Arrayed herself in a blue silk saree Sanyukta looked at her image in the mirror and blushed a little.

"Baby papa ko yeh pasand toh aayega na!" She said nervously caressing her belly when she felt a kick there.

"Aauchh!" She shrieked holding her belly and smiled next.

"Aap na bahut naughty ho gaye ho, bilkul papa ki tarha." She said when caressing her belly lovingly.

"You know what baby aaj na maine papa ko bahut hurt kiya tha so am deciding that am going to say sorry to him in a different way. Wo maan toh jayenge na!" She was talking to herself when she heard a knock at the door and opened it.

"Aare wah kiska murder karne ka irada hain!" Parth said playfully raising his brows thus Sanyukta smiled.

"Parth main thik thak toh laag rahi hu na?" Sanyukta asked nervously.

"Thik thak! Aare mind blowing laag rahi ho. And this blue is Randhir's favourite. Wo toh tumhe dekhta hi rahe jayega." Parth said when Sanyukta blushed a little.

"Aab chale?" He asked thus she nodded positively. After taking the permission from Renuka they came out when Sanyukta plucked a pink rose from the garden.

"Mere liye, thank you." Parth said playfully when Sanyukta nodded a no.

"Nehi yeh Randhir ke liye." She said shyly when Parth rolled his eyes.

"Keya baat hain propose karne ka irada hain keya! Toh phir pehele batana chahiye tha na hum kisi romantic jagah par jate jaha par tum dono ko puri privacy milti." Parth said teasingly when Sanyukta blushed a little.

"Nehi propose nehi par maine yeh socha hain ke main aaj Randhir ko yeh batayungi that he is special for me and I like him." She said shyly when Parth whistling.

"Like means?" Parth asked teasingly when Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"Nehi jaise love ka bahut saare form hote hain waise hi like ka vi hote hain. Example, you like me as a friend so keya Randhir ko vi as a friend like karti ho?" He asked curiously when she nodded a no.

"A special one." Sanyukta said slowly. "Main pahele Randhir ko as a friend like karti thi but aab wo mere liye dost se kuch jyada ho chuka hain. I started liking him more than a friend." She said shyly when Parth smiled.

"Ohh ho more than a friend, that means boyfriend, beloved, mehbub, priyatam aur keya keya bolte hain!" He said teasingly when Sanyukta flushed.

"No it's not like that, I don't love him just like him." She said slowly.

"Haan haan you don't love him you just do care for him, you just feel for him, you just over protective for him, you just possessive for him and you just like him, hain na!" Parth said mockingly when Sanyukta turned totally red.

"Waise achchha hain shaadi ke baad vi tum dono ko ek boyfriend-girlfriend ki tarha ek dusre ke saath time spend karne ko mill raha hain. Pahele dushmani, phir dosti, phir dost se badkar thoda jyada aur phir finally pyar. Aare tum dono ki story toh kisi film se kam nehi hain. Romeo and Juliet ki modern version toh tum dono ho." Parth said teasingly when Sanyukta smiled shyly.

"Now am deciding ke am going to do an arrange marriage, phir tum dono ki tarha aapne biwi se hi pehele friendship, phir liking and finally pyar karunga." He said thoughtfully when Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"Uske liye pehele shaadi toh karo. Waise wo ladki bahut lucky hogi jiski shaadi tumse hogi." She said with a smile.

"So toh hain but I must say ke tum dono vi bahut lucky ho. Kyu ki aagar by chance Randhir ko kisi aur se pyar ho jata toh phir tumhara patta toh kaat jata na." He said teasingly when Sanyukta's eyes burnt.

"Aagar aaisa hota toh phir jaan le leti uski main." Sanyukta said furiously when Parth gulped hard.

"God bahut garmi hain aaj toh, temperature kuch jyada hi hain chalo chalo hum chalte hain." Parth said playfully when Sanyukta's eyes became soften and she went towards the car.

"Aaj Randhir ne Sanyukta ko thoda sa ignore keya kiya Sanyukta itna bechain ho gayi! Aur itna hi nehi use yeh vi feel huya that Randhir is special for her. Aagar Sanyukta ki dil ko ek chhoti si baat se itna bada dhakka laga aur usne Randhir ko 'like you' bolne ka decision le liya toh phir Randhir ko khone ke darr se uski dil ko kitna dhakka lagega? Shayed usse Randhir ke liye aapne pyar ka ehsaas vi ho jaye aur wo aaise hi bhage usse I love you bolne ke liye!" Parth said in mind. 

