"But you don't..." She said with a heavy voice.

"I do...." He replied instantly.

Her eyes held moisture.

"You don't..." She said and got up from her seat.

He grabbed her hand to stop.

His grip around her wrist was tight.

He slightly pulled her close to him.

Sanyukta looked at him.

Randhir's eyes were teary.

"I really do..." "I love you..." He confessed

Sanyukta skipped a heart beat.

Did he just confessed his love?
For her?
He really loves her?
Her crave, her wait for his love finally ended?
But... If he loves her, then why did he behaved so indifferently to her?
Why did he ignored her?
Why did he not care about their relationship?

Sanyukta didn't reply anything.

Randhir understood her dilemma.

She won't be able to trust him easily.

He need to make her realise his love for her.

He needs to show his love.

He has to make her fall in love with him. AGAIN.

"Pyaar hai toh, jatana bhi toh padta hai"

Sometime later.

They reached home.

The entire journey from hotel to home was SILENT.

Neither did Randhir strike a conversation nor Sanyukta say anything.

She needs time.

Randhir understood it.

On the other hand, Sanyukta was in dilemma.

She wanted to trust his words.

Her heart was slowly giving away to his honest confession.

Her heart wanted to accept it.

But...she was unsure.

She is still afraid of trusting him.

Sanyukta changed and lay down on bed.

Randhir smiled on her action.

She herself slept on bed today.

He changed and lay next to her bed.

He was facing her back.

Sanyukta had hear eyes close tightly but that doesn't mean she was fast asleep.

She was awake.

He lower the temperature of AC.

Sanyukta started feeling cold.

Randhir noticed it.

She turned and at the same time Randhir covered her with blanket.

Their eyes met again.

"I know you were not sleeping ...." He chuckled

"Good Night Biwi..." He pressed his lips on her forehead.

He moved aside and closed his eyes.

Sanyukta kept on watching him for sometime and soon fall asleep.

Next Morning.

As soon as Randhir opened his eyes his lips crept into a smile.

His BIWI was still sleeping peacefully in his arms.

He chuckled on how they come close to each other in sleep.

He moved more close to her and pressed his lips on her forehead.

"Good Morning..." He mumbled.

This made Sanyukta open eyes.

She again was under intense gaze of her husband.

"Good Morning Biwi..." He said

"Morning..." she replied

She got up from bed.

Randhir who was still lying on bed smiled a huge one.

"Biwi...I am going to make you fall in love again" He said

After sometime.

Sanyukta came to room and found Randhir busy on phone.

She turned her face to other side because he was ...Shirtless.

Ohh yes, curse the power cuts in Delhi.

"Hmm okay...forward me those e-mails and I will check and revert back" He said eyeing Sanyukta who was busying doing her work.

Randhir smirked as he got excellent chance to tease Sanyukta.

He looked out of the window and found some girls staring at them.

A shirtless Randhir is treat to watch for everyone except HIS BIWI. :P

Randhir was still on phone and meanwhile he wave a 'HI' to those four girls.

He looked back and found Sanyukta busy.

He needs to grab her attention.

"Yeah Peter I am listening..." He said over the phone.

The girls were gawking at him while Randhir was enjoying the attention.

"One sec Peter...." Randhir said

"Sanyukta...please can you get me a pen and paper" He said

She nodded.

In no time, she handed him a notepad and pen.

She was about to go when she heard some giggles.

She stopped and looked out of the window.

She saw that some girls were checking out Randhir.

She looked at Randhir.

He shrug his shoulders and acted of being helpless.

She eyed those girls and they left from there.

She was about to go when he grabbed her hand to stop.

Sanyukta realised that he was not talking anymore on phone.

He was acting.

In fact the call ended few minutes back.

He pulled her closer.

"No need to get jealous Sanyukta..." He mumbled

"Those girls were just checking me out...shirtless" He chuckled

Sanyukta turned her face to other side.

"It's high time Sanyukta...you should stop being shy..." He husked in her left ear.

