Haseena rushed down to kitchen to get some food for him. She didn't talk to anyone as he was already running late on his medicines.

KS- ye MS bina kuch bole hi chali gayi? Hum..hum dekh kar aate hai.

Ammi- Ruko Karishma hum dekhte hai.

Haseena enters his room to find him lost seeing something in his hand. It was the same photo frame he hid when she entered before. With a plate of food she sat beside him and saw the picture. It was clicked by her Ammi when they went to AS's home after he returned from Delhi and talks of their sagai started. Life took a full 360 for them after that.

In that picture Haseena had hugged Maa from one side and Anubhav from the other. At the back his father's picture was hung. Maa had gone emotional, remembering him, on the day of a new beginning for her children.

He rubbed his finger tip over his father's image. "Baba ki bohot yaad aa rahi hai, Haseena", his voice was a bit cracking. Keeping the plate aside, she hugged him side ways. She never saw him such emotional. May be he was more emotional than her but never showed.
Ammi saw this and was relieved a bit. She thought of giving the couple some space who had already suffered a lot.

"Anubhav aapne Maa ko abhi sach batane se kyu mana kiya?", she asked. Her hands were strongly holding his arm. "Agar hum abhi Maa ko sach batate hai aur apne swasthye ke baare me kahenge toh vo vapis laut aayenge...abhi humare dost (mission partner) ki patni ko zyada zarurat hai unki. 6 mahine ka sishu hai aur unke Mata pita bhi us ghatna se ubhar nahi paaye...ek baar vaha sab sahi ho jaaye toh hum unhe batadenge.", he stated. Her heart melted at his thoughts. "I love you", was the only thing she thought she could say in response. He has always kept others before him, in the worst situations too.

She was indeed lucky to have him as he was to have her.

"Chaliye ab khana khaiye...bohot late ho gaya hai medicines ke liye", she declared taking the plate between them. He was satisfied, emotionally too, eating from her hands and sharing the plate with her.

"Ye lijye aapki davaiya...ab change ho gayi hai...aur ha aapki neend ki dava humne doctor se request karke band karva di hai...agar aapko neend aane me abhi bhi dikkat ho toh hume batana." He smiled at her, without even telling once, she knew he didn't like to depend on a pill, for sleep.

She wished him good night and was going to leave when he interrupted,
hesitant to ask,
"Ahh..agar aap comfortable hai toh...(in one go, closing his eyes) humare saath yahi so sakti hai?"

"Toh isme aap itna hichkicha kyu rahe hai?", she asked smiling. Switching of the lights she laid beside him, holding his palm. "Aap humare life- partner hai".

"Aap sachme humse shaadi karna chahti hai?", he asked once again.

She scowled. "Aap phirse humse thapad khana chahte hai?", she said angrily.

"Sorry", he mumbled closing his eyes with a peaceful smile. "Agar hum aaj Anubhav ko batayenge mission ke baare mein toh shayad phirse inhe neend lene me dikkat ho...ek do din aur intezar karte hai", she thought.

"Kya soch rahi hai?"

"Aa..khuch nahi...humne aapko zor se thappar maara? Sorry!". He pulled her a little more closer, keeping her hand over him.

"Ab toh lagta hai humme iski aadat bandhni padegi ", he laughed while she narrowed her eyes at him. "Ek baar mukka, phir laat , ab chaata?", he added faking sadness. Her lips formed an 'O'. "Humne aapko laat kab maari...joothe", she stated. "Maari thi, pakdawa vivha ke case me", he said with a sly smile. "Vo toh humne aapko bachane ki liye maari thi...aur aise toh hum aapko hazaar baar aur maar sakte hai", she answered with a smirk.

"Humare shaadi se pehle ye haal hai, shaadi ke baad kya hi hoga", he teased her.
Both slept teasing while each other, enjoying light hearted conversation after a storm.

Next day.

Ammi walked in with a black dargha dhaga for Anubhav. HM was at her room and he was alone. It will be the first time they will meet after the incident.

"Ammi..aa..Suprabhaat", he said a bit hesitant.

