Sitting on the dining table, Arvind was having breakfast.. Or rather Naina was hovering over him to have a proper breakfast... He was running late but couldn't refuse her innocent please... He asked her to sit and eat too but she said she didn't like eggs, so will make something else and have the breakfast later on...
As he was about to leave, he heard the most beautiful words ever uttered by her..
Naina- Arvind ji?
He looked at her stunned... This was the first time she called him by his name... And that 'ji' was the sweetest thing he had ever heard.... He didn't know that his name could sound so special too..still he needed to rectify this.. He wasn't superior to her to be called 'ji'..
Arvind- tum mujhe mere naam se bula sakti ho... Sirf Arvind..
Naina(shyly)-nahin.. Humse nahin hoga... Hum aapko Arvind ji hi bulaayenge...
Arvind was about to debate on that but then left the topic... He wouldn't confess to her that he loved hearing that 'sweet' version of his name... He wouldn't tell her that he felt special for the first time in his life.. That her calling him by his name made him feel alive... He felt at home...
It's late 10 and almost all his co- officers are gone..
Just then his senior came to give him some briefing about a case ....
"Are arvind Tumhe Ghar nahi Jana It's 1 already......"
"Sir I am stuck with this file" He said
"Tumhe pata hai na aj Kya hai" He asked
"Kya sir" He asked confused
"Aj karwachauth hai arvind Tumhari wife nee Tumhe dhamki nahi dI thi Kya ??? Ghar jaldi ane ki."
He laughed and teased him
And he remembered
"Han jaldi ane ko Kaha to tha.... Par ye nahi Kaha tha ke....."
He went in a deep thought. Did she fasted for him He thought......
"Jao Ghar Jao Ye file Kal complete Kar Lena"
He left and arvind pick up his phone and keys.
Wondering if she had fasted for him
_____________
He open the door and saw house is silent.....
He crept inside and saw dinner ready on table kept untouched.....
And a Pooja thali Buy where is she ......his eyes search for her
And he took some more steps to see Her sleeping on sofa

He is dressed up like a bride He took a deep breath as she was looking beautiful.
He sat down on ground to watch her sleeping..... Hairs falling on her face
He brushed her hairs back to clear her face so that he can have a clear view.
And she stirred and open her eyes....
He withdraw his hand and got up
She woke up too
"AP kab aye??"
"Bas abhi..... Tum .... Tumne fast kiya hai??" He asked urgently
"Han wo karwachauth hai aj" She said sweetly
"Mujhse Kaha Kyun nahi? Main jaldi ata......"
"Koi bat nahi" She said
"Koi bat kaise nahi hai? Aur tumne vrat Rakha hi kyu I mean I don't believe in all these things..... Khamkha pareshan Hui tum Tum subah see bhuki ho mere vajah see......."
He said in a stretch
"Apki wajah see nahi Apke liye...." She corrected him
"Ab humein nahi pata ke ye 100%work Karta hai ya nahi Lekin agar 1% bhi work Karta hai then chance is worth taking. Aur phir jus tarah see AP itna recklessly duty karte ho
Humein to Roz apki Jan ki hifazat ke liye karwaachauth ka vrat Rakhna chahiye "
She giggled And he was feeling a complete new emotion.
"Aur bas ek hi din ki to bat thi Ab chale bohot bhook Lagi hai" She said holding her stomach.....
He got lost in his own trance
",Arvind ji" She called him
"Han....." He came back from his thoughts
"Tum Chalo main washroom see ya" He said
She noded and went towards the terrace
And he rushed towards his room....
He came insides the washroom and locked the door and came towards the basin and rested his both hands on basin and raised his face towards the mirror And saw himself in tears
He didn't remember when he cried last time.....
Maybe when his mother left the house to go with another man leaving him and his father.
That feeling of being rejected , unwanted and unimportant use to crwal like an insect in his blood stream......
He wiped those tears and fresh water brimmed his eyes......
The idea that someone want you in their life filled him with hope...... That she will never leave him and go
She is absolutely clueless what this gesture of her had done inside him. He doesn't know if this vrat will increase his lifeline or not But it has definitely improved the quality of his life.....
He took another 15 mins to make himself normal He can't cry in front of her.....
