It was a very bright and lucky morning for Virat!
He was lying on the bed facing Sai, who was in a very deep slumber. He lifted one pillow from the Singahad qila and looked at her calm face. She looked like a baby while sleeping..
See, this is why he calls this morning a lucky one.
It's very rare that he wakes up before to be Dr. Sai Joshi!
She, being the Padaku, wakes up before 5 most of the days. But today was different.. She was on leave because of her injuries and was also on heavy medication, which has made her sleep till 7..which isn't too late but in Sai Joshi's world, it is!
The past few days were too hard on them.. Him misunderstanding her, telling her all those cursed words, her accident, and going to Pulkit's house.. Everything had taken a toll on them..
He had to work really hard to get her back.. During the week that she had stayed at Pulkit's house, he visited her everyday despite her not wanting to see him..He would come whenever Devi Tai said that she was asleep.. He was definitely not gonna disturb her if she didn't wanna see him..
She knew about it from Devi Tai.. Who kept telling her how Viru would stand at her room's door and stare at her sleeping figure with lots of love..
She also came to know about him giving an earful to Pakhi didi and asking her to leave the house if she isn't gonna stop interfering in their life and would never care about Samrat and his return.
He even started calling her Patralekha Vahini.
This was the assurity that she needed. She was so pissed off by the fact that he could think so low of her.. But then she knew they were Humans.. They tend to make mistakes especially if there's someone playing a dirty game behind them.
Her Virat Sirs anger too had no control,especially if it was related to her.
So after a lot of manaofying and vaada giving sessions of not repeating it by Virat Sir , she was back at Chavan Nivas.
He wanted to hug her tight and give her a tight sloppy kiss to ensure that he was never gonna let her go far from him, never again,
WHAT. SO. EVER. MAY. HAPPEN. OR. WHOMSOEVER. MAY. TRY.
But the kiss part would just happen in his dreams!
He knew it.
He had tried 5 times and managed to fail with flying colours 😂.
And now he kinda lost hopes..
Ek tho he had confessed that he was insecure and jealous of her friendship with Ajinkya while at Pulkit's house,and had expected her to understand that he has feelings for her.. For sometime she looked like she understood that but again Once reaching their room, she got amnesia!
She had started her construction work on the bed and The famous qila was built in between them,Again.
Virat so badly wanted to destroy it but then he knew that Sai was injured and didn't want to hurt her in his sleep , and he also had no idea how she would react to it . The last time he asked her about it was on her birthday , where she said she had kept it for him and she wanted her personal space. So he kept quiet, making a mental note to throw away those pillows as soon as he gets a positive signal from her.
He stared at her sleeping face.. So calm and peaceful with her lips forming a small pout.. He so badly wanted to kiss those!
Arhh no.. He wouldn't think of it not at least when she is injured and has not yet started realising her feelings for him.
But. uhmm..
But.. A forehead kiss wouldn't hurt right?
She did not stop him during his last failed attempt! Which means she didn't mind him kissing her
Matlab.. On the forehead!
Not able to control his urges.. He moved closer to the pillow wall and started removing each pillow that was an obstacle to him..
He could have kissed her from above the pillows , Lekin three things..
Maza nahi ayega ..
Agar he trips and falls on her.. He would hurt her
He doesn't want that damn wall in between them when he kisses her for the first time. It's morning , She will remove it once she wakes up.. So he is just making it easier for her!
He inched closer to her once he was successful in removing the pillows. He slowly tucked a strand of hair falling on her forehead behind her ears and she smiled in her sleep feeling his touch..
His smile widened seeing this.
How cute was she ! How was he so lucky to get her in spite of all the drama happening in their lives ?
He thanked god for erasing someone's contact number from his hand and for destroying his phone that day after the yoga camp. Otherwise his life would have been horrible .1
Here he is living his best moments with her. She, Aai and Samrat were the only people who had seen the chilled out , childish traits in him, The real him !
He slowly traced his index finger from her forehead down to her cheeks , slowly moving towards her lips . He felt her lips with his thumb and his stomach did some weird flip flops.
It was the first proper intimate touch that they shared.
He so badly wished to taste her lips .
But he will wait, he will wait till she realises her feelings and will be ready.
He smiled slightly admiring her, taking in every detail of her face.
