In the evening, when Kabir returned home after a long, tiring day, he found Sanchi in the kitchen. He had been missing her all day long and wondered why. He went to their room and called for her, but she kept on ignoring him.
“Beta, kabir is calling you”, Kusum said seeing her son’s continuous efforts. “Maa, I need to knead the dough. Will you please listen to what he’s saying?”, Sanchi replied politely. “It’s okay beta. I’ll listen to what he’s saying”, she said and walked out of the kitchen to listen to her son.
“What happened?”, Kusum asked entering the room. “Maa, I was calling Sanchi”, he complained. Kusum smiled and sat down on the bed beside him. “You love her nah?”, she asked. He looked at her confused. ‘Was it really love or was it just an attraction?’, he thought and laid down on kusum’s lap. She caressed his hair.
“I don’t know maa. I don’t know what’s love. The only thing I know is there is something special in her. May be it’s just an attraction. I keep wondering about her all day long, I miss her in the hospital, I’m happy when she’s around me and restless when she isn’t. I like everything about her maa whether it’s her ego or her kindness. Whether it’s her hatred towards her enemies or her care for her loved ones. If this is what love is, then I’m surely in love with her”, he completed as Kusum smiled. “I’m happy that you’ve loved the girl we’ve chosen for you”, she said caressing his hair and he got up with a jerk.
“Do you mean I’m in love with Sanchi? Do you mean to say that all this is happening because of love?”, he asked curiously. Kusum nodded and smiled at him. “Okay, I need to go now. I’ll try to send your wife and then the two of you can spend your own quality time”, kusum said getting up from the bed. “Maa!”, exclaimed kabir embarrassed.

After dinner, Sanchi went to their room after she cleared the table. She entered the room and found it empty. She tip-toed and quickly grabbed her pillow and blanket from the bed. She walked over to the couch and placed them quickly so as to not bother Kabir.
She turned around to take out her night wear from the wardrobe when Kabir came and stood in front of her. She widened her eyes and looked at him shocked. ‘Why is he here?’, she thought fakely smiling at him.
He placed his hands on her waist and pulled her closer to himself. Her hands rested on his chest and she looked at him blankly. ‘What is he trying to do now at this hour of the night!’, she thought as he caressed her face.
“Kabir ”, she stammered while he softly muttered an apology. “For?”, she asked. “Actually..”, he hesitated and tucked the hair strands that had been falling on her face behind her ear. She closed her eyes and asked, “Actually what Kabir ? For the morning?”
He nodded and Sanchi added, “It’s okay. Mistakes happen.” Kabir loosened his grip over her as Sanchi freed herself and went to change.
‘She named my love a mistake? Does she think it was all a mistake? Is she confused about her feelings too? I think so. I’ll do anything to make you realise your feelings Sanchi. I promise.’, he thought laying down on the bed.
Sanchi changed and laid down on the couch. ‘I wonder what has been happening to me! His touch seems to be creating some magic on me. Infatuation is something really very interesting.’, she thought and soon the two of them fell asleep with different thoughts in their minds.

The next day, kabir returned from his office early. He had decided to spend most of his free time with Sanchi to help her realise her feelings.
Sanchi was reading a novel when Kabir entered the room. “Sanchi!”, he remarked. Sanchi looked up from the book and asked, “How are you home so early?” “I’m done with my work so, I thought of coming back”, he replied leaning against the wall. “Hmm”, Sanchi replied and continued reading her novel.
‘Did I come back early to see her reading this novel?’, kabir thought and moved towards the couch. He sat beside her and took the book away from her hand. “kabir, give the book to me”, she said, but kabir hid the book behind his back and replied, “You can read these books in the morning too. Now, I need to talk to you.”
Sanchi looked at him blankly wondering what he would talk to her when he said, “Would you come for a concert with me?” Sanchi jumped in excitement and replied, “Of Course. I would love to.” “Here are the tickets. Be ready by 7”, kabir replied.

