"Kya bakwas dekh rahi ho band karo isey" He was about to switch off tv when she screamed damaging his eardrums.

"Don't you dare... Back off, i wanna watch this" She was too much intrigued.

"Dekhna hai to kuch aur dekho, subha se ye sade gale chehre wali horror movies dekh rahi ho.. Bacche par kya asar hoga" he scolds her.

"Fuck you...!" She exclaimed in anger.

He was horrified "Naina...what are you saying, language" he scolds her lightly "bcche par kya asar padega".

She was irked "jab dekho bacha bacha.. Kabhi socha hai agar maa khush nahi rahegi to bacche par kya asar padega.. Maa ko khush rakho.. Baccha apne aap khush rhega"

He sighed in defeat, he has no power left to argue "fine jo karna hai karo, magar raat mein fir darna mat".

"Yeah yeah.. Whatever" She said totally ignoring him. He shook his head and laid down on couch to sleep, mumbling. He remember everytime when they use to watch horror movies, she would watch them with keen interest till the end and then at night she will snuggle into him like baby kitten scared for her life from unexisted ghost living under the bed.

He recalls the last time when they watched horror movie.

It was winters and they just finished watching, Rajveer had to go in study to prepare for early morning meeting while Naina was clinging to him. Like baby kangaroo.

"Naina mein dusre room mein hi to hu.. Kuch nahi hota.. Our house is not haunted for god sake".

"No no no... Mujhe akele nahi rehna bas.. Tum kahi nahi jaoge.. " She was hugging him, while he tried hard to resist her touch already turned on watching a exotic scene from Movie, he need to concentrate for meeting.

"Okay fine.. Mere sath study mein chalo" He said taking her with him.

"Noo.. Mujhe sona hai" She showed her puppy eyes.

He was trying not to melt down "naina you have two options, either follow me or stay here.. " He said exiting from room ignoring his temptation as she follows him like lost kid. While he worked for his presentation, she sits on his lap clinging him and dozed off. He was trying hard to keep his desire at bay which she was unknowingly provoking, griding her hips on his crotch.

He was trying hard to concentrate but whenever his gaze falls on her, he couldn't stop himself from kissing her cheeks or pecking her lips. Finally after an hour his work was completed. He looks at her, she was wearing a tshirt and a loose cotton shorts. He creased her bare legs sensually, her shorts ridden up revealing her panty line. He traced his finger around her bikini line making her wither in sleep.

He smirked thinking that it will do no harm if he plays a little with her after all she annoyed him all day to her hearts content. He rubs her core from above panty earning a low groan from her which satisfied him. He kissed her neck sensually as she turns her face. He latched his mouth on her breast and biting it lightly from above cloth as she moaned in sleep.

He first thought to leave things here but her response ignited the desire to have her right here and now.. He moves his hand inside her panty and foud her core slightly wet much to his pleasure he inserts finger inside her making her moan loudly as she woke up with sensation, she saw him with her drowsy eyes filled with desire.

He kissed her lips while pumping his finger in and out then whispers "I want you.. " All her sleep went away as she nodded with same desire.

He pushed the things away from table and made her lay down on it. He quickly pulls her shorts and lower down along with his. His cock springs out as he palms it stroking twice before entering her in haste. They both growled with sensation as his shaft fills her. Their bodies moving in same rhythm as he thrusts inside her wild.
He lifts her up from waist still inside her and smashed her back against the wall drilling her hard as her legs wrapped around his.

He fell asleep thinking about past but was woken up by her when she shook him, he looks at her in drowsy state. He sighs and sits straight "kya khana hai.." He asked knowing her midnight cravings.

"Mujhe kuch nahi khana... " He quirks his brow at her answer, if not any craving then what does she wants, he was preparing himself "wo.. Tum jaisa mujhe samajhte ho mein waisi nahi hu".

He looks at her in suprise " Tumne ye kehne ke liye mujhe adhi raat ko neend se jagaya" He shook his hear and murmured "" Iske mood swings alag hi hai". He said going back to sleep when she shouted.

"Ruko! Meri baat abhi khatam nahi hui.." He was startled and looks at her with wide eyes "I mean.. Mein tumhari tarah patthar dill nahi hu jiska shauk dusro par zulm karna ho".

" Ohh! " This was all he could say. Still confused at what she actually wants to say.

