Chapter 162

PART 59


2 days later :

Shilpa set changing the diapers of the twins while Naina paced in the room..
"So you mean to say from two days there is no news about him.. Didint i tell you , he must have left by now.."
Shilpa sighed and shook her head.. "I really dont think he has left.."
"Wait a minute " Naina interrupted loudly.. "Why are you sounding so miserable, i thought you will be glad he isint here.. "
Exactly.. Shilpa thought miserably.. I should be glad he is gone.. " Forget Armaan Mallik. Today is the first day of my job and i need to be there on time.."
Naina gave a nod and then frowned.. "But what about the twins.. ?? Are you going to take them to day care.. "
" I dont find comfortable enough to keep them in day care.." Shilpa protested.. So i have asked Ms.Sharon to take care of them while i am gone.."

Shilpa arranged the pillows carefully near the two sleeping babies.. Staring down at them she caressed their cheeks and gave a light kiss on each's forehead.. " I will miss you guys, But i have got to earn some money to feed you.." She sighed getting up.. "Mommy loves you both.. "
"Ms. Sharon i really hope i am not disturbing your peace by bringing the twins here.. "Shilpa spoke hesitantly moving towards the old women who set in the rocking chair. The lady was strict but good at heart. And since she was her neighbor, she was the only person who would take good care of twins..
Sharon got up from the chair and scoffed.. "Shut up young lady. I love those two angels they will be very much safe with me... I assure you that.. Now get lost from here arent you getting late for the clinic.. "
Shilpa smiled hearing the motherly scolding she did everytime she saw her.. No matter how strict or rude she would act , Shilpa knew her children were safe with this golden heart lady..

He noticed her walking out the house and hid himself near the wall. So this was the house where she had left the babies.. Seeing her attire he assumed she was going for a job. And this was the perfect opportunity to start his plan without her knowledge.. With a devilish grin he walked towards the house whistling..
"Good morning Miss... " Armaan's voice faded off as he noticed the old women who opened the door glaring at him.. He took a step back and smiled nervously.. "Hello "
Sharon narrowed her eyes at him.. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here.. "
His eyes grew wide as he heard her strict voice.. Ohh man Why did he have to confront this old women with foul language..
Hesitantly he told her about him.. She shook her head and tried to close the door on his face.. He protested trying to move inside.. "Is this the way you welcome your neighbors.. ?"
She passed a nasty glare trying to nudge the door close which he held firm..
"When did i want to welcome you even.. You are forcefully trying to welcome yourself inside.. "
"Exactlyyy " Armaan grinned and walked inside the house while she kept shouting throwing nasty curses.. The old bat.. He rolled his eyes and moved around the hourse trying to find where the babies were..
"I will call the police.. " She shrieked out loud as he got on the steps... "Come back here and get lost from my house!!! "
"Oh really " Armaan turned back rolling her eyes.. "If you call police i wont hesitate telling them about the broken fence on the yard , surely the neighborhood counselors might have told you to repair but you have left it as it is.. "
The old lady fumed at him but didint say a word.. Armaan grinned knowing that has really scared her.. Least she had any idea police doesnt take any action for a broken fence..
He opened the door of the bedroom and peeked inside slowly.. The sight infront of him made him quiver in nervousness and excitement.. On the bed lay the twins sleeping innocent.. He moved forward and set on the bed trying to get a closer look of twins. They just looked like him, he could figure that out as he had seen his own childhood pics. They were much chubbier which he had guessed. Grinning happily he caressed their soft cheeks which his knuckle... They were both identically similar.. As he stared down at them longer , his eyes grew misty. They were both his children.. My sons.. The pride grew in him realizing the truth.. Slowly he took one of them in his arms and hugged him close. The baby sank within his big arms and let out a soothing noise.. With the other hands he picked up the second one , same way hugging him close. Adjusting them safely on his both shoulders he rocked them softly humming.. A slight tear rolled from his cheek as he realized he was living the dream once he had seen. The dream of being with his kids. Holding them close in the security of his arms.. A dream which he had thought will never come true was now the reality.. Now i just have to take care of the mommy.. He decided as he got up from the bed heading to the door..

