As we reached the stairs and began stepping down, Sanskar clenched his fist. I frowned and looked down lazily.

My eyes instantly widened in shock seeing who are all standing there in the entrance of the hall. I quickly looked towards Sanskar's face which has turned hard now.

Standing there are Aman, three police officers, Ragini, Mrs. Gadodia and Vinay Sharma.

They all looked up to us titling their necks as we stepping down slowly. Ragini and her Mom are glaring at me deadly while Vinay's face is of fury.

Noo..

What do they want now?

Why did they come here?

Ofcourse, to take me! My inner voice screamed at me.

I felt tensed and tightened my grip on Sanskar's elbow. He stopped in the step feeling my grip and turned to me.

"Jaan, I am here na. They can't do anything. Don't worry!"

He told softly while I nodded my head slowly while my heart is speeding inside.

My eyes went back to the people who are standing downstairs. Sanskar begins stepping down, while I stepped down along with him.

Shona, why are you fearing now? There is no need, they're nothing to you remember!!

And You are married! They can't do anything to you. Sanskar won't let anything happen!

So cool down..!

My mind retorted inside which somehow encouraged me. Yes! Why should I be afraid of them?

We reached down and walked to them, standing little distance away infront of them. All the while, everyone's eyes are focused on us.

I met my so called not so mother's gaze. I glared at her gathering all my courage, which made her grit her teeth.

I wonder how it is still not broken, seeing her putting much pressure. Poor teeth!

Suddenly my mind created the image of her face without any teeth which made me want to laugh. But seeing the situation, I think it's better to keep my mouth from laughing.

"Good Afternoon, Sir", one of the police officers greeted him.

Afternoon?

I looked at the clock and saw the time is half passed one.

Sanskar nodded his head curtly and turned to Aman who is standing with nervous expression.

"What did I tell you, Aman?", He asked coldly, while I frowned. His face went pale.

"Um Sorry Sir, I told them clearly but the officers insisted to meet you", he tell bowing his head like always, not able to meet his cold gaze.

My eyes went to others who are watching silently, some having anger. My eyes narrowed on Ragini who is staring at something. I followed her gaze and clenched my fist. I saw Sanskar hasn't buttoned his shirt.

How dare she stare at my husband?

Didn't she have her own? Oh, he is in jail. But still she doesn't have rights to stare at My Man!

I clenched my fist hard which is yelling at me silently to punch her.

I felt Sanskar looked down at me as my grip tightened on his elbow. I didn't look at him as my glare is focused on Ragini. He followed my gaze and narrowed his eyes infinitesimally.

She quickly averted her gaze upon seeing us. Good for her! If she again look at him na, I would have plucked out her eyes.

Huh!

Oh God! What I am thinking?

But she deserve it, Shona. No worries!

Our gaze turned to the police as he started telling something.

"Sir, we've got a complaint against you. So, we insisted seeing you", the officer told.

My eyes bulged while Sanskar gave him a cold look raising his eyebrow.

"Still, you can't come here in my place without my permission. You could have waited down on the meeting hall", He told in a dominant tone, which have the power to make anyone obey.

I saw the officer shudder looking him.

"Tell me, why are you here? I am sure that these stupid Gadodias' might've gave a false complaint against me"

He told glaring at Ragini and her mother.

"Sanskar! Mind your language. They told me you have kidnapped Swara from her home. How dare you? She is my fiance. Today evening is our engagement"

Vinay spatted angrily, giving death glare to Sanskar. I swallowed.

I saw Sanskar clenching his fist hard while his eyes turned dark in rage.

"She.is.Mine! Don't you dare take her name in your mouth", He said in a dangerous tone.

If only looks could kill.. Vinay must have been buried deep inside the ground by now.

"How can you say that? Her parents have agreed to our marriage, you are the one interfered in between", Vinay told gritting his teeth, after few seconds of coming back to his sense. Oh, he was stucked due to Sanskar's look.

"Inspector, what nonsense they are talking. I don't have time for this stupidity drama. So, I warn you all, out of my home Now!"

He said coldly making everyone shiver.

"Mr. SM.. Mr. Sharma has gave complaint against you for kidnapping his fiance. Her family is also saying the same, so it will be good if you let Miss. Gadodia go with them"

Lie!

Total Lie!

How dare they put false blame on him?

Sanskar raised his eyebrow arrogantly, "Did it look like I have kidnapped her?"

