"Hey Priya" Keerti and Palash greeted Priya as soon as they reach airport.

"Hello both of you." Priya wished them back.

"Where is your husband? I thought we could witness some airport romance between you and your husband after all you both are parting for sometime just after few days of marriage." Keerti chuckled at her own statement and Palash and others too joined her.

Priya thinks "He doesn't even allow me to go if he is at home." Priya looks somewhere else thinking about Ram.

"Priya...!" Keerti jerked her arm bringing her back.

"Actually he is completely occupied with some priority work so he couldn't make it." Priya lied flashing a faint smile.

"We also want to see who that lucky man is." Palash said looking at Priya.

Priya nodded her head in affirmative.

"Oh okay, common get going." Palash followed them and make their way inside the airport along with other colleagues.

Ram is clearly upset with whatever happened between Priya and him.

"How could she even say such things? Priya has literally crossed the limit this time." Ram pissed off with the thought and each bitter moment from his past comes in front of his eyes.

Unfortunately his thoughts are all occupied with her words even though he tried to escape, he failed miserbly to do the same. He is restlessly walking back and froth in his hotel room checking his phone numerous times by now.

"She didn't even care to apologize for her mistake. I can't believe this, she doesn't even care where I am since yesterday." Ram is super angry with his wife's cold behavior towards him.

On the other side, Priya has landed in her hotel room and settled herself on the bed keeping her luggage aside.

"Finally I am going to enjoy some alone and peaceful time all by myself. I very much needed this break in my life." Priya archs her head back on the headrest and close her eyes for few minutes.

She checks her watch and talk to herself. "I still have sometime left to freshen up and attend the training. Let me talk to dadi and inform that I have reached safely."

Ram has decided to call dadi and check on her health.

"Hi dadi, how are you?" Ram asked his dadi as soon as she picks up the mobile.

"Hello golu. I am fine, how are you dear?" Dadi asked.

"I am fine too. Did you take your medicines today?" He asked.

"I have taken them. Did you eat something?" Dadi asked in concerned voice.

"haa dadi." Ram lied.

"I know you must have not had anything. I know my grandchild very well." Dadi said and he remained silent.

"What happened between you two?" Dadi couldn't hold back asking him.

"Nothing dadi. Just a small fight." Ram said calmly rubbing his temple.

"Fights are very common in every couple. Try to sort out the things instead of running away from each other." Dadi adviced.

"Why are you telling me alone? Tell Priya who has started this." Ram complained making an irritated face.

"I have already told her when she called me before you." Dadi said.

"Wait a minute. Why did she call you when you both are in the same house? Did she go to her training?" Ram asked arching his brow with an angry face.

"Yes, she has informed me before going to her training." She said.

"Okay dadi. I will call you later take care." Ram said with a faint voice.

"Golu both of you come home soon and sort out the things between you two." Dadi suggested before hanging up the call.

Ram nodded simply and cut the call.

"How can Priya go to her training? And on top of it Priya has time to call dadi but she didn't even care to drop a message asking about my whereabouts." Ram is completely pissed off with the thought. He throw his mobile on the floor not before checking for a call or message from her for the last time. The mobile phone breaks into pieces as soon as it hits the floor.

On the other hand,

"Vikram, do you have any idea what happened between Ram and Priya?" Neha asked Vikram.

"No Neha, Ram didn't tell anything to me. He was adamant to go to Hyderabad eventhough that work can be finished over video conferencing." Vikram looked at Neha reciprocating her confused look.

"Something fishy. Let me talk to Priya once and you talk to Ram. I don't know what these guys are upto, they are behaving like kids." Neha throw her hands in air.

"Yeah let's talk to them first." Vikram nodded his head apprehensive.

In Pune, Priya is feeling uneasy of hurting Ram with her words. She is not able to pay attention in her training. Her whole day passed just with his thoughts and hesitation to call him or not.

"Looks like you are lost somewhere, is everything alright?" Palash asked as soon as they finish the training for the day.

