A few weeks had passed since Sameer received the threatening letter. He had spoken to Sharad about it, which led them to discover that the letter was sent from an unknown and fake address. Since that day Sameer hasn't received any more letters or any communication regarding the matter. But still fear regarding Naina's safety lingered at the back of his mind, which is why, after requesting Sharad, he was able to manage some undercover bodyguards for Naina.

Sameer had lied to Naina about the reason behind his tension. She knew that Sameer had lied to her, but didn't dig it up further as she was sure that Sameer would come around and tell her the actual reason sooner or later.

Right now Sameer was walking towards Naina's cabin. It's been a week since her cabin was inaugurated. He had prepared a cabin right across his. Her cabin was a replica of his cabin, but the color shades were lighter than his. She had a shelf full of books of her interest, near the window which opened to the view of busy roads of Mumbai and the tranquility of the city's sky. Sameer had managed to get a small shelf behind Naina's chair where she had kept the solo pictures of each one of their family.

Through the glass door, he could see Naina sitting with her team leaders and discussing intensively. Sameer finds it amusing how Naina switches herself in a click. At home, she is his caring, loving, clingy, and cute wife. At office, she is practical, mature, calculative, and loving boss of her team. She had personally looked into the set up of kids' room and the study room. She managed to get few online tutors for the kids as well.

Initially, Sameer was worried about how Naina will handle the professional life, will she be able to adjust to the new challenges her role will bring up, would it be too much for her. But she had proved him wrong. Naina handled work and her house perfectly. She had moulded herself completely into a responsible and sensible CPO, just like she had moulded herself as the one and only lady of the Maheshwari Household.

Sameer's thoughts paused, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to find Sreeja looking at him in confusion.

Sreeja: Kya soch rahe ho? Andar jao na.

Sameer: Soch raha tha ki kaise Naina badi asaani se apne role switch kar leti hai. Ghar par Naina kitni soft, loving aur kabhi kabhi bacchi ban jaati hai. Aur office aate hi mature, professional, strict but loving boss ban jaati hai.

Sreeja chuckled and replied: She learnt it from the best. Jaise tum uske Meer se Sameer Maheshwari, ek pal mein ban jaate ho waise hi woh tumhari biwi se CPO ma'am ban jaati hai.

Sameer nodded his head and opened the door. Naina's eyes lifted up to see who has come in, and the seriousness in her eyes quickly changed into love for him and she gave a bright smile to him.

Sameer: Meeting ends here. Kyunki ab aapki CPO ma'am ka appointment aapke CEO sir ke saath hai.

The employees present chuckled and left after nodding their heads. Sameer opened the blinds of the glass door and walked towards Naina, who stood near her table, leaning on it. She wore a black silk blend saree with black three-fourth sleeved blouse with red floral print. Her hair was braided and she wore oxidised jhumka. Her face was devoid of extra makeup.

Naina smiled at her endearing husband and wounded her arm around his waist, once he was near. Sameer wounded his one arm around her shoulder, and began caressing her cheek with his thumb of the other hand.

Naina: Finally aapko mere liye time mil hi gaya, CEO Sir.

Sameer: Mera toh saara time aapka hi hai, CPO Ma'am.

And he kissed the corner of her lips, and gave a small peck on her nude brown painted lips. Naina's cheeks turned light pink and she looked at his shirt collar.

Since the day, Naina has begun coming office, Sameer ensured they either twin or wear contrast color clothes. Today he was wearing all black, twinning with his wife, grabbing the attention of all the employees.

Sameer: Agar tumhari koi aur meeting nahi hai. Toh chale? Aaj ka baaki ka din saath time spend karte hai. Parso Papa aur Dadu aa jayenge. Phir tum office nahi aaogi kuch din tak. Waise hi sirf do din aati ho.

Naina decided to work from the office twice a week, with the exception of important meeting days with the team, as Naina wanted to give equal attention to her house and her work.

Naina gave a smile to him and nodded her head. Being together 24x7, had brought them closer. Naina and Sameer met the professional side of each other in office, and were quite moved by their spouse's this shade, and respected it as well. Both of them decided not to intervene in the respective professional boundaries in front of the employees, but ensured to speak their minds when alone.

Sameer and Naina were about to exit their floor, when Vikrant called Sameer.

Vikrant: I am sorry Sameer, but you have to stay back.

Sameer: What? Kyun?

