Thank you for your votes and comments on the previous chapter🤗

I know you all missed Arjun and Sona a lot in the previous chapter....Even they both missed their lovely readers❤️

So here they are to compensate for their absence in the previous chapter.

Let's get started🤘

Sonal's POV:

It is said that time flies when you are having fun....and I realized the same during these past days.

Arjun is happy that his little brother has wrapped up his studies and is back in India. But he rarely expresses his emotions in front of us. Though he won't express anything verbally I can read his emotions through his deep eyes. I believe that Arjun's eyes are the windows to his soul. His eyes express feelings...convey emotions.

Every time Aarav visited us his eyes would shine up like pearls...and when he used to leave the same eyes would become dull reflecting his unhappiness and disturbance. At times, when he was disturbed I used to keep blabbering some random things to lighten his mood. Rather I would say I used to irritate him with my stupid talks where finally he would end up with a cute smile on his face. He can't win over me😜.

In recent days,  I always wanted to  ask him  about his parents. I wanted to ask him why they were all strangers who shared the same last name but I never did that. We open up ourselves only to those whom we trust from the bottom of our hearts and whom we are close to. I don't want to force him for anything in which he is uncomfortable. I want to give him his own time and space to open up. I want him to have trust in me...I want him to develop a sense of assurance that no matter what I am always there and will be there for him...I will never hurt him.

************************************

We all were having dinner. Me Arjun sitting side by side and my two sweet brother-in-laws Aarav and Rohan sitting opposite us. Arjun is working on a new project so Rohan spends most of the time with Arjun in his study room and sometimes Aarav too joins them.

Every time Aarav and Rohan accompanied us for dinner, it would be a fun time because of their childish talks and jokes. We three are movie lovers. So we used to talk about movies. We used to convince Arjun to watch movies with us. Arjun as usual denied it as he hates drama and the illogical things that happen in movies. He prefers silent and classic movies. He would often scold his brothers for watching high-voltage action movies.

"Arjun Baba have one more roti" amma insisted for which Arjun refused politely saying that he had ample food.

"Eat some rice Arjun Baba"  picking up the rice bowl I served on his plate and both the monkeys started giggling.

"Yes Yes, Arjun baba have some rice" both of them spoke at the same time with a mischievous smile.

Arjun picked up two apples from the table and threw on them responding to their teasing.

"Thanks, Bhai" catching those apples they continued eating their food.

Aren't they cute??😘

************************************

After dinner, I was in my room lying on the bed scrolling down my phone whereas the three brothers were still discussing something in the study room.

Arjun entered the room and started searching for something. Straightening myself on the bed I asked him

"What are you searching for??"

"Ha..my Pendrive...it was on the study table but I am not getting it there"

I opened the drawer and picking up the pen drive inquired him " Is it the same one you are searching for??"

Taking the pen drive from my hand he replied " Ha...where was it??"

"It was on the side table of the bed"

Putting the pen drive in his pant pocket he said "Thank you"

"Your most welcome Arjun Baba"

"Sona..stop calling me by that name" he warned in his stern voice

"By which name Arjun Baba??" I replied to him faking innocence in my voice as well as the face.

Folding his hands up to his chest and raising his eyebrows he said "Sona"

Folding my hands in the same way as he did I responded "What Arjun Baba??"

Pointing his finger at me he yelled  " I am warning you Sona...don't call me by that name"

"But that's what your name is...Arjun Baba" shrugging off my shoulders I admitted

Again he pointed his finger at me " If you will call me by that name..I will"

Before he could finish his sentence I cut him " You will hit me "

Sliding down the hands he rested them on his waist and closed his eyes  to suppress his anger. Grabbing the opportunity immediately I picked up the pillow from the bed and threw it to his face. Rather I would say I hit his face with the pillow.

"What the hell??"

"It's not hell my dear husband.. it's a pillow" Placing  hands on my stomach I started laughing aloud.

Picking up the pillow which was lying on the floor he said " you'll have to pay for this Sona"

Slowly taking the steps backward I said "Acha... first try to catch me Arjun  Baba" and I started running away from him

Then the chasing game began...I was running and Arjun chasing me from behind...I was running here and there, behind the couch, over the bed throwing some more pillows on him.  Every corner of our room was filled with my laughter. But my poor husband was unable to get hold of me.

After the chasing game,  I stopped at a point as my breath was getting heavy due to running. The moment I stopped running he held my waist and pinned me to the wall which made me lose my balance....and  to counteract  I held his shoulder tightly.

