She was again looking out from. Balcony at her sister gloomily. She sighed "Rajveer.. " He just hummed while quickly going through his file before leaving "mein aj ghar ja rahi hu... Raat Wahi rukungi". She said looking out.

" Hmm.. " He raised his head from file after realising what she said "kyu? Kya zarurat hai raat ko waha rukne ki" He said not liking the idea of her staying away.

"Baat zarurat ki nahi meri marzi ki hai.. Mujhe didi ke sath rehna hai" She said nonchalantly, looking out from balcony door.

He went near and follows her gaze outside, she was staring at her house where Sunaina was tending flower with a smile, she saw him gazing at her sister.. Her heart burned the way he was looking at her, she was jealous of her own sister. "Tum chaho to..... I mean,... Sunaina can stay here.... Tumhe waha jane ki zarurat nahi hai" He said getting a bit reluctant of sending her away from him.

She was irritated now "mujhe waha jana hai to jana hai,. Meine pucha nahi hai tumse.. Sirf bataya hai, don't try to hold my reins." She said angrily getting away from that place, not liking the way he is trying to control her.

He sighed in defeat "fine, am doing nothing... Ja raha hu mein...aj kal isey meri kahi har bat ka ulta hi karna hai" He picked up his bag and left murmuring "weird mood swings".

Sunaina was combing her hairs while Naina watches her keenly sitting on bed. She indeed looks beautiful, she always knew that her sister is stunning but to this extend she realised that today.

"Aise kya ghoor ghoor ke dekh rahi hai" Sunaina looks at her smiling through mirror wondering what's going inside that crazy brain of hers, she needs to flush it out before this crazy girl can weave weird scenario of it.

"You look beautiful didi" Sunaina was startled, she always use to complement her but today she couldn't make out the meaning behind it, there is some weird vibes she is getting. "You are so perfect.. In everything you do. Anyone can fall easily for you" Ok now this is getting serious.

"Kisi ne tujhse kuch kaha? Koi bakwas chiz dekhi ya padhi.. Jo aisi ajeeb si batein kar rahi hai.. " She turns and looks at her seriously.

She was still lost in her world "agar Ranveer na hota to apki aur Rajveer ki shaadi ho chuki hoti.. You guys would have been happily married".

Sunaina got up from her place and sits in front of her " Kya behki behki bataein kar rahi hai... That jerk said something to you". She was looking ready murder him only if she says yes.

Naina shook her head making her calm a bit "it's just a fact didi... Rajveer choose you not me... He loved you......and I think he still does" She said last in whisper.

"Naina.. " She was shocked

"Koi apse kyu pyaar nahi karega didi" She was almost the verge of crying "apme wo sab qualities hai jo koi bhi ladka apne life partner me dekhta hai...that's what Rajveer saw in you. Everything about you screams perfection, you are everything that I am not.. Apki hi behen hokar mujhme apke jaisi ek bhi quality nahi hai".

She sighs in helplessness "first of all apne dimag se ye baat puri tarah se nikal de that am perfect.. I have my own flaws, everyone has. Dusri baat.. Am glad that you are not like me... " Now sunaina had tears in her eyes "you are very strong Naina... Jo mein nahi hu. Agar tere jitni thodi si bhi himmat mujhme hoti na to chize aaj jaisi hai waisi nahi hoti" She said regretfully while Naina was confused.

"Or rahi baat Rajveer ki" She takes deep breath "we were never meant to be... Hum kabhi saath nahi hote.. Chahe Ranveer hota ya na hota" She can see confidence in her eyes about the fact "Rajveer never loved me" Naina looks at her questioningly "He THINKS that he loved me.. He was just attracted and attraction fades out with time..that's it" She makes her understand stand while giving her milk and medicines.

They lay down on bed after switching off lights. Just moon light coming through the window "school mein me hamesha se disciplined or obedient thi" Sunaina spoke "aur tu uski bilkul opposite.. Rebel" She chuckled "wo back bencher or front bencher types hote hai na.. Hum waise the" Naina to smiled a little for the first time since morning.

"Teachers jaisa kehte mein waisa karti, I realise now i never bunked... Hamesha time se school pahochna, full attendance, apne lessons ready rakhna, always punctual, obeying everyone, never getting into fights... In short meine hamesha dusro ko khush rakhne ki koshish ki.. Kabhi kamyab hui, to kabhi... " She sighs.

"Aur dusri taraf tu.. Meri tufan mail" She looks at her admirably "apne mann ki karne wali... Jo acha laga usey apna liya.. Jo nahi pasand uss se panga lene se pehle ek bar sochna tak nahi.. For chahe wo students ya hamare PT wale Nair sir" They laughed remembering hoe she mixed jamal ghota in his energy drink.. Which drained out his all energy.