"Parth you are a genius." Parth said tapping own shoulder. "Aare solution toh mere aankhon ke samne hi tha main hi samajh nehi paya. Now I have to push Sanyukta that extend where she realise her love for Randhir and then the game will come to it's end." He smiled naughtily.

"Badi mom aapne jo responsibility mujhe diya tha wo almost pura ho geya hain, aab inki gadi jaldi hi track par aane wali hain. Be ready for the good news soon." Parth said happily and they left next.

                              * * * * * * * * *

As the lunch time arrived Randhir came out from his cubical. He was about to go when he bumped with Roja.

"Sorry sorry, maine dekha nehi." Roja said quickly and about to go when Randhir stopped her.

"Wait, kaha jaa rahi ho wo vi itni jaldi mein? Cafeteria toh uss taraf hain!" Randhir asked confusingly.

"Wo ek friend se milne." Roja lied as she doesn't want to revel the truth in front of him.

"Ohh boyfriend!" Randhir smirked at her.

"Only friend." Roja replied irritatingly. "Waise tum kaha jaa rahe ho?" She asked saw the car keys at his hand.

"Lunch date par that to with Sanyukta." He grinned at her when Roja became shocked to listening this.

"But tum dono ka toh jhagda huya tha na, phir?" She asked confusingly.

"You know what Roja you are right main ek number ka idiot aur duffer hu. Jab mujhe pata hain ki Sanyukta mera kitna care karti hain, mujhse kitna pyar karti hain toh phir mujhe keya jarurat hain use force karne ki wo vi ek mamuli si confession ke liye?" He said thoughtfully.

"Chalo at least tumne yeh toh maan liya that you are a donkey and monkey too." She said mockingly when he rolled his eyes.

"Maine yeh kab bola?" He asked confusingly.

"Aaj tumne jo vi kand kiya uske baad kuch bolne ki jarurat hain? Am telling you Randhir tumhara yehi gussa, yehi insecurities ekdin tumhe le dubegi. Saath saath tumhare aur Sanyukta ke iss khubsoorat rishte ko vi na le dube mujhe bass usi baat ka darr hain." She said sternly when he made a face.

"Okay move, I have to go." She said in hurry.

"Kaha jana hain bolo main chhod deta hu." He said genuinely.

"It's okay, city centre jaa rahi hu I can manage." She replied when he smiled.

"City center that's great, Sanyukta ne vi mujhe wohi par bulaya hain. Let's go." He said when Roja's eyes became widened.

"Ohh no Sanyukta vi wohi par aane wali hain toh phir main sir se baat kaise karungi!" She said under her breath when Randhir pulled her along with him.

                            * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta and Parth came to the city centre and was roaming there aimlessly when Sanyukta's eyes fall on a beauty parlour. Full body waxing. 50% discount.

"Wow discount chal raha tha wo vi 50% ki! Kash ke main iss offer ko utilise kar pati!" Sanyukta sighed hard.

"Koi discount nehi hain madam, aandar jake dekho koi hidden clause jarur hoga! Koi vi business person aapne faide ke bina kabhi kisiko discount nehi deta." Parth shrugged his shoulders.

"Still jitna vi discount mile bura keya hain!" Sanyukta said looking at the advertisement. Just then her phone buzzed with Randhir's number she about to take it when Parth take that on her behalf.

"Haan pahuch gaye hain, tu wahi ruk hum aate hain." Parth said and cut the call.

"Use aandar bula lete na hum kyu bahar jaa rahe hain?" She asked confusingly.

"Jarurat hain madam, tum dono ko thoda sa privacy dena farz hain mera. Am sure Randhir is cursing me right now ke main kabab mein haddi ban kar haar jagah pahuch jata hu!" Parth said playfully when Sanyukta laughed.

"Nehi Randhir aaisa nehi hain." She said proudly.

"Tumhare mamle mein wo aaisa hi hain." Parth replied and they went outside.

"Salle iss kabab mein haddi ko vi saath mein aana tha! Socha Sanyukta ke saath thoda quality time spend karunga but yeh toh LIC agent ki tarha piche hi padh geya! Zindegi ke saath vi zindegi ke baad vi, no privacy at all. Am sure swarg mein vi picha nehi chhodega yeh Parth!" Randhir said annoyingly.