He asked wrapping his arm around me protectively yet possessively. I felt warmth filling my heart. Everyone looked at me while Vinay's eyes flashed with rage as same as Ragini and her Mom.

I think it's time for me to speak now.

"Inspector sir, they have told you lie. Sanskar didn't kidnap me. I am the one willingly came with him. And for your information, he is My Husband! He don't have to let me go."

My firm words made them freeze. I saw Ragini's face going pale.

Oh, take that stupid girl!

He is MINE! And you can't do anything to ruin my life.

I felt my lips turning into a little smirk while Sanskar's grip tightened around me, making tingles arose on the place where his hand has held me.

"What the hell!", Vinay shouted making me flinch little. But I don't fear him until I am in my love's arms.

"Didn't you hear her? We are married, She is my wife! You can't do anything. So leave my home before I lose my patience and call my guards", He said calmly.

"I don't believe you both. You can't be married. What is the proof that you guys are married? She didn't even have mangalsutra on her neck!"

Ragini told taking a step infront, like she couldn't bear the matter of me married to him.

Sanskar gave her a look, "I don't find any need to explain to you. So shut your dirty mouth"

Ragini clenched her fist tightly feeling humiliated. A giggle escaped my mouth without my knowledge. Her eyes directed at me, while I pressed my mouth and smirked which made her infuriate more.

"You little-"

She took a step towards me but Sanskar stretched his hand before me.

"One more step towards my wife, you will regret badly."

She stopped abruptly hearing his threat. She looked at me once and then my hand which is fisting his shirt. She turned her face angrily. One side of my lips quirked up.

"But Sir, if you are married, you have to show us proof. So we can solve it and leave. Please", Inspector told him politely while I looked at him amused bit.

"Aman.."

"Yes, sir..", He nodded without even hearing what he has to say. He quickly opened his file and show the officer something, which I guess may be our marriage certificate. But we just married in morning, How could he have it within this less time?

It must be SM's power!

I shrugged my thoughts.

Vinay and Ragini stepped beside to look themselves.

Oh poor fellows! Enjoy yourselves!

Their both eyes widened in shock. They instantly looked at us.

"So it's clear now that we are married. So no one has rights to take my wife. Inspector, you should have thought before stepping inside my home. How dare you accuse me?"

Inspector gulped seeing his face.

"Sir, it's Mr. Sharma. I can't help it. I am really Sorry, Sir. Please, don't do anything"

His voice is filled with nervousness and fear.

"Get out, now!"

He ordered while the officers quickly nodded and retreated to the lift while the famous Gadodias' and Vinay Sharma stood in their places rooted.

"I said to all of you. Get Out", He grumbled.

"You have done a mistake, Sanskar", Vinay said, his eyes filled with anger.

"Oh, Really?", He asked in mocking tone.

His eyes flickered to me once making me uncomfortable and again went to Sanskar.

"I will show you soon."

He grumbled and left to the lift where already the officers are waiting.

"You both too, Get out of our home."

Oh, It's me who shouted at them. They looked at me dazed. I glared at them. I saw Sanskar's smirk with the corner of my eyes.

Mrs. Gadodia walked away with defeated and insulted face. Ragini looked around our home and then us, her eyes filled with anger and envy. She then left.

Aman went back of them. Soon the lift door closed as they disappeared.

Sanskar instantly turned me in his arms, circling my waist. I looked at him gaped.

"Oh my lioness! You've looked hot there."

He told smirking while I felt my cheeks warming up. I averted my gaze to other side, as his gaze is too strong and intense which are giving this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach.

A chill went down my spine feeling his face bending down to my side. I stiffened in his arms feeling his lips on my neck. I tightly closed my eyes gripping his biceps. He kissed my skin softly as I felt goosebumps arising on that place.

God! What is happening to me?

I am gonna die...

I am gonna diee..

I am gonna dieee!!!

My heart thumped inside rapidly while my breath became heavy. He kissed me upto my cheek leaving trail of kisses along, making my knees go weak.

I wrapped my one arm around his neck, not want to fall on floor. His grip tightened around my waist as he pulled me impossibly closer to him, leaving no air between us.

His hair is brushing my side face and cheek giving tickles while he pecked my cheek little tightly and backed away, but I can feel his breath still there.

I opened my eyes slowly hearing his chuckle. I narrowed my eyes while my heart is still thumping inside fast. His gaze filled with tenderness and adoration, looking directly into my black orbs making my stomach flip. I feel myself drowning in his deep brown eyes which is deeper than any ocean.

"So?"

"Huh!?", I asked coming to sense.

