Abhira was sitting in her cabin with some files when suddenly Riya barged in. Abhira who was going through her files, looked up at her as she suddenly barged in.

"Abhira, Abhira. Tu theek hai na?" She asked as she made her stand checking her forehead which had a bandage.

"Mai theek hu Riya." Abhira said

"Yeh sab kaise hua Abhira? Tera accident kaise hua?" Riya asked.

"Ummm....voh actually mai road se jaa rahi thi aur achanak ek gaadi se takra gayi.' Abhira said.

"Paagal hai kya? Tera dhyaan kaha rehta hai? Agar kuch ho jaata toh?" Riya asked angrily.

"Ho jaata toh accha hai na Riyu. Mar jaati. Aur apni mumma papa ke pass chali jaati." Abhira said chuckling sadly.

"Yeh kya bakwas kar rahi hai Abhira? Ese kyu bol rahi hai?" Riya asked.

"Riya, mujhe kuch nahi hoga, tension mat lo" Abhira assured Riya.

"Par Abhira, tu dhyan se chal nahi sakti?" Riya's concern was evident.

"Haan, mujhe pata hai, galti ho gayi. Main bach gayi, tension mat le," Abhira replied.

"Par Abhira, yeh kaisi baatein kar rahi hai? Tumhein dikh nahi raha kitni risky thi yeh situation?" Riya's voice was filled with worry and frustration.

"Riya, chill na, main toh mazaak kar rahi thi. Bas, dhyan rakhungi agli baar," Abhira said.

"Thik hai, par agli baar aise risk na lena. Tumhare bina hum kaise manage karenge?" Riya said with a sigh of relief.

"Lekin tujhe mere accident ke baare mein kaise pata chala?" Abhira asked.

"Tere husband, Armaan Poddar ka call aaya tha. Hospital ke form fill up karne ke liye teri saari details jaise ki teri birthday, tujhe kisi cheez se allergy hai yaa nahi yaa fir teri koi past medical history ke baare mein janane. Yaar, esa kaisa pati hai tera, Abhira. Teri birthday tak nahi jaanta." Riya said making Abhira embarrassed.

"Haan, pata hai. Armaan ko dates yaad rakhne mein thodi dikkat hai." Abhira lied.

"Jhooth bol rahi hai mujhse?" Riya asked seriously.

"Na...nahi mai bhala tu...tujhse kyu jhooth bolungi." She said diverting her gaze from Riya.

"Abhira, sach bata. Tujhe kuch chupaane ki zarurat nahi hai. Kya sach mein Armaan tere birthday bhool gaya?" Riya pressed.

Abhira hesitated for a moment, "Riya, actually, Armaan ne mere birthday ko bhool nahi kiya tha. Woh bas... busy tha, kaam mein uljha hua tha, isliye shayad yaad nahi aaya."

Riya narrowed her eyes, "Abhira, tu mujhse jhoot toh nahi bol rahi na?"

"Meri aur Armaan ki shaadi sirf ek deal hai, Riya." Abhira said without any emotions.

"Kya? Deal?" Riya asked confusedly.

"Haa. Armaan ne meri .Umma ko promise kiya tha ki voh humesha mera khayal rakhega, mera saath dega aur isiliye humari shaadi hui. Lekin voh shaadi sirf ek deal hai. Jo ek saal baad khatam hone wali hai. Bas kuch hi mahine baaki hai. Aur phir yeh shaadi bhi khatam ho jaeegi." Abhira said.

Riya was taken aback by Abhira's revelation. "Abhira, yeh tune kya keh diya! Shaadi sirf ek deal hai? Aur voh bhi khatam hone wali hai?"

Abhira nodded, her expression still devoid of any emotion. "Haan, Riya. Yeh sach hai. Meri aur Armaan ki shaadi sirf ek samjhaute ka hissa hai. Par ab voh khatam ho rahi hai."
