===============================================================================

As Ishqi locked the room door she realized that now she was inside a room with the one she'd promised herself she would avoid, instead of asking Ahaan to leave and maintaining a distance, she had pulled him closer. 

Ishqi facepalmed herself, "tu pagal hai Ishqi, tera dimaag aajkal break pe gaya hua hai! issiliye fazool tareen harkatein kar rahi hai" she murmured to herself.  "Ishqi" Ahaan said softly and she turned around. 

Ishqi cleared her throat, "Aapko yahan aana nahi chahiye tha, agar Maasi ne dekh liya toh woh galat samaj baithegi, mein uhne hurt nahi karna chahati" 

Ahaan: Mein jaanta houn, tum mere se bohot naraaz ho, meri shakal nahi dekhna chahati but Ishqi mein waqai mein bohot sorry houn...I'm very regretful at my past decisions, he said while his head hung low- 

Ishqi: Naraaz? Naraaz galti pe hua jaata hai, bharosa aur dil thodne par nahi, she looked away- 

Ahaan took a few steps towards Ishqi and gently cupped her face, "I'm sorry Ishqi, meine apne pyaar aur bharose ko apni insecurities aur gusse se overpower hone diya" 

Ishqi internally fought with herself and jerked away from Ahaan, "Humare beech aab dard aur gusse ke ilava kuch reh nahi gaya Ah- Ahaan...aapko mere se maafi maange ke koi zaroorat nahi hai...khatam ho chuka hai saab" tears flowed down her face as she walked to the other side of the room and faced the window. 

Ahaan went towards her, he wrapped his arms around Ishqi and tightly back hugged her, Ishqi's hands turned into fists while she clutched onto the corner of her kurta tightly and closed her eyes, she was having a very hard time controlling her emotions and stopping them from overpowering her logics. 

In a slow and soft voice Ahaan said, "Humara rishta itna kamzoor hai kya?"

Ishqi: Yeh baat toh mujhe aapse pouchni chahiye! But yes! humara rishta tha itna kamzoor ke ek galat fehmi kaafi thi usse thodne ke liye! 

Ahaan: I promise Ishqi, I will make amends, mein humara rishta theek kardounga...

Ishqi: Jab rishta baache ga hi nahi toh kya theek kareinge aap? Aur waise bhi m-mein woh saab bhoolna chahati houn, aur aap bhi mujhe ek burah sapna samaj ke bhool jaiye...she said as she swallowed the lump in her throat. 

Ahaan turned her towards himself, "Burah sapna? You are the best thing that has ever happened to me! Tum aisa kaise bol sakti ho!"

Ishqi: Toh aur kya boloun mein! she wiped her tears and her anger rose thinking of all the ways she was wronged, "Dou saal pehle hum dono saath the, khush the, you claimed to love and trust me and then mujhe ek jhoot mein phasaya gaya aur apne woh saab bhula ke mujhe apni life se nikaal diya! Ek baar bhi nahi soocha ke kya Ishqi aisa kar sakti hai?! Aur aab jaab aapko saach pata chal gaya hai toh aap yeh saab bol rahe hai! Gussa araha hai mujhe aap par AVM! bohot zyada gussa! she ranted and Ahaan listened, knowing he deserved to hear all the words she she was saying and she deserved to vent it all out. 

Ahaan: Ruk kyun gayi, jitna gussa hai saab nikaalo...Mein sunna chahata houn!

Ishqi turned away and took a seat on the bed,"lagta hai ke kuch zyada hi bol diya" she thought to herself, "zyada nahi bola, mein toh isse kahi aur zyada sunna deserve karta houn" he said as he took a seat beside her. 

Ahaan gently took her hand in his and softly wiped her tears with his thumb, "I know Ishqi meine bohot barhi galti ki hai, and also that ke mein shayad tumhari maafi deserve nahi karta. Uss din jo kuch bhi hua woh saab meri galti thi, meine phir apne past ko apne present par influence hone diya, phir tumhara trust thoda, tumhe dukh diya..."Sorry" ek bohot chota word hai and usse bolne se woh saab badal nahi jaiga jo meine kiya aur kaha. Mein galat tha aur woh mein maanta houn, you deserve all the happiness in the world and not the pain that I gave you" Ishqi turned her head and looked into his teary eyes.