"Are you hungry, Jaan? I will ask Aman to bring something"

He asked me while I smiled little.

"No, Sanskar."

"You aren't hungry?"

"It is.. You don't have to tell Aman. I will cook, what's say?", I asked with a big smile.

He shook his head instantly, "No need, Jaan. It's just I gave day off to the servants. From tomorrow, they'll be here. Even your home maid Mrs. Kamala will be here tomorrow. So, you shouldn't do any work. Understood?"

"Kamala Maa?", I asked perplexed.

"Yeah, I asked her to join here from tomorrow.", He said with little smile while I looked at him surprised. I felt my heart jumping in joy.

"Really?"

He nodded his head making my smile turn to a big grin.

"Wait. I will call Aman."

I quickly held his hand as he approached his pocket.

"Sanskar, cooking is not any tough work. Seriously, I love to cook. So, I am cooking the lunch"

"Jaan.."

"It's final. Stop! Stop speaking. I am going to kitchen"

I announced him and came out of his arms. He looked at me frowned while I gave him a cheeky smile.

I walked to the kitchen while hearing his footsteps which are following me.

I entered the kitchen and smiled seeing it's black beauty as the cabinets, cupboards and kitchen island are full of black woods and granite.

As I walked to the cabinet to check what all are there, I saw him entering inside the kitchen.

"Jaan, if you want to cook, you can cook some other day. You might be tired today, so go and take rest. We have to go out in evening too."

I took things out of the cabinet hearing him.

"It's ok, Sanskar. I am not that tired, I have took enough rest already. Let me cook for you."

I told him and stand on my toes to reach the upper cabinet to take the vessel, but I couldn't reach it. I saw his hand coming from my back as he easily took them out and placed it on the counter.

I titled my head little to side and saw him standing behind me, "Thank you"

He shook his head, "You won't listen to me, right?"

He asked with fake anger. I laughed and shook my head.

I turned to the counter, "No Hubby. Now like a good boy, go and sit. I will cook for you."

He wrapped me from behind and pecked my temple, "Ok my Mrs.!"

I smiled.

He left me while I turned and saw his retreating figure. I narrowed my eyes seeing him sitting on a stool near kitchen island.

"Sanskar.."

"What?"

"I told you to go..", I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Oh, you told me to go and sit. See, I am sitting here. You cook and I will watch"

He said in a matter-of-fact tone while I raised my eyebrows.

I then shrugged and walked to the refrigerator to take the vegetables. I took all the needed things and placed them on the island after washing them, far from where he is sitting.

I know his gaze is following me wherever I go, making me distracted and nervous. I am really trying to make his presence not affect me. But his intense gaze is arising the sleeping butterflies in my stomach.

I begin to cut the vegetables and paneer. I carefully cut them in a slow pace with a knife.

"Jaan, be careful.."

I heard his deep tone. I stopped and looked at him.

"Why?"

He frowned.

"Why means what Jaan? You are handling the knife so told you to be careful"

He said shrugging his shoulders. I huffed putting the knife down and looked at him with my hands on hips.

"If you sat there and kept looking at me like that na, I will surely cut my finger."

I saw his eyes widen little in amusement. Then only I realised what I have blurted out. I felt heat rushing upto my cheeks.

"Like what, Jaan?", His lips instantly broke into his famous smirk.

Shona, You really are a Stupid!!!

"No um.. Nothing..", I tried to hide my blurt out. But will he leave me without teasing?

Nahh!!

"Is my gaze affecting you, Jaan?"

He asked while I can clearly sense his teasing tone.

Yes! One hundred percentage!!!

"No.. Why should your gaze affect me?", I lied clearly trying to keep my face neutral.

"Then my presence is affecting you?", He asked raising his eyebrow.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

"Not at all..", I said with a tight smile. But my eyes betrayed me by travelling down to his face. As he sat on the stool with his elbows pressed on the island top, his abs and muscles are looking bulgy making him look hot.

What!!!

No No No!

Shona, what the fish are you thinking!

You've became so so shameless...

Stop! Stop staring!

I closed my eyes quickly to control my heartbeat and also my wandering gaze which are so interested in him!

I opened it to see him smirking at me.

He knew! He found it!

Sh!t

I quickly looked down at the vegetables.

Look, Shona.. You have so many things to look at. How cute the vegetables are, see! Cute red tomatoes, long lean carrots, fatty colourful capsicums, green green chillies, big onions, little peas, pure white paneer and also beautiful cauliflower.

