"Tu rutha rutha lagta h koi tarkeeb bata mnane ki,

Mein khud ko girwi rakh du

Tu keemat bata muskurane ki"

Chandni pov -

Beacuse the jiggling the sound of your bangles and ankelts is seducing me................ believe me, it doesn't fit with my condition at all........., he said in husky voice while listening him i felt something in stomach and my heart skipped a bit.

First he looked into my eyes then on my lips and then i saw him gulping seeing this i felt that my cheeks became strangely hot even my neck and ears.

We both were completely silent for a few seconds and kept looking into each other's eyes, but the way he was looking into my eyes was not at all right for my innocent heart.

I immediately lowered my eyelashes and turned my head to the other side.

My anklets and bangles are not doing anything............, I said softly under my breath and felt that my breathing was turned heavy.

Aapko andaza nahi .........., he said and started leaning towards me seeing this i closed my eyes tightly, unknowingly bit my lips and clutched the bedsheets tight in my fist.

And again everything was felt quiet the only sound i could hear was our heartbeats and breathing sound.

Not even a few seconds had passed when I felt hot air blowing on my neck and his grip is tightening on my waist over the comforter, due to which I shivered and immediately opened my eyes.

Mr....rat_hore......ky_a .....k_ er ......rah_ e......h ......, I said while shuttering because of this act of him, opened my eyes and felt him moving his head up around my neck.

With my blushing eyelashes and uneven heartbeats i turned my face towards him and found that he was already looking at me.

Nothing............"kuch karne ki ijazat hi kaha di h aapne"............., he said and then he got up from me and went back to his place.

( You didn't have given permission to do something)

I saw from the corner of my eyes that he lay back down on his place with one hand behind his head and the other one on his stomach.

Without saying anything i turned to his other side to control my racing heart beat and quickly clutched the comforter near my chest and because of this again the jiggling sound of my bangles and anklets echoed in the room and I closed my eyes in frustration for a second.

Why are they making so much noise today ?..............or I noticed this for the first time?................

I thought looking at my bangles and at the same time i heard him.

Remove ....them......., he said , listening his deep voice i shifted on my place.

I took a deep breath and sat on the bed, removed the comforter from myself and adjusted the dupatta properly on my shoulder.

While doing all this, I could feel heated gaze on me whole time but i ignored him and forwarded my hands to remove my anklets.

With great difficulty i took out one of my anklet and placed it on the bed between us then started removing second one.

Nahi dekhye........., i murmured slowly when i couldn't bear his heated gaze on me anymore and placed my second anklet on the bed.

Ab aap mujhe khud ko dekhne ki ijazat bhi nahi dengi?.............., he said while turning towards me and picked my anklets from the bed in his hands while seeing this i turned towards him

( Now you won't even let me see you ?.......)

my ....anklets ........meri... ankelts wapas karein aap..........., i said and reached out my hands to take my anklets from him while he moved my anklets further away from me and shook them due to which a jiggling sound started coming from my anklets.

Give ......me my.... anklets.........., i said while he again extended his hands further away from me and smirked.

Seeing this unknowingly I leaned towards him at the same time my clumsy mode got activated and i fell on his hard chest.

I closed my eyes in embarrassment and immediately started trying to get up from him.

You're testing my patience ......Red........., i heard him saying and raised my face above his chest to see him looking at him.

Na_hi ........nah_i .....i am not doi_ng anythin_g .........., i said and sits back to my place and adjusted my dupatta around my shoulder.

Let me say it again…you have no idea....biwi......., he said and placed my anklets on the night stand by his side.

I remained silent after listening to him and quickly removed all the bangles from my hands leaving only two in each hand and then put them on my side of night stand.

Why didn't you take off your all bangles?................, he said and i looked at him as soon as i heard this.

Yu hi ........, i said in whisper and picked a pillow and placed it between us on the bed.

Hmm....but why are you keeping the pillow in the middle? .........., he said and immediately picked up that pillow, placed it under his head and smiled.

I remained silent without saying anything and lay down on the bed and covered myself with the comforter because I knew that if I said or did something then he would find a new idea to tease me.

