Sonakshi's hands trembled as she unlatched the door to their apartment; she peeped inside to make sure no one was awake. Once the coast was clear, she tip toed into her bedroom and turned her night light on. Thankfully, Samaira was fast asleep. It was 2 in the morning; Sonakshi had never come home so late. She cursed herself for getting carried away by Rehaan and his charm, "kahin mamma-papa ko shaq na ho gaya ho," she muttered under her breathe and went to change in the bathroom.

As she changed into her night clothes, her mind wandered with the events of the evening. Her lips still tingled at the spots Rehaan had kissed and nibbled them. Her upper lip was a little chafed from Rehaan's thick stubble; she touched it gently and applied some lip balm on it, "hey bhagwan yeh mujhey aaj kya ho gaya tha.....kabhie sapne mein bhi nahin socha tha ki main kisi ko apne itne paas aane doongi......why do I lose control of myself when I am with him?" At the same time, she blushed as she caressed the spots he had touched on her neck and arm; she would do anything to be with Rehaan once again.

She walked out of the bathroom and noticed the CD covers of Rehaan's album lying on Samaira's desk. Her heart started racing when she felt his presence in her room, even if it was just on the cover of an album. A little pang of jealousy crept inside her; she picked the albums and hid them in her closet. She justified, "Samaira ke liye toh out of sight, out of mind hoti hain sab cheezein......kal tak bhool jaayegi in CDs ko." Sonakshi felt bad, as she had never tried to trick her sister before, but somehow she rationalized her action by saying.....Rehaan par sirf mera haq hai.

Sonakshi spent another restless night; she drifted in and out of her dreams where she and Rehaan were on the beach, hand in hand, laying on the soft sand....and then lost in a deep and passionate kiss......she woke up with a startle and touched her lips; she was sweating profusely. She got up and got herself a glass of water.

"Sonakshi? Tu kab aayi?" Samaira woke up.

"Bahut der ho gayi.....bas paani lene gayi thi," Sonakshi lied as she had barely been back half an hour.

"Sonakshi jhooth mat bol...aur wo bhi mujhsey?" Samaira retorted, "I saw you walk in the door."

"Sorry...I didn't want to disturb you," Sonakshi felt ashamed of herself, "mujhe thodi der ho gayi thi," she said softly.

Samaira yawned, "high time Sonakshi! I am glad you are living life now...chal ab light off kar de, mujhey subah kaam par jaana hai."

Sonakshi was surprised, "kaam par? Kal Sunday hai! Tu kab se Sunday ko kaam karne lagi?"

"Yaar, apne khadoos boss ko impress karna hai...bas.....warna main aur kaam?" Samaira stretched again and plunked on her pillow.

NEXT MORNING:

"Samaira...itni subah kahan jaa rahi hai? Main chaah rahi thi ki tum aur Sonakshi aaj subah mandir chali jao.....aaj navratri ka pehla din hai......aaj ka din bhagwan ka aashirwaad milna shubh maanaa jaata hai," Asha came out of her puja with her thaali and prasad.

"mamma...mandir wandir ka kaam Sonakshi hi kar legi....mere liye toh aap aur papa hi bhagwan hain," Samaira hugged her mom and ran out the door, 'bye mamma...bye Sonakshi.....bye Papa....wish me luck.....I hope mere boss aaj khush ho jaaye mujhsey."

Asha shook her head, "yeh Samaira hamesha bachhi hi bani rahegi, jaa Sonakshi tu hi yeh Prasad mandir mein chadhaa de," she handed the thali to Sonakshi, who folded her hands and did as she was told.
