A special one for their 2 years.

"Ek hafte me humari anniversary aane wali hai, peechli baar humari 1st wedding anniversary itni dull jayegi humne socha nahi tha. Pehle aap training ke liye bahar the aur phir humara accident ho gaya. Iss bar toh khuch special banta hai...nahi?" Haseena whispered in his ears.

She was lying on his back, her face near his neck, hands molded, legs entangled and their bare skin warmed by each other and a thick blanket to beat the December Winter night.

"Hmm...boliye Jaana", he said in a sleepy voice. His eyes barely managed to open. He looked cute, struggling with that sleep and wanting to listen to her. Actually she had said this all of a sudden when he was already sleepy tired and relaxed of making love.

Haseena giggled. She kissed his cheek and wished him good night. "Abhi toh aap so jaiye...subha plan karenge", she said while slipping next to him. He spooned her and mumbled "subhratri"

________________________________________
Next Morning,

"Boliye Madam...khuch socha hai aapne?" he asked bringing her a cup of morning coffee.

"Anubhav...hum please kahi ghumne chale?"

He raised his eyebrows sipping in coffee.

"Aap sab khuch decide kar hi leti hai na pehle?"

"Toh kya kare... humare husband toh ispe apna dimag kharch karte hi nahi?", She says with a sugar coated smile.

"Itni achi coffee di phir bhi taane pad rahe hai", he murmured to himself.

"Kya"

"Um...khuch nahi", he covers up nervously.

"Anubhav...", She calls him extra sweetly. "Chalte hai na 3-4 din ke liye hi kahi. Iss se zyada humme sath me chuthi mille ye hum expect bhi nahi karte"

"Idea aapka hai toh destination humari", he says with the same buttery smile.

"Abhi toh humme bas aapke saath time spend karna hai. Ek dum private. Sirf hum dono...toh koi bhi jagha chalegi humme", she says happily giving him a side hug with the coffee mug in her hand.

"Are...garam coffee girayengi aap bistar pe" He said holding the cup and thus her hand. "Coffee chodiye aap", she keeps it on the bed side table. He frowned. "Aree pi lenge baad mein. Aap bas destination dhundhiye"

"Mussoorie", he said in the next instant. Her eyes gleamed in excitement. "Paas bhi hai, budget me bhi or pehle sardi me hum kabhi gaye bhi nahi...Perfect", she analysed and jumped on him.

"Haseena", he hugs her in a try to control his bundle of excitement. "Sorry, thode zyada hi khush hogaye"

"Waise toh jayaz hai. Kitna time hogaya hai humme kahi gaye hue. Akele toh hum dono honeymoon ke baad kahi gaye hi nahi" His smile suddenly dropped remembering the day before their anniversary exactly one year before.

"Haseena saal bhar pehle..."
"Anubhav", she cupped his face and kissed the top of his head. "Kyu yaad karte hai aap woh har baar...dekhiye hum theek hai bilkul", she smiles.

"Anu..."Ammi cried. "Haseena ka accident hogaya hai..."

His eyes blurred and he ran out of his cabin.
.
.
.
"Ye gift de rahi hai aap humme Anniversary pe? Yun pattiyo me bandh kar? Hospitalised hoke! Dhyaan kaha tha aapka? Yu toh humesha Santosh Sharma ko samjhati rehti hai. Halat dekh rahi apni. Kitne chot aayi hai aapke kandhe ko", he said all this angrily. She just blinked her eyes.

"Aap bhi daat rahe humme...hmm...?",she replied weakly. His hand shivered while he held her injured hand.

He slipped her top to her right arm and kissed over the permanent scar left on her body by that incident.

She hugged him tightly to comfort his fear.

"Aap humare saath Mussoorie toh chaliye hum aapko aisi memories denge ki aap baki sab bhul jayenge ", she said in a husky voice...her hands sensually stroking his abs over the t-shirt crease.

But instead of blushing he chuckled.

"Itna sa blush kardenge toh height kam nahi ho jayegi aapki", she frowned.

"Flirting me bahout kachi hai aap kyuki", he pressed his lips controlling his laughter.
"Hatiye aap baat hi nahi karni humme aapse", she got up and tried to take up the coffee mug.

But before she could have it, Anubhav grabbed it and took a sip. "Ab humse naraz hai toh humari banayi hui coffee toh nahi peeyengi aap"
He says with a toothy smile and walks out of their room happy and content with irritating her.

"Uggh!...ye sare husband sirf shaadi ke khuch mahino tak extra sweet hote hai...uske baad sirf kaam, karte raho biwiyo ko pareshan"

"Ek hi shaadi hui hai humari, konsi biwiyo ko pareshaan kar liya humne?", He popped up again, listening to her self talk.

