Once upon a time, In the dream land of fairies, a princess lived without wings.. Her dreams were infinite but the top most was to have wings.. She thought wings are the key to live all other infinite dreams she have... Once, giggling and tumbling along she was following her path when a cute red colored cotton ball came flying over.. She stopped, blinked her eyes with surprise.. The cotton ball which looked so soft and air light, had wings.. They were the most powerful super speedy wings she had ever come across.. She was still observing this cute little red cotton ball fly when it giggled at her and winked... "Hawww!!!" She jumped with joy before running after it.. The ball was super speedy, took away all her breath, power and energy.. She felt like if she would continue running, this would take her all life but that cotton ball was so attractive that she just doesn't want to give up!
"Huhhh!!!" She fall down on her knees atlast.. She was not giving up but she has lost it.. "Ohhh.. Aww" The cotton ball sniffed not liking the fact that the beauty following her giggling, playing along has fallen down.. Flappering its small super cute wings, it came back to her and floated around her face to see her expressions.. The princess looked upon the cotton ball and smiled.. She slowly forward her hand and tried to touch it with her index finger thats when it popped and her finger pricked and a drop of blood came out of it.. Her eyes got shut with the intensity of pain and when she opened them again tears started flowing down her cheeks.. The cotton ball which looked so soft had got a thorn inside.. The princess heart got filled with sadness, the way she never felt before; she was bitten by the love bug!

"Jisse mohabbat hai usse apnana nahi chahte... Usse pass bhi nahi rakha aur door bhi jane nahi diya! Zindagii mein agay kese badho gay?"
"Zindagii ka usool hai wo calculation se nahi chalti.. Aur yeh pyaar mohabbat mujhe samajh nahi ati.."
"To kya tum kabhi kisi k nahi hoge? Kya tum usse bhi kisi ka nahi hone doge?"
"Usse kisi bandhan mein nahi baandha maine.. wo azaad hai! bandha hua main hun!! Meri nazar nahi uthti kisi aur ki taraf.."
"Lekin tumhara dill to saaf hai.. Jiski tum par nazar hai, usse to mauqa do.."
"Maine kaha.. mujhe yeh sab baatein samajh nahi ati..."
"Ek mohabat aisi bhi hai jo har doosri mohabbat se ajeeb hai!! Yeh rishte ki mohar lagne pe qudrat ki taraf se peda hojati hai.. Yeh pati patni k beech he janam leyti hai!! Aur waqt k saath parwaan charhti chali jaati hai.. Buss.. Dill ka saaf hona zaroori hai.."
"Heehh!! Divorces k baare mein kya khayal hai?"
"Maine kaha.. dill saaf hona chahiye! Yeh shart hai!"
"Aur main bhi shart laga sakta hun... yeh kitaabi baatein hain!! Mere dill jiska hona tha ho chuka hai!!"
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Armaan!! Kya hua?"
"Main shart haar gaya!!!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Phirr?? Aur kya hua??"
"Ajj shart haarne se bhi bura hua... Ajj khud ko bhi usske agay haar agay!!"
"To kya ajj wo kitaabi baatein sach hogayi??"
"Ek ek lafz ne haqeeqat ka roop le liya!!"
"Mujhe aisa lag raha hai.. Jese ajj se pehle maine yeh ehsaas kabhi mehsoos kiya he nahi.. Meri nazrein uss par se nahi hatt rahi thi! Main usske siwa kisi aur ko dekh nahi sakta tha.. Kisi aur k baare mein soch nahi sakta tha!! Jese ussne wo salihiyat he cheen li thi ussne mujhse.."
"Aur kya tumne apne dill ki dhadkan mehsoos ki thi?"
"Haan!! Wo bus ussi ka ho ke rehna chahta hai!! Wo... wo sirf ussi k liye dharakna chahta hai!"
"Aur wo jo pehli mohabbat thi.. Usska kya hua?"
"Wo wohin hai.. Lekin uski chahat nahi hai!!"
"To kya wahan dill ko sukoon agaya??"
"Agaya!!"
"Aur yahan?"
"Yahan toofaan agaya hai!! Sukoon barbaad hogaya hai!!"
"Ab kya karoge?"
"Ab??... Pata nahi.. kya karna chahiye?"
"Usse Apna bana leyna chahiye.. Apne itne kareeb ane dena chahiye, jitna kabhi koi nahi aya!!"
.
.
.
.
"Armaan!!"
"Huh??"
"Apni ankhein bund karo..."
Her captivating almond shaped hooded eyes, they were looking at him the way no one ever did.. They were spell bounding!! They had expectations in them, deep expectations! Usually when he see more expectations from him than he could actually agree on by himself, he runs away!
He asked his heart if he wana back out. Those expectations could ruin her, but no answer came, his thumb caressed the high points of her cheek. Shy, she looked away which reminded him of the exact same moment near the waterfall.. "She is all mine!" He told himself gathering all what he have for her inside him and held her hand before she could step away with nervousness..
She moaned out with pleasure as the rim of his mouth caressed down the side of her long neck pushing all her hairs a side.. The tip of his fingers played a toxic melody ever, around her bare waist speeding up her heartbeats.. She can feel him touching every inch of her body, it was like he exactly knew where to do what to get the perfect response from her.. He felt like a magician to her and she a puppet dancing over his tunes.. The more gentle and slow he was treating, the more she felt he was churning her, weakening her, bringing her to death.. He was simply torturing her now by not consummating and only playing along and that to an extent which she just cannot handle anymore...He again kissed down her jawline and this time she just couldn't take more and... Her eyes opened up.. "Huhhhahhh!!" She took a deep breath as if she has just returned from a death tour..
Her heartbeats were loud enough to be heard, she was shivering like hell and he was not around anywhere her.. How can he be? He just left for Canada few hours ago and here she was in their room all alone in the dark only surrounded by his fragrance and belongings and nothing else..
"What the helll..." Pushing the comforter away furiously, she got out of the bed, ran inside the wardrobe and sat down at the corner as if trying to hide herself from even the air.. This was Shilpa Armaan Mallik bearing the side effects of the incomplete moment her husband gave her before leaving... She can swear she felt each of that thing as if his ghost was there to claim her, make love to her..
She was completely a fresher to all these feelings, emotions and was now struggling with them.. It took her a good half an hour to calm down herself, bring her heartbeat and breath to normal
As soon as she got better, she felt her throat completely dry.. She drank some water and headed towards the bathroom and relaxed her remaining hormonal damage under the cold shower..
...
He was in the plane with his head tilted at the window looking outside where it was all dark at the moment.. The night lights were on and everybody except him was sound asleep near him.. Yes! He was loosing his mind officially!! This is what happens when a control freak looses control and is stopped halfway.. It would not be a wrong if he would say that she provoked him and then made him go crazy..
She did the same with those innocent eyes of her in that hotel room aswell.. She was the dangerous girl he has ever met!! And heyy!! She is his wife now!!
Leaving home for the first time wasn't mattering at all instead leaving her for the first time was driving him nuts and crazy.. "And wow!!! Kitni pyaari jagah haina yeh?? mind divert karne ki!!!" He gritted his teeth looking around... He was cursing himself inside as he can't even go out for some fresh air only if he knew that fresh air won't help this time.. He was feeling really uncomfortable sitting at a place where he was surrounded by people and just can't move or roam around...She has access to everything he wants right now to divert his mind but nothing was helping her and so nothing is going to help him too except for her being physically present beside him.. He was mad at himself for loosing control! This was too early, too soon..

It was sunday! Everyone was home but... Not Mr.Husband. what Shilpa thought before which was a reality too that she was more close and frank with his family rather than him due to office and other events that have taken place behind him.. But today, today was the day when that thought or theory whatever it was went out of the window... He was not around and whole place feels like strange and new to her.. So, what was he?? a protective sheild? a mate? a partner? room partner?? WHAT??
Everyone at home was infact troubling her... She was now feeling really uncomfortable and surely Today was the day she felt like her first day in sasural. "Arghh Insaan pagal ho jaye naa!!!" Shilpa gritted her teeth talking herself through the mirror.. She just had a conversation on call with Anjali where Anjali teased her.. "Awww.. pati k jaane k ghum mein room mein bund hogayi ho tum?? A ke dekhun mein khilkhilate chehre pe kitni oass padi hai?" After shutting down the phone Shilpa realised that she don't want to showcase anything like what Anjali said.. And so, she has go stay down, busy herself andd act very normal..
...
"Oye!! nahi kar naa!!!" Rahul frowned as Rohail passed by giving a hit on his head.. "Nahi jude ga yeh.. its a waste of time.. naya khareed le.." Rohail sang in the air..
"Chup!! bada aya naya khareed le.." Rahul shooed him and got back on what he was doing.. He was repairing his broken playstation..
"Nahi jude gaa.." Rohail tapped the table to create a tune..
"Tere pass aur koi kaam nahi hai?? Chalo.. ja k apni mangetar ko check maaro.. koi na koi naya karnama to ab tak kar he diya hoga.." Rahul commented with his eyes engrossed in his playstation..
"I wonder ussne bhai k liye iss baar kya surprise rakha hoga??" Rohail smirked giving it a thought..
"Hehh!! shehad ki makkhi he paalna baki reh gaya hai ab!!" Rahul commented and then started laughing along with Rohail.. "Hahahaha!! seriously.." They both were still laughing when Shilpa knocked the door and came inside.. "Kyun hass rahe ho paglon ki tarah tum donow??" She frowned and Asked..
"Hum soch rahe hain tumhare pati k liye bhabhi #2 ne kya naya surprise rakha hoga!!" Rahul chuckled..
"Surprise??" Confused, Shilpa asked..
"Ek baari wapas gaya to kutta uchal k uska welcome kiya.. doosri baari wo squirrel... ab yeh teesri baari kya hoga!! we r wondering!!" Rohail explained..
"Oh!! Bukhar chala gaya usska??" Shilpa asked sitting down near Rohail..
"Bukhar?? Wo kab hua?" Rohail raised his brow..
"Ummm ek hafta to hogaya i think.." Shilpa gave it a mental thought.. "Phone aya tha Piya bhabhi ka.. dawa kahan rakhi hai poochne k liye.." She filled him in..
"Coorg ka bukhar ab araha hoga.. Badi khilkhila rahi thi naa!! River rafting under rain!!!" Rahul commented making a face.. He was jealous because rain never happened after that and he couldn't enjoy what she did..
"Jalkukra!!" Rohail kicked Rahul on his back making Shilpa giggle at the gesture..
Gritting his teeth, Rahul turned his face back and eyed Rohail.. "Aise kya dekh rahe ho?? Humne bhi to maze kiye thai.." Rohail added..
"Haan!! jiske beech mein phone agaya tha k Nidhi tunn hogayi hai!!" Rahul spoke out sarcastically...
"Hahahaha!!! Wo bhi scene tha!!" Shilpa laughed..
"Scene?? maha scene tha!!" Rohail laughed.. "Haan!! aur uske baad se scene he ho rahe thai.." Rahul made a face..
"Tum kyun chirre hue ho itne?" Shilpa narrowed her eyes at Rahul..
"Yeh.. apke pati dev!!" He pointed towards his PS.. "Unka ek kaam nahi kiya to torr k chale gaye!! itne maharaja hain!!!" Rahul stretched his lips and answered..
"Hehehhh.." Shilpa couldn't stop but laugh with her mouth closed..
"Compensation bhi kiya..." Rohail commented only to tease Rohail..
"Kiya naa!! Bhae tumhari shaadi badi beneficial sabit hui hai!!!" Rahul turned to Shilpa after Rohail.. "Yeh dekho.. tufail mein mere pass bhi perfumes ki dukaan lag gayi hai!!" He pointed on his table where alot of perfumes bottles were present..
Her mood cheered up a bit just by sitting and listening to Rahul and Rohail... They talk crazy and nonsense and don't leave a chance to pull eachothers leg.. It started aching in Shilpa's stomach when Rahul's PS didn't got fixed and he brought Rohail's one in his room saying "Tujhe entertainment ki kami ho to Aliya se baat kar liyo.." These two guys were too hilarious to handle..
...
Rahul was in the kitchen to drink some water when he heard Annanya and Tanya talking.. Annanya was saying that she thought she would ask Shilpa to make a sweet dish today since it is Sunday and everybody is home but now Armaan is not here and so let it be..
"Jab usska mann hoga kisi din to keh dijye gaa.. bana legi kuch!" Tanya supported Annanya's thought and then thinking something smiled.. "Kya hua?" Annanya questioned looking at her smile..
"Main soch rahi thi.. Jab Rohail ki shaadi hogi... To yeh sab rasamein nahi ho paengii.." Tanya shared..
"Haan!! wo to shuru se hee.." Annanya smiled and nodded...
"Keh dein! shuru se he train kar k rakha hai app logon ne.. Taubah!! ghar ka chappa chappa jaanti hai!! insaan kuch chupa k nahi rakh sakta!!" Rahul gritted his teeth... Aliya has badly taken advantage of him in this whole wedding fiasco.. There wasn't a single place he could hide stuff he don't want Aliya to eat..
"Khair... Shilpa! i mean... Bhabhi... " He corrected.. "Ek to yeh bhabhi ajeeb sa word hogaya hai!! Donow ki shaklein dekh k mere mu pe nahi charhta!!" He made a face..
"Adat ki baat hai sab.." Tanya passed him a plastic smile..
"Whatever... to main keh raha tha.. k wo kuch banae iske liye bhai ka yahan hona compulsory kyun hai bhae??" He asked..
"Kyunki wo uska pati hai!! Pehli baar wo kuch banae to usske mu ko bhi lagna chahiye naa.." Annanya replied..
"Usske mu ko sab lag chuka hai app kiska wait kar rahi hai?? Australia mein zara bhi mehmaan ki tarah treat nahi kiya ussne kisi ko.. Shilpa! Nikki! Anjali! Sab ne khana banaya hai... Nidhi to padhai k naam pe chutti pe chali gayi thi.." Rahul revealed...
...
"Meetha!! Meethe mein kya banaoon??" Shilpa pouted pacing around in her room.. She wanted to kill Rahul right now who was infront for putting her in this situation.. "Main cake bake karun??" Shilpa gave it a thought.. "Nahi..." She rejected her idea and dialled Padma..
"Hehehe!! to pareshaan kyun ho rahi ho?" Padma smiled and asked.. "Annanya se pooch lo.." She adviced..
"Poocha tha naa.. unhun ne kaha jo tumhari marzi ho!! Mummma!! mujhse nahi banti na dhung se kheer weer.. Aur yahan parson he bani thi.." She whined..
"Ummm.." Padma too started thinking.. "Koi halwa ata nahi tumhe.." Padma scolded her..
"Bhae app daantein nahi mujhe iss waqt!!! mujhe bataen mein kya karun??" She pouted..
"Tum cake he bake karlo.. Aur nahi hoga tumse kuch iss waqt..." Padma suggested.. She knew Shilpa was only perfect with cakes and nothing traditional..
Atlast, a chocolate pineapple cake was made and presented at the dinner table!! Shilpa had all that drama serial moments inside her.. She was nervous doubting her own skills and was taken back by a huge surprise when her cake was not just appreciated but eaten well by everyone.. Dadi, Billy and Tanya even gave her some money as appreciation and the two monkeys did what they do best!! Eat! Tease and Comment!!
"Yeh dekho!! Blueberry Cheese cake k ilaawa yeh bhi banati hai!!!" Rohail clicked the picture and whatsapped Armaan..

It was Shilpa's first working day after marriage and she was now in some new trauma!! She was standing infront of that mirror since an hour unable to decide her look.. "Yeh over lagay gaa?? haaan!!!" She stormed her foot against the floor and sat down on the bed in anger.. She never imagined it would be too hard to be tagged as Armaan Mallik's wife..
Little change which marriage brought in Shilpa's look was the newly pierced nose, light mehndi which was still on her hands, sindoor, mangalsutr and bangles.. Usually its just a watch and bracelet she wears but hear she wears those four bangles Armaan gifted her on wedding night. Two in each hand. Her dresses were all sarees and suits which sometimes irritates her all through the day especially the dupatta..
She saw Rahul passing by her room.. "Rahul!!!" She got up and ran towards the door to stop him.. "Hmmm?" Rahul stopped and acknowledged..
