"I hope you are feeling better" Randhir asked

"Hmm..." "Much better" She replied

They were in car.

Randhir took Sanyukta to meet Kishore in jail.

Sanyukta met kishore and she felt better after meeting her father.

"Thanks..." She added

"You are always welcome..." He replied

"Umm..if you don't mind...can I ask you for a date" He said

Sanyukta looked at him

"Asking?" "Don't you think...you are already doing it" She giggled

"Yeah...I mean...to be on safe side...it better to seek permission before asking for a date" "He covered it up

"You don't have to seek for permission...I say YES" She said

Randhir's face welcome a big smile

The car stopped at posh 5 star hotel.

"Randhir, Here?" She looked at big building

"Yes...come" He said

"No...can we go somewhere else?" She said

"Why?" "This is best place...they serve amazing food" Randhir said

"No Randhir...lets go from here" "I don't feel comfortable at such places" "Plus its expensive" She said

"Whats so uncomfortable?" "Its a hotel...come na..." He got of the car

He opened her side of the door for her

"Please..." He forwarded his hand

Sanyukta kept her hand into his

The place was lavish,beautiful and expensive.

It looked royal.

Sanyukta had never been to such places before

Randhir was observing Sanyukta's uncomfortableness

He slowly slide his hand over her waist.

She looked at him

"Every couple entering inside...goes like this" He hushed in her ear.

"Couple?" She mumbled

"Hmm...aren't we couple, Sanyukta" He winked

"Umm...Aaa...umm...Hmm..." She fumbled

"I am taking my wife on a date...so people around should know about it" He said

Sanyukta was shocked

"Can we get inside...if you are done staring me" "I am damn hungry" He said

Sanyukta looked away immediately

She composed herself.

Randhir liked the way she was behaving.

He moved his hand away from her waist.

Sanyukta again looked at him.

He looked at her hand

He slowly wrapped his fingers with her fingers.

"This looks more romantic..." He smiled

"Roman-romantic" She gulped

"Yeah..." He replied

"Randhir, this...all" "I mean...I..." She fumbled with words

"Aren't you liking it?" He asked

She raised her eyes up

She was speechless

"Come lets go..." He tighten his fist

He walked and she followed his step

"Table for 2..." He said

"In corner..." He added

This came like other shock for her

"Sure..." the manager at reception gave warm and welcoming smile

They step inside.

The ambience of the hotel was mesmerizing.

The dim lights added more beauty.

There was soft music played in the background which suited perfectly

"Sit..." Randhir pulled a chair out for her to sit

She smiled and sat down

She was nervous.

Randhir could clearly see that.

Randhir settled in front of her

"Mexican is served best here...would you like to try it out" He suggested

"Hmm..." She replied

"What Hmmm?" "I am asking your opinion" He said

"Whatever you like Randhir" She said

"I am asking your choice" "If you want to have something else then we will go with it" Randhir said

"I don't know Mexican...means...never tasted it" She said

"See...I knew" "That's why I am asking your opinion" He said

"What else is served here?" "I think almost everything is continential" She said

"Yes...but they serve Indian as well" "So go ahead and select the dish" He handed her the menu card

Sanyukta was involved in looking at items served in Indian category

She took nearly 10 minutes but still no suggestions came from her side.

"Sanyukta" He broke the silence

She looked at him

"Food..." He said

"I am confused...I don't know...you only order" She said

"Ohh god this girl...give it to me now" He took the menu card back from her

Randhir ordered soup and starters.

"You can talk okay" "Usme koi tax nahi lagane wala" Randhir said

"Yeah..." She smiled faintly

"Do you come here often?" She asked

"Yeah...mostly" He replied

"Okay..." She said

"You might be ordering continential food always. Right?" She asked

"Yes..." He forced a smile

"Okay..." She said

"You might be coming here with friends" She asked

"Yes...and even with mom dad and dadi" He replied

"Okay..." She said

She kept mum.

Randhir was looking at her intently

"Next question?" He said

"haan?" She looked at him

"Next question please..." He repeated

"Randhir..."

"I feel like you are interviewer and I am interviewee" "We are husband and wife..." He said

"What happened?" "Why are you so restless?" He asked

"I have never been to such places Randhir" She said

"I know that...but sometimes its okay to go such places" "And you are not alone" "You are here with your husband" He said

"Yeah..." She replied

"come lets dance..." He got up holding her hand

"NOOO..." She replied

"What nooo?" "Come on..." "See every couple is dancing" He said

"Nooo Randhir...I can't dance" She said

"Its not a competition going on here" He said

"Randhir please nooo..." She said

"Do you trust me" He asked

Sanyukta got other shock in form of this question

"Say it..." He added

Sanyukta looked down

"Do you... trust me..." Randhir was serious this time

He wanted to know her answer

He wanted to hear a YES from her.

But she was silent.

"Okay..." He gave up

He was about to leave her hand

"Yes...I trust you" She said

Randhir was happy hearing that.

She got up from her seat.

They headed towards dance floor.

Sanyukta looked around other couples.

The ladies were all well dressed while she was wearing simple long umbrella kurti.

There was no makeup on her face like other ladies.

No heavy jewellery just a pair of earrings and mangalsutra around neck.

Watch in right wrist and bracelet in left one.

She was looking around at the couples who were dancing so close to each other.

Randhir slide his hand around waist and she was pulled by him.

He looked straight into her eyes.

"Don't get jealous of those ladies Sanyukta...you are way more beautiful then them" "You have no idea how beautiful you look in this simple kurti of yours..." "This long straight and open hair" He said

She looked down blushing.

Their bodies started waving on beats of music.

She could hardly look into his eyes or at his face now.

"Look at me...aaisa lag raha hai main akela dance kar raha hu" He said

She giggled

She looked at him.

They were lost into each other.

There was someone who was looking at them from corner

The pair of eyes looking at them out of jealousy.

SanDhir were unaware of that.

They were lost in each other and were unaware of new threat approaching them.