"WHATT !!! " Shilpa stood stunned as Sharon paced around the room in anger.. "How can you let some stranger take away my babies.. " Shilpa protested loudly as Sharon came forward.. "That man just came in and walked inside the house forcefully.. I even threatened him that i will call police.. But he said if i do he will complain about my broken fence.. "
Shilpa shook her head trying to keep herself calm. Who was the man, was he a kidnapper who had taken away her twins.. Fear kicked inside as she spoke desperately.. "But who was this man.. ?Do you have any idea.. "
"Ofcourse i know him, He told me himself.. " Sharon sit on her chair coolly.. "He is the new neighbor who have shifted to the house beside yours.. " As Shilpa tried to leave Sharon spoke loudly.. " And he claims he is the father of your babies.. !! "

"Armaan Mallik " Shilpa hissed in anger as she made her way to the house beside hers. Standing there infront of the door, gritting her teeth she gave a loud knock.. Impatiently she started to pound on the door yelling... "Armaan Mallik open this door right now.. "
Slowly the door opened and Shilpa grew stunned as she stared at the man infront of her.. Armaan stood there wearing a faded jeans , his shirt openly showing his toned body..Grinning at her he winked with a sexy smile.. "Hey lady "
Shilpa stared at him surprised by his behavior. For a minute if she avoided looking at his face she may think this was some other man. What had happened to the Arrogant Armaan mallik who was always angry.. Shaking her head she tried to speak when he interrupted.. "Just because i am your neighbor, if you think you can come and ask favors from me then ur wrong sexy. Right now i am very busy So BYE ! "
She gasped as he closed the door right on her face.. Inside Armaan started to laugh recalling her stunned face.. He stared down at the twins who were busy playing with their new toys. They seemed happy and content which surely made him take a breath of relief.. Again the pounding started on the door followed by her shriek.. This time the twins stared up at him with a worried look.. " No worries kid. Its just your crazy mother on the door.. "
Again he went and opened the door, this time she tried to walk inside when he blocked her way.. "Ahhh not so fast love. First you have to seduce me to get inside my house.. "
Wrong dialogue.. He mused as she stared at him glaring in anger.. Gritting her teeth she tried to move past him.. "Give me back my kids.. "
Armaan frowned rubbing his neck.. "As i recall there are my kids too " Again he started to smile.. "Stop torturing your small mind, go back to your house i will bring them to you in 10 minutes.. "
With that he closed the door on her face once again.. Shilpa screamed out in frustration which only made him laugh harder.. Cursing him under her breath she stormed off back to her place in anger..

"Say GoodEvening MOM !!!" Her throat went dry as she opened the door and stared at the three of them infront of her..Uncertain emotions grew within her as she stared at them..
Armaan stood there with Arav on his hip , while he clung to him tight.. Aryan was sitting on his shoulder clapping on his head happily.. The scene made her feel nostalgic as she blinked her eyes trying to control her emotions..
"Give them to me.. " She bit out awkwardly.. But Armaan ignored her and walked inside the house studying the place.. "Nice house , its warm and cozy.. " He commented as Shilpa took Aryan from his shoulder who protested loudly.. Arav was now half asleep , while keeping his head on his father's chest.. It surprised Shilpa seeing Arav clinging to Armaan. Arav the self reserved boy who never went to any stranger.. He isint a stranger. Arav feels he is his father...
She came out of thoughts as Armaan took a crying Aryan from her rocking him softly.. She stood stunned as Aryan stopped crying at once clinging to him.. Armaan glanced at her and smirked.. "Feeling jealous Darling ??? "
"In your dreams " She muttered as she followed him inside the kitchen.. "What the hell are you doing ?? Get out of my house Armaan.. "
Armaan glanced at her with a bored look.."Seriously i thought there might have been a change in your attitude by now. But still same old shouting everytime. No wonder the kids hate you.. "
"They dont hate me.." She gaped at him... "They both love me and you are the one who is jealous about it.. "
"As if i care about it.. " He grinned searching around the cupboards.. "Where is the food you give to twins. They are hungry now. Arent you buddies.. " Aryan squealed out happily as Armaan caressed his cheeks.
Not able to bear anymore scene Shilpa took Aryan from his hands who started to protest again.. "I am going to feed them, you can leave now "

