I returned back in my room thinking to irritate her in the morning... Set the alarm for 6 am and landed on bed... I was feeling much peaceful... And I never knew sleep would ever come to me that soon...

....................................

I woke up as I heard the alarm ringing... After freshening up I started searching for the worst tie I ever had which would never be easily put on coz of its silky nature !! And I had to choose it since it was HER who would make me wear it !!! I put the tie on bed.

Unusually I sat on chair looking at the clock... I was waiting for 8 to turn... And soon it was 8...since I did not get the coffee, I was about to shout calling NAINA... Just then I heard a knock on door and I was 100% sure it was her !!

I sat on chair crossing my​ legs and asked to get in... I, in order to show attitude, looked away... I wanted to hear her calling me "Karan"...

'Sir...'

I was shocked to hear maid's voice where I was expecting Naina !! I was angry and disappointed same time !! (Really... I was never a person to get angry so soon !! Still I was !! ;) )

'Who told you to make it ? I asked Naina !! Where the hell is she ?'

Maid was startled seeing me angry !!

'Sir... Actually...she only made it... And asked me to give it when it's​ 8...And she asked me to handover this paper to you'

I took the paper from her...and she left.

"Mr.Karan, in order to reach the ​office before you reach I've to leave for office early !! So I've made the coffee and this aunty who is giving you this paper will give it to you on sharp 8 !! I'm sorry I've to obey your all RULES !!"

How dared she ?!! She was acting smart !! I decided to drive for office so fast that I'll reach there before she does !! I had the coffee since SHE MADE IT FOR ME... And left for office... I drove through shortcuts and finally reached my office !! I rushed towards my cabin just to see it locked !!

And it did look like my plan was backfiring... Cause she had the key with her and she didn't reach too... I stood there like a post waiting for her...

After few minutes she reached and I was about to shout at her for OUTSMARTING (yes,she was outsmarting me...) me and reaching late... But she pointed her finger towards clock...it was only 8.45 !! I lost another chance...in fact I became a fool !! 

But my ego never let me keep calm... So I tried taunting her !! She was opening the door and getting in...

'I asked YOU to make coffee for me, not the maid !!'

'Exactly !! You asked me to make it not to serve it !!'

I was irritated. I held her wrist tightly and turned her towards me...

'Don't play smart...ok? If I asked you to make coffee it should be you who should serve it,too !! You got it ?'

She just nodded and that's when I knew my tight grip on her wrist was causing pain to her... So I left her...

'And someone left early but still they reached late !! Cause after all that one was coming by bus!!' I said sarcastically.

'Mr.Karan !! I wasn't ​late !! I reached before 9 itself... It was you who reached early !!'

This was the thing I liked the most about her...she never gave in so soon !!

'Whatever !!' I turned to move towards my table...but...

'And some people travel in their own car and they think themselves smart !! I bet they can't even imagine about getting​ inside a public bus!!' She was smirking !!

She was challenging me !! I was never ready to give up challenges!! (Even after "the slap event"!! ;) )

'Challenging ME ?!!! Tonight I'll return home in a bus !! You should wait and see !!' I said smirking back...

She nodded her head with a smile as it was impossible for me to do it !!

That's when I remembered she didn't helped me with the tie... And I wasn't wearing it too... I started walking towards her... she looked at me like what... I pointed my finger towards my collars...

'Ohh!! Wait a minute...' She turned to open her bag and took a tie out !! I looked on shocked and surprised since it was one of my ties !!

'How did you get this?'

'I asked the maid last night itself... And she gave me this!!'

I was about to say something but she interrupted me saying...

'...and, in that paper...I mean...the rule was about helping you with the tie... It didn't mention that I should do it in home itself !! And,yeah...now I know you are going to say it should be done there... And I'll do it there only from tomorrow onwards...'

'Great !!'

I must say she got to understand me that much... I was thinking to speak these things only !! And once again my plan flopped as she brought a normal tie which will make it easy for her !!But I decided to not let her finish it so easily...

SHE CAME CLOSE TO ME... And started making me wear it... I stared at her since it was FIRST TIME she herself standing so close to me and how can I even miss to stare her BEAUTIFUL face !! But she was so concentrated on my tie... (Otherwise I would have got another slap !!    ;(  )

Her hair strands were coming in front of her eyes which was a little bit irritating her... Since it was only MY RIGHT to irritate her I put her hair strands behind her ear and she looked at me...

