Few days later

At Malhotra Mansion

It was evening time. Anika was busy in kitchen. Sid, jaireem and Shivaay was at work.

Ashi was sitting on floor in a corner. Locking her room. Hugging her knees. Crying badly.

Ashi's P.O.V.

I hate my life. I hate it. Everytime my mom dad snatched what I love the most. Now they snatched my love as well. How can I spend my life to an unknown person. Okay! Now he isn't unknown but still I love someone else. He is my good friend but I don't love him. I love someone else. I am spoiling my, sid and my love's life. I am a cheater. This all is happening because of my mom. Why can't she understand I don't love Sid. I love someone else.

P.O.V. ends

She was crying badly cursing her fate. After sometime her phone rang. Ashi took it and saw the caller I'd. A wide smile cript on her lips.

Call conversation. One side

Ashi (smiling bit but still tears in eyes): Love

......

Ashi (sob escape from her mouth): I miss you too alot

.....

Ashi: I too love you. It's not like that please please don't misunderstand me

.....

Ashi: No. The fact is different. Actually I too love you but you know nah mom. She forced me for this marriage. I seriously don't want to marry him

.....

Ashi: Jaan it's true he is nice guy but that's also a truth that you are my life

.....

Ashi: Yaa Okay!

......

Ashi: I will do arrangements

Ashi: Bye. Love you too

She hangs up the call and sighed. She got up from bed and went to washroom. After few minutes she got fresh and went in living area.

In living area

Anika saw ashi

Anika: Ashi bacha

Ashi went towards anika. Anika saw her face. Her face was red cause of continous crying. Her eyes were red and nose was puffy. Anika noticed her face.

Anika (cups her face): Ashi beta kya hua? Tabiyat to theek hain nah tumhari?

Ashi (smiled): Haan mom main bilkul theek hoon

Anika (worried): Ashi bacha sach bolo kya hua? Tumhara face pura laal laal kyun hain? Kisi ne kuch kaha? Kya hua mujhe batao?

Ashi (held her hands): Mom main bilkul theek hoon. Voh kya hua nah main AC low temperature par karke so gayi. To room me bahut cooling ho gayi thi isliye face red ho gaya. I am good aap tension nah lo

Anika (kiss her forehead): Acha theek hain. Par next time se dhayan dena

Ashi: Mom main sab ke liye khana bana deti hoon

Anika: Arey nahin ashi tu rest kar. Servants bana dege

Ashi: Nahin maa main banati hoon nah. Mera bahut man kar raha hain please

Anika (cups her face): Acha theek hain. Jaisa man kare vaise karo

Ashi: Mujhe nah sab ki favorite dishes batao. I will cook for all

Anika: Acha Okay. Chalo main tumhari help kar deti hoon

Ashi nodded. Anika and ashi went in kitchen and made dinner for all. Sometime later everyone came home. Ashi gave them water.

Anika: Dinner ready hain. Jaldi fresh ho kar aao sab

Jai: Haan mom bahut bukh lagi hain

Reem: Kab bukh nahin hoti tumhe?

Sid: Aap dono raat ko aaram se lad lena now let's go for dinner

All went in respective rooms and after getting fresh. All came to dinning area. They saw there favorite dishes that too smell awesome. Their mouths was filled with water.

Sid (excited): I am more hungry now. Give me fast

Anika chuckled. All sat for dinner. Sid was teasing jaireem. Ashi was staring at Sid who was laughing heart out.

Ashi's P.O.V.

I am sorry sid. Because of my mom I am spoiling your life but I can't share with you that I love someone else. If I will tell you all will be hurt and will hate me alot. I am sorry for lieing. I am sorry.

P.O.V. ends

Reem (shook ashi): Kya hua?
Ashi (shook her head): Nothing

Everyone had dinner and went in rooms for sleep. As usual sid slept of couch and ashi on bed.

Next morning

Anika: Good morning Sid

Reem: Good morning devar ji

Jai: If anyone can see me. I am also here

Sid (chuckled): I can't see you bhai

Anika: Sid ashi ko bhula lao. Breakfast ke liye baitho. Office bhi jana hain

Sid (tensed): Mom ashi isn't in room

Anika: From morning I too didn't saw her. Means she isn't in home?