Shilpa took a breath of relief as Aryan finally fell alseep after taking his milk bottle... As she kept staring down at him she started to worry.. Armaan was back here , and living beside her as a neighbor. Unfortunately the twins were getting attached to him very easily. She couldnt stop it , being the father of her children she knew he had the right to come and meet them. But what about their own relationship. Will she be able to forget and let go whatever happened.. It wasnt easy she couldnt risk again depending on one person who could hurt her any second.. She had come so far by letting go of her past. And looking back to the past was now impossible for her.. Never..
Suddenly She realized he was still in the house. While she had taken Aryan with her she had forgotten Arav was with him.. Slowly she walked out of the room and went to the sitting room to see Arav who was sleeping on Armaan's lap while he stared down at her.. She stood there for a while watching them together.. Armaan glanced up and locked his gaze into her making her feel uncomfortable.. She glanced away and walked towards his stiffly.. "Give him to me. " The words came out more harsh than she had meant.. He just stared at her and then got up. With one more glance at the sleeping baby he gave her to him with a sigh..
"Whats there name ?? " He asked curiously staring down at Arav.. Shilpa hesitated to for while not willing to speak.. His expressions grew slightly pained.. "Come on i deserve to know that much.. "
"Aryan and Arav.. " She spoke hating the way he tried to make her feel guilty.. "This is Arav the silent one. Back there is Aryan "
" He is beautiful, both of them are " Armaan whispered silently caressing the cheek of Arav.. He glanced back at Shilpa and moved his hands on her cheeks touching them softly.. "Just like you.."
With a accusing glance at him she moved away from him , away from his reach. No she had already made a mistake of being close to him. Armaan mallik knew how to control her if she was under his spell. But she couldnt let it happen anymore. She had to avoid him as much she can, no matter how hard he tried to come closer..
"Just leave from here Armaan. We dont need you.. " Shilpa bit out angrily opening the door for him..
But i need you three.. More than you can imagine.. He stared at her for a while and moved to the door silently.. Before leaving he glanced at her , she noticed the earlier teasing look was back in his eyes.. "Not for long.. I will make sure i am needed badly. As i have no intention of leaving soon "
"One more thing " He spoke peeking inside the house. His grin grew wide seeing her glare at him...
"What " She almost shouted but then lowered her voice as Arav stirred in her arms..
"Both Aryan and Arav have got my looks. I guess you have noticed now. In Future Both of them are going to be proud of their father for their handsome looks. Although i dont know what they might feel about you.. "
"Just get lost Armaan mallik !! " He closed the door hearing her shouting. And then laughed knowing he had finally made her angry again... "This is just start Mrs.Mallik, wait for more to come ! "

Promo :

Take it or Leave it !!

"If you were even the last person on the earth.."
" Darlinggg " He drawled " For you right now i am the last person on the earth available to babysit the twins. "
"No way i am gonna let you babysit them.. "
"Come on for you i will do free. And if you want i will add some extra benefits too. "
"What ?? "
"Oh come on dont be so dumb now. I come with benefit of providing satisfying romance for you along with babysitting. Take it or Leave it..! "

