It was Monday afternoon. Kartik had gone out an hour back she had briefly seen him.

“I’m back” he came into the hall and rushed over to her, sitting on the sofa in her coral salvar, “Listen I have a surprise for you” she looked up caught by surprise.

“hmm?” she replied completely unexpected, a surprise for her what could it possibly be? Her mind reflected, he waved his hand for her to stand up,  she got up from the sofa,

“yah close your eyes”

“ok” she closed them, as he told her to.

“ok now you can open them” he said with a tinge of enthusiasm in his own voice.

“didi!”  said two cute voices.. Naira knew those innocent voices all to well.

“oh my god!  she smiled.,seeing her two brothers standing infront of her eyes, really they are here? She was astonished how did Kartik do this?.

“Kirtan, Mohan my babies what are you both doing here"  she said as they ran to her, hugging her waist. She looked up at Kartik as she patted their backs looking down at them with a full smile, her attention went to the mysterious yet totally gorgeous man

"you? how did you?” he could clearly see on her face that she was very happy to see them.

“didi Kartik bhaiya came to get us” said Kirtan.

“and maa was fine with it because Kartik bhaiya  is.”  Kartik raced to stop Mohan saying any further.

“Mohan and Kirtan if you talk then less time to play right?”  Naira noticed Mohan was made to be quiet what are they keeping from her. “boys play with sir for a little while she heard the baby monitor go off.  “I have to settle Siya ok?” they nodded. Kirtan went to get something from his bag.

“Chalo your didi is busy, get your ball we will have a kick around outside come.” He said taking each ones hand. He brushed passed Naira. She was grinning it was so nice to see her brothers over, but something was bugging her what  did Mohan want to say. As Kartik got outside, he turned to Mohan. 

“Mohan beta, didi is worried enough right so why don’t we keep this as our secret?” Mohan knew secrets were not good, having a di like Naira whilst growing up always taught both boys what’s right from wrong.  Luckily kids were bribed easily with a sweet tooth.

“Look here comes icecream” he said as Sangam bought out 3 bowls.

“ok bhaiya I won’t tell didi” he smiled and both boys ran to grab a bowl and spoon, he sat them both down on the deck chairs, to enjoy the icecream. Shortly  Naira bought Siya outside to get some fresh air. She didn’t make her presence known, they were busy now throwing the ball around and it might hit Siya so it was better to stay out of sight, she could see them really enjoying the ball game with sir and with a smile she went back inside.  Shortly she placed Siya for a nap upstairs, and came back down stairs. She heard her brother’s voices and Sir’s too..

“Boys no shouting please, ok enough games, lets do some studying bring your book here and sit with me.”  they both groaned

“your didi is right come on listen to her,we will play again later ok?”  Kirtan whispered something in Mohan’s ear. He nodded to his brother.

“I need the toilet” he yelled.

“come I’’ll take you” said Kartik.

“no I can find myself” he replied feeling all grown up. Naira looked to Mohan.

“beta let sir take you, it’s a big house you won’t be able to find it na..

“no Kartik bhaiya we will find it please” pleaded Kirtan..  Kartik wasn’t sure what to say he looked to Naira and she nodded to tell him it’s fine for them to go find it.

“yah fine ok the bathroom is upstairs” both boys looked at each other and took the stairs..

“but keep the noise level down Siya is sleeping” she called as she got off the sofa.

“ok di” they said in unison.. she shook her head.. “they can be so stubborn  sometimes” she commented folding her arms she came and stood in front of him. “by the way how did you manage to get them to come, as far as I know my step mum she hates me so..

“Hey, hate is a strong word, and to associate hate and you in the same sentence is a no in my book” he ended with a gentle smile, and she returned a sweet subtle one back..

“I guess its your charm that did it?” she said

“no.. really you think I’m charming?” he said..she looked down and laughed to herself, before she could answer that question,  his phone buzzed interrupting the conversation.. he took it out and looked at it, it flashed ‘Mona’

“it’s work I have to take it, she nodded. “I won’t be too long, he said patting  her upper left arm for a split second. Then he was off to  attend the call.. “Yes Mona… he said as he walked off.   Her and Kartik were becoming close friends and it felt great.  

“Didi I missed you doing chumpy”  Naira turned around to the staircase.

“oh so that’s..why.. you both want a hair oil massge that’s why you wanted to go to the bathroom to find it right?” she walked to both of them.   “but guys I don’t have any oil with me” Just then Kartik walked back into the hall, with a black file he was going through the pages.

“bhaiya you must have” they both turned to Kartik. He looked up “hmm?”