"Suprabhaat ", she said with a stern look. "Apna haath aage karo", she continued and tied the dhaga around his arm. "Isko apni tabiyat ekdum sahi hone ke baad hi nikalna", she ordered and was leaving when he called her, "Ammi", she stopped midway. A tear dropped her eyes.

"Humne jo bhi kiya uske liye humme maaf kar dijye...Jante hai shayad aap hume maaf na kare par uss din humare paas shayad iske alava koi chara nahi tha hum nahi chahte the ki humare vajha se aap apni hi beti se dur ho jaye".

"Aur jo tumne humare bete se humme alag kiya uska kya? Us din bhi humme yakeen tha ki tumhari koi majbori thi...par uske baad kabhi himmat nahi hui Haseena se iske baare me baat karne ki" she said.

"Aapko kya lagta hai humne sahi kiya?", he asked.

"Khuch paristhitiyo me na khuch sahi hota hai na galat. Agar sirf Haseena ki Ammi bankar baat kare toh shayad humme bohot gussa aata agar tumhari vajha se Haseena ki jaan ko khatra hota, par tumhara aur humara bhi koi rishta hai, ek desh bhakt parivaar ka hum hissa hai. Itna sab hone ke baad ek baat samaj aa gayi ki tum dono ke saath rehne se shayad khatra ho sakta hai, Haseena ki jaan ko...ya tumhari bhi...par tum dono ek dusre ke saath khush rahoge....vo bankar jo tum ban na chahte ho. Haseena ke Abbu jaane ke baad kabhi vo itni khush nahi hui jitna vo tumhare saath hoti hai. Asli Haseena ko abhi sirf tum aur hum jaante hai, varna vo SHO sahiba toh bohot boring hai", she said, laughing a bit at last. "Aur hum tumse bilkul naraz nahi hai...tumne apna sab khuch bhul ke humari beti ki jaan bachai hai...bas apni sehat ka dhyan rakho".

"Vahh Matlab humari zindagi ke do sabse aziz log humme boring bol rahe hai", HM entered the room with a frown on her face.

"Ha toh har waqt jazbaat...shayari...bilkul boring", ammi taunted.

"Apko bhi hum boring lagte hai?", she asked him squinting her eyes. "Humari ye majaal hum aapko boring kahe?", he replied dramatically.

"Nikah se pehli hi agar Haseena ki saari baate maan ne lage toh hogaya tumhara beda garg", ammi laughed.

( I am skipping the conversation of MPT and AS's first interaction. I didn't get anything solid.)

__________________

2 days later.

In evening, HM returned from thana, early.
She prepared to cups of coffee and went up stairs to her room. He was reading a book. It was only 3 days more, after which she has to leave for the mission.

AS- aree aap jaldi aa gayi?

HM- ha voh case solve ho gaya tha toh humne socha kyu na kuch samay hum aapke saath bitaye? Hume aapse ek bahot zaruri baat bhi karni hai.

AS- kahiye?

HM- abhi nahi pehle aap ye coffee khatam kijye phir upar chhat pe tehlte hue baat karenge.

______

At terrace, they were walking hand in hand when AS spoke.

AS- ab toh bataiye kya zaruri baat hai?

HM- (She held him by shoulders) aap apne dost ke liye ek mission pe jaana chahte the na...vo mission pe ab hum jaa rahe (tells the conversation with his boss in hospital)

AS- Haseena, abhi bhi samay h mission me 2 hafto me hum theek ho jayege, aur is mission ko hum purn karke lautenge.

HM- nahi (sternly) aap ki tabiyat theek nahi hai aap kahi nahi jaane wale...
Aapko humari kabilayat pe bharosa nahi?

AS- Haseena baat ye nahi hai...aap pe humme pura bharosa hai par aapko is mission me unki hi gang me shamil hone hai....bahot hi vahiyad mahaol hota...agar cover blow hogaya toh ek baar bhi nahi sochenge vo aap pe gun taan se pehle. Aapko anubhav nahi hai aise Missions ka.

HM- uske liye toh humme 2 hafte ki training le rahe hai. (Calmly)

AS: Haseena (worrying). He closed his eyes, calming himself. He can't stop her from serving the country, her duty but deep down he was scared and sad that she was taking over his threat.