Part 60


Shilpa kept moving from Aryan to Arav while she tried to make them take their milk bottles. But Aryan kept growing grumpy while Arav was little easy to handle. It didint mean the shouts of his brother wasnt reaching his ears. Everytime Aryan Shrieked Arav would start to wriggle getting annoyed. Shilpa set up rubbing her back tiredly. The morning had just started and she was already tired. She didint like everyday rushing off the babies to someone else so she could go to work.. "Maybe i should listen to Naina and get a babysitter " She muttered under her breath while leaning down at Arav giving him his water bottle which he took obediently.. As she moved to Aryan he shoved away the bottle staring at her angrily.. "Whats wrong with you Aryan. Why are you being so difficult today.. " Aryan just glanced down hitting his fist on the baby chair. She frowned worriedly wondering why he was behaving so strange.. "Maybe he is grumpy because he is teething.. " She bent down and kissed both of them in their head when suddenly the door bell rang.. Knowing very well who it could she ignored getting back to her work. But the pounding got loud which started to annoy her. Gritting her teeth she went upto the door and opened it.. "Get lost Armaan Mallik !!! "
"Good morning to you too " He flashed his trademark smile. Shilpa tried to ignore the way her body started to react seeing him there, standing infront of her looking devastatingly handsome. He peeked inside the house and smiled as he noticed the twins who started to shriek happily seeing him.. Shilpa turned around surprised. Werent both of them cranky a moment ago.. With a ting of jealousy she placed her hands on her hip and turned around to him.. " I am very busy right now so leave "
Shilpa turned around but cursed again as he started knocking loud..
"WHAT !! " She opened the door openly showing her irritation which only made him laugh.. He took out a small jar from his pocket.. "I wanted some sugar.. "
"I am out of sugar " She spoke passing a sweet smile at him.. But again Ignoring her he barged inside the house looking around. "Oh Thank you so much Shilpa. Where do you keep Sugar.. "
Shilpa felt like pulling her hair as he walked inside sitting beside twins who started to move closer to him at once.. Who was he fooling , he wasnt even in need of sugar.. Shaking her head she moved past him and took a seat on sofa. Armaan tickled the boys making them laugh.. He glanced back at Shilpa who kept dialing numbers.. "Who are you calling ?? "
"Police! So they can come and throw you out... " She spoke sarcastically while going through numbers in directory.. Armaan smirked at her and glanced down at Arav who smiled at him.. "Mommy wants to throw out Daddy. Now tell her its impossible. Right Aryan.. "
Aryan didint bother answering him , instead with a annoyed look he got back into his toy..
"Hello. I need a babysitter... From morning to late afternoon.. " She frowned while speaking on phone.. "But... There must be someone available.. "
"Damn " Shilpa put down the phone after trying tons of numbers. She couldnt believe no babysitter was available during that time. She got up from the Sofa when suddenly Armaan blocked her way..
"Yo sweetheart.. Why worried ?? "
"Armaan please stop bothering me right now " She spoke annoyed trying to move past him while he kept blocking her way..
"You need a babysitter. Why didint u tell me before " A big grin formed on his lips.. I have the best the most responsible babysitter in mind.. "
"Who ?? " Shilpa spoke suspiciously when suddenly he moved forward opening his arms..
"ME !! Whoelse is Smart , Goregeous , responsible and the best here.. I dont see anyone.. "
Shilpa rolled her eyes backing away a little keeping distance from him.."If you were even the last person on the earth.."
" Darlinggg " He drawled " For you right now i am the last person on the earth available to babysit the twins. " He spoke with a mocking look..
Shilpa shook her head gritting her teeth "No way i am gonna let you babysit them.. "
Armaan scoffed dramatically.."Come on for you i will do free. And if you want i will add some extra benefits too. "
"What ?? " She stared at him confused..
A teasing smile formed on his lips.. "Oh come on dont be so dumb now. I come with benefit of providing satisfying romance for you along with babysitting. Take it or Leave it..! "
"WHAT !!! ??? " Shilpa gaped at him while he grinned at her shamelessly..
Armaan frowned.. "Didint here it correct ?? Ok let me explain more. In morning i take care of babies. Making them eat , giving them Bath , playing with them , singing them songs and making them sleep "
"And you know how to do all these tasks ??? " Shilpa asked shaking her head growing suspicious..
"Ofcourse. How stupid of you to even ask.." He rolled his eyes dramatically..."Now stop interrupting me i am getting to the best part of the deal. As i said in morning i take care of twins. And in night.. " He leaned down at her with a desirable look.. "I can take care of you.. "
"Stop joking " Shilpa blurted out as her cheeks colored up. She glanced awy from him as he chuckled..
"I am very serious.. " He smiled " Infact i can Kiss , caress and ya Beep Beep too "
"Beep Beep?? " Shilpa asked irritatedly growing annoyed with his nonstop talks..
"Oopz " He glanced down at the babies covering his mouth " Shh we cant make them listen right so whatever happens in night Beep Beep "
Shilpa stared at him and shook her head "You are just impossible.. "
As she tried to leave he held her.. "Ok wait no more jokes. On serious note i can take care of the twins while you are gone.. They will be safe with me.. "
"But.. " Shilpa thought for a while searching his face which was filled with sincerity.. He hesitated for a bit and spoke softly.. "You can trust both of them with me.. "
She stared at him in silence for a while as she thought.. What went so wrong between us Armaan.. She glanced away abruptly as Aryan started to go grumpy again , he started to shout but stopped as his daddy took him his arms.. " Go Shilpa. They are going to rock here with me.. "
"Thats exactly whats worrying me.. " Shilpa muttered under her breath leaving three of them to have fun..
Armaan shook his head smiling as Shilpa walked out of the house quickly.. As always beautiful, his wife was gone for work leaving him behind to act as a house husband.. Not that it bothered him he felt happy and lucky that finally he was getting a chance to spend time with his babies.. And more than that it made him happy that Shilpa was slowly and slowly trusting him again..
Whistling he walked out of the house with two babies in his hand.. Suddenly out of nowhere Sharon came infront of him and hit his leg hard with the cane..
"Owww " Armaan jumped back glaring at her angrily.. "What did i do.. "
"What did you do ??? " Sharon hissed in anger.. " YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK ME THAT !! You tricked me yesterday young men !! "
Armaan closed his eyes as Sharon started to shriek. Suddenly he started to laugh and glanced at his two kids who kept staring at Sharon.. "Kids that is exactly how your mother is going to behave when she is on that age.. "
Aryan grinned along with him while Arav frowned.. Armaan yelped again as Sharon hit him on the other leg.. "Dont joke with me Young men. Shilpa told me yesterday police doesnt arrest for broken fence ! "
"Shilpa's big mouth " Armaan muttered under his breath as he hurried away from her heading to his home. Behind him Sharon kept shouting.. "I am deal with you Soon Husband of Shilpa. Dont think i have forgiven you , COMEBACK HERE YOU RASCAL !!! "
"NO WAY YOU OLD BAT " Armaan replied back irritatedly as Sharon gaped at him.. Biting his lip he started to walk faster and ran inside his house as she blasted off.. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME.. OLD BAT ???? I WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU TO POLICE !!! "


