"Life can't get any better!" Kriya said as she entered cabin. 

It had been a week since the fall out with Swayam. In a way, life went on. The two would see each other as they lived in the same house, and Swayam hadn't went to work. He was working from home, and Kriya was only working part-time since there wasn't much to do in office with Swayam's absence. But, they rarely talked. It was as if they had ran out of everything to say to each other. It shouldn't be as such, since they had everything to talk about, everything to clear misunderstanding on.

She hugged Nicole and even Simmi, much to her despise, before going to Aashi.

"Someone's happy, huh?" Aashi commented when she hugged her.

"So, what do you want me to do today?" Kriya asked her for work. She'd decided it was her birthday. She should be happy today, even if she had to fake it.

"Uh... you can start with reviewing those tapes?" Aashi motioned at Kriya's desk.

"Aye-aye captain." She put her purse aside and started working.

"What's wrong with her?" Simmi asked out loud to everyone. Nicole shrugged, if only she knew. Even she was stunned Kriya had given Simmi a hug.

"What do you want me to do?" Simmi dryly asked Kriya.

"What?" Kriya looked up, blank for a second.

"What do you want me to do?" She repeated the question. Kriya remembered the deal between them.

"Oh, that. Err, nothing. You're free. I've forgotten you ever did something and you forget there ever was a deal." For the second time, she had shocked everyone present in the room. They all knew how excited Kriya was to have Simmi work for her as her own personal slave for a week's time. And now, just like that, she was letting her go?

"I think she's really lost it." Simmi whispered to Aashi.

Aashi entered Swayam's cabin. "Is Kriya alright?"

"Huh?"

"No, I mean she's just acting too strange. Fancy this, first she hugged Simmi and then she let her off their little deal. You didn't hit her hard on her head, did you?"

"Shut up, Aashi!" He glared at her. She shut her mouth. "She did yell at Vicky this morning. So yes, I'm sure she's fine." Aashi was convinced. She very well knew that there would always be one reason or another for Kriya to yell at Vicky when she was normal.

Mid-afternoon, Kriya entered Swayam's cabin, just as he was about to walk out, resulting in them crashing. He balanced her back on her feet and pulled her in swiftly. Before she could utter a word, he pinned her to the closed door.

"Swayam?" She spoke, surprised by this action of his.

"You called the lawyer?"

Kriya knew he'd eventually find out. "Yeah, so what? You signed the papers anyway. I just wanted to see how much longer it would take for it to be filed in court."

He stepped back, "Are you really that eager for the divorce? So you can be with Roy?"

Her heart broke, so she tried to not answer, "I really don't get you. Sometimes you want a divorce, and other times you get pissed at me for giving you what you want and hurrying up the process? But anyway, I am not in the mood to talk about all of this today. I just came to show you this."

She moved around him and sat down on his chair, turning the blinds off. Then with the CD she had in her hand, she removed it from it cover and entered it in its place in his laptop.
