Hello my dear readers. Hope you all are fine.
I know it's been a long time since I updated last. And Iam really so sorry for that. But the situations are such that I couldn't even write.
But here Iam back with an update. It might be little boring but please excuse me for that.
I will try to give regular updates from now. But I can't promise.
Hope you all would like this chapter.
And not to forget I missed you all so much
Thank you

Next day morning :
Mayura was getting ready infront of the mirror at the same time Adhiraj came from the closet after getting ready.
" Shall we leave? " Adhi Asked
" Yes... Give me a minute" Mayura said wearing her bangles
Her eyes landed on the sindoor box and looked at Adhiraj who is already looking at her.
Adhiraj picked up the box and was about to fill her maang with the sindoor but Mayura stopped him
" Wait... " Saying this she ran into the closet and came out with her mangalsutra
" Come " saying this she took him out of their room
Mayura brought Adhiraj to the temple area in the palace.
She then forwarded the mangalsutra to Adhiraj which he adorned around her neck and then filled her maang with sindoor.
Both of them looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
" I missed you and these little things which reminds me about our marriage and love. " Adhiraj said
" These reminds that you belong to me. Only me and I belong to you " Adhiraj said caressing her mangalsutra.
" Adhi, you know when I first stepped out of my room after accident, I went to pooja room to offer my prayers. And you won't believe me about what I did next." Mayura said
" I know what you did... " Adhiraj Said
" Hmm?? " She looked at him in confusion
" You were about to fill your maang with sindoor. But stepped back " Adhiraj Said
" How do you know?? " She asked in utter shock
" Rohan sent me the video " Adhiraj Said
" Ohhh... " Mayura nodded her head but narrowed her eyes at him the next second
" So, you were stalking me?? " Mayura Asked
Adhiraj shrugged his shoulders
" Why am I even asking you. Ofcourse you were. And I can't even expect nothing less from you. You were stalking me even before our marriage right" Mayura shook her head
" What you want me to do then? I can't live without seeing you " Adhiraj said
Mayura rolled her eyes at him and was about to leave but Adhiraj pulled her back
Adhiraj kissed her forehead and looked at her lovingly.
" I love you " Adhiraj said
Mayura smiled at him and looked down blushing.
" When would pooja start??" Mayura asked clearing her throat
" I don't know... Have to ask dadi. " Adhiraj said
Mayura nodded as ok.
" You come and have your breakfast. After that you have to take your medicine right " Adhiraj said
" It's ok. I will have it after pooja " Mayura denied
" No... And... " Before he could say something dadi interrupted both of them
" You both are here?? I was looking for you both in the whole palace. " Dadi said
" Yes dadi? " Adhiraj looked at dadi
" Let's start the pooja. Pandit ji is here as well " dadi said
They both nodded as ok and followed dadi.
The whole time Adhiraj was making sure that Mayura is fine and comfortable.
And as soon as the pooja ended Adhiraj made Mayura to eat her breakfast and then her medicine.
" Iam going to office and will be back soon. Take care ok. " Adhiraj said
" Your breakfast? " Mayura Asked
" I will have it in my office " Adhiraj said
" No... Have it now " Mayura said
" No Mayu. Iam really getting late. I promise I would have breakfast at office. Ok? " Adhiraj pleaded with his eyes
" Ok... Don't forget about it. I will call you in an hour " Mayura warned
" Ok meri maa... Can I leave now? " Adhiraj Asked
Mayura giggled looking at his face and said yes.
" Take care... " Adhiraj said kissing her forehead.

Afternoon :
" Mayura why are you doing all these?? " Swathi asked Mayura who is busy in cooking.
" Di Iam getting bored " Mayura said
" Then go and watch TV or play some indoor games. Why are you cooking? " Swathi Asked
" Di I want to cook for Adhi" Mayura smiled
" But beta you are not fine. You need to take rest " Mayura's mother Said
" Maa Iam perfectly alright... " Mayura said
" Bhabhi, bhai will be so angry if he sees you in the kitchen " Swara said
" I will handle him... You just chill " Mayura Said
All shook their heads at her.
" Atleast let us help you then... " Ishika said
" No... It's not needed. Iam almost done " Mayura said
" You are saying this since last one hour Mayu " Sharanya rolled her eyes.
At the same time Mayank, Rajesh, Varun, Kunal along with Mayura's father entered the kitchen...