"Wo..." She couldn't ask.. "Kab tak nikalte ho tum log?" She made up stuff..
"Ek ghante mein.." Rahul casually replied while checking his phone and went ahead..
"Hmm ahhaha..mummmaaa!!" Shilpa cribbed like a small child and atlast dialled her saviour!!! "Mussskaaannn!!!" She almost yelled out on the phone..
"Chillla kyun rahi ho?? kya pehna hai tumne?? pic bhejo!!" Muskaan, who was already getting late for her work said and ran down stairs to have her breakfast..
Few seconds later, she received Shilpa's picture in which she was dressed in some serial bahu attire... "Ahmmm haha!!" Muskaan spilled her coffee out seeing her and then typed.. "I thought jiju pushed you to join again because... he wants no relaxation on his name!!"
"So??" She got Shilpa's message..
"So.. yeh k phir maharani ban k jaane ko kisne kaha hai?? normal dress up karo jesa yahan karti thi.. Wahan kya tashan maarne ja rahi ho?" Muskaan typed back and continued with her breakfast...
"Hmmm... baat to sahi hai!!" Shilpa gave it a thought and felt actually Muskaan was saying right! If Armaan would have been here, he would have said the same.. "Par main kya pehnu?? Mere pass koi jeans kurti wagera yahan hai he nahi.." Shilpa typed back again.. "Koi simple sa suit pehn lo.. jiss pe kaam na ho!! Bola tha ghar k kapro ki shopping dekh lo lekin nahi!!! Ab bhugto.." Muskaan typed back..
"Arghhh!!! Time tha mere pass?? 😡" Shilpa typed along with an angry face..
"To yahan se kapre le jaane mein kya masla araha tha!! Sab naya pehnna tha naa tumhe.. ab pehno!!" Muskaan too made a stubborn reply after sitting in the car for her work..
Struggling between choosing her dresses, Shilpa luckily found a kurti and jeans with them.. "Hawww... Ye kese agayi?" She jumped up with joy and quickly changed in them.. She did her normal makeup, put on watch in one hand and a bracelet in other... Her wedding chain was as it is there a light stroke of Sindoor which would probably hide under her hairs.. She again clicked a picture, typed "Ab theek hai?" and quickly sending it ran down before she would get late..
...
"Huh!!" Shilpa's jaw dropped down when a paratha was kept infront of her to eat along with glass of juice as mendatory and rest were optional.. Her usual style was to have a mug of tea with either bread butter or some biscuits.. Thats it!!
Thinking how will she eat this much? she looked others who were not having parathas for sure.. Rahul had fried eggs, Rohail was eating an apple, Billy and Arjun were engrossed in newspapers along with juice or tea.. "To yeh saari zyaadti mere saath he kyun??" Shilpa mumbled but how to argue.. There was no Padma to argue with..
Slowly and steady she started eating and still was only able to eat half.. "Arre.. jaldi khatam karo.. jaana nahi hai office??" Dadi asked who was observing Shilpa since long.. "Main so jaoongi Office mein ek aur bhi bite liye to.." She innocently complaint like a small child making everybody at the dining table laugh.. "Arre.. to pehle bata deti naa k tum nahi kha sakti itna.." Tanya spoke out shaking her head..
"Yeh sab itne ajeeb kyun hain yaar?? bura he nahi maante kisi cheez kaa!! Meri khud ki dadi ne to kal se le k ab tak vavela macha dena tha!!" Shilpa sighed and thought.. Done with breakfast, she ran up to collect her things and just when she was putting everything in her bag, she took her mobile in her hands to see what Muskaan said but instead her mind just blew away with what she saw...
She was in so much hurry that she didn't saw.. Armaan whatsapped her that he had reached and she sent him her photo asking for the opinion... "Theek hai!!🤔 Lekin zara kurtiyun k saath dupatta ya stole leyne seekh lijye.." It was his message... "Sss" She atleast hit her head 5 times,.. She automatically became red like a tomato!!
"Chalein?" Shilpa heard Rohail and quickly turned around not wanting him to see that blush on her face..
With her hand bag, she was hurriedly going down when collided with Tnays on teh stair.. "Arre araam se.. train nahi chooti ja rahi tumhari.." Tanya commented..
"Oh.. sorry!!" Shilpa apologized while correcting her sandle.. "Itni heels mein itni tezi se utrao gi to girr jaogi.."Tanya smiled at her.. "Mujhe laga main late ho gayi.." She bit her lower lip..
"Koi late nahi hui.. araam se!! Aur dekho.. jaldi mein tumne apna stole bhi nahi liya!!" Tanya pointed out shaking her head and climbed upstairs leaving her on the spot.. "Stole???" A frown appeared on Shilpa's face.. what was wrong with her dress that everyone wants to take her a stole OR.. Was dupatta mendatory in this house?? NOOO!!! She hates it!!!
"Chalo bhae.." Rahul looked up at him from down and said.. "Haan!!" She nodded and got down.. There was no stole or dupatta with this dress plus it was not time to think over it and so she ignored and left..

Rahul Rohail infront and she at back... It was a laughing riot!! She never knew how hilariously Abhi, Billy and Arjun were discussed in the car regarding office works.. "Ajj bhi beti ne raat mein ro ro k sone nahi diya hoga... Saari khunnus hum pe nikaale gaa!! "Neendein poori kar k agaye office!! araam araam se aya karo bhae!! In time to kabhi mat pohunchna.." Rahul mimicked..
"Phir hum kahenge.. 9 to abhi baja hai.. Tum pehle kyun agaye thai bhae?" Rohail smirked..
"Phir wo bole ga... Dimagh kharab hogaya tha mera... Isiliye!!" Rahul again mimicked and the three started laughing...
Soon, they reached office.. Shilpa was about to leave for her work area when she saw a furious Abhi approaching them.. "Neendein poori kar k agaye office!! araam araam se aya karo bhae!! In time to kabhi mat pohunchna.." Abhi scowled..
"Lekin.. 9 to abhi baja hai.. Tum pehle aye meri ghalti hai?" Rahul shrugged his shoulders..
"Dimagh kharab hogaya tha mera!! isliye!!" She frowned and almost dumped a file in Rohail's hand.. Dekh lo aur sir peeto phir apna!!" He made a face and walked away..
"Ahmmm..." Shilpa covered her mouth trying hard not to laugh but the situation for her was too too funny!! They both were so so true about Abhi..
...
"Shilpa Armaan Mallik!! Back to office.. thats weird!!" Anjali was the only one who could voice her comment or else everyone else just watched her in complete surprise and passed those meaningful smiles shilpa hated the most.. It makes her feel so awkward..
"When you get a husband like that... Everything thats weird is actually not weird!!" Shilpa replied and sat down..
"OOOww abhi he jhagra shuru hogaya!!" Anjali teased her..
"Well.. Jhagra to shaadi ki raat bhi hogaya tha!!" Shilpa retorted the same way Anjali asked but her answer popped Anjali's eyes out..
"Kya???" She became shocked..
"Uhmmm.. not the serious one.." Shilpa glared at Anjali looking around..
"Ohhh!!" Anjali calmed down.. "Darr lagta hai naa... koi bharosa thodi hai tum donow kaa.." Anjali twitched her lips..
"Abhi ka mood bohat kharab hai.. aur mujhe sunne ka koi shawk nahi hai.." It was Shilpa's way to say stop talking and get back to work..
...
"Hmmm... To passport Visa ka issue hai!! But isn't this why court marriage was done?" Anjali raised her brow.. They both were seated together in the cafeteria during lunch time and talking..
"Time donow soorton mein lagna tha! Wo nahi karte to zyaada lagta.. filhaal kum lagay gaa.." Shilpa explained taking a sip of her juice..
"Hmmm..." Anjali nodded in a yes.. "So?? How is it going?" She asked with a smile on her face..
"Usual buttt..." Shilpa took a paused and breathed.. "Usske jaane k baad lag raha hoga thoda.." Anjali bit her lower lip.. She wasn't teasing but geniunly saying..
"Haan... thoda to.." Shilpa hesitantly agreed..
"Hehe.. hota hai!!" Anjali took a bite of her sandwich and nodded..
They both were talking and Shilpa's phone ring caught her attention and seeing Muskaan's name flashing she picked it up.. After the specific talk for which Muskaan called for, they started talking general.. "Oye!! Look set hogaya tha tumhara?" Muskaan asked..
"Shut Up!! Don't even ask.." Shilpa huffed..
"Kya bhae?? kya hogaya??" Confused, Muskaan asked and when Shilpa told her the whole thing she burst out laughing along with Anjali who just heard the one sided conversation...
"Hahahaha!!! Jiju ko bhej diya!!!" Muskaan laughed..."He heh hhehe.."
"Shut Up!!!" Shilpa scowled.. "Pata hai kitna embarassing laga mujhe.."
"Aye lo.. kal to unhi se poocho gii kya? kyun? kesa? abhi embarassing lag raha hai!!" Muskaan shook her head.. "Acha mere sir pe kaam agaya hai ab.. main rakhti hun!!" Seeing a college standing on her head she put the phone down...
"Hahahahaha!!! Armaan ko bhej diya!!" Anjali laughed more..
"Haan! tum bhi mazak uraa lo.." Shilpa made a face..
"To kaha kya ussne?? Romantic to nahi ho sakta!! Itni jaldi agar yeh shaks improve kar gaya to phir kya he kehne.." Anjali put her guess forward...
"Bola naa.. dupatta ya stole leyna seekh lo kurtiyun k saath!!!🤢 "Shilpa twitched her lips.. "And i hate these... tumhe pata hai mujhse bardaasht nahi hote.. kitni mushkil se leyte hun main dupatte.." She shook her head..
"O O O.. Madam pause!!" Anjali tried to put a break on Shilpa.. "Ek baat bata dun main.. Maine jitna bhi iss family ko jaana hai.. ya Armaan ko jaana hai.. I mean just my analysis.. They are very concerned what you need to hide and what you don't.." Anjali spoke out.. "Wo iss cheez ko kabhi support nahi karega!! Tumhe he change hona padega!!" Anjali tried to make her understand..
"Kya matlab hai?? meri apni koi choice nahi hogi??" Shilpa forwned..
"Dekho.. choice woice ka mujhe nahi pata!! Infact main tumhe shayad koi sahi analysis bhi nahi de paoon.. Lekin wo tumhe khulli choot to kabhi nahi dega k tum jo chahe pehno.. Zara bhi in appropriate ussko laga.. wo wohin pakar le ga!!" Anjali warned.. "Joint family system is not a peice of cake walk!! Aur wo to palla barha hai aise system mein.. usske values aur ethics different hain!! Aurrr.. agar tum usse narrow minded bhi kaho.. he will be okay with that!! Lekin tumhe wo... khulli choot to kabhi nahi dega iss maamle mein.." Anjali kept the reality forward..
...
After lunch, all started working again but Shilpa's mind was stuck.. She was trying hard to recall a single moment where she can pin point or present an example as her side of argument in this case.. She highlighted Armaan and women around him only to put a cross on each one after another..
They were fashionable, up to dated but never revealing or inviting!!
"Hmmm... Lekin jab main pehn k comfortable hun sab k saamne to phir... kya problem hai?" Shilpa wasn't just ready to accept.. She was terming this as restriction and she turning stubborn again decided to go as per her choice instead of changing her dressing sense for Malliks...

Reaching Canada, he messaged people he usually do of his safe arrival.. Shilpa was an addition to the list and then decided to take a good sleep before starting the day.. It was Night in Canada when day in Mumbai..
After taking a shower and changing, he was much relaxed and tired to think of anything else except for going to sleep.. He lied down on the bed and just closed his eyes when his cell phone blinked.. He checked his mobile and saw Rohail's previous message and picture regarding the cake and then Shilpa's latest photo.. He took no time to understand that she sent him that my mistake and This was either Muskaan or some other girl she was texting to..
Shaking his head, he put the phone down without any reply but then something caught his attention.. The kurti she was wearing was okay! But her front curves were too visible due to that specific design and fitting... There was no chance he was allowing her to step out and put that on a show.. He thought for a while and then typed the message in a way that it won't sound like an order or restriction...
A mental note already popped up in his mind regarding this issue and he thought to work on that later...
...
Armaan Mallik with no friends or family around is never a good thing!! It was his track record that wherever he goes someone is always there.. Atleast Nidhi is always with him and if not, he calls up Rohail and Rahul and the trio take it as their advanture vacation.. Right now, Only one person was wished and missed.. that was the dear wife!
Tera mera rishta hai kaisa
Ik pal doori gawara nahi
He watched her lower the fan of her thick lashes infront of the mirror and started brushing them with the mascara stick in her one hand.. Her other eye trembled to see if all is going correct or not..
He felt her breath gather and stop when he stood behind her without a noise.. Slowly, she turned around flapping her long think fan of black lashes and looked at him lost..
Tere liye har roz hai jeete
Tujh ko diya mera waqt sabhi
He found himself getting lost in her eyes, her big hooded almond shaped eyes.. He held her hand and stepped back only to make her step forward towards him.. He pulled her hand to a 45 degree direction and she turned to hit her back against his hard core chest..
He smelled her fragrance while dropping a kiss over her shoulder after pushing the neck line of her dress a bit away..
Koi lamha mera na ho tere bina
Har saans pe naam teraaa...aaa
H twirled her and them let her fall in his arms, her heaving chest exposed to his view allured him to rise with passion.. Her grip around his neck got loose on feeling the sensation of his finger near her cheek, brushing the strand of her hairs away..
His hands slided down around her waist only to make her stop breath and fall to her pleasure all by him.. The feeling was intoxicating..
Kyunki tum hi ho
Ab tum hi ho
He kissed her deep, with passion, with desire, with pure love!! His hands traced her face going down to her waist only to pull her more closer..
Zindagi ab tum hi ho ooo
Only if he knew holding someone special makes you feel that good! He would have married her the day he first met her..
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
He took a deep breath to come out from the open eye morning dream he was having while getting dressed for the office.. He can swear he felt her so near, his uneven breath can vouch for that! He was officially going mad!!
...
"Why are people so crazy over chocolates??" Shilpa received a picture from Armaan along with a question.. He was in some chocolate mall where ladies were sitting down and havning chocolate in different ways..
"Aww.. i so love it!!! Mujhe bhi khaani hai.." A very immediate and geniun reaction came out from Shilpa..
"Yeah Right! Another crazy fan i see.." He typed back with a huffing emo..
"To?? khud to wahan beth k enjoy kar rahe hain app.." She made a face and typed..
"Phufff!! I am not enjoying! though i love the aroma!!" He smirked and typed back..
"Achaw!! Then what are you doing there??" She pouted and typed..
"Hot chocolate!!" He chuckled and typed and then attached a picture of it.
"Huh!!!" Shilpa's jaw dropped down.. He was tempting her too much now.. It wasn't any typical hot chocolate.. It was the thick melted chocolate in his cup which made her mouth go watery all atonce..
"You are purposely tempting me.. 🥱" She made a face and typed..
"About what?" He smirked and typed after which he got no reply from her.. Her head was burried under her pillow, she was blushing red and flashes of that night's actual moment and dreams were popping in inside her again..
Her phone started ringing and her heart sank.. She knew this can be no one else other than him at his hour.. "Arghhh!!" She hide her face in her palms shaking her head in left and right.. "Nahiii..." She jumped up when it didn't stopped ringing..
"Ufff..." She atlast picked up the call and tried to change her voice to a sleepy one.. "Hello??"
"Achi koshish hai! par tum so nahi rahi thi.." He laughed..
"Acha.. phir main kya kar rahi thi?" She said what came in her mouth and then regretted instantly..
silence..
He was waiting biting her tongue and her fingers crossed.. She would actually slap herself if he would answer it..
"Hehh.. So jao!!" He said after taking his time and laughing and before she could react, ended the call..
Aankhon mein ankhen teri
Bahoon mein baahein teri
A frowing line appeared on her forehead, she was sitting infront of him trying to fix her bracelet.. Her open hairs were disturbing her, she was irritated, they were coming in her way of fixing her bracelet..
