The guy broke the hug and said...
"See what I brought you..."
By saying this he gave Ishqi a box which looked like it held some foodstuffs...
Ishqi- what is it Justin?
Justin- it's your favorite spaghetti. I know you didn't eat anything since morning so I brought you this...
Immediately after hearing this a sense of guilt rushed through Ahaan. How can he ignore that? How can he forget that Ishqi didn't eat? But he was also a bit concerned since Ishqi was diabetic...
Ishqi- aww thank you!!
By saying this she took the box and was about to hug him again but Ahaan cleared his throat, letting them know that he was still there...
Ishqi- ohh I forgot to introduce you two... Ahaan this is Justin and Justin this is Ahaan...
Justin- pleasure meeting you...
Ahaan- same here.
By saying this they shook their hands...
Ishqi- we should get going it's pretty late...
Justin- we?
Ishqi- Ahaan's staying with me...
Justin- alright madam after you...
Saying this Justin opened the door and bowed infront of her. Ishqi just smiled and went inside. As she left, Justin didn't wait for Ahaan and just followed her.
As he stepped outside the cafe he saw both of them standing a bit far and having conversation...
As soon as Ishqi saw him she rushed towards him and then locked the front door...
Ishqi- aap car mein baith jaiye main abhi aati hu.
As mush as Ahaan wanted to wait he couldn't so he proceeded. As he sat inside he could see Ishqi and Justin talking...
Ishqi- Justin I just told you I'm going to help him.
Justin- well then let him stay with me.
Ishqi- he would rather prefer living on streets than with a guy who looks like his ex wife's boyfriend...
Justin- ughh!! Fine, but promise you'll call if you need something...
Ishqi- I will...okay now leave byee...
Ishqi hugged and soon he left. As Ishqi sat inside the car she could see that Ahaan was pretty upset...
Ishqi said nothing and just started driving. The whole car ride was very awkward. Soon they reached and without saying a word to the other both went to the apartment...
As soon as Ishqi locked the door Ahaan said...
Ahaan- tumne mujhe kabhi bataya kyu nahi ke tum cafe kholna chahti ho?
Ishqi- I don't want to talk about it...
Ishqi was about to go to her room when Ahaan held her hand and said...
Ahaan- you have to Ishqi...
Ishqi- aapko sachme sunna hai na toh suniye, ek baar nahi baar baar bataya tha aapko par aapko khudke kaam se fursat milegi tab aap aapni patni ke bareme sochte na. Yaad kijiye kya hua tha uss din...
Saying this Ishqi jerked his hand away and left...
Flashback...
Ishqi was waiting for Ahaan to return from work. It was almost 1 am. Ishqi saw him enter and without saying anything Ahaan went to their room. Ishqi served him dinner and waited for him to come downstairs...
Ahaan came and started eating his dinner. They say their in silence. Ishqi waited for him to finish so she could talk...
Soon after his dinner he went to their room while Ishqi cleaned and then followed him...
As she entered their room Ishqi saw him sitting in their bed with laptop on his lap. He was continuously typing without looking at her...
Ishqi went and sat beside him and said...
Ishqi- avm mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai.
Ahaan- Ishqi abhi nahi kal karenge.
Ishqi- pichle sou din se aap yahi bol rahe hai aaj toh aapko meri baat Sunni hi hogi.
Ahaan- Ishqi abhi nahi main kaam kar raha hu.
Ishqi- dikhta hai mujhe, aankhe hai mere paas.
Ahaan- then stop disturbing me.
Ishqi- avm mujhe mera khudka cafe kholna hai.
Ahaan- fine...
Ishqi- sirf fine??
Ahaan didn't listen what she said next and just typed...
Ishqi- Ahaan main aapse baat kar rahi hu.
Ahaan- what now Ishqi?? Tumne kaha tum restaurant kholna chahti ho I said fine, what now!!
Ishqi- kuch nahi...
Ishqi just laid on her side of the bed and turned her head towards the other side and cried herself to sleep...
After that Ishqi stopped caring for Ahaan. She just ignored the fact that she had a husband and so did he...
Flashback ends...
Ishqi came from her room and went straight to kitchen. She opened the container given by Justin...
Ishqi smiled seeing spaghetti. She poured the spaghetti in bowl and started heating it. Whereas Ahaan entered the kitchen and saw her heating the spaghetti...
Ahaan- I'm sorry for how i treated you...
Ishqi- it's okay aur waise bhi ab baat karke kya fayda. We both have moved on...
Ishqi knew she didn't move on but she also remembered what Ahaan said to her when he was intoxicated (that everyone in his family were asking him to marry again)...
Ahaan- Justin tumhara boyfriend hai?
Ishqi- none of your business!!
Ahaan was really upset hearing this. He said nothing just started walking towards Ishqi. As he reached near her she turned abruptly to get something and they both collided...
Ahaan's one hand held her shoulder while his other hand wrapped around her waist. He immediately noticed how slim she had gotten...
Their proximity was making them mad but before anything could happen Ishqi said...
"Ouch..."
Her hand was red. She had burned herself. As Ahaan saw this he immediately started searching for a first aid box...
He couldn't find one so he took ice from the fridge and started rubbing it around the burned part while Ishqi just kept staring at him...
Ahaan- I'm sorry. I should be thankful that you are helping me but instead main tumhare kaam mein naak adada Raha hu.
Ishqi- it's alright.
Ishqi applied cream on her wound and then served both of them spaghetti. They ate their food in silence and went to bed...