"Zyada hasi aarahi hai na rukiye aap" She picked up the rolled newspaper and targeted him.

"Jazbati Madam, Ahinsa paramo dharam", he said, easily dodging the throw.

Irritated she held his collar and left a bite mark on his neck. He cornered her immediately and pressed kisses on her face to soothe her temper.

"Nashte ki sakt zarurat hai aapko"

"I hate you", she frowned. He lowered himself her lips and teases her with his breaths. "Abhi bhi?"

She looked up in his eyes, the world around still seemed to vanish near her. Isn't it great? She thought..., as she had heard that things change, relationship turn monotonous, love fades as the years together increase. They had dated earlier for 3 years and now their marriage will soon turn two. But everything remained same. Instead it had grown more beautiful ❤️

Hearing their noises Maa and Ammi went to them but immediately exclaimed seeing the couple! They were about to kiss.

BGM~ lag gayi

"Ab toh gaye hum...yaha se HQ tak ke raste me Haseena humme itna daat ne wali hai...koi trip nahi bacha sakti ab hume", Anubhav thought nervously looking at the embarrassed and flustered faces of the three ladies.

"Ya Allah. Maa aur Ammi ko kaise face karenge hum" Haseena had still kept her eyes closed.

"Woh parathe...parathe jal jayenge hum aate hai", Ammi quickly left the scenario. "hum nashte ke liye bulane hi aaye the", Maa smiled nervously and went away.

Haseena glared at Anubhav.

"Mr. Anubhav Singh...ab Mussoorie pahuchne tak no flirting, no romance"

"Bhaag hi phoot gaye humare", he said following her in an attempt to pacify her.

___________________________________________

A day later,

"Agar is baar aapke woh Commissioner Friend humme bina sharto ke sath chuthi nahi dete toh dekh lete hum unhe", Haseena said frowning.

"Jaane dijye na jaana. Woh sirf Masti karta hai. Humme chedne ke liye"

She hummed. "Woh dusra wala bag bhi dijye zara" He raised his hands above the wardrobe and gave her third bag.

"3 din ke 3 bag!"

"Nahi na. Bas dekh rahe hai konsa le. Lekin 2 toh honge hi."

"Theek hai", he sighed."aapki badi height ke kafi faide hote hai humme...(she hugs him, her ears always rest on his heart) Waise dear husband Zara humme, hotel ka naam bata de...", She circled her around his neck.

"Surprise. Darling", he touched his nose with hers. She pushed him back. "Door hi rahiye trip tak phir"

"Ye jo aap humme tease kar rahi hai na iska badla zarur lenge hum"

"Badle ki baadme sochna abhi...apne sweaters, jackets nikalye jo pehn ni hai"
"Or apna ek extra hi lena", she instructed him while putting hers out.

"Haan Haan aap adhe kapde humare hi toh pehnti hai...bacho ko batayenge hum ki unki maa, baba ke kapde churati hai"

"Hume ache lagte hai toh loose loose. Aise har baar chor bolne ki zarurat nahi hai 😒"

She looked at the table calendar and sighed. "Chalo, periods aane ke toh chances Kam hai". Though she thinks she is already PMSing and putting it out on her husband.

"Anubhav ki Jaan", he twinkled his eyes. "Kya kiya apne?🧐"

"Woh kal na humse...matlab hum khuch dundh rahe the aapki almari me...toh humse aapka woh...white wala dress almari ke side me aake phat gaya"

"Kya😦"
He nervously handed it over to her. "Kaha se"

"Anu...! Isse kal hi tailor ke paas deke ayenge aap, parso hum yahi pehn ke jaane wale the", she scolded him.

"Ek din me...(she raised her brows) karwa denge pakka"

"Acha hoga aapke liye DSP sahab", she said and he nodded like a obidient child.

Sometime later,

"Do saal hone wale hai tumhare niqah ko ab toh humme humar pote-potu se milwao", Ammi said teasing her. All of them were having dinner.

"Haan Haan behenji...jaise dono romance karte phirte hai uske hisab toh kaafi der kardi nahi?", Maa added remembering the instance from yesterday.

"Maa-Ammi", Anubhav said, his flushed. "Agar aap dono kal ke baat se humme chedhegi na toh aapki beti humme Mussoorie tak sirf taane hi deying"

Haseena eyed him while the mother's laughed.
"Bahout bolte hai aap...chup raha kijye thoda" she whispered to him eating the next bite. He mentally smiled.

~Chaliye pahuch gaye Mussoorie- The Queen of Hills~

(Imagine the place lightly covered with snow)

"Haseena...",he held her hand. She seemed tensed. They had reached the Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun an hour ago and where now on the route to Mussoorie by an intercity cab.