He smiled running his palm over her eyes making them close down and relax.. He took her hand in his and brought her out from the sitting.. He removed her hairs to a side making her open her eyes and look at him with a smile approaching on her lips before she hide herself in his chest..
Mera na mujh mein kuch raha
hua kya
Parting out from his embrace, she smiled as he brushed a soft rose against her nose sheepishly.. She took it away from his hand and ran only to make him come forward and catch her..
He tried, she flew away.. She climbed up the bed and his raised his brows asking her to come down..
Baaton mein baatein teri
Raatein saugatein teri
Carrying her in his arms, he placed her gently on the bed and leaned over.. His hand went behind her head and opened the clutch to let her hair free and open.. "Khule baalon mein zyaada achi lagti ho!" He whispered out making her smile and then dissappeared..
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya
She looked around only to find it all empty and she dreaming with open eyes.. In his room filled with his belongings and fragrance.. He was missed terribly!!
Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
He looked up from one of his files.. "Done as desired!" She giggled taking over the credits of decorating his cabin the way he wanted.. He smiled shaking his head and hold the thought of seeing a doctor to fix him before he turn into a laughing buddha.. He was seeing her, imagining her almost everywhere..
He very often gets lost in imagining what it would be like if she will be around? What would she say? How will she reach.. She was just all over him..
Tumse hi tumse hi
...
One of the flaws of being the only daughter of a rich business tycoons was not to repeat the same dress more than 7 times and everything you buy, should be branded unless the thing you want desperately is not available in any brand and you have to go for local..
Shilpa recently shopped for her new office dresses, there was no way she was wearing the dresses she used to wear before marriage.. Marriage means everything should be new for her.. New Life! New Stuff!!
The bad thing which spoiled her mood was that Annanya got along with her.. That not wearing stole thing she did even after Tanya corrected her, pissed off the ladies in the house.. They didn't liked their daughter-in-law go outside without covering herself properly..
No one said anything to Shilpa considering it to be a mistake or that she is new and just a girl but that doesn't mean they were letting it go easily.. They all belong from the same society and do know how it goes..
Colors and styles were choosen by Shilpa but Annanya scanned their appropriateness and made sure nothing wronge is purchased to be worn for the office.. Annanya was smartly handling Shilpa just like she would handle her own daughter or handles Aliya in the name of daughter.. She didn't even gave a hint to Shilpa what is actually happening with her but then Shilpa got pissed off when few things were bought out of the brand and was told to her that repeatition of dresses doesn't make you any low.
"Urghh... Acha tamasha hai!!" She huffed lying down on the bed.. "Wo itna acha tha!! Mujhe leyna tha.. nahi leyne diya!!" Shilpa gritted her teeth.. She was not used to any interfearence.. She do go out with Muskaan, Padma or Tara but only buys what she likes.. She takes opinions but decides on her own...
Her thoughts over fashion were like any today's girl who don't have to care about money and have no restriction on her.. She too admires Hollywood and Bollywood.. She too wants to be size zero, wants to look good and fit all the time, wear what is in Anddd... She wants that all without any hardwork.
On the other hand, Malliks were a bit different. They do belong from the same society as Malhotras but they had their own core values.. They do believe to move along with the world but not on the cost of their code of Ethics.. Just because everyone drinks alot and smokes and wera tight revealing dresses, doesn't mean they have to do it.. They had general restrictions over every family memeber of the house and no one is allowed to cross that line..
Shilpa was choosen because when she spoke, she was soft and attitudeless.. She was always seen in appropriate attire and even after how awful her dadi acts like.. But she was also a reason for choosing Shilpa.. She was the one who makes Malhotras look like sanskaari and tameez tehzeeb wale..
Now, How would Malliks know what goes behind the traditional Dadi's back and how dresses were choosen according to events and type of guests and how is the real girl internally.. These things only comes out when you start living together..
With little, what Armaan's dadi have observed about Shilpa is that she is raw and a molding one.. If she is taken care of tenderly and shown the right path with love, she will come along.

One of the sharp skills of Aliya were that she was too good in convincing people and giving presentations.. Rohail might be harsh on her on the times when she used to work with him but he taught her alot.. He sharpen those skills of Aliya.. As per him she talks nonsense all the time infront of him.. Better if she start talking sense infront of crowd...
There was some prince of somewhere who was willing to invest in a project with Aliya's company.. This was a great mount of deal and the company just couldn't afford to loose it.. After a heated argument and discussion for few days, the company finally decided to opt Aliya for the job.. She was beautiful, convincing and had the art of twisting and turning her own sayings in the time of need to help herself.. Past record of Aliya was also excellent and the way she handled work on skype when she was on vacation was also appreciatable.. It was altogether another thing that sometimes it was Sid, sometimes Rohail, sometimes Vikas doing it for her.. She was also good at blackmailing.. 😉
So, Aliya was the choice and when she got to know about it, she felt honoured.. "Thats an acheivement!!" Vikas appreciated her whole heartedly and boosted her confidence to go more... Aliya being Aliya, received the prince along with his bodyguards from the AirPort, She bluntly showed herself feeling disgusted to the Prince for the way his bodyguards look at everyone suspiciously..
In short, the Prince was completely handled by Aliya and was touched with her professionalism and generosity.. She was beautiful, found giggling and chirping around with her other office mates.. She was always found well dressed and flawless.. Bad Fate! The Prince lost his heart to Aliya...🤪
Any normal guy would ask a girl out, get to know her and then propose but he was a prince! Young, handsome and smart.. What he preferred to do was just to propose.. To him cultural, religion differences don't matter...
"You really like the girl! Don't you??" He smilingly asked his mom to whome he just sent her picture.. "She is beautiful!!" Prince's mama got gaga over it... Her son for once has stepped out of his business boundaries and has fallen in love with a girl.. The girl is beautiful and attractive and educated! What else would she wish for?😛
...
The more Armaan spent time without Shilpa and any distraction, the more she drove him crazy... Phone felt like a useless thing!! She sounds so moody on the phone and he is also like what to talk?? She called him to inform i have asked Mom and i am going to my parents's house for few days... Then further they talked what each one of them ate? how did the day went and tata bye bye!!
Romance just cannot bloom on the phone although, a little flirting helped!
The real inside story was that when they talk and hung up!! The burning desires of that incomplete night starts to kick in.. Shilpa had a way more bad experience than Armaan that night when he left and so she was more caution about that... Those dreams were turning horiffic..
On the other hand, Mr. Armaan Mallik started working more over his control! Control was all he had and he just cannot afford to loose it so soon and let her spiral his world around for a while and then throw him in some junkyard..
It was finally the day he landed back in Mauritius without letting anyone know and straight away took a cab to be back in the mad house...
Piya was just done tucking Aadi to bed and was now thinking what to do next.. There is a thing that happened with her and Vikas also.. And that was that the whole building where they had their appartment was going for renovation and rewiring due to the incident of high voltage that took place when they were in India.. Residents were asked to move somewhere else for a good time being...
A normal person would have gave a thought about it but the rapport people in MadHouse share, there was no chance of Vikas thinking anything.. He sold the big furniture and stuff and completely moved to mad House..
"Khana to raat mein banoongi.. Abhi kuch shake pee leyti hun!! mama se baat karti hun!!!" Piya planned her next hour for the day and moved down in the kitchen to prepare a smoothie for herself.. After Wedding, Aliya and She was at diet and according to Vikas he was bearing the consiquences of these two going on diet although he was the actual one who needs to shed some kilos out..
She was just cutting the fruits when the sound of door unlocking and then jack's bark, Mini's meow made her allert.. The pets were sounding too excited.. She climbed upstairs quickly only to find Armaan walking along with his bags.. "You Are Back!!" She exclaimed...👏
After Few Minutes.. They both were sitting at the kitchen baar with a glass of juice on the slab.. "Ufff lagi padi hai!!" Armaan shighed rubbing his head..
"Heheh Only if may i ask.." Piya teased him..
"Don't!" Strict and blank, he looked at her..
"Okay!!!" Piya bit her lower lip smilingly..
She kept looking at him until he sighed again and put his head down on the slab.. "Hahahaha!!!" Atlast, she started laughing...
"Hass kya rahi ho??" He frowned..
"Hass nahi rahi hun... i am surprised..." Piya pressed her lips together.. " I thought.. Mr Control freak is a hard nut to crack!! Shilpa k skills ki daad deni padegi phir.." There was no chance piya was leaving him..
"What rubbish... Kya control freak and hard nut to crack??? bakwaas!!" He frowned.. He was not understanding what she was talking about.. "And i am stressed about the new position i have got.." He cleared..
"The Husband one or..." Piya rolled her mouth to an 'O'
"Shut Up!!" He glared at her..
"Well... I disliked a guy!!" Piya started as if telling a story.. "Phir he became my friend! He was weird.. Ladkiyun ko attention dena was not his thing except for one!! To zahir hai.. mere mann mein sawal thai.. maine bohat observe kiya!! sawal aur barh gaye... Baar baar sochti rahi.. kyun nahi! kyun nahi! Aur phir kahin kisi ne koi story sunai k pahaaron pe mile thai!!" She paused and looked for him a second to which he just shook his head and drank his juice..
"Phir i was like.. Jisse mile thai!! Usske saath rehte hue bhi kadam na barhana, kuch zahir na hone dena, usse kisi aur ko soomp dena!! Iss bande ne to apne control ko bhi control kiya hai!!! Aur yeh bohat zyaada mushkil hai!!!" She ended her story and kept smiling at him...
"Well..." He started in the same way.. "Jab itna kareeb hoke bhi kadam nahi barhaya to koi thos aur bohat thos wajah hogii.. And besides the fact that it freaks me out that you know so much... Thank you for that day and reality check!!" He smiled back at her and rested his back against the slab..
"Phir bhi... Sahi mainow mein dill tootne k baad usse kisi aur ko dena!! Time lagta hai.." She said as a matter of fact..
"Yeh to tum bhi jaanti ho k aisa kuch hota to sagai tak kabhi baat nahi pohunchti.." He too kept a fact forward..
"Hehh.. You think you are too smart!! You are Dumb at this.." Piya rolled her eyes and slammed her thoughts at him..
"Excuse me??" He arched his one brow..
"Tumne usske saath bohat zyaati ki hai Armaan!! Na usse apnaya!! Na kisi ka hone diya.. Tumne ussko kass k pakar k rakha tha.." Piya scolded him..
"If you are forgetting... i played the cupid!" He frowned on the allegation she was putting on him..
"Tum ek ladki k emotions poori tarah se kabhi nahi samajh sakte.. And she was tired of waiting! She had to belong to someone!! Isliye ye tumhari meherbani nahi thi.. Usski choice thi!! You broke her twice.. Tum ladkon ko kabhi in cheezon ka ehsaas hota he nahi hai.." Piya shook her head in dissappointment..
"Piya!!! It was ME.. Not Her!! Wo mere pyaar mein nahi padi hui thi.." Armaan's voice turned cold..
"If you are a control freak!! She is a bloody good actress.. Just because tum donow k motto same tha k we don't wana loose this friendship the way it is.. You guys survived!!" Piya clapped.. She was totally sarcastic..
"Tumhara dimagh kharab ho gaya hai.." He got up from his seat...
"Yehi problem hai!! Tum yeh sach face he nahi karna chahte.. How do you think she would have felt jab tumne ussko kass k pakre rakha aur khud NA NA karte Shilpa ki taraf barh gaye.. And if this was not enough, Tum Sid ko khud uski life mein le aye!!" Piya stood up and slamming the fact came infront of him..
"Jesa tumhe uss din uski Sid k saath shaadi hote dekh k feel hua!! Ussne isse kai zyaada do baar feel kiya hai!! You are a jerk at this.." Piya was straight but not fighting..
"Ab in sab baaton ka kya matlab hai??" He became officially angry..
"In sab baaton ka yeh matlab hai.. k wo friendship gayi appki!! Ab app ussko bhool jaiye.. Shilpa is different! Issliye ab nayi musibat jhelne ko tayyar ho jao.." Piya shot a mysterious look at him..
"And what is that supposed to mean??" He gritted his teeth..
"Hmm.. let me guess.." Piya took the glass of her juice and relaxed down on the sofa.. It was Armaan's time to get curious and keep the conversation on..
"What???" He glared at her..
"Well.. wahan reh k bohat kuch discover kiya hai maine.. jese real Shilpa is something u haven't seen.. neither expected!!" Piya smirked..
"Tum karna kya chah rahi ho??" He was totally confused..
"Batana chah rahi hun k ready ho jao!! Kyunki jitna main tumhe jaanti hun!! Life will be hell without that so called friend! Anddd... With that i am nothing you expect like Wife!!" She smiled winking at him.. "Its no more a cakewalk Armaan!!" He tone turned strict...
"Okay!!! Agar tumhara Vikas se jhagra hua hai.. to ussko mujhpe nikalne ki zaroorat nahi hai.. Ussi se ja k jhagro.." Armaan was not getting why the hell she even started all this with him..
"Mera koi jhagra nahi hua!! Sunana to maine tumhe wohin mumbai mein tha!! Par mujhe mauqa nahi milaa!!!" Piya gritted her teeth and stood up again..
"Oh well then, Good Luck!! Kyunki main sunne k mood mein nahi hun!! That chapter is over.." He raised his voice and warned her to stop..
"Hehh.. It has just started Mr. Armaan Mallik!!" She smiled sarcastically and said.. "Aur main dushman nahi hun tumhari.. Isiliye bata rahi hun k its not gona be eay now! Get prepared!!" Piya looked in his eyes and said.. Her voice turned firm now..
"Wahan reh k aur bardaasht kar kar k tumhara dimagh actually kharab hogaya hai!! Ab Vikas pe to tum nikalne se rahi.. Isliye ab mujhpe nikaal rahi ho!!" He narrowed his eyes at her..
"Topic change mat karo Armaan!!!" Piya officially turned angry...
"Yes!! This is it!! Wahan meri wajah se tumhe extension rehna parr gaya naa.. Ussi ka badla nikaal rahi ho.." He emphasised!!
"I Almost lost my marriage aur bacha to kho he diya maine!! Ajj bhi.. mujhe un logon pe zara bhi bharosa nahi k kab problem create kar dein!!! Infact, Vikas tedha nahi hota... To tumhari shaadi k baad uski aur tumhari dosti rehni he nahi thi!!!" More anger gushed into Piya.. "Aur tumhe.. koi aur nahi mila tha?? Wohi ghar mila tha shaadi karne ko???"
"Mujhe nahi rehna hai yahan!!!" Piya yelled out.. All her bottled up anger was ready to flow out..
"Piya!!" He tried to calm her down.. "Will you mind telling me mujhe dekhte he tumhare andar kiski aatma ghuss gayi hai??"
"Wahan ja k sab kharab hogaya!!!!" Piya shouted.. "Aur ab mujhe tum pe double triple gussa araha hai yeh janne k baad k tumne Shilpa ko Nidhi k oppar choose kiya hai!!!" She hit him on his shoulder.. "Tumhari matt maari gayi thi.. ya tumhari akal ne kaam karna bund kar diya tha!!" She gritted her teeth.. She was on fire and yelling out whatever was coming in her mouth..
"Oh Yeah!! When i asked for help who was the one to tell me k.. ussko fresh chance do.. Mere background pe mat judge karo.." He yelled back at her..
"To Analyse theek se karna tha naa!!" She glared at him..
"Arghh.." Armaan held his head.. "Dekho!! Hum kal subha baat karenge.. jab tak tumhara dimagh bilkul theek ho jayega!!" He sighed..
"Yeah Right!!" Piya stormed and moved inside the kitchen.. She and Armaan shared that bond that they can just yell at eachother without caring much about what they are saying and that was only because of the fact that they fight and move on without taking anything on their hearts..
"Uhhhmm... " He finished his left over drink and instantly cooled down.. It was not his ego issue or fight, it was hers and so there was no need of him to stay angry..
Few Minutes Later..
"Acha naa.. kyun faaltu mein apna khoon jala rahi ho?" When she didn't came out of the kitchen for long, he stepped for a patchup... He was in no mood of any fight..
"Baap re.. Piya!! Please yaar!!" He saw her arying and said..
