"I love you, Abhimaan"

Her words made his heart skipped a beat. It's not like he doesn't know this, obviously, he has seen these in her eyes and in her actions.

Her eyes told him and made him believe in her and their relationship. Her beautiful eyes. But, hearing from her made him happy, and excited.

"What?" He whispered.

She looked up into his eyes, his eyes were twinkling making her soul found her peace again. She smiled.

"What...what?" She asked him, absolutely knowing what he is asking but today she

is in the mood to play with him.

"What did you just said?" He asked her. She blinked innocently faking not to understand what he was saying.

"I don't remember, What did I say...?" She said.

"Samaira, don't lie...you just said something." He pressured her. She chuckles but pressed her lips tightly.

"I'm not lying, I must have said anything not important." She shrugged off.

"How could you say is not important, " He yelled in shock.

"Samaira, I'm telling you. I'm very serious right now, just admit that you said 'I love you to me." He said to her. He was literally ordering her to say I love you to him. His action and reaction made her laugh. She burst into laughter in front of him.

"You are so funny, Abhimaan. Look at your face." She said still holding her stomach. He realized she was faking all this time. He twisted his lip and sat quietly on the bed.

She got silent seeing him quiet. She shifted near him and holds his hand. He pulled his hand back, then she holds him tightly again. He stopped but didn't look at her. She smiled seeing his cute, angry face. She couldn't control herself and pulled his cheeks making him look at her.

"You are looking so cute, Abhimaan baby..." And then she bites her lower lip when the last slipped from her mouth, and the table has turned suddenly when he looked at her mischievously.

"Really?" He said scooping her in his arms by her waist.

"Umm, yeah...you were looking cute." She said slowly averting her lashes from his intense and darkened gaze.

"Cute....seriously Samaira, that more suits on you." He said back to her.

"No, Many times you are cute to me also. I just don't say it loud." She replied to him, fidgeting with her fingers to hide her face which is turning red due to shyness.

"You take that adjective, I'm happier with the other one, baby." He said near her ear making her shiver.

"I can't tell you, how much I have missed you. He whispered. She looked up and felt the desperation in his voice, saw the immense love in his eyes for her.

" Abhimaan, " She said.

"Yes Samaira" He replied. She took a long breath, still deeply looking into his eyes. She is ready for everything, she is ready to give him the same love as he gave her.

"I love you."

"I love you, very much."

Her confession. Straight. Confident.

A smile broke on his lips. A real one that was soothing her heart also.

"I love you too, Samaira." He joined their foreheads. She closed her eyes, with a smile. Finally, both find their peace and their home in each other.

She opened her eyes and found his intense gaze towards her lips. She understood his motive. She blushed moved to him giving him positive signs. Her lips touched his, he gladly took it. He let her do the initiate today, she hesitates first but slowly she did what he wanted her to do.

She broke the kiss but didn't look up. He sensed her shyness. He cupped her cheeks with his palm.

"Thank you Samaira for giving me my life again. I promise I'll always take care that your smile will always reach your heart and your eyes will always shine like this." He promised her. She felt the determination behind his words.

"I know, " She replied to him.

He decreased the distance between them by claiming her lips again. He explored her like a hungry man, he was dying for her and missing her touch. It's been a month since he has tasted her.

"I missed you, love." He said between the kiss. She smiled hearing his new adjectives every time. He made her lay down on the bed, broke the kiss and inhaled her scent. Her hands were on his back, mentally noting not to let him hurt himself or his injured places.

"Abhimaan, get up. It's your fruits time." She reminds him. He shook his head.

"Not now, I want to sleep in your embrace." He said holding her in his arms.

"Okay, but at least.." He stopped her words by capturing her lips again, she moaned and tried to stop but he was not in the mood to listen to her. After a month, they are finally like this. Now, he can't waste a single moment.

"At least let me complete..." She said annoyingly. He laughed at her cute face.

"You have got your time till now, now I'm going to complete us very soon." He said seductively to her. Her heart fluttered on his sexy remark. She understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

She didn't reply anything, she just hides her face in his chest closing her eyes. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her. Both slept in each other's embrace with a smile.

In the evening, they bid bye to their parents on a happy note. Arunima and Gautam were relieved watching them fine and happy again. Arunima gave a long list of instructions to both of them to take care of each other and also asked them to come home soon.

Abhimaan gladly agreed and promised his mother to visit them soon with Samaira. After their leaving, Samaira made some healthy food for Abhimaan and sat near him on the couch of their hall.

He was doing some important work but stopped seeing her. He made some faces and did some tantrums but she feeds him forcefully.

"Just till noon, you were gladly doing everything and now you are not listening to me," Samaira said shaking her head.

"That was a trick to made you stuck with me. But, now I don't need a quiet and submissive husband anymore." He said. She chuckles at him.

"I also don't want that, I like my original Abhimaan." She said putting her head on his arm. He smiled.

