"Who's this?" Abhimanyu asks sleepily. It was 5am he and shivantika were sleeping when his phone started ringing.

"It's me," the person on the other side said,making him frown.

"Do you want to make me angry?subha subha Kiya mazak kar rahe ho ,how would I know who you are? " he said, trying not to shout and making sure Shivantika's sleep is not disturbed.

"It's me, Samiksha.

......

"Good morning, chachi chachu. Did you sleep well?" Shivantika asks, coming downstairs.

"We did baccha." Chachi lovingly places her hand on her cheeks.

"Where is Samaira and mum?"

"Samaira is still sleeping, while bhabhi is in the kitchen,it's Noharika's first rasoi. So she is instructing the house helpers to make it easy for her." She replied .

"Where is Abhi?" Chachu asks
"Pta nhi ,he just messaged me that he had an important work.

........

"Kiya kar rahe ho?" Niharika asks when Avinash back hugged her .
"Apni biwi se piyaar," he said, kissing her cheeks.

"Don't do this, naa. I'm already getting late. And look at this saree it's so heavy i can't even pleate it." She pouts, turning towards him , holding the saree's uneven pleates .

"Don't be sad, darling, I'll do it .and don't worry about being late , they know that we are a newly wedded couple . You know jab bhai bhabhi ki shaadi hui thi, he took the breakfast in their room and ate together. And fun fact they didn't even know each other." He said, remembering the day.

"Ab Kiya kar sakti hu I got a unromantic husband, can't you do the same as well?" She sighed, handling him the lower saree,and he started skillfully pleating it.

"Unromantic, huh? What about i take you to Paris or Italy on our honeymoon? Will you still call me unromantic?" He asks, wiggling his eyebrow and making her smile.

When he secured everything, he stood up .

"Why not both?" She asks, smiling. "Why not?" He kisses her forehead."I'll book our honeymoon tickets ok,but now we have to go downstairs. It's your first rasoi today.

........

"Why did you call me here, Samiksha?" Abhimanyu asks Samiksha ,sitting in front of her. The only thing that was between them was the glasses' mirror.

"Do I look beautiful in this outfit?" She asks him the outfit every criminal wore in this jail.

"Did you call me to ask this?" he said, trying hard to control his anger .

"I wouldn't even wish my enemy to be in the jail locker. You know they don't even have a fan! It's so hot in here. and the ladies here... they are stinky,and they like to gossip." She said, looking at her nails.

"Don't test my patience Samiksha,why did you call me here?" he gritted his teeth. He just wanted to go home and be with his wife.

"You are no fun Abhi,and yet I still love you." She shook her head a little. "Just wanted to tell you something about your dear dadima." She said, smirking.

"Do you think I'm the only one who wants to kill Shivantika? Why would I come to India after so many years to you,especially when you are married. Married to someone your grandma didn't like. She was the one who called me here,and she was the one who told me to kill her....I shouldn't be the only one in the jail,she should be here as well She should rote in this hell as well." She said, looking directly in his eyes.

"Are you fucking with me,I swear I'll kill you,and no one would stop me." He stands up from the chair and a officer opens the door for him.

"I know you wouldn't trust me,but I have proofs." She shouts,making him stop.

"Bark,but remember if you can't prove your words I'll kill you" he said making her gulp.

"I don't have my phone here with me, but your dadi has this weird habit of recording her calls. Go take her phone,the last time she called me,so few hours before your return from Canada,and the incident. Listen the audio and you'll know.
She said, a female officer came inside and dragged her to her cell.

"I hope she is wrong" Abhimanyu whispers.

"Kaha the" Shivantika asks as I stepped in the room.
"I told you that I had work" I told her unbottoning my shirt.

"You don't seem right" She said looking at me closely, I take some steps back from her, and clear my throat.

"What do you mean I'm perfectly fine" I say acting normal.
"No you are not, I can clearly see you are not" She said keeping her arms crossed.

"I told you I'm okay, samaj nhi aata, sar dukhne lga diya hai" I say in anger and slightly raised my voice.

She flinch a little not expecting this, taking some steps back from me she apologized softly and then went from there.

"Fuck, not this yaar, why is my life so complicated"I frown passing my hand on my hair.

After re-buttoning my shirt I went outside to apologize.

When I finally found her, she was in the kitchen, silently helping Niharika.

" Shivantika I need to talk" I say stepping inside, Niharika looks at me and passes me a smile making me nod but My wife didn't even pass me a look.

"Jaan please, let's talk okay I'm sorry" I say not caring if niharika and the workers were listening.

"Later" She says without looking.

"Love.... " I was going to try again when she stops me with a glare "later Abhimanyu, can't you see I'm busy" Fuck she called me by my name, she's absolutely mad.

I gulp and went outside.

I should go and steal dadisaa's phone.
