Prabhas messaged Unni.
Prabhas: why did you lie?

Unni: I just joked. You seriously went to check?

Prabhas: no..ummm...no.. I called her.

Unni: ohkay.. you replied very late. Anyways take care. Good night.

Sweety called him but he kept rejecting her call.

"Such a weird guy" she thought in mind and went to sleep.

After two days, Guna called Prabhas.

"Why is he calling at this time (it was already night) . Did he get to know about our problems? " he thought in mind.

He picked the call.

Prabhas: hello...

Guna: where were you? I was trying your phone since the morning.

Prabhas (checking his phone) : am so sorry. Was very busy the whole day. Couldn't realise. Tell me what happened.

Guna: can you come here?

Prabhas: there? Me alone?

Guna: Sweety is already here na... Don't you know?

Prabhas ( lying) : yes.. yes.. of course I know... Why wouldn't I? Actually I had a flight to catch tomorrow. I won't be able to come. Sorry.

Guna: atleast for an hour. Try... Sweety needs you.

Prabhas:  everything fine?

Guna: No, actually... Sweety's neighbour who was a very close friend of her, died in a car accident. She is crying since the morning and became unconscious three times throughout the day. With lot of efforts made her sleep. She even skipped her meals. I don't know what to do. Thought you could console her. Please atleast try to come. Okay, take care.

Prabhas: bye.

Next day, Sweety opened her eyes at around 11 in the morning. She went straight to the  washroom, brushed her teeth and took shower. After coming out her eyes fell on the sight she couldn't believe at that moment. He was standing near the bed unpacking his bag. She blinked her eyes thrice to make sure what she's watching is true.

"Pabsu? "

"Yeah... You forgot me in two weeks? Can't even recognise me? " he asked satirically.

"But what are you doing here? " she asked curiously.

"This is my in-law's house. I can come here anytime " he replied  smirking.

She kept staring at him and stood still as she couldn't believe he's here.

"You don't have to stress your mind. I didnt come here for you. I had to come because Guna called me. Otherwise he would have known about our tensions. " he said with proud face.

"You could have made some excuses? Like you had a flight or something else. "

"Yeah... it didn't strike my mind. " he said looking away.

She went towards the mirror and applied vermilion in her hair partition. She looks like goddess whenever she applies that with her wet hairs left open.

Meanwhile, Sweety's mom entered the room.

Mom: Prabhas, come have something to eat. Seems you haven't ate anything since the morning.

Prabhas: no Atthaya, I did.

Mom: don't lie to me now. Come on. Sweety, come...have your breakfast.

Sweety: Amma, I am not hungry.

"Arey but..." Her mom said, Prabhas stopped her mom before she could continue. He gestured her that he'll take care and bring their food to their room.

Prabhas: have your breakfast Sweety.

Sweety: I'm not feeling good.

Prabhas: Sweety, you won't get your friend back skipping your meals. Instead you are troubling her more.

Her eyes filled with tears and nose turned red as he said that.

He went near her. Turned her to make her face him and gently rested her head in his right shoulder. She kept her left palm on his chest while sobbing. He caressed her head gently.

"Don't do this to yourself. Look at your condition. Your eyes are swollen and face looks dry. You're more ugly. " he said pressing his lips in between.

"Huhhh? " she looked at him twitching her eyebrows.

He laughed.

Her mom came and placed the food.

"Prabhas, have your breakfast. And also make sure she finish her part of meal. " Amma warned before leaving.

 "Pabsu, really I'm not feeling well. " she pleaded.

He didn't listen anything and stuffed a piece of food in her mouth.

She felt queasy as she gulped the food. She ran towards the washroom and threw up whatever she had inside. She washed her face and came out.

"What happened? Are you alright? " he said rubbing her back.

"Pabsu, I'm feeling very giddy. "

"It's because you cried the whole day yesterday  and skipped your meals. It had to happen" he scolded her.

"Take rest for a while. Let me call the doc. " he said while leaving the room.

She held his hand and stopped.

"Pabsu, there's no need. " she said.

"What no need??? I will call the doc that's it. He'll give you medicines and you'll feel better. " he argued.

"Pabsu... there's no need. This happens in this time. " she said reluctantly.

"What time? " he asked confused.

"Ummmmm... "

"Why are blushing like a typical wife of Indian serials who's going to give her husband a good news? " he asked rolling his eyes.

Her eyes grew wide and mouth open.

"What? " he asked again.

"Mr. Prabhas Raju Uppalapati. You're the dumbest creature on  earth. Call a gynechologist , she'll tell you."

"Why gynechologist? You have trouble with your periods. Then better consult her. You shouldn't ignore these problems" He replied.

"Pabsu?? I'm pregnant. " she shouted.

He started laughing.

"Pabsu, are you alright? Your wife is giving you the good news. And you are finding it funny? I'm really pregnant. Why don't you trust me? " she asked furiously.

"Idiot, I knew already " he said laughing.

What? He knew? How? I didn't tell this to anyone yet? She kept wondering.
