Kavya made sandwiches and ate one while kept another for adhi,
adhi smiled at her gesture , and thanked god for finally giving this small precious moments with his wife.
adhi and kavya reached their office and was greeted by everyone, kavya was sweetly surprised to see her school principal waiting.. she greeted her and was so excited that her principal wanted her to attend their annual function so that she can become motivation for all students, kavya accepted the invitation and with lots of respect helped her principal till the car.. Adhi was happy seeing his wife's achievement.
the next day Kavya got ready for the annual function and asked Adhi if he is comming along, but Adhi refused and said that he will prefer to look after the office today so that she can enjoy her day, kavya thanked him and left..
****
At the office noon time, Adhi decided to take a break for lunch, he decided to explore the nearby shops for snacks as he was alone..
he was looking at the options to eat in a nearby halwai shop when he heard a girl calling for help, Adhi out of curosity looked out and shocked to see it was Navya follwed by some goons.. "Navya.!" he shouted turning her focus towards him navya ran into adhi and hid behind his back.. Adhi warned the goons to stay away, "Ae IAS dont come in our way or else we will cut you also into two pieces"said one of the goon.. "why are you behind her?" asked Adhi.. "None of your business" said the goon.. navya was frieghtened and told adhi that they were shubhams goon and were misbehaving with her as she refused to marry him.. Adhi looked at the goon leader and advised him to go back leaving Navya or else it wont be good.. The goons were very stubborn and started coming forward, Adhi picked up the frying kabgeer from the halwai shop and started hitting the goons, fight started as they were very strong and 5 in number Adhi was severely injured.. Halwai who was watching and listening to all the conversation stepped in with his workers and helped adhi in fight.. finally the goons left.. Adhi thanked them and took Navya with him to the cottage...

evening time
Navya returned home happy and content after a nostalgic day, but was greeted with a shock.. navya and adhi all injured and their clothes soaked in blood.. Navya rushed to kavya and hugged her telling all the story.. kavya calmed her down and took her for shower..

after a while
Adhi in his room was struggling with removing his shirt as his shoulder was aching, he felt someone helping him and ofcourse who else could it be but his beloved wife, kavya carefully removed the shirt and examined him and his wounds, while adhi gave in, and didn't resist neither said a word.. kavya made him sit gave a pain killer tablet and cleaned all the wounds dressed them gently.. her concern grew when she saw a big cut mark near the neck.. she tried to clean it but adhi was wincing in pain "Adhi bas hogaya just two minutes" said her but he was agonised due to pain..kavya couldnt see him suffering so much in pain and hugged him crying.. Adhi calmed down, it was a very much needed hug.. Adhi closed his eyes as he felt soothing because of the closeness.. he slowly forwarded his hand to complete the hug but his shoulder didnt allow him and he winced in pain bringing kavya back to her senses.. "Adhi sorry sorry" appologised Kavya.."arey nahi baba its not because of you, i just tried to lift my hand"explained adhi.. kavya resumed her dressing of wounds, while Adhi tried to be patient. after a long time they were so close and for a long time and their longing for each other played its magic, they were attracted to each other more adhi took the first step and tried to kiss kavya for which even kavya didnt refuse but before anything could have happened the door bell rang bringing them back to their senses..
**
two police officers came to take Navya's statement as kavya called them.. navya narrated the whole incident from where it started
........Navya came from her college and was surprised to see shubh's parents at her home, for which she actually not bothered, but when her father came to her and informed her about the marriage with shubh, navya lost her cool and went directly to shubh.. "kyu badi behen ne chod dia to choti behen se badla lena chahte ho" shouted navya on shubh shocking everyone.. "dekha bansal tumhari badi beti k hi rang me rangi hai choti bhi" quoted a villager provoking bansal more, shubh was at heights of anger with Navya's disresprect and stood up grasping her hair in his hands," what do you sisters think of me? I will show you what I can do" said shubham pushing her on ground.. navya looked at her dad who was watching her being manhandled and still didnt come in between instead started abusing Kavya for giving all girls wrong inspiration, Navya stood up by herself and announced, that she wont be marrying shubh at any cost and will prove her worth by becoming a doctor after which shubham warned her that he is giving her evening time to agree for marriage or else he will make sure that she wont be marriage material after that.. then when she again refused he sent those goons with bad intensions..
kavya was silently listening to the whole incident and police recorded eveything.. Adhi who was sitting at a distance looked at the two ladies and their bravery to stand up for themselves with a proud smile..