HM: aapki tarha hum bhi ye nahi chahte ki vo officer vo suffer kare jo hum dono ne kiya. Hum aapka promise aur apni duty puri karna chahte hai...bharosa rakhiye humpar...ab humari kahani ka ant adhurapan nahi hoga.

Mumbling her name he hurled himself in her arms. How could he say to her that he is now scared to loose...scared of his destiny who throws her apart from him? He clasped her so tightly that they were almost a single person. She could feel his heart beat faster. Hiding his worry, he broke the hug and said smiling,
"Humme aap pe pura bharosa hai...aap zarur safal hoke ayengi", he said. Cupping her face he kissed her forehead and cheeks.
"Hum aapse atyant prem karte hai, priye". "I love you, too, Anu". She folded her arms around him for a hug again.

____

(The Day When HM has to leave)

AnuSeena were in her room. He checked her bag for one last time again and embraced her in a tight hug. There was fear in one corner of his heart but he didn't express. "All the Best, SHO HM", he whispered against her skin as he kissed her forehead.

It was time she had to leave. But he stopped her at the room's door.

AS- aapko humari baat yaad hai na? Humme is mission ki puri jaankari pehle se hi gyaat hai...toh aapko kabhi bhi koi dikkat aaye toh aap humare gupt number pe durbhash kar sakti hai...humme aapki kabiliyat pe pura bharosa hai...lekin..........

HM- haa Anubhav hum jaante hai...aap ab tak 100 baar keh chuke. (He was about to speak) hum apna khayal rakhenge.

HM- ab aap humari baat suniye chahe hum 1 mahina lagakar aaye ya usse zyada...jab bhi hum lautenge aapki blood reports normal honi chahiye aapki chot bhi theek ho jaani chahiye.

He nodded.

HM- aur..

AS- aur hum tab tak duty join nahi karenge jab tak doctor permission na de..

HM- aur...

AS- (cutting her again) apna aur ammi ka khayal rakhenge....ye baate aap hume sau baar keh chukki hai (smiling)

HM- ab chale hum? Varna sab chidayenge.

(Only KS and AS know about Mission)

AS- ji.

She turned to leave but he called out again. Calmly she looked back again and without saying anything he rested his lips on her. It was their first. He waited for her to calm. He could feel her body shiver and lips tremble against his. She moved closer, enveloping her arms around him. Taking cue he kissed her softly, pouring all his love and adoration for her. Her body was flushed and on fire. He too felt butterflies, when she kissed him back. Her hands were fisted on his shoulder and hairs, while his one arm secured his waist and his other hand was clinged to her silky soft hairs. Feeling the need of air they parted. She buried her face in his chest, too shy to look in his eyes.

HM- ye kya tha?

AS- vapis kareke bataye?

HM- (whining) Anuuu!! (Her hold around him tightened)

AS- nahi kabhi kabar hum sochte hai ki kya aap sachme masoom hai ya sirf humare liye?

She looked upwards in his deep eyes which still felt intimidating.

HM- aur aapko aisa kyu lagta hai?

AS- ek insaan haatho me phool lekar, apne ghutno pe baitha ho toh vo kisi ko apne prem ka izhar hi karene wala hoga na? Phir bhi aap humse saval kar rahi thi?

HM- toh humme bhi kya pata tha ke sheher ke DSP darvaza khula rakh kar apne cabin me ye sab karenge? Aur usse badi baat ek negotiation specialist "humare ghutne gir gaye", ye kahenge?
Very bad Anu...Not expected (teasing)

AS- haa toh hum kya karte? Us samay hume samajh hi nahi hum aapko kaise apne dil ki baat kahe? Vaise is baat se humme ek aur ghatna yaad aayi... (She raised her eyebrows) yaad hai ek baar humari gaadi kharab hui thi?( she nodded) wo bhi humne swayam ki thi taaki aapse lift maang sake parantu aapne humara sara plan chopat kar diya (He frowned)

HM- ab is baat pe hum kya hi kahe, janaab! Humse thodi prerna lete...humne kaise aapko bindaas sarak ke beech apni dil ki baat kahi

AS- haa! Haa! Itna bhi bindaas nahi hona chahiye hai ki bhul jaye wireless pe pure Lucknow ko bata de.