"Keya bad bad kar rahe ho?" Roja asked shockingly.

"Aur keya wo mere life ka back gear vi saath mein aaya hain, Parth! Humesha Sanyukta ke saath chipka huya rehta hain jaisi gud ki upor makkhi! Aare husband-wife ki koi privacy hain ke nehi!" He said annoyingly.

"Waise use kaise pata hoga, bachelor jo hain!" He said mockingly when Roja rolled her eyes.

"Told you, your insecurities will finish you someday. Tum khud aapne hi dushman ho." She said irritatingly.

"You know what you also can't understand, single ho na!" He taunted her thus she twisted her lips.

"Aagar itna hi problem hain toh phir Sanyukta ko leke kahi aur chale jau date ke liye." She said purposely.

"Wo keya hain na meri darling wife nehi jayegi, you know morals and values. Saath saath aaye hain toh phir saath saath hi jayenge. Yehi answer hoga uska." Randhir let out his frustration.

"Kamal hain kitni achchhe se jante ho tum Sanyukta ko phir vi use misjudged karte ho!" Roja said surprisingly. Randhir was about to say something when his eyes fall on someone and he froze next.

Sanyukta was coming taking slow steps towards him. The royal blue saare was given complement to her complexion perfectly. Randhir looked at her angelic face which was glowing and she hold that charming smile on her lips which is the reason behind his life. His lips automatically curved into a  smile. But as soon as he witnessed her moist eyes his smile vanished. He remembered how he avoided her in the morning and felt guilty.

Other hand Sanyukta came to the parking and saw Randhir there. Suddenly she felt nervous to face him but take slow steps towards him after gathering some courage. She looked at him when noticed him staring at her lovingly. She blushed a little find his gaze on her when the morning incident came in her mind. She remembered how she ignored him in the morning and he left without having his breakfast. She felt guilty and her eyes became moist.

She came to Randhir and stood in front of him. They were staring at each other without a blink. There were so many unsaid words in their eyes which they are dieing to say each other but can't. They only looking into each other's eyes when there were two another pair of eyes fixed on them curiously.

"Now you can kiss the bride." Roja said suddenly thus they came back to their senses.

"What?" Randhir looked at her confusingly.

"Nehi jaise tum dono ek dusre ko dekh rahe thay church mein couple ek dusre ko waise hi dekhte hain before the groom kiss the bride. Toh socha maybe you both are wanted the same." Roja said teasingly when Sanyukta flushed and Randhir became embarrassed.

"Jyada socho mat okay! Aur tune hume yeha par wait karne ke liye kyu bola?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Wo Sanyukta ko tujhse private mein kuch kahena tha toh socha tujhe thoda privacy de du!" Parth said teasingly.

"Aagar itna hi fikar hain privacy ki toh phir ghar mein rahena tha na!" Randhir said teasingly when Parth gave an 'I told you' look to Sanyukta.

"Aare main Sanyukta ko aakele kaise chhod sakta hu, she is my responsibility given by badi mom." Parth said widening his eyes when Randhir rolled his eyes.

"Thank you very much but aab tune aapna responsibility mujhe hand over kar diya na so can you please leave?" Randhir asked irritatingly.

"Yeah sure, sir hum bahar wait karte hain na, innko privacy chahiye hoga." Roja said purposely.

"Aare privacy ke liye hume bahar jane ki jarurat nehi hain you guys can carry on inside the car." Parth said pointing towards his car when Randhir became shocked.

"What car?" Randhir asked shockingly.

"Haan achchhi jagah hain na romance ke liye, bheed mein vi full privacy milega." Parth grinned at him.

"Shut up and get lost, toh hume automatically privacy mill jayegi, okay." Randhir said feeling awkward.

"Wo main nehi kar sakta, badi mom ne kaha hain Sanyukta ko chhod kar kahi mat jana and you know how much am fond of badi mom!" Parth said teasingly.

"Isski toh, mann karta hain ke do punch maru! Subha isiki wajah se hi maine Sanyukta ko hurt kiya tha!" Randhir cursed him under his breath.

"Okay toh phir mat jaa wohi ruk but as an invisible man. Mujhe koi disturbance nehi chahiye samjha!" He threatened him when Parth nodded positively.

"Sir bahar chalte hain na, they need some privacy." Roja said hesitatingly.

