Mantu was about to kiss his wife just then Amaya placed a hand in between. Mantu widened his eyes as Amaya said, "You will not give me a kiss and I'll not give you as well. I am..." "I know meri maa...I know... Angry!", said Mantu as he joined his hands together and Amaya felt embarrassed. She tucked in her sleeve of embarrassment as she said, "If you know then do something that makes me happy and I'll forgive you." Amaya picked up her cup of tea and drank the tea. Mantu slowly pulled her towards him as he wraps his arms around her waist and secure it.

She sprangs up and sit on his lap. "I thought my love makes you happy.", said Mantu as he kissed her bare shoulder softly. "It does... but... I don't know when you will change your mind again and will stop talking to me. You have lost the trust I had on you... Mantu. I am disappointed and all you know is making fun of me.", said Amaya as she sat on the bed and looked away trying to hide her tears.

Mantu sat up straight as he held her hand. "Amaya... I am genuinely sorry.", replied Mantu. Amaya nodded. "Amaya...", whispered Mantu and he placed a finger under her chin and turned her face towards him. She was playing with her fingers as she was avoiding his gaze. He lifted her chin and made her look in his eyes. His eyes were soft and loving. He held her waist with one hand and picked up her hand with his another. He opened her palm in which 'M' was written with henna. "Now you know why, I was written in your fate in both ways.", said Mantu softly. Amaya looked at him confused.

"You told the ladies to write 'A', which too was applicable as my real name is Abhimanyu... but Mahadev wanted to assure you one more time and he changed that 'A' to 'M'. My babuji kept this heavy name because he wanted me to become something big, earn my name. And I never told anyone this name because I failed to do that. That's why I never shared my real name with you as well but now that you are my... wife, you should be a part of every single thing I do. For me, inside my head Mantu and Abhimanyu are two different people. Till yesterday only Mantu loved you. Mantu, who is growing, maturing and discovering things. Mantu who is making mistakes. Who did the mistake of ignoring his love for his Amaya. Mantu is me, who still needs to achieve somethings before he became Abhimanyu but... one thing which you have done is that you made Abhimanyu capable of loving someone. In my head he is a strong headed person who can't love, which once upon a time Mantu was as well. After yesterday's event even Abhimanyu loves Amaya. After knowing that you are giving up on me, for your family... the Abhimanyu inside me fought with Mantu... and defeated him. Abhimanyu can't see his love to be someone else's no matter what. Abhimanyu was ready to enter into the chakravyooh to save his Amaya. And this Abhimanyu doesn't make stupid decisions like Mantu. He is mature enough to understand the responsibilities of marriage and love.", said Mantu as he kissed her hand softly.

Amaya smiled between the tears. Mantu too smiled seeing her smiling and kissed her forehead softly. "Is Abhimanyu's wife Amaya happy?", asked Mantu. Amaya nodded. As she sat near him and said, "Mantu's wife Amaya is super happy." Mantu smiled. Amaya traced her finger on his face as she leaned and adjusted her face in the crook of his neck. It fits perfectly. Mantu tightens his grip on her as he closes his eyes too. Amaya looked at him and kissed him lightly on his chin. Mantu opened his eyes and Amaya said, "You know I was so afraid when I was getting ready. I knew I was creating a hell for myself. I wanted to run away from there. I couldn't even think of Rama as my... hus". Amaya choked. Mantu held her from her back as he said, "I know Amaya. I know how cruel Sumitra aunty can be when it comes to her greediness." Amaya looked at the bed as she thought of Rachita.

"Don't worry. Rachita di will be fine. Absolutely fine. Rama loves her and he for the first time took a stand for himself and his love Amaya. It was his first step. I know he will take care of her and I too will try to keep an eye. You don't stress yourself.", said Mantu as he touches his forehead with hers. Amaya smiled as she said, "How do you get to know everything I think?" "Cause I have a brain which you don't.", said Mantu as he laughed and Amaya punches him with a pillow. "You are so freaking mean Mantu.", screamed Amaya as Mantu ran away from her.

Amaya was about to step down and realized that she ain't wearing anything and sat back in blanket. She stared at Mantu as he laughed throughly. "Give me my lehengha from the floor.", said Amaya. Mantu picked up the lehengha and said, "No, wait for 10 minutes. Karan is about to reach here. I told him to bring all your necessary clothes." Amaya nodded as she heard the bell rang. "Finally Karan is here!", said Amaya as she took a breath of relief and said, "Go! Open the door fast! Quick!" "Yes madam", said Mantu as he laughed at walk towards the gate to open it. Amaya laughed as she was happy that Mantu is so jolly. She never saw Mantu in this roop. Amaya smiled as she looked around and said to herself, "You new life's gonna be amazing Amaya Mathu... arrr.... it's Amaya Abhimanyu Shrivastava." Amaya blushed.
