The ride back home was quiet because the girls were fast asleep as they had started their journey early in the morning.The men were awake and had some casual conversation with Nirvair driving the whole time.

They all stopped at a nice restaurant for breakfast and had their breakfast.

"Yrr yeh Nirvair bhai ke toh phone calls hi khatam nhi hote h ek toh!"Hriday said as they all were waiting beside the car but Nirvair who had the keys was standing a lil far from them talking on his phone.

"Unke paas chalte h,aise nhi aanewale h woh"Aayat said and they all agreed because anyways he would have to get the car out of the parking area so that they all could sit in it.

"Abe toh tum sab kya kr rahe the Bhench*d!!!!!"Nirvair said angrily over the phone call.

Aayat,Iknoor,Hriday and Iti walked towards him and heard him.

Aayat and Hriday were surprised hearing Nirvair cussing because they have never seen him do that.

While Iknoor was equally shocked.Nirvair rarely get's angry.Nobody can ever imagine him cussing at someone.

"Aata hu mein,tu rakh aur call kr mujhe agar kuch ho toh!maa ki aankh kr di h tum logo ne!"Nirvair said and angrily cut the call.

He turned and found the four of them standing there.

He sighed as he saw their surprised expressions.

They had heard him.

"Itudi jaa waha se chocolates le le tu apne liye,mumma dila degi jaa"Nirvair said and motioned for Aayat to take Iti away for a moment which she did.

He then turned towards his wife and brother and narrowed his eyes at them.

"Tera dimag thik h?agar mein side mein baat kr raha hu jaake matlab kuch aisa hoga na jo sabke saamne nhi bol sakta?Iti ko yaha laane ki kya zaroorat thi?chaar,chaar jane lagte h kya ek bande ko bulane ke liye?!"Nirvair scolded his brother who didn't say anything to that then.

It wasn't like Hriday had never cussed,he knew in agression such words come out of your mouth,he wasn't going to judge his elder brother for that.

"Hame kya pata tha aap....

"Come on Hriday!mein side mein gaya tha na!Iti ko yeh sab sunna chahiye kya?what if she catches these words!"Nirvair still scolded him and Hriday nodded his head at that because he understood what Nirvair was trying to say.

"Okay,fine ho gaya na,ab chalo,Iti won't even remember it"Iknoor said and Nirvair sighed and walked towards the car.

They again started their journey this time the girls played some music while the boys were silent.

After sometime,

Sehgal Mansion,

Nirvair parked the car in front of the entrance and everyone got out of it,the househelp took the luggage but Nirvair didn't come out of the car making Iknoor frown.

"Tum nhi aa rahe?"Iknoor asked and Nirvair shook his head in denial at that.

"Tum jao mujhe kuch kaam h,office jaana padega,I will be late so please don't wait for me"Nirvair said and left making her sigh.

Nirvair drove away towards his office and got in after scanning his iris at the door.

He straight away went into the meeting room where he was supposed to be for now as they would be having discussion on what needs to be done now since a serious situation has appeared infront of them.

"Good afternoon sir"Nirvair greeted his boss as he entered inside the room and immediately took his seat beside Kartik as the meeting had already started.

"So we have already established that the mujhadeens have a plan....it is a bomb blast and not one but multiple....the targeted places are still unknown to us, but we have a major hint that it would be somewhere in the north as well as the south,at places which are quite sentimental for the people,places which hold religious values for the people of our country"Ram sir said making everyone worried.

Religious places are always packed with people.It was going to be a easy thing for them in planting a bomb at those places.

People from all caste, religion,sex,creed visit temples in India.

"North mein Golden Temple ya Vaishodevi ho sakta h sir"Ajay,one of the team members said.

"South mein Tirupati h, Jagannath Puri h,aur bhi bht saare prominent temples h sir"Nirvair spoke and Ram sir nodded.

"I want a special team who would try to narrow down our guesses and provide me with the exact location of the bomb blasts asap.....if we are unsuccessful this time,our country is going to loose a lot!"Ram sir said gravely.

"One team will be looking for those mujhadeens,we have to capture them before they succeed in their planning "Ram sir said making them all nod.

The meeting continued for 3 hours and then they all were dismissed.

"Gayatri h kaha pr?"Nirvair asked to one of his junior who were given a task in which they failed.

"Apne ghar pr h sir,she is fine now,the doctor has treated her"Ajay said and Nirvair nodded his head at that.

"Agli baar se be vigilant!I don't want the same mistake to be repeated again!"Nirvair said sternly making them all nod in fear.

Nirvair sighed.