Now we were in a very intimate position. His hold on my tiny waist and mine on his broad shoulders. Our chests were just a mere inch away, moving up and down due to running. My quivering lips remained parted.

"You can't escape from me" gazing at me with his deep orbs he whispered

I was unable to speak as my breath was still not normal...but this time it was not because of the effect of running..it was because of our cozy posture.

Shifting his gaze at my trembling lips he spoke in a sensuous voice "you will have to pay for your mistake Sona"

His words...his touch...his gaze  everything was emerging an unexplainable feeling within me...  moving my  eyeballs I bowed the head down to avoid his strong gaze...he took my chin between his finger and thumb and made me look at his hypnotic eyes...whereas his other hand was still on my waist.

I looked into his beautiful eyes which are making my heartbeats a mess. Gulping down the thick lump of emotions that formed in my throat I mumbled

"Ar..jun....vo"

I was trying to utter something with my trembling lips but then I heard Aarav's voice

"Bhai...did you...oops...I am sorry....I am sorry" Aarav entered our room but when he saw us in that cozy posture immediately he turned around apologizing

I freed myself from his hold and looked down playing with fingers.

"Bhai next time please close the door when you are planning to romance with your loving wife" Aarav teased making my cheeks go pink

"It's nothing like that...keep your imagination with you" Arjun defended making his way to bed.

"What the hell happened to the room...why the pillows are lying on the floor Bhabhi??" Rolling his eyes over the room he called into questions

"Nothing much...I teased your brother so he tried to hit me with these pillows" Picking up the pillows I answered

Arjun who was sitting on the bed covered his mouth with hands in shock hearing my answer.

"How dare you do that Bhai??" You tried to hit Bhabhi??"

Arjun didn't answer his questions.

He picked up one pillow and looked at me "Don't worry Bhabhi...your devar is here to rescue you...I'll be your Superman" and winked an eye at me. I understood what he wanted to say and taking baby steps and hiding pillows at our backs we reached the bed  where Arjun was engaged with his phone.

He noticed our presence and looked at us raising his brow "What??"

Aarav and I exchanged glances and then looked at our Bali ka bakra  and  started hitting Arjun with pillows.

"What the hell?? Aaru Sona stop... it's hurting me" Arjun was trying to cover his face with his hands but we didn't stop.

"What's going on here??" Rohan entered with a surprising expression

"Rohan come and take these two shaitaans out of my room" Arjun ordered lying on the bed taking some oxygen.

"Rohan if you obey him..I'll reveal your secret here in front of everyone...so better you help me" I blackmailed him

The helpless Rohan had to obey me instead of Arjun and reluctantly he joined our team.

Arjun was rolling on the bed defending and pleading us to stop but we were not ready to quit.

"Stop it" abruptly he shouted at the top of his lungs.

I got frightened by his sudden explosion that the pillow in my hand automatically was dropped down and my palms began to sweat. My eyes started getting heavy that I was on the urge of crying.

He got up from the bed.

"Have you all gone mad...what kind of a stupid act was this ha??...and Rohan this was not what I expected from you" he snapped

"It's all because of you Sona" he yelled at me pointing his finger and tears rolled down my cheeks which I was holding back.

"Are..are..Sona..I was joking..don't cry" saying this he stepped forward to console but unwillingly I took a step back.

Aarav pulled me into a brotherly hug and consoled me caressing my hairs "Bhabhi don't cry, please...Bhai was joking..he didn't mean to hurt you..stop crying please"

As he was consoling me I hide my face in his chest sobbing having no idea when Arjun left the room.

************************************

Author's POV:

After the incident, Aarav and Rohan left for their respective places. The two love birds Arjun and Sona were unhappy for disappointing themselves.

Sona was in the kitchen cursing herself for her stupid behavior.
What was his mistake?? He was just trying to have some fun by playing a prank. He didn't speak anything hurtful but then too she cried like a fool spoiling everything. And when he moved closer...to hold her...to console her...she denied him...she denied his touch...she hurt him. Arjun who always looks after her comfort...her happiness...everything which is related to her...she hurt him...Sona hurt her Arjun.

Arjun was in the room cursing himself for his stupidity...for his prank which was gone wrong. How can he even think of yelling at Sona when he knows how sensitive she is?? Though it was a prank that had good intention it went wrong that made her cry...no it was him who made her cry he believed. Sona who always looks after his health... always thinks of making him smile... looks after each and every minor thing related to him..he made her cry...Arjun made his Sona cry.