"Hmm.. Chalo ab chal kar bed par so jao.. " She said going to bed.

"Ohh.. " He dumbly said then realised what just asked him to do "what.. Kya.. Are you sure? "

"Meine bola na.. Am not like you, couch must be uncomfortable, you can sleep here...unlike you, mein apni wajah se dusro ko takleef nahi deti hu" She said not looking at him trying to sound serious.

He was looking at her suspiciously, till yesterday she wasn't even letting him sit beside her and now she is asking him to sleep beside her. Strange. He slowly got up when his gaze fell on tv. Then he realised her strange behavior, horror movie was the reason. He smirked playfully.

He sits beside her on bed and whispers in her ear slowly making her shudder "scared.. Are we? "

She shots him a fearful look "mein.. Dar.. " She gives a nervous laugh "nahi.. Bilkul nahi" She tries to sound confident.

"Hmm.. But Naina seriously mujhe couch par sone mein koi problem nahi.. I can manage" He said playfully, getting up.

"Meine bola na tum yahi bed par so jao.." She was getting hyper perfectly knowing that he is just messing with her.

"Naina relax.. Am fine there.. " he was having fun now.

She stood up getting pissed "mein pregnant hu tum meri baat nahi manoge..jante ho ek pregnant aurat ko tang karne se bacche par galat asar hota hai" She throws her trump card.

He finally gave up and went to sleep on bed without a word, she too sleeps beside him at a safe distance when he caught her from behind making her shriek.

"Ye kya kar rahe ho... Chhodo mujhe dur hato" She shouts "meine ungli kya pakdayi, tumne to hath hi pakad liya.. Ghatiya insaan.. Chhoddoooooo".

" Shhh.. Naina itni zor se mat chillao.. Warna bhoot jag jayega" He teased her making her go calm "bas ab chup chap so jao... Mein hu na.. Koi bhoot pas bhi nahi ayega" He said hugging her from behind.

"Tumse bada aur koi bhoot ho kaha sakta hai" She mumbled in defeat going in slumber. He chuckled, hugging her more tightly, getting lost in her sweet scent after months he fell into a peaceful slumber without even realising it. This is what he was unknowingly craving for months.

__________________________

Naina was standing by the door of balcony in her room, staring outside at her sister who was watering plants early this morning. She was gazing at her at, taking in the every detail of her carefully.

She has long lustrous black hairs reaching till her waist, her eyes are magnificent always sparkling with light and whenever she smiles her dimples adds to her beauty. She had the perfect completion neither pale nor dark.. She was tall just few inches shorter than Rajveer. They would have made a perfect match.

She looks at Rajveer who was in hurry to get ready for an important meeting, running like bunny. If things would have been different, if there wasn't any Ranveer fiasco then her sister would have been in her place, happily married to the man she unfortunately loves. She would have been carrying his child in her womb and he would be caring for her... With love. Which unfortunately isn't in her fate.

She again looks at her sister, who is poised, elegant, smart, beautiful, classy and mature.. Unlike her who is just opposite of her. A Rebel, short tempered, ill-mannered, immature, childish, loud who still behaves like a wild troublesome teenager. No wonder Rajveer chose her sister over her. He fell in love with Sunaina not Naina, who is nothing but a plane jane compared to her sister.

Sunaina is career oriented focused women who is perfect in every role she plays whereas she doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, no future, no career goal, no aim. She doesn't even know what she is gonna do after having this baby? Before marriage she was dependent on her father after that Rajveer then again after being kicked out by him mercilessly she was again at her parents and after pregnancy she is again at his mercy. She felt like football.. Going from this yard to that yard with no fixity.

What will be her situation after this child is born. What her child will think about her after few years.. That his/her mother is a spineless women who couldn't stand up for herself. No, she don't want her child to look down at her. She wants to be an inspiration, so. That her child can proudly say.. That's my Mom. She wants to be better not just for the sake of baby, but for her own dignity and self respect. Didi was right then, she must think about her future.

___________________________

Rajveer finally snapped at her when found her continually sitting in front of laptop for 3 hours straight "do you have any idea how harmful it is... Take a break lady".

" Shut up". She napped going back to her work.

"Atleast bata to do tum kar kya rahi ho... Itni der ho gayi.. Koi web series nahi kai ghisi piti movie nahi.. What the hell are you doing" When she didn't replied he walked near her and saw what she was doing.

