They reached home. Anju and Kishore were waiting for them.

"Damadji...how was it?" "I hope you liked our Delhi" Kishore asked

"Yes, Papa...a lot" Randhir replied

"We are glad..." "Sanyu...Damadji...go and get freshen up" "We will have dinner then..." Kishore said

"Papa...I am full" "In fact had so much today" "Parantha, gol gappe..." Randhir said

"Ohh...okay" "No problem take rest" "Sanyu...beta you will have dinner?" Kishore asked

"No Papa..." "Don't feel like..." Sanyukta said and rushed to her room.

Later at night.

"Thank you Sumeet" "Because of you I managed to bring a small smile on her face" "I could spend time with her..." Randhir said

"But it seems she is still upset" Sumeet said

"She is..." "I know..." "She needs time..." Randhir said

"So now...what have you planned next?" Sumeet asked

"Nothing....as of yet" "Will see..." Randhir said

"All the best jiju..." Sumeet said

Randhir nodded.

He came to room where he found Sanyukta spreading mattress for her on the floor.

He didn't reacted but quietly lay on the bed.

Sanyukta found it strange as he didn't rebelled today.

She too slept in sometime.

In the middle of the night Randhir woke up to have water.

He gulped some water and looked at Sanyukta.

She was sleeping peacefully.

He went to her and pick her up in arms making sure she don't get disturb.

He put her on bed and lay next to her.

He covered her with his duvet.

Next Morning.

Sanyukta found herself in Randhir's arms.

She moved a bit and found Randhir was already looking at her.

She tried to get up but she was fully caged by him.

"Randhir...." She mumbled

"Hmmm...." He replied

"let me go... " She said

Randhir caged her waist.

She was pulled more close to him now.

"Randhir...." "I...." before she could speak Randhir placed a warm kiss on her forehead.

Sanyukta closed her eyes.

"Our every morning will be like this from now..." He mumbled

She couldn't believe his words.

He left her waist.

"You can go now...." He smiled

Sanyukta quickly got up from bed.

Sometime later.

Sanyukta came out of washroom wiping her hair with towel.

She stood in front of mirror and filled her parting.

She found herself under Randhir's intense gaze.

He was leaning on the wall and was looking at her.

She lowered her eyes immediately.

Randhir started taking steps in her direction.

With every step of his, her heart started running faster.

He came near her.

She was about to move but...she can't escape.

He held her hand to stop her.

He pulled her close to him.

The pull was strong that she end up bumping on to him.

She looked up and their eyes met for a perfect eye lock.

They were totally lost in each other.

*flashback*

A week before wedding.

Randhir came to India.

A small pooja was arranged at Sanyukta's place before wedding.

Shekhawats were of course invited.

A pair of eyes were glued to the main door.

Sanyukta was waiting for Randhir's arrival.

Her cousins were teasing her but Sanyukta ignored them.

All she wanted to see was Randhir that time.

Only she knows what this "Wait" means to her.

Her wait came to end.

He came.

Sanyukta's face welcome a huge smile.

Her eyes shinned brightly on seeing him.

It's after a month she is seeing him.

Randhir was welcomed by Agrawal family.

Kishore and Anju warmly welcomed their soon to be son in law.

Kishore introduced Randhir to their relatives who were not present during engagement.

Sanyukta couldn't move eyes from her soon to be husband.

How she wished him to spare a look at her.

But he was busy meeting her relatives.

She waited for sometime again.

Finally...after some time she found herself under Randhir's gaze.

He was watching her.

Sanyukta bit her lower lip slightly and looked down.

She is too shy.

She will not be able to see him now.

Poor her heart.

Sometime before she wished him to look at her.
Now that he was looking at her...she couldn't look back at him.

*flashback ends*

Sanyukta broke the eye lock.

His gaze was so strong that she couldn't match his gaze for long time.

Randhir understood her concern.

"Why so shy Sanyukta?" He said

She looked at him again.

"Hmmm....?" He chuckled.

"On one side...you secretly wish...me to look at you" "And when I do...." He pushed the wet hair locks away from her face.

"And when I look at you..." He started coming closer to her.

"You lower your eyes...due to shyness" He completed the sentence and touched their foreheads with each other.

"Why Sanyukta?" He asked her.

"Randhir...." she murmured.

Randhir cupped her face and slightly tilt her neck to the left.

He started reducing the remaining distance between them.

"Randhir...door is open..." She mumbled

But Randhir remain aloof to her words.

"Ran-...." He sealed her lips with his.

Her fingers were folded into fist.

Slowly...as the kiss got deepen she started losing herself.

She released her fist and her soft palms rested on his chest.

This is their first proper kiss.

Sanyukta felt butterflies in her stomach.

Her toes were curled.

Her eyes were tightly shut.

Randhir realised that she was running out of breathes.

He sucked her lips for one more time and withdrawn from the kiss.

He cupped her face again and touched their foreheads.

He could feel her breathes on his lips.

She was trying to gather her breathes.

"This is for the all those times when you got ready for me but I didn't care to look at you" He mumbled

His words made her open eyes.

She moved a little back and now they were again looking at each other.

He placed a warm kiss on her forehead.

"You are very important for me..." He said

"Very important..." He added further

Sanyukta was speechless.

She couldn't say anything.

Her heart wanted to trust his words but her mind was against it.

"I want to go...Maa must be waiting for me..." She said

"Hmmm...." He agreed to leave her.

He freed her from his grip.

She quickly escaped from there.

Randhir smiled a huge one.

Sanyukta came down and joined Anju in kitchen.

She did her best to act normal.

To remain unaffected from him.

"Sanyu...give me those chopped tomatoes from fridge...." Anju said

Sanyukta didn't responded as she was lost in thoughts.

"Sanyu..." Anju said but still Sanyukta was lost.

"Sanyu...." Anju said in little high voice.

"Haan...!" Sanyukta responded.

"What happened?" "Where were you lost...?" Anju asked her

"Nothing Maa....I....I just..." "I am sorry..." "What did you say?" Sanyukta said

"I think you are not well..." Anju said

"No Maa...I am fine" "What were you saying...?" Sanyukta said to handle the situation

"I have kept chopped tomatoes in fridge" "Get them" Anju said

"Okay..." She said

She walked in dining area to get tomatoes from fridge.

She was about to open the door of the fridge just when Randhir came there and grabbed her waist.

He dragged her to the pooja room which was just adjacent to their dinning room.

"Randhir..." "What...?" "What are you doing?" "Please let me go...Maa..." He pressed his palm on her mouth.

"We will got out for dinner tonight..." He said

She widen her eyes.

"Ummmm...." she requested him to move his hand away from her mouth.

"No..." she replied immediately.

"Yes...." He replied

"No Randhir..." "I don't want to go for dinner" She said

"I am not asking you...I am telling you that we are going for dinner" He said

"I won't come..." She said

"But why?" He asked

"I don't want to go for dinner" She stated her point.

"Any reason?" He asked

"I don't know..." she looked away.

"Okay..." he left her hand suddenly.

He turned and left from there.

"Randhir..." she called him but he didn't stopped.

He got upset and she was guilty.
