It was a beautiful morning and the sun was shining bright...Kashish slowly opened her eyes and saw Sujal infront of her...She smiled with a satisfaction that he was there with her and she was asleep in his arms...She looked at him for a minute and then looked back at the clock...She saw that it was 7.45 am and she quickly got up and was about to go when Sujal held her hand and pulled her back and she fell on top of him...

**********************************************************************************

It was now 7.30 in the evening when Sujal rings the doorbell but Kashish didn't open.........He tried again but still no answer so he decided to open the door...He walked inside and put his coat and bag on the sofa and was calling out her name...He went and checked the bedroom but she wasn't there....He decided to call her mobile...He called her mobile but no answer...He decided to try in a while...It was now 9pm and he had tried her mobile almost 20 times but still no answer...He was now getting really worried and pacing the room looking at the door everytime he heard a car...Kashish comes and opens the door .........she was surprised to see Sujal home early today but more he was right there waiting for her in a panic condition...........

Kashish: Sujal........tum kab aaye.......

He just walked upto her without saying anything and stood infront of her....He looked really angry...

Sujal: kahan thi tum ab tak?

Kashish: Sujal.....kaha thi matlab woh purane ghar pe thi.......woh aaj maine kaha tha na ki jyada kaam hai to dair ho gayi.........

He now looses his temper completely and shouts at the top of his voice..

Sujal: main yahan tumhara 7.30 baje se tumhara intezar kar raha hoon aur tum ghar par nahi thi.............Tumhe kuch 25 baar call kiya par tum phone bhi nahin utha rahi thi.........Kamsekam ek phone to kar diya hota............Tum itni gair zimmedaar ho sakti ho muje pata nahin tha!............

Kashish: Sujal......woh...main.....

Sujal: Kya woh main.........agar mobile uthana hi nahin hota to rakhne ka kya faida.......main yahan pagalon ki tarah tumhara intzaar kar raha tha par tumhe to koi fikr hi nahin hai..........

Kashish: Sujal woh main.....

She started to cry with a very broken heart and ran to upstairs to her room.......she threw files and her purse on the bed and ran to terrace and sat on the swing and started to cry because she was still not believing that this was their first real argument...........

He stood there for a minute and closed his eyes feeling guilty for what he did...He banged his hand on the wall in anger...He then calmed down and took some food upstairs...He looked around for her in the room but she wasn't there...He saw she was sat on the swing...He put the plate down and walked outside and sat next to her...He placed his hand on hers...

Sujal: I'm...I'm sorry Kashish...Maine kuch zyada hi bol diya ghusse me aake...main bohat pareshan ho gaya tha kyunki tumse baat nahin ho pa rahi thi...main bohat frustrate hogaya tha...

He went closer to her and held her face in his hands...........He wiped her tears and hugged her tightly and running his fingers to her hair to calm her down...

Sujal: I'm really sorry Kashish...muje tumhe dantna nahin chahiye tha...ab please rona band karo........

Kashish: chodo muje Sujal....muje is bare me tumse koi baat nahi karni...koi is tarah kisi pe chilata hai....ek bar bhi muje bolne nahi diya........

Sujal: maine sorry kaha na Kashish...main janta hoon kuch zyada hogaya lekin ab tum muje aisi saza dogi meri galti ke liye...

Kashish seperates her from him and looks at her and smiles.......

Kashish: tum bahot bahot bure ho.....

Sujal: Jaanta hoon...aur tum bohat achchi ho......

Kashish: tum achche ho Sujal.....bahot achche ho is liye tumse koi naraz bhi nahi reh sakta..........

Sujal: hume kissi aur ki parwah kahan...hume bas aapki hi parwah hai...ab chalo khaana kha lo..........

Kashish: muje nahi khana.......

Without saying anything further he gets up and picks her up in his arms...He carries her inside,making her sit on the bed...He went to the side table and brought the plate...

Sujal: ab chup chaap khaana khao

Kashish: kaha na muje bhukh nahi waise hi tumhari dant se mera pet bhar gaya.......

Sujal takes some food in his hands and brings it towards her mouth...

Sujal: Chalo muh kholo...

she smiles at him and opens her mouth and he feeds her..

Sujal: Thats like a good girl...apni narazgi khaane pe nahin utarte...

Kashish: main ab thik hoon chalo neeche chal ke dinner karte hai.......

Sujal: ek shart pe..

Kashish: kaun si......

Sujal: Tum muje apne haathon se khilaogi....

Kashish: hmmm........thik hai......

He smiles at her and she smiles back...She gets of the bed and was about to go when he held her hand...

Sujal: ek minute...tum zarra yeh plate pakdo...

She takes the plate from him and he picks her up in his arms again and smiles at her...Then he carries her down to the dining table...

Kashish: Sujal.......ab to muje neeche rakho......

Sujal: Hmmm mann nahin ho raha....main tumhe aise hi uthata hoon aur tum muje khilao...aisa kaise rahega.........

He winks at her

Kashish: Sujalllll........

Sujal: thik hai thik hai utarta hoon na neeche...

He places her on the ground slowly still looking into her eyes and smiling at her

Kashish: Sujal........ab muje aise dekhna bandh karo.....aur betho......