"Resume?" He saw her in confusion "tumhe iski kya zarurat? Why are you making it?".

" I need job" She said concentrating.

"Why..? " He was curious.

She was irritated " Why does anyone needs job? To make money! For a living! Tubelight".

"I know that Einstein" She snapped back "tumhe agar paise chahiye to mujhse le lo, I have plenty of that, why do you need a job ... Didn't I give you my credit card? " He asked.

"Exactly that is your card.. Your money not mine.. I need to make my own" She found herself getting busy again.

"Achanak se ye 'I need my own money' ka bhoot kaise chadha hai tumpar". He wanted to know what made her do. So.

" Usey bhoot nahi self dependency kehte hai... I can't rely on you or dad.. Am not a football.. Aj yaha kal waha.. And soon I will have a baby to look after". She saud nonchalantly.

"Self dependent hona acha hai.. Lekin football... What the hell is this" He was highly confused "ye baccha meri bhi zimmedari hai.. I will look after it's need. " He didn't liked the idea of her doing job, he is there to fulfill her needs then why a job? She doesn't need one...she will be treated like a queen. He will not even let her lift a single finger.

"To uthana na.. Meine kab mana kia., magar meri bhi iss bacche ki taraf kuch responsibility hai.. Mujhe isey full fill karna hoga... Kab tak dusro ke bharose baithungi.. Mein nahi chahti mera bacha thinks of me as a looser" She was getting lost in her thoughts.

He got serious "naina" He calls her softly "are you fine? Kisi ne kuch kaha tumse..achanak se kya hua tumhe" He was concerned, this is not that naina he knows, she is carefree and this one is... Well he don't know what to name it. Maybe this the after effect of what he did to her, he thought with guilt. What has he done to this innocent girl.

She sighed and shook her head "nothing.. Bas der se hi sahi.. Kuch chize samjh agayi hai".

"You can always talk to me if anything is bothering you... Ye sab kuch, whatever am earning...hamare bacche ka hai.. You don't need to panick if you are worried about his/her future.. I made sure to secure it" He tried to ease her down...he don't want her to take stress it's not good for her.

She nodded "but I still need to do something for a living.. I... I wants to make my own name... I want myself to be independent". She was desperate.

"You will am sure... You can always work in my company.. " he suggested so he can always keep an eye on her.

"Nahi.. Tumhari company me kaam karke mein apne apko kabhi proof nahi kar paungi.. Jane anjane mein tumhara undue influence rahega... No body will recognise my hard and sincere efforts" She stated a fact to which he silently agreed and admired her guts.

"Why don't you start this job hunt of yours after delivery... Tab tak just take rest.. " He said in concern.

"Nahi.. Abhi se start karungi to delivery tak jakar kuch figure out kar paungi". She said thoughtfully.

"Whatever make sure you just don't exhaust yourself... Waise tum karna kya chahti ho" He asked taking interest.

"Mujhe hamesha se festivals pasand hai.. Lights, colours, food, decorations.. They always fascinates me... That's why I opted for event Management"

"Wow!" He was impressed with her choice.. That's a safe option "then why some event management company.. You can start your own.. " He suggested.

"That needs loads of money" He was about to interrupt when she stopped him knowing what he is gonna suggest "nahi... Mujhe jo karna hai apne aap karna hai.. I don't need your favours" He give up respecting her self esteem. "Already bahot ehsan hai tumhare mujhpar" she said in taunting way which hurts him, but he took them silently, after all....he deserves them.

_____________________

A week later.
"What the hell Naina.. Tum apni company start kar rahi ho or mujhe pata bhi nahi... Itne paise kaha se aye... Kyunki tumne mujhse to liye nahi, you asked your father? Unhe kitna ajeeb laga hoga ki mere hotey huye tumhe unse paise mangne pade when I have loads of them... Kya socha hoga unhone mere barey mein ki mein tumhe financially help nahi kar sakta" He accused her.

"Meine papa se koi paise nahi liye" She said with straight face.

"Nahi liye? Sunaina ne diye?" He suspect.

"Gunny ne diye.. "

His name irked his already sour mood "what the hell... Tumne uss gunny se paise liye lekin mujhse, apne pati se nahi.. Ab tumhari self respect kaha gayi... Kya lagta hain wo tumhara? " The green moster of jealousy kicked in.