"Aapko nauseous feel ho raha hai?",Anubhav asked concerned. "Nahi bas, kal hi snow giri hai na toh driving...", The accident has surely developed some sort of fear in her in difficult situation driving.

"Are madam ji, aap chinta hi mat kijiye, din me hi 5 round mar lete hai hum", the driver intervened in their conversation.

Anubhav let out his hand around her waist and pulled her in his embrace. With a fur sweater around her she felt like a soft teddy.

"Anu...driver dekh raha hai",she hissed.

"Newly wed honeymoon couples ko bhi lejate hai ye bhaisahab", he replied tightening his grip around her.

"Humari punishment yaad hai na aapko? Mussoorie pahuche nahi hai hum", she smiled getting his eye roll over. He took out his phone and messaged her something reading which her cheeks turned all red.

__

"Kitna sundar hai ye Anubhav", Haseena said smiling at the views. The hotel was an old British Styled building turned into a classic hotel with beautiful lawns in front. The drive was uphill to the parking space.

He looked at her. The dimples on her face convinced him she had loved his suprise. May be it was a little pricey and over his budget but these outings are very rare for them. They held a special power which could easily relax him with all the stress he holds due to his duty.

She rubbed her hands and stretched herself after the long journey. He walked near her and kissed her hairs all of a sudden. She smiled.

"Bahout Bahout pyaari jagha hai ye Anubhav 🥰". Her eyes land on the stone structures beautifully carved out and currently painted by nature with frozen water drops.

In their room,

"Anubhav humme budget me aana tha agle do mahino ka hisaab hilake nahi. 3 din ke 70 hazaar rupee diye hai apne. Aap humesha aisa hi karte hai...isliye hum aapko ye sab kaam nahi bolte. Aapko ek sabzi laane ko bole toh pura bhandara la dete hai jo humare fridge me bhi nahi sama paata", she is scolding him after looking at the invoice of their 3N stay.

"Sabji or hotel bhi bhala koi compare karni ki cheez hai?", He says innocently.

"Anu...",her words are further cut as he pulls her in his lap. "Bahout kanjoos hai aap, um...gussail bhi. Itni chinta sehat ke liye achi nahi hai..." He holds her hands and folds them behind his back. He flips their position. His lips touch her forehead and then tease her neck. "Ab toh Mussoorie bhi aa gaye meri jaan"

He closed the space between their lips and parted immediately leaving a want in her. "Bahout cheda tha na aapne humme😏"

"Gussail hai na hum? Huhh", she mumbled in between leaving purple marks on his exposed skin. He hissed in pain. She swept her lips to soothe his tingling sensations.

She was going to claim her lips but he moved back again, laughing at her. He ruffled her hairs and pinched her nose. Her grip around him tightened forbidding him to move much. Before she could move to devour him they were disturbed by a ding!

"Yaha rakh dijye luggage aap", Anubhav said trying his best not to burst in laughter. After the housekeeping staff went, Anubhav turned to her as if it was a victory in the teasing game.

"Kabhi naav paani mein...kabhi paani naav me...nahi?", He says and chuckles. Though she gets irritated but she gets lost in his care free laughter. A thing that satisfies her soul.

_______________

Next day at night,
Yesterday they had spend their time relaxing and strolling the big hotel he had booked along with taking the views of Mussoorie's Mall road overlooking the city of Dehradoon.
Today's morning went in for a winter hike to George Everest. And the natural adventure to the hidden waterfalls rather than the famous ones.

It was night time, the sharp coldness called for thick and multiple layers of wool and some close walks. Both had their hands wrapped around eachother resting in fur pockets, walking slowly on the slippery roads untill they reached a famous sweet shop at the library end.

"Yaha ke gulaab jamoon try kare? Net pe dekha tha kafi famous hai", Haseena asked, though they had just had their dinner but sweetdish was pending.

"Jaroor...apni manpasand mithayi ko kyu hi mana karega?", He replied with a sweet smile. She took a place in the shop putting her bags down while he stood in the line for order.

Haseena was rummagging through the snaps they had clicked so far when one of them caught her eyes. A click against the waterfall which had a golden glow with the sunset. "Isko toh hum frame karwayenge", she said to herself and smiled.

Two plates were served before her by her husband. "Ye normal wale or ye Inka special variety"

She dug the wooden spoon in it and took the hot piece which melted in her mouth. "Umm tasty toh bahout hai", she moaned. "Lekin aap Aram se khayega kafi garam hai", she informed him as he had low tolerance in eating hot.

