Ansh OS - Kaise bataye, kyun tujhko chahe

When she entered KB, nobody seemed to there. "Nathu Bhaiya" Anandi called out.

"Haa bhabhijee" Nathu came running. "Sab kahan gaye hai, koi dikhayi nahi de raha, aur Shiv aa gaye?"

"Haan bhabhijee, Shiv bhaiya toh apne kamre main hai aur baaki sab CM ki behen ke waha gaye hai, kisi kaam se" Nathu recalled.

"Thank you Nathu bhaiya, sab ne khana khaya na?" A asked.

"Haan bhabhijee, chinta mat karo, maine sab ko pet bhar ke khana khilaayaa" Nathu smiled. Relieved, Anandi climbed the stairs to her room.

"Shiv" Anandi entered.

"Aa gayi aap" Shiv got up putting aside his lappy. His face lit up looking at A.

"Kaisa raha aapka din?" He lovingly caressed her cheek and took her working bag, inspite of A's resistance.

"Bahot accha Shiv, kitna zaroori hai aurato ke liye apni sehat ka khayal rakhna. Is campaign ke zariye, hum unhe ek bahot hi mahatva poorna sandesh pahucha rahe hai, hai na" A's eyes lit up.

"Absolutely" Shiv said nodding his head, "awareness lana is a must aur aap ek bahot hi ahem zariya hai logo tak yeh message pahuchane ka" Shiv looked proudly at A and stroked her cheek. A blushed.

Suddenly, A grimaced and caught her head. Shocked, S looked at her with concern. "Kya hua Anandi?" He held her hand.

"Woh Shiv, thoda sa sardard hai, par theek hojaayega" A comforted S.

"Aapne kucch khaya Anandi?" Shiv asked with concern.

"Jee waha conference ke baad, khaane ka intezaam kiya tha".

Shiv gave her a thoughtful look.

"I think mere paas aapka sardard chutkiyo main gaayab karne ka ilaaz hai...Head massage" Shiv winked and pressed her hand.

"Chaliye lait jaayiye, main abhi aapki maalish kar deta hoon". He took her by surprise.

Hesitant, A responded "Shiv, Nahi Shiv aap rehne dijiye, yeh apne aap hi theek ho jaayega, itna bhi dard nahi hai." Anandi put forth a forceful smile.

"Shush, Anandi, apne aap kaise theek hoga, aap zid nahi karengi." S got to work and got the balm out.

A held S's hand. "Shiv sach main, rehne dijiye, aap se seva karwaaungi, toh mujhe paap lagega na" A bit her lip.

"Offo, meri pyaari patnijee, aapki seva karke mujhe kitna punya milega, yeh bhi toh sochiye?" S winked. "Waise aap bahot hi zyaada cute hai" S pulled her cheeks lightly.

"Aur aap mera kitna khayaal rakhti hai, main itna bhi nahi kar sakta aapke liye, aapki seva karna mera farz nahi, haq hai". S continued.

"Par Shiv..."

"Shhh.." S put his finger on her lips. "Aap behes nahi karengi, is waqt main aapka doctor hoon aur aap meri patient, so no Par-war" S mocked in a stern manner.

S pulled a lump of the balm. A kept staring at him lovingly and finally laid down on S's lap.

"Good girl" S approved.

Slowly, S applied the balm on her heaqd and started the massage. A closed her eyes. Slowly and steadily, S circled his fingers around her forehead. Anandi heaved. Her headache seemed to be reducing the minute S laid his fingers on her. It was very soothing.

S caressed her hair and continued with massaging. After a few minutes, he pulled a strand of her hair, which had fallen on her face, away. And then he stopped for a moment.

A opened her eyes and found S staring intently at her. S came out of his train of thoughts and restarted the massage. Sensing his thoughts, A smiled. "Bahot accha lag raha hai Shiv, aapke haathon main sach much main jaadoo hai, thank you husband" A pressed his free hand.

S looked her warmly and with a naughty glint in his eyes, he started tickling with his fingers on her forehead. A got startled and chuckled.

"Waise, aap kya soch rahe the Shiv?" A asked him. S looked up and said "yahin ki ek patnivratha pati hona kitna mushkil hai" S grinned.

S smiled and bent down to give her a sweet little peck on her already red cheek. A closed her eyes, to savour his breath and his touch and to get lost in the moment. Was he for real, she wondered.

Slowly she opened her eyes, collected herself together and said -

"Sahi kaha aapne Shiv, kabhi kabhi shabd kam pad jaate hai ehsaas baya karne ke liye." A gulped. " Aap mere liye kya hai, yeh aap khud hi samaj jaayiye" A said in a coy manner, letting the tears run down.

Finally, she got up and before S could react, she hid her face in his chest.