He slightly bent forward and placed a feathery kiss on her forehead.
He was too close to her and she was facing him..They almost were hugging each other and lying, He could feel her curves on him and it was turning hard for him to control his urges to openly shower his love on her.
Sai opened her eyes feeling his warmth. The sight she woke up to was her Virat sir's lips right in front of her. She was kinda dazed because of the medicines and was clueless.
She put her palms on Virats chest and pushed herself a little backward to get a clearer view of his face.
Virat sir. Aap ye kya kar rahe hai ? She asked him, still clueless about her surroundings , her eyes big and round as if she was dazed.
She still didnt notice their position.
Virat had no idea if he should laugh at Sais expressions or cry at his fate for being caught!
He just kept staring at her, trying to figure out an answer, looking dumb.
Virat sir !! MAine kuch poocha ..Aap kya kar rahe hai ? she asked seeing him staring at her as if she was some sort of an alien
Kuch nahi ! Mr Virat Dumb Chavan was back !
Huh Was Virat sir alright ? Wasn't she the one who had an accident then why was Virat sir behaving weird?
Kuch nahi kar raha hun main.. Mai bas woh ..tumhare phone dhoond raha tha .. " he finally came up with an excuse
Mera Phone? Kyun?
Patha nahi.. Ok Virat sir needs to get an appointment with a psychiatrist..
Kahi mere accident ki wajah se inhe itna bada sadma toh nahi laga.. Sai thought to herself
Patha nahi matlab?
Aarrey.. Nahi . matlab.. Alarm of karna tha .. isliye dhoond raha tha..
LEkin mera alarm tho baj hi nahi raha hai
Virat sometimes hated how much his wife noticed unnecessary things She would notice the tiniest details of things but would never see his feelings.. Would never understand the hidden meanings in the things that he does for her.
" ha .. wo.. Agar alarm bajega toh tumhari neend kharab ho jayegi na .. tho maine socha ki pehele hi wo switch off kar deta hoon .
Sai felt it cute. He always made her feel this weird sensation by doing these teeny tiny things.. Especially when he does things that once her Aaba had done for her.
Thank you " she said with a small smile on her face which was returned by her husband.
His smile made her heart flutter.. She has been getting these feelings a lot since her birthday day when he had said that he had started liking her and she was very special to him.
That's when she started noticing the changes in him.. He had always been caring to her but something had changed in the way he looks at her, smiles at her. She couldn't stand his gaze nowadays. They had a different level of intensity altogether. She felt nervous every time he looked at her for a little longer.. But she liked that nervousness.
And the way he confessed that he no longer wants their relationship to be a Deal and wants them to have a normal husband and wife relationship had given her a hint that her Virat sir has started falling for her.
The week that followed her stay at Pulkit jiju's house was too hard for her.
Till then she never understood the depth of his looks and gazes.
But now she knew that he liked or maybe had started loving her.. She wasn't sure.. But she knew it was more than just zimmedari or dosti.
She was angry at him but this realisation had made her melt for him easily. She understood it was his insecurities and fear of losing her that made him do that. He was definitely wrong! But then he regretted it and had apologized to her and had taken efforts to melt her anger down.
She didn't have the heart to torture him more than a week and finally she gave in and came back with him.
Now she knew that her relationship with Virat sir wasn't just a Deal and that their Zimmedari phase was over.
But this fact had done some weird things to her.. She found herself getting lost in his thoughts more often, her heart would do some random things to her whenever he came closer and would end up smiling like an idiot if any such encounters happened. Well, she had lost control over her mind too! Was she falling in love too ? She had asked this question to herself many times in the past week.
Maybe she was! That's why she couldn't tolerate him misunderstanding her in that matter.. It killed her to stay away from him even for a week. Her heart broke every time he cried in front of her begging for her forgiveness. She felt immense pleasure as her Virat Sir called Pakhi didi as Patraleka Vahini.
Well these things just meant one thing, that she has fallen in love with her Virat Sir!
She wanted to seal their relationship in a lifelong Deal ❤
Thinking of all this she looked at her palm which was still resting on his chest.
The ring that he had gifted her was shining bright on her finger.
