MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND S2 (BOOK 2)✔️

89~ Wedding Bells?

Gayatri has managed to find an apartment in one of the posh areas in Mumbai. It confused Anah because getting even one BHK in Mumbai is difficult, but Gayatri managed to get two BHK that too in a posh area that too being a single girl. Reyhan read her expressions and informed her about Gayatri's father being a rich business man. She works mostly because it's her passion and secondly, she likes spending her own earning. But looks like here she took her father's help.

Reyhan rang the doorbell and waited for few seconds before Gayatri opened the door.

'Reyhan!' she gushed happily and hugged him tightly. Anah shifted uncomfortably. Reyhan hugged her with only one arm. Gayatri then just smiled at Anah and welcomed them inside.

There were few other friends of her, who she mentioned had just flown from Delhi for the housewarming party, most of them were Reyhan's friends too. Anah greeted everyone politely. She felt proud when Reyhan introduced her as his wife and Rey as their daughter. But then her happiness frizzled as she felt like a complete outsider in the party. Everyone where enjoying, chatting and drinking, only Reyhan and Anah chose cold drinks. Anah felt bored too. She distracted herself by playing with her baby girl or spending her time cursing Gayatri who kept falling to her side and on Reyhan as she laughed. Every time she did that, Anah felt her blood boil. She wondered why all this is affecting her so much, she has never been the jealous types. Not with Reyhan and Ipshita or any of their girlfriends, not even with Ejaz then why is she being so silly now. Maybe cause Reyhan has some feelings for this woman but is Gayatri the one he had told her about? Anah looked at Gayatri. She sat beside Reyhan and looked stunning in ink blue knee-length bodycon, her legs crossed one over the other. Anah looked at her long well-toned legs with jealousy.

Reyhan noted something is wrong with Anah because she had kept quiet most of the time at the party. When it was their time to leave, she simply handed Rey to him and dryly wished Gayatri and walked out. Even in the cab when Reyhan had tried holding her palm she had retracted her hand placing it on her thigh. Reyhan frowned. He decided to speak with her later.

'Anah is everything alright?' he asked once they entered the apartment.

'Nothing.' Anah said and angrily kicked off her heels. Reyhan knew there is something is fishy with her. Reyhan looked at Rey who had slept off his arms. He walked into the room and found Anah angrily sliding off bangles from her wrist. She kept mumbling something inaudible.

Reyhan placed Rey carefully in the cradle and walked up to Anah. She stopped speaking when she felt him standing behind her. She looked up at their reflection.

'What happened, Anu?' Reyhan asked softly. Anah turned around and glared at him.

'I and Rey are a burden on you, right?' she asked shocking Reyhan.

Reyhan took a second to compose himself and shook his head, he placed his palms on her shoulder and looked straight into her eyes, - 'No, never and please don't think this way again.' He said seriously.

Feeling the intensity in his voice Anah slightly melted but soon changed her posture to being stern again, - 'And what about that girl at your workplace in Delhi? The one you had crush on, she is Gayatri, isn't she?' she said

Reyhan looked away feeling guilty. How will he say that the girl isn't Gayatri, in fact, she never existed. He loved and still loves Anah. The girl of his dreams has always been only her.

'Anu, that was past and it was a silly crush.' He explained. He had been debating if he should confess his love to her. But now? Like this? No, he decided.
