Part 5:

Prachi opened her eyes in the morning to see that Milind was sleeping
away as a baby towards her. She kept on watching him for minutes. She
thought how peaceful he looked in sleep. She wondered what is this man
wanting to do with her life. She was more than happy to have Mishraji as
her father in law and Sukruti as her sister in law. She was never really in
love with Neev. She was not guilty of marrying someone else other than
Neev. And she has married Milind to save her family from the worst
trouble. Milind at the end of the day has helped her, may be for his own
selfish needs as he claimed on the wedding night. But her heart said there
is something else to it. What is it that she reads from his eyes that's
different from what he says? Why did he drive his car crazy yesterday.
Why was Ayesha there in the office today? Why did she herself feel bad
about seeing Ayesha close to Milind? Prachi couldn't understand anything.
She remembered what Milind said in the car yesterday 'you won't
understand'. But she wanted to.

Milind woke up much later than Prachi and she was preparing breakfast by
then. Everyone was at the dining table but Prachi was still in the kitchen
preparing a smoothie. Sukruti teased Milind if he was going to take Prachi
out for breakfast too as he took her for dinner yesterday and that's why
she is not at the dining table. He looked at Sukruti with a questioning
face. Sukruti said "don't be innocent Bhaiya, Bhabhi told me you both ate
out yesterday after the office and that's why you both didn't eat dinner at
home yesterday". He wondered why Prachi missed her meal. Prachi came
and joined everyone by then with her strawberry smoothie. Strawberry
was Milind's favourite fruit of all times.
Sukruti was telling Soumya "look at my Bhabhi, she will only prepare what
is favourite to my brother". Milind resisted a smile, but Prachi didn't.
Milind caught that moment and didn't want to lose it. But when Prachi
caught him looking at her, he turned away. However, he couldn't resist
his temptation for strawberry smoothie thinking resisting Prachi will be
more than enough.

Back in the bedroom, getting ready for work, he couldn't stop thinking
why is behaving the way he is. He thought he never felt the way he is
feeling now. He thought he loved Ayesha. Ayesha was the only girl he was
friends with, and whenever his father talked about his marriage, he would
think may be he will marry Ayesha. And Ayesha was obsessed with him
all the time. He respected her friendship and trust she showed more than
anything. When he had decided to leave the country, Ayesha confided her
love to him and he had asked her to wait for his come back. But Ayesha
had moved on. He couldn't trust her anymore.

He then thought about Prachi. Why does he lose himself when he looks at
her? Is she the most beautiful woman on earth? Is it just his hormones?
But then, why she doesn't argue with him? Why she doesn't ask him
questions that he wants to answer with the rudest possible words. Prachi
came in then asking him if he was ready to go to the office. He left along
with her.

Prachi took her job very seriously and did her best. In two weeks time,
her suggestions had helped Milind in gaining two major contracts and his
routine at work was more organised than before. He had admired the fact
that she was very good at job and didn't want her to stop from it as he
saw his benefit and comfort in it.

At home, Milind couldn't be bad to Prachi either. Sukruti was sick with
terrible cough and chest infection and Prachi slept in Sukruti's room in
order to take care of her in the night. Milind was ashamed to be rude to
Prachi while she was taking utmost care of his sister. He also had sensed
that Sukruti was so comfortable with Prachi. On one hand Milind was
happy to sleep alone so that he is not tempted by Prachi but on the other
hand he missed her badly. He did thank Prachi for taking care of his
sister more than once. Prachi had only mentioned that there is nothing to
be thanked over it.

It was a Saturday night and Milind took Prachi to a party with him. It was
the party thrown by his most important client Mr. Kapoor with whom
Prachi had helped to make a deal. Mr. Kapoor had come to Milind's office
to invite him for the party and insisted that Prachi should be joining him
too. Prachi had dressed in a saree after a while and Milind was cursing
the saree, which made him so aware of her. Milind felt proud when many
people in the party either said his wife was beautiful or that they looked
nice together. Prachi remained quiet for most of the time.

"Prachi, let's go dance" Milind asked Prachi. He didn't really know how to
dance but he wanted to get closer to Prachi, feel her warmth and hold her
in his hand.

"I don't want to dance Milind, I really.." Prachi was explaining herself
while Milind interrupted. "You don't want to dance with me right, you will
only dance with your Neev, huh? But I am your husband now, you will
dance with me today". Saying that he put his hand around her waist,
which made her heart come to her mouth, and dragged her to the dance
floor. Prachi had tears in her eyes, but didn't let them flow. As soon as
they reached the centre of the dance floor, music stopped for an
announcement from the host. Mr. Kapoor gave a speech about his new
business ventures. Milind and Prachi stood in the dance floor and listened
to him.

As the speech finished, Prachi felt a hand on her shoulder and her eyes
glowed. It was one of her best friends Sumana. "Prachi, what am I seeing,
you on the dance floor, and what is this mangalsutra, did you get
married?". Sumana asked Prachi.

Prachi introduced Sumana and Milind to each other and apologised to
Sumana for not inviting her for wedding as it happened too quickly.
Sumana said to Milind "Milindji, do you know how difficult it is to bring
Prachi to the dance floor. She is so shy all the time that she starts crying
if you ask her to dance. And today you have brought her here and she is
not crying. You are the right person for her I think, to release this bird
from cage! But I will tell you one secret of Prachi if she hasn't told you
yet. She sings beautifully. Again, not in front of everyone".

Milind felt very bad about forcing Prachi to dance with him. He didn't
show it though. But he asked her if she wanted to leave the party right
after that. She followed him. When they reached home, Sukruti told Prachi
that she is alright now and she doesn't need to sleep with her anymore.
Milind was happy to have his wife back in the bedroom.