Vikrant looked apologizedly towards the couple and replied in a defeated voice.

Vikrant: Woh.....Parso jo US ke client aane wale the woh aaj aa rahe hai. Meeting is preponed. We will try to wrap as soon as possible.

Sameer: Kya yaar! Postpone nahi ho sakti woh meeting?

Vikrant pressed his lips in a straight line and shook his head in a No. Sameer sighed in defeat and looked at Naina. Naina patted his arm and gave a small smile.

Naina: It's okay Meer. Aap meeting khatam karke ghar aa jao. Main aapka wait karungi.

Sameer gave a small nod. He asked Vikrant to prepare the necessary things for the meeting.

Sameer: Tum ghar jaake rest karna. Dinner aaj order kar denge. Kuch banana nahi tum.

Naina: Main bana dungi na.

Sameer: Naina!

Naina: Thik hai. Best of luck for the meeting.

Sameer nodded and kissed her forehead, before letting her go in the elevator. He waited till the elevator reached the ground floor and he received a message from the appointed bodyguards of Naina safely reaching the car.

At 5:30 PM, when Sameer reached home, he found Naina in the lawn. She had changed into a simple light yellow cotton kurti with white trousers and her hair left open, flowing with the breeze. She was watering the plants. With a big smile on his face, he ran to her and lifted her in his arms. He twirled Naina in his arms, resulting in letting the water fall on them, from the pipe, and soaking them completely.

Naina: Yeh kya kiya aapne! Hum dono ke kapde bheeg gaye na. Bahar halki halki hawa bhi chal rahi hai, jaldi andar chalke kapde change kar lete warna bemaar pad jayenge.

She held his hand and dragged him inside. Naina was scolding him in a low voice after reaching the room as well. She was busy with her blabbering but Sameer was enjoying it. He had a constant smile on his face listening to her pyaar wali daant, till the time Naina faced him with a fresh pair of clothes for him. Until now, Sameer had seen Naina's soaking clothes from behind. Due to her open hair sticking to her back, he couldn't realize the transparency of her kurta after she got wet. But now, he could see her kurta stuck to her like a second skin. He could see each dip and curvature of her body. His eyes had darkened and a sudden gush of raw desire hit him. Naina had not realised Sameer's changed demeanor till the time she looked into his eyes. Once she saw the raw desire in them, she eyed herself, to realize the state of her appearance.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Mature Content Ahead ⚠️

Before she could do something about it, Sameer was dead close to her and tucked the hair strand sticking to her cheekbone, behind her ear. His warm breath falling on the hem of her wet kurta was sending chills down her spine. And the dry pair of clothes fell near her feet. His fingers traced her face sensuously, and his eyes travelled all over pink and flushed face. With his each feathery touch, Naina's heart thumped in anticipation for his next move. Her hands were itching to touch him but somehow they had no power to do so.

He curled his finger under her chin and with a little tug, lifted her face a bit upwards to find her eyes closed and lips slightly parted. He inched towards her, his warm breath hitting her lips. When a few seconds passed, and still Sameer didn't make a move, Naina opened her eyes. Sameer had a small smirk on his face and inched more close, slightly brushing his lips with her.

Sameer: Abhi se, I want you to keep your eyes open, Jaan! Hmm?

Naina looked at him with puppy eyes and nodded, as if she is under his spell. He captured her lips with his upon receiving her approval. His arms snaked around her, through the slits of her kurta. Naina also wrapped her arm around him, and tugged his shirt from behind, when Sameer barged his tongue inside her mouth.

With their lips fighting for dominance, Sameer walked their entangled bodies to the nearest wall, and pinned her against it. He left her lips with pop noise, and threw away the dupatta from her body. He hungrily attacked on her exposed neck and cleavage. Naina's fingers found their way to his hair and clutched them tightly, but not too tight to hurt him.

Within few seconds, Sameer was found tearing himself off his shirt and unzipping Naina's kurta. He bunched Naina's hair in his one hand and attacked on her lips once again. His other hand roamed around her exposed back, and unhooked her bra hooks. The second Naina's warm fingers ran over his bare chest, Sameer broke the kiss and his body stiffened. Goosebumps erupted all over his neck, and he shut his eyes tightly the very next moment, when Naina placed her both palms flat against his torso. Her warm palms sending their warmth to his cool skin. Naina hadn't touched his bare skin with intimacy yet. Sameer was the one touching her bare skin intimately till now.

