किस बात की हया है?

वो क्यों हीं घबरा रही है?

हमारी बाहों में बैठे,

वो हमसे ही शर्मा रही है।

Writer's POV:-

"And definitely not again like today morning!" Krishna added, teasing them more.

Diksha felt all the blood rushing to her cheeks and she gaped and looked away, shyly.

Hiding his embarrassment with a cough, Aakarsh asked.

"How do you..." he couldn't complete as Annapurna interjected him.

"We have eyes, beta ji, that too, super functioning ones." This time Annapurna teased him. And he turned red, literally red at her remarks.

"No, we didn't invade your privacy. Actually, I had a dream in the morning and I was feeling restless so I had just come to check up on you and saw you two sleeping like two cute Pandas." Krishna cleared the matter before it took the turn of misunderstanding.

She purposely ignored the fact that Mrinal had accompanied her to Aakarsh's room and he too had witnessed the same scene, thinking it would be more uncomfortable for the couple.

"There's nothing like invading privacy, Mumma!" Said Aakarsh shaking his head in a 'no'.

"I know, still! Anyways, don't forget to lock the door, beta." Krishna said to Diksha

Diksha cleared her throat and faced Krishna with a sincere look.

"Maa, I think you should stay here since he is injured. He might need your help at night." She said slowly, thinking something in her mind.

Aakarsh was looking at her intensely. He knew he might need some help, but he was, somewhere, wishing Diksha to stay with him.

No, he isn't a bad son for wishing her fiancée to be with him instead of his mother, it's just he found himself more comfortable in asking Diksha for any personal help; be it walking to the washroom if he felt dizzy, or removing his shirt if the injuries itched.

Already like a husband who finds it comfortable to ask or say something privately to his wife only, Aakarsh was wishing it to be Diksha.

Krishna shared a look with Annapurna as they (the parents) had talked about it when she had narrated the morning scene to them. Though they were very awkward to know this but even then couldn't contain their happiness knowing their children are so happy and comfortable together.

Their decision of getting them together was indeed the best one!

And yes, unknown to our couple, the parents knew about their little secret! *Winking*

"I know what you're thinking. As a mother I too would want that, beta... but mujhe ek aurat hone ke nate ye bhi pta hai ki ek ladki ka dil kya chahta hai aisi situation me (But as a woman, I also know what a girl's heart wants in such a situation)." Krishna said, caressing Diksha's face.

Diksha looked a bit embarrassed and shy when Krishna addressed her inner turmoil.

"Halanki, tum dono abhi pati-patni nahi ho par tum dono ke beech wo affection aur emotions to hai! Isiliye jitna mera haq hai Aakarsh ki dekhbhal karne ka, utna hi haq ab tumhara bhi hai (Although you two aren't husband and wife yet, but there are those affections and emotions between the two of you! So, As much as I have the right to take care of Aakarsh, you too have the same right now.)" She completed her sentence and looked at Aakarsh who was looking at her and Diksha.

As a mother, Krishna too wanted to take care of her son, but she knew it was Diksha's right too, as she will be his wife in two and half months. And, being a wife herself Krishna understands the dilemma of a girl in this situation.

So, she herself solved this situation.

Diksha didn't reply, just looked down out of shyness. She couldn't say, but she did want to be there for Aakarsh. However, she also didn't want to come between Aakarsh and Krishna as it will always be her right first to take care of her son.

Nevertheless, the way Krishna explained to her, her heart felt happy. Happy to have such a great woman as a to-be mother-in-law who was no less than her own mother.

"Hum bhi iss phase se guzre hai, beta, isiliye ache se samjhte hai ki tere man me kya chal rha hai (we too have passed this phase, my child, that's why we know what's going on in your mind and heart), so you don't need to get embarrassed about it." Said Annapurna, sharing a peaceful smile with Krishna.

"And we too had the same dilemma as you, when it came to our husband and his mother. Aur jo main aaj tumse keh rahi hoon, ye baat mujhe meri saas ne samjhayi thi (and whatever I'm explaining to you today, was explained to me by my mother-in-law). Isiliye (so) don't worry that you're snatching my rights." Krishna said and Diksha replied immediately.

"No Maa I was just..." she couldn't complete her sentence as Krishna interrupted her.

"Maa ka haq kabhi khatam nahi hota, beta, bas patni ka bhi ho jata hai, ye yaad rakhna (A mother's rights never end, my child, it's just the wife who also gets all her rights. Do remember this!)" Krishna smiled and caressed her cheek lovingly, explaining to her the same thing which was explained to her by her mother-in-law when she got married to Mrinal.

