She turned the page again and the scrap book ended.... She put it back from where it was..... And left the study room!!!

She came into her room but The images of Kabir and his mom were moving in front of her eyes ...Kabir looked so happy in both the pictures....she remembered what tai Said that Kabir was such a happy child...she thought everyone in the house says Kabir doesn't eat anything sweet where it was clearly mentioned in the scrap book that he so loved sweet dishes!!!! So does that mean Kabir left sweet dishes because of his mom....she thought

'how much it would have been tough for Kabir to cope with the loss he was such a fragile child . It was so evident that Kabir was very emotionally dependent on his mother" Erica said to herself. She felt a sudden surge of protectiveness towards Kabir..she thought smriti aunty loves Anay so much but when she was dating Anay , he never mentioned anything about his mother or even anyone , it was always like I am this , I am that and Kabir who is perceived as emotionless person has quit his favourite food because may be it reminded him about his mother!!!

She was in deep thoughts when her phone rang she picked up and saw her mother was calling after approx 2 months of her marriage....she thought of calling them but didn't get the courage because she was so ashamed she slowly picked up the call

"Hello! Mumma" Erica said

"Erica !!!! Beta how are you?" Her mother asked

" I'm good " Erica said her voice was cracking

" Beta ...I have called to invite you and Kabir for lunch tomorrow at home. We didn't even do the pagphera rasam because of all the rush...so do come tomorrow ok" she said

"But mumma!!! She said

"No questions ..come tomorrow ..we are waiting ..ok now I have to go for the preparations inform damaad ji ok!" With this she hung up the call!

Erica thought what she will do now her mother invited her with so much love but what about Kabir!!!!
---------------------------------------------------------

It was late at night ...
Kabir was reading a file standing near his work table in his office room when a knock happened on the door!!!
"Come in " he said

Erica came in ...Kabir looked up and saw Erica standing there wearing a beautiful golden nightie with a shrug. it wasn't revealing but it was perfectly fitting her curves ..her hair were open and her bare face was shining!!! Kabir 's eyes got stuck for a micro second until

" Kabir"!!!! She said

It was the first time she took Kabir's name in front of him...it felt different to Kabir!!

Raising his eyebrows he asked her to continue....

"K...Kabir my mumma called me today she...aaa...asked us to come..fffor lunch tomorrow at my home." Erica was shuttering because she knew his answer.

"Ok!!" He said casually.

Erica blinked her eyes in surprise!!! She didn't know what to do so she turned to leave...but her foot tripped over the carpet and she was going to fall but a strong arm held her waist  and pulled her towards him ,within seconds she got caged between Kabir and the table... everything happened in such a swift motion that Erica's hand went to his neck and her eyes squeezed closed... When she opened her eyes she saw herself so close to Kabir!!! He held her waist so firmly and their face was so close!!!....it was the first time when they were this close after marriage... Erica's shrug went uneven showing her neck and shoulder...she corrected it with hesitation..and then she again looked at Kabir who was just looking in her eyes Erica gulped in nervousness and thought to leave , she tried to go but Kabir didn't release her waist...she looked in his eyes with suprise.

"Be careful next time!!!" Kabir said in a deep voice ,still looking in her eyes and then slowly with his figures lingering on the fabric he left her waist....

Erica hurriedly went away...

While Kabir silently watched her leaving.......
