LEAVE..........leave from here .......... before i kill you .........., Abeer said in anger while gritting his teeth and stood up from his chair so that he can  through him out of the cabin.

Bechari mam ............., vikrant again murmured looking at his angry boss while beacuse of his bad luck abeer again heard him.

VIKRANT........, abeer shouted his name loudly and his voice echoed throughout the office.

While Abeer took one step towards him in anger but by then Vikrant have run away from the cabin out of fear.

Abir touches the tip of his nose after seeing Vikrant running away from the cabin to control his anger and take a glass of water from the desk that kept on his desk and gulped down the whole glass of water in one go.

Idiot........, abeer murmured under his breath irritatingly and loosens his tie ,takes off his coat then hangs it on his chair and then sits back on his chair.

I didn't know anything about her....... like what she likes and what she doesn't like........all i know about her is that she likes to read novels..........., abeer said to himself while folding his right sleeve till his elbow.

Like seriously, this is the only thing i know about her.......that she likes to read novels ? .........., abeer questioned himself while folding his left sleeves till his elbow but stopped when he heard his own subconscious mind.

No ....Abeer Singh Rathore..... also know that chandni Sharma likes him ........ sorry my mistake she is in love with him............, abeer subconscious mind got him reminded while he also heard his subconscious mind laughing.

Hearing his own subconscious mind abeer remembers the night of Diwali when Chandni confessed her love in her sleep.

Abeer rested his back on the chair comfortably and closed his eyes,the flashback of that night started coming in front of his eyes like a beautiful scenery while abeer heard a light melodious voice on chandni in his ear.

Mr Rathore......i love you .......

Hearing chandni voice abeer immediately opened his eyes and stood up the chair.

Abeer looks around the entire cabin to see if chandni is present there in his cabin but he didn't find her and sat back on his chair.

I feel like...... I've gone crazy........ how can she be here?......at this time she must be going home from college after giving her exams......, abeer said to himself and then he takes a deep breath to calm his mind.

After calming his mind abeer started checking the file which Vikrant had brought for the sign while he was still half lost in chandni thoughts.

Abeer who's was checking official mails on his laptop after signing those files heard the telephone ringing which was lying on his desk he received that call and heard the voice of vikrant.

Sir.....the meeting room is ready, all the employees are waiting........, vikrant told him.

I will be there in 10 minutes......, abeer said in a professional tone and saying this he cut the call the and placed it back on it's place ,closed his laptop and stood up from the chair.

Abeer headed towards the bathroom and after freshening up, he came out of the bathroom and went towards his desk picked up his tie and blazer from the chair and wore it.

Abeer did his hair and took the phone from the desk and left his cabin for meeting.

As soon as Abeer enters the meeting room with his dominating aura, everyone who were present in that room stood and started greeting him.

Abeer just nodded in response while unbuttoned his blazer button then sat on his chair and asked them to start the meeting.

Abeer, for the first time was not able to concentrate in the meeting, no matter how much he tried, his thoughts kept going towards chandni but at the same time he suddenly remembers something.

I will gift her the things that attract me more towards her.........., abeer thought and stood up from the chair in excitement while a slight smile appeared on his face which was unfortunately noticed by the people who present there.

As abeer felt everyone gaze on himself he immediately composed himself and masked his emotions then again made his cold face.

He look at the people in the entire office who are looking at him in a shock ,suprise and with wide eyes.

Why the fuck i am behaving like this?.........., abeer murmured under his breath while tracing his forehead with his fingers.

Abeer corrected the coller of his suit and then cleared his throat to gain there attention.

Cancel this meeting .........., Abeer said in dominating voice and immediately starts walking out of the meeting room.

As abeer went out of the meeting room, everyone starts looking at each other in shock.

What happened to sir?...........he never cancelled meeting like this .........., one employee said while others also started murmuring about this .

Did you guys noticed he was lost in the entire meeting ?......, other employe said and some nodded listening this.

Did you guy's also noticed that's he was slightly smiling? .........., other one asked to confirm this, as till date he had never seen his boss smiling in the office.

Vikrant who was standing there listening all this gossips couldn't control himself just murmured under his breath.

Now who's gonna tell them? ..............ki ab boss ki bhi Boss aagyi ........, he  murmured and walks out of the meeting room towards abeer's cabin.

