" Come inside " Shristi said opening the door..

" Its not as big as your mansion.. But i think you can adjust for a while. " She said taunting him..

Rishabh breathed heavily..

" Look I want.. " Rishabh was interrupted by her 

" You hungry? " She asked ignoring what he was about to say

" Umm.. Well yes. " Rishabh said casually

" Okay  ... I am going to aloo ke parathe.. You will have eat that only.. I am not going to cook anything else for you.. " She said throwing a forced smile..

" Right! I am totally fine with it." He said..

Shristi didn't say anything.. She straight went to the kitchen  .

..................

Rains have always been Nikita's favourite.. She loved this season.. That smell of raindrops mixed with the soil.. Soothed her soul..
She took inhaled a long breath to take up the smell into her nostrils and smiled at the feeling..

Rains made her happy.. She was even more happy when she saw the caller ID.. It was Mayank..

" Hey Boss.. " She giggled lightly..

" Hey ma'am.. I hope I didn't interrupted your conversation with rain.. " Mayank chuckled

" Well you did.. But that's fine.. You're forgiven.. " Nikta smiled.

" Thanks for forgiving.. So what're you doing? " Mayank asked

" Nothing.. Just staring out at this beautiful night.. What about you?.. Wait let me guess.. You're still in your room.. With a laptop...Working.. Am I right?? " Nikita asked

" 100 percent right.. Am I predictable?? " Mayabk chuckled

" Yes.. You're Mr. Kapoor.. " Nikita giggled

" You know what.. Fuck those laptops.. Go into your balcony.. And watch the rain.. Extend your hand.. And the take away all your worries.. " Nikita said extending her own hand out...

" You sound like some philosopher.. " Mayank smiled..

" Do as I say... It's very therapeutic. " Nikita insisted him..

" Okay.. Fine.. " Mayank closed his laptop and went into balcony.. Never in his life had he noticed rain.. He never paid attention to it..

To his surprise the sound of rain.. Actually calmed him down.. He extended his hand out of the balcony to let it get wet..
" You're right.. It's actually very calming.. " Mayank breathed heavily..

" I know... It's okay to take a break sometimes. Mr. Mayank Kapoor.. " Nikta chuckled..

.................

Shristi gave him some clothes and towel to dry and change himself off..

Rishabh came out of the bathroom while brushing his hair with that towel 

" Umm.. Can I ask you whose clothes are these? " Rishabh asked

" Why do want to know? " Shristi smirked at him..

" Never mind.. " Rishabh sighed and sat on the chair from where he could see her in the kitchen..

" These are Rahul's clothes.. I keep some here.. For emergency purpose.. " Shristi said while plating there food..

" Here. " She said handing him the plate..

" Thanks.. " He said took a bite..

" How's it? " She asked

" Good.. Really good.. " Rishabh smiled

" Thank god.. " She chuckled..

They were eating in silence.. When rishabh said.

" I need to talk with you.. "

" No you don't.. Just finish the food.. And sleep.. Yeah.. On the couch.. I am not going to leave my bed " Shristi said sternly..

" You will have to give a chance.. " Rishabh pleaded

"What if I say..I dont want to.. ? " Shristi said plainly looking straight at him..

" Why is that so? " Rishabh asked

" I just dont.. " Shristi mumbled...

Rishabh scoffed..

" I deserve a chance.. This is unfair.. " He stated..

Shristi looked at the clock.. It was 11:00pm
" You have 30 mins to explain yourself.. " Shristi said crossing her arms..

" Listen..
I know I should have trusted you.. You know I was pretty short tempered.. And I just thought that you did everything.. I was not in my own senses... " Rishabh was interrupted by her

" You know your mom.. My friend they both were laughing at me.. Saying that I am a fool..they said it was foolish of me to think that you will believe me.. My best friend said that I dont deserve you.. Your mom said that she will ruin my family if I try to come close again.. " She said looking elsewhere..

" I know.. You gave me that recording... In that pendrive.. " Rishabh said looking down..

" Then you should know .. Why I don't to talk anymore about it.. My family is definitely my priority. " She said sternly..

" But she is in jail now.. Shreyas fought my case.. " Rishabh said

" I know that.. But your mom is just too powerful..she can do anything.. " Shristi said as a matter of fact

" She won't. I promise.. Let's give ourselves one more chance? Please.. I am asking you to come to any conclusion right now.. But.. We can at least mend the broken parts right?? " Rishabh asked holding her hands..

" I don't know.. " Her voice choked..

" I can't let my heart break again.. What if same kind situation arrives again.. What if you again misstrust me?? " Her voice chocked..

Rishabh stood up and pulled her up from the chair..
" I wont.. I am not going to do that mistake again.. " He said touching her forehead with his..

Shristi sighed heavily..
" I will think about it.. As of now.. Your 30 mins are over.. You're sleeping over the couch.. " She said pulling herself out of his embrace

She went inside her room and came back with a pillow and blanket.. And threw it towards him..

" Good night.. " She said and went inside her room

" Night.. " Rishabh said and settled himself into the couch.. But sleep was far away..