"Yeah yeah everything is fine." Priya nodded her head.

"Don't lie. I have been noticing you." Keerti caught her lie.

"Arey nothing like that yaar. The training is not quite interesting to me. How did you find it?" Priya is very much good at diverting topics.

"Haa infact I was also not able to pay much attention, you know?" Keerti make faces while saying this.

Everyone spend sometime before returning to their rooms.

In the evening, Priya is sitting in her hotel room and lost in her own thoughts.

"Why am I not able to focus on my training? I fought with Mr Kapoor to come hear to attend this, what am I doing then?" Priya asked herself in wonder.

Her phone buzzed suddenly making her jerk out of her position. Somewhere in the back of her mind she expected that call from Ram but gets little disappointed seeing Neha's number. She clears her throat before answering the call.

"Hi Neha, how are you?" Priya asked.

"Hello Priya, what's going?" Neha shoots her question angrily as soon as Priya answers.

"Sorry, what are you asking about?" Priya asked knotting her eyebrows.

"Seriously Priya, you are asking me this question?" Neha asked sarcastically.

"Neha, don't beat around the bush. Ask me directly if you want to know about something." Priya responded plainly.

"What happened between you and Ram? Why did he leave to Hyderabad and you to Pune all of a sudden?" Neha asked finally.

"Your friend didn't tell you the reason?" Priya asked pursing her lips.

"No, he didn't. So my dear friend do you care to share?" Neha asked dramatically yet sarcasm in her voice is very clear to Priya.

Priya shut her eyes and exhales breathe deeply.

"We had a fight and we have said few things which we are not intend to say to each other." Priya bite her lower lip.

"What you guys are doing yaar? Fights and misunderstandings do happen in between every couple. I understand the equation between you and Ram is different but how long you people decided to stay like this? Ram is trying his best to take this relationship ahead but sorry to say this but I don't see any progress from your side. You people should discuss and sort out the things instead of running away from each other." Neha said to Priya in a single breath.

Priya listen everything calmly and understands that Neha is very much pissed off with them.

"I sometimes feel that I did make a mistake by not trying to stop your marriage when you are literally not interested in this relationship. You both are not taking this relationship ahead. But let me tell you that you can't get a better husband than Ram, I know him since ages and I hope you realize it soon." Neha shake her head side ways in disappointment.

"You always takes your friend's side Neha. You think he never do any mistakes in life. He is equally responsible in this fight. He made me say such things because of his stubborn behavior." Priya retort back.

"See now also you are referring Ram as my friend not as your husband. And I am not taking his side." Neha sounded frustrated. "Tell me truth, did you go to training just because you can avoid Ram?" Neha asked in surprise.

"Yes, I need some break from him." Priya replied instantly.

Neha takes a deep breath and continue saying "See Priya, you guys are mature enough to handle the things so we will not involve in between you two. So you guys speak to each other and sort out, okay?" Neha said waiting for an answer from Priya.

"Yeah sure." Priya said in a low voice.

"When is your training is getting finished?" Neha asked.

"I have week long training." Priya responded.

"How is your training going on?" Neha asked keeping aside her serious discussion.

"Yeah good." Priya replied simply.

"Sorry if I hurt you by my words. You know me right I can't keep anything in my heart. I just blurt it out without holding back anything. All we need is that you guys stay happy with each other, hope you understand my intentions." Neha apologized sensing dullness in Priya's tone.

"No it's okay. I can understand your concern about us." Priya smiled little.

"Take care and talk to Ram, okay?" Neha said again before hugging up.

She takes her phone in hand and checks the call logs and messages. Somewhere in her mind she is bit disappointed to see no messages and calls from her husband.

Priya recollects how many messages and calls Ram used to drop irrespective of his busy schedules. She purses her lips remembering the words those came out of her mouth out of anger. Shutting her eyes completely, she tried let her emotions suppressed.

She is thinking whether to call him once and ask about his whereabouts or not. She dialed his number once but immediately cut the call before even it rings.

