A/n pov:
Neel was in his office doing work when suddenly Yash enters making Neel look towards him...
At first Neel clenched his fists but quickly regained his composure
Neel: why are you here Yash...
Yash: I just got a piece of information and I had came here to warn you
Neel: now since when I started getting warning...and I don't think I have potential threat other than you
He said sarcastically while Yash just sighed
Yash: I came here to warn you for gauri...
Suddenly his expression turns into confusion and he spoke
Neel: what do you mean...
Yash: Danger is lurking over her..
Time skips~
At mansion:Neel: and whatever it takes, just increase the security and don't let her go alone anywhere...
He was instructing Chandar in living hall when gauri appears there..
He signals him to leave which Chandar does and he turns towards her
Gauri: what's the matter Mr Sehgal...you seems worried?
Neel smiles and goes near her
Neel: nothing gauri, just some works
Gauri: ohh...
Neel pulled her in a hug and spoke
Neel: you know I missed you alot today so I came early today..
Gauri: yeah I'm seeing Mr Sehgal
Neel quickly got separated from her and spoke
Neel: could you please stop calling me Mr sehgal???
Gauri: huh?
Neel: it's so frustrating when you call me Mr sehgal like I'm your husband now and we are not strangers anymore so why not dropping the formalities
Gauri: uh okay...but calling you by your name sounds umm..bit awkward to me
Neel: and how is that? Why don't you try speaking
He came near her and grabs her chin softly
Neel: just try it...
He spoke in husky voice which made gauri gulped
Gauri: w-well I'll try this l-later
Saying this she was about to turn when he pulled her near her and now they were inches away
Neel: not so fast Mrs sehgal...you have to speak it now otherwise I won't let you go..
Gauri: I can't
Neel: say my name otherwise I'll kiss you so hard rn right in living hall and everyone will see us
Her eyes went wide and Neel lip's curved into smirk
Gauri: fine, you are so shameless
Neel chuckled and gauri spoke
Gauri: Neel...
She called out his name softly which made Neel's heartbeat fast
Neel: repeat
Gauri: Neel...
He closed his eyes in satisfaction and taking this chance she quickly got out from his grip and runs away from there...
He opened his eyes and smiled
Neel: you are driving me crazy...
Gauri was in her room when someone knocked on her door.
Gauri: please come in...
The door opened to reveal none other than chitra...
Gauri got little bit shocked and chitra spoke
Chitra: can we chat?
Gauri: sure, please come
She nodded and both sat on the sofa
Gauri: so what made you come here?
Chitra looked down and spoke
Chitra: I came here to apologise for my doings
Gauri: oh...
Chitra: I shouldn't had done that
Gauri: it's ok chitra I don't blame you..you did what your heart felt. Tbh if I understand you why you did that..that's what love does...you forget what's right of wrong in that process. The path you choose to get the love seems good as first but later you realises if that love is not meant for you then there's no point in chasing it..
Love is not about expecting something in return; it's about giving wholeheartedly without expecting anything back. When you truly love someone, your joy comes from their happiness and not from their sadness..
Chitra looks toward her and gauri continues
Gauri: don't take my words as taunts, I'm just saying no matter what path you choose, if the person is not right for you, then there's no point of expecting love from them...
Chitra looks away and spoke
Chitra: you have no idea how much I love him. He was my childhood love...you know how much I felt pain when I saw him getting married, you can't even imagine. I thought I lost the chance to confess my love to him. I was shattered
But when Anam betaryed Neel, I thought maybe god wanted to give me second chance to take what's mine but to my luck, he shut the door of his heart, but I didn't loosed hope and thought I'll get him, his love someday
But you came in his life, I was sure that he won't open to you but...his heart again felt emotions, for you and much stronger than before he had for Anam...this time too I lost in this battle
She bitterly laughed and gauri felt sorry for her
Chitra: you know what gauri, you won't be able to love him like I did...and I would never like you too because for me you still snatched my Neel...but for Neel's happiness, I'm willing to apologise to you... because I don't want to live with his hatredness..
Gauri smiles and replied
Gauri: I understand chitra and once again I'm sorry you went through all of this as you didn't deserve this but we are nothing in front of destiny...but I can assure you I'll keep Neel happy
Chitra: you better gauri otherwise next time I won't leave you
Gauri: I know and I promise...
