Everyone retired to their

rooms after having light snacks as noone was in a mood to have dinner.

Abhimanyu was sitting on the couch in his room arranging some files.

Shivani came with a tray and sat beside him diverting his attention all to herself.

"Coffee?", she asked and he nodded his head smiling.

She lifted a cup and handed it to....

He looked at the cup and smiled watching a smiley made with chocolate powder on it☺️.

"Hmmm ab isse peene ka mann nahi karega mera...", he sighed keeping the files aside.

Shivani chuckled and went towards balcony taking her cup followed by him.

"Tumhe pata hai Abhi hum bahut baar sochte hai ki agar humare pass ye hota toh kitna acha hota woh hota toh hum ye kar sakte.....

Hazaaron sapne aakhon mai liye har roz ek umeed ke saath nayi shuruwaat karte hai✨!!!

Kuch logo ko sab kuch mil jaata hai kuch ko kam par aisa nahi hota ki kisi ko kuch na mile.....

Bhagwaan kisi ko kuch dete hai kisi ko kuch!!!

Maine itna chaaha tha ki meri puri family humesha ek saath khushi se rahe par shayad kismat ko wo manzoor na tha", she smiled sadly looking at the moon.

"Pehle toh bahut kosa khud ko bhi aur bhagwaan ko bhi ki ek cheez mangi thi aapse wo bhi jyada hai Kya dene ke liye par kya fayda Jo hua wo badla toh nahi jaa sakta na....

Time is the greatest teacher....

Ye baat bhi time ke saath hi realize hui.

Kehte hai umeed lagana galat nahi hai, galat hai usse poore hone ki khwaish rakhna....

Agar bhagwaan chaahe na toh wo umeed jarur poori hoti hai isliye sab unn par hi chhod do💖!!!", She smiled closing her eyes.

Abhimanyu was listening her patiently and kept staring her as she share her thoughts.

"Family ka pyaar mila par ek time tak.....

Uske baad bhi main akeli nahi thi, Tanu aur uski family ne bahut kuch kiya hai mere liye aur ab Tumne!!

Mujhe khushiyan mili ek jagah se nahi toh dusri jagah se dusre roop mai.....

Hume ehsaas nahi hota ki khushiyan hume milti rehti hai bhale hi choti choti ho ya kisi dusri wajah se par bhagwaan kabhi bhi humari khushiyan Puri tarah se nahi cheente....

Shaadi ke baad mujhe wo pyaar mila jiske liye maine har roz prarthana kari", she smiled as a tear dropped off her eyes.

Abhimanyu stepped towards her and wiped the tear from her cheeks.

"Tum puchuge nahi main ye sab kyun bol rahi hun....", she smiled.

Abhimanyu shook his head,

"Maine tumse promise kiya tha tumhari har baat tumhara har dard tumhari har khushi bina kisi sawaal ke sunuga......

Aur ye sirf uss promise ke liye nahi hai, I know tum bahut kam logo se baatein share karti ho and trust me I am on the ninth cloud ki tumne mujhe uss layak samjha", he smiled.

"Tum pehle hoge jisse main ye baatein kar rahi hun ya kehne wali hun Abhi", she gave a small smile.

"Main sun raha hun Shivi....", he caressed her knuckles making her smile.

"Tum pyaar karte ho na mujhse...", she asked staring into his eyes.

"Bahut...", he whispered with passion mixing up with love.

"Kabhi aisa laga ki pyaar ke bina bhi zindagi hai?", she smiled.

"Huh😦?", his expressions changed suddenly.

She giggled softly,

"Pyaar ke bina bhi zindagi hoti hai Abhi....

Par agar aapko pyaar ho jaaye na toh uss zindagi ko matlab mil jaata hai!! Bina pyaar ke lagta hai ki

Phool toh hai par khushboo nahi....

Sagar toh hai par uski lehre nahi....

Chaand toh hai par uski Roshni nahi......

Dil toh hai par dhadkan nahi....❤️", she looked at him with misty eyes.

"And you know what tum iss Dil ki....", She pointed her heart.

"Wahi dhadkan banke aaye ho.....", She smiled through her tears.

His heart stopped beating and looked at her breathing heavily.

She took cup from his hands and put both the cups on the table.

Coming back to him she held his hand between hers.

"Haan Abhi!! You are the one jisne iss Dil ko dhadkane ki wajah di.....

I know tumhe ye sab bahut filmy lag raha hoga but.....", she sighed chuckling making his heart beat faster and faster.

"With all my senses and heart lost to you....

I say that I love you Abhimanyu.....❤️", She smiled closing her eyes from which tears kept falling.

"I really do Abhi....! I love you", she opened her eyes and find his eyes mirroring the same love she carries for him.

He breathed heavily and diverted his gaze closing his eyes....

Shivani smiled with her hands in his waiting for him to react.

He pressed his lips and pulled her in an immediate tight hug.

He sobbed in her arms making her top wet with tears.

