Hey guys. Before you throw tomatoes and chappals at me, really sorry for the late update. I was too lazy and our FA's got over only on Monday so to get the update together, I got delayed. Sorry again. Hope the part is worth the wait. Without delay, I give you Chapter-3.

Chapter 3- The two P's- Prank and Punishment

"Good morning everyone," Kumud said, feeling cheerful. Ayaan, surprised at her being so happy after yesterday asked her, "Kumud, are you fine? You're suddenly so happy?" "Ayaan, you'll come to know in some time." Kumud answered bewildering Ayaan all the more.

Ayaan was waiting when Asad suddenly screamed out aloud. Ayaan saw Kumud laughing and understood she had something to do with this. He walked up slowly getting scared as Asad was shouting again and again. As soon as he saw Asad, he unknowingly started laughing and shouted out, Ammi, Abbu, Najma, Nikhat, Nuzhat, and come up. You have got to see this. Everybody ran up afraid it was something serious and when they walked in, at first they thought it's a thief and went to beat him up. After hearing muffled, "It's me" from Asad they finally stopped beating him and saw him carefully.

They realized it was their very own Asad and burst out laughing seeing him covered in paint and flour. They were just about to ask him when Kumud came in laughing without even seeing him and Asad understood she had something to do with this. "Miss Kumud, what did you do?" he asked her with a grim face.

"Asad, I thought you were smart enough to understand what this was. Well, I'll explain anyway. I came into your room at 4 in the morning when you were snoring and went into your bathroom and unplugged the heater and put another plug in. Then I made sure that when you would come to have your bath, you are colored well enough so in one of the tanks which sends water to only both of our washrooms, I mixed red paint and so when you came in to have your bath, you were drenched in the cold water which was red in color. Then I attached a bucket of paint to your bathroom door so that it will fall on you when you open the door from inside and then in your towel, I put flour mixed with itching powder whose effect should start," she saw her watch, "just about now."

As if on cue, Asad started scratching his body and glaring at her. Luckily, it was a healthy powder and did not cause any rashes. The others who were present there also started laughing and then Ayaan went up to Kumud and told her, "Bhabhi, you are great. This prank was amazing. Sorry bhaijaan, but she is awesome."

Kumud's smile faded and so did Asad's hearing the bhabhi and Ayaan realized it a few seconds later but by then, it was too late. "Ayaan, why did you call me Bhabhi?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

"Actually, actually, the thing is my brother has a small, tiny crush on you so we tease him about it so I called you bhabhi. Sorry," he blurted out in his nervousness and then held his ears and pleaded with puppy-dog eyes. Asad could only glare at him but he was thankful that he didn't mention the L-Word to Kumud. Kumud knew the real reason and she didn't expect something this close to what she thought. She always thought that Asad had some feelings for her but shrugged it off as her imagination but now hearing Ayaan say that, she was sure. She though, was still pondering about her own feelings. So, if Ayaan had said that Asad loved her, she would have been expected to answer so she was glad that Ayaan stopped at crush. She looked around and saw everyone's anxious faces.

"Don't worry everyone. I'm not angry or upset. I am just so amazing that Asad couldn't have helped but have a crush on me," Kumud told them, to calm them down. All anxious faces except one started laughing and Asad said, "Miss Kumud, don't you think a little too highly of yourself? You're not that amazing you know?"

"Asad, you are the one who has a crush on me. Not the other way around so you can't criticize me of highly thinking of myself. You fed my ego so deal with it," saying this, Kumud smiled and went out of there and into her room, determined not to think about this matter again.

The next three weeks passed in a blur with everyone teasing Asad and at times Kumud too about his crush on her though everyone knew it was love but why pass an opportunity to tease their prim and proper Asad. In no time, it was time for Kumud's school to start and Asad was dreading this time because that meant lesser time with Kumud even though his office started later on. Only then did a brainwave strike Asad.

"Ammi, I'll drop Nuzhat to school from tomorrow. I don't think it's safe for her to go alone especially during these times" Asad told Dilshaad at the dining table. Nuzhat who was there interrupted before Dilshaad could say anything, "But bhaijaan, bhabhi will also be there with me so what's the need for you to come along?"

Nikhat who understood why bhaijaan was giving Nuzhat this sudden protection said, "Nuzhat, understand. Kumud will be there with you so obviously it's unsafe for you" she said, stressing on 'Kumud'. Kumud started blushing and Asad too started blushing. To cover up his embarrassment at being caught, he said, "What nonsense Nikhat, if she wants she can go alone." "Nikhat, he's really worried about his sister. Let him drop them. See, he's even blushing due to his worry." Dilshaad said.

Asad immediately stood up and said, "Nuzhat, hurry up or you'll get late and then I'll be late too." He picked up his keys and went outside to start the car and Nuzhat ran behind him, dragging Kumud along.