Apart from this one more thing that hurt Arjun was Sona's denial. When she took a step back denying him and his touch he felt like someone is stabbing his heart with a knife. He couldn't take it and  directly left the room. Aarav acknowledging that the couple is hurt with each other he consoled Sona and let Arjun be alone for some time as he knew that his brother needs his own space.

Is she uncomfortable by my touch?? Does she get disgusted by my touch??
She thinks that I inappropriately touch her so she moved back... but I can't think of doing such a thing not even in my dreams...I just wanted to take her in my arms...wipe her tears and apologize. Running a chain of thoughts in his mind he laid on the bed. Closing his eyes he thought of  rewinding the time  and change everything that happened in the past hour.

Sona on the other hand ascending the stairs to her room was getting nervous to face him. She was ashamed of herself over her stupidity.

Reaching the room she found Arjun sleeping on the bed. Without making any sound carefully she locked the door and taking baby steps she walked towards the bed. Arjun who was so sunk in his thoughts did not sense her presence.

She covered him with the quilt and was about to turn towards the couch but then Arjun felt something on his body and opening his eyes he saw Sona who was retiring to the couch.  He pulled her from her wrist and she landed on his chest.

Both kept on glancing at each other where Sona's hands were on his chest feeling the thumping of his heartbeats and Arjun's arm snaked around her waist.

The smile which she always wanted to stick to his lips was shredded away all because of her she concluded.

He can't see her teary eyes. He won't allow anyone to make her cry but this time it was Arjun himself who made her cry...seeing her puffy eyes he felt guilty.

"Sorry" both spoke together

He tucked a lock of her chin-length hair behind her ear.

"I was joking," she said

He placed a hand gently upon her cheek, caressing it with his thumb he explained "So was I Sona....but  everything got messed"

"I thought you were sleeping"

"How can I sleep when my wife is upset...ha?? His thumb didn't stop caressing her cheek.

"I was upset because I hurt you"

"Ya that's true...you hurt me a lot" placing back his hand to her waist he stated

Sona felt guilty at the statement but soon it was faded away when she heard his next words

"You hit me so hard as if I was a punching bag," he said faking a sad face

She chuckled at his expressions and slapped his chest lovingly.

"Ouch...Sona you are so strong and see again you are hurting me"

"You have a gym body Mr. Arjun"

"Acha Ji...so you are taking advantage of it" he said with a playful smile

"Absolutely"

"Well you can do anything with me... I don't have any problem with it because"

"Because" she repeated eagerly to know the reason

Wrapping his arms around her shoulders he said "Sona ka Arjun pe Pura Haq Hai"

She blushed at his words  and hiding her rosy cheeks she shifts her gaze down. He smiled at her cute blushing and rolled over her making her lay on the bed.

"Good night" saying this he pressed his lips delicately to her forehead

Sona closed her eyes savoring the moment. It was her first kiss with Arjun. A kiss of adoration and affection. A kiss that touched her soul.

Arjun looked into her gorgeous eyes for a moment and suddenly closed his eyes tight realizing what he had done.  He cursed himself under his breath and stood up from the bed. Sona understood the reason behind this and immediately she held his wrist.

Getting up from the bed she stood close to Arjun whose head was bowed down. She took his hands and encircled them around her waist locking his hands back. Arjun glanced at her in confusion.

Placing one hand on his chest and the other one touching his cheek she announced "I never feel bad  when you touch me Arjun...so please don't be under any guilt"

"Then why did you..

"I was scared at that moment " she cut him knowing what he was going to say and sliding down her hand which was over his cheek she placed it on his chest.

"Scared of me??"

"No Dumbo"

"Then??" He wanted to know the reason for the rejection

She bowed her head down "I was scared that you will slap me"

Arjun looked at her in disbelief. How can she think that?? He felt like laughing at her funny thought.

"Sona look at me" he ordered

Sona moved her gaze up as he ordered to do.

"Do you  think  I will ever slap you??"

She nodded a no exactly as a  small child commits.

"Then how..."

"Bolana I was scared" again she interrupted him being embarrassed

"Sona sometimes you are too cute to handle" he wanted to admit but didn't do that instead he kept staring at her pouty face.

"Arjun"

Coming back to his senses he responded "Ha Sona"

"You can touch me or do anything that you wish...I don't have any problem"

"Because??"

"Arjun ka Sona pe Pura Haq hai"

He rested his forehead gently over hers and a smile crinkled on both their lips. They were lost in their world.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens in a heartbeat...in a single flashing... a throbbing moment❤
