"Me? You are asking me?" Suhana jumped on her chair confused.

Till date, neither willingly or unwillingly they both have shared personal preferences or experiences and his question had obviously startled her.

"Well who else resides in this room apart from me and you?" Vikram narrowed his eyes.

"Well--where would I go if I am bored..." She dragged her words while her cute little brain box was processing for a reply.

"The sun is already up!" Vikram said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Oh yeah!" Suhana exclaimed as she jumped on the small chair with a pair of gleaming eyes staring at Vikram with an answer.

"What " Vikram asked with eyes popped, confused with her sudden excited weird behaviour.

"Parks!! I would obviously be somewhere where there are a lot of trees and plants. You know--surrounded with green plants! It would be such a serene place to be when anyone is bored."

"And yeah Forest! I had always wanted to go trekking on mountains through a dense forest and have some fun with some of the pack of wolves. And yeah, wanna do everything alone and not with anyone else. Just ME-time" Vikram had to take a deep breath for her continuous rambling about forests and zoo's.

" 'ME-time' with a pack of wolves?" He repeated her phrase again, emphasizing it a bit.

"Yup. And yeah-did you have a look at the small plants in the front yard of my house. All of them were planted by me. There are also some more plants and trees planted in the backyard of this house. I will take you over there tomorrow and you can have a look at them." Suhana exclaimed with her hyper talk with her golden eyes sparkling with joy.

"Well I wasn't wrong with calling you a Chatterbox. You are indeed one" He leaned back on his chair.

"Well you asked the question" Suhana shrugged away.

"One simple question and you answer it for half an hour continuously? Only you can do it" He sneered as Suhana twitched her lips and turned away.

With lingering silence in the room for the next couple of minutes, Vikram continued.

"You look terrible with droopy eyes--why don't you go and sleep with Megha?" Vikram asked as he bent down to pick up the same magazine.

"Huh--What about you?" Suhana asked doubtfully.

"I am fine here" Vikram said in a low voice with his eyes now glued to the magazine, though it was not completely fixed there.

"Okay by me " Suhana stood up from the chair yawning.

Taking a few steps away from him, she looked back at him whose eyes were physically fixed to the crappy no-sense magazine.

Sighing away towards the door, a pair of mischievous eyes feel on the small glass filled with water till the rim, which she had poured back earlier that evening.

With the mischievous grin on her lips and eyes wavering back and forth from the glass and the human boxing bag seated majestically on the chair behind.

Not wanting to remove the idea from her head and with every nerve wanting to take revenge on him for spoiling her sleep time, Suhana hid the glass of water behind her back

Slowly walked towards him mentally watching him drown in her head with a glass of water.

"Listen--" Vikram interrupted before she could do the action.

"Huh?"

"Next time...if you are ever planning to stay out or something, don't inform that little brat, Rohit.

Just...Leave me a Message" He said remotely and moved his gaze back to the magazine.

With not understanding a word of what he was just saying or what he meant, Suhana stood there in the same position as her lips parted away with confusion.

"What? Got it?

Cause I can't go around searching for you in the woods amongst wolf packs" He continued with a smirk with his eyes stilled fixed away from her.

"Yeah you won't have to" A small smile played along her lips, "Good night" Suhana continued as she traced her steps back, placing the glass back on the table as she left the room with an adorable smile.

Somewhere she couldn't resist his Narcissistic charm along with his pinch of sarcasm which was more charming to her than annoying.

Stirring from right to left on the bed, Suhana rubbed her eyes sluggishly aside as the sun rays fell on her delicate milky skin.

She woke from the bed indolently, while rubbing her eyes with her fingers and as she opened her eyes, "Ahh" She screamed out of nowhere startled on seeing a pair of eyes staring at her with hands crossed standing opposite to her.

"You scared me idiot " Suhana yelled as she threw a pillow at Megha who was busy throwing darts at Suhana with her eyes.

"First tell me why are you sleeping in my room" Megha raised her eyebrows at her.

"Why? I can't sleep in your room now?" Suhana asked innocently.

"Enough of dodging questions. Now answer me" Megha interrupted clearly waiting for an answer.

"Well as you know, my bed isn't as huge as yours....and moreover my so-called-husband poured water on my bed ,ensuring that we both don't sleep on the bed.

So I had no other choice...and so I came here" Suhana grinned as she completed the sentence.

