THE MISTRESS ✔️ (COMPLETED)

73~ Heart-Break

The rest of the day, Eshaan was disturbed. But he didn't let it show on his face or behavior because he knew Monica would be more disturbed than him. Monica was still in shock because she was the last person who was with Kabir before the accident. And their last meeting wasn't pleasant. Without Eshaan's knowledge, Monica cried in the bathroom. But in front of each other both pretended like everything was fine.

In the evening, Monica and Eshaan were silently watching a football match. Eshaan was drinking some wine while Monica was just looking longingly at it.

TRING...

Eshaan was about to stand when Monica placed her palm on his thigh and stopped him.

'I will get it.' She smiled at him and he nodded. Then, she got up and walked towards the door. Eshaan watched her go and smiled to himself.

Monica opened the door and was surprised to see the curly haired girl on the other side. She frowned, Jhanvi looked at her and forced a smile.

'Hello.' She greeted dryly. Unlike always, Jhanvi wasn't very cheery.

'Hello.' Monica replied she sounded disinterested as well. She noticed Jhanvi's gaze dart to her belly and then back again at her.

'May I?' Jhanvi pointed inside. Monica nodded and stepped aside. Jhanvi clenched the handle of her trolley bag and walked in.

Eshaan looked up and smiled widely upon seeing Jhanvi. He placed the remote on the sofa and leaped from his seat.

'Jhanvi, what a surprise?' He opened his arms and walked up to her. Jhanvi smiled and opened her arms as well. As they hugged, Monica entered the room. She caught them together and folded her arms angrily. She pressed her lips tightly.

Soon, they parted and Eshaan looked at her happily.

'Jhanvi, you came at the right time.' He said excitedly. Jhanvi smiled sadly, then she turned and smiled at Monica.

'Congratulations, you two.' She said looking at them. Eshaan smiled. Monica smiled sweetly and walked towards Eshaan. Possessively, she wrapped her arms around Eshaan's arm. She noted Jhanvi's sad expressions and her smile widened.

'Thank you.' She said and looked at Eshaan, he looked at her and smiled. He placed his palm over hers and looked at Jhanvi.

'I and Monica will marry soon, Jhanvi.' He said but his smile faded when he noticed her sad face. He felt like a complete asshole for talking like this, especially knowing Jhanvi's feelings for him. He looked at Monica.

'Monica, please make tea for us.' He said nicely.

Monica blinked at him, - 'Me?' She asked pointing at herself. Eshaan nodded and pinched her cheek.

'You make delicious tea, please.' He requested sweetly. Monica frowned and looked at Jhanvi and then sighed looking at Eshaan.

'Fine.' She replied and reluctantly let's go of Eshaan's arm. He smiled at her. She shot a look at Jhanvi, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

After she had gone, Eshaan looked at Jhanvi and extended his hand. She extended her hand and held his. He smiled and took her to the sofa. They sat together on the double sofa. Eshaan kept holding her hand.

He looked down at their hands and looked back at her.

'I know, Jhanvi you are upset because of this news but I, I am sorry you found out this way.' He said seriously. Jhanvi smiled sadly, her eyes glistening with tears.

'Don't be guilty, Eshaan. I like you and I wanted to get married to you. That doesn't mean you too-'

'But, that day I had said I didn't feel anything for Monica and then this news. I think you deserve an explanation.' He said seriously. Jhanvi shook her head but he held her palms tightly.
