Meera came inside their dim lighted bedroom. She saw Abhimaan was in his casuals, sitting on his recliner.

Meera didn't say anything. She went downstairs to bring dinner for him. She has especially cooked biryani for him.

Meera went near Abhimaan. Keeping his dinner on the tea table she said "Maan apka dinner......baki sab ne khaa liya.....aaj der ho gyi ghar aate aate"

(Maan your dinner ........ everyone else has eaten already...... today you came late, is there a lot of work pressure?)

Abhimaan only glanced at Meera but didn't speak anything.

"Kya hua hai Maan? Subhe se aap ese behave kyu kar rahe hain? Meine kuch kiya hai kya? Koi galti hui hai mujhse?"

(What's wrong Maan? Why are you grumpy since morning? Did i do something which i should have? Did i commit any mistake?)

"Mein ghar pe na rahu ya ghar der se aau is good, isn't it?..........isse tum bahar ghumne jaa sakti ho, chess khel sakti ho, maze kar sakti ho........ hai na?" Abhimaan asked hinting anger towards Meera

(Why isn't it better if am not home or if return back late from office?......so that you can roam around on the streets, can play chess, can enjoy your moments.... right?)

"Ji woh mein......." Meera's words came to an halt when Abhimaan being angry threw the empty dinner plate on floor.

(No it's not like that.......)

"What explanation you want to give for your acts? Mujhe ake 1ghanta ho gya, where were you, haan? Abhi yaad aya mein tumhe?" Abhimaan was shooting fire balls at Meera, who was silent in return

(..............it's been one hour since I returned where you you till now? Did you just now remember that i as you husband exists?)

"Chup kyu ho abhi? Tab toh bohot hasi nikal rahi thi........ You enjoy Rajveer's company, isn't it?" Abhimaan clenching his fist, shouted while Meera only looked at him.

(Why are you so silent now? Few minutes ago you were laughing in ecstasy.......you enjoy Rajveer's company, isn't it?)

"Never smiled with me but was laughing with him........ bloody sap" Abhimaan muttered furiously

Meera with her slow steps went near Abhimaan. Both were looking at each other's eyes. One with accusing gaze another with assuring glance.

Meera engulfed Abhimaan into a warm hug. Abhimaan tried freeing himself but stopped when Meera spoke silently "ssshh baas 5 minutes"

(Sssshh just 5 minutes please)

As if Meera knew it requires only a hug and 5minutes for her to calm Abhimaan's mind.

Meera made Abhimaan sit on his recliner. she herself got adjusted in his lap.

"Issssh itna gussa......suits you hubby" Meera teased him

(Isssh so much of anger......suits you hubby)

while nuzzling his neck she murmured softly "Maan, aap ka phone kahan hai?"

(Maan, where is your phone?)

"Pata nhi. And stop trying to distract me"

(I don't know. And stop trying to distract me)

Meera giggled and fetched Abhimaan's phone. Readjusting herself , she opened his whatsapp chat.

"See, I had texted you. Informing you about my sudden shopping plan. But it was you who hasn't seen it yet" she spoke

Meera turned her neck towards Abhimaan and smiled. Rubbing her nose with Abhimaan she said "Meine dekha, you were watching me playing chess from a distance........agar aap ek baar sirf 'Meera' keh kar bula lete, toh tabhi uth kar aa jati. But you watching me silently and getting jealous irked me"

(I saw, you were watching me playing chess from a distance........only if you would have called me once I would have left the match then and there only......But you watching me silently and getting jealous irked me)

Holding Abhimaan face in her palm she said "biwi hun apki haq jatana ana chahiye apko. Sirf ek baar bolte ki mera Rajveer se baat karna apko pasand toh scene mein Rajveer hota hi nhi" Meera quoted Abhimaan's dialogue rolling her tongue.

(Am your wife so you must know your rights on me. Only if for once you have said that you don't like me having any conversation with Rajveer then i would have made sure that Rajveer is not in the scene)

Abhimaan biting his lips said "audacious....hmm I see......good but remember your time will come"

"This is my time sweetu. Remember when I got jealous how you enjoyed, now it's my turn to enjoy your jealousy. I will make you more jealous" Meera challenged

"How?"