Diksha nodded her head and looked at her mother who was emotional to see her daughter getting such a good mother-in-law.

"So, have your dinner and stay here. I'm not teasing you this time but ordering you as a strict mother-in-law to take care of my son. Also, Krish is much better now and you are here for him, so I would be a bit relaxed. And, I shall come to see him at night. Understood?" Krishna said in a fake-strict tone of a strict mother-in-law.

Diksha nodded her head vigorously in affirmation and the ladies burst out laughing. She bit her lips, hiding the embarrassment.

All this while Aakarsh was listening to the ladies talk. He felt blessed to have such ladies in her life, who were not only goodhearted ladies, but have broad thinking too.

Indeed, Krishna was not like some insecure mother-in-law who thinks her daughter-in-law is snatching her son. She felt it to be her daughter-in-law's equal rights in taking care of her son, instead.

And that's the truth, not every mother-in-law thinks the same as Krishna when it comes to their sons!

"Alright, we are going now. Have your dinner. We will come before going to bed." Annapurna said and both the ladies left.

❃❃❃❃❃❃

Diksha sat beside Aakarsh after closing the gate when both the mothers went out.

"Ye humara secret, secret kyu nahi rehta yaar (why don't our secret remains a secret)?" She cried and sulked.

"I don't know..." Aakarsh got up and sat leaning on the bedpost. He chuckled hearing her complaint.

"Why the hell are you laughing, you idiot?" She snapped at him hearing his low chuckle. It did nothing but increased his laughter. She smacked him on his thigh, irritatedly.

"Ouch, mar kyu rahi ho (why are you hitting me)?" He rubbed his thigh but didn't stop laughing.

"You moron, you Potato faced chimpanzee... all this is because of you!" She gritted her teeth at him and hit again.

He is already injured, you violent girl! *Laughing*

"How?" He asked, as his laughter came to a halt.

"You didn't lock the door last night!" She replied, glaring violently at him.

"You could have reminded me na!" He said, shrugging his shoulders.

She recalled something and hit him again.

"What's with you and hitting me every time? It's domestic violence, girl!" Aakarsh retorted dramatically.

"You idiot, if I ask you something slowly in the presence of everyone then the matter has to be kept under wraps, unlike what you did. Instead of replying slowly you asked even loudly." She gritted her teeth at him but didn't hit him this time.

"When did I do so?" Aakarsh frowned, trying to recall any such moment verifying her blame.

"Downstairs, when Vidyut came, I asked you why am I only unaware of everything and you idiot, instead of answering silently you shouted a 'what'. And it drove everyone's attention to me. Seriously, why are you so dumb and slow?" She yelled at him.

Aakarsh recalled the moment when he had done so because he really didn't hear what she whispered.

"That's because you whispered instead of speaking properly. Also, I'm neither dumb nor slow!" He replied, curving his lips giving an -isn't it obvious- look.

"You are! You PFC, you are slow!" She yelled and glared at him.

Suddenly Aakarsh held her hand and pulled her to himself, making her bang with his chest.

"Ayeee... kya kar rahe ho (what are you doing)?" She squealed and held his shoulders to balance herself.

"Kuch nahi mohtarma aap dur se jungli billi ban jati hai. Isliye aapko kareeb la raha hoon (Nothing, madam, you become a wild cat from afar, that's why I'm bringing you closer)." He said huskily and made her sit on his lap, properly.

Entwining his fingers with her, he held both of her hands and tightened his grip twisting them behind her back.

"Aakarsh, koi aa jayega! Chodo mujhe. (Someone might come! Leave me.)" She said looking at the door and wiggled in his lap.

"Sshh, don't move." He silenced her when something stirred inside him and that's when she noticed their position, but not his condition. *Wink*

She was sitting in his lap, with both of her legs on both sides of him, at a negligible distance from his chest. Her hands were locked with his, behind her back. Her bosoms were touching his rock hard chest, that's how close they were. Aakarsh pulled her more and she almost banged her lips with his as her face came just so near his.

"So what were you saying? I'm slow, right?" He whispered, just above her lips.

His hot breaths fell on her cheeks, making her shudder visibly. They couldn't focus anywhere else than their lips so dangerously close.

Her lips parted when Aakarsh rubbed his lips on them. The simple act was so sensuous that made her lips tremble.