police assured her that they will do their best but again kavya warned them, that shubham is very influencial and if they get any threats or the police get favourable towards the culprit then she will take a strict action.. the double assured her and left.. Adhi came and side hugged Navya comforting her, he looked at kavya and asked to keep Navya with them.. kavya agreed and took navya to her room,
Adhiraj to himself " bahut burai bad chuki hai is duniya me ab to action me ana hi padega" said him in a determined tone
***
kavya was sitting near the window of hall peeping outside lost in her thoughts, Adhi who noticed it from his room came and sat beside her, "kavya are you okay?" asked adhi..
kavya nodded her head unintrestedly, "go and sleep you need rest" said him.. "Adhi thankyou" said her... Adhi looked at her and just smiled "adhi shall I ask you one thing?" asked her.. "dont.!" said him in a firm tone, kavya looked at adhi on his reply.. " I dont want to spoil what is between us now, let those questions of past be in past" said adhi getting up fron there.. kavya held his hand and stopped him, adhi stood numb, praying that kavya doesnt force him to answer any of her question related to past.. but he was confused when kavya left his hand without asking any thing and turned towards the window, "what are you thinking kavya"asked adhi concerned.. ""dont.! dont ask when you dont have an answer for my questions" said kavya firmly, adhi helplessly went back to his room and regretted hurting kavya again.. "I wish I could change all that happened and make it beautiful for you" he mumbled to himself..
****
kavya was on her inspection round of pollice station.. she was surveying the condition of the cells and prisoners, he was talking to one of the official over there for report, when her eyes fell on a room where it was written
"Narcotics"
"whats that" asked curious kavya.. officer informed that it was for confession recordings who dont tell the truth are given some narcotic drugs after courts permission so that information that they are hiding coukd be retrieved..
"what drugs do you give can you show me?" asked kavya..
officer led her to the room where a lie detecting machine and some medicines were kept.. she looked at the medicines and asked "do they work?" "yes it does.. two tablets and the truth is out" said the official, "how is it possible?" asked kavya " it works like alcohol, once inside your system.. it makes you drowsy such that your concious minds loses control and what ever is hidded subconciously with out any filter is blurted out on repeated asking and provoking" said officer. "can i take two tablets from it?" requested kavya..official looked at her suspiciously, " just in case I have to use it for emergency"explained kavya.. "we cant use it without courts order"said official.. "ohh wanted to try them for a mission" said kavya making a sad face " ok keep these two tablets.. unofficially, dont reveal it to anyone then it will become a mess"said the official, kavya smiled and thanked him assuring that she wont misuse it, she kept it safely in her bag and completed the rest of the work..
she returned to her office and completed the report, it was very late and adhi left on time as navya was alone at home.. the official car and driver who were waiting for kavya picked her up and was on her way to cottage on the way she realised that she is not going on the correct way, she looked at the driver whos face was not visible due to the cap and darkness kavya felt suspicious and alerted the officials on phone first on message as adhi was also one of the official member the message reached him too..
Kavya asked the driver to stop where ever they were, driver didnt stop and continued driving to the darker forest area which didnt belong to the village..Kavya took out a hand knive and placed it on drivers neck asking him to stop.. the car stopped abruptly causing kavya hold to losen due to jerk.. and the knife fell down.. "so Mrs pradhan or Ms kavya bansal only?" asked Shubham revealing his face.. "As I suspected" said kavya.. "enough of your disrespect now, i will show you what shubam is.. " said shubh dragging kavya out of the car, kavya pushed him down and warned him not to come near her, " you have seen my love now I want you to see what all shubham can do" said shubh coming towards kavya.. kavya lifted a rock from floor and warned him to stop or else she will throw it on him and he will be responsible for it.. she threw the rock but shubh escaped and laughed like a maniac.. it was very dark and nothing was visible the only light was cars headlight.. kavya looked around for help and realised it will be difficult to be escape if he catches her.. she started running in the dark and shubh followed her.. the darkness increased and kavya couldnt see anything in the surrounding.. but could know shubh's movement as he was using his phones torch for searching her.. kavya was scared of shubh as she couldnt fight back
that is when she felt someone at her back holdingbher from back and before she could scream fkr help that intruder kept his hand on her mouth.. "kavya its me" said adhi.. she realised that she was now safe as adhi has arrived.. she hugged him out of fear... but listening to the movements shubh reached on spot and could see adhi and kavya with help of his torch.. "ohhh good I found you both together will finish my both works together" said shubh approaching them.. Adhi pointed a gun towards shubh and asked him to stay there itself, "uff I am so scared" said shubh pretending to be afraid.. "forgot Mr Adhiraj Pradhan what I did to you that day?"asked shubh with a smirk.. "what will happen if I do the same and then who will save your girl" asked shubh.. "shubh leave" warned adhi.. "okay I will spare you give me kavya" demanded shubh.. "you both are not married I know that" said shubh shocking kavya " you dont live like wife husband" said him.. "then give her to me I will teach her how husband and wife lives" said shubh laughing.. Adhi came forwaed pushin kavya behind.. " you are talking about my wife and I am warning you for the last time go away from here" warned adhi.."let me do what I want to do with her and then I will leave i promise without harming anyone" said shubh looking at kavya with bad intensions.. adhi kept hi gun inside rolled his sleeves up and looked at shubh with angry eyes.. "you asked for it" said him giving a blow.. turning off his vision and landing him directly on ground.. "you were talking about my wife" releated adhi again and pulled him up holding his collar and gave another blow making him knock out he again repeated you were talking about my wife and was about to give him a third blow but kavya stopped him saying he has lost his conciousness, he is not a threat anymore but adhi was unable to hear any thing he was repeating the same thing and tried to hit him a big rock but kavya hugged him tight trying to calm him down.. she could feel how angry he was as his body was stiff and fuming hot flames.. his tone his eyes.. it took adhi sometime to realise and throw the rock away.. he looked at kavya to make sure she is okay..she assured him that she is all fine and nothing is wrong.. just then police and officials reach tracking them and arrested shubh and took him to hospital..
