Thanks for the votes and comments.

How stupefying will be the scenario in which you will witness your beloved husband in the arms of someone else? Isn't it one absolutely heart wrenching moment for a girl to find her live with someone else, when she had been thinking all the while about him? The feeling of desolation that emerges in the heart and mind are unexplainable because nothing can explain the hurt, a wife feels when she sees her husband with other woman. But contrary to the actual scenario, there is a saying that, Not always our vision witness the truth, but at times there are deeper and hidden truths behind certain actions which could only be explained with time. The most important step in that moment is to only have faith in one self and their love, because if we lose faith in our relationship then it only means that we are losing faith in the extent of the love and trust we have established so far with our partner. It's a task which is impossible given the scenarios but it isn't unachievable. All one needs is patience and strength, because yelling and creating a scene in such complicated situations, only ruins one's life and now definitely one doesn't want to end up ruining their own created little heaven.

Blurred vision, parched throat, rooted feet and sweating face were the exact descriptions to explain Raisha's current state. Her teary gaze fixated on her Aayush who stood infront of her, with his head hung down in shame not even able to meet her eyes, which was pleading her already to console her but he didn't even have courage to take a step towards her and to explain her his innocence.

Sonia who had supported herself by holding the wall, now eyed Aayush with menace in her eyes and suddenly the realization dawn on her. Her hand went to her neck, and she gulped a lump in throat comprehending the situation carefully that he was aware of their plan.

"Shit!" She cursed in her mind, and just then her eyes landed on Raisha who was still standing there with a pained look on her face. A smirk formed on her lips as she mentally cheered and murmured to herself, "So you were trying to save your precious wife but now you only landed in trouble Aayush. Now see how I make her hate you".

Raisha's eyes went on his neck all of a sudden, and her hand which covered her mouth, fell down on her side, as she recognized the lipstick mark.

Sonia smirked at her and linking her arms with Aayush shocking him, she said in a fake concerned tone, "Ohh Aayush don't worry. You can clearly tell her that you don't want her anymore because she isn't anywhere near to me. And you want me in your life not her".

Aayush jerked her hand away in annoyance, and turned to look at Raisha who was now taking slow steps towards him while her eyes were transfixed on him.

"Raisha!!" Shipra and Sarthak came running from behind to only gulp a lump down their throat seeing the trio together.

They all have been dancing all the while feeling something unusual and that is when Raisha suggested to have some juice rather than just moving around in between the people, but on an impulse instead of going to the drink counter, she made her way to the lounge area feeling something familiar in the air, while the duo was engrossed in ordering their drinks unaware that Raisha was missing and finally, after a while when they finally realized both of them dashed towards the lounge area the first thing.

On approaching Aayush, she waited for him to meet her eyes but when he didn't even looked at her, sighing she took out her silk napkin from her clutch, and raised her hands to wipe off the marks from his neck much to Sonia's shock. She was thinking she will either slap Aayush or accuse him but instead here she was wiping his neck as if it wasn't a big deal for her.

Aayush raised his eyelids to see big tears formed in Raisha's eyes, but she wasn't letting them fall.

"How can you even ignore these marks of love on him Raisha? Didn't you saw, what was happening between us?" Sonia questioned and before Raisha could reply her, Aayush beat her to it, "Just shut up or else you don't even know what I am capable of. Nothing happened between us so stop creating a ruckuss because I very well know what you are trying to do now".
