निग़ाहें उनकी झरोखों सी,

खुलती हैं,

कि ज़िन्दगी में मेरे, 

सवेरा होता है।

Writer's POV:-

Lying in the pool of blood his body went limp. He lost the battle of life and his head rolled down in her lap.

Looking at the last ounce of life leaving his body, a bone-chilling cry escaped her throat. She shouted in sheer agony.

"Aakarsh…" 

She shook his lifeless body in her lap vigorously, but, all in vain. No amount of rain can pour the drops her eyes were letting go. They shed tears after tears and trailing behind were the cries of her bleeding heart. 

A sinister laugh roared in the background, snatching the ground under their feet.

"He is dead. Aakarsh is dead!" 

"Noooo… Krishhhhhh..." screaming at the highest decibel of her voice, Krishna opened her eyes. 

Yes, it was the deadliest nightmare a mother could see! 

"Krishna, what happened? Why were you screaming? Krishna, look here... look at me." Mrinal got up hearing her scream. He called her a few times watching her getting panicked. But, she wasn't in her sane mind.

No mother would be!

"Krishna…" Mrinal shook her hard when she didn't listen to him.

Looking everywhere frantically she panted hard. Several sweat beads appeared on her face and neck as soon as she came to her senses. 

"Krish… Krish…" she gulped some air, whispering Aakarsh's name in a breathless voice. 

"Krishna, what happened? Why are you calling Krish?" Mrinal asked, looking at her anxious and panicked behaviour.

"She… she killed my Krish… she killed him…" Krishna said, still being in trance.

"Krishna... Krishna… look at me." Mrinal turned her face to himself, forcefully.

As soon as her eyes met with his, a trail of continuous teardrops formed on her cheeks. 

"She killed our child, Mrinal. She killed him." Sobbing like a child Krishna said.

"Nothing has happened to our child, Krishna. It was just a bad dream." Mrinal wiped her tears, consoling her.

"No… I need to see him. I need to see him myself." Saying so, Krishna removed the blanket away from her body and got up from bed.

But, she couldn't walk as Mrinal held her hand from behind. 

"He must be sleeping Krishna, it's not even 5 yet," Mrinal said pointing at the wall clock which showed 4:50 AM.

"Still I have to make sure he is okay." Freeing her hand from his grips Krishna almost ran to the door, barefooted.

Obviously, no mother will have the conscience or right state of mind to look out for her things if it comes to her beloved child. 

Exactly at this moment, Krishna was Aakarsh's mother only!

The one Mrinal was trying to stop wasn't his wife. She was a mother and a mother won't stop if it's a question of her child's safety and life.

Running slowly on the stairs she reached near Aakarsh's room only to stop and chanted a few mantras under her breath before opening the door. 

Mrinal was on her immediate back as he couldn't leave his beloved wife in such a situation, especially when she needed him.

As soon as she opened the door, her eyes met with a beautiful sight. Aakarsh was sleeping peacefully with a serene smile on his face. 

And it wasn't the only thing that made her smile but the way his hands were wrapped around Diksha, holding her close and securely in his arms, made Krishna relax. 

Today they weren't awkward to see them close, they were very happy to see their children happy and peaceful in each other's embrace instead.

Krishna turned to Mrinal and noticed he had already turned to the other side after seeing them sleeping together. 

"See he is sleeping peacefully. You were unnecessarily worrying." Mrinal said soon after Krishna closed the door.

"Hmm…" Krishna hummed and leaned on his shoulder but Mrinal shifted her to his chest hugging her sideways.

They walked towards their room with a much-relaxed mind and heart.

Writer's POV:- 

The fresh golden sun rays disturb Aakarsh's sleep. He tried to cover his eyes and sleep again but couldn't as there was enough light in the room

Opening his eyes he looked around and met the beautiful sight of his morning.

Diksha was sleeping like a child hiding her face in his neck. Her body was almost on his as her limbs covered half of his body.

With her left hand and leg threw across Aakarsh and holding him tightly, Diksha was sleeping oblivious to his loving gaze with mouth slightly open lips apart in a way that looked like a kid's lips.

"Such a kid she is. Looking at her posture, who would say she's an active lioness otherwise?" Aakarsh mumbled and chuckled at her posture and shifted a little to stretch himself. 

He removed the free dancing locks from her pretty morning face and kissed her forehead.  

She stirred in her sleep in his actions, inhaling a deep breath.

"Hmmm…" Diksha moaned in contentment.

"Good morning Jaan," Aakarsh whispered near her lips, noticing her eyeballs moving to open. 

"Good morning." Saying so she opened her eyes only to see his face too close to her. 

"Wha…" 

Before she could ask anything, Aakarsh smashed his lips on hers, taking the morning kiss. He smooched her lower lips hard. 

Raising her T-shirt, he caressed her bare silky waist feeling its smoothness under his rough palm.

His hand moved slightly up as he was now sensuously caressing her back till waist. Aakarsh was squeezing handfuls of her smooth skin on every inch, slowly and sensually.

Ahh, the pinching and squeezing on her skin lit the fire in her body!

She held his hand to stop it in its place as it was creating an uncontrollable tingling sensation in her skin, but he freed it and continued his sweet torture.

"Umm.." a theory moan escaped her lips only to get lost in his mouth.

She tried breaking the kiss but he held her head from the back and kept his legs over her to trap her in his embrace.

He was squeezing and pinching her back and didn't let her break the kiss also.

She moaned in his mouth when he pinched her waist making her mouth open for him to put his tongue in. 