Sanchi stood in front of the wardrobe wondering what to wear when someone brought a pink saree in front of her. She turned around and saw Kabir holding an elegant pink saree in front of her. “This is so beautiful”, she remarked taking the saree from his hands. “Not more than you”, he mumbled to himself, but it was audible enough for Sanchi to hear and turn a light shade of crimson.
___
Sanchi and kabir reached the venue where the concert had already begun. Sanchi frowned upon it, but slowly she was enjoying the concert. “My favourite song”, she told squeezing kabir’s palm who had been busy glancing her since they’d been attending the concert.
“Which song?”, he curiously asked and Sanchi replied, “Kabhi Jo Baadal Barse. Have you heard it?” He nodded his head in a no. ‘Currently I had only two tasks in my regular schedule. One, my work and second, admiring you’, he thought and smiled to himself.
___
It had been two weeks since kabir had been returning home earlier to spend some time with Sanchi. The two of them enjoyed in each other’s company and their relation had grown stronger over the time. Kabir meant more than a friend to Sanchi , but little did she know that he was the person for whom she’d do anything in future.
___
One day, sanchi had been waiting for Kabir to return to have dinner along with him as she always did. He had been late that day compared to the other days. She called him, but he disconnected the call. Sanchi was sad. She had become used to spend the evenings along with him.
He returned home at around 1 that day and found Sanchi asleep on the sofa. He slowly walked towards her and admired her beauty, her cuteness, her innocence and everything. He had completely fallen in love with Sanchi , the girl whom he never expected to hold even a little place in his life.
He picked her up in his arms and climbed up the stairs. He entered their room and gently placed her on the bed, a place where he always wanted Sanchi to be, just beside him. He kissed her forehead and walked over to the couch to sleep for the night because he didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable when she would wake up beside him the next morning.
___
The entire of next week Kabir had been busy with some foreign clients and consequently he couldn’t return home earlier. She waited for him everyday and usually fell asleep on the sofa. He would then pick her up from there and lay her down on the bed.
It had been four days now and this was the last day that Kabir would be keeping so busy. Sanchi owed to stay awake till he returns by doing anything, but sleeping.
She had been reading a magazine for a while when she read an interesting fact. It said, ‘If you want to find whom you’re in love with, you should close your eyes and the first person you see in front of your eyes is the person whom you love.’
Sanchi excitedly closed her eyes and saw Kabir smiling at her. “kabir?”, she mumbled. “Sanchi, again a problem”, he replied. She frowned and arched her eyebrows to ask what was it. “Sanchi, the problem is that you’ve fallen in love with me”, he said and Sanchi smiled. Her imagination slowly faded away as she opened her eyes with a huge, satisfied smile spread across her face.
‘Kabir, I love you! Am I not dumb to understand this so late? I love you’, she thought and twirled around in the hall. She bumped into someone and looked up to find Kabir smiling at her antics. “Dinner?”, she asked. He nodded his head and both of them had a quality time.
___
Days passed by and sanchi and Kabir’s love for each other had been growing stronger over the time. They liked each other’s company, they admired each other. Everything seemed to be different. It seemed as if they were living a completely new life with each other.
___
One fine day kabir decided to take Sanchi on a date, a date where he decided to confess his feelings and his love for her. He didn’t care if sanchi didn’t love him back, but he wanted to express his heart out to her no matter what.
He planned everything for the evening, but to their misfortune it had started pouring heavily. They couldn’t go out for their date. Sanchi didn’t have the slightest clue of the destination and was pretty happy seeing it pouring. She went out in the rain to enjoy herself as she had always done.
Kabir stood inside watching her, but he couldn’t control his desires and wants for long. He was mesmerised on seeing the love of his life so happy. ‘She looked even more prettier in the drenched state, enjoying herself in the rain.’, he thought and walked out to the open terrace attached to their room.
He walked towards and pulled her closer. He placed his arms over her waist and her hands were placed on his shoulder. She was humming a song. “You look beautiful”, he whispered moving close to her. She blushed a little which wasn’t visible in the darkness of the night. He tightened his grip on her waist and pulled her even closer. He asked permission through his eyes and she closed her eyes in approval.
He slowly licked the water from her lips and the two of them were soon engaged in a slow and passionate kiss. They pulled back after a while when Sanchi seemed to be out of breath. She quickly hugged kabir and he hugged her back. “I love you”, both of them whispered together and smiled to themselves.