(She blushed, both were nostalgic but it was time to leave. He gently kissed her forehead, her face still felt warm due to their first kiss. She planted her lips on his cheeks and both bid each other cheerful return instead of a emotional bye)

____________

2 months later.

In the these two months both have been at each other's place. Anubhav understood that when you love someone truly you have the right to wait for your love. It may be painful but less than what he felt after the sagai incident.

Whereas Haseena understood the reason of him leaving everything for her and their family. She never feared about her cover being blown but what if they know about her family.

Both understood that the chance of negative happening is equal to the positive ones.

Their was just a 'may be' they would fall apart, serving their country. More than that their was a peaceful dream that they would live a life they wish for with each other.

At Midnight,

Haseena called Anubhav, first time after leaving. Since it was 2:00 am in night, she didn't disturb her mother. Anubhav picked the call in 2nd turn. It was from an unknown number.

"Anu". His breath choked and he sat straight with a jerk. His heart found peace listening to her. Silence prevailed, they could hear each other's heavy breathing until he spoke.

AS- Haseena aap theek hai na? Mission safal raha na?

HM- (widely smiling) ha hum ekdam theek hai...mission successful raha.

AS- (He was silent for some more time) sachme na aapko koi chot toh nahi aayi na?

HM- Bilkul nahi hum ekdum theek hai...bas right hand me ek do kharoch aayi hai. Acha aap ye sab chodiye ye bataiye aap kaise hai? Health reports normal hui na? Ammi kaise hai? Maa vapis aayi? MPT kaisa chal raha hai?

AS- aree priye humme uttar dene ka mauka toh dijye (her heart skipped a beat listening to 'priye' after 2 long months)

HM- farmaiye janaab

AS- humari health report 1 mahine pehle hi bilkul normal ho gayi thi...khuch bhi upar neeche nahi hai...ek dum fit and fine aap jaldi se aake dekh lijye...

HM- hum kal subha aa rahe hai...3 baje pahuche gi humari train...time se lene aa jana.

AS- time se pehle hi pahuch jayenge

HM- aur ha ammi ko mat btana varna vo raat bhar jaage gi, unhe suit nahi hota late tak jaagne unhe batana ki subha ayenge.

AS- ji. Aur ha ammi bilkul theek hai aur maa aapke jaane ke do hafte baad aa gayi thi. Bahot daat padi humme unse. Bilkul aapki tarha kiya unhone. Humare kaan kheche aur gale laga liye...bohot mushkil hua unhe sambhalna. Pehle din toh unhone jaane hi nahi diya apne aap se door.

HM- maa hai aapki Anubhav...jayaz hai ye sab...ab toh sabh theek hai? Aapne duty join ki wapis.

AS- ha ab sab theek hai. Aur aapko hi jaan kar bada hi dukh hoga ki hum vapis se DSP ban gaye hai (teasing)

HM- haa dukh toh hai thodasa...ki aap jaise kharoos DSP vapis aa gaye par acha hai un bhukkad ganju DSP se chutkara milla. Bas khate rehte the aur order dete rehte the. Ab aap chahe zaalim ho par kamse kam humari madat aur kadr toh karte hai.

AS- aap humari tareef kar rahi hai ya burai?

HM- dono (laughing)

AS- aapke jaane ke baad nayi SHO aayi thi MPT mein. Zara apni team se puchna, kya uttam ulekh karte hai vo unka. Aap aaye toh humara unse peecha chuthe.

HM- aapse peeche chuthe Matlab aapki thori senior hai?

AS- ha lekin bahot hi flirt karti hai na humse (in flow)

HM- (jealous) aap humare peeche ye sab kar rahe the? PJ sahi kehti hai sabhi mard ek jaise hote hai.

AS- aree humne kaha vo hum se flirt karti hai, hum nahi. Ab SHO hai milna toh padega hi (teasing) lekin hum unse 2 gaj ki doori bnake rakhte hai.

HM- Mr. Anubhav Singh humme vapis aane dijye, phir dekhte hai aapko.

AS- jaldi aaiye jaana, bahot miss kar rahe hai hum aapko. (Emotionally)

HM- aa rahe hai na kal (sweetly) humne bhi aapko miss kiya.