He then along with Ali,Kartik,Ajay and Rahul started doing the work they were assigned.

"Yrr gayab kese ho sakte h yeh log!?"Ali whined as even after hours of hardwork they weren't even able to get a single hint about their location.

"Gayab nhi huye h,logo mein chupkar bethe h,chinta mat kr,dhund nikalenge saalon ko"Kartik said.

"Koi na koi galti toh zarur karenge yeh log"Nirvair said because they were just waiting for that one mistake so that they could grab hold of them.

"Jao tum dono bhi apne ghar,kal subah 8 baje report krna h office mein,samjhe?"Nirvair asked and the two juniors nodded their head at him and left.

"Hum bhi chalte h,hume bhi 8 baje report krna h,late honge toh pata h na Ram sir kya karenge?"Kartik said and the other two nodded at him.

"Chal tu mere ghar,late ho gaya h,subah saath aa jayenge"Nirvair said and Ali nodded and they both hopped onto Nirvair's bike and rode away towards Sehgal House.

Nirvair opened the door and entered inside followed by Ali.His eyes roamed in the living room and a tired sigh escaped his lips when he saw his wife sitting on the sofa using her phone.

He had asked her to not wait for him.

But she didn't listen.

"Aa gaye tum?jaakr freshen up ho jao mein khana garam krti hu"Iknoor said addressing him but then her gaze landed on Ali who was with him.

"Mera dost h Ali,late ho gaya h isliye yahi sonewala h"Nirvair said because she had met Ali only a few times.

"Hello bhabhi"Ali greeted her with a smile and Iknoor passed the same smile to him and greeted him back.

"Aap bhi freshen up hokr aaiye,dinner lagati hu aap dono ke liye tab tak"Iknoor said and Ali just nodded and left towards the guest room he always uses when he visits here.

They both left to freshen up and Iknoor quickly re-heated the dinner for them and served it on the dining table.

She had already served the food in two plates when they arrived and so they both just sat and started having dinner because they didn't get a chance to eat lunch today because of all the shut going on in the work place.

"Tumne khaya?"Nirvair couldn't help but ask as last time she had not eaten till he had come back late at night.

Iknoor simply nodded her head at that.She didn't sit with them and left them to eat as she went to her bedroom.

Iknoor was already sleeping on her side of bed when Nirvair arrived in their bedroom and went to have a refreshing bath as he was tired and felt dirty.

Once he was bathed he forgot to wear a tshirt as he now does so as to not make Iknoor uncomfortable as they share a bed and simply laid down on his side of bed.

Next morning,

Nirvair woke up at his usual time as he did gym in the morning and frowned as he felt a head on the left side of his body.

He rubbed his eyes and saw Iknoor's head on his left shoulder,his hand clutched between her palms.

He could feel her hot breath in the crook of his neck which gave him shivers which surprised him.

He stared at her face which appeared calm and so innocent as she slept with an ease.A few of her hair strands falling on her cheeks and forehead.

He kept staring at her for sometime before he realised what he was doing and immediately pulled his hand away from her hold and gently put her head on the pillow.

He got up and saw that the pillows they had kept in between them were laying on the floor,she might have knocked them down in her sleep because he isn't a messy sleeper,he sleeps on his side and hardly does he ever touches the other person who sleeps beside him.

He sighed and immediately went to freshen up so that he could do his morning gym.

Post that he had a bath and got ready for his office,a white shirt and a black coat over it along with black trousers to maintain the advocate image he portrayed himself as.

He was just making his hair into man bun when Iknoor too woke up and stared at him.

He was up a lil early then usual.

"Tum jaldi ready ho gaye?"She couldn't help but ask.

"Mujhe office jaldi pochana h"Nirvair said as he was done making his hair and picked up his mobile phone along with his wallet and handkerchief and sat on the bed to wear his shoes.

"Oh"Iknoor just said that as she too got down the bed and made her way towards the bathroom to get ready for the day.

Till the time Iknoor was ready and downstairs Nirvair was done with his breakfast and had left too.

Iknoor too completed her breakfast and left for the hospital along with Hriday as the two of them have decided to go together since their destination is the same.

_______________________________

"Kaha tha?"Mahir asked as soon as Nirvair entered the house.

He was late.

Again.

Everyone was done with the dinner and were sitting in the living room as usual when Nirvair finally arrived.

"Office"Nirvair replied, surprised that instead of his mother it was his father who was questioning him because Mahir rarely asked him such questions.

"Dopahar ko kaha tha?"Mahir asked making Nirvair frown.

"Office"Nirvair yet again replied and Iknoor shook her head in disappointment.