They got into the car when Asad noticed that Kumud's dupatta got stuck in the car door. He was about to tell her but she realized it and then opened the door to get her dupatta in. "So Kumud, excited for your first day at school?" Asad asked, trying to make casual conversation. "Asad, I'm not a school child that you're asking me that question. I'm the teacher. But yes, I am excited to meet the children who I'll be teaching." Kumud replied.

"Bhabhi, what do I call you in school? I'll call you ma'am or else bhabhi? I'm really confused." Nuzhat asked Kumud while scratching her head. "Nuzhat, you'll be calling me ma'am. No bhabhi. Anyway, I'll be teaching kids and not your grade, so don't worry. We won't be meeting that often at school. After school, meet me near the main office. We'll leave together from there and come fast because otherwise we won't get an auto." Kumud replied.

Asad seizing the opportunity said, "I'll pick you guys up. You don't have to worry about an auto. I have your number so Kumud, I'll call you when I reach in the evening and here's the school. Enjoy your day and Nuzhat, no complaints from teachers. Bye" and drove off without giving Kumud the chance to reply.

Everything went well for Kumud and Nuzhat and by the end of the day; Kumud had forgotten about Asad coming to pick them up but was reminded when he sent her a text. She then met up with Nuzhat and they went outside to wait for Asad as he said he'll be coming in five minutes. A kid had fallen down and Kumud went to help her out when Asad came and saw her. His love for her, seeing that scene grew much more.

Kumud felt someone staring at her and saw Asad. She turned bright red which made Nuzhat think it's because she was scared and sad for the child. Asad just kept staring at her and was admiring her serene beauty. Nuzhat went up to him and shook him and then the three of them left for home.

In the car, Kumud who was bored with Asad's choice of songs on the radio bent forward to change the channel, a one which played new songs. Asad, trying to be naughty changed the channel even though he liked the previous song. Kumud again changed the channel. This went on for a few minutes when suddenly Kumud's hand touched Asad's and time stopped for both of them. Nuzhat who saw car speeding towards them shouted, "Bhaijaan, eyes on the road." Asad immediately swerved the car and luckily nothing serious happened. Kumud hit her elbow on the window though and it started bleeding.

Asad, seeing her elbow was just about to stop the car when he realized he would reach the house in 1 minute, so he speeded up and then reached the house. Dilshaad panicked as soon as she saw Kumud and asked Asad what happened while Asad was calmly telling everyone to get ice and a first aid box while he himself got water. He cleaned the wound with a lot of squeals from Kumud and finally got up to explain how it happened. He narrated his view of things leaving out the eye lock.

Nuzhat who wasn't satisfied said, "Ammi, bhaijaan is partly lying. He didn't see the car ahead because he was busy staring into bhabhi's eyes. If I hadn't warned him, we might have been in the hospital by now.

Seeing Dilshaad's panicked face, Ayaan said, "Ammi, I don't think bhaijaan should drive Kumud and Nuzhat to school. I don't even think he should drive. I'll drive him, Kumud and Nuzhat from tomorrow onwards myself. We don't want any more accidents now do we bhaijaan?" and then winked at Asad.

Asad caught him by the ear and twisted it until Ayaan shrieked out in pain and said, "Really Ayaan, now you'll teach me how to drive? Maybe you forgot that it was me who taught you itself." Dilshaad freed Ayaan and pulled away Asad's hand and said, "Asad, maybe Ayaan is right. If you keep staring at Kumud like that, you never know when another accident may occur and I don't want to risk anyone's life." She then laughed and then hit him on his head.

Kumud, who was blushing and laughing at the same time said, "Well, if the family reunion and drama is over, can I have something to eat? I am starving so badly. I also lost so much blood today" and gave a dramatic sigh with her hand on her head. "Miss Drama Queen, please can you stop your drama. Everyone is hungry and anyways, when are you not hungry. You also lost hardly 5ml blood today so you haven't actually lost much." Asad told her with a serious look on his face.

"Oh My God," Kumud said in a dramatic voice, "5ml of blood. How will you know the value of a drop of blood, Asad babu. 5ml is 0.005 liters of blood. How can you say it's not much" and then gave a shocked expression which made everyone laugh with tears in their eyes.

Asad shrugged his shoulders and went towards the kitchen to get something from the fridge but as soon as he opened the fridge, the bowl of cream that Kumud had prepared for making a cake with the help of Dilshaad fell on Asad's shoes and pants. Kumud once again went into her dramatic mode and said, "My cream! Do you even know Asad, how much time it took for me to make it? Now what do I do?" and once again, her hand went on her head. A brainwave suddenly struck her, "Idea! Asad, you'll be helping me tonight after I have some food and you won't be allowed to have dinner until the cream is made. And most importantly, no one else is permitted to help because Asad spilt the cream and he will deal with the torture."

