Naku was already overwhelmed with the fact that Dutta had pulled her aside privately just to give her a gift, a gorgeous set of payals, and above it all he expected her to go up to the terrace so they could talk. She would not be able to talk. God, around him, if she could even part her lips to speak that would be a miracle, especially when he was so keen on showering his love on her. His mere presence was enough to make her heart race and eyes fix on him alone. Nothing in this world mattered other than him but the thought of just spending any time with him, alone, was nerve wrecking. Naku took a deep breath before parting her mouth to say she had to give aayi saheib warm milk to help her sleep. She scurried from there, as fast as she possibly can, before he had the chance to protest. Dutta expected only this to be her reaction. Naku and romance were not exactly two things he could imagine together for she was a very timid girl. Although he knew Naku well enough to know this was not exactly her best cup of tea, he really wanted to spend some time alone with his wife. Was some time out in the terrace too much to ask for? He never expected his own family to stand in the way of getting some nice moments with Naku. All were so keen on taking her away.He couldn't really blame them, who wouldn't want Naku around? But right now was about him. He wasn't going to let it be. He was determined this time. If he can get embarrassed in front of his whole family just to pick out a pair of anklet chains for her, than she can make time for him and she will do exactly that. A determined Dutta walks around looking for Naku as if he were a child looking for his hidden chocolates.

He walks by his mother's room in search of her and found his mom had already fallen asleep. He immediately wondered where Naku had gone especially considering that his mother wouldn't need the aid of warm milk to put her to sleep. He headed to the little temple in the house where Naku's favorite god sat guarding his family. He looked around but did not spot her. He thinks a moment and light bulb goes on as he gathers where she must be. Of course she must be in one of her most favorite spots in the entire house, the kitchen. Dutta made his way there as he scanned the area, noting the stillness of the place he concluded that there was no one around. Perfect, that was just what he wanted. He leaned his right shoulder to the door frame, folding his hands across his chest as he saw Naku tidying up the last of things. He stood there in silence as he admired the innocent, simple girl that ruled his heart. Naku stood there with the brightest and biggest smile on her face. Naku was done with the kitchen but before leaving, grabbed a glass of milk for herself. As she stood taking a sip her eyes gleamed seeing the new, shiny, jingling ornament on her ankles. It was gorgeous but more importantly the man that held her heart gave, no, he put them on her. Naku blushes a little as she thought of how he had dragged her out and kind of just took the liberty of putting them on her. Now with every step she makes she'll hear, feel, and experience his love for her. Oblivious to Dutta's presence, Naku visibly admires the anklets. Dutta, satisfied with her reactions, smiles as he begins to speak "If the gift itself makes you smile like this, what will happen seeing the person who gifted it?" Naku jumped a little as she was startled by his sudden deep, soft voice. She turned with a start toward the door and suddenly got extremely nervous and embarrassed.

"Saab" she gasped as her eyes diverted here and there. "D...did you want something? You could've just called for me" she said stuttering s little in a nervous tone. He straightened up his posture and began to take steps forward towards her. Naku's heart fluttered and her eyes unblinkingly fixed on him. "Haan, I did want something, but first tell me what do I get?" he questioned and Naku creased her forehead in confusion. "What do you mean?" she asked unsure. Dutta continued to walk closer and came to stop right in front of her. He stood with his hands folded across his chest and his eyes gazing straight into hers. "What do I get for give you the gift?" he questioned with a hint of mischief in his tone as he pointed down at Naku's feet. Naku suddenly became quite hesitant and nervous. She wasn't sure what he was up to but she had guessed that it would make her uneasy. She glances up at him then immediately lowers her gaze. "Saab, ask for whatever you want from me" she said in her soft, innocent voice. Dutta smiled at her. "First I want that" he pointed at her glass of milk. She looked up to see what he was talking about and immediately goes to turn to grab him a glass. She stops when she feels a grasp on her free hand. She turns and faces Dutta in confusion. "Where are you going?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow. "The milk..." she started to say as she pointed in the direction of the stove. Dutta shakes his head and points at her glass then taps it lightly with his finger as he speaks. "I said this one" he clarifies with a knowing smile as Naku looks down at the glass in her hand and then looks up at him in confusion. She wondered what he was saying as she had already taken sips from the glass. It took her a moment to realize what Dutta meant and suddenly felt her cheeks heat up as she blushed and looked down. Dutta took and extra step closer as he reached forward for the glass and slipped it out of her hand while he gazed at her. He turned the glass to the spot he saw her lips on and took the, now cool, milk down in one go. Nake stood slightly stunned and majorly embarrassed as she saw him drink the milk. She had seen him chug down alcohol but milk? Never had she imagined such a day and all just to tease her. Dutta placed the glass on the counter behind her as she looked away shyly, trying to avoid meeting his eyes.

Naku was about to leave as the moment was getting to be too much but she found herself held back by his sudden, firm grasp around her wrist. Naku turned to see him as he began to drag her with him. She was kind of startled by his sudden behavior and watched after him confused. She managed to ask where he is taking her to which he simply replied "the terrace". Nakku's eyes widen as she began to feel butterflies in her stomach. He knew she would try to get out of this but he wasn't going to let her this time. Naku attempted using AS again for an excuse but Dutta disregarded it saying that he saw that she was asleep. Naku then began to say something about the kitchen, but Dutta stops her to saying he knows that her work in there is over and regardless they had workers to do the work and she should not be bothering with it. Then finally she thought he would let her go if she said she was sleepy and gave it a shot. "Voh Saab, I'm sleepy" she said rather innocently. He stopped and turned around to look at her and smiled at her before turning to continue dragging her. Naku was a little shocked to learn that he didn't seem to care, or could he tell she was just trying to make excuses? "No problem, you can sleep on the terrace, actually it's nice whether out" he said carrying on. Naku couldn't believe her ears. She gave up letting him drag her and they eventually they made it up to the terrace.

