Pakhi opened the door of her room when she heard a knock on it.
" Yes- uhmmmm.."
She stumbled backward but Aryan supported her by encircling his arm around her back and pulling her closer to himself. She hit his chest but he pressed his lips harder on her.
" Mmm!"
She pinched his shoulder but he did not break the kiss, instead flipped her around and pinned her against the wall. He withdrew his lips and before she could scold him, he started pampering her face with kisses.
She could sense immense joy in his action. She calmed down in some seconds and grabbed his shoulders. But, as realisation hit her she pushed him backward.
" You came so late and instead of telling me the reason, you are kissing me like a mad man."
She wiped his kiss from her cheeks and glared at him.
" Kyon Ki baat hi itni khushi ki hai."
( Because a very joyful thing happened today.)
He stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders. She stared at him curiously, " did you win any lottery?"
He chuckled, " it's better than a freaking lottery. Jay and I sorted out everything."
Her expression softened and a wide smile spread on her lips, " really? How?"
She got excited in no second. He nodded and lifted her up in his arms. He walked toward the bed with her.
" We were at the park and he wanted to hear everything from me. I did not hide anything and when he realised his mistake, he hugged me. We both ride on bikes for one hour straight."
" Really? Was bhai happy?"
He put her on the bed, " yes yes. Very much."
He removed his blazer and shirt one by one.
" So this is the reason for your happiness?"
" Ahn," he threw his shirt on the ground and climbed up on the bed.
" But you didn't have to kiss me like a mad man. I thought you lost your mind," she complained.
" Vo to Kam tha. Abhi aur karunga," he said with an evil smile on her lips and came closer to her.
( That was less. I will do more now.)
She rested her back against the headpost and showed her palm to him.
" Nope. You are not allowed to-"
He pushed her hand away. She gasped slightly at his behaviour.
" You are-"
He interrupted her in the middle by placing his lips on her. She instantly melted and dropped her hands down. He broke the kiss only to sit beside her with back against the headrest.
He looked at her and she turned her gaze low. She smiled shyly when he patted on his lap. Did she want to argue? No. Did she not want the kiss? No, she really wants the kiss.
So, she came on his lap and wrapped her legs around his torso. He placed his hand on either side of her waist.
" There's no strings attached, right?"
She frowned at his question, " kya mai aisi waisi lag rahi hun aapko?"
( Do I look like that to you?)
" Kaisi?"
( How?)
" That I'll kiss you without-"
She stopped in the middle when she realised what she was about to stay. He smiled mischievously. She got triggered by his smile,
" Arg! You always ruin the moment-"
He put his lips on her forehead for 5 seconds straight then broke it only to whisper, " aaj nahi karunga pakka."
( I won't do it today.)
She smiled when he placed his lips on her tenderly and tilted his head to deepen the kiss. She circled her hands around his neck and felt him sucking her lower lip three times slowly. She felt butterflies everytime.
He was so good with his actions. She curled her fingers in the band of his vest and parted her mouth to suck his upper lip. She felt tingled and so daring. He smiled in the kiss and travelled his one hand up to her neck.
He cupped the back of her neck and pulled her closer to himself. Her breathing stopped for a second. She broke the kiss and breathed, " am I your first kiss?"
" Hn," he whispered and smashed his lips on her. It was such a euphoric answer. She knew the answer and just wanted to hear it from him. She ran her fingers up to his hair.
She is losing this bet without any doubt and has no remorse in this. She can embrace such defeats again and again. The heart has made a mistake, what can be done now?
Her heart skipped a beat when he rolled his tongue on her lips and she subconsciously parted her mouth, making him slip his tongue slowly inside her. Electrical sensations strike as her tongue touches his warm one.
The feeling is new, sensation is new and she is really loving the new phase of her life.
" Mm~"
She frowned when his kiss turned harsh as time passed. Her body stiffened when he slid his hand under her suit from the slit part and his palm came in contact with her bare back.
Her heart thumped inside and nipples hardened. She is not wearing any bra- realisation brought a red hue up to her cheeks.
The kurti stretched upward along with his hand. Goosebumps spread on her skin and she forgot the kiss, diverted her whole focus on his hand which is running on her back as if he owns the territory.
His tongue collided with her as he sucked her lips, letting out a satisfying voice. His hand stopped just where the band of bra was supposed to be. He smirked and broke the kiss. He pulled her closer to his chest in a jerk by applying pressure on her back.
She opened her eyes slowly along with him and he uttered in his deep dangerous voice, " you are such a vixen. I believe you did this on purpose."
She widened her eyes and shook her head, " I did not."
