.............

Ishanvi is getting annoyed. She tried calling him multiple times but he is not answering. She went home and knocked the door. She is waiting for her mother-in-law to open the door. She knocked the door again but she didn't answer. She called her but she too didn't answer the call. She peeked into the house from window and got shocked. Her mother-in-law is lying lifelessly. She called their neighbours and they broke the door. She ran inside and checked up on her but she is dead. Tears rolled down from her eyes. She called Dhruv again but he didn't answer. She called her parents and told about her death. They came there and they also told the news to few relatives. 

She called dhruv again , 

Dhruv : hello ! Why are you calling me repeatedly ? 

Dhruv almost shouted.

Ishanvi : Dhruv ! 

Ishanvi is crying and his voice softened.

Ishanvi : athamma is no more.

Dhruv : what ? What are you saying ? 

Ishanvi is crying badly. Rita took the mobile from her hands and spoke.

Rita : hello Dhruv ! Your mother is dead. Come soon ! 

She cut the call.

............

FEW MONTHS LATER , 

After few months dhruv was able to come out of the grief. Ishanvi stayed by his side and supported him but she is unable to initiate a conversation. She wondered if she could handle him in a much vulnerable state. But Raj kept on assigning lot of work to Dhruv . He did that for keeping him occupied and out of depression. 

One day Ishanvi took a day off and decided to take some rest . She is watching TV by munching on some waffles. She heard the door bell ringing. Dhruv is away because of some work. She is trying very hard to understand his professional life But she is getting hurt everyday. She wants to spend time with her but he is always busy.  He is rarely spending time with her in the way how he used to do when they are dating. He is supposed to return on Saturday. Very few people visit their house. She wondered who it must be ! As she opened the door she saw Rita. 

Ishanvi : Hi akka ! 

Rita : come with me !

Rita held Ishanvi's hand and dragged her outside.

Ishanvi : akka ! Where are you taking me ? 

Rita : Close the door and come with me ! 

Ishanvi wondered why she behaved differently sometimes. She locked the door and came outside. 

Rita : get into the car ! 

Rita asked her to get into the car and ishanvi did what she told. Rita drove towards a fancy cafe . 

Ishanvi : why you brought me here ? 

Rita : wait ! Cover your face with this scarf !

Ishanvi : why ? 

Rita : don't ask stupid questions ! Follow my words.

Ishanvi covered her face with the scarf and went along with rita. They sat near an empty table.

Rita : look at table 4 ! 

Ishanvi looked at table 4 and saw Dhruv. 

Ishanvi : what he is doing here ? 

Rita : exactly ! What he is doing here ? You told that he was not there in hyderabad right ? 

Ishanvi looked at him again to make sure that it is Dhruv. Few days ago Rita told her that she ssw dhruv. Ishanvi brushed her off saying that she mistaken someone else as dhruv. 

Rita : I told you right ? He is cheating on you. Do you know that bitch ? 

Ishanvi tried to look at her face. She is tanvi. Her blood boiled as soon as she saw her. But she composed herself.

Ishanvi : what's wrong if he is talking to a woman ? She is his colleague. May be they came here on some work. I think he came to Hyderabad early.

Rita : Red velvet cake on a work meeting ?

Ishanvi : Tanvi loves Red velvet cake. I met her few times. 

Rita : But !

Raj and few others also came there and sat in the empty chairs beside Dhruv and tanvi. Ishanvi smiled and looked at Rita. Rita became pale.

Ishanvi : ok akka ! Let's do a small test. Come to my house along with me. Dhruv will definitely come home today. I know that. I trust him. May be he returned soon as his work is done. 

Rita : ok ! But i have some urgent work. Tell me after he reaches home.

Ishanvi : Hmm.

Rita went away and Ishanvi went home by booking a cab. After reaching home she collapsed on the couch. She clutched her head and sat. She wondered if Rita is right or Dhruv is genuine. She decided to keep an eye on Dhruv and prove Rita that she is wrong. She glanced at the clock and the time is 7:00 pm. She decided to cook dinner. As she was chopping the vegetables she heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw dhruv.

Dhruv : hey ! I am back.

Dhruv crashed her in a tight hug. She hugged him back tightly and kissed his nape. He buried himself in her arms forgetting his worries.

Ishanvi : is your work done ? 

Dhruv : yes ! Actually i came in the afternoon. But I had a meeting with my team.

Ishanvi : hmm. 

Tears rolled down from her eyes. His shirt is becoming wet. 

Dhruv : Why are you crying ? 

Ishanvi : I missed you ! 

Dhruv : I missed you too. What are you cooking ? 

Ishanvi : I am planning to make palak paneer and aloo fry.

Dhruv : give me 15 minutes. I will come and help you.

Ishanvi : Ok ! 

Dhruv went inside and Ishanvi called Rita.

Rita : hello !

Ishanvi : hello akka ! He came home just now. He told that he came back in the afternoon. But he had a meeting with his team. That is what we have seen few hours ago.

Dhruv listened Ishanvi's words and he felt bad. He was more than shocked because he didn't expect that his wife would think that he is cheating on her.