"Wahan ja k mujhe andaza hua k mere liye yeh sab mushkil se zyaada mushkil hogaya hai!!!" She sniffed.. "Pehla bacha aur wo bhi apki poori chahat se ho!! Wo feeling he alag hoti hai.. i agree miss hota hai!! Lekin tum bhi jaante ho k mere time pe wajah stress thi!!!" More tears came in her eyes.. "Main vikas aur Aadi ko ajj khelte hue dekhti hun!! Main kabhi nahi bhool sakti k yeh sab meri zindagii mein nahi hota agar uss din main chali jaati!!!"
"Main Vikas ko kho deti... Sirf unki wajah se.." She wiped away her tears..
"Lekin gayi to nahi naa.." He rubbed her shoulder lightly..
"Haan.. tumpe jo nikal diya tha saara gussa.." She huffed making him smile... "Ajj bhi yehi kiya hai.." He threw some attitude.. "Lekin mujhe wajah samajh nahi ayi.." he added..
"Ab unhun ne Vikas ko request offer whatever u call it.. kiya hai.. k yahan ka sab windup hone k baad hum permanantly jab move karen to wahan move karen!!!" Piya gritted her teeth..
"Ouch!!" Came out of Armaan's mouth.. If she was angry because of this and had taken out all her anger on him because of that Then, It was worth!!
After Piya's miscarriage, fights over nonsense started between Vikas Piya more and more.. And onw day when he left in anger, she too was shaking in anger.. She decided to leave him and go assuming he blames for that family abandoning him and the loss of their child and no more care about her.. She packed her bags, and was about to rush out when the phone buzzed and She heard Armaan's voice.. He was leaving a message for Vikas to call him back.. In anger she picked that call and lashed out on Armaan saying bata dena apne dost ko and bla bla bla... She shut the phone down before even Armaan could react...
She then cried and cried sitting down on the floor which lighted her heavy heart and pushed her to sleep.. After waking up, she was back in her sensing and pictures hanging on the wall of her and Vikas questioned her if she is ready to loose what was so good and special... She even regretted saying all that to Armaan and called him back hesitantly..
Things quickly changed around from there when Armaan instead of putting her to guilt or speaking some nonsense, actually turned out to be sensible and mature enough to handle the situation... He tried to coverup Vikas infront of her and even gave her some comfort when she said that she is scared that he has left..
Great thing that won her heart was that Armaan never said a single thing about that to Vikas and it became Armaan Piya thing!! They got bonded over that where he helped her just being a friend.. The relationship was fully not repaired until Armaan and Nidhi came to NewYork.. They wer fun to be around and did the magic of showing the exit door to that awkward silence between Vikas Piya and slowly things turned awesome!! Vikas and Piya came out even stronger as a couple!! Atleast they both were convinced that now nothing can break them!
"Aurrr..." Armaan tried to ask furthur..
"Maine unki baatein sunn li thi.. Vikas nahi kaha mujhse kuch abhi.." She made a face..
"You seriously think he'll do something like that to you??" Armaan arched his brow at her..
"Mujhe kya pata?? Tumhari biwi k through mood badal jaye to.." She again hit him on his shoulder..
"Bhej do mujhe dobara hospital!!" He taunted her..
"Itna to mujhe bhi pata hai k doosre kaandhe pe lagi hai!!" She was in no mood to get tricked..
"Bhae dekho.. Agar tumhe Shilpa ki wajah se yeh darr peda hua hai.. to bhool jao!! Uska to poora transformation hona hai!! Itna to mujhe bhi pata hai k jiss state of mind k saath wo hai!! Usske saath poori life main nahi guzar sakta!!" He stated as a matter of fact...

"I don't know why am i feeling so hungry today?" Aliya cribbed to a female co worker while working on her computer.. "And why is everybody behaving so weird today??" She frowned.. She has noticed that whoever is passing by, is passing her a meaningful smile which she was hating..
"They are not!! just happy for you!!" Nina chuckled..
"Happy for me??" Aliya raised her brow..
"I mean yeah!! You almost got us the project, The prince is in love with you!! He will be proposing you today!! so, yeah!!" She shrugged her shoulder bringing the hell out of Aliya...
"WHAT???" Aliya jumped up...
"Ooo i was not supposed to say this..." Nina covered her mouth with her palm..
"Shut Up!!! WTH?? And for your kind information!! I am already engaged!!!" Aliya gritted her teeth pointing at her engagement ring on her finger..
"Huh???" Nina's jaw dropped down.. Next, Aliya being Aliya was about to march out and teach everyone a good lesson when Nina grabbed her hand and pulled her down... "What do you think you are doing? You can't do that.." Nina tried to stop her..
"Have you lost it?" Aliya glared at her...
"Shhh.. listen to me.." Nina tried to bring her volume down.. "First! He is a prince.. you have any idea what that means?... he gets what he wants... Second!! You are responsible for this project.. If he leaves, you will suffer legal issues!!!" Nina knocked some sense into Aliya..
"Huh!!" Now it striked Aliya.. She was actually in a mess...
"Andd.. do you know he has restricted everyone not to use canteen today!! He has decorated the whole place himself just to propose you!!!" Nina whispered more and Aliya lost her heart beat... She felt the world has started to spin around her and she will faint soon..
She started shivering in no time and immediately got up from her place.. She ran inside the washroom and tears flooded out of her eyes.. one by one thoughts started striking in.. What will everybody say? Rohail, her parents.. People will only point fingers at her that she has encouraged that stupid prince.. More and more dangerous thoughts started coming in making her scared and nervous and guilty... Her phone buzzed and it was Vikas's msg... "Lunch karen saath? i m just two minutes away from your place.." It was nothing.. Vikas and Aliya do this everytime one of them has a mood to eat out or something specific in lunch..
"Haan..." She quickly typed with her shivering thumb and taking a minute to compose herself, ran out.. Grabbing her things, she told Nina to inform others that she is not feeling well and just can't stay.. She ran out from the main area away from everyones eyes and stopped right on her tracks in the midway of corridoor infront of the canteen...
The place was filled with white, silver and golden balloons as if this is a floating balloon house.. That idiot Prince in white was standing in the middle checking everything out... Aliya came into her senses when her eyes traced the ring box in his hands.. He was showing his back to Aliya and she took a step to run but collided with Vikas.. "Wow!! yeh kya hai??" Vikas was astonished to see such an arrangement..
"K..kuch nahi.. chalein yahan se.." She stumbled and ran.. "Huh!! isko kya hua??" Vikas frowned but before leaving didn't forgot to capture such an arrangement.. It was the moment the prince turned and his face got captured too...
...
"Kya???" Vikas put on breaks immediately when Aliya narrated him the whole thing... She was actually not in a good state.. "Maine kuch nahi kiya hai... i swear i didn't do anything!!!" She started crying trying to explain herself that she did nothing to encourage him...
"Main kyun karungi aisa?? Main bohat pyaar karti hun Rohail se.. Main??" She held her head and started crying more...
"Aliya!!!" Vikas held her by her shoulders... "Kis ne kaha hai tumse k tumne kuch kiya hai?? You have done nothing okay!!!" He looked in her eyes and said.. "Khabardaar jo ab khud ko blame kiya to.." He said in a strict tone..
"Tumhe bata dena chahiye tha k tum engaged ho!! bal k shaadi shudaa ho!!" He scolded her..
"Agar yeh project meri wajah se gaya..." She couldn't say more and Vikas understood.. "Mera repo, mera career sab jayega!!! Aur shayad iski itni fikar bhi nahi hai.. lekin... Wo itna bada aadmi hai wo.." She started crying again and Vikas held his head in his palm taking his time to think what to do.. For him this was funny until Aliya's condition started getting bad and then worse..
"Acha suno... Hum ghar jaenge!! Tum so.. Aur is guilt se bahar ao k tumne kuch kiya hai!! hmmm and then we'll see.." Vikas tried hard to comfort her and then drove back home.. By the time they have reached, Aliya's hiccups and sniffs stopped but her eyes and nose were still red...
The entered home and wallah!! Armaan was there.. "Huh..." She grabbed Vikas's arm tight and tried to hide behind him.. Armaan looked like a monster to her at the moment who will scold her like anything... She was so so scared..
"Tum agaye!" Vikas said in a way that it felt so fake...
"Main to agaya! Par tumhe kya hua??" Confused, Armaan asked... "Annddd Aliya??" He sensed she was trying to hide from him..
"Wo... Aliya ki tabeat theek nahi hai.. bukhar bukhar sa feel ho raha hai... so.." Vikas tried to coverup for her.. "Tumm... jao!! chnage karo dawa khao aur so jao.." Vikas said to Aliya after which she ran like she was in some race...
"Arre.. khana kha k dawa khana!! Armaan k chakkar mein bana liya maine.. phir ab lunch he kar leyte hain!!" Piya said..
"NN nahi!! mujhe bhook nahi hai.." Aliya said..
"Huh??" Piya was confused too...
"Aaa.. aadi ko dekh kar ata hun main!!! Aur tum lagao khana.. ussko bhi le kar ata hun!!" Vikas kept it short and excused like a formal guests or something...
"What was that??" Armaan questioned looking up at the stairs...
"I Have... No idea!!" Piya too wondered..
More like 2 minutes passed by when the bell rang and Armaan walked to answer it.. "WTH??" His jaw dropped down as so many balloon and flowers were handed over as a parcel on Aliya's name...
"Kya isski baraat arahi hai??" Armaan questioned Piya who was too surprised...
"Get Well Soon!!" Piya read the card.. The balloons and flowers were so much that they could decorate the whole mad house like a wedding house with them... "Yeh kya hai???" Armaan was getting nothing...
...
"Main keh raha hun naa kuch nahi hoga!! Normal raho, khana khao, dawa khao aur so jao!!" Vikas scolded Aliya this time and brought her down only to see the main hall filled with bouquets and balloon and Piya and Armaan standing near them with questioning eyes..
"Huh..." Annddd Aliya fainted at last... "Oye!! Aliya!!!" Vikas shreiked catching her before she fell on the floor.. She in no time turned cold as ice... Armaan and Piya too panicked with her condition.. They rubbed her hands, patted her with warm water strips, covered her with blanket until some warmness formed in her...
"Excuse me??" Armaan just couldn't believe what he heard from Vikas.. "I don't believe this..." Piya was too shocked to react... "Aur wo blame kiye ja rahi hai khud ko uss waqt se.. Do ghante to mujhe issko normalise karne mein lagay thai ghar laane se pehle.." Vikas revealed more and then kept every expect forward... He too was hell worried now and when he showed Armaan and Piya what that Prince did for proposing Aliya, They went speechless..
"This is creepy okay!!!" Piya spoke out... "Main ussko dobara check karti hun.. Hospital ki naubat na ajaye.." Piya got up from her place and climbing stairs, moved towards Aliya' room..
Aliya was all covered in blanket, sleeping on the bed.. The three, Mini, Jack and Digit were quietly sitting down her bed where she was facing.. It looked like as if they know situation is tense and they are praying and waiting for her to open her eyes...
"Hehhh..." A smile came on Piya's lips.. Pets do hold a special place for the person who provides them love and care..
"Aliya!!!" Piya softly called out her name and checked... Now she was burning with fever.. "Oh no.." Piya bit her lower lip and pulled the blanket off her..

Five Days Later...
"Haah!! Good to be back home!!" Shilpa chirped as she hit her bed at her parent's house.. She came here for a while to stay.. Smiling, she looked around everything in her room.. So many memories were attached to it..
"Tch!! Yeh kisne kiya?" Shilpa frowned when she found few changes.. "Arghh... Muskaan bhi naa.." She shook her head and got up to undo the changes she thought looked really stupid and not good around..
Satisfied and happy turning the room back to the way it was, she moved down to cuddle with Padma and insist for her favorite dish to eat.. Happily she was talking about her sasural and funny things around.. How she has recently developed this love for gardening and how cool it looks.. She was still telling her stories when a tired Muskaan walked inside after a hectic day of work..
"Agayi maharani ban k.. pata tha k behn ane wali hai.. ajati thoda jaldi!!" Even she didn't took a breath of peace and the great nani of Muskaan started..
"Nani! Bohat kaam tha ajj..." Feeling irritated, Muskaan replied in a low tone..
"Arre kab nahi hota tumhe kaam.. Shilpa bhi to ayi hai office se!! wo to nahi dikhti tumhari tarah.." Nani taunted more..
"Jee!! Uski energy ko match nahi kar sakti main.." Muskaan closed her eyes taking a deep breathe and straight away walked inside the kitchen to have some water... "Ajj kal to ghar bhi ana azaab hai.." She mumbled.. There was no way she was staying down and bearing the crap.. She drank water and moved upstairs to change...
"Ahmmm.." Putting her things on a side, she lied down on the bed and got up to take a shower and change after five minutes... Her face flunk more when she saw the condition of room and realised Shilpa brought everything back in shape like it was before her almost 1 1/2 month marriage.. "Great!!!" Feeling fire inside her, Muskaan couldn't comment more and moved inside the shower to make her mood.. She knew she had to prepare rotis after it aswell..
...
"So.. maine decide kiya k i won't change myself!! Jab main comfortable hun ek cheez ko le kar to phir kyun change karun?" Shilpa was telling her stuff to Muskaan after dinner.. "Mujhe wese bhi dupatte aur stole wagera zyaada deir bardaasht nahi hote.." She made a face..
"Yeah sure!! Shaadi kar k tum wahan thodi gayi ho! wo wahan se aye hain yahan!!" Muskaan rolled her eyes and said.. She was busy working on her laptop and all what shilpa was saying, she wasn't really interested in listening..
"Shaadi ki hai maine... ghulaami qubool nahi ki hai.." Shilpa made a face.. "Aur wese bhi.. wahan sab modern khayalaat k hain!! Dadi ki tarah narrow minded nahi hain jo main dikhawa karti phiroon.." She added..
"Muskaaan!!!" Muskaan closed her eyes when she heard her name again and irritatedly shutting her laptopn down, wore her slippers and walked outside..
"Pata nahi kahan ja rahi hai life.." Tonight, Muskaan was feeling really emotionally weak.. She sat down in the lawn on the swing and putting her legs straight closed her eyes.. Things have started hurting more to her..
After Muskaan's father died, she and her mother were brought here by Shashank and Padma.. Thanks to Nani, her mother was not enough educated to work outside and earn plus.. "Jab bada bhai hai to kya zaroorat hai bahar jaane ki.." Her mother was not even allowed to go outside and work..
Moving inside Malhotra Residence gave Muskaan a loving Mamoo Mami and a sister.. But as the time passed by, she understood what was her actual value and how this will work.. Shashank always brings the same things for Shilpa and Muskaan but apart from that, everything was different..
Muskaan shared the room with Shilpa and her mother always made sure to make Muskaan understand that its her who have moved in not Shilpa and so, its the big heart of Shilpa that she is sharing her room and so Muskaan should not be interfearing and better to enjoy the only space provided to her..
From that day till now, it was called as Shilpa Muskaan room but it was actually Shilpa's room.. Everything was according to her taste.. It even became Muskaan's habit with time not to move any of Shilpa's thing or touch until Shilpa herself had say so.. The little whatever space Muskaan was provided by Shilpa since when they were small, It was still the same..
Nani leaves no chance to make Muskaan understand that its the EHSAAN her mamoo is doing on her and so she should better be in her limits and never demand than her basic needs.. She still remembers that she always gets what other brings for her.. she can never wish and put it forward... Her mother always stops her if acting like a child she sometimes put something in the trolley while monthly grocery shopping..
"Tumhe har kaam ana chahiye.. taake zaroorat parne pe kar sako.. Tumhari maa k bhi yehi kaam aya!!" These were the words which made her learn sewing skills, cook and every household thing Shilpa would think 100 times before doing..
So Muskaan was a laborious, sughar and acha seedha saadha bacha to everyone!! But the real story behind was unknown to almost all.. Following strict rules all her life, Muskaan became used to it.. It all seems normal to her.. She learned to stay happy and chirpy with the things, the way they were..
The real drama started after Shilpa's wedding... Nani was now in a mood to make Muskaan get married too.. Taunts became harsh but this time she was not willing to give up.. She wanted to stand on her own feet, have her own money to buy and spent whatever and however she want..
