His sleep was disturbed due to the warm breath on his neck… He found his love sleeping soundly, hugging him, nuzzling in his neck… Was he dreaming again?? Lately he had been imagining such blissful mornings… But whenever he tried to hold her closer, she would fade away… Every time he tried to kiss her; she would disperse into the breeze… But today felt different… Was this real?? He put his arm around her and pulled her closer… She didn’t vanish… Yes, this was real… He wished the time would stop… He planted a soft kiss on her forehead, she smiled still asleep… Just when he was revelling in the feeling, she woke up… She realised their position and sat up with a jerk… “Go… Good Morning…” she fumbled… “Humari subah toh waise hi kafi sundar ho gayi hai…” he said sitting straight… She felt crimson rising up her cheeks so she turned her face away… She had teased him a lot in past few days… Now was time for revenge, he thought…
He snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her close… “Kya kar rahe hai aap??” “Aapki tamanna puri kar rahe hai…” he said with a smirk… “Hum kuch samjhe nahi…” “Hum samjha dete hai…” “Lekin pehle aap chodiye hume…” “Mann nahi hai…” “Kis baat ka…??” “Aapko chodne ka…” She wriggled trying to release herself from his hold but he pulled her even closer… “Aap…” “Hum kya??” “Aap na…” “Haan haan… Hume pata hai aap humse dur nahi reh paati hai na…” “Ji…? Aapko aisa kyu lagta hai??” “Jaha tak hume yaad hai aap couch pe soyi thi… Lekin subah toh humne aapko yaha humari baaho mei paya…” “Woh…” “Hum hai hi itne ‘irresistible’… Aapse raha nahi gaya hoga… Hum samajh sakte hai…” he said with a wink… She was embarrassed… She pushed him away harder, he let her go this time… “Aap galat samajh rahe hai…” “Toh samjhaiye…” she turned his face towards the open window… “Tanya kal raat waha se jhak rahi thi… Shayad humari jasoosi karne aayi thi… Woh toh shukar hai humari sahi waqt pe aankh khul gayi aur humne use dekh liya… Use shaq na ho bas isiliye yaha aa kar so gaye…” “Hmm… Hume laga…” “Aapko lagta bohot hai… Aur aapko bata dete hai… I can resist anytime, anywhere, anyone…” she said pointing to him… “Dekhte hai…” he said with a smirk… “Dekh lijiyega…” she said and he left to freshen up…
“Aage ka kya plan hai??” he asked… It was quite early in the morning… They had some spare time before others would make an appearance… “Kisi bhi tarah yahi rukna hai…” “Lekin kaise?? Koi wajah bhi toh honi chahiye…” “Kuch aisa karna hoga jisse Vikram khud hume rok le…” she said with a smile… He understood she had some plan up her sleeves…
“Kya baat hai Veer?? Kya soch rahe hai aap??” she asked… “Mann nahi kar raha ghar jane ka… itne dino baad toh mujhe thoda waqt mila hai… socha tha aapke saath yaha enjoy karunga… Lekin sab kuch chaupat ho gaya…” he said sadly… VG was listening to their conversation standing at the door… “Kya kar sakte hai… Mamaji ki tabiyat achanak kharab ho gayi na… Hum phir kabhi aa jayenge…” There was a knock at the door… “Are Vikram ji Good Morning… aaiye… Hum abhi bahar hi aa rahe the…” AS said… “Good Morning… Maine socha aap logon ko breakfast ke liye bula lu…” “Kyu takleef le rahe hai aap… Hum bas nikal hi rahe the…” “Isme takleef ki kya baat hai…” “Kya baat hai Vikram ji… aap kuch kehna chahte hai??” AS asked… “Kehna nahi… Dosti ka haath badhana chahte hai…” he said with a smile and stretched his hand towards AS… “My pleasure…” AS said shaking his hand… “Toh is dosti ke naate… aapse request hai… Meri aur Tanya ki shaadi attend karke jaiye aap dono…” “Lekin…” “Koi lekin nahi sunna mujhe… abhi abhi aapne mujhe dost kaha hai… dost ki baat toh manni padegi…” AS looked at HM… she smiled… “Thik hai… Ab dost ka dil nahi tod sakta mai…” AS replied… VG hugged him in excitement… “Chaliye… sab nashte ke liye wait kar rahe honge…” “Ji chaliye…” All three of them left the room…
Formal introductions were done… VG informed everyone that AS and HM would be their guests till the wedding was done… There was nothing suspicious in VG’s behaviour but both had decided to not trust him… TV was unhappy… she had checked on them last night but was still not satisfied… She had decided to keep an eye on them, but in a friendly way… She was going to stick around with HM like a leech… VG’s mother was quite impressed with HM… It seemed she was unhappy with her son marrying TV as she did not meet her expectations of an ideal daughter-in-law… MG Gill was not fully convinced… He found the attack on his son fishy… AS had read the questions and suspicion in MG Gill’s eyes… He was going to onboard him on the mission very soon… But currently they had two tasks at hand: to wait for TV’s next move and to keep pretending to be a happy couple…
HM saw TV sneaking out of their room… HM hurried back outside before TV noticed her… She found AS talking to VG… “Veer… Ek min aaiye toh…” she said… He excused himself and came to her… She held his hand and dragged him to the terrace… “Humne abhi Tanya ko humare room se nikalte dekha…” she whispered… “Kya…??” “Shhh… dheere boliye na…” “Kya yeh baat use pata hai ke aapne use dekh liya hai??” “Ji nahi… Hum chup gaye the… Hume lag raha hai usse humare upar abhi bhi shaq hai… Kahi usne kamre mei microphone ya camera toh fit nahi kiya hoga na??” “Lag toh hume bhi aisa hi kuch raha hai…” “Lekin uske shaq ko dur kaise kare?? Hume laga tha kal raat uska shaq dur ho gaya hoga…” she said worried… “Natak ko thoda badha chadha ke karna hoga…” he said holding her wrist and pulling her close… she was shocked “Kya…” “Shhh… Tanya dekh rahi hai…” she composed herself… “Bohot khush lag rahe hai…” “Khush toh mai hun Sona… Aapke saath itne dino baad thoda waqt mila hai bitane ko…” he said loudly… HM pretended to blush… He saw TV walking away, he decided to tease HM a little…
She had challenged him today morning and he was not going to lose it… Her saree was going to help him… He put his hand on her bare waist and pulled her closer… His cold hands on her warm skin caused electric current to flow through her… With his other hand he slowly put her hair behind her ear, they were blocking his view… She closed her eyes; his proximity was affecting her… He moved towards her ear and whispered, “Aise toh hum aasani se jeet jayenge Haseena ji…” She realised what he was up to… She gently pushed him and ran away to their room leaving behind smiling AS…
