While discussing business a waitress came and served alcoholic beverages. Looking at the served drinks Abhimaan gave a side glance to Meera who had her nose scrunched up .

"Can I have a glass of berry burlesque?" Abhimaan ordered

"Sure sir" politely replying, the waitress left to bring the desired order

Meera in her mind was contemplating whether Abhimaan will drink or not.........she was having a neutral expression but deep inside didn't want Abhimaan to drink.

Where as Abhimaan wanted Meera to stop him from drinking. He loved the way she would ask him to give up. He again and again was desperate to experience how his heart will instantly surrender to her demands.

With the finalisation of the deal, everybody started taking sips of expensive branded alcohol after clinking their glasses. Abhimaan turned towards Meera and both of their eyes met.

For Abhimaan it is always her eyes that speak anything which her mouth couldn't utter. This time too there was a denial in her eyes. She was in a dilemma whether Abhimaan will comply to her words or will do what he feels like doing.

And Abhimaan did both. He did what he felt like doing i.e to fulfill her unspoken demand of not drinking alcohol.

Abhimaan intently looked at her brown eyes as if he can see her soul. His lips twitched into a smirk and he sexily took a sip from his glass to maintain the decorum infront of his partners.

Meera could no longer hold Abhimaan's gaze and looked away biting her lips. Her subconscious did a little dance, being happy that Abhimaan kept her wish. While her stomach twist in a foreign emotion looking at the way he sipped his drink .

Meera's attention diverted with the entry of a gorgeous lady. She was looking confident and glamorous, wearing a shimmering short purple dress.

"Meet my cousin Natasha" Abhimaan's business partner introduced his cousin to Meera and Abhimaan.

Abhimaan could notice that Meera was curiously analysing Natasha and inorder to rile up Meera, Abhimaan started getting involved in a conversation with Natasha.

He was talking with Natasha but his eyes and mind were set on a jealous Meera. "Can we dance Abhimaan?" Natasha seductively asked.

"Sure why not......who would like to miss a chance to dance with such a pretty lady" Abhimaan replied

Both Natasha and Abhimaan left hand in hand to the dance floor. Meera stood near the large floor to ceiling transparent glass wall. Without blinking her eyes she was constantly watching their moves.

She could see Abhimaan enjoying, Natasha's clinginess . Natasha was basically grinding herself being extremely close to Abhimaan. Few minutes passed but Abhimaan didn't return back to the VVIP section and was still dancing with Natasha.

Meera could tolerate no more and furiously walked towards Abhimaan. Patting his back, Meera said gritting her teeth "it's already late, we should leave. Am waiting in the parking". Without waiting for any reply Meera left.

When Abhimaan was about to follow Meera, Natasha held Abhimaan's suit and batting her eyelashes said "usse jane do....... night is still young, we can have fun Abhimaan"

(Let her leave......... night is still young, we can have fun Abhimaan)

Jerking her hands Abhimaan in his usual arrogance said "It's Mr.Rathore for you and yes the night is still young, for me and my wife to have fun lots of fun"

While riding back to the penthouse Abhimaan from his peripheral vision could see Meera huffing again and again. She was continuously rolling her nuptial chain around her pointed finger while looking repeatedly at Abhimaan.

Clearing his throat Abhimaan teasingly asked "Natasha was looking beautiful. Wasn't she?"

Meera not wanting to reply only nodded with a hmm.

"She is bold, beautiful, modern, sexy........uhh umm I mean stylish" Abhimaan said stressing the word sexy, making sure that Meera hear it correctly but showed as if he is trying to replace it with stylish

Meera muttered giving a pointed look to Abhimaan "you said sexy"

"Isn't she?" Abhimaan asked

"Pata nhi, meine itna notice nhi kiya" Meera said pursing her lips.

(Don't know, i didn't notice her much)

"Did you notice the way she was grooving?"

"Such kind of girls......" Meera was about to say something but got halted by Abhimaan's words

"Are my preferences. I mean I like such kind of girls" saying so Abhimaan looked outside the window. His one hand controlling the steering wheel while another covering his smile laced face.