" Bhabhi what are you doing?? " Mayank Asked widening his eyes
" Iam cooking... " Mayura shrugged her shoulders
" You want all of us die in bhai's hands?? " Mayank Asked
She frowned hearing him and looked at Mayank in confusion
" Why are you looking at me like this bhabhi. Bhai will definitely kill all of us for letting you work " Mayank Said
" Stop it Mayank. Don't you think you are just over thinking " Mayura said
" No...not at all... Mayank is absolutely right. Your husband would definitely eat all of us alive if he sees you in the kitchen " Rajesh supported Mayank.
" Shut up... And by the way it's almost done... " Mayura glared Rajesh
" Prashathi what are you doing when she is cooking?" Mayura's father scolded prashanthi
" She is not listening to us..." Her mother Said
" Mayu move aside... They all will do the rest " her father Said
" No papa... It's almost done... " Mayura smiled
" Why don't you listen to us Mayura? " Her father asked
" And why you all are stopping me papa? And why you all treating me like a patient" Mayura asked back
" Because you are a patient" her father Said
Mayura frowned hearing him
" No... Iam not " she said and continued doing her work
..................
..................
Adhiraj came back just now and the first thing he did was to ask about Mayura.
" Where is Mayura? " Adhiraj asked a maid
" Rani sa is in the kitchen..." The maid informed.
" Kitchen... " He frowned and moved towards the kitchen
When Adhiraj entered the kitchen he saw Mayura who was so busy in cooking.
" What are you doing Mayura?? " Adhiraj raised his voice
Everyone got startled hearing his voice...
Mayura blinked her eyes innocently looking at his serious face.
" I asked you something..." Adhiraj Asked
" Cooking... Can't you see " Mayura said
" Who asked you to cook? " Adhiraj moved towards her and placed the plate in her hand on the table
" No one... I was getting bored so thought of cooking for you" She replied
" Mayura you are not well. You need to take rest... " Adhiraj tried to be as calm as possible infront of Mayura.
He then turned towards others and glared them
" What you all are doing when she is cooking alone... And where the hell are our cooks?? " Adhiraj scolded
" Bhai, bhabhi gave leave to all the cooks and she didn't listened to us... " Swara said
" Maa, papa atleast you should have scolded her for entering the kitchen " Adhiraj turned towards Mayura's parents
" We tried Adhiraj. But do you think she would listen to us Adhiraj?? She is so stubborn " her mother said
Adhiraj glared Mayura for which she blinked her eyes innocently.
" Why are you like this?? Did you forgot that you came back from the hospital just yesterday? " Adhiraj scolded
" Iam fine Adhi... And... " She was cut in middle by Adhiraj
" No... You are not... Let's go to the room. You need to take rest." Adhiraj Said
" No Iam fine. I will get bored there in the room " Mayura said.
" No you need to take rest." Adhiraj argued
Everyone smiled looking at Adhiraj's care for Mayura. Especially her parents so happy for their daughter
" Adhi please... That's all Iam doing since last 4days. Let me be here for sometime. " Mayura said
" No Mayura. You are still weak.what if it affects your health" Adhiraj said
" Come with me... " Saying this Adhiraj held Mayura's hands and took her out of the kitchen followed by others
" Adhi... Stop. Iam fine " Mayura tried to stop him but he didn't
" What happened Adhiraj??" Dadu asked who just came there along with Dadi and naani
" Dadu he has gone mad...please ask him to stop and say that Iam completely fine " Mayura asked dadu
" No dadu don't listen to her" Adhiraj said
" But what happened?? " Dadu and dadi Asked at the same time
" Dadu, dadi I asked her to take rest. But she was in the kitchen and don't know since when she is standing in the kitchen... " Adhiraj said
" Not more bhai... May be for 3 hours. Right Mayura?" Kunal said and looked at Mayura who was throwing daggers at him
" 3 hours?? " Adhiraj shouted
" Adhiraj it's nothing... Don't worry " Mayura tried to explain
" Shut up Mayura...now just come with me... " Adhiraj literally dragged her with him.
" Papa..." Mayura looked at her father for help
Her father shrugged his shoulders and turned away giving her a ' don't involve me ' look
Adhiraj stopped on the steps and looked at dadi
" Dadi can you please send our lunch to our room?? " Adhiraj requested
" Sure... " Dadi Said
" Thanks dadi... " Adhiraj said and took Mayura with him.