Prachi stood by the bedroom window watching the sky, when she felt
Milind behind him. "I didn't know that you hated dancing", saying that he
put his hand on hers which was on the window.

Part 6:

Prachi shivered at Milind's touch, turned around and looked into his eyes
trying to read them. She was only more confused at that possessive stare.
Milind on the other hand read 100 questions in Prachi's eyes, which never
came out of her mouth. He wanted her to question him, argue with him,
shout at him, or at least say something about what she is thinking. As
silence took a few minutes, Milind broke it with "Do you not want to say
something to me?".
"I don't undetstand anything to say something Milind", Prachi released
her hands from his and went to bed.

Miling was satisfied that Alaap, who once was wasting his father's money
and bothering his sister was now working under him in a junior position.
He was also proud of acquiring Shah mansion and industry. His anger had
come down to a great extent in that front. He was also pleased somewhat
about what he did with Ayesha, just making her feel the pain that he felt.
But Prachi.. he wasn't sure. Though Milind had seen Prachi from
childhood, he hardly knew her. He had imagined her to be an arrogant,
rich girl with no values. His thoughts about her were influenced greatly by
what he saw in Alaap. However, his wife Prachi was no way similar to his
imaginary Prachi. She was kind, patient, tolerant and good-natured. She
took care of not only her family but also his family. Though he thought
she may not be genuine, he couldn't believe it whenever he saw her eyes.
Beyond all this, even before he realized her good nature, he was drawn to
her. It wasn't simple for him tell her what he felt now. Telling her how
much he hated her was more easy than telling her how much he liked her
or perhaps loved her. He knew that he had made himself look so bad in
front of her. She wouldn't be thinking high of him anyway. And from what
he had heard from people, Neev and she were in love. Does she still love
Neev? Milind had the courage to hurt her with harsh, but had no courage
to talk his heart or listen to her as a friend.

Milind was browsing news channels one evening and over heard a
conversation he pretended not interested. "Prachi di, I wish I didn't have
my exams now. I would have gone to see this new Aamir Khan movie with
you". Soumya told Prachi. Sukruti joined her to say "Bhabhi, the thing is I
also have my exams and my Bhaiya never goes to see movies. But I know
that you are a big Aamir Khan fan, you will either have to take papa or
your mother if they agree".

Next morning in his office, Milind asked his office boy to get two tickets
for the latest Aamir Khan movie. He asked Prachi if she could finish her
work before 4 which she efficiently did. At 4, he drove Prachi towards the
movie theatre. Unsure of where he was taking her, Prachi asked where
they were going. He said with a cunning smile "to eat paani puri". Prachi
went "really? I always wanted to eat paani puri on road side. But my
parents never allowed me to do so. Could we eat paani puri on a road
side shop today?". Milind was surprised but happy at Prachi's request.
Also that his favourite paani puri place was on the road he was driving.
When they reached the place, Milind told the pani puri seller to feed
Prachi with as many paani puris she can eat. Prachi was so excited about
it. However, Prachi struggled with handling paani puris. Seeing this Milind
laughed in his head, grabbed her plate and asked her to open her mouth
big. Prachi though felt shy initially couldn't resist paani puris or Milind's
offer. He put the paani puris in her plate one by one and Prachi went on
eating until she felt really full. He didn't lose the opportunity to brush her
lips with his fingers while feeding her. She wanted to bite his finger, but
she thought that would make her look very stupid at this point. After
eating 10 pani puris from Milind's hands, she then sat on a bench to
relax. "We need to leave now, otherwise it will start". Prachi had thought
they only came to eat paani puris and looked at Milind with surprise.
Milind asked her to get in the car so that he can actually take her where
he had planned to.

Milind drove into a multiplex and Prachi saw huge posters of the new
Aamir Khan starrer. Milind asked her to hurry while getting out of the car
as they were already late. Prachi was more surprised and she said "Milind,
are you going to see the movie as well?". "Some one gave me these
tickets. I thought we may see this movie. It's a long long time I have seen
a movie. I have two tickets, If you want to see it alone, I can go home
now" said Milind with a sigh. "I am very happy that you will also see this
movie. It should be a nice one" saying that Prachi ran towards the door
and Milind followed her.

It was a tragic romantic story. Prachi was in tears at times seeing the
movie. Milind was trying to steal glances or hoping that she would move
close to him during the move. He cursed the seats for being so big that
Prachi didn't even occupy half of it and that made her sit not so close to
him. Milind didn't enjoy the movie as much as he was so conscious of
Prachi around him.

On the way of driving back home, Milind suggested to Prachi that they
could eat outside and she doesn't need to lie about it. Prachi was a bit
embarrassed that Milind had come to know about it. Milind asked Prachi
to choose a restaurant. Prachi recommended the one she used to go with
Neev sometimes during their college days. "Are you sure they make dosas
here" Milind was in a mood to eat dosa that night. "Of course, I have been
here so many times with Neev", as Prachi took Neev's name, Milind's face
lost its rare smile he was wearing for the whole day. He turned aloof and
grumpy while eating dosas.

Prachi was sensitive enough to understand what was going on in Milind's
mind. She thought she shouldn't have mentioned Neev's name. She didn't
know how to tell she never really loved him. At the same time, Prachi's
heart was feeling a sensation of happiness as she saw that Milind is hurt
with Neev's name. It meant something to her.

Milind didn't talk much after that incident and went to bed straight
without waiting for what Prachi had planned to tell him. Prachi cried in
silence as she felt very bad for hurting Milind and she decided to tell him
clearly about Neev very soon.
