*Usha Pov*

Next day, started as usual with their normal fighting's and they didn't even utter a single word about my marriage. Maybe they will forget about my marriage if I stay away from them and let them fight as much as they want.

That's what I decided and left the house feeling a little upset still about the way they talked about my marriage to some stranger.

I reached the café to see Abhay sipping his coffee with a big frown on his face. I reached the table and sat in front of me. He didn't acknowledge me at all.

"What happened? Is your company in debts or something?" I asked him, snapping my fingers.

"My company is more than fine than me." he replied still not looking at me.

"Ok then I will go and ask Mr.Raj for a date." I said picking my bag.

"What? Then what about me?" he asked holding my hand.

"So you finally decided to look at me?" I asked back smirking and ordered some coffee.

"Usha! My parents are behind me about my marriage. I don't know what to do." He replied.

"No way! A similar thing is happening to me also. But they didn't utter anything about that today so I think I am safe." I said, smiling at the boy who placed the cup.

"Dad too didn't say anything today, so maybe I am also safe." He said smiling back.

We both started talking normally and then left the café. I stopped him when he started walking away and asked, "So today you will not stand me up right?"

"That is not going to be the case. And shall I pick you up?" he asked.

"I will be there by 7." I replied and walked towards Raj Industries.

Our meeting finished successfully so we all left the office at 6:30. I decided to reach the restaurant and wait for him. He already told me he reserved for both of us.

After looking at the table booked for us, I went inside the washroom to freshen up a little. After doing that I saw Abhay sitting at our table.

I looked at the time to note that it is already 7. Why not I just have some fun? I thought and sat at another unreserved table from where I can have a clear view of him.

I ordered some juice and started drinking it drop by drop literally. After half n hour he started calling me. I kept my mobile in silent mode, so there was no problem.

After ten more minutes, I lifted it and said "Hello?"

"Usha! Where are you?" he asked, looking at the entrance.

"Oh I am very sorry. Mr.Raj and I just sat talking generally, and we forgot the time." I replied in a low tone.

"What? So will you come now? I will wait for you." He asked, and I see him rubbing his temple.

"Sorry! I don't think I can come there now. Shall we do it some other day?" I asked getting up and paid for the juice.

I looked at the waiter to see him sighing in relief that I got up from there. Why is he behaving like I just made him lose a big order by sitting there? I mean half of the restaurant is empty.

"It's ok Usha! We will do it some other time." he replied and I hung up bidding 'Bye'.

He leaned his head on the table and just laid there. I went to the table and cleared my throat after taking the seat.

"I am leaving!" he said and then looked up.

"Sorry about that. I just wanted to see how you will behave." I said smiling.