" She is a gone case now... " Rajesh chuckled followed by others
...................
...................
" Adhi listen to me... " Mayura tried to talk with him and stop him but he didn't.
Adhiraj left Mayura's hand after reaching their room. And finally stood infront of her.
" Mayura why won't you listen to me? " Adhiraj sighed
He is angry and wanted to scold her but couldn't seeing her face.
" Adhi Iam really fine... " Mayura held his hands
" No... You are not... you need to take rest" Adhiraj argued
" Offfo Adhiraj... Stop it now... Till when you are gonna treat me like this?? You are behaving as I would die or vanish in thin air if I step out of this room... " Mayura said getting irritated but the next second she realised what all she uttered
Adhiraj glared Mayura and released his hands from her grip.
" Do you even realise what are you talking? " He asked seriously
" Sorry... I didn't mean that... " Mayura mumbled
" Then what do you mean Mayura?? " Adhiraj raised his voice.
Mayura shivered hearing his voice.
" Iam sorry... I don't realised how I said those words... " Mayura said looking down
" Right... Why would you even realise... It's not like that you have faced everything... You didn't know how it feels when the person you love is infront of you but you couldn't talk with them or you couldn't take them in your arms... You are so near yet so far away from them. " Adhiraj said
" Do you know how I felt when I used to see you everyday infront of my eyes but couldn't talk with you... Do you even how I felt when you look at me as if Iam a stranger to you?? No you won't and you can't... " Adhiraj said with tears.
" Still I was happy that atleast you are alive... I was ready to stay away from you for whole life if you could live a healthy life... And what are you doing?? Talking about your death. Really Mayura?? " Adhiraj glared her
Mayura was looking down all the time.
" Do whatever you want to do... " Saying this Adhiraj throwed his coat on the bed angrily and was about to move towards the washroom but Mayura stopped him holding his hands
" Adhi, listen to me... I didn't mean that... " Mayura said
" Leave my hand Mayura " Adhiraj said seriously
" No, I won't " Mayura said and stood infront of Adhiraj but he turned his face away
Mayura was about to say something but before that there was a knock on the door.
Adhiraj opned the door and saw a maid was there with their food.
Adhiraj asked the maid to place everything on the table and leave.
The maid did as Adhiraj said and left the room.
As soon as the maid left Adhi moved towards the washroom not giving a chance to Mayura to speak
Mayura looked at the way Adhiraj went sadly...
Adhiraj came back after few minutes and saw that Mayura was still standing in the same place without moving an inch.
She looked up when Adhi came out walked towards him
" Adhiraj Iam sorry... " Mayura said
But Adhiraj didn't looked at her and moved towards the table where the lunch was kept.
He silently served a plate and looked at Mayura without uttering a word.
Mayura silently came and sat beside Adhiraj.
Adhiraj placed the plate in her hands but Mayura pushed it back to him.
He again tried to place the plate in her hands but she again pushed it
" Mayura eat... " He said sternly
Mayura looked at Adhiraj with a pout and tears in her eyes. She took the plate from his hands and kept the plate on the table.
And before Adhiraj could say something she sat on Adhiraj's lap snaking her hands around his neck.
" What are you... " Before he could complete his sentence Mayura placed her lips on his lips.
Adhiraj widened his eyes at that and got stucked in his place.
Mayura didn't deepened the kiss or moved back... she just stayed like that for few seconds.
Mayura then moved back and looked at Adhiraj who is still in shock
" Iam sorry... I won't utter such nonsense again " Mayura said looking at Adhiraj
" What was that?? " Adhiraj Asked
" What? " She asked innocently
Adhiraj quickly pecked her lips and said, " this?? "
" A kiss... Don't you know that? " Mayura tried to be brave but couldn't and was blushing
Adhiraj chuckled lightly seeing her face.
" No, that's not a kiss... It's just called as peck " Adhiraj tugged hair behind her hair
Mayura blushed looking down.
" Please, don't talk such nonsense Mayu... I would die if something happens to you " Adhiraj pleaded
" And you don't talk about your death... " Mayura glared
" Ok... " Adhiraj chuckled looking at her face
" But promise me that you would take rest and take care of your health... " Adhiraj said
" I promise. I will take care of my health and will also take rest untill you say. Ok?" Mayura said
" That's like a good girl " Adhiraj patted her cheeks
Mayura smiled and was about to get up from his lap but Adhiraj didn't allowed her.