Naina ran her tongue over dry lips to wet them, and leaned towards him to press a sloppy kiss against the visible nerve on his neck. She traced feathery kisses over each inch of his neck. He held her arm, letting their desirous eyes meet. The moment froze for them, somehow both of them could tell what's coming in their way. Their eyes expressed their desires, no need of words. They both craved for the same intimacy of each other's bodily warmth. There was enough sexual tension between them since the day 01 of their make out sessions.

Both of them were anticipating the gush of sensations they will feel when each and every inch of their body meet each other. Suddenly, this unholy yet the most anticipated thought of Naina, made her heart flutter and stomach twist. She broke the eye contact with her husband with redder cheeks. Sameer understood the line of her thoughts, and he held her face in his palm.

Sameer: Kya chal raha hai tumhare dimaag mein?

Naina shook her head in denial, as her voice was somewhere lost due to the heated temperature between them. Sameer's eyes roamed down to her half exposed chest, and his fingers reached towards the hemline of her kurta. With a swift tug, he was able to tear the poor piece of cloth apart from his wife's body, revealing the loosened bra of his wife, barely covering her bosoms. A light tug and Naina's bra joined the league of their discarded clothes.

Naina could feel her body set on fire once their naked chest collided with each other. Sameer wrapped his arms around her waist and back, and pulled her further closer to him, not letting a gush of soft breeze to pass through them. Naina's nipples erected to the sensation of her bare skin hitting his cold skin. Sameer kissed all of her soft and melting points, making her legs turn wobbly and a series of loud moan escaped her mouth. Naina scratched his arm and back, prompting him to continue. Sameer licked her nape and behind her ear, after giving sharp and small bite.

Finding Naina's loosening balance, Sameer scooped her in his arms and placed her on the bed. In a blink of second, her lowers were pulled way. Naina's faced burnt in shyness when she realised that she was laying butt naked in front of her husband. He just stood in front of her and his eyes looked at her intently. His eyes dilated with each inch of her body, from her heaving bosoms to down south.

The fact that Sameer was intently drinking the sight of Naina laying naked on their bed, urged Naina to hide her face with the pillow. The butterflies of excitement and anticipation roamed around her stomach. Naina was about pull the nearest pillow, but Sameer hovered over her and stopped her from doing so.

His eyes lingered over the plump lips of his wife, and for a brief moment, he looked deep into her eyes before capturing her lips into a rough and passionate kiss. Naina was unable to match his pace as he was literally eating her mouth. Naina was turning breathlessly, yet she was craving for more. Sameer was sucking the air out of her, and pressed his torso to her soft chest, igniting the fire of sensuality.

He broke the kiss and after a second of pause, he kissed her forehead and looked into her eyes lovingly.

Sameer: Jaan! Tumhe mujhse sharmane ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Main tumhara Meer hun. Sirf tumhara. Main tumse beintehaa mohabbat karta hun aur humesha karta rahunga. I love you meri Jaan!

Naina's heart filled with warmth at his comforting words. She pulled him near to her, and planted a kiss on his upper lip. Sameer giggled and gave soft kisses all over face, before trailing wet open mouth kissed down her throat towards her cleavage. He began with giving wet and open mouth kiss all over her bosoms. His tongue glides over her left nipple and his palm was squeezing her right bosom with his thumb brushing her right nipple. Naina shut her eyes tightly close as a wave of pleasure hit her. She dipped her head more into the mattress and could feel her entire body getting numb.

Sameer's tongue hit the skin of her left bosom smoothly, giving her goosebumps. Sameer bit her left nipple and stretched it a bit before, licking it to soothe the slight burning sensation, which made Naina gasp loudly. Sameer did the same sensual torture with her right bosom.

Sameer held her one thigh and made it rest over his shoulder. Naina widened her eyes in shock when she felt his warm lips lingering over the most sensitive part of her body, her inner thighs. Without giving her a chance to get used to his feathery kisses on her inner thighs, Sameer pressed his lips against her vagina. She jolted in pleasure when his mouth capture her clit. Some weird sensation erupted in her body, which she hadn't experienced before.

