Anuradha- sachi bol rahi hu Haseena...hum kl raat se pehle date nahi kar rahe the...bas flow flow me aankhe mil gayi kal...
(She pesters her best friend again but still she has a frown on her face)

HM- kitni baar bole Anu, nahi hai hum tum se naraaz, balki bahout khush hai. Ab tum mere peche ghumna chodo or jao nahao fatafat, Airport k liye late ho raha hai.

Or haan waise toh hum Hardik ko warn kar denge. He is a good guy but tujhe pareshaan kiya na toh mujhse bura koi nahi (she smiled while stirring poha for her breakfast. It was 4 a.m., she had an early morning flight to Dehradun)

Anu- Khuch hua Haseena? Tera mood off kyu hai?

She sighed and turned to her bestfriend. Anuradha stepped in and hugged her stroking her back gently.

HM- Anubhav ka transfer hogaya hai. Delhi. 6 months.
Hum kaise kahe unse ki hum nahi chahte woh jaaye? Mission ki baat alag hoti hai...lekin yu transfer? 🥺

Anuradha hugged her tighter.

Anu- tu bhi transfer kyu nahi leleti? Govt. jobs me saath posting milti hai na?

HM- possible nahi hai Anu, MPT se humara transfer hi mushkil hai or agar ho bhi Gaya toh Anubhav IB HQ honge, jaha family entry bahout restricted hoti hai.

Anu- ye bhi time hai Haseena...nikal hi jayega. Bas thoda sa patience...hmm?

"Hmm", she absent mindedly agreed but will this long distance be so easy? When at the end of the day they will have time to lay free of work, think about each other...which was not in case of his missions where he was always occupied with some sort of work and she always kept herself busy in work, being positive and praying for him.

The idea of long distance was scary because of the insecurities, longing and desires attached to it.

"Hardik", Anuradha nudged him dropping the idea of flipping her hands through his hairs. It would be too cheesy when they have just shared their feelings yesterday.

"Radha", she smiled at the nickname. "Bas 5 min do abhi bas aya, phir tumhe drop kar deta hu", he sat up straight in a flash.

"Koi zarurat nahi hai. Tumhe bhi wapis Jana hai drive karke 3 ghante...or Thane bhi phir. Mai bas bye bolne aayi thi", she lightly hugs him.

"Lekin"

"Anubhav drop kar raha hai mujhe. Soye hue 2 ghante bhi nahi hue tumhe. So drop the zid", she said sternly...and he knew he will be the latest addition to totally whipped partners in a few days.

"Radha?", His voice sounded vulnerable. "Wait karogi na mera?"

Anuradha moved in front, one of her hand still at his back the other the other one cupping his cheek. "I know hum dono ki dating life is se pehle fucked up thi...You need time, I need it too...lekin ha zyada slow bhi nahi haan...warna sachme hum dono ki Umar ho jayegi", she laughed.

"Ek condition par wait karungi...ki mahine me atleast 2 baar milna padega. Chahe Dehradun or me at your place?"

"Done. Kaho toh Anubhav-Haseena ke ghar ko secret place bana le? Khudke Mummy - Papa se door?"

"Nahi", she elbowed him.

"Ouch"

"Anubhav meri permanent katti karwadega Haseena se", she frowned. "And he interrupted something good yesterday", she blushed. He lazily raised his brows. His lips landed on her cheeks. It was good they didn't kiss yesterday. He never wanted it to be a heat of the moment act.

She raised her face to his till their breaths mingled and then backed off.

"Bye", she kissed his head and tucked him back to bed.

"Ache se rest karke hi Jana"

"Hmm...or tum ek baar flight land karne pe or phir Ghar pahuchke phone karna"

"Okay Mr. Hardik"

"Bye Miss. Anuradha", he shook his head.

When Anubhav returned dropping Anuradha, he found Haseena sleeping in the living room. Anubhav slowly sat next to her. The conversation he had with Anuradha was surely troubling him about her.

"Haseena upar Chalke so jaiye", he massaged her head to wake her up. She passed him a soft smile and went to her room.

AS- Haseena (he caressed her cheeks while she laid)

Haseena turned to his pillow observing him closely. His gaze was making her vulnerable and she didn't want to bid him crying. He had to leave on 3rd January by a night train.

HM- galat tricks istemal kar rahe hai apni wife pe
(She hid her face snuggling on his neck)

AS- or aap? (He stopped her from kissing him)

HM- Hume rula ke hi manege aap? (She rested her chin on his chest) hume acha nahi lag raha. 6 mahine, kam time nahi hota Anubhav. Bhale hi hum deshbhakt hai lekin hum ye nahi bhul pate ki duty ne humse kya cheena hai. Humare Abbu, Humara bachpan or kayi baar aapko...Haa mission nahi hai ye lekin humari pehli Holi...sakrant, Humari first Anniversary Tak me bhi hum sath honge ya nahi ye nahi jante hum.

AS- aam insaan ki tarha sochane me koi burai nahi hai priye...(he wiped her tears that fell of her eyes) I promise jab bhi sambhav hoga hum flight, bus, train khuch bhi lekar yaha ajayenge. Kosish karenge aapko bhi ek-do baar visiting permission dilva paaye.

I love you...and I promise ye distance humare relationship ko affect nahi karegi. Or aap hi kehti hai na aapko pyaar me sab experience karna hai?
Toh ab ye long distance ka naya romance bhi azma lijye.

He smiled at her.

Haseena - I love you too...Aur haa jaane se pehle humare saath chaat date pe chaliye aaj.

AS- ok ma'am...or khuch?

HM- bahout khuch hai. Kal aapke liye sukha nashta banana hai, track suits ki shopping karni hai.

AS- bahout hai humare paas.

HM- bahout tab lagta hai jab Roz dhulta hai. Washing Machine nahi hogi waha or pure din field pe rahenge. Subha paseene me bharke shaam ko pehn ne ka man bhi nahi karega (she chided)

AS- acha acha theek hai.

Haseena raised herself on her elbow and kissed his head, following down to his eyes, nose and chin. His cheeks turned a little red. He touched his finger to his lips demanding a kiss.

Her hands sculpted along his cheek. Soon, after her initiation he took over, flipping her, kissing and making love like there is no tomorrow.

Maa- sari musibat ki jad Tera boss hi hai

Ammi- Agar woh Desh bhakt nahi hota toh mujhse gaali hi sunta

AnuSeena- Ammi😳

Maa- mai toh keh rahi hu behen ji usne jaan bujh ke jaldi retirement liya hoga...

Ammi- haa haa ekdum, bas bhane dhondhta hai mere bacho ko pareshaan karne ka.

Maa- mai toh shraap deti hu ki is Umar me usse pyaar ho or woh aurat isse bahout bhagaye.

Ammi- is Umar me kyu kisi aurat ki zindagi kharab kar rahi hai aap behen ji...uske...uske na is thand me jue lag jaye

Haseena giggled at their conversation. Anubhav shook his head but then smiled, how much he was going to miss these 3 ladies. A pang growing in his heart for having to live away from them for so many days.

Upcoming- Yeh Dooriyan
