POV :~ KRITIKA

We returned back to Bhopal the following day on second.

Honestly, I had thought that he would leave me again for work, but thank God he is still here, sitting right infront of me, discussing something with his cousin.

When Aayush came to know that his elder brother is assigning him some work related to business, he went so excited and happy. He was eager to know everything about family business.

It was as my day off today, so I stayed back at home. We're going to visit my mother's home this evening, together.

Also, Sayesha wants to talk with him something related to Anyesha's school and all. Although we were always enough for Anyesha, but well, I'm happy that there's finally a male in our group who will support us if need be.

"When will I get to join college, bhabhi?" Shreya looked at me with a pout on her lips.

I chuckled, "Ofcourse after your boards."

"That I know. I just wanted a little consolation, you know."

I encircled my hand around her shoulder, and patted her cheek, "All my consolations for you. Come-on, smile now."

She smiled showing me her teeth.

"Did you two go on a cruise party?"

I retrieved my phone and showed her our photos. In one of the photos, Kshitij was holding the bottle of wine in his hand, to which Shreya asked, forming an 'O' on her lips.

"Bhai, with drink?"

I nodded my head casually.

"But he dropped drinking. It's been months. No. Years."

"Just a little, nothing to worry."

She gave me a nod, checking out other photos.

"You saw the fireworks, it must have been beautiful to watch na, bhabhi? You didn't click pictures of that?"

I shook my head, "Actually I recieved a video call from my friends right after and I wasn't able to click the photos."

"Sayesha di and Priti di?"

"Yes, them."

"They're cool. I enjoy their company too."

I gave her a smile.

"How long did you stay on cruise? You took a room? Or just enjoyed the party overnight?"

"We—" .... "We—" my heart thumped.

Why don't I remember?

We were talking with my friends. He was teasing them. Then what happened?

It's all dark.

Why am I not able to remember anything?

He took me to room? Or hotel directly?

"Bhabhi."

Oh God. Why can't I remember?

Why is my mind messing with me?

Why do I feel numb again?

I can't go numb. Again. Like earlier. No. No.

I felt someone squeezing my shoulder, and my chain of thoughts broke.

My husband was sitting infront of me, on his knees, squeezing my shoulder and caressing my arm.

"Moon?" He called me gently, "What's wrong?"