He traced his lips along her entrance and a deep moan escaped her mouth. She clenched the bedsheet tightly, when Sameer started shoving his tongue into her. Naina's eyes rolled back into her head as much as possible, with some strange yet familiar fluttering kicked in. Her sensory sent fluttering through her, making her excited and frustrated at the same time. The pleasure she was experiencing was insane! It was consuming her body, mind and soul, she could feel herself fighting to let go of the sensations and things bottled inside her.

Sameer was mumbling something incoherent but also thrusting his tongue in and out of her vagina. The sensation of his tongue made her go crazy. She wanted him to be audible but couldn't say something. She felt an immense pressure down South, which could probably lead her vagina to burst! She arched her hips, for him to suck her clit. When Naina realised what she did in the heat of the moment, she gazed at her husband with shyness and red cheeks. Sameer gave a sly smile to her and his mouth wholly captured her vagina. Making her go insanely crazy.

Sensing her heaving breaths, Sameer asked her to keep taking deep breaths. He pulled her thighs close, bit them softly followed by licking them to soothe the pain. Then he bit her clit, rubbed his tongue over it with a little fast pace, leading her to release the built up pleasuring pressure, out of her womanhood. Naina took a minute to grasp a breath. Sameer gave her a few seconds break, and slowly held her hand. He brought it closer to his groin and pressed it against it. Naina's eyes widened and met his dark orbs, feeling the hardened erection of her husband, under her fingers.

Her throat dried up, and involuntarily she pressed his hardening slightly. Sameer shut his eyes close and a wave of goosebumps again appeared on his body. Naina felt proud of herself, seeing the effect of her touch on her husband. At that point, Naina was certain about her needs.

Sameer let out a deep and gruffy moan when he felt Naina slip her fingers on the button and zip of his trousers, to feel his erection little more closely. Hastily, Sameer removed his trousers and boxer, and climbed on the bed in between her legs. Naina's eyes widened seeing his hardened erection in display. Her mind started thinking how will it fit in? How will her body explode with different sensation once they are doing the deed. Sameer smirked at her facial expressions and leaned towards her, planted a kiss on her lips to grab her attention towards him.

At first he inserted his one finger into her vagina, and slowly inserted one more fingers. Naina squirmed over his fingers and clutched the bedsheet. Sameer latched his mouth on her bosom and sucked on it while simultaneously thrusting his fingers in and out of her soaking wet vagina.

After a few more minutes of pleasuring her, Sameer stood up and pulled out a small box from the pocket of his trousers. Naina's gaze fell on the box and instantly recognized it. Her cheeks flushed seeing her husband holding a box of condoms.

Sameer: Kuch din se lag hi raha tha ki iski zaroorat padegi....dekho pad gayi na aaj.

Naina turned her head away and blushed profusely with closed eyes. Sameer kissed her closed eyes and entire face, before slipping the condom on his thick erection. Naina's heartbeats quickened when she felt him position between her legs. He rubbed the tip of his shaft gently against her opening, before thrusting it into her, in one stroke. Naina's eyes opened widely and a loud gasp left her mouth. She could feel a sudden pain, tears rolled down her eyes. Sameer leaned on her, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss to divert her mind. He didn't move his shaft yet, letting her adjust to the new intrusion.

After a few seconds passed, Naina could feel the pain subsiding, and a gush of pleasure hit her. She slipped her palms towards his butt, and squeezed them a little, giving him a signal to move. He started thrusting in and out slowly, and increased his pace gradually. They could feel their bodies burning in the fire of pleasure and ecstasy. Their room was echoing with the noise of their skin slapping with each other, and the moans of each other's names.

Sameer and Naina looked deep into each other's eyes, each time Sameer was thrusting in and out. With their bodies intertwined with each other, they could feel their love multiplying. Once Sameer started with rough thrusting, Naina couldn't feel anything except for immense pleasure soaring through her body. She moaned loudly, scratched him as much as possible and bit his shoulder. Within a few more seconds, they both reached their climax and Sameer slumped beside her. He stood up and immediately disposed off the used condom, before joining his wife in the bed.

Pulling her on top of him, Sameer wrapped themselves in the blanket and adjusted her face in a manner that he could see it. He planted multiple kisses on her forehead.

Sameer: I love you.

Naina blushed and replied: I love you too.

Both of them were cuddled up to each other in the peaceful silence for few minutes, when Sameer decided to ask the question lingering in his mind.

Sameer: Jaan, tum kisi bhi point pe uncomfortable toh nahi huyi thi na?

Naina's heart swelled in happiness and warmth hearing his question. She shook her head in a No before replying.