"He did what??" Megha screamed as she continued," That guy poured water on your bed?? What did you do after that??" She asked eagerly.

"What did we do? Nothing. We then talked for a while and yeah after that I was feeling sleepy, so came here as he said he wasn't going to sleep."

"Seriously Suhana? Are you for real? That guy literally poured water on YOUR bed!! And you freaking had a lovey dovey conversation with him after that?"

"What no, we were just--"

"Idiot you should have atleast poured some hot water on his face or thrown a huge tombstone on his head. We could have buried him in our backyard." Megha said furiously.

"Megha! What's wrong with you? Why are you talking like this?

"What's wrong with you Suhana? Why are you even tolerating all his nonsense? You know what, Now you know that me and Rohit aren't in good terms and neither will we ever be again. So there won't be a need for you to tolerate his nonsense and his alter ego--"

"Megha!! Stop, What is even wrong with you. This isn't You!!" Suhana narrowed her eyes as she left the room not expecting an answer in return.

Suhana had never witnessed Megha talk something like this with such a negative aspect.

But everything was blurred from Megha's perspective too. She never wanted her sister to suffer for the life decision she took selfishly.

And the fact that Megha couldn't witness what was happening in Malhotra's Mansion, was burdening her leaving her to assume on her own. But all she ever wanted was for her sister to lead a happy, good life.

Being pissed early in the morning, Suhana sighed as she barged into her room as her eyes fell on the huge black sexy bean bag, searching for something around her bed.

"Detective much?" Vikram turned back as he saw Suhana standing near the door with her hands crossed against her chest with a super-annoyed look on her face.

"Just searching for something"

"Yeah, I can see that. What are you searching for?" Her facial nerves relaxed as she moved towards him as he was flipping the magazines away and looking below them.

"I don't know where I dropped my phone." He mumbled under his breath as he moved towards the bed now hoping to find it.

"Well, I didn't take it. So must be somewhere here" Suhana said in a low tone, as she moved towards the chair and the table where they were seated last night to check if it was there.

"I am getting late for a damn meeting and this dammit phone.." Vikram grit his teeth.

"Get another phone. Simple" Suhana mocked as he continued to check out for his phone, ignoring her.

"If it's getting too late...you can leave now and send someone later, I will make sure I find it before he arrives." Suhana shrugged.

Gazing at her for a minute, "No thanks, let me find it by my own" He concluded as he moved back to resume his searching process.

"Yeah of course. How can a self-narcissistic, egoistic conceited person ever agree to get help from someone else" Suhana made an annoyed face as she sat back on her bed.

"I have some really important contacts and documents in my phone Little Chatterbox, so I don't have time for your wolf talks right now and I need it for today's meeting. So you better help me search for it rather than wasting my time"

"That's not how you ask for help Mr.Narcissist " Suhana leaned back majestically self-satisfied.

"Moreover, remember that creepy agreement book you gave me? It says, you're problem is yours and my problem is mine. So..." Suhana leaned back comfortably.

"Seriously?" Vikram bit his lip, controlling himself from not doing anything impulsive as he continued with his search.

"Wait why do you need this phone so badly?" Suhana put forth a question as he decided to ignore her question and moved ahead.

"Wait I know the answer, let me tell you. Because you have important girl's contacts in there and some really important videos in your gallery which interest you and you badly need them to shoot new videos today." She was pissed to an extreme level that she has no idea the weight of the words she used.

"What?" Vikram stated, "If you are up for some drama shit then I have no time for it" He rolled his eyes as he moved back to his work.

"Haha yeah, says the one who secretly shot a video of me up in the lift while I was dying. So shooting videos is your new hobby?" Suhana continued not wanting to stop.

"What rubbish?!"

"The rubbish in your phone" Suhana continued, "What? My phone?" He shook his head confused.

"Well I broke your phone technically, so..." Suhana slowed down.

"You really should try to control your mouth from talking utter nonsense and save your gibberish for someone else" Vikram said with a straight face.

"I am not gibbering Vikram. I am just telling the truth based on what I know about you. If not, tell me you didn't take a video in the lift when we are stuck and on how badly you lied to me that you kicked the roof when you CPR-ed/ kissed me and saved me or how else should I say that?" Suhana pretended to think, mocking him.

"Wait..." Vikram paused, "Have you been dreaming about me lately?" His eyes grew wide glaring at her, questioningly.