Later in evening :

Shilpa cameback home tired. Today her work had ended later than usual and it had worn her out fully. She knocked the door for a while waiting for him to answer. But none came. Frowning She opened the door with the key and glanced around worriedly..Thats when realization struck through her.. "Arghhh Armaan Mallik " Cursing him again she stormed out of her house..
"Welcome back Darling " Armaan opened the door as he knew who was the one pounding on the door. He moved back a little as Shilpa started to glare at him.. "Why did you bring them here.. You could have taken proper care of them back there " She spoke moving past him looking around.. "Where are they..?"
"Upstairs asleep.. " He yawned pointing upstairs.. "I am so tired "
Shilpa tried not to stare at him as he stretched his taunt muscles.. Ignoring him she headed upstairs while he followed her quietly..
Shilpa opened the door of the first room and stood back stunned for a while. She glanced around not being able to believe her eyes.. The room was beautifully decorated. Two baby cots on one side while toys scattered around on other side. She imagined Aryan and Arav happily playing there which made her smiled. She walked inside slowly to see both of them sleeping peacefully in their cots. She caressed their cheeks as her eyes grew misty. This was on happiness she couldnt afford giving them. Closing her eyes she glanced back at him hesitantly.. " You did.. All of this ?? "
"I had to prepare them for a friendlier environment right " He shrugged his shoulders awkwardly not knowing what to say. As he glanced at her for the first time after a long time he noticed admiration and love towards him. His throat dried, he took a step towards her which only made her flinch and step back.. She controlled the emotions which he longed to see and replaced them with coldness..
"What did they eat ?? " She headed downstairs quickly changing the subject.. Still her heartbeat was high as she recalled the moment they both had shared just now. No she couldnt afford to be with him again.. She walked inside the kitchen as he followed..
"I just brought the food from your place and made them eat. You give them apple pudding right..? " He inquired softly..
" Yes " She spoke glancing around noticing how good the place was furnished.. The place was much cozier than hers. She realized..
A gentle smile came on his face as he spoke.. "Apple pudding.. No wonder they are so chubby.. "
The way he teased made her smile for a moment. Again they both had shared a beautiful moment without realization.. Armaan sighed blissfully as he stared at her beautiful face.. Testing the air he stepped forward holding her face in his palms.. She glanced up at him surprised and tried to speak , but couldnt form any words.. Her heart raced as she realied he was going to kiss her.. He leaned down at the same moment she closed her eyes. But suddenly her eyes flew open as something fluffy brushed on her leg. She pushed him away and glanced down.. "I swear something brushed on my leg.." Thats when he noticed something hairy hiding behind the counter.. Her eyes widened as she finally realized " OMG IS THAT MY SHAO PAO!! "
Armaan broke into laughter seeing the stunned look on her face.. She moved past him and took Shao Pao in her hands grinning happily.. "Omg!! I have missed him soo much... Shao Pao you are back.. "
Armaan kept smiling and moved towards her slowly.. As he came forward Shao Pao jumped on his arms.. Shilpa frowned... "Wait you are supposed to me by dog not his.. " She scolded him which only made him ignore her more..
"He is just hurt you left him alone.. Well not only him though " Armaan spoke in a low voice which made Shilpa stare at him uneasily.. The awkwardness started to grow again which she brushed off.. "Give me back my Shao Pao "
"Why ?? " Armaan questioned raising his eyebrow.. Shilpa passed a irritated look at him.. "Because he is my dog. So he will stay with me.. "
"Ofcourse not " Armaan grinned.. "He is now my dog and he only listens to me.. "
"I am the one who brought him.. " She spoke firmly.. " He will get used to me again when he goes with me.. "
Armaan th0ught for a while.. "Soo.. If i give him to you , what do i get in return ?"
"I will do anything just give me back my Damn dog !! " She spoke hurriedly but grew stunned as she realized what she had just said.. Oh no..
His smile grew wide as he handed Shao Pao to her at once.. Shilpa started to leave quickly when he spoke.. "Ohh Hello where is the favor in return.. "
She glanced back at him clutching Shao Pao Close. As if he would save her. Hesitantly she spoke.. " What Favor you need.. "
His smile grew devilish as he leaned to the counter.. " I know exactly what i need as a favor.. ! "

