"So, what's your plan for Sunday?" he asked again. She shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. No plans. Maybe bohut time tak soyungi. Fir uthke dekhtihu." She said making him rolled his eyes. This girl and her sleep.

"That's mean you have no plan for tomorrow." He tried to confirm.

"Mmnnhuuu" she meant No. Taking another spoonful soup. 

"Good. Then you are all mine tomorrow." He said making Shehnaaz choked on the soup. She gulped down the void painfully hearing him. She looked at him.

She is all his!!! Is he taking her somewhere?

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Simple. We will be together all day tomorrow. I'm taking you somewhere." He said and took a spoonful of Dal and rice. Making Shehnaaz off guard.

'Did he just ask me for a date? Oh my god. He is asking me for a date. A real date Sana!!! With him!!! I don't even remember when the last time I have gone on a date. I just can't believe this is happening. What I have thought of this relationship and what it is turning out. But a date!!! Is it too soon for it? He just asked me a chance yesterday. I haven't even answer yet. Urrghhh what should I say now. Stupid Sana!!! Practically he is your husband and there's nothing wrong going on a date with this handsome man. But now if he is taking a step towards me, I should take it right??? Or I should think a little more... Ohh Godd!!! Stop thinking so much about everything and let it loose girl!!" she took a deep breath and made her mind.

"Okay!!!" she said it taking time to think all that. He waited for her answer chewing on his food. This man has patience. A handsome man with patience. Such unusual combo. Not a bad deal to seal. She smiled inwardly with her own thought. She like it about him. "Where are you taking me?" she asked.

"You'll see, Baby." He said giving her a smile which made her cheeks go red. Sidharth was surprised to see this Sana.

'What? Is she blushing? Her chubby cheeks turned red hearing me. Okay!!! then this girl is shying for me!! That's too good to be true. She is definitely trying for this relationship. She is trying for me!!! Trust me Baby! You won't regret. I will turn every stone if needed to make you happy. I will', his gaze was fixed on her. She looked so beautiful with her flushed cheeks.

They both finished their meal. Shehnaaz took and put all the dish to the dishwasher. She came back take the empty boxes of foods but Sidharth already held all the boxes on his hand and he went to the kitchen and put them all in the waste bin. Then for her surprise he started picking up the dishes from the washer and put them on the rack.

'Kya ye wohi Sidharth the spoilt child in household hain na? jisko kuch bhi kaam nehi karna hota hain!! Arreh wahh, ye janaab to sudhar gaye.' Shehnaaz waited and looked at him working.

"Well, aaj peheli baar Aap kitchen me. Aur wo bhi for doing these." She said from behind him. He looked at her and again looked back on the counter. Keeping everything right on place.

"Haan, because our helping hand was not coming and it can be difficult for you to do all these alone. But don't worry. I have called her to come tomorrow, at morning. Clothes and dusting. We will be home tomorrow morning." He finished along with his work as well. She moved back when he turned to get out from the kitchen. He gave her a smile and walked towards their room leaving her behind.

Shehnaaz felt good. He thought about her and did all the work to help her. She followed him. He was already in the bed with his laptop in his hand. She walked to the other end and got in the blanket. Resting her back in her backrest. Just like Sidharth was sitting.

"Kya karr rahe hain?" she asked when he didn't even look at her for long looking only on the laptop, typing something. He looked at her.

"Huh?? Ohh.. Just checking some files from the hospital." He again looked on the screen.

"Patient ke?" she asked wanting to know as it was late at night. And he sleeps at this time normally. It was almost 12.

"No, Hospital ke official papers. Hospital bhi hamara hain na!! So I have to do these as an owner. Checking clearance of all the stuff members, maintenance etc. Again I serve as a doctor too when I'm at the hospital doing my work as a doctor in the hospital." He explained to her as she was a child. He smiled inwardly on his own behavior. He didn't keep this calm and explained anything to anyone like this for long...

"Isn't that too much for you?" she asked thinking about the amount of stress he takes in regularly. He looked at her.

"I'm used to it now. I have always been doing this." he said and got back on his work.

"Fir bhi. Kuch jayada nehi hain? This might tire you up!!" she said and he smiled, understanding her concern. She never asked about his work before.

"I have people to do most of the things. But then there's something that only I have to handle. Just give me some minutes and it will be done." He said and finally stopped typing.

"Finished for today." he turned the laptop off. Placing it on the side table near him and lied down and pulled his gray duvet on him.

She followed him and pulled on her pink one. Facing each other. Her one hand under her cheek and one on the bed between them. Sidharth mimicked her position placing one hand under his cheek and another one beside her hand between them. But he didn't touch her hand. Last night he slept holding her hand. Today they both felt an emptiness of that. She wants him to hold her hand like last night. That's why she placed her hand between them. She wanted him to take it.

Sidharth was looking at her continuously just like she was!!! They weren't shying away today. He wanted to sleep holding her hand but some thoughts stopped him. He doesn't want overbear on her. Last night holding hands, today lifting her in arms. He had a concern on this. Though he haven't seen any discomfort on her but he is a gentleman and he doesn't do anything with a girl without getting a consent. She always gives him comfort about it like in the elevator she herself didn't want to get down. He knows she also wants this. But there was always one percent chance, she might feel him overbearing on her.

Shehnaaz saw him just staring at her, not saying anything at all. He looked like he was engrossed on some deep thought. He is thinking something deep, definitely about her. She can sense that.

"Kya soch rahe ho?" she asked. He got back from his thoughts. Taking a deep breath he asked what was bothering him and what he wanted to be sure about!!

"Am I being overbearing on you???"
