Abhimaan sat on the backseat of his car, as his driver drove him back home. It was late in the night, the whole day he was busy with the clients and meeting and then party. After a lot of hard work of his team, they have managed to crack the deal, that too on the short notice of time.

To encourage the work of his employees, he announced the dinner party for the whole office. He and Sagar were happy to take their friendship to the next level by opening another industry in Italy this time. Just some paperwork has left to do, for that one of them has to fly there in the next couple of days.

Thinking about Sagar, he furrowed his eyebrows. His mind drifts to their conversation happened 2 days back.

2days before

Understanding Sagar's bad mood, he didn't pinch him again for some hours. But, Sagar himself came after some time as much as he wants to be alone for some time but he knows the importance of his time and work. He can't sit there mourning on his failed relationship.

That's what Abhimaan liked about him. He sighed looking at his dead face but he didn't say anything. They kept of discussing their works and made everything almost ready.

Sagar got up to leave but Abbimaan stopped him and called for 2 cups of coffee for them. Let's have some talk now.

"I was considering your proposal for extending Natasha contract with us for our hotel project." Abhimaan said keeping his elbows on the table.

Sagar looked at him with shocked and then frowned eyes. He closed his eyes leaning back to his chair, tirdly.

That was not like Abhimaan at lot. Both know this. He is doing this just for him, tolerating Natasha was the last thing Anhimaan wanting to do. He hates her lack of professionalism, she was fine with her work....just fine.

He was waiting for Sagar's reply when their coffee arrived. Sagar sat straight on his chair, and said clearing his throat.

"Why, you are suddenly doing this favour on me?? When you clearly despise her." Sagar asked knowing the reason very well.

"Like you don't know, Useless..." Abhimaan said rolling his eyes on him with arrogance. He drinks his coffee, he stopped immediately not liking the taste anymore. He missed her taste, he was getting used to of her coffee, food and everything.

Sagar noticed the change in his expressions.

"Just answer my question, how long do you exactly need time to see her clear intentions." Abhimaan asked him casually. He is not a child to nag him for something. He is a well-matured man, he needs to see the truth.

"I know yrr....I know everything, but I feel to give it a chance. I thought my love will eventually change her." He said with desperation in his voice. He doesn't know how long he will be able to do that.

Abhimaan chuckles at him, making his giving him deadly glares to him. He is laughing at his misery.

"You call it love...???" Abhimaan said ignoring his looks.

"Look, who is talking about love???" Sagar rolled his eyes on him.

"Are you already in love with Samaria, ??" Sagar smirked. Now, it's his turn. Abhimaan's expressions change into serious one on the mention of her name.

"We were not talking about me and my relationships. I was always clear about my life....that's why I followed my parents wish." He replied with an attitude.

"Of course, but falling in love with your wife is your choice and not your parents. Now, tell me are you in love with your wife???" Sagar asked again. He is not going to leave him now.

Abhimaan clenched his cup in his hand, thinking about to throw this hot coffee on his face to whip up his smirk. But he can't ignore his question also.

Is he seriously in love....with his wife??

"I don't know about your so-called love and all but I can say one thing now, that whatever is going between me and Samaira, is special and beautiful." Abhimaan replied thinking about her face. Her surprised blush when he came near her. Her never breaths because of his touch.

"From some days, I want to go home early to have diner with her, I like to talk to her, I want to know her more, I like it when she smiles or blushes.....it gives me happiness, and a kind of peace." Abhimaan said with a serious tone. His word made both of them shocked.

Sagar looks him like he is seeing some ghost. How can this robotic person change this much??

"Do you feel all this when you are with your So- called love??" Abhimaan asked him making faces.

And Sagar has nothing to say. No words came out of his mouth. He never felt this way. He never felt peace. It's was always about expensive gifts, her modelling projects and their sex life.

He gulped with the thought of this, what the hell he was doing??

He used to be the love master between them but today, Abhimaan's unmanaged speech did something in his mind to think.

Back to present

Abhimaan didn't realise when he reached his place. He came out and asked his driver to go. He entered the hall, it was silent and dark. He took out his blazer while going upstairs, he couldn't wait to see her.

He frowned in watching the lights were still on of her room. He checked the time, it was 1:45 Am already, he wonders why she is not sleeping yet. He opened the door and walked inside.

He found her walking in the room with a book in her hand. She was talking to herself keeping her eyes closed, nor...No, she is learning something maybe.

"You have not slept??" He asked making her jump in her position. She put her hand on her heart.

When did he come??

"You..scared me.." Samaira accused him. He regrets instantly watching a flesh of fear in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but why are you up so late?? Don't you have classes tomorrow?" He asked her again, throwing his coat on the couch lazily, like it's his room. He walked towards the nightstand to get some water. She watched his actions.

