"Mujhe kuch pata chala hai tere baare mai."

(I got to know something about you.)

Naksh said in a typical parent tone and Mahir gulped.

"Kya pata chala hai?"

(What did you get to know?)

He asked cautiously. Naksh smirked and leaned back in his chair.

"Badi dostiyan ho rhi hai aaj kal teri. Nyra Singhania haan?"

(You are having a lot of friends.)

He teased and Mahir closed his eyes looking away.

"Aisa kuch nhi hai bhai. Just wanted to be friends."

(Its nothing like that bhai.)

Naksh nodded mockingly and said.

"Ofcourse. You stare at the person you want to be just friends with, with love sick eyes."

Mahir knew he could not get out of this without getting caught which he already was, so he turned the conversation on him.

"Pyaar toh tujhe ho gaya hai lag raha hai."

(You are in love bhai.)

"What rubbish!"

Naksh looked away and this time Mahir smirked.

"Haan haan ab toh rubbish hi lagega. Pakda jo gaya tu. Dekh raha hu mai sab. Kis tarah tere chehre par smile rehne lag gyi hai. Tu jab bhi usse milne jaata hai chehakte huye wapas aata hai. Pyaar ho gaya hai na Samaira se? Or should i start calling her Samaira bhabhi?"

(Yes now it would seem rubbish. You got caught. I am seeing everything. How you have started smiling. Whenever you meet her you come back smiling. You are in love with Samaira right?)

He teased and Naksh glared at him at the last statement. Though he liked it in his heart.

"Nonsense! Aisa kuch nhi hai. She is just my mission."

(Its nothing like that.)

He said the last part with a little difficulty. 

'Is she really just a mission to you?'

No she wasn't. But he was not going to accept it so easily.

Mahir's smile fell as a serious expression formed on his face.

"Keep denying it bhai. But ek baat yaad rakh. Bhut der mat karna. Tell her the truth and accept your true feelings for her before it's too late and you lose her forever."

(Remember one thing. Don't be very late.)

He said and left after giving him a small smile. Naksh kept sitting there thinking about what he said.

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

Another month had passed and both Samaira and Naksh have realised what they felt for each other. 

Samaira was so happy while Naksh was a little tensed not knowing how he was going to tell her the truth and how she was going to react.

He couldn't gain the courage to tell her.

They were sitting in her cabin after having lunch and were talking like usual and asking questions they didn't know about each other.

"Do you have any tattoos?"

He asked and she raised her eyebrows at him.

"Ye kaisa sawaal hai?"

(What kind of question is this?)

"Arre normal sa sawaal hai."

(A normal question.)

She looked at him and said.

"Don't you think that's too personal."

"Isme personal kya hai. I can tell you i have tattoos."

(What's personal in this.)

"Tattoos? As in plural?"

He nodded and started rolling up his sleeves.

He showed her the arrow tattoo he had there. She traced it softly and their eyes met. She pulled her hand back and asked.

"Iska matlab?"

(What does this mean?)

"Pata nhi. Shauk shauk mai banwaya tha. 18th birthday par. Phir mummy se jo jhaad padi thi."

(I don't know. I made it out of fun. And then got scolded my mummy.)

He chuckled remembering it and she smiled looking at him. 

"You love your mother a lot."

She said looking into his eyes and he leaned a little forward and whispered.

"A lot.'

She felt butterflies in her stomach at his tone. It seemed like he meant it more than just in one way. She moved back and said.

"Aur bhi hai?"

(There are more?)

He nodded and leaned back in his chair and pulled out his shirt from his pants. 

Samaira's eyes widened and she looked away.

"Ye kya kar rhe hai?"

(What are you doing?)

He chuckled and said.

"Tumhe tattoo dekhna tha na. Look."

(You wanted to see the tattoo.)

She looked at him and saw a small chevron tattoo on his waistline.

"Yaha kaun tattoo banwata hai?"

(Who gets a tattoo here?)

She mumbled and he looked at her naughtily.

"Want to trace?"

She hit his chest and he laughed loudly.

He then opened the buttons of his shirt and Samaira looked away.

"Why are you undressing in here?"

"Last one."

He said and she turned to him. There was a red rose tattoo over the left side of his chest.

Samaira noticed a small space that was empty over the rose.

"Ye khaali kyu chhudwaya hai?"

(Why is this empty?)

"Mahir ne dare diya tha kuch saal pehle. Ki jab bhi mujhe koi aisi milegi jiske saath apni life spend karne ka khayal aaye uska naam isme likhwau. Aur maine kaha tha ki ye hamesha khaali hi rahega."

(Mahir gave me a dare some years ago. That i write the name i want to spend my life with here. And i also said that it is going to remain empty.)

He said as he remembered their stupid dare.

"Ab aisa lag rha hai ki wo jeetne wala hai."

(Now i think he is going to win.)

He said and Samaira looked at him as their eyes locked in an intense eyelock. She didn't even notice he slipped his brother's name.

"Ek baat puchhu?"

(Shall i ask something?)

He asked lowly and she nodded still looking at his eyes.

"Agar ek din hum aise milna band karde. Baat karna band karde. Saare contacts toot jaaye. Toh tum kya karogi?"

(If one day we stop meeting. Stop talking. All comtacts are broken. What will you do?)

"Aisa kyu puchh rhe hai?"

(Why are you asking this?)

"Just answer me."

She got up and looked away mumbling.

"I don't know. And i don't like this question."

He went behind her and pulled her closer by her keeping a hand on her stomach and she turned and looked at him wide eyed.

"Happy to know mai akela nhi hu."

(Happy to know i am not alone.)

He whispered and joined their foreheads.

"What are you doing to me Samaira. I have never lost my control like this ever. Tumhari aadat lag gyi hai mujhe. Ek din bhi nhi milta toh incomplete sa lagta hai. It's making me crazy Samaira."

(I am addicted to you. If i don't meet you one day i feel incomplete.)

He whispered and she smiled.

"I love you Naksh. Pyaar ho gaya hai mujhe aapse."

(I have fallen in love with you.)

She whispered gaining the courage. He opened his eyes and looked at her. She had her eyes closed but a soft smile on her lips.

"You have become an important part of my life Samaira. A part i never want to lose. Ever."

She smiled more at his confession and looked into his eyes.

He smiled softly and caressed her cheek.

Her eyes went to his lips and then back to his eyes. Naksh caught the movement and his eyes too dropped to her lips as they leaned forward involuntarily.

None of them realised who covered the remaining distance but the next thing they knew was that their lips were on each other's and they were kissing each other.

Naksh pulled her closer and kissed her deeply by tilting her head more. Her hands went behind the nape of his neck.

He held her against a wall and held her hands above her head and she gasped. He took the opportunity and plunged his tongue inside. He caressed her tongue softly with his and she moaned.

They pulled back for their breath and smiled looking at each other.