'What are you looking at ?! Make it faster...' I said as if I wasn't looking at her !!

She again looked at tie and done with it so soon!! I never wanted to make it that easy for her so when she turned to go I myself tightened the tie and started coughing !!

'Is this how people wear tie?!! Are you trying to kill me...?!!' I asked coughing.

She was concerned and immediately untied it and gave me water... I was astonished to see her caring for the same me who was irritating her !!

After that she again started with tie... And I got another chance to admire her beauty !!!That time she made sure it wasn't tight !!

Just then Ajay came at the door and started coughing seeing us that close !! We both were embarrassed !! And she immediately left towards her table... I asked him to say... He informed me about some meetings, which were decided to be conducted​ that day,  getting postponed and left my cabin...

I sat on my chair working...but I never forgot to irritate her... She was going on helping me with my phone calls and all... All those while she was irritated too...

Whole day went like that... And it was about 7 when we were leaving for home... As I had told her earlier I went towards the BUS STOP for the FIRST TIME, in my whole life !! She was smiling mischievously !! Maybe she was thinking I won't be able to enter a public bus !!

Just then came the bus... And I was shocked to see people standing even on the doorsteps!! But I didn't show anything on my face... Some of the passengers were coming out... So I sighed and got in... She got in too...

When the bus stared to move I saw a guy, one of the passengers, trying to lean on Naina, Naina was very uncomfortable and she was trying to  push him away with her elbow... I got angry... I pushed that guy away and stood right behind Naina... And I saw her relieved through the side mirror of bus...

Her hairs were flying in air and since I was the one behind her her hair strands started tickling me on my face... I was irritated at first... But when I saw her beautiful face in mirror I stood there quiet... Her hair was tickling so much as it started to brush over my beard...I was enjoying the moment...

That's when I noticed another face next to me... I turned to look what was he doing that close to me and found her hairs on his face too... I was angered like hell...

'Girls should not have this long hair !!' I murmured grinding​ my teeth being angry... She heard it and thought I was telling so cause I was irritated with her hair on my face... She immediately put all of her hair to front... That's when I saw she was wearing a backless top !!! When I turned right I found that guy,who was troubling her earlier, looking at her back... And some other guys were​ there to capture everything on phone !!! Seriously !! What were they thinking of themselves ??! 

I turned towards Naina and pulled her hair and covered her back... She looked at me annoyed and again pulled her hair towards front... And her bare back was visible again !! Maybe she was thinking I was trying to irritate her,there too... I twisted her arm and she looked on annoyed at me like what the hell was I doing... I made her hand touch her bare back !!

She got to know that I was trying to cover her bare back... But what she did next amused me !!! She looked at me as if she doesn't care and turned towards front !!!

What the hell !! She wasn't bothering about what was going on behind her ??!! I turned her around and she was shocked to see my act !! But soon she saw those guys including the one who troubled her... And she was very much embarrassed then !! 

She was nervous and helpless too since she thought I was irritated with her hair on my face and hence can't put her hair covering her back but she didn't want those guys to stare at her back too !!

I UNDERSTOOD what was bothering HER... So I moved so close to her to cover her back, still keeping a distance so that I didn't touch her !! And I could see her looking at me thankfully through the mirror... I looked out through the window so that she can stand there comfortable...And cause of our closeness some of her smaller hair stands were tickling me again... And I just stood there, enjoying the cute irritation,looking out through the window...And I could sense HER LOOKING AT ME through​ the mirror !!!

WE were standing like that, people were talking about random stuff and the bus was moving too... that's when my phone started ringing... Cause of the noice inside the bus I decided to put it on loudspeaker...

'Hello...?'

"Tujh mein khoya rahoon main...

  Mujh mein khoyi rahe tu...

  Khud ko doond lenge phir kabhi...

  To set this song as your caller ringtone press 1..."

I immediately cut the call... And both of us were embarrassed again... I turned around to see if anyone got to know what happened just then!!