(He laid down peaceful on bed. Their was a beautiful silence between them)

AS- Haseena....

HM- ji

AS- khuch nahi....

AS- I love you.

She blushed as she could hear him kissing the phone. Seeing her colleagues around him she whispered, 'I love you too'.

__________________

Next morning, 3 AM, RailWay Station.

AS- 3:05 ho gaye...train aayi nahi abh tak (restless) durbhash hi kar lete hai.

He was going to call but he felt familiar hands encircling him from behind. His heart beats became erratic and quickly he turned over seeing the love of his life after 2 long months. He eyes her top to bottom. She was fine. Only some scratches on her hand. Time seemed to stop for them and surroundings dissolve as their eyes gleamed with happy tears.

Haseena cradled her head on his shoulder. He froze. He longed to hug her. She was clinched in his arms. He pressed her face to his chest, above his heart. Her arms tightly embraced him, ensuring him of her return, her love. With some moments, both felt relieved.
Breaking the hug, he molded her hands with his.
"Chale?"

"Ji"

"Love You, Anu"

"Love you more, Priye"
_________

Reaching her home she quietly tip toed to her mothers' room and saw them sleeping soundly and peacefully. Touching their feets she moved out, when, all of sudden, Anubhav scooped her in his arms and twirled around. She squealed lightly and interlocked her arms behind his neck. He planted soft kisses on her forehead and cheeks making her blush.

"Ab humme bhook lagi hai humare liye khuch bhojan laiye...aur mishthaan bhi. Do mahine se strict diet pe the", she said. He was amused at her antics.

"Kaun kahega ki aap ek khatarnak mission se lauti hai?", he giggled.

"Abhi hum sirf Haseena hai, vo toh SHO ka kaam tha". She too joined his laughter. "Jaaiye, aap aram kijye hum khana lekar aate hai", he spoke kissing her forehead once again.

He came up with a plate of food and saw her cuddled up in a blanket. He sat beside her and caressed her hairs. She opened her eyes flashing a smile.

"Hume toh laga tha aap humare kamre Kaya palat kar dengi but luckily sab vaise hi hai", she said moving herself on his lap. He folded her in his arms.

"Umhm, Baki sab to sahi hai par aapki adhi almari humne hathaya li(laughing) ...chaliye ab baki ki baate kal karna... abhi bhojan grehan karke araam kijye."

She finished her food. All this while she was talking and he was listening. He laid beside her and propped up on his shoulder, adoring her. "Anu aap agar aise humme ghoorenge toh humme neend nayi ayegi". "Subh ratri", he wished and spooned her body, resting his face on her. "Good Night, lekin aapki daadi chubh rahi hai humme". He moved his cheek more on hers and said "ab iski aadat dal lijye". She blushed and both drifted into sleep.

__________

Next morning, it was 7 when the mothers woke up. Ammi saw Haseena's bag lying near the sofa. She quickly moved upstairs to her room and saw her sleeping peacefully secured in his arms. She smiled, she knew her daughter told her son-in- law to lie of her arrival time as waking up till late night affects her health. She went near her and kissed her forehead. She stirred a little but still slept.

A idea cracked up her mind. Knowing it was Anubhav's leave and she wouldn't join her duty today. "Apne hone wala sohar se mil li par hume nahi bataya...chalo bhai iski punishment toh mile gi". Ammi took their phones and reached down, narrating her plan to Maa. She met Haseena and was equally excited to execute the plan.

At 9, HM woke up. She gazed him, he was sleeping calmly next to him. She was caged in his arms. Their breathes were intermingling, she could smell her fragrance on him. A ear to ear grin adorned her face. She tickled him with her hair strands. He moved nudging away her hand. She bit her lower lip and repeated. "Mat kariye, priye". "Ab aap bhi iski adat daal lijye", she chuckled. Next moment she was pulled over him. He snuggled to her embrace and closed his eyes to sleep again.
"Aap humme chode ek baar, hum Maa aur ammi se milkar aate hai". He left her smiling. Ruffling his hair she kissed his forehead.

"Anu...darvaza khul nahi raha", she complained. "Zor se khichye...barish ki vajha se jaam ho gaya hoga", he said in a sleepy tone. "Nahi Anubhav, darvaza band hi hai, bahar se". He too got up and tried.