Naina: Mere Meer mujhe kabhi uncomfortable nahi feel karwa sakte. Woh humesha mere comfort ka dhyaan rakhte hai.

Sameer gave a beaming smile to her, and held her closer. He weaved his fingers through her hair and gave her a soothing head massage. Within sometime he could hear his wife's soft snores. Sameer chuckled at her cute sleepy face and slowly detached himself. He slipped on his discarded trousers, picked up their discarded damp clothes and put them into the laundry basket, before getting the bathtub ready for his wife to have a warm bath.

Sameer was ordering food for them, when Naina walked to the room wearing a loose tee and pyjamas. Due to the soreness, she was finding it hard to walk. Sameer noticed it and lifted her in arms, and walked out of the room, into the living room.

Sameer: I am sorry Naina! Meri wajah se.....

Naina: Ssshhhh! Aage kuch maat bolna. Bas kuch ghanton ki baat hai phir thik ho jayega. Aap mujhe better feel karwane ke mere liye bathtub ready karke aaye the na, mujhe better feel ho raha hai. So now, no more guilt trip ok?

Sameer nodded and settled his cute wife on his lap. With one arm he was massaging her back and with the other he was scrolling the food delivery app to order food. Naina leaned on her husband and turned on the TV to watch something when her phone rang. It was Vivek. He called to inform that Jaiprakash and him have decided to extend their stay longer. Instead of coming back the next day, they will come back after few more weeks.

Naina pouted sadly at this news as she was missing her father in law and grandfather in law badly. Sameer decided to cheer her up, and hence after kissing her entire face, he stood up and start twirling around, to receive her gasps and giggles.

Next day, Sameer was in the middle of a presentation meeting, physically only as his mind was revolving around his wife. He had asked her not to come to the office today and stay at home, to relax. To which Naina threw little tantrums but then agreed to stay at home and call Akshara over. Sameer badly wanted to run back to his Naina's arms and cuddle with her, till the Sun sets and the Moon lightens the sky.

The meeting was nearing its end, when his phone flashed with a text from an unknown number with an image attachment. He opened it up to dropped the phone immediately, with the colors of his face washed away. Horror filled his eyes and his hands started shaking.

The image was of a knocked out car, which happened to be white in color and a MG Hector. The white car body was coated with smoke and the hood, windshield, and the rear view mirrors crumbled.

There was a note along with the picture, that stated "Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick! Time's Up Maheshwari! It's time to say goodbye to your beautiful wife!"

Sameer's pale face raise concerns in his employees and before they could act, Sameer picked up his phone and ran out of the room. He was continuously dialing Naina's number, his home landline, and the undercover bodyguard assigned for Naina's safety. But neither of them picked up.

His heart was thumping loudly and he could feel something slowly swallowing him, his strength and his confidence. The memories of this morning and all the times he spent with Naina, flashed in front of his eyes. He felt helpless and disoriented. He didn't know who is trying to snatch his lifetime's happiness from him. With shaking hands, he held the steering wheel of his car and started driving aimlessly and trying to reach out to all possible people.

Suddenly his phone flashed the bodyguard's name. Sameer hastily stopped the car at the corner of the road and picked up the phone.

Sameer: Hello! Ajay! Kahan ho tum? Kitni baar phone kar raha hun tumko. Pick kyun nahi kar rahe ho? Naina kahan hai?

Ajay: Sir! Ma'am City Hospital mein hai......

Sameee declined the call without listening to Ajay's complete sentence. He drove as quickly as possible towards City Hospital. With disheveled hair and raging breaths, he ran inside to the receptionist to ask for any lady involved in a recent accident. After getting the whereabouts, he was running towards the said direction, when he saw a familiar figure sitting in the lobby, near private ward. It was Naina! And she looked perfectly fine.

Sameer: Naina!

Naina turned her head towards him and was surprised to see Sameer there, in such a dishevelled state. She stood up to reach him, but he was faster. He engulfed her into a tight hug and pecked her head multiple times. When he looked at her face, it had no bandage or wounds. But there was blood stain on the pallu of her pale blue saree. He scanned her entire body to find any wound or bandage but found none.

Naina: Meer, yeh kya halat bana rakhi hai aapne apni?

Sameer: Woh sab chodo! Mujhe yeh batao ki tum thik toh ho na Jaan?