And to my surprise all were done with their continuous chatting and were staring US as if we were aliens !! We were more embarrassed... I had an urge to break my phone till it become thousand peaces but I controlled and decided to change my sim card soon !! Ugh... irritating phone calls !!

After about two stops almost half of the rush left the bus and there were three seats empty, two together and behind that one with an old man on the other side !! Naina sat on one of two together and made space for me...

But I chose to sit with old man !! She rolled her eyes at me as she was expecting me to sit with her and exactly that was why I chose to sit behind !! And the old man was looking at me with widened eyes !! Maybe he was thinking why I didn't sit with Naina when I could stand so close to her !! Poor uncle!! He was unaware of many things !!

When the bus stopped at another stop one man got in and he was about to sit BESIDE NAINA... I signed him to look above where it was written, the seat was reserved for ladies... And rest all passengers were looking at me only, including Naina !! I didn't know that they were this much interested to put their nose in​ my​ business !!

'This seat is reserved for ladies..'

'But here no lady is standing... infact no one is standing now...not even a man...' He said being cool and was about to sit beside Naina... 

I immideately got up from my seat and asked him to sit there... He was confused, yet he sat down there next to old man who was giggling at me thinking why I didn't sit with Naina earlier !! And Naina was smirking at me,too...she adjusted herself and made space for me !!!

But I wasn't planning to sit... I stood right beside the empty seat !! And Naina was looking at me like "you're impossible !!" I ignored her and looked out through the window!!

I could hear the man sitting with old man telling,

'Weirdo !!! He was asking me to sit in his place and  now he's standing there leaving an empty seat!!'

The old man joined,

'Yeah!! He's indeed a weirdo !! Actually that girl came with him only !! Don't know what his problem is!! Maybe there's some fight between them !!'

I was shocked...I turned to look at them (they were looking at me with strange expressions) and then looked at Naina... It looked like she heard their conversation too... She was giggling looking out through the window !!!

After 2 or 3 stops bus reached our place and we got out of the bus... We walked to home silently... After reaching home I went to freshen up and then left towards Naina's room since she didn't like to eat alone !!

After dinner I gave her the same file which I made her read last night and was left incomplete... She started reading it, though she wasn't happy with my act of irritating her... But I must say she wasn't  that much irritated too when compared to last night...(Maybe the bus journey made her change a little !!! ;) )

Besides I was not listening to what she was reading... I utilized the time for staring her... In between I got to remember the bus incidents... And face of that guy who leaned on Naina came in front of my eyes and the one who stood close to me, who was more than willing to get ​tickled with her hair too... And I also remembered the guys with "camera eyes" capturing everything on their phone... I realized this was how she was travelling in bus... I got annoyed​,disturbed and concerned at same time...

'You will leave for office in my car,from tomorrow onwards...' I said getting up from the chair.

She looked at me in shock...she got to know I wasn't listening to what she was reading...cause she didn't stop reading yet and I was speaking something noway related to it !!!

'No... I'll go by bus only !!' She was stubborn... I got angry... And she got frightened seeing my face as she got to know I was angry !!

'I mean.... I... I... already took permission from aunty that I'll go by bus so...'

'Just shut up... Don't try to become my boss... You are my P.A. So listen to me... If once I said you are going​ in my car, it's final !!! You got it ?!!' I asked punching the table with both my hands and leaning towards her, who was sitting on chair at opposite side of the table... She was more frightened by then and was looking at me like why do you care... That's when I myself asked why was I overreacting !!

I stood straight looking towards the door.

'Dev and Maasi maa want me to make sure you are safe... And now I myself saw how safe you are when you are traveling in bus !! So I can't be irresponsible towards a thing I'm asked to do...' I sighed, as I knew it wasn't the real reason why I asked her to come with me !! I REALLY CARED FOR HER !! I just didn't want to admit !!

'So you are coming with me from tomorrow...' I said taking the file from her hand...She just nodded positively... I knew I was flopping my plan again by asking her to come with me... But NOTHING was IMPORTANT FOR ME THAN HER SAFETY !! 

'Karan...,'

I was leaving when I heard her CALLING me by MY NAME for FIRST TIME... And I felt my name was more beautiful when I heard it in her sweet voice... I felt good to hear her calling me... I turned to see her beautiful face to know what she wanted to say...