Her eyes widen.

"You shouldn't get shy whenever I am shirtless Sanyukta" "I am your husband and you have all right to see me like this..." He said

Sanyukta still couldn't look at him.

"I know..." "Secretly, you do check me out..." He chuckled

"No..." She fumbled

"You do..." He said

"I...I don't..." She fumbled "Then look into my eyes and say..." He said

"Say Sanyukta...." "You don't check me out..." He said

"Randhir...I have to go" She struggled to get out of his grip.

"You remember that incident..." Randhir said

Sanyukta finally looked up at him.

*flashback*

6 months ago.

Wedding preparation were going in full swing.

The wedding was going to take place in wedding hall.

Kishore was reluctant and unsure with the choice of wedding venue but Harsh made him comfortable.

Just three days were left now.

Shekhawat family was welcomed warmly by Agrawal family.

Shekhawats moved out of their hotel and shifted to wedding hall.

Pre-wedding ceremonies were going to start from the evening.

Randhir was in room.

He was already tired and exhausted due to extreme heat.

All the guest were served with Roohafza.

"Aare Harshji..." "Damadji kahi nazaar nahi aarahe?" Kisore asked

"Kishoreji...woh room main hai" "Usse garmi sehen nahi ho rahi..." Harsh told him.

"Aacha..." "Main sharbaat bhejvata hu unke liye..." Kishore said

"Sanyukta hai na...woh lejayegi sharbaat Randhir ke liye" Harsh said

"Aur dono ko thoda wakt bhi milega...baat karne ke liye" Harsh said

On Harsh's request, Sanyukta agreed to go to Randhir's room.

She was hell nervous to do that.

Her heart beats were running faster as soon as she reached his room.

She knocked the door with her free hand .

No response came.

She again knocked the door but still there was no response.

"Randhir...." she called his name.

She again tried her luck and knock the door.

"Come in..." finally came a reply.

"The door is open..." Randhir said

She pushed the door little.

She peeped into the room but couldn't find Randhir.

"Randhir..." She said

"I am here" He replied

"Where?" She asked him.

"In washroom..." He replied

"Okay..." she replied and waited for him to return.

Randhir was done washing his face.

He wiped his face with towel and stepped out of the washroom.

What...? He was shirtless.
Sanyukta was rooted at spot.
She immediately looked down due to shyness.

"Yeah..." he said

"Umm...I..." She fumbled with words.

"Say Sanyukta..." He said

"I have brought this sharbaat...for you" She spoke.

"Ohh...I need one badly..." "God it's too hot here..." "Thank you so much...." He chirped

She smiled.

She started walking in his direction.

Suddenly her leg slipped and she ended up landing on him.

Randhir clutched Sanyukta and they both fell on ground with the Roohafza adding sweetness to the moment.

Their eyes met for a perfect eye lock.

"I am sorry...my leg got slipped" She tried to get up but she again landed up on him.

Randhir helped her in getting up.

"I am sorry..." She said

"No I am sorry..." "I should have made you aware of water on the floor" "Mujse pani gir gaya tha galati se..." He said

"It's okay..." She said

"I will get...another one for you..." She said

"No...it's fine..." He said

"But..." "I mean I will take a bath and join everyone downstairs" Randhir said

"okay..." She said

She turned to go.

She carefully walked certain distance.

She slowly turned back and found him wiping his...chest with tissue.

Sanyukta blushed a little.

"If you need something...then let me know" She said

"Hmmmm...." he nodded.

She rushed out of the room while Randhir smiled a small one remembering the incident.

*flashback ends*

"Yaad hai..." "Roohafza..." He said

He started coming close to her.

"Randhir..." She mumbled.

"Randhir..." She said again as he touched their forehead.

"Main tumhara hu Biwi..." He hushed

"Sanyu...." Sanyukta heard her name.

"Randhir...Maa bula rahi hai..." She pushed him back.

She escaped the place quickly.

Randhir smiled seeing her reaction.