Naina: Haan main bilkul thik hun. Dekha toh aapne mujhe abhi. Kahin kuch mila?

Sameer: Phir yeh khoon? Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Naina: Akshu ka chota sa accident hogaya hai. Hum dono shopping ke liye aaye the. Akshu humari gaadi ke paas ja rahi thi aur main ATM mein thi. Tabhi ek car ne humari car ko peeche takkar mar di. Akshu chaunk ke peeche huyi toh ek bike se uski takkar hogayi aur woh gir gayi. Uske haath mein aur sarr pe thodi si chot lagi, toh usko yahan le aayi. Yeh khoon uska laga hai. Andar Akshu aur Abhimanyu dono hai.

Par aapko kaise pata chala ki main yahan hun?

Sameer: Woh......woh.....Haan woh humare ek employee ki wife yahan aayi thi. Usne tumhe dekha toh call karwake mujhe inform kiya. Aur main aagaya.

Naina: Oh accha.

Sameer: Tum apna phone kyun nahi utha rahi thi? Maine kitne calls kiye tumhe. Agar phone utha leti toh mujhe tension thodi kam hoti.

Naina: Woh Akshu ko hospital leke aa rahi thi na toh usmein pick nahi kar payi aur yahan aake mere dimaag se utar gaya aapko call back karne.
I am sorry meri wajah se aap itna zyada pareshaan hogaye.

Sameer: Haan pareshaan toh tha. But tumhe kuch nahi hua hai na aur Akshara ko bhi thodi si chot aayi hai toh it's ok. Chalo andar, Akshara se mil lete hai.

Naina nodded and Sameer had taken a step to follow Naina, when someone texted him. It was from the unknown number which had shared the crashed down car's picture.

Kismat acchi thi jo iss baar teri biwi ke jagah uski dost gaadi ke pass thi. Iss baar mera nishaan chuk gaya par agli baar nahi chukega. Abhi ke liye khairaat mein mile akhri ke kuch din jee le apni biwi ke saath. Kyunki bahut jald woh tujhse aur iss duniya se bahut durr jaane wali hai.

Sameer groaned in annoyance and anger after seeing this message. He was both happy and anxious, happy that Naina is safe but anxious as he doesn't know when and where Naina can get attacked.

Sameer: Sharad se baat karni hogi. Zaroorat pade toh dusre raste bhi azmaane padenge. Main itni asaani se kisi random insaan ko mujhe aur meri family ke aas paas aane nahi de sakta.

After meeting Akshara and Abhimanyu, Samaina left the hospital. Sameer was driving the car out of the hospital compound, when Sameer's phone rang and it was Vikrant.

Vikrant: Hi Sameer! Naina mili tumhe?

Sameer: Haan mil gayi. Uski friend ka ek chota sa accident hogaya tha toh uske saath thi.

Vikrant: Oh. Woh thik hai na?

Sameer: Haan haan! She is absolutely fine. Accha Vikrant! Iss week aur next week ke liye mera aur Naina ka schedule clear kar do. Hum dono DND mode pe jaa rahe hai.

Vikrant: Kar toh dunga main Sameer, par kuch important aane se you both have to become available.

Sameer: Until and unless tum aur Sreeja handle na kar pao. Also it's a matter of a few days only! I am pretty sure tum dono handle kar loge!

Vikrant: Ok boss! Enjoy your time off!

After Sameer was off the call, Naina looked at him questioningly. Sameer chuckled and pulled her cheeks.

Sameer: Maine Vikrant ko humara schedule clear karne isliye kaha kyunki hum dono trip pe ja rahe hai.

Naina: Trip? Kahan? Aur aisse achanak se?

Sameer: Sudden trips are the best! Actually main bahut time se soch raha tha ki hum dono kahin bahar jaaye. Abhi time aur mauka dono mil raha hai toh why not!

Naina: Par hum ja kahan rahe hai?

Sameer: Hmm...Daman and Diu kaisa rahega? Beach, caves, forts, monument aur scenic view. Sab hai.

Naina: Haan! Sahi rahega! Kab nikle?

Sameer: Kal subah ko nikalte hai.

Naina: Itni jaldi? Packing bhi karni hai na Meer!

Sameer: Haan toh main hun na. Dono milkar packing kar lenge. Don't fear when your Meer is here.

Naina: Accha!

Sameer: Haan! Waise tumne aur Akshara ne lunch toh kiya tha na?