"Nehi innhe parking mein aakele nehi chhod sakta, it's an empty place aur pata nehi kaise kaise log aate honge. Safety comes first." Parth said when Roja nodded positively.

"Tum batao keya important baat karni thi tumhe?" Parth asked curiously.

"Wo sir mujhe aapse aakele mein baat karni hain so baad mein." She said when Parth nodded positively.

Randhir looked at Sanyukta and saw her moist eyes, he took out his hanky and leaned towards her.

"Maine keya kaha tha phone par ke stop crying or else I'll shut your mouth in my style." He said huskily near her ear when wiped the corner of her eyes when she hold his arm tightly to believe that he was really there. Randhir understand that and cupped her face and placed a soft kiss on his forehead thus she closed her eyes.

"Aab biswas huya ke main yehi par hu tumhare saath!" He said softly when Sanyukta just hugged him forgetting everything around her. Roja smiled to saw them and looked away.

"God jab dono ek dusre ke bina rahe nehi sakte toh phir ladte key hain?" Roja asked to herself.

"Good question but kisiki private moment ko dekhna vi galat hain." Parth said thus Roja looked at him and found him busy to playing video game in his phone.

"Maine kuch nehi dekha." She said feeling awkward when Parth kept mum.

"Yeh sir aaj itna weird behaviour kyu kar rahe hain! Keya aabhi tak aapne ex girlfriend ki sadme se bahar nehi aaye!" She thought and kept mum.

"Waise keya baat karni thi tumhe?" Randhir asked hugging Sanyukta back.

"Umm car ki aandar chale am not comfortable here." Sanyukta said shyly.

"As you wish Begam Saheba!" Randhir said thus Sanyukta blushed hard. He opened the back door of his car and they get inside.

"Now tell me." Randhir said curiously.

"I'm sorry." She said thus he rolled his eyes.

"What yeh bolne ke liye bulaya tha?" He asked surprisingly when she nodded a no.

"I thought I must apologise first as I hurt you." She said slowly thus Randhir smiled.

"Am sorry too for hurting you also." Randhir said caressing her cheek thus Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Aab bolo keya baat hain tension ho raha hain mujhe toh!" He said impatiently when she nodded.

"Randhir shayed yeh sahi jagah nehi hain aur nahi sahi waqt. Shayed tumhe aaise short notice mein bulana vi sahi nehi hain but I can't help it, am sorry for all this." She said hesitatingly when Randhir hold her hands.

"Sanyukta jab tum mere saath ho toh phir sab kuch sahi hain. Yeh jagah, yeh waqt sab sahi hain kyu ki hum saath hain. And about calling me here in a short notice then baby it's your right on me and you don't need to say sorry for asking me that as am all yours." He said when she smiled brightly.

"Actually I wanted to say you something very important. Randhir I know we are sharing a love and hate relationship. I mean once we hate each other then we decided to give a chance to our marriage for our baby, then we became friends..."

"And then I fall for you." Randhir said before she completed.

"Please Randhir don't interrupt, meri baat bahut important hain." Sanyukta said when Randhir nodded.

"Randhir I always consider you as my friend but today I wanted to say you that you are not my friend only but a special one. You hold a very special place in my life and I-I I think I started liking you more than a friend." Sanyukta said hesitatingly when Randhir became speechless.

"I don't know how to say you but I like you Randhir, I like you very much more than a friend." She said shyly forwarding the pink rose when Randhir smiled brightly.

"You really like me?" He asked taking the rose when she nodded shyly.

"Then prove it." He said when she looked at him confusingly.

"If you like me more than a friend and am the special person in your life then kiss me right now." Randhir said when she turned totally pink.

"Yeha par!" She asked shyly.

"Kyu achchhi jagah toh hain with full privacy!" He winked at her when she blushed hard.

"Come on am waiting for the prove." He said teasingly when she blushed but when she herself confessed that she likes him more than a friend then what's the problem to give him what he wants!

"Okay but first close your eyes." Sanyukta said shyly when Randhir smiled but closed his eyes next.

Sanyukta blushed hard when stopped breathing. She biting her lips nervously then slowly went near him. She felt very nervous when her heart beat became faster when Randhir also felt the same. Sanyukta came near him thus he felt her hot breath fanning on his skin thus he stopped breathing when she quickly pecked his lips and moved back. Randhir opened his eyes with a jolt and looked at her surprisingly.

