Naina's P.O.V
I and ma just finished having dinner and we're in our room and they gave us. Ma was smiling and was thanking God for such good people.
I was happy for her though. If we went back they would've killed her today for sure. She hated working there but she has no choice.
We heard a knock on the door and adi came in. Ma was in the washroom.
I tried to get up from the bed but he rushed to my side and stopped me from doing so and put a pillow under my head.
"How are you feeling now baby?" He asked holding my hand kissing it gently making me blush.
"I'm okay now, the dinner was really good and the soup was amazing" his mom makes such good food I swear. Ma too does but I can't help but praise her too. Hehe.
He smiled at me "I'm glad you liked it, infact i can't wait to taste the food made by your hands" he said and I blushed again.
When I used to cook for those dogs, they never liked it so I don't know if adi will like it or not.
He kept looking at me intently and started leaning forward. My eyes widen and my lips parted.
I quickly my hand on his chest and signalled at the washroom.
"Ma is the washroom" I whispered and he made a face making me giggle.
"Bhot hassi aa rahi hai na?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "Wait till you get better, fir bataunga" he said and my laughter died there. He smirked.
The sound of doorknob clicked and adi left my hand immediately.
"Arey adi beta what are you doing here?"
"I was checking on naina aunty" he said. She nodded.
"Thank you so much for letting us stay here beta it means a lot. If only we could somehow repay it all to you" she said joining her hands Infront of him.
He quickly held her hands and said "arey nahi nahi please don't emabresss me. You are my bab- nainas loved one. Her family is my family and family comes first always."
He continued " You can stay here as long as you want. Even till the wedding. I won't mind" he said the part and winked at me. I blushed.
She smiled and lovingly ran her hand on his face. She went to other side of the bed with her back towards us.
Adi leaned to me again "ek ghar mai hone ke baad bhi ham kitne dur hai" he said and faked hurt. I smiled and quickly looked if ma was watching or not.
Quickly got up on my tippy toes and hurriedly placed a kiss on his cheek more like a peck but his reaction was worth watching.
His eyes widen and his mouth dropped open. Ma turned around and looked at him confused.
"Beta is everything okay?" She asked.
He shook his head and nodding like a child. I turned the darkest shade of red.
"Okay goodnight beta" she said
"Good-goodnight" he said and hurriedly went away.
I smiled internally and laughed at my actions. What is he doing to me? Aahhh! I bit my lip but the next second thought started coming in my head. Did he like it or Not?.
Shaking my head for my big day tomorrow if I get better which I am already feeling but adis family will be the one deciding if I'm okay or not. Hehe.
I pulled up the blanket and turned off the lamp and wished ma goodnight and drifted to sleep thinking about adi.

Aditya's P.O.V
What just happened? I stood there in the hallway still in shock. Abhi who was passing from there gave me a teasing look seeing the direction from where I just came.
"What happened bhai all okay?' He said. I nodded.
"What are you doing here so late?" I aksed him.
"Paani pine aaya tha. Waise aap yahan kya kar rahe ho?" He asked smiling.
"Voh mai uh-mai- mai bhi paani pine aaya tha" I made up something.
"Kitchen toh wahan hai, mujhe nhi pata tha iss ghar ke kamron mai bhi kitchen hai aur voh bhi bhabhi ke kamre mai" he said grinning like a fool.
I glared at him.
"Zada mat bol, jaa jaake soja"
He smiled teasingly and showed me all his teeth and ran away saying 'kal sabko bataunga' how mature!.
I shook my head and went to my room smiling like an idiot. Fell on my bed with a thump and hugged the pillow thinking it's my naina. Meri jaan.
I so wanted to run back and reciprocate that kiss. But her ma was here. I wouldn't mind sneaking in there. Ooh God only save me now.
Sleepwalking krte krte na chala jaun mai vahan. Ohhh good idea! Wow!. I shook my head at my own silliness and quickly drifted off to sleep thinking about my naina.

Authour's P.O.V
It was the next day and everyone was ready to barge into nainas room. All were standing on the entrance like idiots. None of them was knocking. Even the cook was there looking at all of them.
Adi was standing in the front and was ready to knock.
Knock....knock
The door opened and there stood a surprised naina seeing the entire family at the door.
"Hii" the entire family said in unison showing all their teeth. She smiled back awkwardly.
"We just wanted to check on you" mom said coming from behind.
"Yeah" followed by dad
"Yeah" and followed by all the members.
"Oh um okay. I'm okay thank you. In fact much better" she said happily.
"Great" they all said in unison again. They kept staring at each other standing at the door. Not saying anything.
"Um sir mam breakfast is ready" the cooks voice made them turn around and look at him. They all looked at him and he just stood there confused.
"Yeah let's Go I'm hungry" vidhi said breaking everyone's stare and went to the dining room. Slowly everyone started following her only adi was left.
He looked at naina and she smiled at him. He smiled back and they all went to the table.
Where a lot of debates were held seriously that whether the haldi should be done today or not. Naina kept trying to convince them saying that she's okay but all ignored her and kept discussing amongst themselves.
Ma looked at everyone and smiled. She was really happy and wanted nothing more.
In the end it was finally decided that they would do the haldi today. Also adi sounded pretty desperate so keeping that in mind as well all agreed.