Vikrant knocks on the door of Abeer's cabin and heard him allowing to come inside.

Vikrant get my car ready in 10 minutes........, abeer said seeing Vikrant coming inside the office.

Yes sir.............., vikrant said and goes out of the cabin to call the driver and to inform him to get the car ready and then comes back to the cabin.

Sir .....the car is ready......, vikrant said  while abeer just stood up from the chair and starts walking towards the door.

Vikrant follows him to the car and after reaching there, he opens the door of the back seat of the car for Abeer.

Sir, should I also come with you?............, vikrant asked.

Like you wish..........., abeer said in scarsm while vikrant couldn't able get his scarsm and smiled looking at abeer with thought that now' he can relax.

Sit inside the car vikrant.........., abeer said irritatingly while vikrant stops smiling and immediately sits on the passenger seat.

Take me to the best jewelery shop........., Abeer said while vikrant just looked back at him to ask something, but when turned back and saw abeer pissed face, he dropped that Idea and started looking outside the window.

While after half an hour driver stop the car at the best jewelry shop there.

Abeer wears a mask and glasses and asks Vikrant to wear a cap so that no one can recognize them and then both of them went inside the shop.

As soon as both of them enter the shop, shopkeeper greets them and they sat on the chair.

Can you show me ankelts........, abeer said to the shopkeeper who just noded in response and started showing him beautiful designs of ankelts.

shopkeeper shows lots of collection of beautiful anklets to him, yet Abeer does not like them that much.

Sir, all this is beautiful ....., vikrant said, looking at Abeer, who has not liked any design that much till now.

But I didn't like them that much  ...........i want the most unique and best for her............., abeer said while vikrant gasped listening him because all the designs the shopkeeper had showed them were beautiful.

Abeer recalls Chandni's anklets design which he had with himself form there first meet and also remembers that she always wears anklets which  have lots of Ghungroos.

Can you show some different designs which have unique patterns......... and also make sure it's has lot's of ghungroos..........., abeer said while shopkeeper shows him such types of anklets and with great difficulty and one more half an hour Abeer likes nine anklets for chandni

Abeer looks around the entire shop casually but his gaze fall on something which caught his attention.

She doesn't wear toe rings .....but maa , choti mai and dadi always wears them.........Abeer thought.

Can you show me that toe rings?........., Abeer asked to show him those beautiful pairs of the toe rings that caught his attention.

Abeer also buys them along with anklets and after getting the billing done, he comes out of the shop with vikrant and went towards his car.

Abeer also bought red bangles for Chandni and then headed towards home as it was evening.

Almost one hour later abeer reaches home and went inside the living room but doesn't find anyone present there.

When he asks the servants of the house, he comes to know that his siblings and Chandni have gone out so he silently went to his room.

Abeer keeps the bag which contained a gift for Chandni and went to freshen up.

After freshening up and changing clothes, he came out of the bathroom and went towards the mirror to set his dry hairs.

( Abeer outfit)

They didn't even ask me if I want to join them or not? ........But doesn't i always refuse their offers.........., abeer thought while looking himself in the mirror and sighed.

Abir folds his sleeves a couple of times and then comes out of his room.

he was going towards downstairs when he thought to check in 'chandni Room' to confirm whether till now she came home or not.

he checked her room but when he didn't find her present there in her room he slowly went dining room and find all the elders present there at the dining table and sitting on there respective chair.

Abeer come sit........., suhana said as she saw his son in the dining room while abeer nodded in response and sat on the chair.

He starts having dinner with everyone and when he can't stop himself from asking, he looks at his mother and asks her.

Mom, haven't they come back yet ?.......,   Abeer asked looking towards his mother.

No, they just came back a moment ago when you went to your room and now they are on the terrace........., suhana said looking at him while abeer Just hummed in response.

After finishing dinner quickly, he immediately went towards the terrace but only find his siblings present there.

Where is she?............, abeer thought but at the same time he heard the jiggling sound of bangles that he thought was coming from the other side partition of the terrace.

Abeer went towards that direction where he thought that the jiggling sound of bangles was coming from and without wasting any minute he walked towards the other side of the terrace and found chandni standing near the railing, looking at the moon.