He smiled and pecked her lips and uttered against her lips, " I feel like tearing this cloth of yours and kissing every inch of your body."
She could sense the intensity in his voice while uttering the above sentence. Just the imagination shook her to the core and she ended up curling her toes. She cupped his cheeks with her soft hands..
" Jaan lene ka irada hai kya?"
( Do you intend to kill me?)
He shook his head and replied in a few seconds,
" Tumhe apna banane ka."
( To make you mine.)
Her cheeks turned crimson and surprisingly she did not break eye contact. Was it the indication that she was falling in love with him?
" Itna asaan hai kya?"
( Is it that easy?)
She teased him and felt him caressing her back with the pad of his thumb.
" Jo pyar asaani se mil jaye wo pyar hi kya."
( The love which is easily available is not love at all.)
" Bada shayrana andaaz hai aapka," she remarked and made herself comfortable on his lap then placed her head on his chest.
( Your style is very poetic.)
" Just for you," he placed his other hand on her head and she closed her eyes.
" You know, bhai won't fight for me now," Pakhi said.
" I know."
She pouted, " means I have to spend my life with you?"
He smiled and put his chin on the crown of her head, " am I that bad?"
" So bad," she replied.
He lay down with her over himself and caressed her hair until she drifted into her dream. She is falling in love with him- he can sense it. The way she let him kiss her, touch her showed how comfortable she has become with him. She is not such a girl who would let him touch her without any feelings. She has some boundaries of her own which she only lets a few selected people cross.
But the string of love is still fragile. It can break anytime. He will have to work hard to strengthen this bond. Someone- like Jivika can make efforts to separate them.
He doesn't care about her. What can she do? He will handle her.
He smiled happily and closed his eyes to sleep. Today was the best day. He got his best friend back and realised feelings of his wife, who has yet not confessed.

Jaydev saluted the commissioner who called him at the police station before midnight. The bike ride with Aryan was awesome. He felt like he was back to his bachelor days.
Other things apart, he turned his gaze at the 45 girls they saved. All seem scared and are standing in the corner. He felt so happy. He is feeling very at peace after saving the lives of these 45 girls.
" He is in jail currently. Khan interrogated but he is too stubborn to let out anything from his mouth," the commissioner said.
Jaydev looked at him, " what do we do next?"
" We will keep this a damn secret for now. No media and people outside should know about him."
Shefali stepped forward, " what if it causes trouble? Shouldn't we take precautions? His gang can attack us."
The commissioner nodded, " You are absolutely correct, Shefali and I do have plans for that."
" What?"
Jaydev asked and the commissioner shared the plan. The team agreed to the plan and gave a promise to the commissioner- not to disclose the truth to anyone until they catch the boss.
Jaydev walked toward the girls and forwards a comforting smile at them. The terrified girls stared at him nervously.
" Don't worry. You all are safe. You all will be at your home tomorrow. Just cope with us and tell your addresses to the officer there."
They looked at Shefali. Suddenly, the youngest among the girls came forward with tears in her eyes. His heart clenched while she adjoined her hands at him.
" Thank you, bhaiya. Thankyou for saving us.."
Jaydev smiled, getting a glimpse of Pakhi in her. All of them are just like his sisters. If he can turn the world upside down for his sisters, then how can he allow injustice to happen to them?
He put his hand on her head and caressed her head. Rest of the girls also thanked the team of officers one by one. Shefali and another lady officer started to note down their address one by one.
Jaydev checked the time in the watch. 12:30 PM. Shruti must be asleep by now. Today was hectic, adventurous and memorable. He and Aryan joined hands once again.
From his side, he won't ever suspect him now.
The commissioner booked a hotel with 23 rooms for the girls. Jaydev left for his home after he was sure of their security. Some officers were posted outside the hotel.
Jaydev arrived at his home at 2:45. He opened the door of his bedroom and as expected, Shruti was asleep.
He sighed softly and closed the door slowly. He removed his clothes and wore trousers underneath before climbing up on the bed. Just when he slipped into the covers, Shruti woke up.
" Aap.."
( You?)
She blinked her eyes several times and lifted her body a little up.
" Aa gaye aap?"
( You came?)
He hummed and forcefully turned his back at her after laying down.
" Dinner?"
" Had it," he replied and closed his eyes. Shruti stared at him for some good seconds before laying down to sleep again.
She is sure he ignored her but she is too sleepy to think about that. She will deal with him tomorrow. Her sleep is more important.
Next morning, Shruti sat down beside him. He is still asleep. She doesn't feel like waking him up. She forwarded her hand and slipped her fingers into his hair. Her heart fluttered seeing his face.
