Okay, so this is the last update for this month because my semester final exams are going to start from 22nd of April and I will be really really busy. Just wish me luck!

With a smile on her face, the dreamy kind of, Maya was swinging in circles on the chair swing that was set up in her balcony. It's been two days that she had been back from the Lonavala photoshoot and since then the smile hadn't left her face.
She had spent that night with Sahir in his room having sex whenever the need arose. But that wasn't the part that had her feel so much happy and satisfied. It was that in his arms that she found solace and such peace that Maya Mehrotra who has been suffering from insomnia from the past 20 years, fell asleep without taking any sleep-inducing medicines.
It had happened only twice in her life. First, it was with Arjun when she slept in his arms forgetting the world and its difficulties and the second time, with Sahir. With Arjun it was love, she had already been in love with him but with Sahir, she didn't know what was it that gave her such peace and a sense of security that she could fall asleep without any problem.
Maya's smile widened as she blushed thinking about the connection that she and Sahir shared. He was beginning to become something more for her; she wouldn't dare call it love because the pain from Arjun's betrayal was still there, lingering somewhere and hurting her sometimes but Sahir's presence in her life was having this healing effect that she was getting addicted too.
It was as if he touched her and she was being healed.
Maya giggled at her thoughts as she swung around in circles on the swinging chair that she was sitting on. To Jhanvi, who was observing her daughter, the sound of her laughter felt like music to her ears. She was happy to see her daughter happy.

The residents of Chaudhary mansion were shocked out of their wits when they witnessed Sahir not only painting something again but also singing. He was also tapping his feet and moving his arms along the tunes of Tu Itni Khubsurat Hai*. Tarini, Zaki, and Alvira were watching Sahir sing, dance, and paint at the same time with such a beautiful smile on his face that had vanished after Arzoo left him.
Alvira had tears of happiness running down her cheeks while Zaki and Tarini were curious as to what or who was Sahir painting now. Curious, they sneaked inside Sahir's room and came to stand behind him. Zaki was astonished to see that Sahir had painted yet another painting of Maya while Tarini couldn't help but smile like a Cheshire cat.
Sahir had painted Maya in a bridal attire this time, taking inspiration from the Lonavala photoshoot look. The only difference in the actual look and the painted was the color of the bridal lehnga that Maya was wearing. For the photo shoot, the attire was as per the theme, in the colors of white and gold but Sahir had painted Maya dressed in a red and gold bridal lehnga. And damn! It was looking gorgeous.
"She really looks beautiful in red, no?" Tarini whispered from behind, a mischievous smirk on her face.
Sahir sighed, his facial features softening, "She does! I wonder why is she...." and then came the moment of realization that he wasn't alone.
Tarini and Zaki stared at Sahir with raised brows and matching smirks on their faces, "Yeh kya ho raha, arre yeh kya ho raha hai?" they sang the song from the movie Hum Kissi Se Kum Nahi, the lyrics being quite apt for the situation. Both the parts of the lyrics, even the ones that weren't sung by Zaki and Tarini.
"What are you two doing here? Don't you know it's bad manners to sneak into somebody's room like that?" Sahir tried to cover the painting, wanting to hide it from Zaki and Tarini.