"I'm not slow my wild kitten, it's the wrong time. Just wait for two and half months, Jaan. Then I'll show you what illusion you have and how fast I can be!" He said the last sentence, rubbing his lips on her three times.

"Uhhh..." an involuntary moan escaped her lips, when he pushed their entwined hands more in her soft waist.

His eyes hooded in desire and heartbeats increased. She had the same situation and it was all on her face. He brought his face closer to her and licked her upper lip.

She felt a jolt of current passing through her spine on his sensuous act. Her eyes forced closed when he repeated the action on her lower lip.

"AA... Aakarsh... yo... you're injured!" She forced herself to say this amid the unknown pleasure as she knew it is the effect of the painkiller injection and medicine that he was getting so much energy to do these naughty stuff. He kissed her jaw and chin.

"All that is hurting me right now is this distance between us, Jaan! And, it's really painful." He replied slowly and sensuously in a deep voice, trailing small kisses on her neck and jaw.

Halat kharab hai par romance nahi chhutna chahiye janab ka! *Laughing*

"What's painful?" She asked confusedly, getting lost in the bundle of pleasures his small but sensuous kisses were giving to her.

Firstly, she didn't understand what he was saying but then he moved slightly, instantly snapping her eyes open.

"This, Jaan..." he said and again moved slowly, her eyes widened and blood rushed to her cheeks. That's when she realised what he was saying and what was actually hurting him. Their position wasn't helping him either.

"Aakarsh... I..." she struggled to say something but nothing came to her mind as she felt her face heating up in shyness.

Diksha looked down, unable to meet his desirous gaze. His hooded eyes were penetrating her soul, making her shiver again and again. The constant running of jolt of current in her body, made her body tremble. He left her one hand and opened her bun, making her medium-length hair fall on his face.

She blushed profusely when he kissed her cheeks under the curtains of her black hair. Firstly, the left then the right one. She couldn't stop her neck and face from getting redder than before. She couldn't help but blush and feel shy in front of his manly desires.

"Why are you shying and blushing so much, Jaan? It's just me, your Aakarsh. And you are at your rightful place - in my arms." He whispered in her ear and kissed her earlobe.

"I don't... know...!" She managed to say that much only as he started sucking her earlobe. He looked at her as she blushed a lot. He smiled looking at her shy face.

"Arey, humari bahon me baithe aap humse hi sharma rahin hain (hey, you're shying away from me, sitting in my arms only)." He said huskily, and bit her earlobe before sucking it and nibbling it hard.

Creasing her forehead she gasped a deep breath. Her body was heating up due to the effects of his sensuous acts. She wiggled in his lap again.

"Don't move unless you want me to lose my control tonight." He said and left her hands, gripping her waist tightly just above his lap... crotch to be precise.

"Mmmm...Nooo" she bit her lips, preventing an involuntary moan escaping her lips.

He pulled her lips out of her teeth and held half of her neck and cheek.

"That's my job." Saying so he smashed his lips with her kissing fervently.

Our great Hulk is back to his hardworking nature, people! *Giggles*

Diksha circled her hands around his neck, immediately when he started sucking her lips. Their eyes closed. She too started reciprocating the kiss.

Sucking it hungrily like two starving humans, they soon turned it into a passionate one. He delved his tongue in her mouth and sucked her tongue making her wiggle and moan in the kiss.

He circled her waist, taking her closely in his arms. His hands were everywhere in her back and he pinched her just below her breast and armpit.

Damn! The moment was hell of a hot one! A burning sensation lit in them with each stroke of kiss.

No kiss they shared was as passionate as this one. He kissed & touched every corner of her mouth with the tip of his tongue and just as she tried to understand anything he pushed her more into his lap and pinched her waist.

She shivered too much feeling her body going out of control and broke the kiss, hugging him tightly. Aakarsh collected her shivering body in his arms, controlling his haywire breaths and heartbeats. Her face was in his neck and she was panting hard on his skin. Because of the earth-shattering kiss and also, the sensations his lower body movements created in her body.

"Calm down!" Aakarsh caressed her hair, lovingly, still holding her tightly in his arms.

They remained in that position for a few minutes before breaking the hug.

She separated herself from him but didn't look at his eyes, who was craving to get a look of her after such a passionate and heated moment.

"Hey, meri taraf dekho (look at me)." He requested, softly. Holding her chin, he pushed her face up.

"Nai (no)..." she denied his request, still looking down.

"Please!" His love-filled voice compelled her to obey him and she looked up, shyly. A beautiful red blush adorning her face and neck.

