" You came last night and asked for gift " she spoke softly keeping her gaze on him, he blinked and flashes of last night came in his head.

When he saw her standing close to the lamp, he remember pulling her closer and lay her down on the bed kissing, hugging but after that it was all blank.

He forgot his first night.

" No, no, no, this can't be true" he shake his head placing his hand on his forehead.

" You are lying, right?" He look abruptly at Ahenkara with wide eyes and she looked at him shocked.

" Nothing happened last night" grabbing her hands Riyadh repeated the words trying to assure himself.

“ Aap aisa kaise keh sakte hai ”

" How can you say like this?" Ahenkara snatched her hands from him.

“ Hume nahi pata tha aap hume pareshan karne ke liye itna aasatya bolenge. Aapke liye chahe vo raat kuch nahi ho lekin humare liye bohot mehtav rhakhti hai”

" I didn't know you will lie so much for harrassing me. For you last night might be not valuable but for me it is "

Riyadh gazed at her as tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed her dupatta and wrapped it around her and got down and made her way towards the washroom. He look over his shoulder gazing at her disappearing figure now how will he say it was valuable for him also.