Naina: Haan, ghar se khake hi nikle the. Aapko pata hai Akshu ko Mummyji aur Dadiji ki space bahut sundar lagi aur meri aur Papaji ka garden bhi.

Sameer: Yeh toh bahut acchi baat hai.

Naina smiled widely and continued talking about all the things the two bestie did today. Sameer was patiently and attentively listening to her, and was mentally thanking God for keeping his wife safe.

After getting freshened up, Naina had expected to see her husband in the room. But he wasn't there. Wrapping her dupatta lazily around her, she descended the stairs to find the living room empty, and a deliciously chocolatey aroma hit her nose. She walked towards the kitchen to find her husband looking sexier in a sleeveless tank top revealing his veiny arms, and a black trouser. He was making hot chocolate for them. Naina's feet took her towards him and she wrapped her arm around him from behind. Sameer's face broke into a big smile sensing his wife, and he held her interlocked palms and brought it closer to his heart.

Naina: Aapke haathon mein jaadu hai Meer!

Sameer: Arre abhi tak toh hot chocolate pee bhi nahi tumne!

Naina: Khushboo se pata chal raha hai ki result ek dum mind blowing hone wala hai.

Sameer chuckled and turned off the gas knob. He turned around and lifted her up to make her sit on the counter top. He kissed her cheeks and pecked her lips, before straining the prepared chocolatey drink into two glasses. He put some mashmellos on her cup and handed to her.

Naina took a sip of it and moaned in delight. She had her eyes closed, and with the smile plastered on her face, Sameer knew that Naina loved the hot chocolate. He wiped the cute brown moustache formed on her upper lip and licked his thumb. Sameer had a grew a habit of doing this as and when he notices something edible stuck to Naina's face.

Naina: I love you more Meer! Yeh world's best hot chocolate hai.

Sameer smiled at her appreciation and was enjoying seeing Naina devour the cup of hot chocolate. Naina's simplicity and innocence has always made Sameer awe her. She gets happy with the tiniest of the things, and can get upset also over a small thing. But she doesn't let it reflect on her face. However, being her husband who's heads over heels for her, Sameer quickly catches her upset mood. He has found ways to cheer her up without making any grand gesture, like bringing her favorite flowers or ice cream, taking her on a drive, going to Marine Drive, having a late night movie marathon or cooking something special for her.

Naina: Meer! Main toh aapko batana hi bhul gayi.

Sameer: Kya?

Naina: Aaj mujhe aur Akshu ko humari ek school friend mili, Himani. Iss mahine uske ghar mangalagaur hai. Usne mujhe aur aapko invite kiya hai.

Sameer: Arre waah! Yeh toh accha hai. Issi bahane mein tumhare kuch aur doston se mil lunga. Tum mere saare doston ne mil chuki ho. Mujhe bhi milna hai.

Naina: Doston se yaad aaya, Swati Bhabhi ne phone kiya tha, woh Munna bhaiya ke birthday liye kuch plan kar rahi hai. Aapko phone try kar rahi thi par shayad aap meeting mein the, toh mujhe bataya aapko batane ki unhe Munna Bhaiya ke bachpan ke kuch pictures chahiye.

Sameer: Haan maine uska message dekha tha. I will send her and thank you for reminding sweetheart.

He pecked her lips and took the cup from her and started washing it. Naina adored her husband helping her in household chores. Initially, Naina resisted Sameer from doing any household chores. But Sameer shut her up by saying Ghar dono ka hai toh kaam bhi dono karenge. Issi bahane mujhe meri jaan ke saath kuch aur waqt mil jaata hai. Since then, Naina has stopped denying him from doing household chores.

Sameer was a man very different from the men she has grown up seeing. Even though her father, uncles and brother respect and love their wives very much, there has always been an unsaid rule in the Agrawal household that Men can't step into the kitchen for cooking or cleaning. Neither will they lift a glass of water to keep it in the sink. Yes, there were few exceptions when Rakesh stepped into the kitchen for baking cakes for Naina. But other than that, he has never touched anything in the kitchen. But in Maheshwari Mansion, whenever Naina gets her periods, the three men and Ramdhari take up to themselves to make the three meals of the day and help Naina in doing most of her chores. Like Vivek would water all the plants, Jaiprakash would do the puja and Sameer would do the dishes.