kavya and adhi were sitting in the car back seat and official driver driving..
she looked at adhi who was still not settled and trying to hide or overcome his anger, kavya recalled rudra's incidents.. she recalled how adhi was again and repeating thatbshe was his wife that command that anger than concern.. then why are they away thought she.. kavya looked at her bag and thought about the pills she took from narcotic room deciding if she can use them,
***
they reached home and went to their bedrooms quitely but couldnt fetch sleep, as adhi was boiling in rage and kavya with questions...
***
Morning office
Kavya was going through a file and adhi had went for inspection to a near by hospital.. a pune came inside and informed that someone has come to meet her.. she curiously asked to send the visitor inside and was overwhelmed to see Shyaam.." kaka how are you "asked kavya taking his blessing and hugging him.. he was definitely more than a father for her, shyaam was happy to see her as complete officer and her doing good work for people.. he spent sometime with her enquiring about her life and comfort, informed her about chaya's marriage proposal and took advice on it..kavya and shyaam ate jalebi in her cabin recalling how they 4 used to party and enjoy on terrace.. shayaam told her how they missed her but used to be happy seeing her achievements on tv and newspaper..
shyaam left with a promise that he will return soon with the invitation card..
kavya realised that he forgot his papers at her desk and rushed to give it away, but stood still when she witnessed shyaam folding hands in front of adhi.. she hid near the wall so that they couldnt see her but she could listen to there conversation.. "adhi baba, how are you? hope everything is sorted now" asked shyaam.. while Adhi nodded no " I wanted to meet and personally thankyou fkr taking caring if my kavya" said adhi.. " dont tell like this baba she is like maya for us.. and what we did except givingbher love and support it was you who guided us on every step to help her overcome the grief" said shyaam.. "I am her culprit" said adhi.. "No baba you saved her life, when she will know the truth she will understand" said shyaam.. "No shyaam kaka please remember your promise, she should not know anything about this" said Adhi.. shayaam with heavy heart nodded positively and went from there.. kavya was confused more after listening to their conversation..
she realised she had shyaam's paper and called out for him.. adhi was shocked seeing her and doubtedly looked at her if she had heard their conversation but kavya didnt let him doubt and acted normally.. adhi was relieved..
*****
Night-cottage
they finished their dinner and and went off to sleep
adhi was in his room sirting out his clothes for morning whe somebody knocked on door.. he looked at the intruder and smiled on realising it was kavya.. she had two mugs of coffee in her hand, handed over one to adhi and other for herself, "coffee?" asked adhi.. " yes, thankyou for saving me yesterday" said kavya reminding of yesterday.. adhi's smile vanished as he recalled shubh's act.. " relax he is in prison lets enjoy the coffee" said kavya.. adhi nodded positively and they both came to hall and made them selves comfortable on sofa.. "Navya slept?" asked adhi.. "yes, she has her first day of medical college so went of to sleep early" said her.. adhi smiled and took a sip of his coffee.. while kavya looked at him eagerly waiting for him to complete his coffee.. she recalled how she added the two pills in his coffee..as she wanted answers of her questions and knew adhi wont be giving it tonher straight.. she switched on Tv and started watching it to deviate her mind till he finishes.. finally the moment came when he finished his last sip and placed his cup normally, she doubted pills effect as it didnt made him drowsy..buy slowly observed that adhinstarted yawning.. she witched off the tv and started her conversation " tiring day na Adhi?" asked her.. "hmm" mumbled Adhi
"how are you feeling now?" asked kavya
Adhi nodded his head positively..
