Y/n Pov:
I was doing the dishes when I suddenly heard a knocking sound at the door...
Y/n: Who's there? ( You went towards the door )
I opened the door and saw Nischay standing...

Nischay: H-H-Hello, Goodevening!
Y/n: Oh Hi! 
Nischay: Soooo...
Y/n: You wanna say something?
Nischay: Ummm... May I come in?
Y/n: Oh yeah! Please...

Nischay went straight into the bathroom. He was so drained, so he decided to go to sleep.

Y/n POV:
I was glad when I saw Nischay come back, but I couldn't figure out why I kept thinking about what Reeni said...  
I was thinking about this but suddenly, My phone rang...
Y/n: H-Hello?
Reeni: Hello i am reeni...
Y/n: Sorry I don't have time to talk to you...
Reeni: B-But I want to say a few words...
Y/n: Ok, then say what you want...
Reeni: Nischay called me and said he'd be home today, so is he back yet?
Y/n: Yeah he is... A-And he r-r-ranged YOU!?
Reeni: Yeah he ranged me, Didn't he ring you?
Y/n: Yeah!
Reeni: Well, One more thing... He left his wallet at my house so tell him to get it back soon...
Y/n: He went to your house in between his shoot?
Reeni: Yes... Why?
Y/n: I-I just don't want to talk about it.
Reeni: Ok then, This is all I wanted to ask, Take care...
Y/n: Ok...

I went upstairs to the bedroom, Nischay was there sleeping peacefully, but I felt like I was on the verge of crying. I just found it so difficult to look at him. It's just, Nischay seemed like he was...changing, but Reeni made me realize something...'People are never who they appear to be

I almost lost myself in him. Why did I do that? How could I have forgotten so easily, when we first met?

I stared at him and bit my lip, trying hard not to cry...' why did I have to end up feeling like this?'
Nischay (In half asleep): Hey are you Ok?
Y/n: Yes I am...
Nischay: It feels like you are tired, Aren't you?
Y/n: N-No!
Nischay: I heard that you hired a lawyer.
Y/n: Yes
Nischay: For what?
Y/n: For our divorce papers... and they will be ready in One or two days...
Nischay: Oh Yeah...
Y/n: Ok bye... Goodnight
Nischay: Well... Y/n can you sleep with me for the last time?
Y/n: Huh?
Nischay: I mean it's up to you, I am not forcing
Y/n: Oh...
Nischay: Just for the last time...
An awkward silence was there... Y/n didn't respond...

Y/n POV:
I wanted to refuse but my heart was saying something else...
I turned off the light and went beside him. I covered myself under the covers, my back was turning his way, and the moonlight was hitting my face as I slowly closed my eyes were closed, and the moonlight felt nice, but...I was upset My tears slowly trickled down, with no emotion in my eyes. It was a disappointment, but this time...in myself and these new feelings. Dad was maybe right, if I can't even control myself then how am I supposed to even take care of myself? I grasped tightly on my sheets as I sniffled

Nischay POV: I turned around and looked at Y/N's back, I didn't know why, but it was...sad.I can't tell what she feels, but just seeing her like this, made my heart soften. Does she get over it after crying her heart out? Or does it still hurt, but hides it inside? I heard a sniffle and I realized....she was crying. I wanted to apologize for everything, but I swallowed my words in...Couldn't even comfort right I could hear the rain starting to pour, making me a bit more nervous than before so I took a deep breath. I wanted to apologize to her a long time ago. I don't know why I found it so difficult to say, but now I'm ready
Nischay: Y-Y/n!
Y/n: Yes?
Nischay: No Nothing...
Maybe I am not ready... (Crying in lassan style XD)

Next Day

Y/N POV: It has been already 2 weeks since I've been working again in my office. It's quite nice, the employees are nice and respectful. It was hard to take track of everything, but finishing was very satisfying at the end of the day. 
Then my manager called me from the back and said "Hey give this coffee to that client, She wants this from you. She wants to talk to you" 
Y/n: Huh! from me?
Manager: Please don't say know...
Y/n: Ok...