Adhiraj pulled her back and held her tightly through her waist and pulled her more close to him.
Mayura's heartbeat raised and placed her hands on his shoulders
" What?? " She asked
" Where do you think you are going after pulling such stunt? " Adhiraj asked huskily caressing her cheeks
Mayura bite her lips and looked down.
" Wha... What stunt?? " She asked trying to be brave
" You don't know?? " He asked
" No... " She tried to act innocent
" That's okay... Let me show it... " Saying this Adhiraj pulled Mayura more close to him and placed his lips on her lips without giving her any intimation and started kissing her with all the love and passion he has towards her
Mayura gasped and widened her eyes at this sudden kiss and tightened her grip on his shoulders
Adhiraj caressed her back trying to cool her down which actually worked.
Mayura's hands slowly moved towards hair and started caressing his hair and kissed him back with equal love and passion
Adhiraj broke the kiss when they are out of breath
" This is called a kiss. Understand?? " Adhiraj asked with a smirk
Mayura couldn't even look into his eyes. She just hid her face in his chest.
Adhiraj laughed looking at her face and hugged her tightly
" I love you... " Adhiraj said
Mayura raised her head and looked at Adhi who was looking at her with all the love.
" I love you too... " She uttered
They both stayed in each other's arms for a while without uttering a word. They are just enjoying the silence between them
" Mayura, now have your lunch. And you should even take your medicine. ' Adhiraj said
Mayura looked at him, nodded as ok and was about to get up from him but Adhiraj again pulled her back.
" Stay... I will feed you " saying this Adhiraj took the plate in his hands.
He forwarded a morsel to her but she nodded as no.
" You have it first... " Saying this she took another morsel and forwarded it to Adhiraj.
Adhiraj smiled with tears in his eyes and opned his mouth.
" I missed your handmade food " Adhiraj said
Mayura narrowed her eyes at him
" Then why were you scolding me a while back for cooking? " Mayura Asked
" It's because your health is more important. But as you already cooked let me enjoy it " Adhiraj smiled
Mayura shook her head and fed him and vice versa.
This way they both fed eachother. After having lunch Adhiraj gave Mayura her medicine which she took.
" Now take some rest... " Adhiraj asked keeping the plates aside.
" Adhi please, no... Iam tired of taking rest. " Mayura whined
" What you want to do then? Go down and do all the household chores? " Adhiraj narrowed his eyes at her
" I wish I could do that... " Mayura uttered for which she earned a glare from Adhiraj.
" Adhiraj don't look at me like that... Anyways what are you going to do now? I mean do you have any work? " She Asked
" Nothing much. Just has to go through some files " Adhiraj said
" Then do it later... " Mayura said
" Then what should I do now? " Adhiraj Asked
" I don't know... Just stay here " Mayura shrugged her shoulders
" No Mayu... It's important " Adhiraj said
" You do your work then. Iam going down. Atleast I won't be bored there " saying this Mayura was about to leave the room but was stopped by Adhiraj
" No you are not stepping out of this room " Adhiraj said
" Adhiraj... This is too much. I will go mad sitting here " Mayura glared him
" What you want to do then? " Adhiraj Asked
" Hmmm ??? Come with me" saying this Mayura pulled Adhiraj along with her
Mayura brought Adhiraj to the secret room
" Why are we here?? " Adhiraj asked
Mayura once looked around and then at Adhiraj.
" Tell me the story behind every pic over here. Tell me everything you wanted to confess but couldn't. " Mayura paused for a second
" I want to look at all these from your point of view. " Mayura said
Adhiraj smiled hearing her
" I thought you would be scared or would freak out seeing all these " Adhiraj Said
" I was... I was so scared when I saw all these for the first time... I couldn't even stand on my legs... But " Mayura paused
" But? " Adhiraj raised his eyebrows
" But then I realised how crazily you love me... " Mayura smiled
" But you are an idiot " Mayura scolded him
" Why?? " He Asked
" Why didn't you approached me earlier??" Mayura Asked
" As you said I was an idiot back then " Adhiraj pulled her towards him through her waist
Mayura giggled hearing him.
Adhiraj sighed in content seeing her in his arms.
