"Preeti it's 11 am. Wake uuuupppp!!" Chachiji came to Preeti for the 8th time, this one yelling louder than a loudspeaker used for election campaign.

"What mummaaa!!" Preeti exclaimed.

"Are you a crocodile who can stay still in one position for hours?"

"Don't you think of waking up early and doing some productive things?"

"Everybody have finished their half of the works of the day and this girl is still sleeping like a log!"

"You're getting married now how do you think you'll manage your responsibilities? If this is going to be the case Pandit will spend his half of the day with other lady who wakes up early and does the household chores with him"

"Oh hello I'm not marrying for doing household chores, he'll do all of them. And also, he came to me requesting for marriage not me" Preeti exclaimed flaunting her hair.

Bela sat down indulging herself in some serious thinking when she got a nudge from Preeti "oh where are you sleeping?" She asked.

"I was thinking, is Pandit really not that person anymore? Who always used to be with ladies around him, who never came home at night and spent his father's money like it is not a big deal earning them! Who used to call bar and club as his second home?" Bela asked alarmingly.

Preeti sat down beside her and without any tint of doubt on her face she declared "No mumma he is completely changed now, I have seen him transforming all of his bad habits to good one just for the sake of marrying me.." her eyes glistened.

"And you know right Naina agreed for this, which means there's no chance of doubting him!" Preeti concluded.

"Yes right, that's why we said to have good friends. Sameer and Naina's company changed him to a better man"

"What about me? No credit at alllll?" Preeti exclaimed and was pushed into her bathroom soon after without getting any satisfactory response from her mother.

********************************

As the winter sun rays fell onto Sameer's face which made him uncomfortable to sleep, he opened his eyes and turned away from the source of light. He looked at Naina with his half opened eyes and hid his head inside the crook of her neck demanding extra protection from any source of light.

Naina woke up only to find Sameer sleeping like a baby hiding his head inside hers. She caressed his hairs, and felt him near to her after a long long time.

For past 6 months, Sameer rarely even slept beside Naina. She was all alone 90% of the time. It would be an understatement that she missed him, but along with missing him she busied herself with house works interacted with everybody she could but still found herself bored few of the times. Adding to which she started attending dance classes, writing blogs and what not. She did not disturbed anyone or got depressed, she found her own world which kept her busy in good things diffrent from normal people who would've passed their time just gossiping here and there.

Thinking of all those months, her eyes went wet but she softly blinked her eyes so many times that it didn't fall. Despite of doing all this she didn't receive the amount of relaxation, the kind of meditation, the type of satisfaction she was experiencing now.

"Wake up" she whispered giving a peck on Sameer's head.

"Hmmm" he replied and tightened his grip around her soft skin.

And she waited for him, in no time Naina too passed out, she couldn't resist the warmth from making her asleep.

*******************************

Preeti got dressed and made her way out to 'Tress Trendz' salon. Wearing a stylish top with asymmetrical cuts, pairing it with leather pants and chunky jewellery made her ready for her new job as senior hair dresser in one of the top rated salon of Ahmedabad.

'Click-Clack' her high heels made the sound and she entered the salon taking a diva attitude inside.

She started walking having everyone's eyes fixated on hers and suddenly...

The strap of her backpack broke and fell with a thud. Yes it was a thud sound. A customer ran towards her with his half shaved beard and tried to lift the bag up with one hand but failed.

Preeti stood there fixing her clothes and waiting for him to handover her bag. It took him nearly 1 minute to perfectly balance and hand her the backpack. Preeti thanked him with a smile and hanged the bag on her right shoulder. It was so bulky that she couldn't stand straight and bent herself towards right side, her personality clashing with her style now.

The person finally asked her, "what is there in this bag have you filled stones in it?"

Preeti gave him a side look and said "None of your business" thinking of the his father's 4 layer steel lunchbox her mother has packed for her with 1 litre steel water bottle inside it.

She placed all her stuffs at one place and went to meet the owner of the salon Kangana Mittal who interviewed her and was impressed with her previous works.

As she ascended to knock the door, she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey gorgeous let's meet at my home tonight"

At one moment she thought to backoff from that moment and the other moment she was inside Kangana's office only to see her on Pandit's lap.

Not waiting there for one more moment, she left the salon without even taking her stuffs. She reached home as soon as possible. Bela opened the door and saw her daughter with blood red eyes because of crying hard and a red pale face.

"What happened Preeti?" Bela nearly shouted out of panic.

"As you told in the morning.. he'll spend half of the day with other lady!"