We must close our eyes now! *Blush*

After some good minutes, Aakarsh left her lips when she started to wiggle for air.

Oxygen is indeed a lifesaver, people! *Winking*

"What the he..ll was th..at?" She asked breathlessly as he joined their foreheads feeling the moment.

His hands were still inside her T-shirt but were still now.

"That's called morning kiss, Jaan!" He said, casually, like it's a very regular topic people discuss.

"I know what it is called. I'm asking why early in the morning? I haven't even brushed. Yuck!" Grossing at the exchange of morning breaths she said making faces.

"For the first, it's like a morning dose and second I don't care about your brushing. All I think is your breaths mixing with mine till the extent where we can't differentiate." He said, huskily, in his morning voice.

She looked at him with fake glares but was failing miserably as her red painted cheeks were telling some other tale. 

"I must say your morning lips taste different!" He teased and winked at her, turning her even redder. 

Ohh, the wild kitten is blushing in the early morning! *Winking*

"Shut up, and leave me I've to go now!" Said Diksha without looking into his eyes. 

"Umm-hmm" he denied, naughtily, tightening his grip more.

"Everybody will be up any moment, Aakarsh, leave me na." She pleaded looking at the clock which was displaying 5:30 AM.

He just stared at her brown shining orbs. 

How innocent were they looking! 

Despite being the morning eyes, they are the prettiest pair he has ever seen in his life.

Suddenly some words by him turned her all red again. 

"Nigahen unki jharokon si, 
khulti hai ki zindagi mein mere
savera hota hai.
(Her eyes are like windows, as soon as they open, there is a fresh morning in my life)..." Aakarsh whispered looking deeply into her eyes and like the other times, her breath hitched in her throat hearing his deep words.

"That's… that's really deep!" She said in a low voice, blushing all the while.

Ain't the active lioness blushing a lot this morning?

I wonder what happened!? *Winking*

"And that's the truth of my life now!" Whispered Aakarsh, kissing her forehead again.

She smiled shyly at him and sat straight. He too followed her suit sitting straight. 

"Though, I don't want to let you go… but you must go before anyone comes to know about our little secret!" He winked at her, making her giggle. 

Only if they knew! *Author is laughing*

Writer's POV:-

It was lunchtime and all the 5 interns who were selected to work with Aakarsh personally, were in the cafeteria along with their other colleagues.

It has been 3 days since they got their cubicle on Aakarsh's floor and are working under his guidance.

"Anything more, Vivaan." Aakarsh asked, looking at his laptop.

"Sir Mr. Mehta wanted to discuss a few things regarding the new project as it's going to be 6 months in a month. He has invited you for a casual meal." Vivaan updated Aakarsh about his schedule and informed him of this.

"So? Vivaan, You know how to deal with such situations. I'm not free to have any casual dining with him. Did you forget that?" Aakarsh asked in a strict tone looking up at him furiously.

The return of Hulk!

"I re… remember, Sir!" Said an all-time scared Vivaan.

"Do I have to teach this too, Vivaan? Don't you already know how to tackle such situations?" Aakarsh said in his usual stern tone, scaring the shit out of Vivaan again this morning.

"I know, Sir. And, I… I did try but he is being really adam… ant." Vivaan said in a trembling voice.

Poor Vivaan! 

"Adam… ant? What is that?" Frowning his brows, Aakarsh asked in his usual bossy strict voice.

"I… I mean adamant, Sir. Sorry, Sir." Vivaan instantly cleared his point as he didn't want his hulk for a boss to think about his termination letter.

Why, Vivaan? Why? 

Why so scared? *Soft giggles*

"You and your n number of apologies. Make sure to clear this situation till the end of the day or get ready with your bags." Aakarsh's stern tone again scared his shit… though it was like forever since he's getting this warning but he was never terminated.

Reason: he does his work efficiently and Aakarsh silently appreciated that in him.

But, Vivaan didn't know that. He always thought that since he handled everything on first warning, his hulk for a boss never threw him out. And, that day might come any day. So, he's always scared. 

Again, poor Vivaan! *Giggles*

❃❃❃❃❃

"Sir, I've completed the assignment before the deadline," Nandini said, battling her eyes at Aakarsh.

It was soon after lunch that Aakarsh called all the 5 interns to report their progress on the first assignment.

"That's very good Miss Sharma… but I'll check it once the deadline is off only," Aakarsh said, in a plain tone, averting his gaze at Diksha who was standing there with a file. 

Samiksha and Sejal chuckled looking at Nandini's sulking face.

Diksha showed him eyes to remove his gaze but Aakarsh being Aakarsh continued his silent action.

"Sir, even I and Diksha have completed the assignment." The mention of Diksha's name that too from some guy drew Aakarsh's attention.

He looked at Vedant who was smiling at Diksha after speaking, whereas she whispered something to Sejal.

The way Vedant looked at Diksha, made Aakarsh furious. He clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Roy, I think Miss Shrivastaw has her own voice and she can definitely speak for herself. But since you already spoke on her behalf, she will explain her and your assignment to me, now. And you both, Mr. Vedant and Miss Nandini are going to help Miss Sejal and Miss Samiksha in completing the assignment by the end of working hours." Aakarsh said, sternly, making Vedant drop his smile in a fraction of a second.

"But, Sir…"

"You four can go now and Miss Diksha, bring their progress reports." Dismissing everyone, Aakarsh indulged himself in work still being pissed off.

Diksha sensed his mood and went to get the pen drive of the progress reports, thinking what will he do with her now?

Only if she knew beforehand! *Evil laugh*