You can admire all you want and cut them neatly for lunch.

They will be so happy for getting your attention!!!

Hmm?? Will they be happy?

Really?

Oh, No! They all will be very angry to get my attention as I am gonna kill them.

Poor buddies!

I am really sorry... Don't mind me, pls! But I will turn you all very tasty. But you just have go through the processes like cutting, boiling, frying and all. After that, you all will be tasty.

But we all will be dead by then, I felt like the green chilli is glaring at me. I looked at others to receive the same reaction.

I widened my eyes...

Wah! When they got eyes, nose and lips? Even eyebrows which are raised in anger now!

I got this feeling that they all are ready to murder me anytime.

No, No! Don't, please. See, just now I am married. I want to live so many years with my love Sanskar! Don't kill me, Little cute buddies!!!

I made my bestest pout to convince them. Cause I know they always works...

Shona, you forgot puppy eyes!

Haan haan!

I made my puppy face and cute pout to comfort the Vegetables!

If you all want, I can show white flag too! We can make peace. What's say, buddies?

"Jaannnn..."

I jerked up and looked at Sanskar. My eyes frowned seeing him gazing at me puzzled.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Sanskar?"

"That I should ask you. Why are you looking at the vegetables like that? What happened to you? Why are you even showing your cute pout to them but not to me?"

He asked crossing his arms, looking at me seriously.

Huh!

I looked down at the vegetables to see them normal without any organs. So they accepted peace!

Yay! My pout and puppy eyes worked!

"Jaan, I asked you something? Why did you pout at them?"

I pressed my lips tightly to prevent my laugh, looking at his cute serious face.

Oh My Hubby!

"Sanskar, Are you jealous of the vegetables?"

I asked with a teasing smirk. He narrowed his eyes.

"Huh! No.. Never! I just asked you."

He told too quickly. I raised my eyebrow giving "Oh really?" look.

"Jaan, I have mails to check. You cook fast, I am hungry."

He took out his phone and started scrolling. After two seconds, I burst out laughing.

Oh my god! The Great SM is jealous of Little vegetables...

"Jaannn..", He said in a warning tone.

"Haan Hubby! I am only cutting Vegetables.. see.."

I again began cutting my buddies with a grin playing on my lips.

Sorry, My Hubby is hungry! So RIP! But don't become sour, ok?

I placed the last dish infront of Sanskar on the dining table.

I saw his eyes wandering around the dishes. Paratha, Kadai paneer, Aloo tikki, vegetable gravy, green chutney and gobi 65. And finally carrot halwa for dessert.

He looked at me while I wiggled my eyebrows with a smile.

"Jaan, these much dishes for only two of us?"

I nodded my head, "Yes.. why?"

"This is too much for me. I will mostly have two parathas with some gravy."

I widened my eyes in shock.

"What? Sanskar, Are you serious?"

He nodded his head with casual expression.

"Sanskar, it's too bad. You should eat more. If you eat like this, how will you do work? You are so careless about your health. You have been eating very little. I really wonder how your grip is more tight than me. And you also have big muscles and all, How? Even I eat more than two parathas. I eat three parathas daily, you know? So from now on, you are gonna eat what I am telling you Okay?"

I looked at him seriously. He is gazing me with unknown emotions filling his eyes, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"What are you looking at?", I asked him. He held my wrists which were in my either sides of waist and pulled me closer to his head chair of dining table where he is sitting. I jerked towards him and about to fell on him but he made me steady.

Without breaking eye contact between our orbs, he slowly took my one wrist to his lips. He kissed my palm softly as a chilled shiver went down my body from the palm. He did the same with my other hand.

A small smile appeared on my lips while he returned my smile and pulled me to his lap. I widened my eyes and quickly about to get up but he tightened his grip around me.

"What are you doing, Sanskar?"

"You know Jaan, no one has ever cared about my health or how much I am eating before, even when I was with my so called family. Mithra aunty may make me eat when I go to Karan's home, not little but a lot more than my stomach can bear. But I won't go there mostly, just very rarely. Seeing you cooking for me in the kitchen with care and scolding me as if I am child, I don't know how to say it but I feel overwhelmed. It make me realise that it would feel so amazing if we have someone to care for us.!"

My heart literally stopped for a second hearing his words, seeing his vulnerable state. I very well know how it will feel if we have no one to care for us.

He is looking like a lost child who don't know what is love and care. Just my few words have made him overwhelmed, he has lot more to have. There are so many things which I would give him, I will make him realise what is true love and care.

