**needs editing, I am too tired to do that. Will do it some other day

Shekar and Meera had been living in out of choice, all the rules were laid out perfectly,the rules were simple, each one had a separate room, every bill in the house is shared, every chore is divided. It was love for books that got them hooked,4 years on, while the romance was loosing its fizz they still believed that they were perfect match for each other. It was no hassle relationship, neither one was expected to attend to each others relatives, parents were exceptions. Friends, family were warned against the 'marriage' saga! It was convenient arrangement! For a outsider, it seemed liked 2 friends sharing a house, just that they were in a relationship and this is one rule that was firmly set! Even if it was a living with no legal papers, cheating was not an option! Each one was in this arrangement, because they were in Love and just didn't believe in marriage to certify it. Being faithful is all that they had promised to each other.

Then,one day Meera met Alok. Alok , Riya's brother, an ex army officer who had left the armed forces to follow his passion. Alok was running a school for the under privileged and was in town to collect donations, he was at their office, when Riya introduced the two. And then, they just kept bumping into each other. Alok was a avivd reader himself.6 months on, they had come really close. And then one day Alok asked her out! Meera didn't say no. She needed some time.

She had been in this relationship of convenience for 4 years now, she was a fiercely independent lady, even today Shehkar and she shared an amazing rapport, there was absolutely no hassles, no roha dhona, nothing! That was the point, this arrangement, had nothing that she could look back to expect Love! What seemed fun then, now seemed a drab. She decided to talk it out with Shekhar.She was not bound by any legal paper to be faithful to Shekar, it was just their trust and respect for the relationship that was holding her back.

Alok wanted marriage, that was a difficult choice.But then, how long was convenience going to work.

When Shekhar first heard about Alok, he felt cheated, angry, she was not physically involved but at some level there was this emotional connect that she had established with Alok.Could he hold her back? What was there to tempt her back to him? Love, was there love between them? This whole arrangement had drawn them further away from each other.

Live in isn't as easy as it seems!
