It was late at night, and Teju had just gotten ready, checking the time nervously. She was about to leave for Karan's house, keeping everything under wraps, but little did she know that her sharp-eyed daughter, Kavya, had caught wind of something suspicious.

Teju slowly crept toward the door, trying to leave quietly, but as she reached for the handle, a small voice piped up from behind her.

"Mumma," Kavya's voice was sharp, making Teju freeze in place. She slowly turned around, trying to hide the panic on her face. Kavya was standing in the hallway, arms crossed, her expression serious.

Teju chuckled nervously, trying to play it cool. "Kavya, soyi nhi abhi tak? itni raat ho gayi hai baby...its  late na ?"

Kavya raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying the act. "  Vahi toh mumma....same chez mai apko puchu toh? itni raat ho gayi hai...kaha jaa rahe ho aap?? vo bhi itna ready shedy hoke.....papa se milne jaa rahe ho? jaise kal raat vo yaha aapse milne aaye the??? " Her voice was filled with suspicion.

Teju felt her heart race. "kya? nhi baby..aaisa kuch nhi hai...bas...vo..kuch kaam...vo.."

Kavya raised both eyebrows now, hands still firmly planted on her hips. "Mumma...jhoot mat bolo..mai baby nhi hu..i am 5 years old " She narrowed her eyes dramatically, making Teju feel like a guilty teenager sneaking out. " Aap aaise chupke se papa se milne jaa rahe ho na?"

Teju's mouth opened and closed as she tried to come up with an excuse. "No, sweetheart, ...bas hawa khane jaa rahi hu...u know na..muje fresh hawa kitni pasand hai..aur raat ki thankdak mai ..vo...hawa milegi...so...," she said, her voice cracking slightly.

Kavya   tilted her head, not convinced in the slightest. " mumma...sach mai?? hawa?? raat mai?? aap papa se milne jaa rahe ho na...muje pata hai ....!" she declared ,

Teju's hands flew up in surrender. "Okay, okay! You caught me!  ha mai aapke papa se milne ja rahi hu par—"

"Ha!" Kavya interrupted, her face lighting up with a mischievous grin. " muje pata tha....aaj bhi mere bina hi time spend karoge aap dono.....vaha vo bhi muje bhul jate hai....aur aap bhi aab vaha jaa rahe ho.....aab bhi bhul jaoge muje.."

Teju tried to look serious, but the playfulness in her daughter's eyes made it hard. " baby..apako mai aur papa kaise bhul sakte hai..aap toh baby ho na hamare "

Kavya crossed her arms again, pouting now," ha..aap bas bolte ho mumma...papa se milne ke baad...aapka aur papa ka vo..priv..priv.....

teju chuckled saying, " privacy.."

kavya glares her innocently saying, " vahi vahi.....privacy ke chakkar mai muje bhul hi jaoge....u dont love me mumma !!!!! " She crossed her arms and stuck her lip out in an exaggerated pout.

Teju sighed and kneeled in front of her daughter, her heart melting at the dramatic act , " Kavu...tu janti hai aaisa nhi hai...mai aur tere papa dono tujse bohot pyaar karte hai..par kabhi kabhi hum bade logo ko bhi privacy chahiye hoti hai na.....right?

Kavya stared at her mother for a long moment before a sly smile crept onto her face. " okay okay, aap jao par....next time muje bata ke jana..remember, i am not a baby any more.......aur muje bhulna mat....mere baare mai papa ke sathh baate karna" she added, her voice softening a bit.

Teju couldn't help but laugh, pulling her daughter into a tight hug,  kissing the top of her head. "Alright, I promise, aapke baare mai papa aur mai bohot baate karenge itni ki apako hiccups aati hi rahe.....

both laughed 

teju says with a smile, " You'll always be our princess betu , and I'll be back soon. par iske baare mai kisiko batana mat  okay? It's a little secret between us."( she said late line with a pleading tone)

Kavya  smiled mischievously and says, " fine..nhi bataungi kisiko..bas vaha jake papa ko meri taraf se hug aur kissi dena..." 

Teju chuckled. "pakka...abhi chalo aap sojao..."

kavya rolled her eyes playfully saying , " Rey ke sath video call hai..uske baad pakka soo jaungi"

teju chuckled saying, " acha thik hai..jaldi soojana..bye betu...mai kal subah tak aajuangi"

kavya: " okay mumma..bye...."

As she stepped out into the night, she couldn't help but laugh at the chaotic little interrogation her daughter had put her through. "  In full sense ye Khatron ke khiladi X  Rodies  ki beti hai " she murmured chuckling , knowing full well her daughter was going to keep her on her toes.

after some time 

Teju arrived at Karan's house, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She had just managed to sneak out without anyone noticing, but she was still on edge. As she stepped inside, she quickly closed the door behind her, glancing around to make sure no one had seen her.

Karan was already waiting for her, a smirk on his face as he leaned against the wall casually. " Finally ladoo....kabse wait kar raha tha yaar mai tera...." he said, his voice low and teasing.