She lifted her eyes from her palm to his face.. He was busy gazing at her dreamily while she was in her thoughts. There was something so beautiful about the way he looks at her.There was a special connection between them. She could feel herself getting lost in his dark brown orbs.
Virat for the first time noticed something different in her eyes. It didn't look like the usual innocent looks that she gave him.. It looked like a look that a woman would give to the man she loves, to the man she desires.
Was he dreaming? No he can see it in her eyes for real. The same intensity that he has for her.. He could feel the love radiating from her eyes..
He inched closer to her, both of them were so Close that even air couldn't pass between them. He wrapped his one hand around her waist and cupped her face with his other hand and gently placed a kiss on her forehead and she closed her eyes feeling the warmth of his lips. He slid his lips down to her nose and kissed the tip of her nose. She held his shoulders firmly trying to decipher the tingling sensations in her stomach.
He slowly made her lie on the bed, hovering over her so that she was under him. He was extra gentle with her as he didn't want to hurt her since she hasn't recovered fully yet.
Sai could feel her heart pounding. She felt dizzy!
She had never been this close to a man!
The last time she was almost close was when Virat Sir ate laddu from her hand..
Lekin they were soon carried away by their banter and she hadn't realised her feelings back then..
But now things are different..
She was experiencing feelings that she never thought that she was capable of experiencing.
It was weird , tingly and awkward but she loved it.
She loved it when her Virat sir never hesitated to be close to her, as if she belonged to him.
Virat thought this was the perfect moment to confess his feelings to her in Spasht Shabd as she always preferred!
He was confident today that she felt the same too.. Otherwise she would've stopped him and also it was so evident in her eyes, at that moment, how much she loves him!
" Saimei"
" Sai.. Godu Tum log abhi tak nahi uthe kya.. Jaldi aa jao breakfast ke liye!!!"
They jerked apart as they heard Aai's voice outside the door along with a few knocks..
Why!? Why did his mother always have the worst timing!
Ye Ai chahthi hai ki Sai aur mei ek sath rahe Lekin hume ek hone hi nahi deta.. Humesha galat time pe a jate hai.
Virat rolled his eyes cursing his fate !
He got away from her straightening himself while Sai replied to his Aai
" Haaa Ayi.. Hum abhi a rahe hai .. Aap jayiye na.. Bas panch minute"
She said, trying not to look at Virat!
She rarely blushed but she knew she was as red as a tomato at that moment and just wanted to escape from there..
" Main jaldi taiyar hoke athi hu.." She avoided his gaze and turned to go to the washroom..
She stopped in her tracks as if she realised something and turned to him..
"Virat sir..!"
"Hmm"
" Takiye kahaa hai?"
" huh?"
" wo HuMare beech mei jo Takiye the na wo Kaha hai..? "
Virat looked like a kid who was caught by his parents for doing shaitani.
" m.. Mujhe kaisa pata .. ?"
Sai giving the typical Sai Joshi Pakde Sache Doshi look to him said
" Acha.. SAI Joshi Pakde Sache Doshi.. Sach batao varna mein Danda Ram ka help lungi..Aur aapko toh pata hai , anjaam acha nahi hoga "
" Theek hai mai bol deta hu Sach.."
He said staring at her with lots of love.. He moved closer to her and held her hands !
He knew this was their cute Nok Jhok moment ! But humesha nok jhok nahi chalega na,He had already wasted a lot of time not confessing his feelings , but now since he felt she too likes him , he mustered up the courage to finally do it !
" Sai Joshi Chavan.. Wo kya hai na.. Mujhe nahi lagta ab hamare beech koi deewar ki zaroorat hai.. Tumne mere liye wo Qila banake rakha tha na.. Ab meine hi usko hata diya..
Wo kya hai na mei apne Baiko se bohot pyaar karta hu aur agar meri Baiko ne mujhe neend mei dhakka diya toh mujhe koi problem nahi hai.. "
Virat finally was able to confess.. Planning and Plotting hasn't worked for him.. So he just had to tell her in the simplest way possible..
Sai was shocked.. Did she hear it right.. Or was she not up from her sleep yet?
" Aap Mujhse pyar karte hai?" she asked, pointing to herself, not trusting what she heard and emphasizing on the word MUJHSE .
"mere khayal mein mera ek hi biwi hai.. Wo tum ho..."
