"She couldn't take Mr. Manish Singhania's death yet. She couldn't accept his absence. She is stressed too much. That's why end up fainted with bleeding in the nose. Give the medicines prescribed to stop bleeding further. She should be happy to avoid stress. Happiness is the only medicine. Don't let her feel alone. Try to bring her back to her old self soon." The doctor advised Anchal and Suhan about Payal's health.

"Okay, Doctor. She is fine, right?" Anchal was tensed yet. The vision of her sister laid unconscious on the bed, just like the lifeless body, haunted her much.

"She is perfectly fine, dear. Just follow the medications and keep her stress free." The doctor patted Anchal's back softly, giving her confidence and left from there.

Anchal sat in the couch with her head resting at backrest and eyes closed. She let out a breath of relief. She opened her eyes when she felt Suhan's fingers ran inside her silky raven black hairs. She saw him, sitting beside her in the couch and caressing her hairs softly.

"I told right that she would be fine. Now relax for a while, I will make dinner." He placed a warm kiss on her forehead and got up to leave to the kitchen.

But she held his hand, which made him turn to look back at her.

"I don't know how I would have handled the situation if You were not with me. T..." Before she completed, Suhan leaned forward, keeping his index finger on her lips.

Her breath hitched, seeing his lips just an inch away from her lips. Their hot breath fanned each other face. Both looked into each other eyes and lost at that moment. The room went into impenetrable silence. Sound of their heartbeats was melodious like rhythm. Suhan sat in the couch and within a second, Anchal was in his lap. She didn't realise what had happened, being lost too much in his greyish green eyes. He tugged her hair strand behind her ears and kissed her cheeks, "Don't say thanks often. I don't like saying sorry and thanks between us."

He whispered in her ears, which made her comeback to her sense. She smiled at him and blushed, recognising their position. She got up in shy and about to leave. But he held her hand. She turned to him, gazing at her feet. Her cheeks were turned into beetroot red, which made him smile at his effect on her.

"What about we all go on a trip? You, Payal, Sunny, me and Siddik. Payal will feel fresh and will forget all the incidents at least a bit. It will be a new beginning for you as well. Even Sunny will feel good." Suhan suggested.

"You are right. She will feel better too." Anchal agreed to him.

"Okay, then, you discuss with Payal and Sunny about the destination. I will make dinner." Anchal shook her head and replied, "I will help you with making dinner and then we will discuss about the destination with them during dinner."

"As you wish, my friend." Anchal's face fell a bit when she heard the word 'Friend'. Suhan smirked while following behind her to the kitchen. Even he wished to call her as his love but he didn't wish to rush things between them. First, he wished to bring her out of the pool of pains surrounding her.

"What will we make for dinner?" Suhan rubbed his hands together while looking around the modern classic kitchen, which was arranged neatly with all the vessels and dishes.

"What do you like to have?" Anchal turned to him finally.

"I would like to have whatever you wish to have," Suhan whispered to looking into her eyes.

"𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉? 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅. 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔. 𝑯𝒖𝒉! 𝑨𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅. 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌." She thought to herself and took a deep breath to avoid his intense gaze and turned her back to him again.

"Okay then, Pizza for Sunny, Aloo Paratha for Payal and we will share both Pizza and Aloo Paratha." She said and got into working.

"Do you always make separate dishes for them both?" Suhan asked while taking flour for Paratha, "and you just have whatever they have instead of what you wish to have."

"They are not yet mature like me, Suhan. They are yet childish kids." She smiled, remembering them both. Suhan smiled at her. He didn't have any doubt on how would she take care of his parents and brother. He felt so blessed to have her in his life at that very second.

She took flour from him, "I will make flour ready. You just help me with gravy for Paratha."

He nodded his head and both started cooking. Suhan's eyes fell on Anchal, who was so messy with few of her hairs spread over her face and the sweat drop at the edge of her nose. Her lips were moving in sync, humming some random song. She was totally into her world. Suhan lips curved into a smile, seeing her. He adored her like there was no tomorrow. He wished to take her lips in his and taste her nectar. He wished to play with her messy hairs. He wished to suck away those sweat drops from her body. She wished to cuddle her. But he knew that it was not time to give life for his love and feelings.

He leaned and pecked her cheeks quickly and got back into his work. She was petrified at her place, processing what had just happened. Though he had kissed her cheeks before, this peck was new. It gave her different vibes. Butterflies flow high in her stomach. She felt goosebumps all over her body. What was happening to her?

"What happened?" Suhan asked her, seeing stood still in shock. Though he knew the reason and cursed himself for behaving like a crazy teenager with her, he was bound to act as innocent to tear away the awkwardness between them both.

"N... Nothing." She forced a smile to her lips, controlling hard to not blush and continued her work.

He smiled at her innocence.
