Evening when I came back home, I

was surprised as Paras was running and Teju was running after him. All of a sudden, Teju lost her balance and she bumped into me. We both fell on the carpet and she was on top of me. I was shocked.

I wanted to hold her…

Here I was trying to give her space and.... God !!! Why are you doing this to me?

I just kept looking at her, she was so

shocked that she didn't even stir, she kept looking at me and I kept looking at her, locked in each other's arms.

Mom and aunty were also standing there. They burst out laughing. When did they come?

Teju got very embarrassed. She was blushing & looking so cute. She ran upstairs, mom and aunty started

teasing me too.

What has gotten into everyone? I told them to stop it and told Paras to go and do something constructive.

It was a beautiful moment. I loved to have her in my arms. She was blushing beautifully. Did she enjoy it...? Karan...stop having such thoughts.

After dinner, I went upstairs to our room. I saw her sitting on the couch with her laptop, before I could say anything, she started speaking, " I am sorry for what happened downstairs. I swear, I didn't do it purposely.

"Paras was teasing me... and I was chasing him..…" She started explaining but I stopped her.

"Tejasswi relax, I know what happened downstairs….. it is ok, he is an idiot." I said and she started laughing.

But for once I was thankful to that idiot.

"Tejasswi , I am sorry too for whatever happened in the morning. Please forgive me."

"It's okay Karan…." She smiled beautifully.

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

After dinner I went to mom's room. I wanted to talk to her, I saw Teju was also there.

When she saw me, she was blushing profusely. She could not even look at me.

What was that? I asked mom, but she

just smiled and said," It is late Karan, I am really tired, please go to your room we will talk later on."

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

I saw her sitting on the couch with her face buried in her laptop, she had not even changed. I asked her, " What is the matter?"

she just shook her head and said, " No,

nothing." "So why don't you get comfortable and please sleep on the bed."

"No I have to study, my exams are starting next week."

"Ok, at least change your clothes so that you are comfortable."

"I am very comfortable in these clothes."

" What's wrong with you? It will be very uncomfortable if you sleep in these clothes."

" No, I can't...."

" What do you mean, you can't....?"

"I can't, because... because my nightwears are gone."

"Gone???? Are you alright.? What do you mean they are gone?"

" It means that they are not there anymore…missing."

"How is that possible? Let me look for them. They must be in the wardrobe."

" Oh no you can't, you can't touch my wardrobe. I don't want you to…." She was looking so adorable standing in front of her wardrobe. As if she could stop me.

"What's wrong with you? I am curious now, I want to see."

" Please don't....." Her cheeks are turning red.

" Ok fine, can you please get me a water? I am very thirsty."

" Yeah sure..." she went downstairs to get me water and I tiptoed to her wardrobe and opened it.

There were at least 10 night dresses in different colors and designs and they were very hot and sexy. Now I understand, mom replaced her pyjamas with these and she was too shy to wear them.

I took out the simplest one for her and kept it on the couch and closed her wardrobe.

What was wrong with everyone? Mom wants Teju to wear something like this, to seduce me and dad wants me to give her Some time and space...

And I don't know what I want to do with her without knowing about the truth of Anusha and I'm going insane.

She came with the water and gave it to me and when she turned towards the couch she saw the pink colour nightdress.

She l became red again and asked me "Why did you do it?"

"I was very curious so…, It's ok, this is a very simple dress and it will look good on you."

"You saw all of them?'" she gasped. I

nodded mischievously.

"Now go, change and sleep on the bed as you look very tired and we have to go to your house tomorrow."

She went to change. She was nervous when she came out, but was looking very hot and beautiful in that dress. She sat on the couch again and opened her laptop.

" What are you doing with the laptop?"

"I have to study for exams and have to complete my assignment." She said looking at her laptop.

I also started working on my phone. She must have been extremely tired; she slept within an hour.

She is very cute and adorable when she is sleeping.I saw her sleeping very uncomfortably, I picked her up to make her sleep but she snuggled into me.

She felt so good in my arms. She was sleeping like a child. I sat on the other

side of the bed and kept looking at her. She was divinely sexy and beautiful in that nightdress.

Oh my god !! What is she doing to me? She will be the death of mine.

I slept on the bed with her locked in my arms.

TEJU'S POV:

I got up from my bed when the alarm started ringing. I tried to switch off but i couldn't move.

There was some weight on my waist. I turned to see what it was and froze. His arm was encircling me.

I don't know how I came to bed. If Karan gets to know about it, He will be angry with me. So I ran to the washroom before he woke up.

We had our breakfast and got ready to leave for my house.

Karan is going to drive the car and this is going to be our first car ride alone. It will take an hour to reach my house.

Karan started driving and I wanted to talk to him. I should tell him about my feelings for him since childhood. I should not complicate things more than it already is.

He looks so handsome in his blue shirt and jeans. His sleeves rolled up to his elbow. His arm muscles looks rock hard! I wonder how those muscles will feel under my touch! His scent..he is so going to kill me.

But he never looked at me. A ball of fear gathers up in my stomach and I have a feeling that it's not good. I kept fiddling my duppatta and looking out at the window.

Did he know that I slept next to him in bed yesterday? Is he angry about that?

"Karan…Are you okay?" I tried to start the conversation. He turned to look at me. And concentrated back on the road.

What? seriously? He is ignoring me now? What did I do?

"Can I turn on the music?" I tried again but again no reply.

This time I can't control my tears. Suddenly he started caressing my cheek and he wiped my tears away.

Are you serious? One minute he ignores me and the next minute he caresses me? I am so going to kill him.

" I'm sorry! I didn't mean to cry" He just nodded his head.

"Did I make any mistake… Are you angry with me? " He didn't reply.

"Can we start as friends?" He let out a deep breath and pulled the car over to the side and stopped. My heart started thumping out loud.

"Look Tejasswi You wanna know what mistake you made? Well, I don't think I can tell you that. About starting as friends, I can't be your friend. I mean you will be free from this marriage in 6months remember?"

He is so rude! I forgot the fact that he is a stupid professor.

His words affected me so much. This time I can't control my tears.

"Oh shit …. Tejasswi i am really sorry, please don't cry" He took my face in his palms and wiped my tears away with his thumb.

"You didn't make any mistake, it's me…. Teju, can you please give me some time ....I wanted to sort some issues?" He asked me still holding my face in his palm and tracing my cheeks with his thumb finger.

He called me Teju for the first time. My heart beat started raising by his touch and I felt goosebumps all over my body.

I nodded my head to his question. He

sighed and took his hands away from me.

Why the hell am I feeling like I'm losing a part of my body?

He switched on the music and started the car. With that we drove in silence to my parent's place.