"Why are you feeling so shy? Or did I make you uncomfortable?" He asked, shaking his head.

"No..." she replied immediately, listening to his last sentence and then shied and looked away.

"I thought I made ..." he couldn't complete as she kept her hand on his mouth, shaking his head in a 'no'. He removed her hand from his mouth but held it, entwining their fingers together.

"Alright, I understood. By the way, you look so beautiful with this natural blush." Aakarsh caressed her cheeks, and kissed the back of her hand.

"Aren't you going to say something?" He asked her with a mischievous glint in his eyes. She looked at her and nodded in denial.

"Why? Just before this you were ready to pounce on me and punch me. See that's why I pulled you closer to me!" He chuckled and teased her, pinching her cheeks. She smacked his chest and tried to get up.

"Chhodo mujhe. Dekho khana thanda ho gaya... (leave me. See, the dinner is cold now)." He reluctantly let her go and she stood up.

She checked the food, it was partially cold so she served and arranged it for both of them on the small table.

"Come here, itni dur kyun baithi ho (why are you sitting so far)?" Aakarsh asked when she sat opposite him, and the distance was hardly 2 metres. He was actually calling her to sit beside him.

"I'm practically just a small table away from you, Aakarsh." She scolded him and glared at him.

"But..."

"Shut up aur abhi jo itni takat dikha rahe ho na... kal subah puchungi main jab injection ka asar khatam ho jayega (and the power you're showing now na! I will ask you about it tomorrow morning when the effect of the injection will be over)." Saying so she continued her dinner.

They finished their dinner and Diksha gave her all the medicines. The parents had come for a few minutes to check on him and went back after some talk.

Soon they too slept in each other's arms, peacefully.

Writer's POV:-

Next day:-

It was around 9 am and Aakarsh was still sleeping due to the effects of the medicines. Vidyut had called Leo and Roger to record their statement.

Whole family was present in the hall except Aakarsh. Diksha was listening to them eagerly as she was dying to know what exactly happened.

"You were following bhaiya like everyday then how come you came to know about the bomb?" Vidyut asked Leo and Roger. He had kept a voice recorder in front of them.

"We wouldn't have known if not for that anonymous call." Roger said.

"Anonymous call?" Vidyut asked.

"Yeah, it was just a few minutes earlier from the blast that we received a call from an anonymous number. The person said that Aakarsh Sir's car has a bomb and we must not waste our time to think right or wrong and just rescue him." Roger informed the whole matter.

"Was it a man or a woman?"

"A man!" Leo replied.

"I see, then you guys didn't ask his identity?" Vidyut asked.

"Before we could he disconnected the call. And we didn't want to take risks thinking whether it was right or wrong information. We just called him and asked him to get out of the car as he had already stopped the car by then." Leo said.

"Why did he stop the car?" Vidyut asked, creasing his forehead

"Ah, that's because I had to pick up my dress from the boutique. I asked him to stop there." Diksha informed.

"Yes, and as soon as ma'am stepped out of the car we called him to get out of it immediately, informing that it had a bomb. He left the car and ran but the bomb blasted when he had hardly ran a few metres. That's why he was thrown away due to the shockwave and got injured. We apologise that we could prevent him from getting injured." Roger said, apologetically. They had a feeling that Aakarsh was injured because they failed and couldn't protect him.

"You guys did an excellent job by acting immediately when you received the call. You both saved his life." Mrinal said, appreciating them.

"Exactly. Don't feel low or otherwise. You did your job with utmost sincerity." Vidyut appraised them.

"What happened after that?"

"We took him to our car and gave him water as he was out of breath. After relaxing a bit, Sir asked me to find and bring Diksha ma'am to him. So, I searched and brought her to him, then we informed Mrinal sir about the blast when he called, and drove them here." Roger completed narrating the whole story.

Everybody sighed in relief after listening to the whole matter. They thanked God and the person, who called at the right time, in their mind.

"Now, we need to find who was the person who called them. It's clear by the call that he knew about the blast beforehand. He is a very important link for this investigation. Give the number to me and you both can go. I'll call you if I need to ask anything." Vidyut dismissed them after getting that anonymous number from them.

Everybody started talking about the blast with Diksha sharing her side of story and what heartbreak she felt in those moments.

Listening to her, everybody got emotional and Mayank got up with a serious expression and said something which shocked everyone.

"Anu, Diksha... hum ab yahan aur nahi ruk sakte. (We can't stay here anymore)!"
