Next day.......
Riddhima, Aarushi, Aditya and Palak had gathered in Palak's room. Aditya was narrating about their yesterday's outing. He said, " Bhabhi ne kya bataya hai bhaiya ko car racing mein. Hum dono to khud dekhte reh gaye ".
Aditya received a smack on his head from Riddhima. Aditya rubbed his head and said , " Kya hai mumma, aapne hi kaha to ki dono ko kaise bhi bahar lekar jaao." Riddhima said , " Unn dono ko isliye bhejna tha tumhare saath taki wo ek saath time spend karke ek dusre ko samajh sake tumne waha bhi competition kara diya ".
Palak interrupted, " Arey maasi aap meri baat suniye. Aditya bhai to faaltu ki hi baat batate hai ". Riddhima said , " Beta tum hi kuch acha bata do iss nalayak ne to mood kharab kar diya ". Aditya gave an annoyed look to Palak and Riddhima and drifted towards the other side of the bed where Aarushi was sitting.
Palak started explaining, " Wo na race se ek baat achi huyi. Jab na bhabhi Jeet gayi na to unhone sabse pehle bhaiya ko hi hug kiya. Shayad unke beech mein sach mein feelings hai aur koi natak nahi kar rahe normal couple hone ka ".
Aditya said , " I think you didn't notice Atharv bhai's reaction. The way he froze after it. It's not normal being her husband this should be super normal between them. It clearly proved that those photos were completely fake and they are pretending to be a normal marriage couple so that no one can question their relationship but the reality is somehow buried between the privacy in them".
Palak replied frustratingly, " Apne andar ka lawyer na court mein rehne dijiye bas yaha apna vakeelpan na dikhaiye kripa karke ". Aditya said , " I think you are forgetting that both of them are elder siblings and dominance runs in their veins. Till now her father and dad have not come to a peaceful page and you think their offspring who have almost double ego and anger as them and they will put all the issues aside and live a happily married life .The possibility of it can't be even predicted ".
Aditya walked from there explaining his perspective and Palak also left. Aarushi said , " Aap iski baato pe dhyan na do didi. Atharv mein dimag Abhinav jiju jaisa hai par na dil ek dum aapke jaisa hai. Wo galat sehta nahi par sahi logo ko kabhi suffer bhi nahi karne deta aur aapko yaad nahi aapko bhi to kitna time laga tha Abhinav jiju ke dil mein apna space banane mein par ek baar jab unhe realise ho gaya to aaj koi misunderstanding aapke beech nahi aa saki ".
Riddhima replied, " Atharv apne papa jaisa zaroor hai par Kritika meri jaisi nahi hai. Uska nature alag hai aur mein ye chahti bhi nahi ki wo meri jaisi bane ".
Aarushi replied, " Di aap dono ki problems unke sar kyu nahi chod dete ".
Riddhima replied " I don't want my child to suffer the same, I went through years ago. Everything is good at present ,never means that the memories from the past are erased. A loveless marriage is a curse and being a survivor of it. I don't want my son to go through the same, I know both the situations were different my marriage was arranged by our parents and he did it on his own but still one misery was common that our happiness was never involved in it. Call me selfish but I don't want my son to end up in a relationship which is nothing but a facade. I will happily accept Abhinav's rival daughter as his wife, if it is written. Because I know he will not leave her on his own ,but at least he can love her in real life.
Time skips ...............
9:00 pm
It was dinner time, Atharv had just arrived and he placed his smart phone and analog watch at a table in the hall side while Kritika was still in the room.
Kritika was taking on a call when she reached downstairs after getting done with work. She cut the call and placed the phone on the same table on which Atharv's belongings were placed. When she was moving towards the dining table.