He shouldn't have lied.

"Don't lie to me Nirvair"Mahir said sternly,anger filled in his words.

Okay.

Something was wrong because Mahir never get's angry on his children.

"I don't know aap kya bo....

"Shut this up and tell me the truth"Mahir again asked and Nirvair was highly confused now.

He hasn't done anything to make his father angry.

"Usse bolne toh dijiye na Mahirji "Bela intervened.

"Sach bole na phir,mere muh pe jooth bol raha h jabki isko pata h ki I don't like lies"Mahir said glaring at Nirvair this time.

"Arre usse bethne toh de,abhi aaya h bichara aur tu h ki shuru ho gaya"Sumitra said taking her grandson's side.

"Nirvair,I know tu office mein nhi tha,better h bata de kaha tha dophar ko aur kya kr raha tha?"Mahir asked sternly.

"Agar pata tha office mein nhi tha toh khud hi bata dijiye kaha tha"Nirvair said amusedly but Mahir was serious and so he sighed deeply.

"Kuch kaam se bahar gaya tha"Nirvair said then hoping this would satisfy his father.

Guess what?

He was wrong!

"Hua kya h Mahirji?bataiye toh?"Bela asked this time to her husband who continued glaring at his son.

"Neil,normal speed limit kya hoti h bike ki?"Mahir asked his younger brother and Nirvair sighed as he understood what happened.

"It was nothing papa,mein Ali aur Kartik sirf race kr rahe the"Nirvair said.

"Kitna jhooth bolega!?"Mahir shouted at him making everyone surprised while Nirvair wasn't that affected.

Everyone was staring at the father son duo who were staring at each other.

"Arre thik h baccha h galti ho gayi ab chod bhi de!"Pinky dadi said but still Mahir didn't budge.

"Kiya kya h isne?"Bela again asked looking at the both of them.

"Itni speed se bike chala raha tha na yeh highway pr!!woh bhi jabki police bhi khadi thi waha,signal todkr nikal gaya pata nhi kiske peeche jaa raha tha.Meine khud dekha isse dopahar ko apni aankhein se aur ab mere muh pr jhooth bol raha h"Mahir said and Bela gasped as she heard that.

She was anyways kind of against Nirvair using a bike because he returns late sometimes and it's not safe according to her to ride a bike home.

And hearing all this made her more frightened of his safety.

"Yeh kya keh rahe h Mahirji?"Bela asked looking at her son who sighed.

"Okay fine!ek accused tha woh bhaag raha tha police station se usse pakad raha tha, isliye signal todne pade aur speed thodi zyada ho gayi"Nirvair said making everyone stare at him in bewilderment.

"Tu police h kya? criminal's ko pakadna tera kaam nhi h!"Choti maa said.

"Arre toh isse kya farak padta h choti maa,accused ko pakadne se matlab hona chahiye na"Nirvair said and everyone sighed.

"Still yeh tumhara kaam nhi h Nirvair!you are an advocate,your job is to make sure criminals get punished not to capture them"Shivaay said.

"Arre pr agar criminals ko pakadenge nhi toh saza kese dilwayenge chote papa?"Nirvair questioned instead.

"Did you even realise kitni tezzi se jaa raha tha tu!you could have met with an accident!!!"Mahir said yelling at him and Nirvair sighed.

"Hua toh nhi na?come on papa it was work,mein koi masti thodi kr raha tha"Nirvair said but Mahir still glared at him.

"Okay fine agli baar se nhi karunga aisa bas!"Nirvair said looking at his parents.

"Ek number ka jhootha h tu!ek toh kaha se sikhata h tu itna jhooth bolna?kon sikhata h tujhe yeh saari ulti seedhi harkatein?"Bela glared at her son who sighed.

"Mujhe bhook lagi h,kal continue kare iss lecture ko?"Nirvair said earning more glares this time.

"Okay,I am really sorry,aage se I swear aisa nhi karunga,bas!"Nirvair said trying to be as honest as he could infront of them.

"Nirvair,halke mein mat lena iss baat ko!agar agli baar aisa kuch kiya tune,ya mere saamne jhooth bola h na toh I swear it won't be good for you"Mahir said Nirvair just nodded his head at that.

His father can't be strict with any of the children and Nirvair knows this.

"Ab khana mil sakta h mujhe?"Nirvair asked looking at his mother who nodded.

"Dekh Nirvair tujhe meri kasam h agar tune agli baar se normal speed limit ko cross kiya h bike chalate time toh!"Bela said as Nirvair was having his dinner.