"Tomorrow is my exam, that's why I'm doing last time revision." Samaira replied. He drunk the full glass in a go, hearing her.

"Ohh!!! But still it's late and you should sleep. At what time your exam will start??" He asked coming near her, opening the buttons of sleeves and rolling it up till elbows. She looked to the visible veins and looked back to him again.

What is he doing?? Is he going to fully undress here???

"Ahh...its..9Am, .." She replied gulping her dry throat. She noticed his little messed up hairs. She was waiting for him also. He is very late today, she wanted to ask where he was.

"Okay....I think you should sleep now or you will be late tomorrow." He said cupping her left cheek with his palm, rubbing his thumb little. She shivered instantly. He smiled and took some steps back. He was tired and feeling hell sleepy right now.

"Did you have your food??" Samaira asked hurriedly. He stopped hearing her and smiled on her concern for him.

"Yes, I had. We cracked an important deal today, So we arranged a small party for the staff. I was also very hungry to wait." He replied. She amazed by his explaining to her.

"And you??" He asked in a serious tone. He didn't want her to wait for him this long. And he is going scold her, if she has not eaten.

"Yes...It was getting late....So.." She replied looking down. She feeling a little ashamed.

"Good, a doctor needs to be strict with her health." He chuckles at her innocence. He left to his room saying good night to her. She smiled watching him going. She groaned making faces watching her books again.

God!! Who made the exams???

Next 2 weeks went in the blur with her exams and studies. She was always engrossed in her studies and preparations for exams. She was very nervous the whole time, it was her first semester exams. She has no idea about the questions or way of marking. The thought of letting her parents down kept on making her more worried.

She has skipped her meals many times. She slept studying and them forget to eat. Abhimaan was hating this the whole time. He was not getting her attention,not even for a second. Whenever he wanted to spend some time with her, she was always with her books.

He groaned in frustration. He also knows her work, her studies are as important as his work. He can't complain about this. Actually He is amazed by her hard work and dedication. But not so long, today is her last exam. Then, he will make sure to get her all attention.

He got fresh and up and going to bath. He checked the time...it was 8:30Am...she must have been left till now. He walked out to get some important document, which he forget in her room yesterday. They had coffee last night in her room, he couldn't control himself more. So, he asked her to make some coffee for both of them.

He remembers her swollen eyes due to lack of sleep. He will make sure, she will have proper rest from today.

He opened the door of her room only to get shocked. She was still sleeping, while half sitting on the bed. She was holding her book in one hand and others were lying next to her.

Ohh Shit!!! She will miss her exam.

He run to her with long steps. He patted her cheeks lightly, he got shocked again feeling the hotness there. She is having a fever. That's why she didn't wake up.

"Samaira......Samaira, get up...." He shook her again. She did some movement and opened her eyes with some difficulty. He took a breath.

"Samaira, it's 8:30 already....get up fast." He said. He didn't her to worry or to scared her but he doesn't have much time for all this. She will be hell upset if something wrong happened with her studies. She is way to concerned about this.

"What.....how!??? She got up and felt pain in her head. She holds her head, Abbimaan made her stand with his support.

" you have a fever, Samaira...let me get you some medicine..." He said and turns to go but she holds his hand and watched his wristwatch. Her eyes widen in shock.

"How could I sleep for so long??? What I'm going to do now......Abhimaan.....What...will I do now???" Her eyes welled her immediately with fear. She was getting so much panic, not thinking about her health or anything. For her this medical degree means her father's dream. The only wish of her papa.

"We still have 25 minutes, your college is around 30 minutes away. Don't worry, we will manage something." He said holding her arm. God!!! She is shaking due to panic.

"First, let me get you some medicine. No, first eat something then.." Abhimaan said but she interprets him while crying.

"No....I don't...need....I need.....need...to go. Yes, I'll go fast..." She said whipping her tears. She looked around for her stuff, her hall ticket....she was mumbling in between. She was trying to hold on herself. But, she was scared.

She is going hurt herself like this. He walked to her to hold her.

"Stop......Shhhhhh......I'll take you there on time. Trust me..." He pulled her close to him. He holds her face between his palms, whipping her long tears. Her face has become red already due to crying. She nodded to him, keeping a faith on him.

He starts driving next moment they settled on their seats. He gave her an apple which he took from the dining table while coming. She looked at him in confusion and denied. He glared her, she looked down.

Her eyes welled up again with the fear in her heart.

Please God help me.

Mumma papa, please...

She came to the sudden halt when he pulls the break on the side of the rode. She looked at him to see his angry face with furious eyes. She gulped hard and fresh tears made there way on her cheeks.