Part 61



"This is what you need as a favor.. " Shilpa asked him stunned and surprised as they set together in the sofa.. Armaan glanced at her and smirked.. "Ofcourse, for tonight you just need to do me a favor of watching Tv with me.. "
She tried to speak when he continued.. "Anything that comes on Tv. Whatever show it is you have to see. And remember to be quiet twins are sleeping.. "
Shilpa clenched her teeth and glared at him but kept silent.. "Anyways they arent going to wake any soon." He stretched his leg on the small coffee table while switching the channels..
"Ahh so lets watch the news " He put on a news channel staring at it with deep concentration. Shilpa gaped at him shaking her head.. "You want me to watch news without you.. "
He gave a nod rubbing his chin.."Actually how about discussing the matters.. See down there the stock market is improving, isint that good for the economy.. "
Shilpa gritted her teeth making a face.." I dont care about stock market.."
Suppressing his laugh Armaan took the remote again.. "You dont like it ? Ok lets change the channel."
Shilpa groaned as he started to switch channels once again. For once she was relieved when he had announced what he wanted as a favor. But how could she underestimate Armaan Mallik even for a second. He knew exactly what method to use to torment her.
Her attention drew to TV as she realized what he had started to watch.. "Now why are you watching that stupid drama serial. " Shilpa asked irritatedly.. Armaan frowned and her and glanced at Tv confused.. "I am just.. trying to understand why the heck she is crying from past 10 minutes.."
Shilpa glanced at him amused for a while. She hid her smile as he kept watching the serial with utter concentration. Finally he groaned and changed the channel. " All damn shows look same. Women with jeweleries and crying. God knows why !!"
Shilpa broke into laughter hearing the way he described the serials. Armaan glanced at her surprised. He felt relieved seeing her laugh, he had missed it from such a long time. He gave a mental pet to himself for the victory..
Suddenly her laugh faded off as she realized what he was watching. A naughty smile grew on his face as he eased on Sofa quietly. Shilpa set up and stared at the Tv. It was a love scene of a movie, two lovers tangled in a sheet and kept caressing eachother. Her cheeks grew warm and she glanced away , but then peeked again. She hesitated but glanced at Armaan, she gasped as she noticed he was staring at her rather than the Tv. "You like it.. " He asked in a husky voice staring deep in her eyes tormenting her.. Shilpa felt sweat form on her forehead as she stammered.. "Ofcourse not " She spoke incredulously shaking her head.. " I dont like watching it.. " She glanced away once again as she felt him shift closer. Her senses grew alert as she looked back at him frowning. This time he got more closer which made her tilt her head back to look his face. His eyes were filled with desire which scared her to the wits. She didint want this. If he touch her she would been soon on his mercy. With a nervous laugh she tried to get up when he held her firm.. " Why dont you look and see what they are doing on the TV.. "
Slowly she glanced, her eyes grew wide as she noticed the lovers kissing eachother boldly.. Blushing to the core she looked away.. "Stop it Armaan"
A grin eased on his lips as he leaned down brushing his lips on hers which startled her. But she couldnt bring out even a word of protest. He was bringing her into his spell. Slowly and smoothly. His lips traced her earlobe and he spoke huskily.. "Now stop lying i can see the blush on your face.. "
Shilpa lay quiet as he held her close as he caressed her neck with his lips. She closed her eyes enjoying the feeling, she had longed for his caresses all these days. She gasped lightly as he grew bolder and started to suck on her neck showering deep kisses. She couldnt take anymore. Holding his face in her hands she brought him up and kissed him hard and passionate. He groaned and pulled her close kissing her with the equal desperation she was showing. As the tongues tangled together his hands started to run on her body caressing the curves. She ran her hands on his back while devouring his lips.. Suddenly he eased off his lips from her with a harsh gasp.. He caught the hem of her sweater in his hands and pulled it up revealing her bare stomach , which he caressed softly. Her head fell back as she let out a delighted moan. Suddenly the door bell rang breaking off the romantic moment. Shilpa stilled in his arms realizing what was happening. Armaan stared down at her cursing whoever had interrupted their moment. With a flushed look she stood up and adjusted her sweater ignoring his stare. Armaan fell back into sofa with a grumpy look. Shilpa raised her eyebrow at him and moved to the door..

