinking it wasn't me. You didn't even for once looked at me and always scolded me.

Sidharth: Shut up! No need to bring up old stories. What I want is atleast now you should touch me so much that you should identify me even with blindfold.

Shehnaaz: Lusty fellow!!

Sidharth: Lusty? Ma'am, you are mistaken. I loved you without a face and identity. How can I be lusty? Now also I am asking my wife to touch me often not any random girl walking on road. (Frowns)

Shehnaaz: Okay! Okay! Sorry! What brings you here?

Sidharth: You!

Shehnaaz: I meant to say, Why are did you come here? I informed you I am working over night.

Sidharth: I got dinner for you. We'll sit together and have dinner. I'll sleep on the sofa in your cabin but I want to be near you. I can't sleep at home alone.

Shehnaaz: (pulls his cheeks) Why are you so cute and sweet? I feel like gobbling you.

Sidharth: Oh God! No! I am still very young to be eaten. I am yet to become a father of 10-15 kids.

Shehnaaz: What? 10-15? Are you downloading them or ordering from online or printing them?

Sidharth: Why? Don't you know how they are born?

Shehnaaz: I know, but do you think I am a dog or a cat to deliver so many?

Sidharth: No! But for now don't think about output. Concentrate on the process!

Shehnaaz: Right now, I am hungry FOR FOOD. Else I'll eat you for sure.

Sidharth: Conveniently changing the topic. Come, let's eat.

They both eat their dinner. Post dinner Sidharth curls up on the couch in the office and goes to sleep whereas Shehnaaz gets busy looking at the old files collecting evidences against Akhilesh and Alok. She takes photos of few pages.

It was early morning when she goes and kisses Sidharth and adjusts on the sofa with him to rest for a while.