AS- Shayad galti se band kardiya hoga. Humme lagta hai ammi aur maa kamre me aaye honge dekhne...9 baj rahe hai na hum toh kaafi pehle uth jaate hai

HM- rukiye hum phone try karte hai.
(She searches for their mobile phones but do not find them) Anu phone hi nahi hai humare.

AS- hain?

They move to the balcony to find commotion in their house. Workers entering, tempos coming.

AS- ooh bhaiya ji. Kya chal raha hai ye sab?

Man- shab ji yaha Madam ne mana kiya hai upar wale floor se koi bhi puche toh khuch batane ke liye.

HM- zarur ammi ke dimag me khurafat chal rahi hogi.

AS- acha aap kripya un madam ko toh bulaye.

Man goes, ammi and Maa comes. Haseena becomes happy seeing them.

HM- kaise hai aap dono aur ye sab kya chal raha hai?

Ammi- hum toh ekdum theek hai lekin tumse naraz hai.

Maa- aur ye sab uski saza hai. Tum kal Anu se mil li lekin hum se nahi.

AS- toh dono matao ko humse irsha (jealousy) ho rahi hai?

Ammi- keh sakte hai...ab tum dono andar band rahoge shaam tak.

HM- lekin?

AS- (whispering to her) aree kya lekin, dono ko saamne se sath rehne ka license mil raha aur aap pratishodh kar rahi hai?

HM- baat toh sahi hai? (To Ammi) lekin humare nashte aur khane ka kya. (Sadly)

Ammi- zyada muh mat bigaad tere man me ladoo phoot rahe hai pata hai mujhe. Abhi Karishma aa kar khana de jayegi.

AS- behna bhi hai?

Cheetosh, billu, PJ arrive.

CC- vo kya MS hum sabh bhi hai.

HM- ek minute, agar aap sabh yaha hai toh thana kon sambhal raha hai?

Ammi- aaj bhii kaam ki baate...khuch nahi ho sakta tum dono ka!
(She said and moved inside along with maa and PJ.)

SS- MS! aap aagayi hai na ab thane me saas aayegi....vo nayi SHO...ek dum khados, churail kahiki...PJ toh kehti thi ki pehli baar mere bhau se bhi zyada bhayankar dayan se pala pada hai...

Billu- haa MS, mera toh billu niwas me rehna mushkil ho gaya tha...vo toh sir ne bacha liye.

SS- aur same tareeke se humne sir ka naam lekar, aaj sab ne emergency me chutti leli.

Ek baat batau MS, kya flirt karti thi vo sir se...ek pe ek line maarti thi.

CC- SJ! SJ! Chup hojaiye, sir shaam tak MS ke saath hi hai, akele. Humme single piece me chaiye...

AS- tumhari hi kami thi CC, aur idea dedo.

HM- hai Kaun ye churail zara hum bhi toh mille unse.

AS- priye shaant ho jaiye...aap toh jaanti hai MPT valo ko bada chada ke kehne ki adat hai.

PJ- (while arriving and going picking a packed basket) ha ha aap toh kahenge hi...aapka kya jata hai.

AS- (murmuring) sab hi aag laga rahe hai. (Loudly) acha SS aap itna khuch toh bata chuki lage haath ye bhi bata dijye ki aap sab yaha kis cheez ke liye aaye hai. Ab aapke peth me peeda nahi uth rahi?

SS- ho toh rahi hai sir par kya haina mai bata nahi sakti varna Ammi ne muje dhamki di ki vo meri shaadi Kara degi.

Billu- aur isliye Cheete ko dar hai ki kahi aapke punishment me iski naiya na doob jaiye.

SS- kya Matlab aapka billu ji.

Billu- Matlab se hume kya Matlab Santosh ji...chaliye ab kaam pe lagte hai.

__________

"Kya chal raha hoga neeche?", he said. "Jo bhi chal raha ho hum toh yaha band ho gaye, bataye janaab kya karna hai ab shaam tak?", she asked. He held her wrist and pulled her near him. Slightly brushing her fingers on her cheeks he tucked her hair strands behind. "Shaam tak khuch khati khuch meethi baat karte hai...koi pareshaan nahi karega, sirf aap aur hum". He winked.

