Shivam closes the shower knob.
Shivam ; Are you okay Sajeeri ?
Sajeeri ; Yeah Shivam Ji. When I saw you have fell down in mud I rushed to save you ..But..
Shivam : It’s alright . Thanks
Sajeeri : For what ?
Shivam : You always takes care off me and some times I just gets anger and I ….From now onwards I will try to control my anger ….And you may please change your saree. Because just now only you are recovered from fever. If you stay in wet dress long it will affect your health.
Sajeeri nods her head and she opened her hair strands.
Shivam and Sajeeri looked each other’s eyes….Shivam was mesmerized to see her in loose hair …He looked her intensely.
Shivam : You looks absolutely beautiful in open hair ….
Meanwhile Vikram and Nalini opened the bathroom lock from outside…
Nalini : Hope you both had enjoyed bathing together.
Shivam and Sajeeri felt so much embarrased.
Shivam : Maa aap kya keh rahi hein ? Aisi baatein ….
Vikram : Beta , aise mauke naa baar baar nahin milta….Enjoy it….
Shivam : Paapa, Maa ..you both have become very naughty ….I mean at least think about that you are my parents and your age ….
Nalini : Toh tum mujhe buddhi amma bulana chahte ho ?
Sajeeri laughed..
Shivam : No….Maa I didn’t mean that….
Vikram : Shivam door has been opened. And we didn’t see anything..
They goes away.
Shivam : I think both are crazy ….
Sajeeri : No they are very romantic . …..You are so lucky that your parents are so caring and friendly towards you..
Shivam ; Why me alone ? My parents are your parents also …..Right ? And you always get special attention from them….
Sajeeri : Are you feeling jealous ?
Shivam : Shivam and jealousy !! No ways…..Just that I missed my dish….You may please change your dress. I will be back soon.
Shivam walks away….
After some time
Sajeeri stood before the mirror and recalled the way Shivam looked her . She waved her loose hair and smiled
Meri Saadgi se andaaz alag tumhara
Yun hi bana rahe ..
Meetha Khatta Pyaar Hamara [2]
Meanwhile Shivam comes there and he looks on Sajeeri with a smile
Dil kee iradon se hum
Har din ho bahara
Khatti Meethi baaton se Badhe rishta hamara
Sajeeri sat at the chair before the dressing table . She started making hair strands but soon she screamed in pain.
Shivam : What happened Sajeeri ?
Sajeeri : I think that burning wound hasn’t healed fully .
Shivam ; Then why you are making hair strands ? Aise hi rehne do naa…
Sajeeri : I too like it Shivam Ji. But hair strands makes me feel connected with my Baaba….
Shivam : Then I will make it..
Sajeeri : Aap !!
Shivam : Why not ? Itna bhi risky kaam nahin hein …I am sure I can make it…May I ?
Sajeeri nodded her head with a smile.
Shivam started making hair strands . They both looked each other
Meri Saadgi se andaaz alag tumhara
Yun hi bana rahe ..
Meetha Khatta Pyaar Hamara [2]
Shivam : I have some work ….
Shivam took his laptop and tried his level best to not look Sajeeri. Sajeeri goes from kitchen.
Shivam thought : What is happening to me ? Why I am staring Sajeeri these much ? Oh Come on I am her husband and there is nothing wrong if I stared her….But what Sajeeri will think about me ? Did she felt hurt because I said her to stay in open hair…..Sshh….Some times I just utters what I feels without thinking anything….but…I should focus on my work now …
Shivam was much involved in work without bothering time. After a hectic work schedule he was feeling so much head ache. He just closed his eyes and leaned back. Suddenly he felt the soft touch at his head’s back which made him feel good.
Sajeeri ; How do you feel now Shivam Ji ?
Shivam : Much better….Your hands are magical…I felt much relief when you did head massage…
Sajeeri : I will bring tea for you . It will make you feel more good.