“Hair oil, they want me to give them a oil massage” she said filling him in.

“yah bhaiya didi gives thr best massage” said a excited Mohan. He looked to Naira. “Is that so?” he said impressed.

 “guy I don’t have  but I can arrange it.. Naira shook her head, gesturing its fine, they don’t really need it don’t take on all their demands., he nodded its fine and left from there.

“ok come here both of you.. I haven’t even given you a proper hug” she squeezed them lovingly. she pulled Mohan onto her lap and he made space for his brother. they both sat on her lap, her arms around their waists.  “Mohan  what’s this your becoming motu hmm?” she teased. Mohan just laughed at his didi’s words.

“how is school you both studying hard I hope” both nodded “hmm di”

“good..tell me how is papa?”

“maa said better.. come home didi” said Kirtan.

“we miss you” said Mohan, both cute innocent faces now facing her, Naira didn’t know what to say luckily Kartik came with the hair oil bottle. They both ran to him. “yay” both said together, it was a good escape otherwise she would’ve ended up in tears, seeing them emotional easily broke her.

“Me first, no me first” both argued. “who is elder should go first” said Kartik.

“That’s me” yelled Kirtan and sat down in front of Naira, Mohan didn’t argue further he sat down next to his didi. Kartik saw her start to oil Kirtan’s  hair, and she asked questions on school.. he left them to it.  

“Hmm hogaya” she said after she finished Mohan’s hair.

“Didi thank you I misse you doing chumpy” he said getting up from the sitting position.. Just then Kartik comes into the hall again both boys turn and see Kartik come

“do for Kartik bhaiya too” said Kirtan. Kartik looks up from his file.

“I think he is busy right now” she said looking at him.

“no he isn’t said Mohan. “haina bhaiya, do chumpy like us” he said touching his oily hair. 

“Leave him alone Mohan he is busy. She repeated

“no do  chumy” both boys said in unison. Getting louder and louder. 

“boys!” said Naira. But they didn’t listen. “calm down, I will get chumpy done by your didi khush?” he said making them smile.

“only if your didi doesn’t mind?” he said looking at her.

“yeah sure um.. we can do at the table.. before she knew it Kartik sat down in front of her just like her brother’s did. This felt weird.

“Sir they are young but you don’t have to sit on the floor like this I would prefer..

“its fine, anyway this is the correct way to get a head massage right guys?”

“yes, yes” they replied running out of the hall.

“Kirtan Mohan where are you both.. she trailed off as they didn’t listen.

“I love my brothers but sometimes  they have no manners” she muttered. “I just hope they don’t break anything..”

“no its fine they are probably playing in the garden…

“hmm” she replied.. she paid attention  back to what she was doing

‘right chumpy..'  she took the oil bottle and poured a little bit on her palm then rubbed them together. She looked down, and felt nervous all of a sudden and how to tell him..

“ahem sir move a bit closer I can’t reach you need to come forward to me I mean..” he knew what she meant and shifted backwards, she realised if he comes more forward his back will be touching the sofa and her legs will be on both sides of his shoulder, as he shifted back she took her legs up and crossed them. She began to gently apply the oil in his hair, running her fingers through his thick locks.

‘stop acting nervous it’s just a hair oil, just relax’ she told herself to stop acting silly. But it’s him not just some random guy, its sir. Her fingers gently started to massage the oil into the scalp.

“oh..” he moaned “wow this is just wow” he commented closing his eyes, feeling her hands work his hair, she smiled at his reaction and she went on, massaging the oil he felt her thumbs brush against his earlobs. He sighed, he was feeling very pleasant and relaxed  then she bought her hands back up and finished by combing it a little.

“there you go sir its done” His eyes were still closed.

“Your brother’s are right you have magic in these hands.” and before she knew it he grabbed each of her wrists playfully, it was so unexpected which made  her jerk forward, her head directly on top of his, his head almost leaning on her lap. His eyes still shut, she couldn’t help but admire his face, as she was he slowly opened his eyes, her hair strands brushed against his cheek and lips tickling him.

‘what’s happening?’ her mind questioned..   she sighed when he involunteerig licked his bottom lip to stop the itch that the flowing hair strand left. His eyes, were inviting, he tilted his head more back getting closer.

‘what are you doing Kartik, your in such a crazy situation you forgot you are still married, but Naira she’s..’ he pulled her gently, lost in a trance,  she lower herself to him. She could feel his hand release her wrists, and gently come to her neck, slowly, gently.., her own hands were leaning on his strong shoulders and..