"Why do I need to call him? He is no less in arguing with me and said many things to me. Usually he always call me to bother for some or other thing but he didn't even tell me about his trip. If his trip is very much important to him then why he is having problem in letting me go?" Priya scolds him in her head.

"I don't understand what the security problem he is talking about all the time. What is going to happen to me? I am used to take responsibility of my family from a very young age and here he thinks I should be monitored all the time." Priya twist her face muscles keeping an irritating look.

"I am not even allowed to go anywhere alone. Either guards or driver accompany me all the time wherever I go. I feel so suffocated and restricted with this new lifestyle. It is all new to me and that is the reason I need some break from all these things." Priya walks restlessly in her room for sometime.

"But no yaar I also said some bitter words about his personal life. Should I call him and apologize for my words?" Priya feels so unsettled in her way of thinking.

Gathering some courage she dialed his number only to hear the automated message as his mobile is unreachable. She gets disappoint and keeps her mobile on the side table after trying for one more time.

She shut her eyes trying to catch some sleep.

"I should have get some good sleep after all I don't have to bear his snoring all the time but why am I not getting sleep?" She asked herself in wonder. She finds some sort of warmth whenever he sleep holding her close to him. Priya feel so weird thinking about him all the time. She takes her mobile in hand and scroll randomly on her news feed.

Something caught her attention. It is a random psychology quote that says

"The very last person on your mind before you close your eyes at night,

Is either the reason for your happiness or pain."

"Ram is my happiness or pain?" Priya finds herself in fix to answer her own question. She keeps the mobile aside and shut her eyes trying to sleep.

On the other side, Ram is boiling with anger. He toss and turn on the bed restlessly before grabbing the pillow and trying to sleep hugging it near to him.

Both of them are finding difficulty in getting sleep in their respective rooms. They are turning to the sides trying to get catch some sleep.

"Hey Priya, good morning!" Palash greeted her with a smile as soon as Priya joins them on the break fast table.

"Hello everyone, good morning." Priya wished them back.

"Looks like you didn't sleep well yesterday. Are you okay?" Palash asked out of concern.

"Yeah I am fine. I slept little late, that's it." Priya smiled back.

"Priya must be missing her loving husband it seems. After all they are newly married." Keerti said to Palash earning a glare from Priya. Palash nodded with a chuckle.

"Shut up yaar Keerti" Priya scolded Keerti.

"Why should I shut up? I have noticed how much focused you are during the training." Keerti laughed seeing Priya's expression. Palash and others too joined and laugh loudly.

"Okay common have breakfast now otherwise we will be late." Priya said diverting the topic.

"You are very good at diverting the topic." Palash smiled at her.

"I am thinking to plan something in the evening after the training is over. I just don't want to waste our time spending inside the four walls of the hotel. Let's explore few restaurants, clubs or any other places, what say?" Palash suggested.

"I am in. Priya is also in." Keerti said while Priya look at her in confusion.

"You should join us, you have no other option." Keerti ordered pointing her finger at Priya.

"No I can't promise about that. Please you guys carry on." Priya replied.

Her colleagues tried to convince her but she didn't listen. They all make their way to training after finishing the breakfast.

Ram is not able to concentrate much in the meetings and go back to Mumbai.

"Golu good to see you home." Dadi expressed her happiness seeing her grandson.

"Hi Dadi, how are you?" Ram smiled but his paleness in face is clearly visible.

"What happened Golu? Are you unwell?" Dadi checks his temperature keeping a hand on his forehead.

"Nothing dadi, I am just tired." Ram said smiling faintly.

"Did you eat anything?" Dadi asked.

"No dadi, I am not hungry at all. I will just go to my room and take some rest." Ram said before leaving to his room.

"Ok Golu. Take rest and have something after that." Dadi said and leave to her room.

Ram enters the bedroom and exhaled deeply seeing the empty room. He dumps himself in his reclainer after removing his coat and loosen his tie.

