Swara paced in their room restlessly.

Oh! She should have known it, he would be up to some mischief. He dropped enough hints, no! His naughty look, that wicked smile which always made her heart leap. She should have. Swara sunk on the bed with a tired sigh.

"You called this upon yourself, Swara," She admitted the chiding of the inner voice. It was two months past their honeymoon, but the jolly ride was intact. The passion and magic of love seemed never-ending. And she was loved by everyone in Maheswari Family. The same love, she had been yearning for years. And at times it scared her, that it might just be a happy dream and she would snap out of it at any moment.

But with Sanskaar next to her, she knew her fears were uncalled for.

And his promise 'Your wish, my command' He stood true to it. May it be sneaking at midnight for an ice cream treat, super romantic dinner date, dance in the rain, a song for her ...every little wish, she didn't even have to ask and had to come up with new ones. Though she basked in all attention, soon guilt took over.

She wished to do something very special for him and it had to be of his choice. It was on one of the nights, she broached the topic. Cocooned in the warmth of their laced bodies, snuggled under a duvet, her fingers gently stroked his damp hair.

"I like when you do that, Shona," Sanskaar nuzzled into her neck softly and felt her stir. He always loved theirs after lovemaking moments. Smiling, Swara called out his name softly. A look into her eyes, he knew, she had something to say. And he wished, that one day, she would shed all slightest hesitations and just demand. But his Swara, sweetest and cutest and still shy ...he smiled.

He pressed a kiss on the tip of her nose in a loving gesture. "Just say it" he murmured n a lazy tone. And Swara opened up. "Now don't tell me ki kuch nahi hain."

Sanskaar smiled at her pout. He didn't have a list, but just one! "Hain Kuch," He whispered on her lips. Her breath quickened at the slightest touch and hands curled around him at will. And his words whispered kisses.

"You have no clue of nights I have spent in the same room hoping for a glimpse of you, Swara." His breath tickled her softly. "I would have given anything to just to hold you back in my arms after that night. I always had only one wish" Reading her dazed eyes, Sanskaar tipped her chin just enough for their lips to meet and murmured right on them.

"You"

And she surrendered with a sweet sigh.

--------------------

Few Weeks passed. Swara decided not to give up despite Sanskaar brushing it off citing, he didn't have any. And that fine morning, she turned adamant and didn't mind throwing a temper tantrum as well.

"I am not talking to you, Mr.Maheswari" she grumbled with a pout.

"You sure? sochlo, Swara. There's no backing out." He warned her with a smile.

Oh! He was right, she should have listened to him. But no! She was up for the challenge  but no way saw this coming.

He had been smiling non-stop when he picked scrapbook, turned over an empty page and scribbled something out of Swara's view. "After I leave to the office," he told strictly and she nodded, keeping her curiosity in check. Though his goodbye kiss lasted longer than usual scrambling all her senses, his words 'let it be tonight' piqued her interest levels.