He is the only person who is going to be with me always, throughout my whole life. He has already done a lot for me. It's my time! I should give him everything to make him happy.

I wrapped my arm around his neck shifting closer to him in his lap while placing my other palm on his cheek. I bend down and kissed his cheek softly yet lovingly.

And then looked at him, into his eyes.

"Sanskar, see you have me. Forgot everything that has happened before. I am here for you always, to care for you and your everything. Okay? I will always be with you, I will love you, I will care for you, I will hug you, I will kiss you, I will make you smile, I will make you happy, I will cook for you, I will serve you, I will take care of your everything.. And haan even I will scold you, I will beat you, I will order you, I will make you angry, I will make you annoy, I will make you even cry too.."

"Oh really?", He asked smiling, his eyes glinting happily.

"Yes.. Happy tears! Haven't you heard before?", I asked wiggling my eyebrows. He chuckled shaking his head.

I grinned wide.

He pecked my lips and cupped my cheek, "My sweet sweet sweetheart!!"

I giggled hearing him.

"Okay.. Okay Enough.. Now it's time to eat. See my dishes are getting angry that we are not tasting it. I have killed many persons to make my dishes you know!"

I told him and got up from his lap.

"What? What are you blabbering, Jaan?", He asked perplexed.

"I am not blabbering. I am telling the truth. I have killed those poor vegetables to cook for you. They were so angry at me"

I told him pouting. He didn't say anything for few seconds.

"So you were talking to those poor vegetables in the kitchen. That pout!"

I looked at him amused as he found it correctly. He laughed seeing me.

"Jaan, You amuse me a lot. You are so impossible", he told while laughing.

I just shrugged my shoulders and placed a plate infront of him. Then started serving all the dishes silently.

Thank You God! He didn't find it like he found this.

I sighed inwardly. The line "I will love you" came out without my knowledge. Later only I realised it, but I didn't show it in my face. I was afraid that he'd find it and do something. I can't even say what he will do but it will be something I won't like. I know he don't have belief in love. So I should go with baby steps.

Slowly...

Carefully...

I shook my head and concentrated on him as he took his first bite.

I waited for his reaction while he chewed the paratha slowly and then looked at me. I was looking at him expectedly but he didn't show anything.

I suddenly felt bad. But after few seconds, he grinned.

"Jaan, it's too delicious. I was just teasing you.", He told.

I slapped his shoulder lightly and then smiled happily. He chuckled and took his other bite.

He told me to sit and also eat but I refused and told him that I want to serve him today till he ate everything. He agreed and ate.

Successfully, I made him eat four parathas with every other dish.

After he ate the lunch, I gave him a bowl of halwa. He ate a bite with spoon.

"How is it? Is it tasty and sweet?"

I asked him.

"It's very tasty and sweet, Jaan. But not more than You!"

He told with a wink while I scrunched my nose.

"Ew, Too cheesy. Stop flirting and eat. I am gonna eat my lunch", I told.

He smiled. While I served myself and started eating...

After finishing lunch, I cleared everything and washed the dishes. Even Sanskar helped me. He didn't know what to do. I told him how to do while laughing and teasing him.

He pulled into his arms as I looked at him.

"Thank you, sweetheart for your delicious food. I would love to eat your handmade food. But that doesn't mean you should cook for me daily. You can cook whenever we both are free cause I would love to watch you cooking."

He told kissing my cheek. I smiled and nodded my head.

This is the first ever time I had cooked happily for someone. In past, I had cooked for my family, but they won't say anything or make me feel happy. Instead, they would do something to make me sad.

I shrug my thoughts as he took me out to the living hall.

We settled on the soft sofa while I switched on the tv, turning the channels to see if anything is playing of my interest, while snuggling on the side of Sanskar. His arm around me make me feel warm and giddy.

I watched TV while he scrolled his mobile saying that he has so many mails to check.

He informed me that we are going to shopping in the evening to buy all my necessary things and also for our reception dress.

I was surprised hearing that our reception is planned on day after tomorrow evening. He told me that I can invite my friends too if I wish. That made me so happy. I miss my friends a lot. I saw them last time at the pub, after that I hadn't visited them.

He also told me that we will be having our dinner in Karan Bhai's home. I was too happy that I jumped on him and hugged him.

My Life! With Him!

It's just a beginning!

But I already feel too much happier. He is the only reason for everything.

I love him so much!!!

I hope our life will be of more happiness and love.!

I prayed silently to God and also my father.
