she went inside the room and saw him on a call pacing around here and there in the room sensing her presence he cut the call

"kyu bulaya aapne?" she asked while her one hand rested on her waist and she raised an eyebrow

His lips curved up a little

"couldn't find my favourite shirt" he said sitting on the bed

"how would i know which is your favourite shirt" she said with a frown

"wait wait..is it still that one?" she asked walking towards him

he nodded and chuckled

"you loved ruining it" he said looking at her

"i didn't intended to though but it always happened to be me who ruined it" she said laughing

He stared at her admiring as he got a glimpse of actually who she was before the happenings in her life

"So now help me find it Mrs.Malhotra"

she nodded and went to the closet to find his shirt

while he...

MIHIKA

He was leaving finally to udaipur for his business trip

He bent to touch mom's feet and then all the elders except dadi and then moved towards me

i nodded giving him a small smile

"take care and.."

"i will return soon, promise!" he said cutting me off

why does he has to cut me off mid convo i sighed but gave him a smile

"aaram se aa sakte ho aap mai apni bestfriend ka dhyaan rakhlunga don't worry" krishiv said keeping his hand on my shoulder

(you can take as much time as you want i will take care of my best friend)

"you better" he said with a warning look

"I will call you once i reach okay?" he said softly

i smiled nodding my head and Just like that he left waving a bye sitting in his aston martin

"bhabhi do you want to watch a movie" Ishani asked while stuffing her mouth with chips

i nodded smiling at her didn't wanted to sullen her mood

ruhi, ishani and krishiv and i got settled on the bed in krishiv's room

"Spider-Man no way home" krishiv said snatching the remote from ishani's hand

"no! jab we met" she said snatching the remote back

i sighed

"guys look keep fighting and then we will watch you guys instead of the movie yeah?" ruhi said sarcastically

and then they both agreed to watch some series on netflix i had no interest in

i just sat there uninterested because i didn't wanted to hurt them by saying no

"mihi are you fine?" krishiv asked looking at me as he shifted beside me

i nodded

"do you want to talk about it?" he asked

i shook my head in a no

"fine..do you remember how we used to eat golgappe while coming back home from college" he said smiling

i rested my head on his shoulder

i hummed

"let's go tomorrow? once bhai will be back he won't let me spend time with you" he said whinning

i chuckled

"there's nothing like that krish and yes depends on my mood if i feel good we can go" i said stuffing my mouth with snacks that were kept around on the bed

"we are going tomorrow okay i asked because i wanted to make you feel better and we can talk about things too" he said while caressing my head

"krish do you think i am doing right" i said looking at him

"what are you doing right?" he asked raising an eyebrow

"i married your brother..but I don't love him..i mean i am.. scared i might hurt him you know i am not over it" i said looking down on the cravings of petals on my suit

"listen to me mihi..you won't hurt him don't think like that try giving him a chance maybe he would heal you i know it's hard but you have to move on" he said caressing my head

"he is really willing to give all of himself to you..to your relationship try accepting him with your heart mihi.. trust me you will fall in love again" he said looking at me assuringly

i nodded my head

the thought of falling in love again scared me...what if..what if something happened again i am scared of every attachment i have right now i am scared I don't know who might hurt me leaving me behind just like that..

"mihi...smile please or else bhai will kill me for making his wife cry" he said wiping the tear which i didn't realise escaped my eye

i hated to be vulnerable

i composed my self and smiled

"he won't he's a nice man" i said smiling

"defending your husband much i see" krishiv said in a teasing manner

my phone buzzed it was a message from him

i quickly grabbed my phone

"Reached a few mins ago will call you in  5" he texted

a genuine smile appeared on my face when i looked beside krishiv peeping in my phone

"bad manners krish" i said pushing his forehead with my finger

"go your husband must be dying to hear your voice " ruhi said making me blush a little

"shut up" i said moving out of the room leaving giggling ruhi and others

i quickly went inside my room snuggling inside my blanket

when my phone ringed i quickly picked it up

"did you eat?" the first thing he asked as soon as i picked up and i smiled unknowingly

"yes had some snacks was feeling full from the pasta earlier" i said hugging the pillow beside me

"did you eat" i asked

"yes had salad in the flight" he said in a sleepy voice

"are you tired" i asked

"uhmhmm a little bit"

"Sleep and have some rest we will talk tomorrow okay? and don't overwork yourself" i said

"Take care and go out with krishiv tomorrow you will feel better"

i hummed

"good night mrs.malhotra" he said he didn't hang up the phone

"good night Mr.Malhotra sleep well" i said and hung up the phone closing my eyes a smile lingering on my lips while i dozzed off