Red......., he said and i did not ignore him like before, remembering the scene happen few times ago.

Soo jaayein aap.........., i said and felt him grabbing my dupatta.

Hmmm......., he said at the same time he pulled my dupatta a little but i immediately caught a hold of my dupatta to stop him.

Now ....why do you ....want my dupatta......., i said and without turning i look at him over my shoulder.

You're not letting me cuddle with you so for now I'm adjusting with your dupatta............,he said and pulled half of my dupatta and clutched it near his chest.

let me sleep red......., he said i facepalmed myself listening him like as if I was disturbing him and started looking back at the wall silently.

Author

Your eyes, your words, your smile, all these are pulling me towards you .......Mr Rathore............I am dying ....... dying even thinking...... how I am going to live without you.........., chandni thought and buried her face lightly in the pillow.

Thinking all this, Chandni falls asleep while still abeer was awake as sleep is still far away him.

Chandni turns towards Abeer in her sleep while Abeer looks at her who is looking as beautiful as ever, without any makeup and with some of her hair covering her face.

"Kitni haseen Raat h

Chaand asmaan mei aur chandni mere pass h".

Abeer murmured looking at her glowing face and smiled.

I don't know what has happened, why you are acting like this?.........i just Know that it isn't because of my past behaviour, there is some other reason behind it............,

Abeer thought and covered her with the comforter till her neck and while seeing her face he also falls asleep.

Morning -

Chandni opens her eyes and feels that Abeer's hand is on her stomach over the comforter she looks at him and find that her dupatta is spread on his chest.

It's good that he did not swear on me in the 2 promises, otherwise I would have been with god ............, chandni thought while looking at him who's sleeping so adorably and whose forehead was covered with his hair.

Who can say that a person who always keeps an angry face would look so innocent while sleeping? .................she murmured and brought her hand to remove the hair from his forehead.

Lost in that moment, she leans towards him and kisses his forehead.

And at that very moment she sees him moving slightly in the sleep.

Afraid that Abeer might have woken up from his sleep chandni immediately got up from the bed and she runs to the wardrobe she takes out a suit from it and without looking back at him she went to the bathroom with it.

you deserve a better girl just like that .... that aunty said not someone like me....... also Suhana Aunty has already found a girl for you..........,

Chandni said while leaning on the bathroom door and touched her forehead in frustration.

After a few seconds, she shrugged all thoughts that were disturbing her and goes to freshen up.

After some time, when Chandni comes out of the bathroom after freshening up, finds Abeer still sleeping.

Still sleeping........, doesn't he have to go office.........Should I wake him up?............., she thought, with slow steps she goes towards him and extends her hand to touch his shoulder.

this won't go right ..........., she thought and takes her hand back she picks her anklets from the night stand and her bangles from the other night stand then went to her vanity and stand infront of that.

Chandni looks at Abeer through the mirror for a second and then started drying her hair with a towel and put it on the chair which was placed next to her.

Abeer wakes up from sleep when chandni was drying her hair and he keeps looking at her with his half open eye's silently and pretend that he is sleeping so that chandni does not know this that he has woken up from sleep.

This dream is exactly similar to the one I saw 7 months ago .....her being in a red dress....also drying her hair with a towel......, abeer thought looking at her who is pinning her red dupatta on her shoulder.

After wearing her dupatta, Chandni turned to look at him and at that time seeing her turning abeer immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Seeing him sleeping, she took out the vermilion box from the bottom drawer and was about to open it when she heard his voice and felt herself frozen at the same place.

Red ........ He said while standing behind me and took the vermilion box from her hands.

He saw my vermillion box.........., chandni thought while looking down and clutches her side of suit in her fist in nervousness.

Turn around ardhangini..........., he said looking at her through the mirror.

Chandni closed her eyes for a few secon while her heart skiped a bit listening the word " ardhangini" and then few seconds later she turned towards him.

Mr... Rathore.....uh ......please return ...... return my vermi_lion bo_x........., chandni said without looking at him forwarded her hand to take the vermillion box.

No...let me do the work that only i have the right to do......, abeer said listening this she looks at him.

