Do Pyaar Karne Waale [RAGHVI]

05: bura na maano, holi hai!

AU—Mandaar has returned and is alive. Raghav and Pallavi get into an argument. She goes to her mayka to celebrate Holi. Mandaar is there and he applies red Holi color on Pallavi when Raghav arrives. Raghav gets upset and leaves. Pallavi comes home in the evening but how will she pacify him?

"FARHAD!" Raghav yelled the moment he entered his house after visiting Pallavi's mayka in order to solve their argument from earlier this morning. Instead of thinking of their argument, she was laughing with that Mandaar. Her ex. She even let Mandaar put color on her when she refused to play Holi with him after he just questioned one decisions of hers. "Mera daaru ka bottle lao!"

He was furious with her behavior. She was his wife and he was her husband. That Mandaar didn't even fit into the equation of their marital relation. How could she easily let him smear that  red powder on her golden skin when she refused to even talk to him after he told her something about her rambo baap?

"FARHAD!" Raghav yelled again, his voice echoing in the high-ceiling house. He needed a drink now. But that stupid Saree Ki Dukaan had to trash all his bottles. When he needed something or someone the most, it/they were never by his side. Raghav gnashed his teeth together in frustration as he waited to hear Farhad's frantic footsteps but nothing came. "Farhad!" he yelled again, his voice already sore.

"Ji, Anna?" Reddy popped into the foyer and asked on behalf of Farhad's absence.

"Where's Farhad?" Raghav asked with bloodshot eyes. It was obvious he cried on the way home. He already knew the moment Pallavi came back home, she would pack her bags and go live with Mandaar. He knew she loved Mandaar because she never loved him, Raghav Rao, owner of Jayati Jewelers, India ki sabse hot bachelor (well, not anymore). She didn't care about that or him, for that matter.

"Anna, aap theek ho? Kya aapko kuch khana hai?" Reddy asked, worried for his distraught boss.

"Maine pucha Farhad kahan hai!" he said, raising his voice slightly when he didn't like the answer Reddy gave him.

"W-Woh bahar gaya, sir."

"Kyu? I didn't tell him to do anything today," Raghav said, mostly to himself. Instead of waiting for Reddy's reply, he dialed Farhad's number. The moment his secretary picked up, he asked, "Where are you?"

"Bhabhi ke liye water balloons khareed raha hoon," he replied. "Aap ko kuch chahiye, Anna?"

Tumhaara Bhabhi mujhe hamare ghar mein chahiye, he thought to himself. "Nahin," Raghav immediately replied and cut the call. He would deal with this woman when she returned home. He closed his eyes in frustration but abruptly opened them again when his mind reminded him of the image of his wife and Mandaar. 

When he'd arrived at the Deshmukh Niwas, he had the full intention of apologizing to Pallavi and being the first one to put color on her. However, the moment he arrived, he saw that Sanki Buddhe ki aulaad hovering over Pallavi, who was lying on the floor. The two were laughing like they just cracked a better joke than he could and even applied color to each other's faces. Raghav couldn't handle watching their shamelessness, so he drove back home; frustrated, angry, hurt by...Pallavi or himself? He didn't know. He just knew that he'd hurt Pallavi many more times than Mandaar and his love for her didn't matter because the effect of bad memories always outweighed the good ones.