"Aapko pata h mein kasam wasam mein nhi maanta mumma"Nirvair said looking at her who glared at him.

"Ek chata padega na sab maanne lagega!"Bela said making him laugh at her anger.

Well he has received many of those slaps in his childhood and so he was used to it now.

"Maar do kya farak padta h,bachpan mein kitna maara tha aapne,ab farak nhi padta"Nirvair said making Bela more angry.

"Nalayak kahi ka!pata nhi kispr gaya h!!koi baat nhi maanta h tu!"Bela started scolding him as always.

Aashi, Shivansh,Iknoor,Aayat and Hriday sat with them on the dining table as Nirvair got scolded.

Iknoor wasn't surprised hearing all this.One thing she has got to know about Nirvair is that he always does what he wishes and never tends to listen to what the other person says.

"Dekh Nirvair,aakhiri baar bol rahi hu,bike speed se chalana band kr de wrna teri bike band krwa dungi Mahirji se kehkr!"Bela said threatening him and Nirvair just nodded so that she calms down for now.

"Ab khau mein shanti se?"Nirvair asked and Bela sighed and nodded.

Bela left then and Nirvair finally sighed in relief.

"Aapko jhooth nhi bolna chahiye tha papa se bhai"Hriday said making Nirvair roll his eyes at that.

"Jese ki mein sach bolta toh mujhe shabashi milti,aise bhi gaaliya padti aur wese bhi"Nirvair said.

"Toh tumhe gaaliya khaane wale kaam hi kyu krne h?"Iknoor couldn't help but ask because even she had seen him in the afternoon as he raced his bike in high speed and got scared seeing that.

Nirvair stared at his wife who seemed a lil pissed at him.

"Sab tumhari tarah good girl nhi hote Iknoor"Nirvair said amusedly as if he was teasing her.

"Tumhe na bachpan mein bht maarna chahiye tha,toh shayad sudhar jaate"Iknoor couldn't help but say it.

And Nirvair chuckled hearing that.

"Don't worry woh bhi ho chuka h,phir bhi aisa hi hu"Nirvair said just to annoy her and Iknoor rolled her eyes at that.

"Kyu aapko hamesha sabko pareshan krna hota h bhai?mumma kitna darr gayi thi sunke ki aap bht speed se bike chala rahe the!"Aashi said and Nirvair looked at her.

"Meine thodi kaha h ki mere liye pareshan ho!wese bhi mein baccha thodi hu jo ek bike nhi sambhal sakta"Nirvair said and everyone sighed.

"Jo log tumse pyaar krte h,tumhari care krte h na woh tumhara bolne pr tumhare liye pareshan nhi honge Nirvair!grow up aur kabhi dusro ke baare mein bhi soch liya karo!"Iknoor said as she couldn't hold it in herself to listen to his shit.

Nirvair didn't had anything to say to that so he moved his eyes to his plate and continued eating his dinner.

Soon everyone left the couple alone and went to their respective bedrooms.

Iknoor still sat with Nirvair as he was still having his dinner when his phone rang and he immediately picked it up.

"Ok sir....send me the details of the flight and I will be at the airport in an hour"Nirvair said making Iknoor frown at his words.

Was he going somewhere?

At this time of the night?

He has just got back from his office.

Nirvair stood up leaving his half eaten plate and Iknoor stopped him.

"Khana toh khatam karo"Iknoor said but he shook his head at that and made his way towards his bedroom.

Iknoor followed him and found him quickly packing a small bag pack.

"Kya kr rahe ho?"Iknoor asked.

"Mujhe bht important kaam se kahi jaana h"Nirvair said.

"Abhi?iss waqt?"Iknoor asked getting surprised hearing that.

"Hmm...tum mumma ko bata dena"Nirvair said as he took that bag pack and didn't even change and made his way out of the bedroom.

Iknoor literally had to run behind him because his steps were long.

"Kaha jaa rahe ho?wapas kab tak aaoge?"Iknoor asked.

"1-2 din mein aa jaunga"Nirvair said not answering her first question.

"Nirvair stop!"Iknoor said as he wasn't answering her properly.

"I am getting late Iknoor!baadmein jo bolna h bol dena"Nirvair said and left without waiting to hear anything else.

Iknoor sighed as he left without talking to her properly or saying anything about where he was going.

She went inside the house and spotted his half eaten plat

e still laying on the dining table.

He hasn't even had his dinner and had literally rushed out on getting his boss's call.

She picked it up.

What urgent could come up this late at night?

Is this how he has been living before he got married to her?

What was it that he couldn't help but always go away when his boss calls him?
