Priya and Shweta had a hearty time laughing at their brother's plight. And finally after making a lot of fuss and irritating him, the two decided to leave the duo alone for sometime.

Immediately, Prabhas jumped from the bed and locked the door before anyone could interrupt.

Anushka felt shivers all over as he neared her again. He gently held her palms in his and looked deeply into her eyes.

He kissed her palm and fidgeted closer to her. He gently held her left cheek and placed a soft pick on her right cheek.

She tightly gripped the bedsheet in her hand and stiffened her fingers.

She felt his breath on her lips and her hair stood in the end as she was awaiting one of the most blissful moments of life. But then, he stopped.

Anushka opened her eyes and saw him with a little confusion.

"Um... I don't know..how to kiss... So... Please ...adjust...." He stammered sheepishly.

Anushka was taken aback for a moment. "But haven't you kissed many heroines in your movies..??" She asked before she could stop herself.

He gave a wierd expression for a moment. But then, he started giggling, which converted to chuckles and finally he was laughing like crazy.

Anushka was dumb. Was it something she shouldn't have asked?

"That was all trick shots!!" He said in between his laughter.

"Trick shot?" She asked.

"Hmmm..." He said, holding her palms again. "I have a resolution in life... I will kiss no one except my wife..." Saying so, he winked.

"Then you won't be kissing me now.." She said, taking back her hands.

"Why so?"

"Because.... I'm not your wife yet!" She ran away before he caught her.

A few days later,

Anushka was revising for her final exams when her phone beeped. She sighed. This man had no control, she thought.

She received the call with the same old ignorant tone.

"What's it Pabsu?" She asked, as she wanted him to know he was disturbing her.

"I'm really sorry Sweety... Last call... I won't disturb you after this...but please... I want you to here this....!" He said in an excited tone.

She nodded her head, finding him too cute at the moment. "Tell me..." She said, keeping her pen down.

"I've signed a new movie..." He began.

"What!? Then our marriage..?"

"Listen completely...are you in such a hurry? Don't worry I won't run away with anyone...." He teased.

She rolled her eyes.

"So... I've signed in for a horror flick..."

She could feel his voice getting squeakier. " I hope its not on a real incident..." She prayed in her mind for she was never in favour of horror.

"And the best part is... It's based on a real incident...!!! How cool is that!!" He said almost jumping.

Prabhas was someone who loved thrills and this was the first time he was offered a horror genre.

She bit her lips in worry. "Don't get me wrong...but do you think it is okay to...to...take up this during the marriage events... I mean... I'm..too worried..." She said in a feeble tone.

Prabhas was quite for sometime. "I'll call you later..." He said bluntly before hanging up.

Anushka massaged her temples before getting back to studies. But as she thought, her concentration was out. All she thought was about him and his unexpected, unwelcomed project.

It was midnight and she got up to make herself some tea. Everyone in the house were asleep.

As she switched the boiler, she heard her phone ring in the room.

She was quite confused on seeing Prabhas calling again, that too at such an odd hour.

"Prabhas?"

"Open the door. Quick!"

She took a moment to understand what he said. But then, she rushed and opened the main door without making any noise.

"What are you doing here??"

Prabhas came inside and locked the door again.

"I know you were worried for me.. That's why I came to give you some good company..." He winked as he made himself comfortable on the couch.

She took no time in falling into his arms and cuddled him. Playing with his shirt buttons, she closed her eyes.

"Look bangaram... This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity... I really want to take this up... I have a solution to your problem too... I'll give the dates after our marriage...will that be alright?"

She smiled. "Are you in such a desperate need of my permission?" She asked.

He ran his fingers through her hair.

She got up and faced him. "I was just worried Pabsu... You give the dates whenever you want. No objection from my side... "

"Are you sure?"

She nodded and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Are you scared of ghosts..?" He asked her a question to ruin the moment.

"Too much..." She replied.

"I don't even believe in them... In fact, all these "real life" incidents are 'Brilliantly made up stories' in reality." He said casually.

"Well... I too didn't believe in ghosts... Until one of my friend said that 'they' make us experience some events that will prove that ghosts are real..."

He laughed hard. "Non sense!"

"THUDDDD" A huge sound wrecked her nerves.

She hugged him tight and started reciting all the mantras' she knew. "Didn't I tell you..." She said, shivering.

Prabhas was taken aback for a moment but he decided to see what the sound was.

She held his sleeve and went with him, afraid to stay alone.

Prabhas rolled his eyes seeing it in front.

"Do you think the boiler can boil the tea all day long!? It has blasted... Look..."

Anushka bit her tongue and looked at him, giving a sheepish smile.