Teju walked toward him, still looking over her shoulder as if expecting someone to appear. " sunny...sach mai..itna toh khatron ke stunts karte hue daar nhi laga jitna yaha aate hue laga....ki kahi koi paps dekh na le..ya koi pehechan wala dekh na le........"

Karan chuckled, stepping closer to her. "Relax, ladoo...aab koi nhi dekhega...chill"

Teju rolled her eyes, but she couldn't hide the smile forming on her lips. "Tum na....u are impossible sunny" She huffed, crossing her arms but leaning into him slightly.

Karan leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I know, but you love it ladoo ."

Teju let out a soft laugh, finally letting her guard down. "Yeah, I do," she admitted, her voice softer now.

Karan pulled back slightly, his hands still resting on Teju's waist as he looked at her, a teasing smile playing on his lips. " princess ne dekha tumhe ghar se nikalte vakt?" he asked, his tone playful but with a hint of concern.

Teju's eyes widened, and she immediately shot him a look, her expression a mixture of disbelief and annoyance. "sunny...pls yaad mat dilao....hamari beti hai vo..par maa se kam nhi hai...." she snapped, though her voice was tinged with humor. "She has a brain of our mix , you know? ofcourse usne muje ghar se nikalte vakt dekh liya.....and she gave me a third degree...i swear aaisa lag raha tha ki vo koi CID ki member hai aur mai accuse hu "

karan laughed hard, " sach?"

" Sach mai sunny....i mean....itni si toh hai..phir bhi pata nhi itna kaise soch leti hai..maine usse bola ki mai hawa khane jaa rahi hu phir bhi pakad liya usne...........Teju said, rolling her eyes.

karan says with a sigh, " kash...princess bhi yaha hoti" 

teju saw him with a smirk, " are u sure tum chahte ho vo yaha hoti abhi? 
 karan chuckled being embarrassed, " um..okay..abhi nhi..par..ha..i mean....thik hai..kal mil lenge usse.....princess hai vo meri.."

both laughed. 

karan : " aab agar princess ki baate ho gayi hai toh queen pe bhi dhayan de dete hai......."  

Karan reached out, brushing his thumb gently across Teju's cheek, the softness of the touch making her heart flutter.

Teju felt a shiver run down her spine at the intensity in his gaze. The world outside seemed to vanish, leaving only the two of them in this intimate bubble. "muje laga hum sirf dinner ke liye mil rahe hai sunny......." she whispered, her heart racing.

Karan gave a playful smirk, his lips dangerously close to hers. " and what if mera plan ho dinner ke baad kuch aur karne ka toh????."

Teju swallowed, her breath catching in her throat as she looked into his eyes, unable to look away. " roka kisne hai??? ," she whispered back, her hands gently resting on his chest.

Karan leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear as he whispered, "just waiting for the best moment my love ."

Before either of them could say another word, Karan's lips were on hers, soft and slow, as if he was savoring the very essence of her. The kiss deepened, their connection growing stronger with every passing second. Teju's hands moved up to cup his face, pulling him even closer as she melted into him.

When they finally broke away, both were breathless, their foreheads leaning against each other in the silence that followed. The world outside had no hold on them, and in that moment, it felt like nothing else mattered.

Teju smiled softly, her voice playful. " aab dinner kar sakte hai..i am hungry....""

Karan  whined , his hands still resting on her waist. "U and ur dinner..yaar..ache khase mood ka tehes nehas kar diya.......huhhh"

With a final, lingering kiss, they turned toward the dining table, but the magnetic pull between them remained, their connection undeniable, leaving an unmistakable sense of warmth lingering in the air.

After Dinner 

 Teju moved around the house, aimlessly picking up a few things here and there. Her mind was far from the present moment. She found herself lost in thoughts. 

She walked to the window, staring out at the  sky, her fingers grazing the edges of the curtains as her eyes stared into the nothingness. The memories of the past — of happier times — came rushing to her,  it felt as if it was all just yesterday.

Six years ago, everything had been perfect. Her family had been whole. Karan's laughter had filled the house, and their little world felt like it was made of dreams. There had been late-night talks, playful arguments, and the promise of forever.

But then, that one accident — it had come like a storm, tearing everything apart. The loss. The pain. The emptiness. It felt like a cruel twist of fate, as though the universe had decided to take everything away from her in a single instant. And just like that, the life they had built together was shattered.

Teju's hand clenched around the edge of the windowsill as she closed her eyes, trying to push away the painful memory of that night — the night Karan had been lost to her.

Suddenly, a soft step behind her made her stiffen. She turned to find Karan standing in the doorway, his expression filled with concern. His eyes, always so understanding, were watching her carefully, sensing the change in her demeanor.

"Teju," he said softly, his voice carrying a tenderness that made her heart ache. "kya hua?"

Teju was in tears, " vo raat.....6 saal pehele..kash mai thodi si dhayan rkahti na sunny...toh vo sab nhi hota...agar mai...