Naku who was reluctantly being dragged behind Dutta suddenly walked ahead of him in amusement at the decorations that were done. It was amazing, better than what she had once did. The beaming light from the moon gave a beautiful effect to the floral arrangements. There were candles everywhere, flower petals and a simple dinner table set up for two. Her saab had did this for her and she couldn't be more happier. A single tear fell down her cheek as her heart became overwhelmed with the sight before her and she turned around to face him in delight. Dutta walked towards her and cupped her face in his hands. He used his thumb to wipe the tear lightly as they both look into each other's eyes and sees their moments up till now flash before their eyes. They both recalled their very first meeting, becoming friends, the gun point marriage, when Naku saves him and his family and when he began to formulate that he may have miscalculated things with her, then the jungle moments. Naku's hands travel up and stop over his that lay on her cheeks, as they continue to recall more moments: his proposal, her rejecting it, then her coming back, and eventually accepting it. The silence between them was speaking and conveying all the love they held within each other for the other. Suddenly Naku leans forward into an embrace that Dutta, although surprised, welcomed happily...

Realizing what she was doing, Naku abruptly and nervously breaks away from Dutta. She drops her gaze to the floor in embarrassment as he watches her amused. He sees her fidgeting hands and trembling lips where he could see a hint of a smile tug at the corner of her mouth. If it wasn't for her color, he would've surely noticed her cheeks go red as she felt herself heat up in the face. Naku avoided looking at him and instead turned herself back around to finally take in the setup of the dinner table before her. The food was already there covered by plates, there was a small thin copper vase holding a single red rose in the center of the table, a jug of water beside the vase and a single empty glass waiting to be filled. Naku was a little surprised to see just the one glass and couldn't help but smile through her blush. Dutta who was standing behind her leaned into towards her neck and spoke in his husky voice into her ears sending shivers through her body. "You haven't eaten yet" he stated in a knowing tone as Naku turned her head towards the voice in reflex and caught his face close to her over her right shoulder. Dutta turned his face away for a momen and took a breath before turning his face back to her. He met her questioning eyes as he parted his lips to speak "because I didn't eat" he finished and Naku was pleasantly surprised to hear he knows her ways very well now. However she was a little hesitant with the thought of having dinner alone with him when anyone can walk about at anytime. Dutta looked towards the table in thoughts and then diverted his gaze nervously before asking "shall we?" he gestured her with his right hand towards the table as he gently placed his left hand on her back as if to prompt her to step forward. Dutta noticed she wasn't moving and looked hesitant. "Kya Naku, you won't eat with the entire family and you won't eat with me either??" he questioned a little disappointed. Naku shook her head "aisa..." she said and paused to swallow once before continuing "aisa nehi hai saab, lekhin...agar kisi ne dekh liya toh?" she said nervously as he responded immediately as she ended "Toh? Toh kya? Who will dare say I can't have dinner with my wife?" He teased knowing this was exactly what was expected from her, hesitance that someone would see. Naku smiled lightly and suddenly felt his warm hands wrap around her wrist. "Chal" he said and brought her near the table. He pulled out her chair, and made her sit down. He went to serve the food when Naku shot up out of the chair leaning over the table to stop his hands. "I'll do it" she insisted as she didn't like seeing him do such things but he moved his hands away from hers and made her sit back down. "I'll do it" he said firmly. Naku watched him as he brought the plate forward and placed it in front of her. He then pulled his chair so he sat beside her and indicated with his eyes for her to begin. She was surprised to see he had not set a plate for himself and automatically assumed he wasn't going to eat. She didn't touch her food and he watched her expressions intently. "Naku, kha le" he pointed to her plate and waited. She looked at it and then at him as she shook her head lightly "Saab, mein akeli ..." she started to say when he cut in "nehi khayegi, pata hai" he said with a smile as he stared into her green eyes. Naku looked down for a moment as her hands fidgeted nervously. She then looked up and saw him gesture to the food with his eyes. She already knew what he meant with his remark and gathered a morsel of food and slowly brought it up to his mouth. He opened his mouth and took it happily and then took a morsel for her. They fed each other in silence while their eyes did the speaking...

As they finished up dinner together, Naku started to clean up but he stopped her and told her to leave it. He took her right hand and sandwiched it between his palms while his elbows rested on the table. "Tere haath se khata hoon, tab hi pet bharta hai" he smiled at her as she looked down shyly. "Are you tired?" he asked suddenly, she looked up curiously and she shook her head in negation. Although she was getting a little tired, she waited for him to go on as she knew he would have a purpose to asking. Of course seeing her answer his eyes gleamed and suddenly pushed back his chair back, getting up and holding out his right palm for her. She looked up at him amused and wondering what he was planning now. "Come for a walk with me?" he asked and Naku smiled at him as she placed her hand in his and getting up. "I won't keep you long, I know you're tired" he said and led her down to the garden. Both walked together as they enjoyed the moments in silence being spent. The weather was perfect, there was not many around, it felt like it was just them two in the world together and for each other forever...
