Monami looked at the weather weakly as the rains were in no mood to stop tonight and the glimpse of moon seemed like a dream.

"Suman ji ab apna vrat kaise todengi?" Suman ji said as she had fasted for her husband Rajesh ji today  because it was the auspicious occasion of Karwachouth.

Monami turned to look at her, she wanted to comfort her but she was barely keeping herself in control as she had to do the rigourous training while staying empty stomach.

So much to keep the fast secretly as when she told Karan about it, he immediately denied it.

Flashback starts

"Nahi Monami, tum koi fast nahi rakhogi! "  He said.

"Lekin mujhe karna hai Karan! " She argued back.

"I said no Monami! Tumhara pura focus apni training pe hona chahiye! Aur agar fast rakhogi toh training kaise karogi? Hmm? Mai nahi chahta ki meri wajah se tum apni training miss karo! " He explained her and in that moment she wanted to kiss him for his concern for her but she controlled her emotions.

"Mujhe fast rakhna hai! " She said stubbornly.

"Rani Saaheba is baat pe zid mat hi karo toh accha hoga! Mai tumhari health aur training dono ke saath compromise nahi karunga woh bhi ek fast ke liye! " He told her.

"But isse.. " She was interrupted by him.

"Aapke partner ki long life hojati hai, haina? Iski koi guarantee nahi hai ki tumhare fast karne se meri zindagi lambi ho jayegi. Batao hai koi guarantee? " He asked.

"Nahi.. Woh.. " She struggled to speak as she didn't know what to say.

"Bas no more discussion! Tum fast nahi rakhogi! " Karan said with finalty .

Flashback ends

Even though he had denied but she still kept the fast secretly for him not just for his long life but out of love that she had for him.

"Monami chalo chal ke dinner kar lete hai! Suman ji toh aaj yahi rahengi! " Koel said who didn't want to see more of Suman ji's drama.

"Nahi Koel tum jao! Mera man nahi hai dinner karne ka! " She told her.

"Are you sure? " Koel asked.

"Hmm! " Monami said and continued to look at the rain.

"Ok! " She said and left.

Faizi who was passing by along with Karan observed the girls.

"Kya hua ruk kyu gaye? " Karan asked as he too halted his steps.

"Karan, yeh monami tsunami ke chehre ka rang kyu uda hua hai aaj? Uski tabyat kharab hai? " He asked.

"Nahi toh! Subah tak toh theek thi! Ruk mai dekh ke aata hu! " He said.

"Hmm! " Faizi hummed as Karan left to have a talk with Monami.

"Rani Saaheba kya hua dinner ke liye kyu nahi chal rahi ho?" He asked once he reached upto her.

"Uh... Woh.. Mera man nahi hai! " She said softly.

"Kyu man nahi hai? Tabyat kharab hai? Tumhare chehre ka rang bhi uda hua hai! Bohot weak lag rahi ho! " He said worried about her.

"Aisa kucch nahi hai! Mai theek hu! Chalo dinner ke liye chalte hai! " She said standing up as she didn't want to answer his questions.

"Okay!" They walked inside the mess and sat with their friends respectively.