"Bas 3 ghante me humari shadi ko do saal pure ho jayege or humme mile hue paanch. Waqt kaise nikal jaata hai Haseena. Kal si hi toh lagti hai humari pehli mulaqaat. Jab pehli baar kisi ne Anubhav Singh ki dhadkane bhadyi ho...kitna bhi mushkil ho Haseena ya dekha jaye toh galat lekin aapne humari khushi humesha apne se upar hi rakhi. Hum me itni khamiya thi, pyaar naam se hi itni shikayate thi lekin aapne humesha is cheez ko bulake humse behad pyaar kiya...humare andar jo dar chupe the un sab se hume ladna sikhaya hai.

Humme kabhi nahi pata tha ki humme bhi kissi ke aisi adat lag sakti, uske humare nikat rehne ki, usse pyar karne ki, us se chedkani karni ki, kaam se Ghar aake usski ek jhalak dekhne ki...(smiles) usse flirt karne ki...use har tarha se chahne ki...

Apne humari zindagi bahout khubsurat banayi hai Haseena. Bholenaath se prathna karte hai ki aapko humesha prasan or swasth rakhe or humare pass bhi...itna ki humesha aapko gale lagake ek pyari neend me so sake or subha ho toh aapke saath ek coffee se", he looked at her and thought, gazing her with all of his love

"Suniye ji", she called him out seeing him lost in her.
"Boliye", he looked sideways and then at her.

"Humme aise hi taadte rahenge toh phir se lambi line me lagna padega", she eyes towards the gulab jamoon plates. She had finished half from one and almost entirely from the second. He frowned and looked at her complaining.

"Humari chahiti misthaan khatam kardi aapne"

"Ab isme humari kya galati. Humme ghur kyu rahe the? Isliye toh hum aapko desperate bolte hai", she answered confidently. He was flushed but still maintained the stern expressions.

"Ab ispe apni buri drishti mat daliye", he slapped away her hands approaching to eat another bite. "Jaake ek or plate laiye", he kind of ordered.

😞😞
"Kismat hi kharab hai apni...kaise husband paaye hai ya Allah"

"Handsome, smart, dashing, fit, intelligent..." He started to praise himself while counting on his fingers.

"Apni muh Miya mithu mat kijye waise hi kam fan nahi hai aapki...", She glared at a similar aged woman drooling over his looks.

😏😏(AS)

____________________________

In Their Room,

"Bas yahi cheez nahi pasand humme sardiyo ki", he said struggling to open the layers on her dressing. Their heated a kiss a little time ago has rushed the hormones in him forcing him to show his raw desire and passion for his lady love.

"There is a reason I call you desperate", she whispered in his ear smiling. Her cold feet rubbed against his calfs . "And there are many of your teasings left for revenge" First her over coat, then the pullover and now the inner warmers.

As her last layer was kept aside, she pulled him more into herself pressing their bodies more experiencing the intimate feeling.

He opened her ponytail letting the soft curls open and kissed her forehead, then her eyes taking everything slow and sweet. She cupped his left cheek and pressed her lips on his right one. Moving back she gazed in his dark orbs shining under the low light lamp.

She squirmed when he nuzzled on his heaving chest. Her hands tuged up strongly in his hairs. The scartch of her nails on his back caused him to groan.

She moaned his name when his cold hands reached down. Her hands too searched for his waist band. Their lips closed any distance between them. Hearts pounding together, making love to each other. The cold weather made them, their love made them more crazy reaching new heights of pleasure and romance.

Few moments later she was cuddling to his warm body, his hands working on her scalp, relaxing her.

(Her POV)" Pata nahi kis cheez me jaadu hai pyaar me ya aapme? Jab bhi yu aapke kandhe pe sar rakh ke sote hai or yu aap apne haath humare sar pe sehlate hai hume aisa sukoon milta hai jise hum shabdo me bayan nahi kar sakte. Apne humesha humpe believe Kara Anubhav...kabhi humara sath nahi choda...humse beinteha mohabbat ki jab hum khud pe bharosa nahi karte the, tab bhi. Hume nahi socha tha kabhi ki humme aisa life partner milega Jo humari Ammi se utna hi pyaar karta hai jitna hum karte hai...
Jab aap humare liye thode se protective hote hai na humme bade pyaare lagte hai. Aap humari ankhai bate sun lete hai, hume humse behtar samjhte hai. Humare secret keeper, humare best friend...(she pulled his cheek. He looks at her smiling) Movies jaisi aapki cheesy flirting ab humme pasand hai...lekin pehle itni chid hoti thi😂 humme har woh har tareeka pasand bai jis se aap humme special feel karwate hai...bas ab yahi chahte hai humari baki ki umar bhi aapke sath kat jaye...humare bache or unke bacho ke saath", she wished and suddenly saw a shooting star from the glass window.

The clock struck 12. She kissed his forehead deeply as if touching his soul. "Happy Anniversary Anubhav"

He hugged her and wished her "Happy Anniversary Haseena...I love you"

"I love you too Anubhav"
