SOFT SUNRAYS DISTURBED HM'S SLEEP...IT WAS LATE MORNING...SHE QUICKLY GOT UP AND LOOKED AROUND...SHE CLOSED HER EYES AND THE NIGHT'S EVENT FLASHED IN FRONT OF HER MIND...SHE TOOK A DEEP  BREATH AND DECIDED TO GO UPSTAIRS...

SHE SLOWLY ENTERED THE ROOM...HER EYES TRAVELLED FROM THE SOFA TO THE BED AND FINALLY TOWARDS THE BALCONY...AS WAS NOWHERE...SHE FROWNED...HER EYES WERE SEARCHING FOR THE MARRIAGE FILES...SHE SILENTLY WALKED IN...

SUDDENLY SHE FELT SOMETHING PINCHING HER SOLE...SHE STEPPED BACK TO SEE THE NUPTIAL CHAIN THERE...SHE UPLIFTED IT...SHE LOOKED AT THE SHINING CHAIN AND INVOLUNTARILY CLUTCHED IT...SHE FELT AS'S PRESENCE AND QUICKLY TURNED TO SEE HIM STANDING JUST BEHIND HER...

SHE COLLIDED WITH HIS CHEST AND HIS HANDS TRAVELLED TO HER WAIST...SHE GASPED AT HIS TOUCH...AS PULLED HER TOWARDS HIMSELF AND THEN STEPPED BACK...

AS : ( LOOKING SIDEWAYS ) SHRINGHARDAN KE KINAARE MEIN DHAR HAIN...CHOT LAG SAKTI HAIN...DHYAAN DIJIYE...

HM TURNED A BIT TO SEE THE SHARP EDGE OF THE MAKEUP TABLE...SHE HASTILY HID THE NUPTIAL CHAIN FROM HIS VIEW AND NODDED AT HIS STATEMENT...SHE HURRIEDLY WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM...


HM WAS ARRANGING THE CLOTHES IN HER ALMIRAH WHEN AS COUGHED TO GRAB HER ATTENTION...

AS : ( FUMBLING ) YEH...SHAYAD AAPNE BANAWAYA HAIN...( HANDLING HER A PHOTO FRAME )

HM  FROWNED AND TOOK THE PHOTO FRAME...IT WAS AMMI'S PHOTO...HER EYES SUDDENLY BRIMMED WITH TEARS...SHE LOOKED UP TO CONTROL THEM...

HM: HAAN...HUMNE BANAWAI HAIN...JAB HUM YAHA PHELE DIN AAYE THE TAB...( AS LOOKED AT HER TEARY EYES AND STARED DOWN...HE QUICKLY HID SOMETHING BEHIND HIS BACK WHICH WAS NOTICED BY HM ) KUCH AUR BHI HAIN?

AS: AAP...KIJIYE APNA KAAM...HUM CHALTE HAIN...

AS DELIBERATELY MADE AN EXCUSE AND WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM...BUT HE SILENTLY STOOD ON THE DOOR TO WATCH HM...HM WAITED FOR HIM TO GO OUT...SHE RAN HER FINGERS GENTLY OVER AMMI'S PHOTO...TEARS BEGAN FLOWING THROUGH HER EYES...AS COULD NOT WATCH HER CRYING SO UNCONTROLLABLY SO HE WORDLESSLY DEPARTED...

HM WIPED HER TEARS AND KEPT THE PHOTO ON THE SIDE TABLE...SHE WAS SURE THAT AS HAD LIED TO HER ABOUT THE THING HE HAS HID UNDER THE QUILT...SHE COULDN'T FIND THE REASON BUT SHE WANTED TO CHECK IT...SHE SHEEPISHLY MOVED THERE...SHE WAS ABOUT TO UNCOVER WHEN SHE HEARD SOME NOISES FROM THE ADJOINING ROOM...


HM SLOWLY MOVED TOWARDS THE ROOM AND SAW ARYAN AND AS FIGHTING OVER SOMETHING...SHE DECIDED TO OVERHEAR THE CONVERSATION...( OILING CHECK KARNE 😆)

LISTEN ANUBHAV...EK MINUTE MEIN SAB KHATAM HO JAYEGA...

AS : BAHUT ZIDDI HAIN HUM...JO HOGA DEKHA JAYEGA...

AS STRONGLY HEADED OUT OF THE ROOM...HM QUICKLY RUSHED TOWARDS HER ROOM AND SAT ON BED...PRETENDING TO DO SOMETHING...IT HAD BEEN AN HOUR AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF AS...SHE PEERED THROUGH THE DOOR WHEN SHE SAW AS COMING INSIDE...

AS CAME AND KEPT A LANDLINE ON THE SIDE TABLE...HM INSTANTLY LOOKED AT HIM...HE TOO GAZED BACK...

AS : AMMI KA NUMBER TOH SABKO YAAD HONA CHAIYE ? ( HE DECLARED )

HM TOOK TIME TO PROCESS HIS WORDS...WHEN SHE UNDERSTOOD SHE STARED INTO HIS EYES TRYING TO FIND DECEPTION IN HIS EYES BUT THOSE EYES WERE PURE...SHE SLIGHTLY SMILED...

HM FELL SHORT OF WORDS...SHE INSTANTANEOUSLY TOOK THE PHONE AND DIALLED AMMI...AS DECIDED TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM...HM'S HEARTBEAT WAS GETTING FAST WITH EVERY MOMENT...FINALLY, AMMI ANSWERED THE CALL...

HER HAPPINESS KNEW NO BOUNDS...ARYAN AND AS WERE STANDING ON THE DOOR...ARYAN SAW AS TOO SMILING...HE PUT HIS HAND AROUND HIS SHOULDER...