Watching Sameer clean the kitchen and chop the vegetables skilfully, Naina's heart swelled. She jumped off the slab and hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his torso. Sameer held her palms and kissed the tip of fingers.

Naina: I love you so much Meer.

Sameer: I love you too meri jaan.

Naina: Aap kitne acche ho! Main bahut lucky hun jo aap mere husband ho, aur Papaji Dadaji mere sasur aur dadasasur hai.

Sameer chuckled and pulled her in front of him. He tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead and cheeks.

Sameer: Lucky hum hai jo tum iss ghar ki laxmi banke aayi ho. Tumhare aane ke baad maine unn dono mein bhi changes notice ki hai. Woh dono tumse bahut pyaar karte hai. Mujhse bhi zyada. And I am not complaining.

Naina: Pata hai, kabhi kabhi darr lagta hai kahin koi humari iss happy family ki happiness chinh na le.

Sameer's thought immediately went towards the faceless threats and the image of the crumbled car. The fear lingering around Naina and his family has started to make him anxious day and night. Right after the nameless letter, Sameer had sent few undercover bodyguards for Vivek, Jaiprakash and the Agrawal family as well.

Sameer held her face and kept it on his torso, he weaved his fingers across her hair and with the other arm held her closer.

Sameer: Jab tak main zinda hun, humari family ko kuch nahi hoga. I promise!

Naina snuggled up to his torso and nodded her head. She knew something was troubling him, and was feeling quite frustrated because he wasn't sharing it with her. She was adamant to know about it after they are back from their trip.

Sameer had sent off Naina to their room to do the packing while he will make the dinner. When he came to their room with a plate of food for them, he witnessed the disasterous state of it. Their bed was hidden behind the piles of clothes, on top of the sofa laid their shoe boxes and Naina's jewelry boxes, and Naina was pacing to and fro between the opened empty suitcase and the center table. Her hair was messed up, dupatta tied around her waist and a pen behind her ear.

Sameer: Naina! Yeh kya haal banaaya hai tumne apna aur room ka.

Naina: Aap bahut bure ho! Itne short notice mein koun trip plan karta hai. Mujhe samjh hi nahi aa raha hai kya pack karun aur kya nahi.

Sameer chuckled and walked towards the sidetable near the small bookshelf in their room. He kept the plate their and made some space on the bed. He signaled Naina to come and sit on the clear spot. He made a morsel of the roti sabji and forwarded it in front of her mouth. Naina shook her head in denial but Sameer didn't move. He kept standing with the morsel, Naina sighed in defeat and took the bite.

Naina: Mujhe bhookh nahi hai Meer. Aap kha lo. Main kaam khatam karke khaungi.

Sameer: Panick karne aur headless chicken ki tarah yahan se wahan bhagne ke liye bhi energy chahiye. Woh energy khana khane se milegi. Main khilate jaata hun tum apna energy loss karti jao.

Naina squinted her eyes and looked at him accusingly.

Naina: Aap mera mazaak udaa rahe hai?

Sameer: Haaw! Meri itni zurrat kahan ki main aapka mazak uda sakun Mrs. Maheshwari Ji.

Naina smacked his hand lightly and said: Aap phir mera mazak uda rahe hai. Main itni stress mein hun aur aapko mazak sujh raha hai.

Sameer gave another morsel to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He gave a smile to her before replying to his wife's cute whining.

Sameer: Naina! Main hun na help karne. Chill karo.

Naina: Kaise chill karun? Kitna kuch pack karna hai. Hum ek nayi jagah ja rahe hai. Agar miss hogaya toh?

Sameer: Sssshhh! Agar kuch miss hota bhi hai toh hum kharid lenge na Jaan. Jungle thodi ja rahe hai hum jo kuch nahi milega.

Naina: Parrr

Sameer: Ssshhh! Tum bas abhi khana enjoy karo. Tumhare pati ne apne haathon se khana banaya hai, tumhe apne haathon se khila bhi raha, iss moment ko enjoy karne ke bajaye tum packing ka stress le rahi ho. Not fair!

Naina giggled with her puffed cheeks due to food inside her mouth, and pulled his cheeks.

Naina: Khana bahut tasty bana hai! Agar aap businessman nahi hote toh aaram se apna restaurant khol sakte.

Sameer: Sach?

Naina: Much!

Sameer smiled and continued feeding Naina and eating himself, with their lighthearted conversations.