MEERA'S POV

Upon reaching the penthouse both had a quick silent dinner avoiding each other's gaze and Meera literally ran inside the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror.

'Perhaps isiliye aaj tak inhone koi compliment nhi dia mujhe. Mein kahan saree mein aur inki preferences short bold dresses mein.

Mein inhe sundar nhi lagti aur wo nakchadi Natasha beautiful, smart, modern, stylish, sexy kya kya nhi lag jati inhe.

Kitne chipak ke dono dance kar rahe thay aur Maan he was surely enjoying......

Kya agar mein bhi Natasha jaise get up mein aungi inke saman, toh Maan will compliment me?'

(Perhaps because of this he didn't compliment me till today. I would be wearing sarees always while he has his preferences in short bold dresses.

I don't look even beautiful in his eyes and that scarecrow Natasha is beautiful, smart, modern, stylish, sexy and what not.

Both were sticking like leeches to each other and Maan he was surely enjoying the closeness.........

If i will dress up in a similar manner than will Maan compliment me ?)

Not thinking much Meera got changed into her comfortable night wears and left for bed, finding Abhimaan already asleep.

Meera moved near Abhimaan and without disturbing his sleep she got herself adjusted in between his body and left arm. Meera pecked Abhimaan's left chest, not noticing a smiling Abhimaan and fell into a sweet slumber.

NEXT MORNING

"Good morning" Meera wished Abhimaan who was engrossed in his files.

"Morning" Abhimaan replied without removing his glance from the file.

Meera shrugged and moved out of the bed to begin her daily routine. After freshing up she ordered breakfast for both. Abhimaan was still drowned in his work.

"Maan chaliye breakfast kar lijiye, baad mein apne first love se romance kariyega" Meera giggled and said

(Maan, come and have your breakfast first, they you can resume your romance with your first love)

"First love?....Romance?.... Kya bol rahi ho?" Abhimaan asked being confused

(First love?......... Romance?.......what are you even saying?)

"Sab kehte hai ki, work is your first love.....aap dono ek dusre se, zyada time ke liye dur nhi reh pate aur jitna bhi time spend kare apko kam hi lagta hai" Meera amusingly said

(Everyone has same opinion that work is your first love and you two can't remain away from each, moreover no matter how much time you spend with your first love you always feel it's less and you should have spent or spend more time with each other)

"Aviral ne kaha yeh?" Abhimaan asked while Meera nodded controlling her laughter

(Aviral said this?)

Abhimaan with a sly smile said "baad mein nhi abhi.........mein jaldi isiliye kaam khatam kar raha hu kyu ki Natasha ke sath mujhe lunch pe jana hai"

(I will have my breakfast afterwards, i need to complete my work first as i have a lunch date i mean lunch meeting with Natasha)

Meera's smile faded away along with her appetite. Looking at which Abhimaan asked "kya hua?...... eat or you want to order something else?"

(What happened? ........ Eat or you want to order something else?)

"Nhi woh tabiyat thodi theek nhi lag rahi I will prefer a light breakfast" Meera said biting her inner lips

( No actually am not feeling well lately so I guess i will go with a light breakfast)

"Would you like to join us? But I think it would be better if you rest" Abhimaan pretended like he don't want Meera to join them

"Yeah actually you are correct........you carry on and my apologies for not joining" Meera said

"Ah! That's fine...... Natasha is a sweetheart I don't think she would mind" Abhimaan said stressing the word sweetheart

Meera closed her eyes tightly, wanting to calm her inner turmoil. She wanted to bang Abhimaan's head for calling Natasha a sweetheart but never cared to compliment her for anything.

While Abhimaan was enjoying the effects of his words on Meera. He was awestruck with, how her eyes were throwing fire balls yet her words were sweet and soothing.

After breakfast Abhimaan got a call from his PA Ved, who reminded him about his preponed meeting with Mr.Malhotra. But Meera assumed that the call was made by Natasha. Moreover Abhimaan pretend that he is getting ready to impress Natasha increasing Meera's temper.

After Abhimaan left Meera contemplated for a few minutes and reaching upon a conclusion, she too got dressed and left the penthouse.
