The lunch at Pooja's place finished without any further slip of tongue from nupur, but she did feel fumes radiating her body seeing the way mayank greeted ishita a good bye, and mayank sensing it, awarded his wife with a deep kiss, as soon as they were in the car, but before she could be back to normal, mayank gave her another blow.

"where do u have to go now?", nupur frowned as mayank told her that he had to go somewhere and she should get off the car as they had reached their flat.

"where mayank?, I'll go with you", nupur crossed her arms across her stomach and stubbornly said.

"nupur!, stop being a child, come on get off I need to go, I am getting late", mayank replied irritated.

"but from where has this meeting popped all of a sudden, u didn't mention when we were at Pooja's place, then ..

"nupur!!", he glared, cutting her statement and fumbling, nupur pouted and turned her face away. She started brushing her nail over the glass window and mayank took a deep breath, "nupur, sweetheart get down, I am getting late", he tried to say politely but nupur was in no mood to compromise.

"mayank can't u cancel this meeting?", she suggested , biting her lip and mayank frowned further, "nupur!, you are getting down or should I leave u here and go in a cab instead, for God sake behave reasonably!!"

"why are u shouting?", nupur asked grimly and mayank finally lost his cool, "I am shouting?, you are behaving like a stubborn child for no reason, behaving like as if you are afraid to go home alone because it's dark!, I mean give me a break nupur , why ..

Suddenly his words fell short because one look on nupur's face told him that this was the exact thing she was fearing.

"are u fearing dark?", he said slowly, grabbing his hand in her lap and she nodded, "yes mayank . I .. I just ..", she fumbled trying to look here and there and mayank inwardly scolded himself for being so stupid,

"but it's okay, you don't seem interested in helping me out, I'll .. ", she tried moving her hand, but mayank held it more tight, "do u promise not to create a fuss while I complete my meeting and will wait like a good girl?", he leaned towards her seat and she looked in his eyes smiling, "I promise to behave", placing her lips on her fingers, she sat straight and in total awe of her cuteness, he kissed her cheek, "okay then!", changing the gear, they both were on the way to the mayank's meeting.

The meeting was in a famous five star restaurant, "nupur u have coffee or something and i'll be back in an hour okay", he again kissed her cheek and nodding obediently, nupur followed him into the main seating area of the restaurant.

Mayank's clients were already there so passing her a warm smile, he went to their table and nupur sat down on a table, right infront of his table, from where she could view him easily.

She ordered coffee and cupcakes for herself, and took out her mobile to kill time. She tried playing all those boring games for a while but all of it distracted her, when the surroundings of the restaurant started to fill with the melodious voice of Iio.

I never knew a love

A love that could be sweeter

Nupur raised her head and her eyes unconsciously went to mayank. He was reading a paper, his eyes were fixed and fully concentrated. A smile graced her monotonous serious face since the past while and munching on the sweet mulberry cupcake, she decided to serve her eyes a feast of mayank's handsome features. Biting her lips, she smiled inwardly on how desirable he was looking with that serious workaholic look. No doubt nupur had used her brains and mind to marry him.

No matter what my mind says

Your music gives me fever

Apparently finding materialistic benefits in the marriage, her heart did started to intervene, presenting things what her heart himself was feeling, and it came again, seeing mayank's facial muscles relax in a slight smile, which was aimed at one of his clients, and here her own smile vanished, replaced with a flutter.

The moment that we danced

Your arms felt like a cradle

The lyric writer had done a tremendous job, she thought, what perfect use of similes. Arms like a cradle made her sigh and she shifting her eyes from her face to his arms, which he had folded across his chest and was attentively listening to his clients. The feeling of those arms, the nearness of his body was a drug, but she went breathless when the song moved forward and said

And when you took my hand

I was no longer able

Without any second thoughts, his way of holding hands was serene and divine, as if he could pull away sadness and fear from just that touch. He is one in a million, she smiled and was still looking at mayank, when he shifted his eyes and their gaze met ..

It never felt so right before

I need to be with you much more

Mayank smiled back, his trademark warm and affectionate smile and nupur felt the blood doubling in her veins, she smiled even more wide and the moment went still for a while before nupur shifted her eyes away. Maybe blush took over and taking a deep breath, she tried calming her nerves and raised her head, but sight made her blush more. Mayank was shaking hands with the clients, and within a few seconds, he was walking towards her table, flashing his heart ' embedding smile ..

I can't believe this kind of fate

We can runaway

"I am back", he sat by her side, leaning very close to her, and his scent drugged her nerves, "on time hubby dear, I had just started to miss you", she winked and sensuously rubbed her fingers over his hand, but mayank's mind stopped over her words about missing him.

I hope that I'm not dreaming

If I am let me stay asleep

"are you sure you are my wife and I am not dreaming", he leaned closer, almost whispering and giggling nupur moved away, "I think I should pinch you", she was about to pinch on his arm when he caught hold of her hand and tightly gripped it.

Don't wake me up I feel complete

I never want to feel it end.

Nupur raised her eyes to look deep in his eyes. Normally she was very brave and casual about this act, and used to look away before any trance, but today it didn't happen the normal way.

What a lovely moment

I wanna give you my love

Overtime

The trance lasted until mayank slowly kissed her knuckles, "you seem different today", he whispered, observing her, and she looked away,

I wanna be right next to you

Overtime

"I don't seem different, just this song is beautiful", she looked back at him smiling and not at all convinced from her reason, he held her hand and just then she longed to own the feeling she saw in his eyes,

I wanna be in love with you

Overtime

She blinked her eyes immediately under his penetrating gaze, and fumbled. The lines told what she wanted, she wanted her eyes to sparkle with love just the way mayank's eyes did. It must be wonderful to feel that way., but before mayank could sense the tornado in her heart, the song provided nupur to conceal her feelings for the time being,

I wanna make love to you

Overtime

Nice lyrics hun?", she said innocently, controlling her grin and chuckling mayank held her hand tightly and leaned on her ear to whisper sensually, 'lets go home".