"I think I should go to sleep" said him getting off the sofa but about to stumble down.. kavya held him preventing him from falling, and helped him to his room, making him lye down on bed comfirtably tucking him in warm blanket.. " Adhi shall I ask something?" asked kavya.. "hmm" said adhi smiling at her admiring.. but before she could ask something Adhi started.. "Mrs Pradhan you look so beautifull", said adhi gently rubbing her cheek.. he was the same adhi she experienced that day when adhi revealed they were married.. soft caring and loving which kavya missed,
"Adhi you love me?"asked kavya.
"more than you could imagine" said him seductively," but you didnt let me kiss you that day" complained adhi.. "which day?" asked kavya with a frown. "that day when you did my dressing" said adhi with a puppy face.. "I will let you kiss me today if you tell me our story" said kavya.."our story?" asked adhi.. "yes our love story..i will tell the first half you tell the last" said kavya..
"okay" adhi agreed..
Kavya started from their first meet to their fights and finally the day of her marriage.. and asked adhi to continue the remaining part.. adhi was emotional by now and nostalgic recalling all the moments together.
he smiled at kavya and looked at her "kavya i know you have given me something in coffee.. so that I tell your answers.."said adhi drowsily.. "yes I did, now please tell me why did you leave me?" asked kavya.. "what would I do he warned me that he will kill you if I dont call off the marriage" said him with a puppy face.. "who?" asked her "Netaji" said him.. "Netaji?" asked kavya confused "you dont know netaji?" asked him giggling.. "you dont know the main villain of story?" laughed adhi..
"what happened that day adhi?" asked her but adhi becane silent while looking at kavya with longing, kavya tried to make him speak but subconciously with out any control adhi was more intrested in making love to her, hi wife, his Mrs pradhan.."kavya please be with me" said adhi pulling her towards him which made kavya fall on his chest.. " lets make this night memorable" said adhi while his eyes got ckose due to sleep.. kavya tried to wake him up but failed as he went into his deep slumber.. she knew that adhi has already made out about the pills when he was concious that is why asked it subconciously.. the only new thing she got to know was about netaji, but had no idea who he was.. she looked at adhi and realised that how much he love her and longing for her, she understood that her aadhi was behaving so because of some compulsion and there was no mistake of him.. she recalled how he adressed her Mrs pradhan and how he was angrily reapeating her as his wife while fighting with shubham.. she smiled at him and caressed his cheek with love.. "Adhi?" she called him but adhi was in deep sleep..she smiled and tried to get out from his fold but adhi tightened it more and kavya gave in.. she slept hugging adhi feeling her husband's warmth around her.

Morning Adhi's room
adhi slowly came out of his deep sleep he felt himself hugging somethin warm and cozy which was soothing him he slowly opened his eyes to find out what it was, to his surprise it was kavya too close to him her tempting lips just 2 inches apart her warm breath hitting his face and her weight on his arm beneath her..he admired her for a while then realised that she was not supposed to be with him, he tried to recall what actually happened last night.. the last he could remember was doubting on her coffee and feeling sleepy rest was like a blank page.. while he was lost in his thoughts, kavya woke up and smiled at adhi finding him awake.. while adhi looked at her suspiciously..kavya got up and stretched her back and shoulder, "how much did I try to wake you up but you were so stubborn" she quoted.. adhi got up too and asked worriedly "did I misbehave"
kavya gave a cold look "misbehave ? you wanted to kiss me make love to me.. but" said kavya in a angry tone.. "but?" asked adhi worriedly "but slept before doing anything" complained kavya.. adhi looked at her confused.. unable to process what she said, kavya looked at him with a impossible face.. "your wife is sitting next to you and you dont even romance with her"said kavya confusing him more.. "what did I say last night" he questioned.. kavya cupped Adhi's face, "Nothing much, no answer for my question but confessed how much you love me, shared your desires hiw want to kiss me and how you want to...." kavya was abruptly stopped "ok fine fine all said and done go to your room now" demanded adhi.. but kavya was adamant " why should I this is our room, I am with my husband and it my right tonas for..." but before she could complete adhi closed her mouth, but kavya kissed it compelling adhi to pull away..he checked if kavya had fever or some drug effect "did you also eat or drink something with me" asked adhi.. kavya laughed at him and get off the bed giving an impossible look to him but again returned back gave peck on his cheek and went to bathroom to freshen up..
