Dinner’s ready”, she muttered and walked out of the room as he kept on looking towards that direction. He wondered what had gotten into him for the past few days that he had been noticing her so carefully.
“Kabir , dinner is ready”, she came back after a minute repeating herself and bringing him out of his thoughts. “Yes, I’m coming”, he replied arrogantly rolling his eyes at her and she walked away giving him a disgusted look in return.
Things had always been similar for the two of them. She had always been an egoistic and modern yet, traditional girl who couldn’t adjust with anyone unless it’s meant to be for her own interest or for her loved ones while he, Kabir had always been an arrogant businessman whose priority in life was his mother , Kusum Malhotra and his work and he didn’t consider it important to adjust or cooperate with anyone else.
He had been married to her only because of his mother . His mother wanted him to marry her and his father being his utmost priority, he didn’t think if disobeying him.
Before the two of them started their married life, they had dealt with each other of never giving this relation the true meaning. They decided to behave like a happy, married couple in front of their families just for their sake parents who were very happy of their marriage.
“Do you understand when I say that dinner is ready?”, she asked barging inside the room furiously. Kabir threw his files on the bed and angrily walked towards her. He cornered her to the wall shocking her by the proximity between them and said, “Sanchi, don’t act like my wife. You know you aren’t one.”
She looked at him and pushing him away said, “Even you don’t try to act like my husband. Stay in your limits. Come down and have dinner. Maa has been calling you since long”, she completed and went downstairs with Kabir following her.

The next morning, kabir woke up early as usual. He was an early riser and the mornings were his time to keep him updated about the current affairs and at times about his schedule for the day.
He had been into his IPad for a while checking the current affairs when he heard the sound of unlocking a door. He looked up from his IPad towards the couch, the place where sanchi slept to realise that all this while she had been missing from there.
He looked at the direction from where he had heard the sound of unlocking the door and saw his so-called wife coming out. He followed her as she went and stood in front of the dressing table.
He looked at her carefully. ‘What was it that has been making me feel attracted towards her?’, he thought looking at her. He noticed the water droplets slowly fall down from her wet hair and trail down her exposed back.
‘How come I’ve never noticed that she’s so beautiful?’ Kabir thought all to himself, but the next instant shooed his thoughts away. ‘I can never fall for this egoistic girl.’, he thought and looked back into his IPad.
Kabir had never admired Sanchi’s qualities and neither did she admire his. The only quality the two of them admired of each other’s was the way they had instantly accepted the families as their own.
Kabir, I am going to the temple on maa’s insistence. Don’t tell anyone you don’t know where am I if they ask you about me”, she said and walked out of the room without giving him a second to reply.
He sighed thinking about the way they had been dealing with each other since the last few months. He was disturbed by the fact that all this while they had just been giving their families false hopes regarding this marriage.

“kabir”, Sanchi muttered as he looked up from his IPad. He arched his eyebrows trying to ask what. “Maa is calling you down to give you the offering”, she said and he looked back into his IPad.
“Maa is calling you down”, she repeated herself, but he didn’t care. She walked towards him and sat down on the bed beside him. She took the IPad from his hands and walked to the other corner of the room and said annoyingly ” why are you always into this IPad..listen to me at least once!”
“Sanchi, give that back to me”, he shouted chasing her. Kabir had been running after her for the past few minutes to get his Ipad back, but it wasn’t to any avail. Sanchi had been running around the room laughing her heart out and enjoying the current scenario.
“Sanchi , give me the Ipad back. I need to go to the hospital as well”, he said motioning towards her and as he was about to corner her to the wall, she pushed him away and climbed upon the bed. “Go down first”, she remarked crossing her arms across her chest while kabir was proceeding towards her.
He tried to snatch the Ipad from her hand and in the process both of them fell down on the bed with her on top of him . He removed Sanchi’s hair from her face carefully and tucked the hair strands behind her ear.
Sanchi could only smell his perfume and it smelled absolutely brilliant. She looked at him and was lost in his deep brown eyes which reflected a mix of emotions. It was tough to understand his feelings.
Sanchi was on top of him when Savitri entered their room and let out a chuckle. He looked up at his mother and both immediately parted away. He snatched the Ipad from her hand when Kusum said, “Kabir, come down.”
Sanchi too got up from the bed in the meanwhile and adjusted her saree being embarrassed. Kabir adjusted his tie and said, “I’m coming.” Kusum nodded and went downstairs while the two of them glared at each other angrily and Kabir picking up his coat walked out of the room.
‘What’s gotten into me? Why didn’t I stop him when he touched me?’, thought Sanchi . She too had been going through the same dilemma Kabir had been for the past few days. She felt an unknown bond towards him which made her change her attitude towards him.
She hadn’t been behaving the same way she used to just after they had been married. ‘Have I started loving him?’, she thought for a while, but it seemed like impossible to her. ‘I never can’, she mumbled and went down to help Kusum in the household work.