After Shilpa moved out.. The room was finally the whole for Muskaan and a little she did was to make the changes for her own ease and push the unnecessary aside but what happened today?? Definitly she was again made understand that it will remain the same and there will never be a perfect space for her..
"I Miss you Papa!!" She looked up and say as tears came out of her eyes.. "Pata nhi kyun.. ajj.. bohat zyaada bura lag raha hai!!" She cried and quickly wiped away her tears too.. Muskaan has always listened to Shilpa but have never shared anything of her own with her.. The simple reason was because she can't!! As a child she used to cry to her mother and complain but then her mother tells her stories and smartly handles her and distracts..
"Kya hogaya??" Muskaan shivered when suddenly she felt two hands on her shoulders.. It was Vikram..
"Kuch nahi.." She quickly wiped off her remaining tears and looked away to hide her face..
"Kuch nahi pe to ansoon nahi bahaye jaate.." Vikram smiled and sat down next to her.. "Hhh.. Ajj papa ki bohat yaad arahi hai!! Birthday bhi tha ajj unka.." Muskaan revealed and more tears oozed out of her eyes..
"Huh!!" Vikram's jaw dropped down..
"Hehh.. iss mein uchalne ki koi baat nahi hai.. Kisi aise khaas aadmi ka birthday nahi tha jo sab yaad rakhein.." Now she was sarcastic..
"Muskaan..." Vikram caressed her shoulder lightly..
"I am sorry!!" He said after a while..
"Kis baat k liye?" Muskaan asked looking straight...
"Har roz kuch bhi na bolne k liye.." Vikram felt guilty when they all listen to Nani scolding Muskaan for something or another every other day and stay quiet..
"Hehhh!!! Sirf ek baar he koi bola tha... Ghar se kick out hogaya tha phir wo.." Muskaan reffered to Vikas.. "And i salute him for that!!" She actually meant what she said.. "Aur mujhe humesha afsoos rahe gaa iss baat ka k main tab nahi samjhi.. tamasha enjoy karne walon mein shamil hogayi!! Piya bhabhi ko apne mind mein vamp bana diya!!" She took a deep breath... "Dekhlo.. palat k araha hai ab sab.."
"Aisa nahi hai yaar!! Itna pyaar karte hain tumse sab.. Aur Dadi ki to adat hai.." Vikram tried to comfy her..
"Huh!! Choti thi to samajh nahi ata tha.. ajj ek ek baat yaad ati hai.." Tears again appeared in her eyes.. She was deeply hurt today with best known to her for what reason and whatever she was saying and beyond her control.. "Nani ne to... Papa ko bhi unki maut k liye ilzaam diya hai!! Unke hisaab to... Main maa k haathon ki zanjeer thi!! warna unki dobara shaadi ho sakti thi!! Kuch nahi bhoola mujhe Vikram!!! Ab yaad bhi ata hai aur samajh bhi.." She sniffed..
Vikram didn't knew what to say... When dadi partly stays with them, he hears all about it.. He had heard this million times, he just never had the idea that Muskaan knows that too..
"Khair chodo... Daura parr jaata hai aise kabhi kabhi mujhe!! Theek ho jaoongi subha tak.." She said and got up to go leaving Vikram behind to think about it and grow more guilt inside him..
...
While moving towards her room, Muskaan found Shilpa giggling and laughing along with Shashank in the hall.. Muskaan was usually a part of it but today she was feeling no desire to be with anyone not even her mother!
"Huh!! Ek choti si baat ka batangar banaye bethi hai.. Dupatte se problem hai!! Theek kehte hain! jisse sab mil jaye usse kadar nahi hoti!" Muskaan blabbered while clearing the bed to sleep..
"I wish mujhe jiju jesa koi mila hota.. Main to shayad phir uske liye sab he kuch kar jaati!!" She again sniffed and then moved inside the washroom..

Armaan previously was looking for a distraction and now he was so stressed that he forgot almost everyone who were not a part of this Aliya mess..Aliya was admitted to hospital just after that day.. Her fever wasn't going down.. Dealing with that idiot prince charming was something he was not worried about... It was Aliya and her health..
After spending days in hospital, she came back home and It took a huge amount of affort from the three to comfort her, sooth her and assure her that It was not her fault and so she should stop giving birth to guilt inside her..
When it was informed in her office that she is suffering from high fever and is in hospital, need complete bed rest, flowers and gifts started coming in more and more as each day passed by... Obviously they were by that Prince and All four of them became sure that this man is not only crazy but a really high profile royal..
The only good thing that happened is that Aliya got the news that the deal has been signed... "Lekin mujhe uss gadhe k saamne nahi jaana!! Main nahi jaoongi ab.. i'll resign!!!" She announced at the dinner table..
"Paglon jesi baatein mat karo.." Vikas scolded her..
"Koi chori ki hai tumne jo resign karogi???" Armaan too glared at her..
"Bhae main nahi ja sakti usske saamne... appko nahi samajh arahi hai!!" Aliya was not completely free from stress..
"Ek to mujhe yeh samajh nahi arahi.. k kisi ko kyun nahi pata hai k tum engaged ho???" Armaan asked..
"Tum kya shaadi kar k dimagh wohin chor aye ho??" Piya taunted him.. "Timely basis pe to bahar humare husband wife change ho rahe hote hain!! kese bataye kisi ko koi kuch..." Piya arched her brow..
It was the security measure they set up for the gang.. When they were in NewYork, Once Piya and Nidhi came together to set Armaan with a girl.. Events changed hilariously opposite when that girl showed more interest in Nidhi and Piya instead of Armaan... He couldn't stop laughing and they couldn't be more embarassed or angry than that...
The Gay thing was so so uncomfortable that some ground rules got set which they even followed in Mauritius...
Any girl from the gang who is out with a guy is his wife for others and he is her husband.. Due the that style, Everysingle girl in the house has 3 husbands and every guy 3 wives.. Brother, boyfriend or fiance thing they never introduced because they were not inviting any offer.. Husband and Wife puts a full stop to everything and that is it!!
"To phir tumko khud ko introduce karwana chahiye tha wahan.." Armaan eyed Vikas..
"Mujhe ilhaam hua tha??" Vikas made a face and continued to eat..
...
Inspite of short or general talk but Armaan Shilpa did have it one or the other day, or atleast texting was done but now four days passed by and Armaan didn't even bothered to say a hello! to her.. He was busy struggling with Aliya fiasco which has practically taken away his and Vikas's sleep.. It was PRINCE!!!!
"Kyun tapp rahi ho?? Khud kar lo.." Muskaan suggested.. She was busy with her designs and have watched Shilpa sulking since past few days..
"Kya kar loon??" Shilpa pretented to be normal..
"Uhh.. kuch na karo tum!! Rakho yahan bhi one sided... " She shook her head and continued working..
"Uhh.. " Shilpa made a face and got a hold of a book kept near by just to make sure that people see her reading.. Actually a weird thing happen with her today.. Padma's Birthday was coming soon and so Shilpa decided to shop for a gift for her while returning from the office..
She was shopping when a small girl stumbled upon her feet and splashed all of her juice over a guy.. She apologized and the guy let her go but Shilpa felt like she had seen this guy before somewhere...
Then after sometime she noticed, in which ever shop she goes, this guy also steps in and start searching for items.. This was coincidence or what she don't know but she felt it a bit creepy and quickly buying a perfume for Padma, left the mall and straight away drove back home.. Right now her whole mind was focused on thinking where she had seen him and why he looked so fimiliar..
Shilpa was still her in thoughts when her phone ringed and it was urprisingly Nidhi!! "Hii!!" Nidhi wished..
"Hii.. kesi ho?" Shilpa asked..
"Hmmm achi hun.." Nidhi took a deep breath and then asnwered.. "Tumhe disturb to nahi kiya maine? Actually, favour chahiye tha tumse ek.." Nidhi, who was sitting with a mess around her spoke..
"Nahi nahi.. tum kaho.." Shilpa sat down on the bed and gave her a nodd..
"Wo.. Mera ek purple color ka jewelry set a box tha.. Main dhoond dhoond k thuk gayi hun mujhe yahan mil nahi raha hai... Tum please jis room mein hum thehre thai wahan ja k check karogi?? Wo nahi mila to main Sid ki mom ko kya bolungi?? mujhse kho gaya??" She bit her lower lip..
"Ummm yaar main check kar leyti.. Lekin main yahan papa k ghar ayi hui hun rehne.. So... Sorry!!" Shilpa apologized..
"Oh!! Tch.. Main kisi ki knowledge mein nahi ane dena chahti thi yeh baat.." Nidhi feeling helpless shook her head in stress.. "Khair chalo.. tum please jab ghar jana to check kar k bata dena mujhe.. Akhir gaya kahan!! Mujhe samajh mein nahi araha hai.." Nidhi sighed...
"Haan main check karungi... Agar uss room mein hoga to i am sure mil jayega! Wese bhi wo room tum logon k jaane k baad se bund hai.." Shilpa tried to assure Nidhi...
"Hmmm.." Nidhi nodded in a yes..
"Aur?? Tum log kab wapas ja rahe ho??" Shilpa asked generally...
"Dekho kya plan banta hai... Tumhare passport ne to Canada miss karwa diya tumhara.." Nidhi smiled lightly... Her problem was not with Shilpa! It was with her friend Mr. Armaan Mallik..
"Haan.. hehe.." Shilpa giggled..
"Chalo.. Shopping list se he kaam chalaya hoga.. "Nidhi chuckled..
"Nahii... Armaan ne poocha tha, par.. " Shilpa pressed her lips togtether..
"Abhi utni free nahi ho.. Hesitation hai!" Nidhi completed her sentence..
"Ermmm.. Haan!!" Shilpa was surprised to hear that Nidhi understood her point so well..
"Kitna bhi frank ho insaan.. thodi hesitation hoti hai shuru mein!!" Nidhi pressed her lips together..
"Oh! You too are hesitant??" Shilpa asked while changing her position.. She was in a mood to talk to Nidhi for a while now..
"Main?? Aaa sasural yes! Sid No!!" Nidhi giggled..
"Long time experience haan??" Shilpa too giggled..
"Yeah!!" Nidhi grinned...
"Ummm.. tum free ho to tumse thodi aur baat karun??" Something popped uo inside Shilpa's head and so she was on it...
"Haan.." Nidhi nodded in a yes and keeping her phone on loud speaker, started gathering all the stuff properly she has spread in search of that box..
"aaa I don't know karni chahiye bhi ya nahi.." Shilpa bit her lower lip..
"Marzi tumhari.." Nidhi didn't give a damn about it..
"Lekin... i don't think anyone else is the right person to ask too.." Shilpa had her own delimaas..
"What i can promise you is i won't leak out.." Nidhi gave her word..
"Yaar!! Kuch hua.. Aur phir mujhe Anjali ne kuch aisa kaha jiske baare mein wo sure nahi thi.. And now i am a bit confused.." Shilpa slowly made the background..
"Aisa kya hai??" Nidhi frowned while folding her dresses..
"Tum to Armaan ko bohat pehle se jaanti ho.. do you think he is kind of a guy jo thodaa... narrow minded hai.." Shilpa almost regretted for the last four words..
"Narrow Minded?? Aur wo idiot?? Huh!! iN WHICH WORLD??" Nidhi rolled her eyes..
"Nahi.. i mean..uhmmm.." Shilpa took a deep breath and then narrated the whole thing and her views about it and that she doesn't wana change with that and all the women rights and all...
"Aaa... Do minute mein call karun tumhe?? Mujhe aunty bula rahi hai!!" Nidhi excused and hung up..
"R U OUT OF YOUR MIND???" Muskaan yelled out as soon as Shilpa put the phone down.. "SHE IS LIKE JEEJ'S BEST BUD!! Aur tum ussko yeh sab ja k bol rahi ho!!"
"Relax!! Its no big deal!!" Shilpa carelessly raised her shoulders..
"Yeah! thats why she hung up on you.." Muskaan felt so angry with this thing shilpa did.. First of all what she thought about all of it is just Shilpa's ego issue and nothing...
...
"Seriously!!" Nidhi took a deep breath and gulped down some cold water to sooth herself after hearing all what Shilpa said.. "First!! The Big Malhotra ruined us!! Phir... issne picture mein a ke kabara kiya!! And now when that jerk is finally in love with her, she wants to make him fall out of it and live some stupid compromise whole life..." Nidhi was burning with anger...
"Huhhh.. Okay!! Main iss waqt Armaan ki shakal bhi nahi dekhna chahti but.. i can't just let her ruin it.. Armaan ko pata chal jaye wo to theek thaak class le lega isski.. Dupatta issue!! Like seriously??" Nidhi felt like puling her hairs out..
"Okay!!!" She took a deep breath after a while.. "Now i am gona play a little with you Mrs. Shilpa Armaan Mallik.. Tumhe wo banna padega jo usse tumhare peeche pagal karde!! And you too have to fall madly in love with him and embrace what comes along with it!!" Nidhi took kind of her new oath and dialled Shilpa..
"Haan.. sorry!! Unhe kaam tha mujhse kuch!!" Nidhi apologized..
"Koi baat nahi.." Muskaan had scared Shilpa and now all she wants to know is that she hasn't made a mistake by asking Nidhi..
"Tumhe nahi lagta... tum thoda.. ego issue bana rahi ho isko.." Nidhi asked nervously.. she was now analysing Shilpa..
"Ego issue?? No!! I f i am comfortable in wearing something then why do others have a problem with that?? Main agar ajj change karungi then they'll expect me to change every time.." Shilpa kept her thought straight.. "I am not some behnji type neither i wana be one!!" She added AND Nidhi can visualise Armaan pushing Shilpa in some deep river after that..
"Thupp!!" Muskaan covered her face with her palms..
"Dekho.. Your Husband is kind of a possessive types regarding his belongings.. To ghar walon ko aur baaki sab ko to side pe kardo.. Main tumhe honestly bata rahi hun k Armaan fashon pasand hai! revealing dresses nahi!! Wo tumhe sunaega to tumhe acha nahi lagay gaa.." Nidhi tried to warn..
"So does that mean k ek shaadi mein ladke ki choices ko priority hai!! Ladki ki nahi.." Shilpa asked clear cut..
"Main to ja rahi hoon bahe yahan se.." Muskaan started gathering all her stuff..
"Well!! Ladkon ko dresses k maamle mein yeh advantage hasil hai wo sab ek se hote hain!! We wives can only point out over colors.. Lekin wo kisi aur ladki se kis tarah mile aur baat karen yeh humara concern ban jata hai!!" Nidhi turned very soft.. "To kuch jaiz concerns i think unke bhi hain!!"
"Haan.. but.." Shilpa tried to Argue..
"Dekho.." Nidhi interrupted.. "Main generally ek dost ki tarah sirf advice kar sakti hun.. Agay tumhari marzi!! Armaan k baare mein pehli baat.. He don't wait and expect people to do things for him.. He just value his relationships and for those who care, he'll do anything for them.. Phir wo uske liye kuch karen ya na kare..!"
"Shilpa! Tumhe koi idea he nahi hai k tumhare liye wo kitna jhuka hai.. shayad ajj se 5-6 saal baad ja k tumhe yeh baat samajh mein aye.." Nidhi sighed.. "Thoda sa tum bhi jhuk jao.. Aur phir tum aisa kuch pehn k ya kar k kya karogi jis mein tum usse achi he na lago.. Shayad poori duniya tumhe dekhe par wo nazren pher le?" And Nidhi always knew how to hammer the right spot..
silence...
"Kisi ki adat ka ya zaroorat banna koi badi baat nahi hai.. Badi baat hai kisi ki chahat ban jana!! Kyunki adat ek din choot jati hai... Aur zaroorat khatam ho jati hai!!" Nidhi too got lost and then snapped out of it.. "Aur wese bhi.. Hum sab poori life ek se nahi rehte.. circumstances humay change karte hain!!" Pause "Haan tab humay pata nahi lagta.. Lekin thoda sa change koi saamne se ake maang le to humari ego hurt hojati hai.. Hum chnage nahi hona chahte.." Nidhi knew she was done with her job.. Heavy words always do it.. "Take Care.. And don't worry!! Mere aur tumhare beech ki baat mere aur tumhare beech he rahe gi!!" She smiled and hung up..