A sudden desire to kiss him rose inside her. Haseena climbed his toes and held onto her shoulders. Placing her hand on his face, she lusciously rubbed the tip of her thumb below his lips. Closing her eyes she minimized the space. He swallowed the lump formed in his throat. His desires rose manifold seeing her initiate. Her lips touched his, current flowed in their bodies. She was ready to loose himself in him. He gathered her close, in his arms. He smiled in between when he saw her body perfectly fitting in his embrace.
She parted to breathe and was leaning again but they were disturbed by a knock on the door. Anubhav pursed his lips to control his laugh, while she had a cute frown on her face.

(KS brought a tiffin of breakfast.)

AS- aree meri pyaari behena, zara batati jao neeche kya chal raha hai?

KS- aree mere pyare bhaiya, humme ammi se maar khane ka shauk nahi hai. Shaam ko pata kar lena.

(She left)

________

At 5 pm.

AnuSeena spent their day talking with eachother and were sleeping currently. Their family knocked the door or say banged to wake them up.

AS- (shouting) Aree aa rahe hai...pehle aap hume neeche nahi aane de rahe the ab kya kamre se bhi nikalenge?
(Whispering) Haseena humara haath chodiye aur uthiye. Bahar sabne darwaze pe halla bol diya hai.

(He releases his hand from her grip and stands to open the door, she follows. All MPT members and Ammi and Maa were dressed in traditional)

HM- aap sab log itna sajh dhaj ke kyu khare hai...vaise aap sabh bahot sundar lag rahe hai.

PJ-(excited) ye chodiye na MS, ye bataiye ki aapne darvaza kholne me itni der kyu lagai?

AS- PJ! Apne khalayi pulav pakana band kijye...vo hum dono ko bate karte karte kab ankh lag gayi pata hi nahi chala. Ab aap sab batayege ki kya chal raha hai?

SS- aapki sagai ki taiyaari.

(Her words leave anuseena in a confused state. Happy, stunned, nervous at same time)

Ammi- Haan. Humne socha iss se pehle tum ek dusre ki jaan bachane ke chakkar me phir ek dusre se alag ho, hum tumhari sagai Kara de.

Maa- aur ho bhi rahi hai bilkul jaise tum dono chahte ho ekdum saadghi se. Par ha iske baad hum ek party rakhenge humari style se.

Anubhav looked at Haseena. He knew she wanted to marry him but had doubts if so soon.

AS- (whispering)  priye, aap karna chahti hai sagai? Matlab aaj? Itni jaldi?

HM- (whispering back) hum toh karna chahte hai...aur itni jaldi kaha hai? Aapki Umar seems rekha se paar ho chuki hai.

AS- ha ha jaise aap tob abhi 18 ki hui hai. Bholiye mat abhi bhi larkiya humse flirt karti hai (taunting)

HM- zyada mat boliye, sagai ke liye ready hai?

AS- humme kya dikkat hogi?
(He whispers something in her ears)

HM- hum log taiyaar hai lekin, Ammi aur Maa idhar aaiye (She too whispers something)

_________

Haseena is sitting in front of mirror in red lehenga. Anubhav comes and makes her wear her jewelry and attaches dupatta. He kissed her neck and adjusted her curled up hairs in front. Turning her, he kisses her fingers and then her feet.

"Ab aap ye bataiye janab ki aapne, humme apne hatho se taiyar karne ki wish kyu maangi?". She said smiling, looking it him. He looked great in yellow embroidered kurta.

"Kyuki hum apni sagai ke saare lamhe toh pehle hi miss kar chuke the, na aapke saath shopping pe gaye, na card chun ne me dilchaspi dikhayi...isliye hum khuch special karna chahte the isliye ye maang liya", he said pressing a kiss on her temple. "Humari zindagi ki sabse special cheez".

He smiled and both descended down, walking hand in hand. They felt the happiest today. More happy were their family members. As they slid rings in each other's finger, there destiny were sealed for the life time.

~~~~❤~~~~

Hoping to See Anubhav's PoV this time when he returns and no love triangle dramas.