Sujal: Ab tumhe dekh bhi nahin sakta...

He folds his arms and begins to sulk

Kashish: ufff......

she holds him by his shoulder and than made him sit down.....He just smiles at her...

Sujal: achcha ab muje jaldi se khaana khilao...bahot bhookh laggi hai..........

Kashish smiles at him and than feeds him with her hand......and he feeds her too...both continue to have dinner together....................

**********************************************************************************

after the dinner Kashish comes to their bedroom where she sees him working on the laptop.........

Kashish: Sujal ple aaj meri thodi si packing me madad kar do main bahot thak gayi hoon........

He closes the laptop...

Sujal: thik hai...bolo kya karna hai muje?

Kashish: hmm...pehle tumhari packing kar dete hai kyunki muje waqt lagega......main yaha bethti hoon tum muje apne kapde aur tumhara dusra saman do main thik se rakh deti hoon.........

Sujal: achcha thik hai...

She sits down to pack whilst he passes his things to her one by one

Kashish: tum apne mobile ka charger her bar bhul jate ho......

Sujal: tum jo ho yaad karane ke liye...

Kashish: ab baatein kam aur do muje .......

Sujal: Haan deta hoon na...

He goes and gets the charger and passes it to her

Kashish: ab tumhari packing ho gayi ab tum apna kaam kar sakte ho....main apni packing kar lungi........kyunki tumhe nahi pata hoga kaunsi cheez kaha hai.........

Sujal: haa to tum muje deti jao aur main yahan rakhta jaunga..

Kashish: thik hai betho......

He sits down on the bed and she stands up finding her things and passing them to him..He was placing everything in the bag but when she turned around he'd hide her things behind himself...

Kashish: aisa kaise ho sakta hai........maine abhi meri paayal yaha pe rakhi........lekin nahi hai abhi yaha.........

Sujal: yeh khud se kya baatein kar rahi ho.......kya dhund rahi ho tum........

Kashish: maine abhi khud yaha pe apni paayal rakhi thi ab nahi hai......tumne kahi dekhi ......

Sujal: shayad kisi ko pasand aa gayi ho aur usne leli ho....

Kashish: tumhare alawa aur kaun hai yaha........

Sujal: Haan to woh koi main bhi to ho sakta hoon na..

He takes out her payal from the back and shows it to her with a smile...

Kashish: Sujal.......kya bachpana hai........ab rakho ise bag me..........

Sujal: Bachpana kahan Kashish..muje wakay me pasand hai...

He begins to play with her payal... She snatched the paayal from his hand and put it in the bag and than again goes to the closet to get her saree but when she came back the paayal was gone again........

Kashish: Sujalllllll.......

She looked at Sujal who had a mischievious smile on his face...He brings the payal infront of him again showing it to her...

Sujal: Waise yeh payal tumne li kahan se?

He started to laugh...

Kashish: shimla ki market se.......ab do muje........

Sujal: hmmm hmmm...Itni asaani se nahin dunga...

Kashish: Sujal dona.......

Sujal: Kaha na nahin dunga...

Kashish: to tum nahi donge.........

Sujal: Nahin...main nahin dunga

Kashish: Sujallllllllllll

She took the pillow and started to hit him....He grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him and quicly rolled over on top of her holding her hands down...

Sujal: Kashish.........tumhe sharam nahin aati apne pati ko maarte huye...

Kashish: tumhe sharam nahi aati apni patni ko pareshan karte huye........

Sujal: Nahin...Bilkul nahin aati...aur main kuch bhi karsakta hoon...

Kashish realised what he is talking about and more on the position she was in.........she lowered her eyes........

Kashish: Sujal...woh.....

Sujal: shhhh.......

He began to move closer to her........She couldnt take it any more and she closes her eyes....... He just looks at her and slowly began to caress her face with his hands whilst moving his face closer to hers...As he came closer to her, he could feel her heart beating faster...As she felt his breath on her face her lips began to tremble...He just couldn't take his eyes of her...: She slowly open her eyes and just realised what is going to be happen...she smiles at him and pushed him to get up but he doesnt let her go.....

Sujal: Kahan jaane ka irada hai?

Kashish: Sujal....woh......woh packing karni hai......

Sujal: Packing bhi hojayegi...Pehle tum apne pati ko to kuch waqt do............

Kashish: Sujal....ple jane do........

Sujal: Jaane dun to muje kya milega?

Kashish: Sujal.....ple aaj jane do...........

He lets go of her hand..

Sujal: Lo....Jaane diya...

He gets up and goes into the washroom to get changed......... She was so embarred and she doesnt want to think about so she quickly puts her things in the bag and closed it and than she took out her night clothes from closet and waiting for him to come out........he comes out of the washroom and looks at her...He notices her looking down and not being able to meet his eyes...He just walked past her and lies down in bed...

She goes to washroom and comes out all changed and she put the alarm in her cell and lie down beside him putting her head on his shoulder while holding his hand.........He put his arms around her and smiled...He whispered..

Sujal: Goodnight jaan...

Kashish: goodnight......

He kissed her forehead which made her close her eyes and they both fell asleep in each others arms carrying a beautiful smile on their faces...