Abeer looks at chandni who was wearing a cream coloured suit with a baby pink colored dupatta pinned on her both shoulders.

Abeer saw her beautiful long black hair were open and her hands was adorned with mustard colour bangles and was still looking at the moon blankly.

Chandni who did not know that Abeer was watching her from a distance.

"Adhura sa h mera Ishq ......

Bilkul aaj ke chaand ki tarah"

Looking at the moon blankly while lost in the beauty of half moon she murmured those lines and at the same time she remembered a shayari which she had read few day's before.

Kisi shayar ne sahi hi kaha h es chaand ke baare mein......

Chandni thought while abeer come towards her without making any noise and stand behind her.

"Jab adhure chaand ki parchayi

Paani pe padi

Roshani ek na mukammal si khani pe padi "

Chandni said that shayari while admiring the moon, without knowing that the person standing behind her also heard the shayari.

(Chandni dress)

Chandni, who was standing near the railing felt someone standing behind her and heard his voice.

Red....., abeer slowly called standing behind chandni her while suddenly hearing this sound chandni jumped on her place in fear and was bend towards the railing while seeing this abeer caught hold of her hand and pulled her towards himself.

i didn't mean to scare you........, Abeer apologiticaly said and put her hands around her waist.

Abeer look at her whose fear had caused sweat to appear on the forehead.

Abeer holds Chandni's dupatta with one hand and starts wiping her forehead with that while chandni doesn't even blinked her eyes and remained silent in his arms.

Red........., abeer called her and hearing his voice chandni comes to her senses and starts looking here and there in embarrassment.

Are you fine?........ , abeer asked her who is still not saying anything.

Aap to kuch keh nahi rahi ........mei hi ek shayari pesh karta hu ......

Ijazat h? .....

abeer asked, looking into Chandni's eyes while chandni just blinked her eyes and noded absentmindedly, while still lost in there closeness.

Ager aap shayer h to, mein aapki shayari bana chahunga.............., abeer said but saw chandni is not reacting.

Biwi Gaur farmaye ............, abeer said to gain her attention while tucking her hairs strands behind her ear and successfully he got her attention.

Chandni nodded in response while still standing in his arms.

"Ager aap shayer h to , mein aapki shayari bana chahunga.....,

Aapke aankhe alfaaz aapki jubani suna chahunga.......

Ager ijazat de aap humhe.........,

Mein aapke dhadkate huye dil ki ruhani Bana chahunga"

( I would like to be the soulmate of your beating heart)

(AN)

As soon as Chandni heard Abeer's words, her heart starts beating faster while she becomes frozen in his arms and her breathing stops.

When Abeer notices that Chandni has stopped breathing, he looks at her in a concern and sighed.

Aap phir se.......... you again forgot to breathe ......... BREATH ........., abeer said lovingly and started running his fingers through her hairs to make her realx.

Biwi aap to saansein hi Lena bhul jaati h............ Abeer said listening this chandni removed her face from his chest and look into his eyes.

After few seconds later when chandni came to know that what was happening she immediately broke the eye contact and starts trying to get out of his arms but didn't loosened his grip around her.

Your hair's got entangled in my watch ............., abeer said pointing towards his watch.

She looks where he pointing but didn't said anything at the same time she heard someone's voice and footsteps approaching towards them.

Chandni looks at Abeer and when she saw he not reacting or moving from his place, she immediately immediately grabs his shirt collar and pulled him towards the other side near the wall to hide.

What are you doi......., abeer who's saying something when chandni placed her hand on his lips.

Shhh ...... Koi aa raha hai ......, chandni said softly without looking at him and paying full attention to the person who is coming towards there.

Chandni closes her eyes for fear of getting caught and fisted Abeer coller in her fist tightly when she heard the sound of someone's footsteps is coming very close to them.

Mata Rani please not now, not at all when am going away from here........, chandni prayed in her mind and slightly again pushed abeer towards the wall so that no one can see them.

Why are we hiding?.................., Abeer asked meekly while bending towards her ear and then looked back at her face.

Jii? ........chandni asked him in confusion.

why are we hiding..........

When everyone is going to know about us ............so I think there's no use........., Abeer again asked her and they felt the sound of people's footsteps going away from them.

No one,........no one is going to know anything about us........, chandni said without looking at him and then she started removing her hair's out of his wrist watch.

