Suvarna's POV.

I turned in bed trying to find a comfortable position. After couple of minutes I tried again and groaned as the bed remained uncompromising as ever. It has been like this almost the entire night. I have hardly been able to sleep.

I know I should not be blaming the bed when it's me who has been feeling so restless. I smiled remembering the reason for my restlessness. I glanced at my right hand.

S.M

I am wearing his initials! Thinking about the happenings of the previous day I bite my lip and close my eyes letting the happy feeling wash over me.

Closing my eyes does not help as Shishir's happy face comes into my mind. He had been grinning like an idiot almost through out after that.

It's his fault that I am in this half asleep state. When I finally managed to push him inside his room and ran to mine and bolted it from inside I had thought he would let us both rest.

But no! No sooner had I changed and snuggled into my bed my phone rang!

***Last night***

I smiled as I saw the name on my screen.

Cucumber Mafia.

I should be changing his display name in my contact I chuckled to myself as I punched the answer button.

'Hey Meri Zindagi' came his voice before I could utter a word making me smile wider than before as I remembered that was how he had me in his contact.

I fought away the smile and tried to sound sleepy and stern "Hello? Who is this?" I said pretending not to know who has called.

"Little teddy bear?" he responded, his smile evident in his voice.

"What do you want?"

"Three pots of honey." He chuckled and I gave up pretending and laughed softly.

"You still remember this game we used to play?" I asked.

"Of course love, I have not forgotten anything." He said and I could imagine him to be smiling.

"So why did you call really?" I probed laying my head down on pillow and switched off the bedside lamp.

"To hear your sexy voice."

I almost sat back up - sexy voice?

"Shishir!" I reprimanded as my cheeks went warm.

"Are you blushing?" I heard him laugh and huffed.

"No! I am about to disconnect the call." I stated.

"If you do that I will come to your room."

"I have locked it." I said triumphantly.

"I have the key." He retorted. "I am on my way."

"Shishir No!" I said frantically "I am sleepy. I will see you in the morning."

I heard him laugh "Relax sweetheart. I am joking." Then after a short pause "But I do want to snuggle with you while sleeping."

"Shishir Mehrotra don't be naughty."

"Suvarna Sharma I will one day have the licence to be naughty with you." he said sounding hushky.

"Shishir Goodnight." Squeaked and disconnected the call.

Within seconds my phone buzzed and I lifted it to see text from Shishir 'What will you do when your initials actually become same as mine?'

I felt my heart race as I read this. Then remembering what he had said right after we had put on the bands on each other I smiled and texted 'We are not yet even betrothed, so what exactly are you talking about?'

'Soon my love, soon you will know what I am talking about.'

***Present time***

I shook my head thinking back how he had continued to text and call late into the night leaving me restless and craving to be beside him.

I sighed and got up giving up on trying to sleep any more. The bedside clock revealed it was only half past six in the morning.

Everyone must be still asleep. I stepped out of my room wondering what to do. Remembering I had not collected my clean clothes from the laundry room I went in.

I sighed when I saw the mess the room was in. Not surprisingly owning to the happenings of the past few days. I started sorting the clothes and I realised who most of the clothes belong to.

He is so careless I thought feeling irritated as I stepped inside his room with his bundle of clothes. They have been lying in the laundry room God knows since when but this man does not even bother to bring them to his room.

His bed is empty, just as I had expected. He must be already in the gym.

I picked up the bunch of towels from the bundle and went inside the bathroom to keep them.

Carefully I placed them on shelf and shook my head. "Not even one towel had been here for him to dry himself after bathing!" I muttered to myself.

I turned around towards the door but frowned when I saw steam coming from the direction of shower. I looked in that direction and gasped in shock to see a grinning Shishir.

A grinning bare chested Shishir.

He had been in here taking a shower?!

My eyes widened in shock and I shut it tightly not wanting them to wander on him as the thought occurred to me.

There had been no towel in here.

Oh God!

Even with my eyes closed I could feel his presence near me and immediately shut my eyes tighter.

"Did you want something Suvi?" The devil asked obviously laughing at my predicament.

"I hd cm t kp twls" I gritted between teeth.

"What did you say?" He asked And I felt his voice come from very close to my ears and kept my eyes and mouth shut.

"Sweetheart I could not make out the gibberish." He said I and I wanted to hit him.

I took a deep breath wanting to calm myself but instead got a strong wiff of combined smell of his deodorant and aftershave and sucked in my breath.

With effort I tried again "Towels!" I blurted "I had come to keep towels."

"Thank you love." He says tracing a finger on my chin and I tried to swat his hand away with my eyes still closed and ended up hitting his chest.

His bare chest.

His bare wet chest.

I gasped and removed my hand only to have it gripped by a strong one and felt myself be pushed to a wall.

"Why do you have your eyes closed?" He asked his breath fanning my ear.

"Because you-" I started to say before clamping my mouth shut. I cannot possibly say that

"Because?" he asked softly.

I shook my head vigorously.

"You will not say?" he asked.

I shook my head again and pointed in the direction of the towel shelf with my eyes still closed.

"Because you are not sure if I have a towel around me?" he asked kissing my cheek and I jerked my head away.