Asad thought, "Oh no. I've already been subsided to her torture once; I'm so dead this time." All the other family members were trying hard to keep the smile off their face while Asad gulped.

"Aunty, can I please have something to eat. I'm really feeling hungry. I know you're tired so if there's nothing, I'll make something for myself." Kumud told her, now really hungry.

"Kumud, don't worry. I have made sandwiches and French fries. They're in the kitchen and the sauce is also there. You can have that. Anyway, you must be feeling a little weak." Dilshaad told her.

Kumud thanked her gratefully and then dug into her food. Once she was full, she looked around for Asad but couldn't find so she assumed that he escaped from there when she was relishing her food.

Seeing the others fallen faces, she ran up to his room and opened the door without knocking just to find Asad in a towel and shirtless. She had seen his abs before, it was only through his shirt but now seeing him without his T-Shirt on deepened her feelings. Without letting her think any further, Asad coughed which snapped her out of her thoughts. He suddenly looked up only to find Kumud there. He immediately covered himself with his hands, though they weren't doing much to cover him.

"Asad, first of all, nothing is going to happen to you so please don't cover yourself up like a girl because seriously, it's looking weird. Also, dress yourself quickly and come down soon because your punishment is going to start as soon as you come. You have 5 minutes. Even a second more, and your punishment will become more severe and I'm sure you don't want that so down, quickly" Kumud said and with that, she rushed out of the room.

As soon as she was out, she started blushing furiously thinking of what happened just a few seconds back. She reached the kitchen and started everything necessary for making the cream and also things ready for Asad's torture but suddenly she changed her mind. She decided to not make cream and instead just make maggi for now.

As soon as Asad came down, she gave him onions to cut which were unpeeled and almost 1kg of it too. Asad asked her, "Is this for the whole family or only for you?" "Asad, how nave can you get? Of course this is not for me; this is not for the whole family either. You're the only one who's going to eat it and at least half of it. Whatever is left over, I will eat but you can't get away without eating at least half." Kumud told him, smiling as if it was a normal thing.

She then handed him tomatoes to cut too and then made him grate cheese. He stood there doing this for half an hour while Kumud was boiling the water and putting the spices of two four-packs together along with opening that packets and breaking the maggi.

When Asad was done cutting the vegetables and grating the cheese, Kumud gave him instructions on how to make maggi and also made comments about how surprised she was that he didn't know how to make maggi, of all things as even a 5 year old kid knew how to make it. When they were, Asad heaved a sigh of relief and was just about to leave when Kumud tapped him on the shoulder and showed him a plate filled with maggi and some tomato sauce along with it. He rubbed him eyes and with wide eyes, he took in the sight in front of him.

He was just about to protest when he saw her looking at him with challenge and anger in her eyes. He meekly took the plate from her and started eating slowly from the fork, still looking at her like a little kid. Once he was done, he was amazed at how fast he had finished it and asked her for more saying it was very tasty.

Kumud thought, "I thought this would be a punishment, he seems to be enjoying eating the maggi immensely. Why Kumud, why did you think of such an easy punishment?" she scolded herself.

Asad finished off the whole maggi by himself and gave her a satisfied smile and said, "Thank you Kumud. That was definitely one of the best maggis I've ever tasted. The grated cheese was genius."

Kumud gave him a smile, a genuine one, since she herself was feeling happy seeing his happy face. He then went back to his normal mood and walked off to the hall. The other members of the family who had just come down after having a nap and Rashid and Nikhat who had come back saw the kitchen sink filled with vessels. Rashid and Nikhat had no idea what was happening so they had a confused look on their face while Ayaan, Dilshaad and Nuzhat had a brief idea of what had happened. They saw Kumud smiling and Asad moody so they thought that Kumud's punishment had worked but when they heard the story from Kumud, they were shocked for mainly two reasons, one, that she was happy and Asad was still moody and two, that Asad had actually eaten maggi and that too such a large amount.

Ayaan gave Dilshaad a knowing wink while Dilshaad just smiled. Everyone except Asad and Kumud were very hungry and Dilshaad set to work making dinner while Kumud started washing the dishes which she and Asad had used in making maggi. While washing the dishes, she started remembering his different expressions when they were making maggi and when he was having it.

"How cute he looked" Kumud said out aloud forgetting that Dilshaad was nearby. Dilshaad's ears popped up and she turned towards Kumud with raised eyebrows. Kumud shook her head in a no and both the ladies went back to their own work.

After dinner was made, everyone except Asad was at the table. Kumud was sent up to see Asad since she volunteered. She went into Asad's room only to see him sleeping peacefully. Admiring him, she went and sat by his side, still mesmerized by his looks.

Well, if you didn't like it, now you're allowed to throw chappals and tomatoes at me. And -Mith-, once again I expect a review. 😆