Shivam : Sajeeri !! I know you have so many expectations and I only told you not to keep any hopes. But now I feel our relationship has lot of hopes…
Sajeeri : Shivam Ji!!
Shivam : See I can’t extend my arms right now and could say magical words before you….All of a sudden I can’t do it…But trust me I can certainly become a good husband for you…I never asked you do you have any concepts regarding your husband ? If please tell me I will correct myself.
Sajeeri : There is no need of corrections Shivam Ji….Be yourself always and the way time and our mind tells us how we have to work on our relationship we just need to go with that flow only…..And there is no need to pretend anything…..Even I also stare you ….May be our eyes better speak to each other rather than our words.
Shivam ; I believe we can be good friends first ….Will you be my friend?
He extended his hand towards her
Sajeeri : Yes.
Shivam : Mmhh….Can we go for an outing ? We will spend some time together and get to know about each other…
Sajeeri : Yeah..But Maa , Paapa
Shivam : You only told they are very romantic. So they will be very happy.
Sajeeri blushed with a smile. Shivam also smiled.
Sajeeri shared her happiness with Nalini. Nalini hugged her
Nalini : I am so happy now. Finally my son is realizing your space in his life….Waise Sajeeri from now onwards you don’t need to tell small small things to me….Shivam is not just your husband he is everything to you…..A husband takes care off his wife like his parents, loves as life partner and walks together as friend and advises as big brother or sister. Do you understand ?
Sajeeri :Ji !! I told you because you are like my mother and it was you who bought me here…..Paapa Ji..
Nalini ; Sajeeri He will be super happy ….You both enjoy and make it as romantic date….Okay …
Shivam and Sajeeri goes for outing. Both of them goes for movie and enjoyed watching it.
Sajeeri : The movie was nice. I loved that scene especially when hero was impressing heroine by playing guitar ….Shivam Ji do you know to play guitar ?
Shivam :,Not much. But during college days I used to do so. But not for impressing girls …. I mean at arts fest I used to participate in competetions.
Sajeeri ; So my dear friend now I really wish to listen your guitar’s tune.
Shivam :Okay ….As your wish friend.
Shivam played guitar before Sajeeri. She felt much happy
Shivam and Sajeeri goes to restaurant for having dinner. But unfortunately the food was very spicy and Sajeeri felt much difficult in having food. Her eyes became almost red in pain . She closed her eyes ..
Shivam : Sajeeri ..Oh no these much irritation at your eyes. You should have told me before ordering.
Sajeeri : I am not a habitat of spicy foods. I too ate it because you likes it very much.
Shivam hold her hand
Shivam : Sajeeri calm down. I will take you to wash room. Better sprinkle some drops of cold water.
Sajeeri : Shivam Ji I am not able to move….It’s so paining..
Shivam sat near her and slowly he wiped her eyes with tissues with the cold water placed there.
Sajeeri looked herself in phone and said : Oh no I looks like a cry baby now…It’s so boring.
Shivam smiled and said : Not at all. You always looks cute .
Sajeeri ; You are also very cute…Always ..
They both smiles
While returning home Shivam was almost fell asleep . Sajeeri held his face towards her shoulder.
Shivam started murmuring in sleep : You are so good Sajeeri . I like you very much. But only one thing which I don’t like is ….
Sajeeri : I know my hair strands…
Shivam ; No….It’s your preference. I just want to say there is no need of doing it always. Some times it’s good to see you in open hair too. But it’s totally upon your preference.
Sajeeri : Then what ? Shivam Ji
Shivam : This Ji !! We are friends and have you ever heard a friend calling friend as Ji? Just cut off that Ji…Please.
Sajeeri : Okay Shivam..
Shivam : That’s better…I love….
Sajeeri : What ?
Shivam ; I mean I loved this …You calling me Shivam….It sounds so lovely when you takes my name….Mujhe na tum jaisi hi cute see beti chahiye …..Aur phir dekhna mein uske baal bana dungi….do do choteeyan….How cute it would be …