"What, maine kiya toh!" She said shyly lowering her lashes.

"You called it a kiss?" He asked shockingly when she nodded confusingly.

"Madam french toast baad mein banana but right now I have to teach you about french kiss." Randhir said huskily and pulled her for a mind numbing kiss.

Randhir started kissing her gently. Soon Sanyukta started responding also. They were lost in their moments when Sanyukta felt another kick at her womb.

"Aahhh..." She shrieked thus Randhir looked at her surprisingly.

"What happened baby?" He asked worriedly.

"Wo baby kicked." She said holding her belly.

"Is it hurts?" He asked placing his palm over her hand thus she nodded a no.

"Told you my baby will love me more. See she can't even take it that I love her mamma! But don't worry baby I love you the most more than anyone, more than anything." Randhir said and placing a kiss on her belly thus Sanyukta smiled.

"Waise I love you too so muh banane ki jarurat nehi hain!" He said teasingly when she rolled her eyes.

"Waise tumhe aagar aur prove chahiye then am ready to give you that." He said when she became confused.

"Kaisa prove?" She asked confusingly.

"That I love you. Aur aabhi aabhi jaise prove diya tha waise aur vi de sakta hu." He said smirking at her when she blushed hard.

"Dhyet!" She said shyly when he pecked her lips.

"I love you Sanyukta and this is the token of my love." He said affectionately when she lost in her eyes. Just then his phone beeped with a message which broken their trance.

"It's more than 15 minutes so come out Romeo you have to go back office in time."

"Iss Parth ki toh, ek minute ki privacy nehi milta mujhe isski wajah se! Mann toh karta hain ke ek ulte haat ka ghuma ke du!" Randhir said irritatingly when Sanyukta checked the message.

"Waise he is right, you have to go back office and the baby also feeling hungry now." She pouted thus he smiled.

"Okay let's go but yeh date adhura hain aabhi so hum isse baad mein pura karenge." He said when she smiled. Randhir put the rose in his pocket and they came out from the car.

"Waise tumhara confession sunne ke baad toh mann kar raha hain ke baki ka date uss honeymoon suite mein continue karu. What are you say, book kar du?" He winked at her thus she blushed.

"Dhyet!" She punched on his chest lightly and he hugged her. Just then a group of young boys came there and saw a couple was stood there hugging each other.

"Aare aasli picture toh yeha par chal raha hain, bass thoda popcorn mill jata toh!" They passes ill comments to saw Randhir and Sanyukta when they part apart. Randhir was about to say something when Roja came in between.

"Kyu kabhi kisi husband ko aapne wife ko hug karte nehi dekha hain keya? Aur jab Supreme Court ne publicly hug ko allow kiya hain toh phir tum logo ko keya problem ho raha hain? Aab chal jaldi se yeha se phut le warna aapne heel se itna marungi na ke teri biwi vi teri sakal pahechan nehi payegi!" Roja said furiously when everyone became shocked to saw her like that. Hearing the noise the watchman came thus the boys ran away from there.

"Aur Sanyukta ko lagta hain ke mujhe iss bandit queen se pyar hain!" Parth shook his head in disbelief.

"Aap aaise kaise kisiko vi yeha par allow kar sakte hain, pata nehi yeha par families vi aati hain?" Randhir asked to the watchman.

"Sorry sir aab mall mein kitne log aate hain, kiss kiss ko rokenge?" The watchman said helplessly.

"Thik hain but please aage se dhyan rakhiye ga, it's about public's safety." Randhir said thus the watchman nodded and left from there.

"Aab hume chalna chahiye." Sanyukta said thus everyone became agreed and left from there.

They came to the food court and all settled down. Randhir was staring at Sanyukta lovingly, he can't even move his eyes from her. Sanyukta noticed his constant gaze on her and blushing profusely. Just then Parth coughed which broken their trance.

"Koyn keya keya khayega batao main order karta hu." Parth said innocently.

"Cough syrup." Randhir replied. "Tu aapne liye sabse pehele cough syrup leke aah, okay!" He said annoyingly thus Parth chuckled.

"Lunch lau toh chalega?" Parth said innocently thus Randhir glared at him.

"Come Sanyu." Parth said playfully when Randhir lost his patience.

"Dekh tu..." Randhir was about to say something when Roja interrupt.

"Okay main jati hu, sir chaliye." Roja said and pulled Parth along with her to the food counter.
