Rapunzel

"Sumoo..Sumoo"

"Kya hai itni subah subah kyu chilla rahe ho?"

"Mera hair wax kaha rakh diya hai tumne.. kal shaam ko to yahi tha"

"Chupaya hai"

"Chupaya hai? Kyu?"

"Kyu matlab tum koi court thode na ja rahe ho... Chalo be natural at least for this"

"No way I am going to run with messy hair Sumo..."

"Shravan hum marathon daudne ja rahe hain.. party me nahi... Please aise hi chalo na"

"Yaar ek to ye bhaag daud tum karva rahi ho sabse jabardasti.. You know I don't like running I am more a weights guy.."

"Stop complaining at 4 am in the morning.. And let's go.. Tumhe abhi tumhara hair accessories dungi to tum aur adha ghanta lagaoge.."

"Adha ghanta.. Madame I am always ready before you"

"Oh please... tumhe sirf baal banane hote hain aur usme bhi adha ghanta lagta hai.. I am sure rapunzel ko tumse kam time lagta hoga baal banane me!!" she chided and he took the bait..

"You know what you are jealous.." it was his turn to attack now

"Kya mai kyu jealous?"

"Haan tumhe to pata hai ladkiyo ko mere well set baal kitne achche lagte hain isliye you don't want the entire city to see me like that..." he smirked... Looking at her expressions it looked like he was winning the fight

"Apne aap ko bade hero samajhte ho na tum.. nahi deti tumhara mousse... Aise hi aao aur batao kitni ladkiyaan marti hain tumpar"

"Challenge?"

"Huh... Haan ok challenge!!"

She reluctantly accepted... The Shravan that she knew in school and even up till their wedding... Formal wedding... Was different...this one was dangerous to deal with sometimes..

"Aap dono ready hue ya nahi we all are waiting outside" Pushkar finally walked up to their room and barged in

Shravan POV

Pagal ladki... marathon ko family picnic bana deti hai... I dont know how they all fell into this trap. Fortunately the elders bailed out this year after being unsuccessful in completing even the half marathon last year.

So now all the young couples have been practicing for a month...

Good idea though I got to chase her around the track at the public park a lot and pull her behind a looot of trees .. once even getting caught by the Shahs' who were mortified and I did not see them in that area of the jogging track afterwards...haah good times.

So now I am sitting in a minivan next to her my hair a mess.. I hate it this way and Sumo I swear you will pay for this heavily!!

End of POV

They were in the huge parking lot and everyone else had moved along.. Shravan was waiting for something.. As soon as it was only him and Sumo in the car.. he pulled off his T Shirt ...

"You are NOT running wearing just that!!"

It was a black colored running vest over his grey track pants thankfully he wasn't going to reveal his long legs.

"What? You cannot dress me up like a mannequin... You picked how the hair goes.. now I decide how everything else goes!!" he said wiggling his eyebrows and she had to give up as there was no winning this argument on time.

They stood along with thousands at the beginning of the track and she was not paying attention to anything going around... her entire attention diverted on checking the hundreds of ladies who in turn were checking out her husband!! She didn't even take a look at Sachin Tendulkar!!

"Hey Suman!!" a hand came up to rest on her shoulder and Suman shot up to look who it belonged to.

"Akash Mehra !!" how did you find me? Sorry yaar I wasn't able to respond to your ping last night"

"Arre yaar tumhe to mai laakhon mein bhi dhund loon!!" her flirty marathon buddy winked and Shravan glared

"Shravan this is Akash.. He is in my marathon whatsapp group. We run together for the past 1 year now"

"Hi" Akash the chirpy clingy one chirped and Shravan gave a smile set in stone.

"Shravan Malhotra her husband" he pressed the guys hand a tad too tight making him wince.

"Oh yeah.. Finally we meet. You run as well?.. cool. He isn't there usually right Suman?" Akash asked..

"I am just now taking a fancy to running.. You'll see more of me around from now on" he replied giving an icy glare to the guy..

"Alright Delhi...get set go!!" the announcer declared and the event began.

Suman was too engrossed in making time till halfway down when the screens caught her attention... He was put up on the screens like a Poster boy for the marathon for an entire minute...!!

She was so going to lose this challenge and only because Shravan had cheated !!

She made it to the end but not in her usual time and was sulking over it...

"Haaye marr gayi.. Suman.. Ye kya kya karvaati ho yaar tum sabse.. Vaarun.. Ab mujhe utha ke le chalo ghar please"

"Vandy.. Mai bhi bhaaga hoon... I think tum mujhe utha lo aaj"

"Varun!!!" Vandy shouted making everyone to laugh as a huffing preeti finally came up to them almost an half hour after everyone else!!

