Next day.........

Kritika was driving towards the office side for election sake work while Atharv have already left for his office. He would return with their upcoming guests.

After last night's argument, they don't had any conversation. He returned quite late in their room. Somehow her heart wants him to stay near her but she didn't find any reason to ask him to stay. She know she can't expect him to love her when she is the one giving wounds to it.

On the other hand , Atharv had returned back to work his office. Apart from their family business he is sole owner of other companies too. He was just trying to focus on his work. But in all this while her harsh words were revolving in his mind making his heart bleed.

Atharv's P.O.V.
I think the wish I had in my mind will always remain incomplete because the family I was raised in, I left it and the person with whom I want to make a new world is not in a state to decide that she loves me or its just a bundle of confusion between us. But for the first time I feel like I could share my emotional turmoil to someone but I can't. Being the elder sibling I was someone who was grown up to never share their inner feelings with my family. But with her it was actually different. Firstly I thought that maybe my mother's idea could fail about giving this marriage a peaceful start. But with every passing day I found myself falling more harder for her. But last night she shattered everything.

Time skips.....

Kritika was so tired after returning from office. She just went and laid on the couch being exhausted in living room.
Rohan went towards her and asked , " Ma'am aaj dinner mein kya banana hai aur Atharv sir ne bataya tha guests bhi aa rahe hai aap ussi hisab se chefs ki instructions de dijiye ".

Kritika spoke being out of trance , " Aap maa ya Aarushi maasi se puch lijiye. Mein already bahut thak chuki hu ". Rohan replied, " Par yaha to aap hi ho ma'am ".

Then a realisation hit her and she slapped her palm over her forehead and spoke, " Wait a minute, I will be there. Till then arrange some snacks for me here ".

Time skips.......

All the preparations were done while Atharv had returned with their guests. Atharv spoke, " Aarav and Aarohi, she is my wife Kritika Shekhawat ".

Kritika smiled and said, " Nice to meet both of you " . Atharv said, " This is my friend Aarav Singhania and she is his wife Aarohi Singhania ".

Aarohi passed a bright smile towards Kritika. After getting done with introduction stage. All of them moved towards the dining table.

Aarav spoke, " Atharv I am really upset with you. You didn't even invited me to your wedding ". Atharv replied, " Actually it was a simple and intimate wedding ceremony ".

Aarohi spoke, " By the way both of you didn't tell us that it was an love marriage or arrange marriage? ". Kritika spoke, " The one about which I got to know a hour before it happened ".

Aarohi curiously asked, " Is it a replaced bride trope? ". Atharv choked on his food while Kritika passed a glass of water to Atharv and said, " No there is nothing like that none of us were replaced it's just a long story ".