"Open your eyes and find out." He challenged and I could feel my cheeks warm up.

Suvi you silly girl how do you manage to get yourself in these awkward situations?

"One day you will have to-" he started to say and I squinted opened half a eye taking care not to look at him and bolted from the bathroom after pushing him away slightly.

I had just reached his room when I felt his hand hold my hand from behind and pull me back. "I have now put on a towel." He said brushing my ear with his lips.

He turned me around and put his finger on my chin making me open my eyes "Much as I want to- I will not do anything to make you uncomfortable, or against your will." He said softly stroking my cheek with the back of his hand.

"But-" he continued as he pulled me towards his closet "-you will have to help me chose what I am going to wear today."

As I started looking around thinking what to choose for him he put his hand around my waist "Just a fair warning" he said and I looked at him in confusion as he poined a finger in a particular direction "You may want to avoid opening those drawers."

"Why?" I asked immediately curious.

"They have my -titbits" he laughed and I almost face palmed myself for being so stupid.

"Titbits?" Paresh's voice rang out and I gave a mortified gasp. How does he manage to snoop at us at such awkward situations?

"What brings you to my room so early you rouge?" Shishir laughed at him not perturbed at all.

"I just came to borrow a pair of shoes." He said and picked up one "You both continue. Please ignore me." He grinned and Shishir fake punched him in the air.

"Don't keep food stuff- titbits in your room." the brat said as he went out. "And bhaiya do put on some clothes. The towel looks ready to fall off"

I groaned into my palm "Why do I always end up in such situations?" I wailed making Shishir laugh.

Shishir's POV.

I glanced up from my plate as I heard Sumo's Nanuji raise his voice and talk into his phone.

"Anju, I am her grandfather. You do not need to worry about anything. I will take care of everything." He said before disconnecting the phone obviously quite unhappy with whatever conversation had occurred.

I felt Suvi tense as she ate her breakfast beside me.

What could Anju Mami be saying that got Nanu so angry? Obviously Suvi is tensed thinking about it too.

Will she be creating problems for us? I don't really see any reason for her to do so- but what if she does try?

I kept on thinking about it after finishing breakfast and moving away from the table. I heard Suvi's phone ring and from her expression knew who was calling - Anju Mami.

She went inside her room before answering and I clenched my palms into a fist. I did not want to invade in Suvi's privacy and make her uncomfortable but I cannot let her face any problem alone.

I decide to go in her room after a few minutes- giving her time to talk to her aunt and then ensure she is not upset.

Five minutes later I enter and see her sitting on her bed, leaning back. Her damp face made me grit my teeth in anger.

If that lady continues to make my woman cry I will forget she is Suvi's Aunty and ensure she has no contact with her.

I sat down on the bed near Suvi's feet and looked at her "What did she say?" I asked getting to the point immediately.

"You are rich- very rich." Suvi said staring blankly at the wall ahead. Her words made me frown.

My being rich is objectionable to her aunty?

"How is that bothering your aunty- or anyone?" I asked.

"You were listed in the Forbes list of richest men of the world." She said looking at me.

"So?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Where was all this getting to?

"I did not know that Shishir" she said softly and a sob escaped her "I promise you I did not."

"Suvi!" I said moving closer to her and holding her palms with my hand "What really happened?" I asked and almost instantly I knew what was wrong.

"Your Aunty thinks you are trying to get to me for my money." I said humourlessly, a blind rage building within me.

Is the lady blind? She does not know her own niece? I saw Suvi's bend head and moved to sit beside her and put my arm around her.

"Sweetheart look at me." I coaxed and put my finger on her chin and made her look at me "I started earning a lot of money even before I became a lawyer. Thanks to my- innovative and unique tactics to handle cases a lot of big companies and also rich men stared looking out for my services and kept me in their advisory panel. I chose not to be bound by any contract and hence was working for many at one go." I explained "A lot is often at stake for big shots and to get their backs off trouble while staying within legal boundaries they are ready to pay fortunes."

"Every penny I have is my own- I have never bothered about my families money." I continued "And you my love don't need to marry me to get all that."

She frowned in confusion at my last words.

"Sweetheart I am a lawyer- so of course I already have my will ready even while I am very young." I said looking straight into her eyes. "And you Suvarna Sharma are the sole beneficiary to everything I own. You have always been- even the years we were not together."

I smiled as I saw her eyes widen and pulled her for a hug.

I hope the chapter has been a good read. Did you all remember their Caller IDs for each other?- haha!

Anju Mami had to do something! Shishir is not taking any chances but do you think he will be able to keep the lady from hurting Suvi further?

Please do vote and comment guys.

Love from me to you.:)

Pre cap chapter 77.

Anju's POV.

I get down from the auto, taking care Prema does not see I am following her. The girl has been upto something since past few days.

I know she has come here to meet someone but she lied to me saying she is going for her classes! Does she think she can fool her mother?

Hiding myself behind a huge cutout outside a shop I watch her. A gasp escapes me as I see a man come to her and she breaks into a happy smile and hugs him!

I step back horrified as I realise it is the same man I had seen on T.V some days back - I can never mistake that brinjal like hair style!

Enjoy guys!

Buh bye till next time.