"Huh.. di.. Kyu.. mai .. agli baar.. Nope.. I won't run.."

"Preeti tum bhaagi kahaan tum to chal ke aayi" Vandy said the truth and everyone split in giggles again.

Suman was in a bad bad mood as not just girls but even ladies kept coming up to Shravan to get themselves introduced or just to check him out from afar!! She finally held his hand and took him to the car.."Baitho aur ghar chalo"

"Jealous!!" he smirked as he scooted into the seat next to the driver.

At night -

"Sumo.. see took only 15 mins !!"

"What?"

"I said I took 15 mins to set them see.. Not 30 !!"

"Tum obsessed ho apne baalo se Rapunzel.." she said rolling her eyes at him

"Well, I like to keep them well set. Lekin dekho aaj to bikhre baalo me sau dedh sau ko giraya hoga maine" he winked jumping onto the bed next to her to see what she was doing..

"Gussa kyu ho?" he asked looking at her face which was slowly starting to glow red

"Ye... ye dekho." she showed him the touchpad and he laughed his head off.

The marathon news section on two of the news channels showed a picture of him in the black vest and messy hair as he finished the race ..both having female authors.

"Congrats you are the official poster boy of the entire city !!" she said with a nasty glare

"Ha ha tum mujhe sadu kehti ho..khud kitna sad rahi ho dekho"

"Shravan!! Agar next time se tumne ghar ke bahar kam kapde pehne to taange tod dungi tumhari..Rapunzel kahi ke.."

"Ha ha jalkukdi kahi ki.. Waise I won the challenge hands down this time!!" he was still laughing.

"Hmm" she said and scooted off from the bed with a sad face..

"Sumo.. kya hua itni upset kyu ho rahi ho this is a joke"

"No it's not a joke.. Kaha tum aur kaha mai.. Why did you marry me? I am not as hot as you are" she said turning her back to him

He shook his head in disbelief and walked upto her..

"Sumo.. idhar dekho" he turned her around to face him and wiped her tears with the pad of his thumb

"Did you marry me just because I look good by popular standards?"

"No.. you are my best friend and I love the person you are.." she replied thoughtfully

"Then you think I should be shallow enough to look at only your pretty face and hot body which I swear are both true statements.."

"Noo... but.."

"Tumhari jabaan jitne speed se chalti hai utne speed se jara dimaag bhi chalaya karo na.. Sumo I have been crazy for you since I knew you in a plain school uniform , bullying me!! Because then also I knew this side of you which was amazing ..caring, concerned for the people you love enough that you could fight for them like you always fought for me..ye chashma chod dene aur gym jaane se jo bhi hai.. You loved me the way I was back then too.. Didn't you"

"Hmm.."

"Then how could you say such a thing."

"I am sorry for feeling that way."she snuggled into him.."But sach batao you find me hot?"

"Haven't I proved it ample in the past 2 years of out marriage?" he asked raising a brow..

"If you need more then yes...Hot enough even in that sack you wore today morning that I could punch the stupid marathon buddy you made.." his expression changed in a moment.

"Hey..He is a nice guy"

"He touches you again he is dead!"

"He placed his hand on my shoulder to make me turn to him!!"

"That is touching!!"

"So you will follow me to all marathons in future to keep an eye on him?"

"Isn't that what I told him exactly"

"Are you for real?" she was amazed

"Yes.."

"Over protective" she sighed she did like it though...

"Jealousss !!" he jumped back into bed checking the news article..

"You!!!"

"You still need to give me something for winning today's challenge"

"You cheated.. Ang pradarshan kar ke jita hai tumne" she argued only to be pulled quickly underneath him

"Chup..bilkul chup.."

"Kyu chup.. You cheated so nothing you will get.." she was actually kicking away in protest..

His eyes changed again desire visible in them which made her gulp..

"I... am tired with all the running..." she replied still trembling as his hand now caressed her waist sliding underneath her cami

"Tumhare baal kharab ho jayenge" she was surprised that her sentence actually came out straight as his finger trailed the vein on her neck going up to her collar bone tracing the path to her left shoulder pushing the strap of her cami to a side.. making her shiver

"I don't care" his thumb traced her lips making her gasp...

"Ss...sach me kharab..." his hands lightly grazed her cheeks making them burn with a profuse blush

"Shrr. shr.."