"Abhi....shhhh", Shivani rubbed his back consoling him.

"Y.....you do.....don't know w...wh...what happi.... happiness you have.. gi...given me baby", He managed to speak between his sobs.

"Bas shhhh....", she cooed him like a baby.

They stayed in each other's arms feeling like heaven embraced them....

Abhimanyu's happiness had no bounds and his eyes kept flowing by the overwhelmed feeling in his heart.

He snuggled more into her arms tightening his grip on her waist.

"You okay?", she asked rubbing his back.

Abhimanyu backed off from the hug and wiped his tears nodding.

Shivani chuckled wiping off her tears too making him blush a little.

She pressed her lips and pulled his cheeks.

"Aaaaaoooo......", he rubbed his cheeks glaring her making her giggle more.

"Bada maza aata hai na tumhe aise karke....", He asked biting his lips.

She nodded controlling her laugh......

Abhimanyu pulled her by her arm too much close for her.

His one hand gripping her waist protectively and the other intertwined with her hand.

Shivani's smile disappeared in thin air and her heart was pounding faster against her chest.

Abhimanyu kissed her cheek softly fanning his breath on her neck.

She shivered at his soft touch and closed her eyes tightly feeling his lips on her other cheek too.

"Change your ways now sweetheart....

Instead of pulling my cheeks try this at times. Much better than that", he whispered huskily smiling at her.

Shivani's breath went irregular and her chest heaved up and down matching her racing heartbeats.

Her face turned a bright shade of red and she pushed him trying to escape.

"No not today Mrs. Malhotra....", he catched her before she could slip away.

"Aaj toh jee bhar ke dekh lene do tumhe....🥰", he said looking deep into her eyes.

Her body never felt this comfort and solace before as it feels to be in his arms.....

She knows that she can hide in those arms from the whole world.....

He made her feel protected....

He made her feel beautiful.....

He made her realize that even her flaws are her beauty.....

And above all he made her feel loved.....

The love she yearned for years, the pampering she wanted and the respect she needed.

He gave her all including his heart.....

She sighed deeply feeling goosebumps what he made her feel when his eyes do the talking.....

She smiled and tip-toped on her toes reaching a level to his face and planted a lingering kiss on his cheek.

Abhimanyu held his breath closing his eyes in bliss.....

His dancing heart fainted at her touch and the blood seemed rushing to his poor heart helping it to beat again....

His eyes opened when felt the loss of her touch on his skin.

Shivani was standing there gazing the floor too interestingly and her face was covered with her hairs making Abhimanyu unable to see her..

He held her chin and lifted her face staring into her eyes opening a butterfly nursery in her stomach.

"Trust me I am so dead after this.....❤️", He chuckled rubbing his heart to calm it down.

The redness on her face grew darker and she hid her face behind her palms.

Abhimanyu laughed at her shy response and tilted his head to admire her antics.

"Haaye re.....", he smiled making her blush more behind the palms too.

She slowly lower down her hands and pressed her lips looking here and there.

"Yahi rehna hai ab?", She said in a slow voice.

"I have no problem at all until and unless you are with me...", he winked getting a glare.

"Bas ab bahut hua.....

No more teasing", she said with a serious expression.

"Bahut kaha hua sweetheart!!

Abhi toh shuru hoga na....

Bahut tadpa liya tumne mujhe ab satane ki baari toh meri hai", he smirked stretching his arms.

"As if tum ab tak bade sharif the....🙄", she rolled her going back to the room.

"Sharafat aur pyaar ,paani aur aag ki tarah hote hai Senorita.....

Kabhi bhi ek saath nahi aate", he followed her.

She giggled at his dramatic behavior and threw a pillow on his face.

"Jaao phir wahi jaakar so jao...", she grinned.

He watched her in horror and jumped on bed immediately covering himself with duvet.

"Never!!! Mera bed hai Mera kamra hai.... Aur meri biwi hai", he uttered last sentence as whisper so that she couldn't hear it.

"Niceeeee!!!! Tumhe blackmail karne ke bahut tarike mil rahe hai.....😏", she smirked.

"Matlab!?"

"Matlab ye ki agar tumne meri baat nahi maani toh tumhe room se bahar Sona padega AKELE...", she exclaimed shrugging her shoulders.

He held her hand and made her sit beside,

"Main toh tumhari har baat maannta hun na baby.... Aisa atyachaar mat karna", he pouted.

She chuckled and pulled his cheeks,

"Haan haan patidev!! Ab aisi rotlu shakal mat banao aur chuk chap ache bache ki tarah so jao....."

"Tumhe bola na gaal mat kheecha karo!!!!", he rolled his eyes.

"Main toh kheechungi...", she grinned.

He pulled her on his chest and lied down covering himself with duvet.

He kissed her forehead,

"Toh aag dono side se barabar ki hogi madam...."

She smiled against his chest and muttered,

"Good night Abhi"

"Best night Shivi...☺️", He smiled pulling her closer.
