Samaira and Hitesh were just lazily watching FRIENDS. Ross was getting married to Emily but he by mistake took Rachael's name. It showed how much he still loved her. ( a reference from Friends show )

Hitesh automatically looked at Samaira. His gaze holding the same love Ross had for Rachael. He knew that if he'll ever get marry to anyone then he might also do same mistake.

The episode was over so Hitesh got up to leave. "Hitesh I want to do some job. I get bored by watching TV all day."

"You didn't completed your degree Samaira. Getting a job will be difficult for you."

"I don't need any high profile job. I am ready to do anything. I don't want to be a burden on you anymore. You alre..." Her words were cut short by him.

"Samaira, you can never be a burden in me." He said looking directly at her face trying to convey his love with his eyes.

"Still I want to work." She insisted and he promised her to find a suitable job for her.

Soon she got a job in a nearby school as a Science teacher. She busied herself in school. Giving her best to make kids understand the complicated concepts of chemistry.

She usually got tired with the job but never complained infact she enjoyed it. After so many years she was getting back her smile and laughs. She felt like herself.

Hitesh use to cook dinner for her everyday even though he hated cooking but it was for her and he could do anything for her.

Days passed. Samaira was back at her old self. Hitesh's love for her grew each day. She knew it and now for some reason she felt herself being pulled towards him.

She didn't wanted to get into any relationship with anyone. She trusted him but she couldn't give him what every man desires. She was tainted and Hitesh deserved someone pure who doesn't has so much past baggage.

Hitesh was trying to distract himself in work. He had confessed his feelings for her to Reyansh as well. Reyansh looked hurt. He did cared about his opinion though.

It was 7pm when Hitesh entered the home expecting to see her watching TV. She was there. She looked deep in thoughts while her gaze was fixed in TV.

"What are you thinking?" He asked plopping on the sofa. She didn't registered his words. He snapped his fingers infront of her face and that got her looking at him.

"What happened?" Now he sounded concerned.

"Nothing I was just watching TV." She said still lost.

"You are watching a singing show on mute." He stated.

"They sing very bad."

"That's lame. Try making another excuse."

"I don't like their voice."

"What were you thinking? Is it about school? Did someone said someone?" He sounded serious.

"Today was PTA in school. Many parents came with their kids. Some left happily. Some left regretting their decision to even send their kid to school. Some were upset. Some looked motivated to help their kids in getting better in future." She said thoughtfully.

"So?"

"I got reminded of my parents. I want to see them." She said now totally focusing on him.

"Samaira, I think you should not meet them. They are not bothered about you. They never searched for you." He told her.

"Are they happy." She said with hope.

"No, they are not. Your brother lost his job so your father sold his house to start a business. That was a failure. They lost everything then he married a rich girl. Now he is working in his brother in law's company."

He explained her while she was still contemplating about meeting them.

"Can you help my brother with a better job?" She asked looking at him hopefully.

"I can Samaira. But I won't you shouldn't care about them as they did." He said trying to convince her that it's fine to do not care about others when they didn't even if they are our parents.

She got convinced by him and then they stayed there enjoying each other's company. Samaira ordered biryani for both of them.

It was all usual untill Hitesh slept on the sofa in an uncomfortable position. It was quite early for him to sleep. She tried to help him get up but was stopped by his voice.

"I Love You Samaira, please never leave me. You see all these things I decorated this place for you only. Princess please give me just one chance." He mumbled in his sleepy state referring to something in his dream.

"Hitesh..Hitesh get up." She tried waking him up but he didn't budged at all. He kept mumbling about his love for her.

"Samaira you know I can't live without you. I would die. I know you had a dark past but I promise I'll make your future so bright that you'll never regret."

"Just give me one chance princess. I want to be your knight in shining armor. I'll fulfill your every dream. I'll get you contracts to write song lyrics as you want." He kept mumbling.

She didn't knew what to do now. She got up and went to her room to sleep?

She lied down on her bed and kept thinking about whatever he said. If he was talking in sleep then it was true. Samaira knew she can't live her whole life alone.

It took her time to get adjust to public. Still she wasn't confident enough to live her whole life alone.

She once lived alone and that was the reason she had to face so much. She needed someone to rely on. It was her dream to have someone with whom she could be share everything.

With Hitesh she never had to share anything as he could sense it just by her voice. He knew everything about her yet never criticized her.

He was a noble man. If he wanted he could've also used her given they live alone. He'll he didn't even did anything even when he paid for her.

Maybe it won't be that much of a bad choice if I gives him a chance. She thought and with that she made her mind to give him one chance. She hoped silently that he won't blew it up.

He entered her room while she was sleeping, arranged her quilt, stayed in her room looking at her sleeping peacefully and then left.