She regretted running her fingers into his hair because his sleep disturbed and he lazily opened his eyes. He groaned in his sleep and turned his head at her. He stared at the clock and gasped before sitting up immediately.
She startled and stared at him confusedly.
" Shit!"
He cursed and removed cover from his body then got down from the bed. He made his way to the bathroom hurriedly. She shook her head in disbelief and put some essential things in her handbag.
She left the room and had breakfast with his family. He, too, joined them soon but did not eat much. They departed together from home.
Shruti glanced at his face from time to time and cleared her throat to end the stupid silence.
" So, why were you late yesterday?"
He glanced at her for a mere seconds before replying, " work."
" I know... But you never stay out this late."
" I do. It hasn't been long since you've been living with me. That is why you are not used to it."
She smiled and said, " fir dalwa do aadat mujhe."
( Then get me used to it.)
He frowned while she wondered if he got her hint or not. He did not give her the opportunity to hear the answer to this question and changed the topic itself.
" When are exams getting over at your university?"
Shruti's smile faded but she still replied, " today is the second last exam. It's not like I'll get holidays anyways. Why?"
He shrugged his shoulders, " just asking."
Shruti chewed the corner of her lower lip as a thought crossed her mind. She wants to know about the conversation with Rohini and Dravid.
" Uhm, did.. you prepared your answer?"
" What answer?"
" The answers to our relationship," Shruti replied.
He did not say anything for a minute and focused on his driving. She eagerly waited for his answer which he, fortunately gave,
" Yes."
" What is it?"
She hesitated to ask this question. She prayed for a good answer but his face did not indicate that he would give a good answer.
" I will talk to a lawyer today and get the divorce papers ready."
Her heart stopped beating for a second and eyes turned dull as she uttered, " oh."
As much as she hated hearing the above answer, he felt more disgust in giving this answer.
She parted her mouth to ask another question, " do you not want Pakhi now?"
He shook his head and changed the gear.
" No. Everything's sorted between me and Aryan. I do not think Pakhi can get someone better than him. I was in denial. I always knew he was meant for Pakhi only."
She felt happy for her brother but sad for herself. She doesn't know where he placed himself and her in this decision. Does he really want to get rid of her? Doesn't he like her even a little bit?
" Means.. we are done in a few days?"
She asked with a small smile on lips. He, placing a stone over his heart, replied in a low voice, " yes.."
She looked outside the window and exhaled a heavy breath. She did not expect her new year to be like this. He is leaving her at the point when her heart has learned to beat for him. But what if she tells him she loves him and he still leaves her? No, she cannot make such a mistake.
She does not want him to keep her as a burden. She was a fool to develop feelings for him when he already loved someone.
" You should,"
She looked at him and he continued,
" You should continue with your life. I did very wrong to you. I behaved badly with you just for revenge which was the reason for my blindness. I suspected Aryan when he was completely true and dragged you to hell."
Agar ye narak hai to mujhe rehna hai isme- she couldn't gather courage to say this.
( If it's hell, I want to live in it.)
" I will apologise to your parents. That depends on them if they forgive me or not. I will compensate for destroying your last two months."
" How?"
She dared to ask.
" Just..."
He shook his head, " I don't know how but I will."
She chuckled with a hint of sarcasm in it and said, " This means there are no restrictions on me now?"
He knitted his eyebrows and she said more precisely,
" Means I can stay with anyone I want. Even with my guy friends, right? You won't stop me."
He gulped down his saliva and grasped the steering wheel tightly. She noticed the change in his body language and the way his eyes darkened.
" And you won't stop me from dancing with them, attending parties with them etc. Etc."
His nerves popped due the way his grip tightened on the gear. It looked as if he would break it any moment. Corner of her lips curved into a small smirk.
" Of course," he replied forcefully.
She chuckled and tucked the strands of her hair behind the ear.
" Finally I'll be free," she tried provoking him and succeeded because he ended up clenching his jaw.
" What a beginning of a new year. Thank you, husband of 2 months."
Jaydev irked but chose not to voice out his emotions through words. He dropped her at university and left from there.
Shruti shook her head and chuckled, " Deny as much as you want but I will make you express your true feelings before your birthday. Either there will be a fight or love between us. Nothing between."
" With whom?"
Tarun came from behind. Shruti looked at him and smiled widely,
" Tarun~ I need your help."
" Please don't tell me it's related to your husband. I hate his guts. He will hit me someday."
She laughed and shook her head, " no, he won't. I'll save you."
They walked inside the university while talking to one another.
Jaydev hit the steering wheel and cursed under his breath.
" I fucking hate my situation!"
He pressed the accelerator as the signal turned green.
