Akash brought Ananya in his cabin. As soon as Shreya saw her, she remembered about Akash's order. Akash was already glaring at her. She immediately said, "Sir I know aap kya bolenge. I am extremely sorry...Ma'am I am very very sorry." Ananya smiled at her and said, "It is OK Shreya...kaam karte karte nahi yaad reheta. Don't worry its ok." She came forward and hugged Shreya. Shreya was hell shocked as Ananya never even wished her back but today she was being friendly. She looked at Akash with curious eyes. In reply, Akash shrugged his shoulders. Shreya understood that something might have happened. She packed her files while Ananya and Akash sat down. Shreya said, "OK then, aap log baat kijiye, mujhe thoda kaam hai...hope you have a good time together." Saying this she smiled and winked at Akash and left.
Akash and Ananya were sitting face-to-face on his table. Ananya looked around and said, "Nice place! Sach mein tumhara office to bohot acha hai." Akash smiled and said, "Glad you liked it...by the way kya logi tum...tea? coffee?" Ananya said, "Time" Akash said with a confused expression, "Time?" Ananya kept her hand on Akash's hand and said, "Ji haan, time. Tumhara time...matlab mujhe tumhare saath lunch karna hai...jahan bhi tum chaho." Akash looked at her with open mouth. Akash smiled and asked, "Ananya tum thik ho na? I mean do you even realize kit um kya bol rahi ho?" Ananya stood and in an ordering tone said, "Abhi ke abhi utho mujhe bohot bhuk lag rahi hai...nahi to mere saath lunch karne ke lie jaane waalon ki koi kami nahi hai.. samjhe?" Akash immediately stood up and said, "Haan pata hai mujhe ki meri wi...i mean tumhare kitne saare fan hai...chalo chalen."
Ananya and Akash came out of the office and Akash took her to a nearby restaurant. Akash sat down and then thought of informing her mother. He called her. The convo -
A - Hello! Maa?
N - Haan beta bol? Kya hua?
A - Kuch nahi maa vo bus batana tha ki Ananya mere saath hai.
N - Haan mujhe pata hai...Shaina ne kaha tha ki vo ek file dene gayi hai.
A - Haan maa aur ab hum dono lunch karne aaye hai...to bus inform kar raha tha ki aap uska wait mat karna.
N - (in a surprised tone) Vo tere saath jaane ke lie maan gayi!
A - (in a low tone...so that Ananya doesn't hear) Nahi maa vo khud dhamki dekar mujhe yahan lai hai.
The phone dropped from Natasha's hand but she grabbed it.
N - Kya baat kar raha hai? Beta aate hue use doctor ke pass lekar jaana. OK?
A - Haan jab main kehe raha tha ki use kuch ho gaya hai tab to aap maani nahi...Anyway abhi vo mujhe ghur rahi hai to main baad mein baat karta hun.
N - Haan thik hai...aur sun...(in a teasing voice) Enjoy kario..!
A - (rolled his eyes) Haan thik h... bye.
He disconnected the call. Ananya and Akash ordered their food and while they were waiting for their food, Ananya noticed that Akash was restless. She asked, "Kya hua? Itne bechain kyun ho?" Akash was busy with his own thoughts, so when Ananya asked him he got scared and jumped on his chair. She again asked, "Kya hua? Kaha kho gaye?" Akash replied, "Vo actually, pheli baar kisi larki ke saath bahar aaya hun na to thoda...you know.." Ananya looked at him with shocked expression, "Tum aaj se phele KISI larki ke saath bahar nahi aaye? Don't tell me tumhari koi girlfriend nahi thi?" Akash replied, "Nahi aisa nahi hai...girlfriends to thi par sach kahun to tumhare saath peheli baar aaya hun to ajeeb lag raha hai." Ananya leaned on the table and said, "Dont worry kha nahi jaungi tumhe." She sat back and continued, "Vaise ek personal question puchun?" Akash looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Kya puchna hai?" Ananya smiled and asked in a teasing tone, "Aaj tak kabhi kisi ko kiss kia hai?" Akash smiled and said, "Main jaanta tha kit um aisa hi kuch puchogi. Vaise...nahi kiss to nahi kia par haan ek larki ne mujhe gaal par kiss kia hua hai...kaafi baar." Ananya looked at him with wide eyes and said, "KAAFI BAAR...kon thi ye?" Akash replied, "Actually when I was in 2nd year of MBA, tab ek thi...Sarika naam tha uska...use main bohot pasand tha but we weren't in a relationship...vo meri friend thi and jab bhi main use milta tha tab vo kar deti thi...maine use ek do baari mana bhi kia but then i thought ki chodo.." Ananya in an angry tone taunted him, "Haan haan tumhe bhi maza aa raha hoga na...after all tum saare larke hote to ek jaise hi ho na." Akash just smiled in return. By that time their food arrived and they continued with their talk. Ananya asked Akash about his past, his friends etc. Then Akash and Ananya left the hotel and Ananya returned home.
