Since it was sunday, she was getting bore at home, Sid hadn't visited her in past 2 days as he had gone out of the town for some business meeting, and she was missing him, badly. She took out her cell phone and messaged him.
"Boss! Sunday bada boring hai! I wanna go out. Please, come."
She waited for his reply, patiently. After a moment, her cell phone beeped, indicating receiving a message. She smiled when she read his reply.
"Coming to meet you in evening, then we will go out."
She threw her cell phone away and went to her closet, looking through all her dresses, she was finding hard to chose the right dress, for the evening. Her eyes lit up when she found a gift wrapped box, kept hidden behind his suits, with her nickname written on the note. She picked up and tore the wrapping paper, she opened the box and her jaw dropped when she found a beautiful red colored dress inside. Without caring for anything, she started jumping in joy like a kid. She finally found the perfect dress for the evening.
Shukla Mansion
Sid was in washroom, taking shower, he had just returned back from his trip. While Aarti entered her husband's study-room cum bedroom, to take his messy clothes to give for laundry. She was picking up his clothes from the basket when a small packet from his jeans pocket, slipped out. She bend down and picked it up, her heart was beating loudly, when she saw it was condom packet. She was confused, heartbroken seeing it, they had never shared physical relation, then what this doing with him.
"Is it possible?" Aarti thought to herself, then mentally smacking herself for thinking about him to cheat on her.
"No!! I know, Sid will never do something like this to me. He will never go to any other woman. I'm his wife, why will he go to other woman to satisfy his needs-" Aarti tried assuring herself.
"I'll ask him what this condom is doing with him and clear everything before reaching any conclusion." Aarti thought to herself, and calmed her ragged breathing. To be honest, she was scared, what if its true, what if he is have another girl in his life, then what will she do?
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sid, who came there after getting ready, was angry to see her in his room.
"I came to take your messy clothes for laundry, but can i ask you something?" Aarti asked him, Sid narrowed his eyes at her.
"Yeah!" He answered plainly, walking toward his table, he picked up his wallet & wrist watch. Aarti was fighting with herself, whether to ask him or not? Will it make their relation more bitter.
"Aarti, I don't have whole day for you-" Sid mumbled, looking at her, he waited for her to say something.
"All are going out for dinner tonight, will you join me, I mean us?" Aarti asked him, nervously fidgeting with her fingers. She couldn't bring herself to ask him what that condom is doing with him, she wasn't ready to hear the truth, because little did she knew her doubts are true.
"I have a meeting." Sid answered her, because he knew, if he didn't made any good excuse, his mother will force her to join them, and spend time with Aarti, which would be the last thing he would ever want.
"What work?" She couldn't help but question him further, Sid frowned at her.
"Stop acting like a damn wife, I don't find it important to tell you my day's every detail-" Sid spat harshly before taking his cell phone & car keys, he walked out of the room, leaving a teary Aarti. behind.
"Godji, Why can't he see, I love him? Even after knowing everything, he is still not ready to give a chance to me." Aarti cried, feeling helpless & hurt by his behavior toward her.