Later in the day, Sanchi had been humming a song while arranging her cupboard when she received a call. She checked her phone and found kabir to be the caller. She picked up the call and said, “Yes?”
After a matter of seconds she replied, “What would I do in your business meeting Mr. Malhotra?” She had been arrogant enough in spite of him talking to her politely. “I’ll be ready by 7”, she replied again.
“Sorry”, she muttered just before disconnecting so that she didn’t have to face any queries from his side. Apologising to him hadn’t been a great deal for her lately as it used to be before. It didn’t hurt her ego.
___
The clock struck 7 as Kabir entered the house searching for Sanchi. “Maa, where’s Sanchi?”, he asked shouting. “I’m ready”, she replied climbing down the stairs adjusting her wrist watch.
He looked towards the staircase and she looked absolutely gorgeous in the black and golden saree she had chosen for the evening. He couldn’t take his eyes off zz. Things had surely been changing now. He who couldn’t tolerate her in front of his eyes, couldn’t take his eyes off her now.
She snapped her fingers in front of him and asked, “Aren’t you getting late? I hurried up only because you told me you would be late otherwise.” “Yes, let’s leave”, he replied and both of them left towards the car.
The journey in the car had been quite as it always had been whenever they were alone together. But some things had surely changed. Stealing glances of each other was something new both of them had been doing all the while until they reached the venue.
___
“1.5 crores”, the auction began as Kabir bid the value. “2 crores”, Mr. Birla remarked. The auction had been going at a really good pace.
“5 crores”, remarked Mr. Birla again thinking it to be the last time. The auction had come to a still unless Kabir bid, “6 crores.” Sanchi looked at him shocked while Mr. Birla bid, “6.5.” Kabir was about to bid a higher value when Sanchi held his hand tightly not allowing him to continue the auction anymore.
___
“What do you think of yourself?”, Kabir shouted throwing his coat on the bed as they entered the room. “kabir , listen to me for once. I’ve done this for your betterment”, Sanchi pleaded.
He turned towards her and tightly held her by the shoulders. “Do you understand that I’d been waiting for this meeting for the past one year and now when I had the chance to finalise the deal Mrs. no, no, Ms. Sanchi MISHRA comes out of nowhere to destroy everything”, he shouted at her. She looked at him painfully hearing the words `Ms. sanchi Mishra` from him. “kabir,..”, she started, but he interrupted shouting, “Leave my room, it was better if I hadn’t taken you with me.”
“Kabir!”, she muttered softly yet, painfully. “I said leave”, he shouted and pushed her out of the room. He closed the door on her face and the tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn’t understand that why all this had been mattering to her when she should’ve been actually happy for getting some time alone for her and most importantly she could stay away from kabir at least for a night.
She walked towards the guest room to spend her lonely and painful night. She settled down on the bed and reminisced kabir’s words. “I was doing it for you”, she mumbled letting the tears roll down. She cried thinking about the evening and after a while she felt asleep.
___
The next day, she was in their room sitting on the bed thinking about the previous evening. ‘Did I do a mistake by not allowing him to make the deal? But that land didn’t even cost a crore and he was going up till 6.5 .’, she thought as kabir barged inside the room.
She looked up at him and wondered why he was home so early. “kabir?”, she muttered as he tightly hugged her and said, “That land was worthless. Mr. Sinha fooled all of us. Thank you for saving our company from suffering this huge loss.” Kabir completed making her smile.
He pulled back quickly and pecked her right cheek. Sanchi looked at him shocked as he tried ignoring any kind of eye contact with her. ‘Would she feel bad about it?’, thought Kabir . Sanchi hurriedly left the room to avoid the awkwardness that had been created between them with Kabir calling her from behind.
Precap= Will they realize their love for each other?
