"Ha Papa" He said handing me a bathrobe.
"Tumne Evara ko dekha?" Papa asked.
"How does he know?" Nevan whispered with widened eyes.
"Oh God! Dekha matlab....Kahi dekha aise puch rahe hai" I explained.
"Oh! Umm....Ha Papa, She is taking a shower" He said and I smacked his head.
"OUCH!" He whined.
"KYA???" Papa literally shouted out of shock.
We heard footsteps and soon the 'thud' of the door was heard.
"Besharam" I muttered.
"I am not naked baby, you are" He whispered and left me all flustered.
I quickly changed and walked out to be met by Mumma and Maa Sa.
"Kya hua?" I asked.
"Your Dad is traumatized" Maa said and my eyes widened.
"We were just talking, Nevan panicked and spoke rubbish" I cleared.
"Waise kya socha, jaana chahti ho?" Maa Sa asked.
"Nahi, Nahi jaa sakti mai. Pehle hi bohot bigaad diya hai sab kuch" I said.
The door opened and Nevan walked in.
"Yeh layout dekh lo please, Akram wali school ka hai. Acha lage toh kal se hi kaam start karte hai" He said handing me an IPad.
"Poore 15 classes bhi nahi hai, principal office chhota karva lo thoda sa. Yeh meeting room ki kya zaroorat hai? Class mein bhi meeting ho jayegi aur first floor pe bhi classes banwa lete hai. Ho sakta hai bacche badh jaaye" I realised he wasn't looking at the layout but me.
"Kya?"
He leaned closer and pecked my forehead.
"Kuch nahi, aage bolo"
"Bas itna hi" I smiled and handed him the iPad.
"You are doing great work Evi" Mumma said.
"It's my responsibility Mumma" I replied with a smile.
"See? Now you'll understand the real meaning of responsibility" Maa Sa said and they both left.
Suddenly Nevan cupped my jaw and angled my face towards him as I was sitting and he was standing.
His lips touched mine in a soft and slow kiss, I kissed back and he smiled as always.
"Kal pooja rakhva rahe hai, school ka kaam shuru ho raha hai isliye. Maa, Papa bhi yaha hai aur Avyan, Vardaan, Chachu, Chachi Canada se nikal gaye hai. Designer ko bulaya hai, saree choose kar lena aur mera kurta bhi" He said and left immediately.
He is pulling me so close that I am getting dependent on him in a good way, I no longer want to talk to anyone. Just him, his words and his voice.
"Bhabhiiiii Saaaaaa...Bhai Sa ko khud kurta mat choose karne dena" Radhya warned resting herself on my lap.
"Unke kapde hum choose karne wale hai, aap chinta na kare" I said making her laugh.
"Evara" I heard Dadi Sa's voice and immediately got up to greet her and so did Radhya.
"Sit young ladies" She said making us chuckle.
"Bohot acha kaam kar rahi hai aap, humne itne samay mein nahi socha jo aapne ek din mein soch liya. Hum sochte thhe ki shayad Nevan ko patni toh mil jayegi par humein Rani nahi mil payegi, aapne humari mushkil gayab kardi. Bhagwan kare aap aur tarakki kare" She blessed and was about to leave when Parag ji came running.
"Khamma Ghani Dadi Sa Hukum" He greeted.
"Ghani Khamma Parag" Dadi greeted back.
"Rani Sa, Hukum Sa ko chot lag gayi hai. Aapki zaroorat hai" He said and I immediately got up.
"Kaha par hai?" I asked as he pointed towards the study.
He was sitting on the chair, a little droplet of blood was visible on his finger.
"Kya hua?" I asked cupping his face.
Papa, Mumma, Baba Sa, Maa Sa and all others came running to the room. Nevan glared at Parag and adjusted himself in the chair uncomfortably.
"Aap log pareshan na ho, apple kaat te hue lag gayi zara si" He said and a fit of laughter erupted.
He pouted sadly hiding himself behind me.
"Mai bandage laga du?" I asked and he gave a nod slowly.
I brought a small bandage and wrapped it around his finger while everyone tried to control their laughter.
"Sirf Evara ko bulane bola thha, poora Ghar kaise le aaye?" He asked looking at Parag.
"Dadi Sa Hukum ne sunn liya aur sabko bata diya" Parag explained and finally I couldn't control my laughter.
I laughed and he glared at me like a baby.
"Bas karo sab, Nevan ko rest karne do. Lag gayi hai bechare ko" Dadi Sa teased with a chuckle and they all left.
"Did you choose the outfits?" He questioned.
"No, the designer hasn't arrived yet" I replied.
"Ekaant" He said and Parag left.
He pulled me on his lap slowly and started feeding me an apple.
"You could've asked me to cut the apple" I said.
"Can't trust you with knives or blades" He replied and guilt built up in me.
He was cutting an apple for me, He is a King. He should not be doing such stuff but yet he did.
"Why?" I questioned nestling my face in his neck.
"I haven't forgotten the morning incident. I never thought I'd find a blade again" He said and I regret my actions now.
"I am...I am Sorry Nevan!" Our forehead touched, he caressed my cheek with his thumb and pecked my lips.
"Don't you dare do this ever again, I've never felt so helpless in my whole life" He spoke as a tear left my eyes.
It was a tear of joy and happiness, I matter to someone. Someone loves me and respects me more than I deserve, he is scared for me and somewhere I feel the same for him. He is giving me a new identity without vanishing my old scars.