After few seconds later chandni removed her hairs from his watch she moved his hand away from her waist and takes two steps back away from from Abeer.

Aap mujhse dur kyu bhaagti Rehti h?..........., Abeer asked and held her end of dupatta to Stop her.

Hearing Abeer's question, chandni looked back at him.

Aap puch rahe h ?..........,chandni asked him as she remembers how he always runs away from her.

Leave my dupatta ............., chandni requested him and pulls her dupatta to remove from his grip.

I want to talk to you............, abeer said while at the same time chandni take a step closer to him and held his hand to remove her dupatta from his grip.

But I don't want........., chandni said and removed his dupatta from his grip and run away from there towards the other part of the terrace where his siblings were present.

Abeer sighed and look in the direction where the chandni has gone.

Abeer follow her to the that direction and saw she is sitting with ahana aon the duvet which was placed on the ground and looking at aditi and adi.

He went towards them and Aditi, adi caught his attention who's fighting for the same guitar.

What are you both doing? ..........., abeer asked them while his both hands were in his pockets and he stands in front of them.

bhai, he is not giving me guitar .........., as soon as aditi saw his elder brother she complain about adi.

Bhai, di is playing the guitar very tunelessly .........., adi also complained about her and hugged his guitar.

Bhai, you know naa.......I play the guitar so well ..........., aditi said while making a puppy face so that Abeer supports her.

Bhai, aditi di sings worse than Gian and plays the guitar even worse..........., adi said while listening this Aditi angrily takes steps towards him to beat him.

Shut up both of you........, abeer said and takes a guitar from adi hand's while they both felt silent and immediately sit on the ground beside ahana and chandni.

Seeing both of them sitting silently, ahana starts laughing loudly while chandni also starts smiling looking both them.

Bhai please Play a guitar for us and also sing a song .........., ahana said controlling his laugh while looking at Abeer who's just checking the guitar.

No, it's been a long time, i don't even remember whether I can play it or not............., abeer declined and extended the guitar towards Adi to give it back to him.

But his siblings started requesting him and at last he agreed to sing the song .

after looking at Chandni for a second abeer was going towards the stool which was kept infront of the everyone when he heard Ahana's voice.

Chandni where are you going.... sit........ don't worry bhai sings really well .........not like aditi and adi........., ahana said smiling and held Chandni's hand to stop her from leaving.

Hmmm...... Vishwas karein bura nahi gaata mei............., Abeer said and sat on the stool.

Chandni looks at his siblings who were smiling listening him then sits back silently.

While Adi, without getting noticed from anyone, puts the phone camera on to make a video.

Abeer looks at Chandni for a second and started singing a beautiful song while playing guitar.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Tu ajj mainu nede nede aa Len de.....

Tu ajj mainu nede nede aa Len de........,

(Let me to get a bit closer to you)

When Abeer started singing the song along with playing the guitar, his siblings' mouths got wide opened after hearing the first line of the song and they looked at Abeer in shock.

While chandni looks at him sensing his intense gaze on herself while only to get confirmed that he was looking at her and then lowered her eyelashes  while tracing her bangles in nervousness.

Soneye apne saahan de utte

(To your breaths)

Soneye apne saahan de utte,tu mainu thoda hakk ta jata Len de

Hearing this line's, Chandni 's heart starts beating faster and she looks at him and her black eyes meet Abir's brown eyes.

she breaks eye contact with abeer as she couldn't able bear his intense gaze then started looking in the other direction while still tracing her bangles in nervousness.

Adi pinch me ............, aditi said and extended her hand towards him ,Adi pinched her and she screamed in pain.

Real h ...... bhai is actually singing this song.......... , aditi said looking at ahana while ahana nodded.

Chandni looked at his siblings who's looking at abeer like he is an allein.

He put down the guitar and look at his own siblings' and saw there mouths were open and their eyes widened.

Adi said looking at his sister's and then all three start laughing dramatically.

Chandni who was silently watching all four of them without saying anything leave from there, while Abeer who noticed that gives back the guitar to Adi and making an excuse he walked behind Chandni.

Chandni went to her room and started packing around the room.

Chandni, do the same as you had decided .......... go back home from here tomorrow................., Chandni says to herself while fisting her finger and still pacing in her room.