"Shilpa what are you doing here ??? I have been looking for you from an hour now " Naina spoke outrageously as she studied the flushed look on Shilpa's face.. "Are you alright. Why are you so nervous.. "

Ohh i am absolutely fine " Shilpa spoke hurriedly.. "How did you find me here ?? "

"Ohh I went to Sharon and asked.." Words died on her lips as she noticed the man who came and stood behind Shilpa. As he smiled she gaped at him openly.. Shaking her head she pulled Shilpa close "Who is this gorgeous man "

Armaan raised his eyebrow as Naina walked inside the house. Ignoring Shilpa she moved near Armaan offering her hand with a bright smile.. "So you are the new neighbour. Hi i am Naina "

Armaan smiled a sexy smile which made her knees go weak. Shilpa frowned at Naina while she kept staring at Armaan with dreamy eyes..

"I am Armaan Mallik. " He spoke shaking her hand.. "Ohh arent you gorgeous " Naina spoke sweetly..

"I know right " Armaan grinned at her widely while Shilpa came forward fuming.. "Naina.. You have come to meet me right lets go.. "

Naina shoved her hand still staring at Armaan.. "Shilpa if you want to leave you can go. Let me have some talk with this handsome.. "

Shilpa gritted her teeth glaring at Naina who kept staring at Armaan. Armaan drew a step back sensing danger. It didint go unnoticed by him seeing the jealousy in Shilpa's eyes. But that wasnt something he wanted her to feel. Specially due to a girl on who he had no interest..

"Well i guess i havent introduced myself fully.. I am Shilpa's husband " Armaan spoke gently glancing back at Shilpa who stared at him with surprise..

"Ohhh " Naina's grew dissapointed for a while as she realized why Shilpa was glaring at her.. Suddenly she grew embarrassed and turned back to Shilpa.. "Omg Shilpa forgive me.. I really had no idea.. "

Shilpa glanced away and muttered.. "It doesnt matter.. We are anyways seperated.. "

Armaan flinched at her words but acted as if he didint hear. He moved to the kitchen and busied himself on making Dinner. Naina stared back at him for a while and moved towards Shilpa who stood troubled.. "Shilpa i think you should.. "

"Naina please.. I really dont want to discuss this "

Naina gave a nod and smiled briefly.. " I am getting late for my shift. I will leave now see you around.. " With a wink Naina walked away before Shilpa could protest.

With a sigh she walked inside the kitchen to notice Armaan preparing for Dinner.. "When did you learn to cook.. " Shilpa asked surprised. Armaan glanced at her and smiled.. "Just learned around.. Now i can beat you on cooking.. "

Shilpa smiled hesitantly at him.. "I think .. I should leave now. Its getting late.. "

Armaan frowned at her for a moment and placed his hand on her hips "Oh Hello Your favor is not done yet.. "

"Huhh " Shilpa grew confused.. "But i did return you back the favor.. "

Armaan shook his head with a smirk.. "No darling. It was just half. Remember i said to watch TV with me whole night.. Still if you want to go leave behind Shao pao here.. "

Shilpa gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath.. "Looser freak "

"I heard that " Armaan laughed funnily getting back to his work..

"Ohh i dont care " She spoke sarcastically. "Anyways i will go back and check on twins. They must be awake now.. "

Armaan gave a nod while cutting some of meat. Shilpa watched him in amazement as he did his work with perfection shaking her head she made her way to the baby room..

"Armaan !! Get out of the bed you freak " Shilpa muttered angrily as she felt him jump on the bed beside her.. Eventhough she felt sleepy still it made her uneasy knowing he was there beside her.. She tried to nudge him but he held back her hands.. "So sorry to disappoint you Shilpa you are currently in my house and my bed. "

Gritting her teeth she tried to push away him but he was to heavy. "Then get out and sleep on the sofa.. "

Armaan groaned and muttered sleepily.. "If you are worried sharing a bed with me why dont you go and sleep on Sofa. I am not leaving my bed.. "

Shilpa sighed as Sleep started to take over her. She was too drained up to fight with him.. Literally she let the matter go.. "I am to sleepy to fight with you.. "

After few minutes Shilpa felt him getting close. He place his head on the crook of her neck making her eyes grow misty. It reminded her of all the moment they had spent together. Suddenly she didint feel sleepy. Instead she started to frown realizing what she had noticed today.. "Armaan " She nudged on his arm... "Armaan listen to me" She nudged him again this time harder , and he started to wake.. "What ? " He spoke