After a few days, someone arrived at their home and Akash grew really happy to see them. Actually it was her old friend, Sarika. Ananya came down and Akash introduced her, "Ananya ye Sarika hai...I told you about her na?" Ananya immediately said in an angry voice, "Acha vo jo tumhe baat baat par kiss karti reheti thi?" Akash was about to say something when Sarika grabbed his hand and stood really close to him and kissed him again on his cheek. Actually she didn't know about Akash's marriage because Akash was not able to invite her as she had gone to London after her MBA. She thought that Ananya must be some office employ. She said, "Haan main vahi hun. Vaise Akash tum na phele se bhi zyaada hot ho gaye ho...You know i still have a crush on you." Saying this, she again kissed him. Akash was just so embarrassed to speak. He was just looking down. Ananya grew really angry to see this. She said in a rude voice, "Dekhiye, aapke pehele ki jo baat thi vo thi but ab ye sab na Karen to acha hoga." Sarika grew angry and said, "Oh hello Miss...Akash mera friend hai...main uske jo chahun karun...it's none of your business." She looked at Akash and continued, "Akash dekho na tumhari employ mujhse kaise baat kar rahi hai...ise kuch kehete kyun nahi?" Akash looked at her and in a low voice said, "Ye meri employ nahi balki..." Sarika cut him and asked Ananya, "Tum hi bata do na...kaun ho tum?" Ananya smiled and said, "Main? Main Ananya..." She came forward and continued, "Mrs. Ananya Salluja." Sarika immediately threw Akash's hand and stood far away from him and said, "Oh I am very sorry...vo actually, mujhe nahi pata tha ki Akash ne...anyway Akash, i will see you later...bye." Without even waiting for Akash's reply, she left the house. Akash and all other family members were still in a shocked state because Ananya, for the first time referred herself as Akash's wife. Ananya looked around and saw everybody looking at her with wide eyes. She asked, "What?" Everybody quickly looked somewhere else and left. Ananya too went to her rom. Akash stood there for some time and went to his room. He entered and found Ananya arranging the clothes. He came forward and was about to say something when Ananya said, "Mujhe koi baat nahi karni hai...tumhari jhaansi ki raani ka mood bohot kharaab hai." Akash in a confused state asked her, "MERI?" Ananya asked, "Kyun nahi hai tumhari? Anyway main bata deti hun tumhe...ye harkaatein nahi chlengi...mujhe nahi pasand koi tumhare paas aaye." Akash thought of pulling her leg and said, "Yaar ye to koi baat nahi hoti...itni to pyaari hai vo...tum khud to paas aati nahi ho upar se auron ko aane nahi deti." Saying this sat down on bed. Ananya looked at him for a few seconds and then she came towards him. Akash just looked at her with wide eyes. Ananya continuously came towards him and then slowly she started leaning over Akash. Akash slowly lied down on with Ananya over him. Slowly Ananya came closer and was about to touch his lips when she changed her direction and moved towards his cheek and kissed on it. And then she said, "Aa gayi paas...ab bolo?" Akash looked at her lovingly and then smiled and said in a teasing voice, "Itne mein mera kya hoga." Saying this, he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer. Ananya said, "Sabar rakhlo Mr. Husband...kal tak to itna Sharma rahe the aur aaj hi ye haal?" Akash rolled over her and said, "Are ek baar permission dekar to dekho...phir dekhna asli besharmi.." Ananya was surprised to see this. She said, "Mujhe nahi pata tha kit um aisi baatein bhi kar sakte ho...hamesha to sharif se banker rehete ho?" Akash smiled and slowly removed her hair from her face and said, "Sharif to tab tak hun na jab tak tum permission na do..." Ananya then asked him, "Aur agar main tumhe kabhi permission na dun to?" Akash looked into her eyes and said, "To koi baat nahi...main aise hi reh lunga...bus tum mujhe chod kar mat jaana." Ananya noticed tears in Akash's eyes. She said, "Jaungi Akash...tumhe chod kar to jaana hi padega." Akash grew pale. Ananya continued, "Nahi jaungi to nahaungi kaise?" Saying this, she threw Akash and ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
Akash was sitting on the bed and was feeling really happy. He was amazed to see that finally Ananya accepted him.