They were randomly talking about stuff and her college and classes. Her phone buzzed to gain their attention, she looked at the caller id and her smile vanished. He noticed the change of expression. She picked up the call, she didn't go to some private place.

"Hello, " She said over the call. She heard what the caller has to say.

"Okay, Thankyou." She said and disconnected the call after 2 minutes. He didn't say anything, he was waiting for her to share it herself if she wanted to. And if this is something personal then he won't push her.

Samaira was thinking the same, but more she was concerned about how to tell him. She turned around him, he smiled towards her encouraging her to say it.

"It was the lawyer." She informed him. He got confused by it.

"I..I asked my Aunt to give me my share of the property. I wanted to get the home....but they sold it and has sent me the half of the money, must have Uncle forced her on this." She informed him of everything. Damini was always a greedy person, so Samaira thought to get the home where she has spent her childhood with her parents.

But, must have Damini felt this that's why she sold it and send her the money because she obviously knew...money was never the matter for Samaira.

"So, what's the issue now?" He asked her. He has no idea about the reason why she wanted that house.

"Maybe because of me, they sold the property...Will...will it make me a bad person??" She asked him looking at him. She was angry and hurt at that time for ruining her relationship with her husband that's why she made this decision. But, she didn't think about the consequences and her Uncle must have bad about it also.

Abhimaan holds her hand and cupped her cheek to make her look at him properly. Her eyes were sad.

"Not, at all. Samaira, It doesn't make you any less. You did correct with them and I like it." He told her. He knows how she deals with them and he was happy and proud of her every decision.

"But, ...it was not necessary. I never wanted this money....i have you, Mom Dad and my studies....I'm more than happy..." She replied to him. She is satisfied. He liked her this quality, she is never a complaining person. Not even to God or to destiny.

"Listen, baby, this is a practical world. Sometimes we need to behave harshly and more rough to some people to make them realize that we are not weak or some stupid person."

"Being nice to everyone is good but sometimes we need to be rigid also. Okay...and that never made us bad, it's just made us stronger and you are my lioness..." He kissed her nose softly, she nodded to him understanding his every world. Obviously, he knows better about this tough world.

"Abhimaan..." She said. He looked at her.

"When I met Rajat, he told me that...someone gave him money for all this, but he doesn't know the person." She said looking confused and concerned about this fact.

He stiffed before telling her.

"That's already been taken care of." He informed her, making her shocked. How and when?

"The person who gave him money was Natasha Sinha." He told her. She widens her eyes finding this information.

"Natasha, but why. and how did you know this?" She asked him.

"I have my ways to get this, and Natasha and I have some unfinished business in past and that needs to be taken care of now. Don't worry I'll take care of that." He said tugging her hair behind her ear.

She didn't ask him about what ways, she was more concerned about something else.

"Is she dangerous to us??" She asked him innocently. He chuckles.

"Of course not, in fact, I'm dangerous to her. But, I ignored her and that was my mistake. But, I'll do the rest of my work now." He replied to her.

"Let it be, we have more things to discuss than this." He said to her. She nodded to him keeping her head on his arm again. She took a long breath and left everything on her husband to deal with.

Abhimaan came out of his room, wearing his formal wear and walked downstairs. His injuries were almost healed just some pain was left, he is fully under his wife's supervision for that.

"Samaira.." He called her in the hall.

"In the kitchen," She yelled. He walked inside the kitchen. Mrs Annie was also present there and working. He nodded to her and gestures her to leave. She understood and left.

Samaira looked at him, wearing a grey coat with a white shirt and tie. His hairs were perfectly gelled and he was smelling awesome. She looked or stare at him for more than normal time. He was looking so handsome, he has got ready like this after the accident today.

Wait, Is he going to the office.?

"I'm all your property, baby. Stare at me as long as you want." He remarked at her smirking naughty.

"I'm not staring., and where are you going? We have already talked on this Abhimaan, " She replied instantly hiding her blushing face due to his earlier remark.

"I'm not going to the office, I'm going to attend some important business." He replied in his serious tone. She felt it.

"I'll be late, okay." He said coming closer to her. She nodded, she understood what work he was talking about. It must have something to do with Natasha, she didn't interrupt as she has left everything on him.

"Come before dinner, please." She said to him. He smiled at her.

"Only if you will make Rajma- Rice today," He said, how much he has loved her food and getting crazy to eat again because he was still on a healthy food diet. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

So, no diet food today. Ufff.

"Come soon, I'll wait for you." She said, he nodded and left giving her assuring smile to not worry much.

Abhimaan came out of his car and stood in front of the building. Sagar was already present there. Both were looking devilishly handsome wearing shades.

"How's it going on?" Abhimaan asked him.

"Perfectly with the plan" Sagar informed him. He nodded and both entered the building.

Time for showtime, Ms Natasha Sinha.