"By getting more close to Rajveer......." Meera said changing Abhimaan's demeanor

"You want Rajveer to get more closer to almighty leaving earth permanently.....if yes then carry on if no then just don't provoke me. I hate sharing" Abhimaan said menacingly

Gulping Meera said "this is wrong. When you were flirting with that chamak challo"

"Talking" Abhimaan corrected

"Ok ok talking......when you were talking with her I didn't threaten you but you are." Meera complained

"Tabhi sochna tha na..... have your own cliche and stop copying me. Copycat. Dialogues bhi mere bolne hai aur actions bhi mere repeat karne hai inhe" Abhimaan said dramatically

(Should have thought then..... have your own cliche and stop copying me. Copycat. Have to copy my dialogues and actions, can't come up with your own?)

"Whatever" Meera said scrunching her nose

Inhaling a deep breath Abhimaan held Meera's waist "you cooked biryani. Smelling great"

Meera picked the plate placing it on her lap.

"Do plate kyu layi thi?" Abhimaan asked

(Why did you bring two plates?)

"Wait kar rahi thi aapka. I hadn't have my dinner yet" Meera said

(Was waiting for you. I hadn't have my dinner yet)

"Kyu?" Abhimaan asked nibbling her ears sensually

(Why?)

"kya kyu.....aaj tak apke bina dinner kya hai meine..........Maan stop doing this" Meera whispered

(What why........till today have I ever had my dinner without you........Maan stop doing this)

"I like when you wait for me and I love how you react when I do such things" Abhimaan sexily whispered

Meera clearing her throat said "eat"

"Feed" Abhimaan responded

Raising her eyebrows Meera placed the spoon in between Abhimaan's finger and sat facing him while opening her mouth.

Abhimaan couldn't understand what's happening. Looking at his confused face Meera said "am waiting c'mon feed me. Why always you will get the royal treatment. Tonight you gonna pamper me"

Abhimaan nodding his head negatively feed himself and Meera as well.

"Am sorry" Abhimaan said making Meera choke her food

"Issssh sorry sounds so sweet from your mouth. Say it once again" Meera teased Abhimaan who in return raised his left brow giving a pointed look

"Meera, am sorry for behaving weirdly with you in the morning. I was frustrated thinking something else and it was quite wrong of me, venting everything on you, without your fault" Abhimaan apologized sincerely

"Sorry won't do. You should be punished. And your punishment is to clean the mess on the floor which is also created by you just before few minutes" Meera said casually while eating raita.

"Cool" Abhimaan agreed making Meera amused. Meera thought 'how can he agree so easily without any discussion, debate, argument'

Abhimaan gave a call to the kitchen "Ratna sa send someone to my room to clean the floor". He asked the head maid with respect, to send someone for cleaning his room.

"Yeh kya baat hui punishment apki thi na toh apko saaf karna tha" Meera argued

(This is so wrong. It is your punishment so you should clean this mess all by yourself)

"Tumne kya kaha to clean the mess na yeh thodi kaha to clean it myself" Abhimaan grinned mischievously while Meera narrowed her eyes.

(You said to clean the mess but didn't emphasize that i have to do this by myself)

"Issssh itna gussa........ doesn't suit you" Abhimaan teased Meera

(Isssh so much of anger......... doesn't suit you)

"Maan.........." Meera was about to tell something when they heard a knock at the door.

"Hukum woh mein saaf karne ayee thi" maid said bowing down

(Master, i have come to clean the floor)

Abhimaan nodded while Meera went inside the closet. After few minutes Meera came wearing her night attire.

Abhimaan was looking at Meera without blinking his eyes.

"Kya hua?" Meera asked

(What happened?)

"Are you somehow trying to tame me?" Abhimaan questioned

"Am I getting successful in taming you?" Meera asked

"Umm.......50-50, tame ho bhi raha hun aur nhi bhi ho raha hun" Abhimaan replied

(Ummm.....it's 50-50, I am getting tamed by you somewhere while I have my own version as well)

"Toh mein bhi 50-50 try kar rahi hun at the same time try kar bhi nhi rahi hun" Meera told

(Yeah because even from my side its 50-50......I am trying 50% to change you while another 50 i want you to be the same)

Both got deeply indulged in their talk until sleep engulfed them.