"Tune sirf wo kiya jo tujhe acha laga.. Agar kisi ne pyaar se baat ki to usey palko par bitha liya.. Or agar koi panga le to usey uski sahi jagah bina kisi khauf ke dikhayi.. Jaha jati waha apne chulbule pan se sabko apna bana leti.. Sabka mann moh leti.. Sabke chehro par tere ane se khushi ajati.. Aisi hai tu.. Jo khud bhi khush rehti hai aur dusro ko bhi muskurana sikhati hai... " She cups her face "you are the ray of hope when everything seems dark... Never think you are worthless... Because you worth everything. " She kissed her head making her feel light which she did.

"You are gorgeous in your own way... you lived your life on your own conditions and will live like that so on... Do whatever please you, what makes you happy because it makes me happy to see you content.. And that's how I feel beautiful, watching you smile..live for yourself which I couldn't do for myself..." Naina smiled feeling light. That's why they say elder sister is another form of mother, how easily she threw away her Insecurities. She finally slept peacefully hugging her.

She came back home next morning. We enters her room a sweet floral fragrance hits her nostrils. She saw room filled with variant of flowers Which instantly brought smile on her face. The room was changed into bright colors. Curtains were in soft pink colour which was black previously, there were drapes all around bed which was making room look bright.

"Beautiful isn't it? " She nodded brightly looking around, he makes her turn ro look in mirror " So you are" He whispers in her ear from behind "when you smile" She shivered.

He snakes his arms around her waist from behind, hugging "you are beautiful Naina. Never think yourself less from Anyone... Your stubbornness, your anger, your smile, your confidence, your courage..... It makes you different from everyone. It makes you look attractive."

She shivered hearing this. Her eyes brimmed when she remembered when he said that she doesn't worth him and he sensed what she must be thinking now. He sighed "I know I have been a jerk and I regret it badly. But trust me Naina... meine aj tak jo kuch bhi kaha wo sirf... Gusse me kaha tha, apne badle ke pagalpan me dekha hi nahi ki how much I was hurting you" there was regret in his eyes "I never meant anything bad for you. Ye sab me apne bacche ke liye nahi keh raha hu..I mean it sincerely Naina."

She was amazed to hear all this from him. He turns her to himself looking straight in her eyes making her feel weak in knees. "You have no idea how gorgeous you are... " She was dazed at the way he was looking at her... Intense his gaze was. "You are beautiful" His face was coming close to hers.. Their lips inches apart when he paused a bit waiting for any protest from her. She closed her eyes giving no objection he placed his lips on hers. In that moments he instantly felt alive.. As if he is home after years. She clutched the collar of his shirt as his lips moves against hers, kissing her softly and slowly making her feel beautiful.

_________________________

He saw her glowing working keenly in her laptop. He never saw her glow like this... May be it's pregnancy.... Or that kiss they shared early this morning. She was overly chirpy, she hates to enter in kitchen and today she cooked lunch. She was behaving like before the way she used when they just got married.

He wanted to see her happy but never wanted to give her false hope. Hope that can kill her happiness all over again. Hope that she can have a happily ever after with him. Hope that he loves her. He sighed. He just wanted to make her smile, make her realise that she too is beautiful.. That kiss... That was never his intention. It just happened..... By mistake. And she took it as signal that he wants to pursue this marriage. ,

He has no problem in continuing their marriage after all they are having a child together. It will be good for both of them if they stays together but he don't want her to live in delusion. He doesn't want to keep her in dark..not anymore after he already hurted her bad with no fault of hers. He wants to start a fresh with her. He can't love her or anyone. He needs to make her understand that, without hurting. He cannot lie to her anymore... He can't hurt her. She is innocent he understood it late but he did.

Whatever happened between Ranveer and Sunaina, there was no fault of Naina and he badly regret his foul deeds. He can't undo them but he can support her in any way. He made her go through pain which she didn't deserve. If he lets her stay in her delusion then he will be doing the same mistake he did in the past. No, he will not let her weave those dreams which he cannot fulfil.

But do he has that courage to break that happy bubble of hers? He saw her giving him that warm smile. How can he snatch that from her... He is seeing her smile after their anniversary when he brutally broke her, mercilessly crushed her heart, her soul which she layed down at his feets begging for his love. He needs to be careful with his words and actions, not to hurt her again.

"Shiv is that you" Rajveer calls his college mate when he saw him coming out from hospital after he collected Naina's medical report.

"Rajveer.. How are you man, yaha kaise? ". They hugged each other.

"Am perfect, actually Naina" He saw that he was clueless about who Naina is as they were not in touch since few years "my wife.. She is pregnant". He added.

" Wife... And pregnant! Dude.. That's double good news... " He hugs him again "congratulations... Bhabi se kam mila raha hai? " He asks.

"Jab tu chahe... Acha ye bata tu yaha kya kar raha tha.. Hope everything is fine" He asks.

"Dimag ka ilaaj kara raha hu..." Rajveer looks at him starts he chuckles "long story.. Fursat mein bataunga".

" Mere pass time hi time hai.. Chal mera ghar pass hi hai, Naina se bhi mil lio" Rajveer said taking him long.