He looks at the side of the bed where Priya used to sleep. He rubs his face with his palm before arching his head backwards.

"It's been two days since Priya talk to me. She could have called and talk to me. Why she is being so stubborn?" Ram said gripping his hair back of his head in frustration.

"I know I also said many things to her but this time she could have take a step forward and talk to me. Can't she do that?" Ram talk to himself.

Next day in Pune,

"Let's go to club tonight." Palash said catching everyone's attention after the training.

"Yeah sure." Everyone agreed in no time but not Priya.

"No yaar. You guys carry on, I can't join." Priya said earning a sad face from Keerti.

"Common yaar Priya. Don't be a spoil sport. Everyone is coming so you should also join. Don't say no this time like yesterday." Keerti said.

"Keerti..." Priya try to say something.

"Party is inside the hotel itself so we don't need to go anywhere out. Chalo everyone let's freshen up and meet again at 7:30 PM sharp. I don't want to hear a No from you." Keerti said and everyone disperse to their room.

In Priya's room,

"Dadi told me that he reached home yesterday. Didn't he get a little time to talk to me? Didn't he get any missed call alert from my number?" Priya thinks in her mind.

"Why am I even thinking about him? Let him do whatever he want to. It doesn't bother me at all." Priya shakes her head.

She goes to open the door when she hear the knock on the door.

"Priya, what are you wearing tonight?" Keerti asked in excitement as soon as she enter inside the room.

"Keerti, I can't come yaar." Priya responded.

"Common Priya, we don't get time from our marital life when we are in Mumbai. So use this time wisely and spend sometime for yourself." Keerti sounded reasonable to Priya.

"She is correct, I need to divert my mind instead of sitting idle and thinking too much about my life." Priya thinks in her mind.

"Okay I will come." Priya said with a smile.

"Oh thank god finally you agreed to come. Take this and get ready quickly." Keerti said while handing over a gift packet to Priya.

"What is this?" Priya asked confusingly.

"Open and see." Keerti signaled her to unwrap the gift.

"Wow! It is so beautiful." Priya exclaimed seeing a beautiful dress.

"It's a marriage gift for you." Keerti said.

"What is the need for this Keerti? And when did you buy this?" Priya asked surprisingly.

"Yesterday, remember you denied to come to shopping with us. Hope you like the gift, I would be happy if you wear this tonight." Keerti said glancing at Priya.

"Thank you for this wonderful gift. I like it but do you think I should wear this tonight?" Priya said biting her lips and continued "I mean I will wear something casual tonight and will save this for some special occasion, what say?" Priya said trying to sound reasonable.

"If you really like it then wear it tonight." Keerti keep Priya in a fix.

"Okay done." Priya finally agreed.

After sometime, Priya gets freshen up and stands infront of dressing table applying kajal in her eyes. She did little makeup and looking at her best as always. She feels little shy and awkward in the dress.

Keerti squealed in excitement seeing Priya dressed in beautiful black off-shoulder bodycon dress presented by her.

"Oh my god, you are looking damn gorgeous Priya. Look at yourself." Priya becomes embrassed by her comment.

"Is it too revealing?" Priya asked in confusion.

"It is as covered as it could be. Don't worry about that. You are looking sizzling hot. You should dressed up like this so often, you know?" Keerti said winking at her.

Priya reciprocated her smile.

"Let's go, everyone must be waiting for us." Keerti said dragging Priya out of her room along with her.

"Wow Priya. You look stunning!" Palash complimented as soon as he sees Priya.

"Thank you." Priya said awkwardly tucking her hair locks behind her ear.

"Let's go and party hard!" Keerti dragged Priya along with her.

Precap:

Priya feels uneasy and being followed by someone when she is returning to her room. Someone tugs Priya's hand forcefully, cover her mouth with palm before she scream out of shock.

Her eyes widened in sudden shock and she freaked out completely when she is not able to recognize the person due to darkness.

The very next moment, her back hits the wall and her body shivers in complete fear.
