After having dinner everyone retreated to their rooms. Ishanvi is sipping on her beer by sitting in her balcony. Her balcony is as spacious as Vidathri's balcony. There are lot of flower plants on one side and a white colour swing on the other side. There is pale brown flooring which gives an illusion of muddy soil. Ishanvi have a pet and it's a small tortoise. It is crawling in the balcony and climbed on to her ankle. She picked it into her hands and it hided itself . She smiled and placed it in a tub. 

She stared outside and saw Dhruv. He is sitting in the garden and scrolling through his phone. She turned her mobile flashlight on and pointed it at him. He is wearing a tight T-shirt and his muscles are visible. She gawked at him. His pale brown skin and curly hear are mention worthy. Suddenly she felt an urge to kiss him. She used to flash torchlight on him when he used to sit on the terrace , engrossed in work and didn't pay attention to her. Back then he used to sigh and give a smile but he looked at her with an expressionless face and went inside. It hurted her but her mind mocked her by saying that she is the reason for everything. She decided to mend everything and gain his love again. She knows that she broke his heart into millions of pieces but she is ready to do anything for mending her relationship. 

Ishanvi ( to herself in a drunken tone ) : I was ....extremely ....angry on you . It was something that is upto an extent where my brain didn't ....function properly. But i never ....hated you ! 

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

Dhruv sat in-front of the TV and scrolled the channels. He didn't understand why Ishanvi is behaving differently after coming home from the hospital. From the first day of their marital life he wondered if she had some bipolar disorder. Now he is almost sure that she has that. He heard a knock on his door. He opened it after peeping from the peep hole. It's Ishanvi. He opened the door and looked at her with the same expressionless face.

Ishanvi : I need to talk to you ! 

Dhruv : let's talk tomorrow morning.

Ishanvi : Are you scared that i will do something to you ? 

Dhruv : You are drunk ! Come tomorrow.

Ishanvi asked with a hint of mischief. Dhruv smelled alcohol and understood that she is drunk. Before he could say anything more  she placed his lips on his and kissed him hard. 

Ishanvi : I love...you... . Why .. you ..are ...pushing me ...away ? 

Ishanvi held Dhruv by his shirt and started unbuttoning it. He tried to push her away but she didn't even budge. She is coming closed and closer. She pushed him on to the couch and hovered on him. When her hands reached her shirt , he held her hand and stopped her. There are cameras in every corner of the house except the bedrooms. Ishanvi pouted and looked at him with puppy eyes.

Ishanvi : I was a bitch ... for .. behaving like ...that. I...am sorry ! Please.... Forgive...me....

Saying that she hugged him tightly and fell asleep. Dhruv sighed as she didn't do anything to him.  He managed to move her away and he got up . She curled into a ball on the couch and fell asleep. He called Vidathri and told about what had happened. Dhruv and Vidathri took her to her room and made her to sleep.

Vidathri : Are you traumatised  ? 

Dhruv : Huh ? 

Vidathri : You are looking like as if you just escaped from a monster. I don't know if ypu guys are going to reunite in future or not. Whatever ! But she forced herself on you. That is definitely not funny. 

Dhruv : I am glad to come across a woman who speaks about this.

..........

NEXT DAY , 

Ishanvi woke up with a throbbing headache . It's almost 11:00 am. She didn't find Nivi , Vidathri and Dhruv. Sighing she got ready quickly and had her breakfast.

She messaged Rita and went to the cafe and waited for Rita to arrive. Within few minutes Rita came there by wearing a long wrapdress.

Ishanvi : Thanks for meeting me, Rita. I needed to talk to you about something important.

Rita :  Sure, Ishanvi. What's up ? 

Ishanvi took a deep breath and spoke.

Ishanvi :  I've found out that you were behind the rumors about Dhruv and Tanvi. You spread false information to me and it's caused a lot of pain.

Rita looked at ishanvi with her eyes wide.

Rita :  What? That's not true! I don't know where you're getting that from.

Ishanvi : I've confirmed it, Rita. You were the source of those rumors. Why would you do something like this ?

Rita :  I didn't do anything wrong. I was just trying to help you see things more clearly. I didn't mean for it to get out of hand.

Ishanvi :  Help me ? By spreading lies and creating chaos ? I need to understand why you went so far. You made my happy life a mess. 

Rita : was looking out for you, I swear. Maybe you wouldn't have been hurt if you had just listened to me from the start.

Ishanvi : You're avoiding the question. What was your real motive behind all this?

Rita :  I already told you! I was just trying to help. You're making this out to be something it isn't.

Ishanvi : If you're being honest, you'll admit the truth. Why were you so determined to break us up?

Rita understood that she is caught. Tears rolled down from her eyes.

Rita : Fine, you want the truth ? I had a crush on Dhruv. I thought if I caused enough trouble, maybe he'd notice me and we'd end up together.

Ishanvi :  So this was all about you wanting Dhruv for yourself ? You deliberately tried to ruin my marriage because you wanted him ? Aren't you the one who declined his mom's wedding proposal ? 

Rita : Yes ! I am stupid enough to loose him. But later I wanted him. I thought if you were out of the way, maybe I'd have a chance. I didn't think it would go this far.

Ishanvi : You used me and my trust for your own selfish desires. You have no idea how much damage you've done.

Rita : I've said what I needed to say. If you can't handle it, that's not my problem.

Ishanvi is enraged, she stood up and slapped Rita hardly across her face.

Ishanvi : That's for betraying me and ruining my life!

Rita stumbled back with shock. But she is silent. They gained the attention of almost every single person in the cafe.

How's the chapter ? 

What's your opinion on Ishanvi's drunken behaviour ? 

Forcing themselves on someone is wrong irrespective of gender. Isn't it ?