"When i went back to room today, i noticed Aryan was little pale. And he was quiet. His head was little hot i thought its because he slept for long. Armaan i dont think he is feeling all right.. "

That caught his attention as he set up on the bed staring down at her.. "But he was fine all the day.. You said he is teething "

She nodded at him with a relief look. "Yes they both are teething. Arav has taken it good but Aryan is little grumpy. I guess its the effect of it.. "

Armaan didint say a word instead he lay back again. "He will be fine. Stop worrying about him.." His words soothed her but still for some unknown reason she didint feel good. Something wasnt right. She felt it. Finally making up her mind she got up from the bed "I will go and check up on him once.. "

Armaan stayed awake for a while. He couldnt help but worry about Aryan along with her.. Slowly he started to drift back into sleep again when he heard her sob as she neared to him. Instantly he set up as Shilpa clutched his hand crying.. "Armaan "

He got up from the bed and held her face clearing off the tears. A fear crossed his mind as he thought of Aryan.. "Whats wrong why are you.. "

"Aryan !!" She gasped with worry and fear.. " He is has high fever.. And he is.. He .. "

"He what ???" Armaan spoke impatiently heading out of the room dragging her along with him. He ran inside the baby room and stared down at the limp form of Aryan. He looked pale and his lips were cold. A shiver ran down his spine as fear grew in him. Beside the cot Arav was awake and crying out his lungs..

Shilpa came beside him and spoke sobbing uncontrollably.. "Armaan.. He is unconscious.. I tried to wake him but he doesnt move. I am so scared.. "

Looking at Shilpa made his fear increase more.. God please dont let anything happen to my Baby.. Please.. He kept chanting a silent prayer as he lifted Aryan's limp body in his hands.. His eyes grew misty as he stared down at him.. " I will not let anything happen to you Champ.. "

"Shilpa take Arav and call Naina. We need someone to take care of Arav while we take Aryan to hospital.. " Armaan spoke hurriedly opening the car door. Shilpa followed him in daze , if she was alone in such a situation she would have been confused. But Armaan had taken responsibility of everything which soothed her sould..As she got in He layed Aryan on her lap and drove off the car and a unbelievable speed..

Naina held a sleeping Arav in her hands while she rested in the waiting room. In Upstairs Shilpa stood with Armaan near the ICU while clinging to him close. She gripped his shirt and spoke desperately.. "Armaan. He is going to be fine right.. ? Why are the doctors not giving a answer ?? "

Armaan sighed miserably as he hugged her close. He was tired , they have been waiting here from two hours now and still doctors havent said a word about condition of Aryan.. Nothing is happening to Champ.. He kept praying silently..

"This is all my fault " Shilpa cried silently.

"Shut up Shilpa " Armaan scolded her silently. "He will be alright . Soon he will be back in your arms. " He assured her gently while brushing a light kiss on her forehead..

After a while doctor walked out of the room and walked towards them tiredly.. "Doctor how is he ?? " Armaan spoke quickly as he came towards them..

"Well the boy is out of danger now.. Still we will have to keep him under observation for a day. Then you can take back her home.. "

Shilpa smiled relived while Armaan did the same.. He held her close when suddenly Doctor spoke frowning.. "I have to ask something. As a parent of a infant you should have been careful about him.. "

Shilpa bit her lip worriedly while Armaan tried to argue.. "Infants have to be taken good care. I dont understand why didint you bring him with the first sign of Fever.. It was utterly irresponsible behavior to ignore "

She stared at him stunned as she realized how she had thought his fever was due to teething. Why hadnt she realized it before. Armaan shook his head disagreeing with him.. "Come on Doctor that doesnt make sense. She take care of the babies every single minute. Getting fever is something very common it cant be stop by any of us. I cant even tell you how worried my wife have been through out the night.. "

The doctor passed him a guilty look and gave a pat on his shoulder.. "I am really sorry Mr.Mallik if i sounded rude. I was trying to advice as a doctor its my responsibility to keep the parents aware specially when it comes to infact you really have to be careful.."

Armaan gave a nod with a brief smile.."Its fine. Just make Aryan fit and fine again Doctor. So we can take him back home as soon as possible.."

Doctor gave a gentle nod and walked inside the ICU. Armaan closed his eyes rubbing his face. He glanced up to notice Shilpa who stood near the corner unmoving. He went closer and held her hand as she glanced at him with those sorrow filled eyes which always scared him. Without a further word he held her close and took her away from the place with him..
