Why am I here? (Complete)

Chapter 25

I was fiddling with my new kangans when a thought came to my mind. Naina and I were chatting o. The couch when Rajveer came back with coffees for us. "Here you go," he said handing us our mugs.

"Ek baat mere dimaag me araha hai br bar, sir. Apki mom ko 6 babies chahiye tha... Apko kitna chahiye?" I asked with an impish smile.

Both Rajveer and Naina choked on their coffee at my question. Before they could reply or react, there was a knock on the door. I answered the door and found my husband there.

"Hey jaan," I greeted him with a hug, "dekho Hottie ne mujhe kya diya," I showed him my kangans.

"Bohot mast hai," he said kissing my cheeks. He then entered the room and complained, "Bhai, madad karo apun ka! Ye usool apun ka dimaag kharap kar raha hai!"

" Baitho, main coffee leke ata hu tumhare liye," Rajveer smiled when Aalekh called him 'Bhai'.

" Distract baad me hona. Mujhe mera jawab dijiye!" I demanded. Naina too looked at Rajveer in question. Aalekh just looked confused.

"I want to retire from army after we proof Naveen innocent. Mere dad ki life insurance ke money maine FD karwake rakkhe the itne saalo se. Un paiso se hum aramse apna zindegi gujar sakte hai. Naina tum chaho to apni career pe focus kar sakti ho... But I want to be a stay at home dad. Chhe na sahi par kam se kam char bachche chahiye mujhe," he gave Naina a pleading look causing her to blush.

Wanting to divert the attention from him, Rajveer asked Aalekh, "Aalekh, tumhe kitne bachche chahiye?"

"Apun ko? Bachche? Malum nehi! Apun ne kabhi socha nehi iss mamle me," Aalekh replied hesitantly.

" Rehnuma, apko kitna chahiye?" Rajveer asked.

"Hottie, aap coffee lane wale the na? Bate karne me busy ho gaye. Khair, main le ati hu," saying this, I left from there.

" Rehnuma sharmane walo me se to nehi hai to wo aise kyu chali gayi?" Naina wondered.

Aalekh also wanted to know the answer but he had a feeling that it was something they should discuss alone as husband and wife. "Usse chhoriye aur apun ka madad kariye. Aap logo ne uss Ali ko bata to diya ke bhai hi Naina ka pati hai aur phir kuch nehi kiya. Rehnuma najane pura din kaha gayeb thi aur aap dono classes me busy. Usne apun ko puch puch kar apun ka dimaag kharap kar diye," he huffed.

" Koi baat nehi. I think it's time hum tum logo ke baki dosto ko bhi sach bata de. How about dinner tonight at my room? I'll take BC's permission for you yo stay the night," Rajveer suggested.

"No, sir. Abhi nehi. Abhi sirf Ali ko bataiye aur kisiko nehi jab tak Dr. Ritu arrest nehi ho jati tabtak ye baat kisiko bataneki zaroorat nehi hai," I told him handing Aalekh his coffee.

"Toh kya socha hai?" Rajveer asked.

"Give me some time to plan something," I told him. He shrugged and nodded.

That night, Aalekh climbed the pipe of the girl's hostel to come to my room. My roommate was brushing her hair and raised her eyebrows seeing him in our window.

"Tum dono romance karo... main tv dekhne ja rahi hu. Tumhare pas sirf do ghante hai," she said smirking.

" Thanks, yaar," I beamed at her. Closing the door behind her, I turned to my husband, "meri bohot yaad arahi thi kya? Aaj yehi pe agaye?" I asked snickering.

" Yaad to apun ko hunesha hi ata rehta hai teri. Aa baith," he said patting on the bed beside him.

I pushed him back and cuddled up to him.We stayed silent, letting our hearts do the talking.