Virat mentally hit his own head at her weird questions..
Sai gave him a short smile, taking in his words ..
But she wasn't sure of something..
Tho wo deal ?
Virat wanted to kill himself.. Why would she still keep thinking about that ?
Wo deal wahi hai Sai ! bas maine kuch changes kiya .. Ab us deal mei yeh hai ki hum dono hamesha pati patni jaisa hi rahenge .. ek doosre se wo sare ummeedein rakhne chahiye jo har ek pathi pathni ek dusre par rakhte hai . Aur humare rishta tumhare doctor hone tak hi nahi , balki pure sath janmo ka rishta hoga !
Sai gave him her 2 km lambi smile and tightened the hold on his palms.
Virat Sir , I really dont know if I love you or not , lekin main yeh baat apko zaroor kah sakti hoo ki thoda thoda.. she paused for a bit and continued
nahi.. mei bhi aap ko bahut pasand karne lagi hoon. Jab aap mere paas ho, mujhe acha lagta hai. Apka har baat mere liye bahut important hai, aur jab aap mujhse naraz ho, mujhe bahut bura lagta hai. Aur yeh rishta bhi mere liye ab bahut mayne rakhte hai. JAb aap mere sath ho na , mujhe aisa lagta hai ki mere Aaba mere sath hai , utna important ho aap mere liye, mere dil ke bohat qareeb ho . Aap ke bina mai jee nahi paungi Virat sir !
Virats happiness knew no bounds. She started liking him, which itself was a huge progress!
And he reminds her of her Aabas presence. Virat didn't need any more proofs to understand how important he was to her . She would never compare someone with her Aaba until and unless that person is of utmost importance.
tum mujhe pasand karne lage ho aur tumne tumhare aaba aur mere tulna ki mujhe iske aage kya chahiye Sai ? Tumhe andaaza bhi nahi hai ki mai kitna khush hu .. He said cupping her face and joining his forehead with hers .
Mai Holi ke din hi tumse apna dil ki baat kehna chahta tha .. lekin uss din bhi nahi hua aur tumhare birthday pe bhi .. he said softly moving a little away
Aap Tabse mujhse pyaar karte hai ? she asked innocently.
haa sai .. sach batau toh jab maine tumhe pehle dekha .. Gadchiroli mein, tab bhi tumhare liye kuch special feel kar raha tha .Pyaar nahi hoga lekin kuch toh Special tha .. isliye hi mei tumse shadi bhi karne ke liye taiyar tha .. varna mei kisi anjaan ladki se thodi na shadi kar leta zimmedari ke liye
Her Virat Sir never failed at making her feel special.
How did she end up with this amazing human being ..
It's true .. Every time you lose someone you get someone even more special
She could never compare the places she had for Aaba and virat sir , they both had their own special places..
Achcha aap toh bade chupi rustam nikla she said being her naughty self
Haa ab agar biwi SAi Joshi hoga tha mei aur kya banu
And they both laughed heartily like the good old days , but just with a little bit more love .
Knock knock
They heard someone knock on the door again. This time Virat opened the door only to find Patralekha Vahini at the door .
Why did she want to spoil his heavenly morning?
Patralekha Vahini.. Aap subah subah mere kamre mei kyu ayi ho?
She hated him calling her that .. but what could she do.. This was her karma hitting her back.
She wasn't satisfied with having him as her friend at least and kept blaming him when she was at fault.
wo sab log breakfast ke liye intezaar kar raha tha, so maine socha ki tumhe ake neeche bulau
Agar aisa hai toh mohit , karishma ya kisi aur ko bhej sakte the .. Vahini, maine aapse bola tha ki mere kamre mai kabhi bhi mat ana .. fir kyu aayi ?
im sorry she said and left not wanting to invite more beizzati on herself.
Sai was happy seeing Virat realising the actual problem in their relationship.
But she was not someone to feel happy to see someone sad.
She just wanted Samrat dada to return asap so that Pakhi didi would stop finding bahanas to come into their room and finally be able to concentrate on her life .
Whereas only one image was stuck in Pakhis mind..
The image of Sairats bed that she saw in their room a while ago ..
Takiye kaha hai ? she thought to herself in spite of knowing that there was no point in being jealous !
