He knew the officer would definitely play a dirty game and he was ready to face everything.“Hello….o, Mr. Joshi”, a manly voice spoke in a shrewd manner annoying Adhyayan.“Who is it?” Adhyayan asked as his hands stopped chopping the vegetables.“Ah!

He was trying to figure out the ways to handle the negative publicity and bring out the truth of this corrupt officer however, he was feeling ashamed of himself as he was not able to find any way out through this.

    Today was indeed a big day for Adhyayan. Mentally thanking Anvesha for her plan, he huffed standing in front of the mirror as he wore a purple colored T-shirt. He had called Samaira, his director and postponed the shoot of his cooking show. After much negotiations, she had decided to air an old episode. Carrying a big black bag in his hand with contained heaps of newspapers covered by bundles of five hundred rupee notes, he moved out of his penthouse.On the other hand, Anvesha called her best friend, Nikhil as soon as she got up in the morning.

    The clock struck five. Adhyayan was waiting at the secluded spot of the Kalkaji Temple premises, behind the Bhairav temple with the big black bag. He had already paid his regards to the revered Kalka Devi and had offered his prayers. He trusted on the Almighty and wished for justice as he waited for the cunning food inspector. He wondered that the corrupt food inspector had no fear of the God in his sly eyes as Mr. Kaushik had made up his mind to take bribe and commit a crime right under the nose of the Goddess Kalkaji in the temple premises. Adhyayan had faith that the Almighty would punish the corrupt food inspector definitely.His trance of thoughts was broken by the ringing of his phone. He received the call only to hear the hoarse voice of the CBI officer Mr. Aditya Bhardwaj saying, “Position taken. Don’t worry”.Adhyayan mumbled a ‘thanks’ and the line went dead.

    Adhyayan disinterestedly reached the Delhi Cantonment Railway Station sharp at eight in the morning on his girlfriend’s demand.

With his luggage, he patiently waited for Anvesha who had denied him to pick her up from her studio apartment.He was busy scrolling down his phone screen checking the news feed anxiously trying to avoid the gaze of other passengers who seemed to be busy in their own world, laughing and giggling, enjoy their lives. He felt fish out of water standing alone like a zombie waiting for his partner to arrive.On the other hand, Anvesha was over-excited for the trip not because, Adhyayan was accompanying her but because she finally got an opportunity to travel in one of the oldest steam locomotive of India.

    Next morning, Adhyayan woke up first. He had expected Anvesha to be in his arms like it happen in the romantic movies but nothing of that sort had happened. Anvesha was sleeping on the left side of the bed facing towards him. Anvesha was cocooned on the bed in the blanket covering her shoulders. He sighed looking at the pretty Anvesha who was looking breathtakingly beautiful with her messed up curly hair strands covering her face. She was sleeping peacefully like a child. He wished how alluring it seems to get up every day near adorable Anvesha as he got up from the bed and got ready for an amazing day.Anvesha woke up from her beauty sleep hearing the shower running in the bathroom.

With his salt and pepper hair and grey stubble, he still looked equally drool worthy to Anvesha even after twenty three years of their marriage.Whistling at her, he walked towards her not to help her with her blouse but to dip his face in the crook of her neck and pepper soft kisses on her body. Even after twenty three years of their marriage, their love and lust was as same as it was years ago. Relishing his touches, she groaned and remembered they needed to get ready as soon as possible. “Adhyayan, help me with my blouse and let me get ready”, she mumbled sheepishly while he chuckled.Helping her out, he dressed into formal black suit while his wife was clad into a white silk saree with golden borders.

    "Hurry up, Anu", Madhu scoffed. The old lady was really contented that finally her daughter was getting married but at the same time she was disappointed at the sudden marriage. A wave of nostalgia hit her as she remembered the day Anvesha was born twenty-nine years ago. Never had she thought that her daughter would grow up so quickly."Nothing is done, Papa, I repeat, nothing", Hruday announced as soon as he entered the house.

    Adhyayan’s parents were clearly offended with the remark of Anvesha’s father but they waited for Anvesha to react. They were well-aware that it was Anvesha who needed time, not their son.Anvesha, on the other hand, could not take it anymore when she saw her parents throwing accusatory glares at her adorable boyfriend. She said, “Papa, umm… actually, I need some time. I am at the peak of my career and I cannot afford getting married right now.”Hari Prakash Joshi was offended for once as he believed in his upbringing and he knew Adhyayan would support Anvesha as well as her career but before he could assure Anvesha for the same, his wife whispered to him, “Hari, she is just twenty-five. Every girl has inhibitions about the responsibilities that come with marriage. She needs time to get acquainted to everything, Adhyayan has told me.”Hari Prakash Joshi understood his wife’s point of view and nodded as he cho

    “Hello, Have you reached?” Adhyayan questioned as he received the call from his father. He had instructed his employees to conduct the event flawlessly as it was a business lunch at his restaurant. A flair of anxiety, fear and uncertainty crept on his face as his heart began to thump really fast. It was a Saturday morning and his parents were arriving at his place with an agenda to talk with Anvesha’s parents and finalize the engagement of the couple.“Yes, we are at the airport”, Mr. Hari Prakash Joshi answered back as soon as he heard his son’s voice.

    It was sharp twelve at night when Adhyayan dialed Anvesha’s caller ID. It was Saturday and Anvesha had turned twenty-six. He smiled as he felt blessed to have a perfect girl in his life. It had been a week since he had returned from his hometown. He surely missed his sister and his mother with whom he had spent his weekend after six long years.He was a bit upset with his father but he tried not to think about the old man. A smile crept on his face as he remembered the excited version of Anvesha who chirped like a school girl when he narrated about his bike ride to the hilltop at Mussoorie with his sister on Sunday. As a token of gratitude, Adhyayan had decided to surprise Anvesha on her birthday. He had baked her favorite cake and had ordered her favorite roses.