"Mere aur tumhare beech ki baat mere aur tumhare beech he rahegi!!" Those words again echoed in Shilpa's ears but in a different voice.. It was Armaan's and she can recall it correctly! He said the same to her several times..
"They are actually quite similar.." Shilpa sighed and put the phone down.. She understood what Nidhi said and now she was finding it quite correct...
Rich Business Man's daughter's role models.. Well those inspirational role models are same for almost all girls.. The actresses and models on screen!! And the new wrong highlight women Empowerment logo.. "Men should be jailed instead of women jailed behind restriction bars.."
But have we given it a thought how this actually works?
We all know we would get tane if we walk under the sun.. So, do we ask sun to go away or we put a sunblock on to avoid it? Those who don't do neither are the ones who don't care..
Yes! Everybody should be in limits and bounded by true and correct values but if they are not then the ones who wana avoid them need to take proper measures.. Do all girls and boys want the same thing? No!! Everyone wants different and find their comfort in different things.. Some are okay to reveal curves and invite eyes in certain manner which they like to be seen in..
And some are comfortable in hiding their treasures and only to be seen under specific eyes.. But are they behnji types?? No!! There is a thing called as fashion aka creativity which you own and even look hawt and stunning without revealing an inch of your skin..
There is no need to go skinny, cut carbs and do what everyone else do... Whats needed is to set your own set of ethics and principals and be in limit instead of turning into a freak..
When you stand infront of a mirror and look at yourself!! Thats where you can judge and find your comfort in.. If you think you need to ASK someone about your looks, definitly there is something wrong and you are not wearing what your inner sould finds comfort in to walk outside..
These things have nothing to do with society since now a days, every other person belongs from a different society.. The Question is, why to follow other just because they look good? Something that suits them doesn't mean will suit you!
Why not to be your own fashion designer and creater? Why not to inspire others instead of being inspired by the ones who are just out of your range and ethical values?
"We should be loved the way we are!!" Everybody supports the line but who loves bad habits? Not even the parents who give birth to us.. Human Beings are messy and cannot be good all the times but then again.. You should also not expect the same from others.. You don't wana change for that special one? Why would that special one will change for you?
The one i want to fall for me.. Will only fall for me when i will become the one he will instantly fall for..

"Workholic People!!🤢" After thinking for hours what Nidhi said and Muskaan's constant taunts, Shilpa messaged Armaan..
"Its called.. Stresses out People!!" He messaged back with a gritting teeth emo..
"Ooo.. I thought mere kaam mere saath ghar nahi jaata!!😛" Shilpa chuckled and sent..
"Yeh ghar ka azaab hai! jo kabhi khatam nahi jata!" The tedha msg from him..
"And i thought i heard mumbai is azaab!!"😆
"Thats the different version of azaab!"🤢
"Anyways.. Whats up?"
"Preparing for bed!"
"Aka the one hour bathroom tour!!"👏
"😵"
"Good Night!!"
...
"Wo jo uss din main tumhe jhaar rahi thi.." Piya said to Armaan while watching T.V
"Pata hai apni bharas nikaal rahi thi.." Armaan replied without even moving his eyes away from the television..
"Haan!! dimagh ghooma hua tha mera!!! Kitne dinow se dhoond rahi thi k koi mile to gala dabaoon usska!!" She gritted her teeth..
"Arre dafa karo yaar!! Tata Bye bye to mumbai!! Ab yahan sukoon se betho.." Armaan raised his shoulders carelessly..
"Sukoon se??" Piya looked at him with widen eyes..
"Yahan lava phatne wala hai??" Vikas who just sat down next to Piya asked after seeing her expressions..
"Tum to chup raho!!" Piya glared at him..
"Arre yaar!! tum kyun unki baaton ko dill pe leyti ho?? dafa karo.." Vikas shook his head..
"Dafa karo?? suna di unhun ne mujhe theek thaak!!" Piya shouted at Vikas..
"Kisne suna di? what am i missing??" Confused, Armaan asked..
"Tumhari dadi saas ne suna di meri biwi ko..k ussne unhe phone nahi kiya!!" Vikas elaborated..
"Aye!! Chup bay! Bada aya dadi saas!!" Armaan made a face over the word Dadi saas.. "Evil Hitlery bolo!! Ek bichari yeh.. zulm ka shikaar!!" Armaan made fun first and then patted piya's cheek..
"Arghh.. hatto tum!!" Piya pushed his hand away..
"Aur ek wo bechari Muskaan!!" Armaan shook his head..
"Muskaan??" Vikas got interested and when Armaan narrated the scene he witnessed when he went for pagphera rasam Vikas became angry.. "Tumhe pata hai? uss bechari ki bachpan se life azaab ki hai inhun ne.." Vikas shook his head in dissappointment..
"O bhai mere... Mujhe nahi sunne aur koi aaltu faaltu kisse!!" Armaan held his hands together infront of Vikas.. "Filhaal my motto is k apni wali ko yahan laoon aur usska dimagh set karun apne hisaab se.." He added..
"Haan!! Aur jab jab rehne jaye.. har baari wapsi pe brain washing!!" Vikas pointed out after which the trio started laughing..
"Masoom si hai bechari!!" Piya commented..
"Really??" Putting his finger in his ear, Armaan shook it to show Piya..
"I mean.. she needs moulding and clear vision and correct path to walk on but.. Apart from that.. achi hai!!" Piya gave her twisted statement..
"Ohhh.." Vikas and Armaan hooted.. They both know Piya's mind keep juggling between good and bad regarding Malhotras.. She can sometimes stand it!! Sometimes not and they okay with that! They know the reaons which were valid.. The good thing was, they all embrace all good and bad about eachother... And they were cool with that!
"Acha mazak ek taraf..." Piya said after looking around for Aliya.. "Yaar seriously kuch socho Aliya k baare mein.. yeh to bund hogayi hai ghar k andar!! recover he nahi kar pa rahi hai.." Piya became serious..
"Aur Ayii.." Vikas patted Armaan's shoulder for attention.. "Rohail ne kya kaha hai ussko aisa jo sab se zyaada ussi se darri hui hai??" He asked with seriousness in his voice..
"Arre.. kya yaad dila diya!" Armaan slapped his head.. "Wo namoona to apni harkaton se baaz he nahi araha hai.. Mujhe pareshaani yeh ho rahi hai k wo convince nahi ho raha kisi bhi tarah.. Wese bhi tedi aur badi cheez hai!! Peeche lagg gaya to bohat masla ho jayega!!" Armaan also turned serious..
"Kya matlab? tum donow to itne araam se bethe thai mujhe laga problem solve hogaya..." Piya's mouth hung up..
"Nahi hua naa!!! Wo bhi pohchi hui cheez hai.. Ussko Aliya se milna hai.." Vikas revealed..
"Yaar ajeeb ho tum log!! Itne araam se bethe hue thai!!" Piya became angry at the two..
"Yeah Right! We need a clear head to think.. Aliya ki tarah depression mein hum chale gaye to hogaya kaam.." Armaan made a face..
"Tum logon k chakkar mein.. usska saara confidence chala jayega!! wese zyaada kuch bacha nahi hai.. baar baar ussko dure parr rahe hain! jab dekho bukhar wapas ajata hai.." She scolded the two for taking it light..
"Clear cut thing! Yeh baat bahar gayi! to Aliya embarass ho jayegi.. abhi ghar se nahi nikal rahi, phir kamre se bhi nahi niklegii.. Aur wo jis tarah se ab Rohail ko avoid kar rahi hai.. This will kick off their relationship.." Vikas stated as a matter of fact..
"Main bhi yehi soch raha tha wese.. I think i should call him!" Armaan sighed.. it was revolving in his head since morning..
"Phone pe nahi!! Sorry!!!" Piya warned.. "Lekin ab mujhe bhi lagta hai k only he needs to come and fix this!" she added...
"Yeh raja maharaja mere control mein bhi nahi araha hai.. How do you think he can fix it? He can surely fix Aliya but not him.." Armaan kept his confusion forward..
"Nahi yaar!! I think partners k baare mein har ek ki approach different hoti hai!! Jo wo soch k kar payega wo main aur tum nahi kar sakte.. Aur mamla isiliye haath mein nahi araha kyunki Aliya darri hui hai! Aur wo maharaja ji saamne a he nahi rahe hain!!" Vikas made a face.. "Sirf yeh phool pawde arahe hain!!" He pointed all over the hall where recently arrived floweres were kept.. Hell! they can't even stop them from coming or throw away since it will make no impact.. Half of the jungle was outside their apartment doors..
...
"Yeh... kesa time pass ka tareeka hai??" Rahul stopped near ArSh room seeing Shilpa sitting on floor with things scattered around her..
"Maine socha.. investigation karun thodi.." Shilpa winked..
"Hehe.. kitne raaz faash hue??" Rahul rubbed his hands together and stepped in.. Shilpa was holding a picture from the old album and trying to guess..
"Oye teri!! Yeh kahan mil gayi tumhe?" Rahul asked as she sat down on the floor next to Shilpa.. "Andar ek joote k dabbe mein thi.." Shilpa revealed..
"Oho!!" Rahul shook his head and then one by one started telling Shilpa who was who.. "Aur yeh??" As they nearly came at the end some new pictures and faces were seen...
"Yeh!!" Rahul took a deep breath and then looked outside if someone is there...
"Yeh Diya hai!!" He took that one year girl picture from Shilpa's hand.. "Chachoo aur Chachi ki beti.. Rohail k baad.. they had Diya!" He pressed his lips together..
"And???" Surprised, Shilpa asked..
"Mujhe aur Rohail ko to infact yaad bhi nahi itna.. Hum bohat chote thai!! Lekin bhai ko yaad hoga.. Usski to practically yeh har cheez pe hamla kiye hoti thi.." Rahul smiled.. "Umm.. i think she was nearly 3 years old, jab chachoo chachi hyderabad gaye thai kisi kaam se.. Isski tabeat bohat kharab hogayi thi aur un dinow halaat bilkul ache nahi thai.. They took her to the hospital, aurrr wahan blast hogaya tha!!" Rahul completed the story..
"Haww.." Shilpa's covered her mouth in horror...
"Yup!! Chachi ko bhi bohat chot ayi thi.. but she was survived!! Lekin Diya andar thi and she didnt.. so this is how it goes.." Rahul exhaled a deep sharp breath...
"Tch tch.. sss bura hua.." Shilpa felt so sorry...
"Haan!! Bohat time laga sab ko recover karne mein.. kyunki ghar ki ek he beti thi!!" Rahul nodded slowly..
"Phirr??" Shilpa inquired further..
"Phir kuch nahi.. ahishta ahista uska zikar kum hogaya!! Life moved on.." Rahul pressed his lips together.. "Aurrr... umm jab yeh sab hua naa?? usske kuch time baad Maasi Aliya ko le k yahan rehne ayi thi kisi wajah se.. Aurrr Aliya!!! She practically replaced Diya!! Sab bohat zyaada attached hogaye usse aur i think chachi ne tabhi soch liya tha!! Issko to.. laana hai iss ghar mein.." Rahul laughed..
"Ohhh long term planning!!" Shilpa laughed too..
"Tch... bohaaat lumbi!!" Rahul chuckled..
"Yeh acha hai! Tum mujhe jhar parwa k yahan agaye.." Rohail found Rahul with Shilpa and came inside shouting at him..
"Main to iss badi bhabhi ko bata raha tha... k wo jo CHOTIII BHABHI ane wali haina?? uska setup bachpan se kese hua tha!!" Rahul smirked..
"Chup bay!!" Rahul smacked on Rahul's shoulder..
"Hahahaha!! but thats cute!!" Shilpa laughed and said..
"Cute nahi!! Junglii!! Wo jo bachpan mein thi naa.. that was pure junglii!!!" Rohail made a face..
"And he is a tarzan thats why he fell for a jungli!!" Rahul commented..
"Hahahahah!!!" Shilpa burst out laughing and Rahul ran outside before Rohail will catch him and beat black and blue..

"Yeh Shilpa ko hua kya hai ajj kal?" Annanya gave it a thought.. There was a time at the start of office when this girl just wants to wera extra fitting dresses and was not liking it when someone from home points out and now she was all covered up and loose with her hairs tied back as if she has no time to waste..
"Nahi.. Mujhe saath le k jao!!" Shilpa shouted at Rohail as he was just heading out.. Shilpa was given Armaan's car keys to drive on her own.. There was no restriction on her driving or anything.. "Arre tum ajana naa khud araam se..." Rohail said.. he was getting late..
"Nahii!! Main bus arahi hun.." She took two biscuits in a hurry and headed out..
"Armaan mein itni akal to honi chahiye k wahan reh k phadde na kare.. ussi ne kuch kaha hoga.." Annanya thought angrily and shook her head..
A creepy thing which started with Shilpa was this new Man!! The same shopping mall man which she was thinking where she has seen him?.. This man looks extremely creapy and gunda types.. He sits all day at a corner tea shop near office and Driving in or out Shilpa finds his eyes fixed on her..
She didn't noticed it until one day when renovation of the road at the front of office, she walked on the back in odd hours to get inside the parking lot and got when one motor cycle came infront of her and stopped.. This was so quick that she became a bit shaky.. He took out his halmet and she recognized him immediately, He looked at Shilpa and then smirking shot him the eyes to come and ride back.. Her eyes widen up with disgust and shock, It was all silent at this hour and when she tried to leave, He passed by her in full speed intentionally and with force touching her back and curves...
She was unable to recover from the shock when two more came on a bike from the back saying.. "Ab humari baari.." She ran!!! She ran like never before in her life..
It took her an hour to to stop crying and settle down inside her car.. She was unable to guess what she did or what happened that this happened with her.. She was petrified!! She was shaking...
With great difficulty, she reached back home and locked herself inside her room for a good amount of time in which she was just trying to be brave, not cry and compose herself..
She didn't told anyone about it.. She became normal after a while but the damage was done.. She was scared that if anyone finds out they mind restrict her from going out.. Family will scold her and blame her because she wasn't dressed properly or something.. What if they will say that she invited him? What will Armaan think??? Oh forget what he will think! How will she even tell him??
She tried driving the next day but the thought of going office and that road, freaked her out.. She made some excuse and took the off!! When Armaan inquired if she is okay or what? She became more scared! She just wasn't able to talk about this with anyone.. She was never been physically harassed before and it was very scary and feels shameful! She got that scared that if any motor cycle passes by her, she starts to shiver..
Gathering all her courage she decided to go to office the next day but not alone.. It has to be with her devars.. She covered herself fully trying to be fully unattractive not knowing what she is doing is right or wrong!! It was all going inside her head, she don't even feel like telling it to Muskaan..
"Yeh tum kya jeej k ghum mein aisi hogayi ho?" Vikram pointed out at the office...
"Bakwaas nahi karo.. jao yahan se.." Shilpa made a face..
"Hua kya hai??" Vikram frowned.. "Kal ghar ayi thi aur phir aise bahan kar k bhaag gayi jese pata nahi kya kar diya hai humne??" Vikram came today with planning.. He wanted to know whats up with her?
Last Night when Shilpa went to her parents house, it scared the hell out of her that, that creap has followed her all way through and is waiting for her outside.. She felt her reputation at stake plus the protected sheild was sitting somewhere in Mauritius..
"Kuch baat hai to batao yaar... " Vikram asked..
"Bhae kuch nahi hai... sab pooche ja rahe hain!!" Shilpa became irritated..
The only good thing that creep did was made Shilpa start the conversation on her own with Armaan every day and these Husband wife actually started talking other than nonsense.. Shockingly, Armaan started feeling Shilpa miracally has turned more serious and sensible where as Shilpa talks and whole time thinks if she should tell Armaan about this.. The fact was that she fears and shivers of telling all this on phone..
Shilpa from the beginning had this thing with Armaan... She can say it all when he is physically present infront of him.. When he is away, the comfort feels lost which bounds them into one..
"Mam! Apko Abhimanyu Sir bula rahe hain! The peon approached her and passed by..
"Main ati hun.."She got up leaving Vikram as it is and went ahead..
"Kya hua?" Shilpa asked as she stepped inside Abhi's office..
