At two o'clock, Shantanu's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself nestled against Isha's warm body. Her gentle hands cradled his back, even in slumber. As he gazed at her, his eyes lingered on the crimson marks his love bites had left on her neck. His fingers instinctively reached out to trace the tender spots.His stomach growled, breaking the spell. Shantanu carefully extricated himself from Isha's embrace, ensuring not to disturb her. He slipped out of bed, his eyes never leaving hers, and padded softly to the kitchen.
The silence of the night enveloped him as he began preparing a snack, his thoughts drifting back to the woman sleeping in his bed. A gentle smile spread across his face, his heart filled with affection.
Isha's eyes fluttered open to the tantalizing aroma of cooking food, shattering the silence of the midnight hour. The empty room and Shantanu's absent form sparked curiosity. She slipped on his shirt, the soft fabric enveloping her like a gentle caress, reaching down to her thighs.
As she entered the kitchen, the sight of Shantanu took her breath away. His jeans-clad figure moved with fluid grace, his muscles rippling as he expertly juggled pans. The scratch marks on his back, souvenirs of their passion, sent a flutter through her chest.
Isha's smile spread wide as she approached him, her bare legs padding softly on the floor. She wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek against his back, feeling the warmth of his skin. He asked,
— Uth kaise gayi?
— Bartan ke sound se neend khul gayi. Tum kya karrahe ho?
— Bhukh lagi thi, to khana bana raha hu.
— Isiliye bola tha khana kha lo... Zyada filmy ho gaye the na... (Mimicks his tone) Mera khana mere saamne hai! Abb samajh aaya...
Shantanu smiled and pulled her infront of him and backhugged her. He said,
— Waise aise aap mere saamne aayengi to main phirse khana chorke apko khane laag jaunga!
— Tum kuch zyada nahi ho gaye ho!
— Bilkul nahi.
Isha flipped and stood straight looking towards him and pointing a spoon at him, she said,
— Abhi taak biwi nahi bani hu main apki!
Shantanu pulled her towards himself and said,
— Main to abhi banalu... Waise bhi aap hai to meri hi.
— Kya sabut hai?
— Abhi phirse apko khake batau? Kaise chillati hai aap mujhe apne paas sorry andar lene ke liye...
— Hau, Shantanu...
Shantanu understood his wife got angry. He ran with his life but Isha was no less. Isha ran behind him. Their laughter made the whole flat happy and indicated how much they were in love with eachother.
*****************
Rao Saheb's eyes widened as he watched the compromising video footage on his computer screen. The montage revealed Isha and Shantanu's most intimate moments: playful quarrels, tender kisses, and affectionate gestures. However, the video abruptly cut off at the bedroom door, a frustrating reminder of his failed attempt to install surveillance cameras within. Rao Saheb's face twisted in anger and disappointment. His sinister plan to exploit Isha and Shantanu's relationship had hit a roadblock. The absence of bedroom footage denied him the leverage he desperately sought.
Shantanu ko hamesha meri use ki hui cheez hi mili hai. pata nahi kaise itni acchi aurat isko vau dene laag gayi! Kher, iss baar main Shantanu ka use kiya hua cheez lunga. Isha chahiye. Saree mein jitni khobsurat lagti hai usse zyada to sirf shirt pe lagti hai. Main soch taak nahi pa raha hu ki bina kapdo ke yeah kitni khobsurat lagegi! Saab zaldi karna padhega.

Savi cuts the call leaving Ishaan in his prem puran.

Isha and Shantanu slumbered peacefully, entwined in each other's arms, their hearts filled with joy and contentment. The soft glow of the moon cast a serene ambiance, enveloping them in a sense of security and love.
But unbeknownst to them, darkness lurked on the horizon, threatening to disrupt their blissful haven. The shadows of fate whispered secrets, foretelling a tumultuous future that would test the strength of their bond.