Abeer opens the vermillion box and takes a pinch of vermillion from that seeing that Chandni is about to take a step to leave from there when abeer keeps his hands on the other side of her on the venity and caged her in between.

Mujh..e..... jaane d_ein aap........, chandni said looking down at her feet and starts trying to get out from there.

Seeing her attempt, Abeer removes his hands from both the sides.

Seeing this chandni looked at him  for second and about a step take forward to leave the from there when Abeer's voice stops her from moving.

Take a step forward from here, trust me you will regret whatever happens after this......., abeer said in dead serious voice and on hearing his voice shiver passed down on her body and she stood frozen at that place.

Abeer filled her hair line with vermilion without touching her while some vermilion falls on her nose.

Chandni looks at Abeer with her doe eye's, feeling some vermilion falling on her nose and little scrunched her nose.

They broke their eye contact when both of them heard Aditi, ahana and Adi's voice also knock on the door.

Chandni di , chandni......, they heard them calling chandni name also while knocking on her room door.

What business do my siblings have with you this early in the morning?............, Abeer said in little frustration while looking at her who's just looking at the door this time.

you ....you go from here......., chandni said first looking at the door and then at him.

But how will I go ?.......my siblings are at the door ......., abeer said, puts the vermilion box on the vanity and goes back towards the bed and sat comfortably on the edge of bed.

go back ........the way you came ......, chandni said and looked back at herself in the mirror and cleaned the vermilion that had fallen on her nose with her dupatta.

Then she covers her hair line with her hair as usual so that no one she vermillion on her forehead while abeer Just kept looking at her silently.

Chandni dii ......., and again they both heard Abeer's voice.

As soon as she heard Adi's voice she goes towards him and stands in front of him.

Please go from here........., she said while tugging her hair strands behind her ear then look at him with pleading eye's.

Abeer sighed looking at her , he gets up from the bed, takes his laptop from the table and leaves her room from the balcony door and went back to his room.

As soon as Abeer goes out from the balcony door, she went towards that door and locks it from inside and then went to open the door.

Di, why do you open the door so late these days? ..........., adi asked chandni  as she opens the door.

She must be in bathroom......bhudhu...., ahana said lightly hitting on his back of his head while chandni hummed in response.

why did you guys come here ?.........., chandni asked looking three of them.

I just came along with them........., adi said pointing towards aditi and ahana.

I and Ahana had come to inform that after breakfast, we will go shopping to buy a gift for bhai as his birthday is in almost in 2 weeks ............., aditi said while ahana nodded.

What will I do there? ............, chandni said looking at his three siblings.

You can help us to choose a gift for bhai........, ahana said and other to nodded.

Waise bhi ..... We don't understand what to get for bhai, he has everything like outfits, watches, perfumes literally he has everything ........., Aditi said.

Dii come with us, we will be helped ........., adi said and again the trio requested at her and at last she gets ready to go with them.

Then let's go downstairs for breakfast........, aditi said.

You all go, I will come in 10 minutes.........., chandni said and all three of them nodded and left her room.

After braiding her hair and checking herself in the mirror one last time, Chandni went downstairs.

Chandni reached the downstairs and started walking towards the dining room from the corridor when she stopped in her tracks when she saw someone.

Chandni, who sees that gynecologist sitting on the couch with Abeer's mother in the living room, she gets scared and both her palms become drenched with sweat.

Doctor?......Why did she come here?.........., chandni thought looking at that gynecologist from the distance.

At the same Chandni noticed abeer who's currently coming down from the stairs with his one hand in his pant pocket while using the phone with the other hand and is moving towards the living room.

Chandni immediately looked around and when did not find anyone else there, she runs towards there to stop him from going towards living room.

Chandni stands in front of him while abeer looks at her with surprise seeing her coming running like this.

Mr...... Rathore.....wo .....that doctor.....i mean that......gynecologist....,  Chandni said looking at him while taking a deep breaths.

We haven't done anything yet.........RED....., abeer said with smirk on his face while chandni looked at him in disbelief and shock.

"Sirf itna pyar kar jitna tu seh sake,

Bicharna bhi pade to jinda reh sake"