"Hum kuch pagal log subha se tumhare pati ko call karne ki koshish kar rahe hain!! Humay to izzat bakshi nahi.. Kya pata tumhe baksh de.." Abhi made a face to which Shilpa smiled and dialled him and gave it to Abhi...
"Lo.. Phone na utha k humay to sirf izzat nahi di ja rahi thi.. Tumhara to kaat k bezzti kar di!!" Abhi chook his head..
"Hahaha!! Dekho.. kismat meri.." Shilpa chuckled..
"Arre jao.. tumhe to yeh bhi nahi kaha ja sakta k nazar rakho!!" Abhi made a face making Shilpa laugh this time..
"Wese... kuch jhagra hua hai kya?" Abhi generally asked..
"Ufff!! Jisko dekho mujhse yehi pooch raha hai.. Mere chehre pe likha hai kya??" She frowned..
"Jee!!" Abhi nodded..
"Kya??" She frowned..
"Kyunki tum kuch change change ho kuch dinow se.. Ya to tum office ana nahi chahti ya kuch aur masla hai.." Abhi kept his observation infront..
"A..ahh..." Shilpa looked away.. "Mera Armaan se koi jhagra nahi hua!!" she cleared.. "Its just that.. Mere hisse ka kaam khatam hogaya hai! And i am feeling bored!!" Shilpa made some talk in the air..
"Chalo.. maan leyta hun!" Abhi smiled and let her go..

She stopped going office, spending time at home felt never good before.. Shilpa discovered the Morning routine of Mallik ladies where they woke up early and do yoga together after which Dadi takes a talk through the whole lawn and pin points, makes mental notes about the plantations.. Whats good and bad!
Annanya and Tanya had their choices either to catch some sleep if they want, watch TV or prepare breakfast or do reading or talking whatever.. Then the men wakeup and Everybody wherever they are gets to know when Rahul and Rohail wake up.. The house is set on fire after that.. Either one of them will freak out the other, then the other will chase the first one and they both will then end up receivng some shouting or scolding from any of the ladies after which they will taunt a little about Armaan and the go to get dressed up for office..
One thing which was kind of a very sweet for Shilpa is that Absent or present! Armaan is always involved in daily talks.. Its not like that he is gone and forgotten and is only discussed on certain issues..
Now the daily routine of Rohail and Rahul involves irritating Shilpa to an extent she can bear.. One of them will talk against Armaan to her and then the other will warn to leak it out to Armaan and again they will get into some banter leaving Shilpa all alone to laugh and leave..
This house was surely full of life unlike her..
"Chachii!!" Rahul huffed seeing the Masala filled bhindi on the dinner table instead of anyother variety... "Matlab wo yahan nahi hai!! aur koi variety nahi ban sakti thi??"
"Haan!! bus wohi shawk se khata hai yeh.. tum mein se to koi shawk se choota bhi nahi hai!!" Tanya rolled her eyes.. "Correction!! Hum kha leyte hain but yeh humara favorite nahi hai!! Yeh uska favorite hai aur wohi app logon ki jaan kha k banwata hai!!" Rahul made a face..
"Kya?? Bhindii??" Rohail too made a face who came for dinner..
"See.. " Rahul shook his head.. "Ab wo to nahi ayega naa khaane.. wo to kha raha hoga!! JO.." Rahul got a little closer to Rohail.. "JUNGLIII Usse bana k khilaye gii!!" He shouted in Rohail's ear..
"Tum to ruko..." Gritting his teeth, Rohail got after Rahul..
"Kyun?? Jungli maine entitle kiya tha??" Rahul brought Shilpa in between and asked.. "Wese pata hai apko chachi!! Ajj jungli ghaass nahi daal rahi apke bete ko!!" He was now dodging Rohail by moving Shilpa here and there in between.. "Bhae tum log apas mein lada karo.." Shilpa tried to get out from between..
"Huh!! jese maine ghaas daali kabhi.." Rohail ate some attitude..
"Arre tumse maangi kab ussne??" Rahul smirked and went beside Tanya who was working hearing the daily banter..
"Pichle kuch dinow se zara bhi apni chai chai nahi sunaiii!!" Rahul danced as Rohail changed his position to put a stop on Rahul's mouth...
"Mom!! Issko bol dein chup ho jaye! pitt jayega yeh.." Rohail frowned..
"Bhae main nahi bolti tum donow ki roz ki bakwaas mein.." Tanya shook her head and went inside the kitchen..
"Aur pata hai!!" Rahul voiced loudly after looking at Rohail's expressions and then went behind Tanya.. "Ajj to khunnus mein ake phone bhi kiya appke bete ne.."
"Urghhh.. hatto Rahul!!" Annanya tried to shoo him away as he came in between her and the door..
"Aur ussne nahi uthaya!! Vikas ne uthaya aur ussne kaha k wo apna phone bhool gayi hai bhai k saath movie dekhne gayi hai!!!" Rohail himself completed the story...
"Aurrr.. isske saath prove hojata hai k sagai karne k baad tumhari adhi akal ghaas charne chali gayi hai!!" Rahul announced coming back to the table where everyone was ready to sit and start dinner..
"Kyun cheekh rahe ho donow??" Billy asked..
"Dad!! Bhai went to a movie!! With Aliya if that makes any sense!!" Rahul chuckled and sat down..
"Kyun?? Ussko ghar pe sone ko nahi mila kya??" Arjun smirked..
"Now that makes any sense to you?? She is ignoring you!!" Rahul hit the final point to Rohail..
"Wo kyun ignore karegi mujhe??" Rohail narrowed his eyes while sitting down on the table..
"I don't know.. Tumhi ne ki hogi bakwaas.. main to karta nahi!!" Rahul raised his shoulders carelessly..
"Oho!! Tumhi ne pakai hogi koi khichdi!! pakka!!" Rohail looked at Rahul suspiciously..
"Chup ho jao yaar tum donow!! Saara waqt chik chik!!" Arjun scolded the two and silenced them.. Well that was what happens everyday and all Shilpa do is enjoy and chuckle..
Next the, next day party came over the discussion table.. Business men and Business parties.. It was kind of a usual thing since a project got completed successfully and some new came on the table, a party was bound to take place on the success..
"Arghh!!!" Rahul , Rohail and Shilpa made the same noise and passed same expressions at the same time.. "Lo.. Tum bhi inki gang mein shamil hogayi?" Billy asked looking at Shilpa..
"Bohat boring hoti hain!!" Shilpa pouted..
"Yeah!! Thanks to your bhagora husband!! Humay attend karni parti hain!!" Rohail made a face and said out loud..
"Hang on.." Shilpa narrowed her eyes at Rohail... "Yeh sunn sunn k mere kaan pakk gaye hain k i am an emplyee.. Main business man nahi hun!! And when he is not a business man, he is not bound to attend such parties so.. taunt him!! Not me.." Shilpa fully fired retorted..
"Lo.. issko bhi charh gaya in logon ka rung!!" Dadi shook her head.. The innocent, Silent Shilpa was long gone by now..
"Haww.. tum bhai ko defend kar rahi ho? Kitni buri baat hai.." Rahul made an O shaped mouth...
"Nahi to kya tumhe defend karegii??? chup chap se khana khao.. Contribution kuch hota nahi hai tum logon ka, bus baatein karwa lo!!" Annanya scolded the two.. For Business party arrangements.. Rahul Rohail bails out for work and only appear as guests of honours..
...
After putting some eyeshadow and liner, she curled her lashes with a lash curler and then applying mascara looked at herself in the big mirror from a distance to see how the whole thing turned out..
"Hmmm... Not bad!" She praised herself and then walked towards the bed where the no of choices were kept all in red and skin combo.. Anarkalis, Sarees, Lehnga saree...
"saree he pehn leyti hoon!" She thought looking at its velvety texture mixed with chifoon net.. "Actually.. jewelry kiske saath achi jayegi?" She moved to pick up her long drop earring, bangles and necklace..
"Arghhh.. Amma nahi banna maine.." She snored, shaking her head in a no.. "Kya karooonnn??" She looked at the clock and then again at the stuff she had taken out..
"Shilpa!!!" She heard the knock on the door.. It was Rohail..
"Hmm kya hua??" She asked loudly..
"Phone bajj raha hai tumhara.." Rohail said..
"Hain? Arre bahar he chor ayi hongi.." She shook her head and opened the door..
"Cut gaya.." He said while handing over her phone to her.. "Aur yeh kya?? Tum tayyar nahi hui?" Surprised, he asked..
"Tch!! Mujhe decide karne mein time lagta hai.." She pouted..
"Jo bhi hai.. jaldi karo!!" He said and turned to leave..
"Suno naa.." She stopped him.. "Mujhe decide karne mein help kar do thodi.." She requested..
"Main??" He passed a weird look to her for a second but then seeing her puppy face moved in.. After all these days, Shilpa had turned out like an irritating, moody but loving sister to them... Atleast till now this was the equation..
"Baap re.. Bhai ne to seedha kar deyna hai tumhe do din mein!!" Rohail commented after looking at the mess on the bed.. "Mujhe yeh pehna hai! But jewelry mein confused hun!!" Shilpa pointed out..
"Yaar tum simple zyaada achi lagti hun!! Yeh sab itna bhari bharkum pehn k kya karogi?? Ab jaldi se tayyar ho ke bahar ao.. chalo!!" He made an easy way out and walked outside..
"Huh!! badi madad ki meri.." Shilpa huffed but then started dressing up..
Tujhme kinaara dikhe,
dil ko sahaara dikhe
Aa meri dhadkan thaam le
"Baal khule rakho.." She smiled remembering his last day with her when she was getting ready for the party.. She took out her curler and gently used on her hairs to curl the ends and then let them loose..
She smiled looking at him as he pushed down two bangles on her wrist and then forward his hand towards her to which she gave a questioning look and he just smiled blinking his eyes to a have trust...
He took her to the dresser and locked her wedding chain around her neck..
Teri taraf hi mude
yeh saans tujhase jude
Har pal yeh tera naam le
She turned around all ready and dressed just the way he like it, he want her to dress up for him.. He twirled her around twice and then pulled towards himself and so close that she could feel his breath touching her face..
She makes her feel on top of the world when the man she dreamt of is around her, belongs to her and makes her feel special with just being with her..
Tum mile... toh abb kya hai kamin,
tum mile... toh duniya mil gayi
Tum mile... toh mil gaya aasara
He disappeared from her dream land but she was ready and happy with just the thought of he being hers.. Smiling to herself, she hummed the bit of a song and gathering all her sarres just stuffed them somewhere inside and made a mental note to keep them properly after all of this is over..
Tum mile.. toh jaadu chha gaya,
tum mile... toh jina aa gaya
Tum mile... toh main paaya hai khuda
She took his picture in her hands before moving out wondering when the wait will be over and she will be with him.. Its been almost a moth they were away from eachother and she misses him so much.. She has those butterfly feelings in her stomach after thinking what would life be like with him.. When will they actually take their relationship to the next level?
She just can't stop now, she has all those thoughts and dreams in her which she wishes to come true soon..

"95% times.. Main bagair bataye ghar ata hun aur yahan koi faaltu party chal rahi hoti hai!!" Armaan gritted his teeth looking at all the lights and stuff.. "Ehh.. Bakwaas!!" He made a face and asusal choose his hidden paths to get in and then straight in his room.. He was tired and very stressed out regarding Aliya thing..
Tonight! The room felt different.. Different as in, it didn't have that old smell of his or that essence anymore.. It was a filled with her fragrance all over! Her perfume, her touch and Loosing control Night feeling..
Crap!! That feeling and those flashes again starts to kick in.. He turned on the light, AC fan and looked all around only to find nothing like before except for few things.. It has Shilpa more in it than him.. Obviously! she lived in, he didn't..
He dropped his bag on a side, found the whole dresser full of makeup products; she must have used to wear for the party.. "Uhmmm naha leyta hun!!" He gave it a thought and then started keeping his passport and other stuff on places, took off his shoes and socks and finally taking the towel put it around his neck, closed the lights and walked inside the wardrobe where he found nothing of him except of a sports short on a side.. "Pata nahi mere kapron ka kya kiya hai issne??" He huffed on not finding any of his night wears in place and then headed towards the bathroom..
...
"Ohh baat to hoti hogi Armaan se.." Shilpa was so so tired of listening such crap from the ladies and gossip queens.. She was happy initially in the party!! How can she be sad when Rahul and Rohail are around.. They welcome one guest and then pass a comment behind them in whispers cracking Shilpa up..
Not just one, everyone complemented Shilpa about her dressing.. They all thought she was looking very beautiful and then she recalled Nidhi's words... Yes!! It was true.. Whole world complementing her is on one side and Armaan is on other side.. Every moment from the past life where he complemented her, she recalled in those few seconds.. Her heart skipped a beat and suddenly she started feeling low.. She started missing him badly wondering what it would be like if her husband would be by her side..
Later, her mood cheered up when Malhotras entered.. She was meeting them after almost a week and was quite delighted to see them.. Loads of gossip was stored up to share with Muskaan but then the Bahu thing kicked in making her get busy and leave Muskaan for a while who got busy with Nikki and Anjali..
"Armaan nahi tumhare saath??" Another lady bombarded and a pissed off Dadi took the charge to explain why he is not around.. For a moment, Shilpalooked all around and found everyone with some company.. Almost all married couples were together laughing and mingling around with people and here she was... All alone without him.. The feeling slowly sinked in and made her ditached from everything.. She felt like, she needs a lonely place to sit in..
"Abay yaaar.." An irritated Rahul took away a soft drink from the tray and huffed while walking upto Abhi..
"Tumhe kya hua?" Abhi asked.. He was standing with Vikram telling him something he was asking..
"Arre hona kya hai? Sab pooch rahe hain! Ab yeh kal phone pe ussko sunaenge, phir wo humay sunae gaa aur ek hafta ab jhagra chale ga!!" Rahul was angry..
"To nayi baat kya hai iss mein? Huemsha hota hai!" Abhi patted Rahul's back..
"Kaun??" Confused, Vikram asked..
"Arre tumhara jija!!" Abhi explained...
"Oh! But unka isse kya leyna deyna hai? I am sure unhun ne to nahi kaha party rakhne ko..." Vikram talked what came logical to him..
"Arre.. Yaar!! Agg lagane walon ka kuch nahi kar sakte app!! Apni behn ki shakal dekh lo!! Ye to i am sure abhi he call kar k sunayegii!!" Rahul shook his head pointing at Shilpa..
"Yeh sunaegi??" Vikram coughed..
"Kyun bhae? Biwi hai! Sunane ka right hai!!" Abhi smirked..
"Haan!! iss bechare ko bohat experience haina!!" Rahul patted Abhi cheek and chuckled..
"Shut Up!!" Abhi rolled his eyes making the two laugh and left..
...
"Oh!! Sorry mam!!" A waiter passed by and as she turned around he winked at her.. "The Same Man!!" And her heart stopped beating..
"Kya hogaya? Tumhara chehra itna utra utra kyun lag raha hai??" Annanya asked loving putting her palm on Shilpa's heaad to check if she has caught some fever or what? She was standing in the middle of all these people where she feels so insecure..
"Mere sar mein bohat dard horaha hai!!" Shilpa instantly came up with a lie.. She was so sad, depressed and afraid that all she wanted was herself to be alone in a dark room and cry out.. Padma, Muskaan, no one holds any importance at the moment..
"Tum..." Annanya looked around to see the gathering which holds no intention to leave any time sooner.. "Tum jao.. dawa kha k so jao!!" She smiled at her.. "Wo..." Shilpa just opened her mouth to say something but Annanya stopped.. "Baaki sab ko dekh liya jayega.. tum ja k araam se so jao aur kuch tabeat zyaada kharab ho, to mujhe ya kisi ko phone kar dena!" Annanya patted her cheek with love to which Shilpa nodded and not just walked away but ran before anyone will catch her and question...
There are times and moments in our lives where someone or something holds a great importance... If that someone or something doesen't come up at the right time or at the time of the need, it looses its importance, respect and value..
On the contrary if that someone or something appeares in the time of need, it captures your heart.. Right now, Mr Husband Armaan Mallik was missed deeply, and not being unavailable he was at the edge of loosing that place in her heart.. It was the moment she was deeply missing and wishing only and only him.. She needed his hold, his protecting embrace! It was the moment he would either be her everything or be nothing to her at all..