"Dost hai wo mera.. He is my best friend. Or mujhe uss se help lene me koi sharam nahi... Waise bhi meine uss se loan lia hai.. " She sits down on couch "wapas lauta dungi with interest".

"Aisa hi tha to mujhse loan le leti.. Uss se lene ki kya zarurat thi.. " He was highly pissed.

"Nahi chahiye tumhari help.. Pata nahi loan ke badle mein kya mang lo..." She looks at him accusingly.

He sits in front of her "mein tumhara pati hu dammit.. Sab kuch yaha tumhara hai.. ". He gritted.

"Pati ka raag gana band karo...wo rishta tut chuka hai ab samjhe" he felt bad at the way she said "Gunny mera best friend hai... " She argued "or waise bhi, he is partner in my company.. So it doesn't matter much" She throws another bomb on him.

"WHAT" He exclaimed loudly as he felt thunders.

"Aram se" She closed her ears "han.. Jab meine Gunny ko bataya to wo nahi chahta tha ki iss halat mein me zyada exertion lu.. Issi liye he suggested to be partner in my company... After delivery when am fine.. I'll manage it on my own". She said making it no big deal.

" Or jab meine kaha tha ki mujhse loan le lo to tumne mana kiya, apni self respect ka hawala dekar. .. Meine kaha Delivery ke bad kam start karna, to tumne kaha tab tak der ho jayegi.. Or when I asked you not to exhaust yourself you stayed mum about it. .. Tab tumhe meri baat samajh nahi ayi.. Lekin usne kaha to tumne sab kuch maan liya.. " He was looking at her accusingly. He was feeling stinging pain from inside. "Great.. " He stood up "just fucking great" He throws his hands in air and left the room angrily....he is not liking the way they are getting close. She is choosing that man over her own husband, it pinched.

"Don't you dare use that tone with me Shekhawat" She shouted. "Idiot.. Uski problem kya hai.. Jab mujhse koi matlab nahi to itna gussa kyu ho raha hai... kis hak se mujhpar hukum chalana chahta hai..Mein jo chahe wo karu jiss se help lu.. isey kya.. " She ws irritated.

A month later
She was designing the first theme of her event contract. It was a reception party, one of her college friend's sister got married, it was her party. She was giving her full dedication and concentration as it can be her breakthrough.

She looks at her friend's wedding picture, she looks stunning as bride. Her sister, Sunaina was also there in that marriage.. She looked gorgeous, no wonder every head is turned towards her be it from the same gender or opposite. She is magnificent.

"Rajveer.. " She calls him while he was watching IPL. He hummed "what if... Things were not tangled as they are now... " He looks at her confusingly.
"What if..... Agar.... Sab theek hota... Agar Ranveer.... I mean... Ye sab itna confusing nahi hota to... "

"Kya kehna chah rahi ho.. " His full concentration was on her.

"What if you married didi.. And not me" He was surprised at her sudden thought "what if Ranveer wali confusing na hoti... You still would have choosen didi.... And not me" She said in whisper.

He was silent and numb, he don't know how to react at this or what to say "and why not... Wo hai hi inti khubsurat" She said with a sad smile looking at her picture "she is perfect isn't she? That's why you fell for her " She looks at him and found him lost.

"Am I not beautiful enough? How it feels like to be loved? You never found me beautiful..haina tumhi ne kaha tha" She looks at him with hurtful eyes. He wanted to say so many things, he wanted to comfort her tell her that she is the most beautiful girl he ever laid his eyes on, it was just his rage, his passion to take revenge made him say that all..he didn't meant a single word but words were not coming out from his mouth.

"Wo.. Naina... I.... " He sighed "mujhe ek call karni hai" He escaped from her burning gaze which was making him hard to breath.

"Is she fine. She is behaving weird.. Always lost.. Looking in mirror... Seems like she is concious... Ajeeb ajeeb batein karti hai" He was talking on phone.

"Don't worry Mr. Shekhawat, she is absolutely fine... And it's normal for her to behave like that.. It happens due to hormonal changes. Usually women's get concious about how they look or if they are gaining weight which is making them look out of order.. You know usual girly concerns " She chuckles. "She will be insecure just treat her right with lots of love.. " He was getting lost at the word Love.

"Don't let her think much, it can harm her mental health. Just make her feel. Special... Wanted. I hope you know what am trying to say.. " He listens what was she saying. He sighed defeatedly, what he has done.... Now there is no going back.
