Pranati stood there shocked. This was the last thing she had expected to hear from him.

"Say something."

He said nervously. She looked at her parents who were looking at them with a soft smile. Her mother nodded at her. She turned to look at him and jumped in his arms hugging him tight. She hid her face in his neck and cried. But this time the tears were of love and happiness.

"I love you. I have always loved you. Bhut pyaar krti hu mai aapse."

(I love you a lot.)

She said and he hugged her tighter. She couldn't believe this was real. She had dreamed of it since 7 years. They pulled back hearing hooting sounds. She wiped her tears and blushed looking down. He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead.

"Oyee. Approve kr dia iska matlab ye nhi kuch bhi karoge. Haath muhh kaabbu mai rakho apne."

(I approved doesn't mean you will do anything. Stay in your limits.)

Her father glared at him and she chuckled. Sahil gave him a nervous smile and muttered a sorry. He laughed and patted his back. Everyone blessed them and the youngsters teased them.

She looked at Sahil who was already looking at her. He winked at her and she turned her face away blushing. She still couldn't believe that she was not dreaming.

**************************************

It had been two days since Pranati's birthday and since they confessed. Right now she was sitting in her cabin doing her work when someone barged in. Knowing very well who it was Pranati continued to do her work.

Suddenly her chair was turned around and pulled. There he was. Hovering over her keeping his hands on the armrests of the chair. He leaned in a pressed an open-mouthed kiss near her neck and then softly kissed her cheek. She clutched his shirt in her fists.

"Don't ignore me."

He said in a complaining tone and she chuckled. She cupped his face and pecked his nose. He smiled at her and gave her his hand. She took his hand and got up. He encircled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Swaying their bodies together, she kept her head on his chest and his head above hers.

"Go on a date with me?"

"Huh!?"

"A lunch date. Abhi?"

(Now?)

She pulled back and looked at him amused. 'Why was he sounding nervous.' she thought and mentally chuckled. She thought to tease him a bit. Biting her lips she said.

"Lunch ok. But date. Nope."

"Kyu?"

(Why?)

He looked so cute with that confused look and furrowed eyebrows. She wanted to laugh at his expression but controlled herself.

"Kyunki date par girlfriend ya wife ko le jaaya jaata hai."

(Because one takes his girlfriend or wife on a date.)

"Haan toh. Tu meri girlfriend hai na? Do din pehle hi toh humne confess kiya?"

(Yes so. You are my girlfriend right? We just confessed teo days ago?)

He told more like questioned her.

"Exactly. Confess kiya. Propose nhi. Toh i am still not your girlfriend."

(Confessed. Not propose.)

His mouth formed an 'ohh'. She bit her lip so stop the laugh. He saw her and narrowed his eyes at her. She was teasing him. He smirked.

He pulled her closer leaving no space between them. Their lips inches apart.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

He asked huskily. Her breathing faltered. She muttered a breathless 'Yes'. He pulled back still smirking. She regained her senses and punched his arm. He laughed and side hugged her kissing her head.

They went on their first date. Talking, flirting and teasing each other occasionally.

**************************************

It had been a month since they had started dating and Sahil had become extremely demanding, flirty and touchy. Right now they were in a meeting with a client they are trying to get a deal with.

Sahil was extremely pissed off because the man had been eyeing Pranati in a very bad way and she was completely oblivious to his stares. The meeting ended and Sahil was very thankful else he would surely have punched the man. The deal was to be finalised the next day and Sahil said that he would come to finalise everything.

Next day Pranati was sitting in her cabin when she heard the noise of something breaking. Thinking it to be mistake she went back to her work. She stood up to see what was happening when she heard the noise again. She opened the door and heard someone shouting.

"GET OUT!"

It was Sahil. She was shocked to hear him shout like this. A few seconds later Adarsh and Dev came out of his cabin looking very stressed. They saw her and sighed in relief. Adarsh held her hand and pushed her in his cabin's direction.

"Calm your hulk."

"Hua kya hai?"

(What has happened?)

She asked confused. Sahil had a very short temper and she was scared because he would start throwing things in his anger and sometimes even hurt himself.

"Pta nhi. Kuch bataye toh pta chle na. Jab se aaya hai bas cheeze tode jaa rha hai."

(Don't know. He doesn't tell anything. He is just breaking things since he returned.)

Adarsh said worriedly. Pranati took small, calculative steps and slowly opened the door. She went inside and closed the door. She looked around and saw broken glasses on the floor. She saw him standing near the wall and punching it in anger. She softly called his name.

"Sahil."

He turned around with red raging eyes. One look at her and his eyes softened. With a few quick strikes he came near her and pulled her in a tight hug. She immediately hugged him back. He put his arms around her waist and picked her up with her arms around his neck, his face in the crook of her neck and started moving towards the couch.

He sat on the couch with her on his lap sideways still not breaking the hug. She knew he needed this. They stayed like that for some time. His breathing started to calm. She pulled back slightly to look at him. His features were now calm.

Cupping his face she asked.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"Hum ye deal nhi kr rhe."

(We are not doing this deal.)

He said sternly. She nodded and kissed his forehead. He joined their foreheads. She knew something had happened otherwise he would not have reacted like this.

"Lekin achanak aisa kya hua jo aapko itna gussa aa gya ki deal cancel kr rhe hai. Kal tal toh sab thik tha na. Infact aaj subah bhi thik the. Fir."

(But suddenly what happened that you are so angry that you are cancelling the deal. Everything was fine yesterday. Even today morning. Then.)

She asked looking in his eyes. His eyes suddenly hardened and his jaw tightened.

"That fucking bastard. Uss kamine ko lagta hai that he is in a position to compromise with us. Ki wo kuch bhi kahega aur hum haan kr denge."

(That moron thinks that he is in a position to compromise with us. That he would say anything and we would listen.)

"Compromise? Aisa kya manga usne?"

(What did he ask?)

His hold on her waist tightened. He did not reply just closed his eyes as if murdering the man in his mind. She looked at him confused for a second but her eyes widened as she suddenly realised what he was talking about.

She cupped his face and he opened his eyes. She smiled at him and he found his lips curling into a small smile.

"Is he worth ki aap uspe apna time aur health kharab kre?"

(You waste your time and health on him?)

She asked softly. He scoffed and said.

"He is only worth my punches. Mann toh kar rha hai ki maar dalu saale ko."

(I just want to kill that moron.)

"As if aapne usse ek do punches toh maare hi nhi honge for saying so."

(As if you won't already gave him a punch or two.)

She rolled her eyes and he smiled sheepishly.

"Actually. Jyada."

(More.)

She laughed at this and he too joined. She was his peace. She knew just how to calm him down and bring him back to normal. And he loved her so much.
