After reaching resturant he called his mother expressing his desire to hire personal assisstant and literally manipulated her in taking guddan's name " maa , main soch raha hun k aek secretary appoint krlun" " haan toh tu ne mujhe kyun phone kiya hai" " apki suggestion lene k lye kyun k antra bht insecure hai na toh kaise appoint karun" " aisa kr tu guddan ko rakh le waise bhi ghr pe uska kya kaam, aur antra ko bhi masla nhi hoga" " thk hai toh phr ap aisa karein guddan ko bhej de aur keh de k yeh apka mashwara hai" . Disconnecting the call he jumped here and there in excitment.
"Guddan" savitri called " ji aunty" " ja jakr tayar hoja tujhe office jaana hai" " par kyun" " guddan, jo maa keh rahi hai woh karo" antra said intervening , guddan got ready and left for office " waise apne guddan ko office bheja kyun hai" "arey beta, ab toh woh roz hi jayegi, lalla ki PA jo hai" " kya" " haan, ab waise bhi iska ghr main kya kaam hai, tere kehne pe hum ne usey ghr main rakh liya chalo is bahane lalla k kaam hi ajayegi" savitri said whatever was spoon fed to her by akshat.
Guddan reached office, confused and tensed , she entered her office without knocking, she saw red liquid dripping from his finger " akshat kya hua, dikhao mujhe" she ran towards him, she took his and saw it was some food color " thankgod it is just a food color" she wrapped her left arm around him and hugged him tightly , he clean his hand with tissue with guddan clinging to him , he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her more closer " itne se rang se dar gayi" " toh kya hua , hum waise hi tensed thay k hume maa ne achanak office kyun bhej diya upar se yeh lal rang" he just smile and peck her hairs, he picked her up in same position and locked the door of his room " yeh ap kya kr rahe hain aur maa ne hume yahan kyun bheja hai" " maa ne islye bheja hai kyun k maa ne kaha k guddan har waqt akshat k saath rahegi uski PA, islye akshat jahan bhi jayega uski guddan uske saath jayegi" he explained pecking her nose " ohh , yeh baat thi par hum maa ki baaton aisa laga jaise boojh hai hum ap sabke upar" " dubara aisa mat kehna, ghr aur mera sab kch tumhara hai , boojh toh antra bni hui hai meri zindagi pe" both of mood was turned off , she casted her eyes down , he settled her on the table and stood b/w her legs , he looked at her down casted gaze and decide to lighten up the mood, he made her look at him by placing a finger under her chin " i have something for you" " kya" "kheer" " sach" he nodded, she kissed his cheek. He bought a bowl of kheer and fed her with his own hands. Rice pudding has always been symbol of their friendship and a sweet to celebrate achievements and victories that too made by akshat. Intially nobody knew about his love for food except for guddan, he was never concious or shy around her and shared almost everything with her. Whilst he was lost in past guddan finished everything in the bowl " yeh kya guddan, tum puri kheer khaa gyi , mere liye kch bhi nhi chora" " Oops sorry, it was very tasty" she made a baby face, he without even thinking crashed her lips with his, he nibbled on her lips gaining access he explored every corner tasting of rice pudding and her sweetness. They pulled apart due lack of oxygen, shifting towards her neck giving open mouth kisses, intertwining their finger, both were lost in heat of moment when she screamed due to pain, he then remember her burnt hand and gently applied oinment blowing it. His thoughts " yeh haath ko bhi ajeeb bura lagta hai humara romance beech beech main aajata hai".
He left her to attend a phone call, once he was free " sir how can i help you" "sir" he repeated with questioning tone " yes because you are boss now" he pulled her from waist " baby you are the ultimate boss samjhi" he said kissing her cheek. He hand her the keys of private room and asked her to enjoy sometime till than he will wind up his daily work.
Guddan was lying leisurely on bed recalling earlier moment, she touched her lips, his feel still lingering, rice pudding was not only symbol of their friendship but also it had memory of their first kiss
Flash back
It was the end of first year and akshan topped the class, just to celebrate the success akshat made her favourite rice pudding. Not wanting ppl to know about his passion for cooking he took her to secluded corner, she went with him. When he showed her favourite sweet she out of excitement was about to place a kiss on his cheek but accidently their lips crashed. They both stayed like a statue but than akshat took the first step and begin sucking on her lower lip, starting off with hesitation it was turned into a wild passionate liplock. They both parted due to lack of oxygen and remained silent as if nothing happened between them.
Flash back ends
Irrespective of the fact that they have never been in an official relationship there always has been electrifying intimacy between them, there was always sexual tension, comfort, attraction,desire and foremost love between them, till today she can understand just by looking at his body language. She knew he so wanted to be with her , make love to her but something was halting her , she felt her phone buzzing, it was antra mum calling " hello" " guddan" " ji aunty" " sab kch theek hai na antra aur akshat k beech main, kyun k mujhe woh udas lag rahi thi jab maine usey baat ki thi" " haan sab theek apko galat fehmi hogyi hai" " theek hai pr tum dihan rakhna, tumhara wahan hone ka purpose yahi hai" she lied to antra's mom for first time unconciously the vows has somewhere started taking the front seat. She closed her eyes to push back guilt in the process she doze off.
Akshat came to check on her, he sensed that she is asleep seeing her even breaths. He remove his shoes and tie and laid beside her. She is wearing a backless blouse in place with a hook. He placed feather light kisses on her back, feeling his touch she laid flat on her belly giving him more access, he unhooked her blouse, pepping her back with feather light kisses, she turned around, tangling her finger in his soft locks. She felt his lips on her neck , she pulled him further closer, tucking his hairs, he moved down pouring wet kisses, he paid attention to her assets, moving back up he looked into her eyes " what has happened" he knew from her behaviour that she has been guilty about something. There relationship has always been such that he can sense with her behaviour that something is wrong with her. " antra mother called , she is not happy , and i lied to her that everything is fine she is just overthinking, but truth is that she is not happy because you are with me all the time ignoring her and i dont know why i like it when you are near me, kiss me, love me" " look at me baby, there is nothing to feel guilty about, whatever is happening is because of antra's stubborness, you dont overthink please" he said he pulled her in his embrace kissing her forehead , carresing her hairs pacifying her " do you want to have dinner before we leave" " no" " okay, go freshen up and we shall leave".