Y/N: Good evening ma'am...I said as I placed the drink on the table, trying to avoid eye contact because it was... Nischay's mother
Mrs Dimple: Hmm...So you work here often? I stayed quiet because the atmosphere was a bit awkward

Mrs Dimple: Why don't you sit here and have a chat for a moment
She said with a delicate yet demanding voice
Y/N: I have a lot of work to do, sorry I-
I looked at the manager and he was signalling me to stay with her, maybe because she was Nischay's mother...
Y/N: O-okay.

I slowly sat down and nervously smiled
Mrs Dimple: (chuckles) What's the rush?
She gave me an intimidating type of smirk. I squeezed my hands tightly, but she didn't see because they were under the table
Mrs Dimple: Nischay, how has he been?
She spoke softly as she scooped 3 spoons of sugar into her coffee
Y/N: Like always ...meh
I responded bluntly. I covered my mouth, surprised by my sudden casual informal speech.
Her darkened gaze suddenly turned into a glare
Mrs Dimple: What did you just say?
Y/N: He's a Meh...a meta-husband, She had a confused look across her face
Mrs Dimple: Meta-husband.?
Y/N: Yeah!, he's so good at being a husband, that he's almost unhuman
I had no idea what I was saying right now, but his mom was always given me these odd looks ever since I met her.
Y/N: What I mean is that he's a hard worker...
Mrs Dimple: Well that won't matter if he doesn't get married of course...
Y/N: Hmm? why is that?
Mrs Dimple: He can become more independent and richer, but yet it won't doI looked at her confusedly but she seemed annoyed by my expression
Mrs Dimple: You know why I trust Abhishek despite him being younger
She continued as she sipped her coffee
Y/N: No, why is that?
Mrs Dimple: Nischay is not disciplined, not a good listener, and his arrogance... rubs me off, while Abhishek is obedient
Does her trust depend on favouritism? I...
Y/N: So it's because you like Abhishek, is that what you mean?
Mrs Dimple: Not really, I think it's more because I hate Nischay(chuckles)I was a bit stunned by her answer and at the same time concerned
Y/N: He's your son...even if you love one more than the other you should-She then placed her coffee down, and my words were cut off when she spoke
Mrs Dimple: Useless child! are giving me a lesson in parenting skills
Y/N: N-no, that's not what I meant
Mrs Dimple: Didn't your parents teach you any manners?
Y/N: Madam... I
Mrs Dimple: You...I didn't want you to marry my son in the first place
My heart clenched when I heard that, I felt offended and a bit humiliated because some people were listening. The manager came and bowed down
Manager: Sorry, Miss it's her first time working here, she still-The manager was slapped by Mrs Dimple before he could even finish, making her drop to the ground, she was about to argue, but I spoke...I was dead serious tho. I didn't want to let anyone mistreat others like that, even if it was Nischay's mother, I wasn't afraid to confront anyone this time, maybe I was going to regret it sooner or later, but now.....
Y/N: Honestly I couldn't care less (smiles)
The manager who was on the cold floor seemed a little surprised, but at the same time uneasy.
Mrs Dimple's eyes went wide and she looked like she wasn't going to hold back.
Abhishek: Mom? What are you doing here?
Mrs Dimple: Look, at this mannerless child, she has no respect for elders
I looked at her in disbelief, I mean she got suddenly mad at me for sharing my opinion, and now she slapped my manager.
Abhishek: Mom, why don't you go home? He said as he held her hand
Mrs Dimple: Sweety are you being serious? How can we let a girl with such low status become part of our family, I mean, just look at her. She said as she pointed towards me
Abhishek: It's okay, relax mom, I already called a taxi
Mrs Dimple: You're kicking me out of my own building, Abhishek!?
Abhishek: Look, mom, judging by what I just saw, you were treating her like a peasant. I'm just letting you know she had no wrong intentions
Mrs Dimple: Dear, please....
Abhishek: Come on let's go
He said as he held onto her hands. He tried to lead her out. They walked away casually, but once she passed me she slightly shoved me. I covered myself as I went down.

BUT SUDDENLY......
