That evening full of chaos, she saw him jump into his car and drive away. She quickly hired a cab and followed him to his apartment.

She rung the door bell and knocked the door impatiently waiting for him to open the door.

"I knew it was you" he said opening the door and stepped aside giving her space to enter.

A strange fear and nervousness gripped her as she stepped into his apartment for the first time.

"Mai...." she began to speak.

"Galti tumhari nahi hai Ishita. Meri hi pyar me koi kami hogi jo tumne meri jagah kisi aur ko chun liya" he stated shocking her.

"Aisa nahi hai. Tum galat samajh rahe ho" she tried to explain.

"Toh samjhao mujhe ke kyun aaj doosri baar mujhe tumne thukraya. Kyun dhoka diya mujhe?" He demanded.

"Tum jaisa samajh rahe ho waisa kuch bhi nahi hua hai. Mai donon baar majboor thi. Mai tumhe pehle bhi samjha chuki hoon ki pichli baar kya hua tha. Woh sab ek galatfehmi thi, trust me." She pleaded.

"Trust you? Par kaise? Kya guarantee hai ki tum phir se mera dil nahi todogi?" He asked.

"I.....I....I don't know" she stammered not knowing how to win his trust.

"Dekha! Tum ye bolte hue bhi hakla rahi ho. Iska matlab tumhe khud apne aap par bharosa nahi hai" he remarked.

"Nahi aisa nahi hai. Mujhe bas samajh me nahi araha hai ke tumhe bharosa kaise dilaun ke maine tumhe dhoka nahi diya. Tum hi batao ke mai aisa kya karun jisse tumhe mujh par yaqeen ho jaye" she asked.

"Rehne do Ishita. Tumse nahi hoga" he said looking away.

"Kyun nahi hoga mujhse. Tum batao toh sahi" she insisted.

"Nahi hoga tumse. Kyunki tum mujhse nahi usse pyar karti ho, us Raman Bhalla se" he announced.

She stood rooted to her spot shocked by his declaration. How on earth did he come to know that she was in love with Raman? She had hidden her love in her heart and in her lappy. There was no chance he had any access to both.

"Itni hairaan kyun ho? Kya ye sach nahi hai?" He asked shaking her.

She turned away unable to meet his gaze after the revelation.

"Keh do ke ye jhoot hai" he demanded turning her around.

"Yeh...jhoot.....hai" she stuttered unable to lie blatantly.

"Tumhari zaban kuch, aur tumhari aankhein kuch keh rahi hain Ishita. Ab tum hi batao mai kaise tumhari baaton par yaqeen karun?" He said.

"Mai is baat ko nahi jhutla sakti ki mai unse pyar karti hoon. Lekin jitni ye baat sachhi hai, utni hi sachhi ye baat bhi hai ke maine tumhe kabhi dhoka nahi diya. Jo tumne aaj office me dekha woh sirf nazron ka dhoka tha" she replied confidently.

"Chalo maan leta hoon ke tumne kabhi mujhe dhoka nahi diya. Ye bhi maan leta hoon ke aaj jo dekha woh nazron ka dhoka tha. Par Ishita mai is baat ko jaante hue kaise tunhare sath zindagi guzarun ke meri biwi kisi aur se pyar karti hai? Ek pati ko apni patni se kya chahye hota hai, pyar hi toh na? Iske bina is shadi ke maaine hi kya honge" he said.

"Aisa mat kaho Subbu. I promise mai poori koshish karungi ke tumhe woh pyar doon jo ek pati ko milna chahye. Kabhi koi kami nahi chodungi. I promise" she replied.

"Pichle 9 mahine se tum Raman ko apne dil se nahi nikal paayi ho. Ab hamari shadi ko sirf 2 din bache hain. Kya tum in do dinon me use bhulake, mujhe woh jagah de sakti ho jo tumne use diya hua hai?" He asked.

"Mai....woh....haan...mai....doongi" she stammered.

"Tum khud convinced nahi ho Ishita. Mai tumhari baaton se kaise convince ho paaunga. Its better ke hum ye rishta yahin par khatam kardein." He announced.

"No Subbu please don't do this. Tum jaante ho hamari family ki kitni badnaami hogi. Tum Appa ko jaante ho, unhe apni izzat kitni pyari hai. Mere khatir na sahi, Appa ke khatir jinhone tumhe government job dilayi aur permanent bhi karwaya. Kam se kam uske khatir toh tum mujhse shadi karlo" she begged.

"Cheee....tumhari soch kitni choti hai Ishita. Tum ye samajhti ho ke ek job ke khatir mai tumse shadi karunga? Pichli baar dhoka milne ke baad bhi mai isliye tumse shadi karne ko tayyar hua tha kyunki mai tumse pyar karta hoon, tumhe bhula nahi paaya tha mai. Lekin mujhe kya pata tha ke tum mere baare me aisi soch rakhti ho. Tumne aaj mujhe apni nazron me sharminda kardiya" he poured some fake tears.

"I am sorry Subbu. Mera woh matlab nahi tha. Maine pata nahi pareshani me aakar kya kya keh diya. Mujhe maaf kardo and please is shadi se inkar mat karo. Tum jo kahoge mai woh karne keliye tayyar hoon" she blabbered.

"Are you sure tum kar paaogi?" He asked doubtfully.

"Haan Subbu" she agreed having no idea what was coming ahead.

He could see how desperate she was to save her marriage and he played his card. "Then show me that you will love me" he said.

"I will. Par kaise?" She asked.

"Make love to me" he demanded shamelessly.

She was dumbstruck with his demand. Never in her wildest dream did she imagine he would ask her to do something like that.

"I told you, tum nahi kar paaogi. Now it's clear ke tum kabhi mujhse pyar nahi kar paaogi" he faked hurt.

"No, it's not that. Shadi se pehle...kaise?" She uttered.

"What is the problem Ishita? 2 din me hamari shadi ho hi rahi hai. Uske baad toh ye sab hona hi hai. Toh phir aaj kya problem hai?" He held her shoulders and asked.

"Wahi toh mai keh rahi hoon. Do din baad ye sab hona hi hai. Toh aaj kyun?" She asked boldly.

"Kyunki I need an assurance. Meri situation ko samjho Ishita. Do baar mai dhoka khaa chuka hoon. Agar mujhe is rishte ko aage badhana hai toh mujhe tumhari taraf se ek assurance chahye jiske baad mai aankh band karke tumpe bharosa kar sakun" he explained.

"What if? What if...ye sab hone ke baad tum shadi se inkar kardo?" She voiced her doubt.

"Dekha tumhe mujhpe bharosa bhi nahi hai Ishita. Na pyar hai, na bharosa hai. Ye kaisa rishta hai. Is rishte ko aage badhana bewakoofi hogi. Isliye please tum yahan se chali jao" he folded his hands in front of her.

She was put in a huge dilemma. She stood dumbfounded unable to make a decision. 

'He is going to be your husband anyway' she told herself hundred times, yet was unable to agree to his demands.

"Kya soch rahi ho Ishita? Agar tum maan jao toh mai is rishte ko ek aur mouqa dene keliye tayyar hoon. Kya tum tayyar ho Ishita?" He asked shaking her out of her thoughts.

"Haan?" She said in a trance.

"Tumne haan kaha! Thanks Ishita. I love you and I want to make love to you, now" he said coming closer.
