The familiar arms hugged Somya from behind, claiming her waist. "Hey, naughty! What are you doing?" she gently rebuked him while concentrating on her cooking.

"Why didn't you wake me up yourself, instead a servant had to do it?" he complained with a hoarse voice. 

"You know that it's Sam's birthday today. I still have things to prepare for," she explained.

Mr. Varun Kashyap, who had always been an early bird, suddenly started sleeping till late. Because he loved to hear the sweet singing of his dear wife and her stirring him up with a sweet kiss every morning. But today, he woke up angrily because if he was not careful enough, he might have ended up kissing the servant.

All thanks to his wife's important work, which was just taking care of that Little Fella.
 
"You only care for him. You don't care for me anymore," he complained and hid his face in her hair, wailing like a cute abandoned puppy.

The innocent act melted Somya's heart, and she turned to console him. "No hubby...Mmmm..." but before she could utter anything, he lifted her chin to force a deep and passionate kiss as punishment.

"Cough!"
 They were interrupted by someone's coughing, and Somya caught her mother-in-law standing on the doorstep.

Seeing her mother-in-law standing in front of her, Somya felt like she could die of embarrassment.
 'How come my mother-in-law finds me doing such an act. Somya, you are done for! All thanks to this nice innuendo! huh!'
 She started glared at her husband after her mother took her leave. Somya lunged towards him to smack his shoulder.

But in the attempt, the flour on her hands ruined his shirt and they both tumbled on the floor, on top of each other.

Varun, being a smart Devil, grabbed the chance to lick Somya at all his favorite places. 

Hardly suppressing her moan, Somya reprimanded him by hitting his shoulder.
"Seriously! Who the hell licks raw dough? It isn't something sweet or tasty."

"Oh, honey! It's so sweet because you touched it. Let's continue what we were doing earlier." He attacked her lips with his, silencing her again. 

********************************
In a dark room, under the reflection of moonlight, a man was standing in his black cloak. He had golden eyes and was staring at the full moon in the sky. 

Hearing footsteps from behind, he turned to see Rahul standing there.

"I...locked her!" Rahul showed a key to him.

Looking at the key, Varun's eyes shone deep golden color before he closed them. After few moments, when his eyes returned to normal, he responded, "Good. Later no matter what happens, don't let her out."

"But will you be fine, by yourself? Let me join you. Somya isn't going to wake up anytime soon anyways."

"No need. Just take care of her for me," Varun replied in his chilly voice.

"Aren't we cheating on her by doing this? If anything happened to you, I won't be able to stand her curses," Rahul tried to stop him.

"I don't want my yesterday to affect our tomorrow. I had her room spelled. She won't be able to hear the charmer's voice unless you open the gates for her," Varun then started moving towards the door. 

Rahul sighed but didn't stop him.

"Rahul, you won't be getting the chance to hear her curses. They're only for me to hear," he heard him say.

As Long As You Are With Me

For the first time in history, Mr. Kashyap decided to break the ice himself.  "So, don't you have any questions about the men we faced yesterday?" 


This brought Somya's attention back to the events of the other day. Because of the matter with Ansh, she had completely forgotten that they were both almost killed yesterday. 


Now that she thinks about it, it was really strange to be attacked by someone for no reason and what's more that was a whole gang of people! 


Forgetting about her fury from earlier, she turned her head towards him, "Yeap! Who were they? And why did they did what they did? Is someone behind all this or were they, everyday robbers?" She blurted out many questions running in her head at once and was about to spout even more but he stopped her.


"First of all, listen to me," he hushed her. " I asked the police about it in the morning. They asserted that they were asked to kill us," he paused deliberately to see her expressions. 


In fact, he had brought this topic up just to settle her curiosity before it's born. He knew that as soon as her mind got out of the shit named 'Ansh' the first thing she would do would be to inquire him about this and it would be harder to feed her a lie by then. So why not do it now, leaving nothing to fear later. 


And it was a good topic to kill her silence as well. He never liked her being silent, he thought, completely forgetting that he is someone who remains silent most of the time.


His words made Somya's kajal-filled eyes go wide in a second. All sorts of wild thoughts started running in her mind. And she gave an expression of the 'Dayaben' from TMKOC saying, 'Hey Maa! Mataji!'


"K..killing!?! Who? Why? Whom? Me? What did I even do?!"


"Calm down," he said, pulling a leash on her galloping thoughts. Despite breaking such big news earlier his expressions were still composed. In any way, he didn't look like someone who escaped death a day before. 


"In their investigation, the police found that those men were commissioned to kill but not us. They mistook us for someone else and ambushed us in their stead. Don't worry, now they are all in jail and we have nothing to fear as we weren't their target, to begin with," he explained. 


Yes, this was the story he prepared along with Neel, his inspector friend, to report her. Thinking back about yesterday made his eyes narrowed, giving his face a dangerous look.


He had known that they were being followed since the time he heard traces of aligned footsteps and the scarce number of people on the streets. But he could not deal with them carelessly as he always does because she was there with him too. And even more, he couldn't explain the situation to her if he asks her to hide. So he chose to feign ignorance. 'Let's behave how a normal civilian would act in such situation.' 


When he ordered her to stay unnoticed, he really wished for her to follow his words but from inside he already knew that it would be too much for his bunny. After all, she was exactly the type of person who can't stay calm after seeing others in trouble. 


He had decided that if she stepped into this mess then he is going to solve it in his own way, hard and quick. If she saw it then she saw it. Hypnotism or bad dreams, he would just deal with the aftermath anyhow. 


But surprisingly it wasn't needed. She fought well, quite well for someone who doesn't even know how to hold a sword. And thus he was saved from racking his mind for making up another lie as well. 


Somya finally relaxed and even got a little delighted but she was still curious so she asked, "How could they attack us just like that? If they were going to kill someone shouldn't they confirm about them first! What would happen if they had actually killed us!"


"What could happen. If they had killed us then that's it," he chuckled.