Ahaan: I'm very sorry Ishqi, I hope tum mujhe maaf kar pao, I understand if you don't love me and don't want to be with me anyone, he said with a heavy heart. 

"I do l-" she was cut off by the ringtone of Ahaan's phone- he pulled the phone out of his pocket and the called ID made him roll his eyes, it was Dadi- he answered the call and put it on speaker. 

Dadi: Hello Ahaan puttar khidar gaya hai tu itni subah subah?

Ahaan: Mujhe koi bohot important kaam agaya tha, ghar aa ke aapse baat karta houn-

Dadi: Theek hai puttar par jaldi aana, aaj humne Tia ke ghar jaana hai, tum dono ke rishte ki baat ke liye unhone lunch pe bulaya hai...

Ishqi looked at Ahaan hurt and shocked, he nodded in a no indicating that in no way was he going to do what his grandma was saying, "Mein nahi aa paounga aur na hi mein Tia se koi shaadi vaadi karne waala houn, agar aap bhool gayi hai toh mein aapko yaad dila deta houn ke meri aur Ishqi ki shaadi tooti nahi hai, aur na hi kabhi toote gi!"

Dadi: Puttar tu kyun uss ladki se umeedein lagaya baitha hai! Ussne divorce papers par sign kardiya hai, tu bhi karde aur uss kisse ko khatam kar! Teri Dadi tujhe zindagi mein aage barhte hue khush dekhna chahati hai..

"Divorce Papers?" Ishqi murmured, "meine koi sign vine nahi kiya!" - Ishqi whispered to Ahaan, who's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief over his grandma's lies.  

Ahaan: Dadi! Aap please meri aur Tia ki shaadi ke baare mein bhool jaiye! Mein sirf aur sirf Ishqi ka houn! 

Dadi: Par uss ghar-tod ladki ne tujhe dhoka diya, tere pyaar ki zara si bhi qadar nahi ki! Aur waise bhi, meri ek sahaili ne usse Mumbai mein dekha tha kal, apne boyfriend ke saath...woh tujhe bhool gayi hai, tu bhi bhool ja! Aur mujhe tu Singhania's ke ghar pe chahiye dou(2) baaje, baat khatam! she said and ended the call before Ahaan could argue further. 

Ishqi turned to Ahaan, "Y-Yeh saab?" 

Ahaan: Jaab se tum gayi ho tab se Dadi mujhe yeh saab jhooti kahaniyan sunna rahi hai, ek saal pehle ek Tia naam ki chipku ladki unhone mere liye pasand ki thi aur aab woh chahati hai ke mein divorce papers pe sign kardoun aur usse shaadi karloun...Aur woh Tia bhi kuch kam nahi hai...Pata nahi kyun mere peeche parhi hui hai! 

Ishqi slightly nodded, she realized how many lies Dadi had fed Ahaan for the past two years, and how much he trusted her, now he was left all broken and guilty. Despite the several arguments her brain put forward, Ishqi put her hands up to his face and wiped Ahaan's tears while shaking her head in a no. 

Ishqi: Meri ek baat maane ge? she asked-

Ahaan nodded, "Ek idea hai...Tia naam ki problem ko aapki life se nikaalne ka" she said while a mischievous grin lingered on her lips. 

Ahaan: Matlab?

Ishqi: Arrey! Matlab ke hum abhi bhi legally married hai, toh aap kabhi bhi Tia se shaadi nahi kar sakte...right? she raised her eyebrow. 

Ahaan chuckled, "Right" 

"Thank-god inhone smile toh ki" Ishqi thought to herself, "Toh phir theek hai! Hum dono saath jaige Singhania's ke ghar, mein bhi toh dekhoun ke Dadi ji kis ladki se mere pati ki shaadi karwana chahati hai" 

Ahaan nodded obediently, he knew she hadn't forgiven him yet but a mere mention of another girl had brought out her possessive and risky wife avatar, he promised himself he would earn back his wife's forgiveness soon too. 

A tamasha awaited them, but a good one though, that would lead to postive outcomes. Now was Dadi's turn to gets shocks and trouble, she'd given other's enough. 

"He broke her heart but she still loves him with all the pieces" ✨