She entered in her dark empty room, closing the door behind switched on shade lamp low and locked the door.. "Hhh.." She took a deep breath closing her eyes and slided down the door.. So much of emptiness was found inside.. It was like she wants to cry but tears were just not coming out.. She kept staring in front without blinking her eyes.. She was so so scared of that man and was feeling disgusted by his touch on her arm..
She entered in her dark empty room, closing the door behind switched on shade lamp low and locked the door.. "Hhh.." She took a deep breath closing her eyes and slided down the door.. So much of emptiness was found inside.. It was like she wants to cry but tears were just not coming out.. She kept staring in front without blinking her eyes..
After 5 minutes..
Time just went by with her staring in front doing nothing, thinking nothing, just blank! She turned her face feeling the cold wind and realised the fan of AC was on.. "Bund karna bhool gayi hongi.." She said to herself blankly.. She then took her mobile kept on the side and dialled Armaan without a thought, she was ready for her outburst..
But..
"The number you are trying to call is switched off!!"
"Urghhh..." With a rage she threw her mobile on the bed, Armaan Mallik just lost his value!! Now she was angry, sad and tired, she knew she couldn't sleep but she just wanted to sleep.. She sat down on the bed and cried.. That loneliness when everyone was around with their partners and he was not by her side.. She shivered with what that moron did to her on the street and now he was a waiter here?? What was he doing here? Whome should she complain? Will she be heard? How will everybody look at her if they will find out? Is this place secure? Her mind started spinning with one after another thoughts..
Still sitting down, she took off her earring from one hand, then pulled away her saree.. Got rid of her blouse and stood up to walk inside the wardrobe and then bathroom with just her inner wear and skirt on to use a face wash and try to sleep all locked up in this room.. This feels secure!!
"Aaahhh!!!" Shilpa yelled out hysterically when she walked at the bathroom door and it opened up itself and someone came outside.. "Shhh..." He frowned covering her mouth with his palm and slamming her against the wall.. "Bhoot nahi hun!" He smirked at his wife's scared look.. She was half naked..
silence..
"Hhh.." Her mind spinned with the 360 Degree movement.. She was so scared and now someone just appeared from her bathroom when she was almost out of her clothes.. Her eyes were wide open and breath was stuck.. "Saans!!" Armaan removed his hand from her mouth and asked her to take breath.. "Hhh.." She exhaled the sharp breath.. Her fear instantly got replaced by shyness and she turned around immediately to hide her front...
This was awkward, she shivered.. "Aaa app.. app kab aye??" She stammered.. She was not used to this sudden appearennce and especially her appearence infront of him in this state..
"Ummm.." He too turned around after realising in what position they both were.. He had his wet towel around his neck and his sports shorts on with nothing along.. "Thodi deir hui.." He said looking all around..
"Mmm main.. change kar k ayi!!" She ran inside the bathroom and shutting the door behind covered her face with her palm.. She just can't believe she appeared like this infront of him.. The anger, fear was all replaced by this new moment they had.. She was shy, feeling too awkward.. how will she face him now?
"Arghhh..." He shook his head kicking the wall on the side.. He too just couldn't believe that happened.. "Kapre kahan hai mere.." He gritted his teeth and turned on the wardrobe light to full so that he can search.. "Tumne mere saare ghar k kapre kahan rakh diye hain yaar?? Mujhe mil nahi rahe.." Atleast he asked in a loud voice..
"Wo... left se 3rd jo cabinet hai.. uss mein saamne he to rakhe hain!!" She nervously told him.. Well she has nothing to wear and walk outside.. She was stuck in this bathroom..
"Ab isske agay tumhari saariyaan latki hongi to mujhe kahan dikhenge??" He made a face and sided her sarees she must have tried for the party and just stuffed here and there for a while..
"App.. App neeche nahi jaenge?" She asked..
"Dimagh nahi kharab mera!! Na leyna na deyna.. Main kyun jaoon neeche?" He took out his sleeping suit and said..
"Par sab hain.. Abhi, Atul, everyone.." Shilpa pressed her lips together.. She was still waiting, if he has plans to go down, she need that makeup on her face for a while..
"Tum beech party chor k oppar kese ho?" He frowned and asked..
"Main..." She became speechless.. what to tell him?
"Mera party mein mann nahi lag raha tha.." She pressed her lips together..
"Thats strange.. Kuch gadbad hai! Hmmm" He presumed and nodded.. "Kisi ne kuch kaha hai? Asusual.. gossip mongers! kuch kaha hoga!!" He said out loud..
"To phir app ko neeche ajana chahiye tha naa.." She became angry..
"Tum bahar ao pehle.. phir larrna!" He folded his arms against eachother and said.. He speeded up her passport process with his contacts and he was here with her passport and visa to take her away with him in next 2 days..
"Main... App wardrobe se bahar jaenge please?" She atlast asked to which he smirked shaking his head and headed out..
Peeking outside, she quickly ran, grabbed her night dress and came back, took shower and got dressed.. His appearence made her very much normal.. She felt secure and had that sense of protection that nothing will go wrong with her when he is here..
...
"Appko ana chahiye tha neeche.." He heard her complaining voice from the back.. He was sitting down on the bed with her phone in her hands.. "Tumne call kiya tha? Kyun??" He showed his phone screen to her..
"Panga hua haina kuch?" Now his voice was stern.. He was tired and sick of these good for nothing parties..
"Sab pooch rahe thai.." She looked away..
"Aur main tumse kuch pooch raha hun!" He walked and stood infront of her..She was not looking at him..
Aakhon mein teri khone ki
Tere kareeb hone ki
"Shilpa!!" He took her face in his one palm and made her look up at him.. "What is it?" He raised his brows..
"Kuch nahi.." Her eyes got teary as she shook her head slowly in a No and then just hugged him tight with her eyes closed.. He was taken a back with the reaction.. Well, he wasn't expecting that..
Hone lagi aadat mujhe
Tujhpe fidaa hone ki
He opened his mouth to ask but then closed it down and wrapped his arms around her only to feel her grip getting tight over him.. He knew that grip!! It was of some fear!! "Mujhe.. mujhe nahi rehna akele yahan!!" She atlast cried..
"Main leyne he to aya hun tumhe!" He said softly while rubbing his hand over her back.. "Kya baat hai Shilpa?" He asked gently..
"Wo.." She sniffed as he parted her slowly.. "Hmm? batao mujhe.." He tried to gain that confidence..
"Maine kuch nahi kiya tha.." She hesitantly tried to defend herself first and then looked in his eyes as if she is some theif and is guilty for her deed.. Oh Crap! Few days before that look was on Aliya's face..
"Shilpaaa!!!" The knock on the door broke their trance.. She looked at the door which got knocked again.. "Beta Theek ho??" It was Annanya's voice and she can hear Padma and Muskaan's too at the back..
"Haa.." She was about to take a step towards the door and say something when he covered her mouth again and with widen eyes shook his head in a no.. "Agar inko pata he lagne deyna hota k main yahan hoon! To main direct kamre mein kyun ata?? Party nahi join kar leyta?" He whispered to her..
"Ummbb.." She frowned giving the expressions "So what should i do now?"
"Chup raho.. kuch nahi bologi sochenge so gayi!!" He warned..
Again the knock on the door made her hyper and she whispered.. "Wo nahi janege.. main khol rahi hoon!!" She made a face and took a step to walk when he held her hand and pulled back... "Armaan kya hai?" She frowned passing an angry look.. She was willing to go and open and he was not willing to be seen.. "Fine!!" He too frowned at her and walked inside the wardrobe.. "Ab shawk se kholo aur khabardaar jo mera naam liya!!" He pointed a finger at her and stretched the wardrobe curtains..
"Kya hua? itni deir laga di? jawab bhi nahi de rahi thi.." Annanya asked when shilpa opened the door.. "Wo.. main bathroom main thi naa.. isliye.." Shilpa replied.. "Dawa li koi?" Padma asked..
"Dawa?" Shilpa questioned..
"Haan!! sar mein dard tha to dawa nahi li?" Muskaan asked passing a weird look to her.. She was finding something suspicious..
"Wohi to leyne ja rahi thi.. I mean dawa loongi aur.. so jaoongi!" Shilpa made up..
"Sar mein dard tha?" Armaan scratched his head..
"Dikhao.. temperature to nahi hai?" Padma checked her forehead and Armaan held his head.. "Great! yeh log to bethne wale hain yahan!!" He sighed.. "Lekin iske ek sar dard pe itna drama aur concern? Mujhe to jhoote mu bhi na pooche koi.." He made a face.. Thankfully they all just left after 5 minutes and he came out when Shilpa closed the door and locked it..
"Sar mein tha?" He arched his brow at her..
"Mera mann nahi lag raha tha party mein to maine keh diya sar mein dard hai!" She made a face..
"Haan wo to Muskaan ki baatein sunn k laga mujhe k bilkul mann nahi lag raha tha.." He rolled his tongue in his mouth...
"Taana maar rahe haina?" She narrowed her eyes at him..
"Well.. Yes!!!" He came and stood infront of her..
"Ab neend nahi arahi appko?? so jaen.." She made a face..
"Mujhe bhook lagi hai!" He stated...
"Aur main neeche nahi jaoongii!!" She refused at once to go..
"Kyunki ab jo ghum tumhe kha raha tha mere na hone ka wo door hogaya hai!! To bhook to i am sure tumhe bhi lagi hai... ya lagne wali hai maybe.." He shruged his shoulders..
"Huh!! Apne na hone ka ghum??" She arched her brow.. "Jab appko parwa nahi hai.. to mujhe kyun khane laga ghum??" She questioned scowling narrowing her eyes at him... "Fine!! Khali pait dawa khao aur so.." He challanged and moved to his side of the bed ready to lay down and sleep..
...
"Maine Armaan ko kyun nahi bataya? Mujhe bata dena chahiye tha.." Shilpa bit her lower lip while rubbing her hands together.. "Wo ghar tak a sakta hai.. to.." She was scared and full of negative thoughts in her mind.. "Armaan kya sochenge mere baare mein?" A tear escaped her eyes as she turned her face to other side only to see Armaan's back facing her..
"Kisi aur ko pata chala to..." She started shaking.. The point was actually not about the right or wrong deed.. The point was that she doesn't want this to come out and embarass herself.. She was scared that he will scold her for not covering herself properly.. Anjali and Nidhi's words started haunting her..
She turned her side feeling a bit shaky, she wanted to cover herself full with the blanket.. "Kya Baat hai Shilpa?" He turned to face her and asked out of the blue..
"App.. app jaag rahe hain?" She got scared with his sudden question.. She thought he was sleeping.. Kyun itna darri hui ho?? Kya hua hai?" He frowned while sitting down on the bed..
"Kuch nahi hua hai.. Main bus chadar le rahi thi.." She nervously replied and covered herself with the sheet..
"Huhhh enough!!" He took a deep breath and leaned over her a bit.. "Ab to batana padega!!" He became serious and strict..
"Kuch nahi hai.. apko weham ho raha hai.." She spoke out irritatedly and changed her side to hide her face... "Mujhe weham nahi hote faaltu ke.." He held her by her arm and pulled her towards him.. "Mujhse koi masla hai? Kisi gharwale ne kuch kaha hai?? Bolo.." He narrowed his eyes at her..
"Kisi ne kuch nahi kaha hai.." She got more scared with his tone and fear.. No matter how bold or egoistic or confident she was, she becomes a nervous cat infront of him..
"Shilpa!!" He yelled out again pulling her straight to face her and this time she came half under him with his face on top of her and angry eyes looking straight in her teary ones..
She gulped down her saliva nervously, her lips trembled a bit after which he closed down his eyes and sighed.. He was trying to compose himself.. "Aisa kya hai jo batane mein itna jhijhak rahi ho yaar???" He asked softly while trying to bring ease and comfort in between them..
She felt like he has squeezed her heart in his fist and tears by tear own came in her eyes.. "Tch.. yaar!!" He wasn't getting what went so wrong?? Why the hell was she behaving like this..
"Tum ab mujhe pareshaan kar rahi ho.." He said gently brushing her hairs with his fingers.. "Kya baat hai?" He again asked after placing a light kiss on her forehead..
"Uss din..." She finally started talking and the more she talked, more scrotching lines appeared on his forehead.. "Tumhe ussi waqt batana chahiye tha mujhe!!" He scolded her.. Now where would he find that jerk again..
"Main darr gayi thi.." She whispered.. "Mujhe samajh nahi aya maine kya ghalat kar diya? Main kisko.. kya?" And she started crying..
"Shhh.." He took her in his embrace.. "Duniya mein bohat milenge aise Shilpa!! Bahar nikalne itna asaan nahi hota! Yeh azaadi sirf TV aur novels mein he dikhti hai.. Apne app ko prepare kar k bahar nikalna parta hai!!" Instead of scolding her, he guided her..
"Aur iss baat ka kisi k pehnawe se koi leyna deyna nahi hai.. Jo ghatiya hote hain wo ghatiya pan har haal mein dikhate hain!" He parted looking at her, trying to give her courage and bring her out of her guilt zone.. Aliya was still not over and he was not willing to put his wife under such pressure and loose all her confidence of going out..
"Ab chup!!" He cupped her face and wiped away her tears with his thumb..
"Par ussne mujhe aisa kyun samjha?" She sniffed..
"Bhool jao iss baat ko.." He was not willing to make a big deal out of it.. "Usse kahin se bhi dhoond k class to ache leyta uski main!! Par kya faida? Tumne yahan rehna he nahi hai.." He lightly smiled..
"Hhh.." She again sniffed and looked away.. She was under him, half in his arms and just sniffing looking here and there.. She looked so pure and innocent! "Mujhse kehne mein itna darr... kyun??" He asked after a while..
"Pata nahi.." She looked away.. she was looking everywhere accept him.. He kept looking her for a while at her and what she was doing.. She was trying to stop her sniffing but not trying to get out of his hold or move away and try to sleep..
"Idhar dekho.." He made her look at him.. "Its Okay!" He looked in her eyes and said..
Aisa nasha aankhon mein tha
Haaye madhosh hum hue
But then felt his eyes unable to move away.. A fire lit up between the two, he saw something in her eyes.. Something which only she had in her eyes, something he was never seen before..
His hand which was under her waist from long, suddenly started sending some kind of current in her.. "M..mujhe neend arahi hai!" She slowly said still looking in his eyes.. she was too unable to move away.. Slowly she felt his face coming near.. Her eyes automatically turned heavy and the fan of her lashed lowered down..
Tujhe chhu le bin chhue
Pyaas bujhe bin piye
The sensation was entirely different the way they both were experiencing.. She had slow jitters in her, his each touch was sending shivers down her spine.. She breathed deep as he kissed her pulling the straps of her night dress down her shoulders..
She heaved in pleasure and shivered at the same time when his fingers touched her bear and untouched body in a way only he has the right to touch and give her that feel..
Her fingers roughly twirled between his hairs, she wasn't driving him crazy but nuts!! He was very clear about them in that moment.. He had her and now he was willing to claim her, to make her his very own and just his.. He would hold no barriers from her from this time and spot..
He explored her to the places only he could, showered kissed all over her skin making her moan out his name in pure pleasure.. She was turning into something else.. She was turning in to be his wife, the girl he will only dream of from now!
She was nervous, she was hesitant, she was only responding to his touches with her heavy sharp breaths and moans only until he lost himself completely to her.. Her each breath, each whimper was affecting him, encouraging him to take his step and claim her..
Tujhko palkon pe rakh lu saja ke yaara
Bin kahe suno o yaara
"Armaan..." She whimpered clutching the sheets under beneath and completely surrendering, let go of herself into something she never even given a thought too.. He was looking at her intently when she herself initiated a kiss she wanted to feel and go for without any hesitation.. He man was hers and the only anchor of her drowning soul.. It wasn't a game to loose easily.. It wasn't just her to surrender! Her moves followed his turning this even better..
They can witness, they can feel the mutual desire and passion for eachother.. The nervousness and shyness was long gone.. It was them for eachother and with eachother..
Falling sleep, he finally was not some freak but a normal person who would love, loose control, go crazy over and take a step ahead to claim what he believe belongs to him only..