Karan's heart clenched at the words. He crossed the room in two long strides, gently cupping her face in his hands. "Ladoo " he whispered, " maine tuje pehele bhi bola hai....usmai teri galti nhi thi.....u were not at fault..."

Her lips trembled, and she let out a quiet, almost pained laugh. " sunny par....socho na agar mai thoda dhayan rakhti toh hum aaj sath hote..mai tum aur kavu..tumahre family ke sath.. mummy papa ( km kd) kavu ko kitna pmaper karte.....harsh preet kavu best cousins hote......mai reva di shilpa di..kitne close the......sab  kuch cheen gaya aab"

Karan's heart ached seeing the vulnerability in her eyes. He pulled her gently into his arms, his voice low and soothing. "ladoo..jo hua usse change nhi kar sakte na hum....pls..roo mat..u know i cant see u in tears"

Teju leaned into him, the warmth of his embrace offering her the comfort she hadn't realized she needed. She closed her eyes, letting the tears fall freely now. "Thanku sunny...hamesha mera sath dene ke liye.........."

As the night deepened, the house fell into a peaceful silence, the only sound being the soft rustling of the leaves outside the window. Teju and Karan came to their bedroom. 

karan saw teju was still little sad so he  reached for her, lifting her gently into his arms. She let out a small gasp of surprise but immediately relaxed as he carried her to the bed. 

teju giggles, " sunny..kya kar rahe ho?"

" romance" he murmured, his lips brushing against her ear as he gently kissed her neck.

She closed her eyes, the sensation of his lips on her skin making her pulse quicken. "Sunny" she whispered his name. 

 Karan leaned in closer, his lips brushing hers in a gentle kiss. It was tender, full of love and years of unspoken words. As their lips met, the world outside seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them, wrapped in each other's embrace. The kiss deepened slowly, as if neither wanted to break the connection between them.

Teju's hands tangled in Karan's hair, pulling him closer as their kiss became more urgent, more desperate. Her heart pounded in her chest, the years of separation and longing finally catching up with them. Karan responded with equal intensity, his hands sliding down to her waist as he pulled her even closer.

In that moment, the world outside was nothing but a distant memory. There was only the two of them, lost in the intimacy of the night. Karan's touch was gentle yet firm, as though he wanted to make sure she knew how much he needed her, how much he cherished her.

Teju's breath hitched as Karan's lips trailed down her neck, placing soft kisses along her skin. Her hands roamed over his chest, feeling the warmth of his body beneath her fingertips. Every inch of him felt like home — a place she could rest, a place where she was loved.

Their bodies moved together in perfect harmony, as if time had no meaning. Karan's kisses grew more intense, but there was always the softness, the tenderness that had always been there between them. The bond they shared was something that neither time nor distance could ever diminish.

As the night deepened, their love became the only thing that mattered, wrapping them in its warmth and comfort. And in each other's arms, they found a sense of peace — a love that had survived every storm and had only grown stronger in the quiet moments of tenderness shared between them.

next day 

teju woke up and saw the time

10 AM 

 Teju sat up, rubbing her eyes in a flurry. "Sunny," she said in a hushed, almost panicked voice.  " muje ghar jana hai...tumhari family aagayi toh??"

Karan smiled lazily, rolling over to face her, propping himself up on his elbow. "relax ladoo ," he said in a calm, reassuring tone. " shaam tak aayenge vo log"

Teju shot him a look, her brow furrowed in concern. " par..jaldi aagaye toh??? hum risk nhi le sakte na."

Karan, still lying next to her, reached out and gently took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Okay," he said, his voice quiet but laced with affection. " chal..i will drop u ....kavu se bhi mil lunga."

Teju gave him a small smile with a nod, her heart warm. karan held teju by her waist when both heard a voice which made them numb . 

" oh....wow...old guest...hamare ghar pe ," the voice spoke, dripping with sarcasm. It was deep, authoritative which made teju and karan run shiver in their bodies.

Karan's eyes widened in shock. He immediately froze, his whole body tensing. Teju, too, froze, her body stiff with surprise and worry. 

Teju, still in shock, looked over at Karan, but he was already moving—his hand instinctively grabbing hers as he tried to hide behind her. His heart pounded as he stared toward the door, his thoughts racing. What is he doing here? His mind screamed. Why now? 

The figure in the doorway remained still, tall and imposing, his presence as commanding as his voice. The man's gaze was cold, sharp, and full of judgment. He hadn't moved an inch, watching them both with an inscrutable expression. Karan's heart sank as he realized who it was, but the tension in the room remained.

" secret life huh??" the voice continued. 

The figure stood in the doorway, his smirk cutting through the silence. " i hope tum dono ready ho ek rapid fire round ke liye....," the man said with a chuckle, his voice dark and full of meaning. "par ha..not gift hampers..just thode gaaliya aur laat..vo bhi iss nalayak ko"

Karan's grip tightened around Teju's hand. 

both looked like lovey dovey teenagers who are caught while romancing
