A guy who was in his mid twenties, was sitting with a girl of same age as his.. They had wore matching dress.. They were talking and laughing, it seems they were enjoying each other company..

It was a lonely place far from the town.. They were alone there sitting on a rock and talking.. He was admiring her and she was continuously blushing..

'baby chalo na ghumte hai' she insisted.. As she held his hand..

'anything for you darling' he said and held her wrist and stood up, they walk hand in hand.. He stand on a big rock, she was standing behind him..

She wrap her arms around him from back and kept her head on his shoulder.. He smiles and pull her in front of self and asked 'what happened?? She shook her head as no and hug him.. He too wrap his one arm around her waist.. They remain in the same position for sometime.. She looked at him and said..

' I love you 'she said and pecked his cheeks saying so..

' awww, I love you too.. And you know what, tumhare saath I love to spent time 'he said and pecked her forehead..

' aacha, then why don't you live with me 'she said and winked at him..

' I'll love too.. But kya karun majburi hai.. Otherwise main tumhare saath hi rehta 'he said and pull her such that she dashed with his chest.. She wrap her arms around his neck..

He was about to kiss her when someone pulled him, turned him around and slapped him.. He looked at her in shock as well as in anger..

The girl with him came forward and opened her mouth to say but stops with a tight slapped on her face..

He held her hand and asked angrily 'what the hell are you doing ?

She jerk his hand and said ' wahi toh main tumse puchna chahti hoon.. Kar kya rahe ho yahan, iss ladki ke saath 'she asked pointing to the girl...

' respect se baat karo.. Friend hai wo meri 'he said angrily..

She held his collar and pulled him' and I'm your wife, dammit 'she said much angrily..

' leave my collar 'he ordered, she didn't leave..' I said leave my collar 'he shouts and jerk her.. She missed her balance but somehow manage to stand..

' how dare you pushed me?? She asked angrily.. She moved forward and try to push him, he held her hands to stop her..

'stop this.. Tamasha maat karo Anu ' he shouts..

She struggled to free her hands but his grip was firm..

'kiske saath aayi tum yahan?? Kya jaroorat thi tumhe yahan aane ki?? He asked angrily..

' haan haan..ye toh puchoge hi, tumhe disturb jo kar diya 'she shouts..

He sighed.

'bakwas band karo.. Jo pucha hai uska jawab do kiske saath aayi tum yahan' he asked again..

'main tumhari tarah kissi ke bhi saath na ghumti..khud aayi hoon yahan' she replied, struggling to free herself, in return he held her hand tight.. Tear brimmed in her eyes..

'hath choro mera?? She said, tear fell down her eyes.. He leave her hand when tear drops fall in his hand..she looked at her hand which has turned red because of his grip.. She looked at him hate fully.. He lift up his hand to wipe her tears, she jerk his hand..

'don't touch me.. tum burre ho vineet , bahut burre.. I hate you, you are a cheater' she left the place saying so..

He keep his hand on his head 'ye ek nayi musibat aab'

The girl came forward and tap on her shoulder.. He turn..
'pagal ho gayi hai kya ye?? Ho kya gaya isse' she almost shouts.. This angered him more.. He held her arm tightly..

'tumhari himmat kaise hui Anu ko pagal bolne ki..' he jerk her..

'come on vineet.. Harkat dekhi tumne uski, kaise thappad mar gayi.. Sharm karo tumhari biwi itna beizzat kar gayi tumhe aur tum dekhte reh gaye' she said pointing to him.. He angered..

And the next moment she feel a tight slap on her face.. She looked at him shockedly..

'main tumhare saath yahan hoon iska ye matlab nahi ki tumhe kuch bolne ka haq hai Abhilasha .. Bhulo maat wife hai wo meri.. Ex ho wahi raho, sar pe chadne ki koshish maat karo' he said and left the place leaving her alone..

....

He enter in his house and directly heads towards his room.. He enter in his room and found her arranging the closet.. He moved in the washroom and came out after sometime, she was still arranging the closet.. He moved towards her and turn her..

'kyun arrange kiye kapde arrange kar rahi ho..' he asked looking at her.. She jerk his hand.

'tumhe kya..tum jao apni uss girlfriend ke pass, karo jo karna hai' she said, in a hurt tone..

'tum galat samajh rahi ho jaan,..tum jaisa soch rahi ho waisa kuch nahi hai' he tried to explain..

'bol lo jhooth.. Hamesha tum yahi toh karte ho aur main tumhari mithi mithi baaton mei aa jati hoon, par aaj nahi..aaj meine sab apni aankhon se dekha hai, tum uske sath..chi' she said..

His Anger raise, he pinned her to the closet..

'chup ekdam chup.. Kya jhooth bola meine haan.. Tum hamesha se janti thi ki mere kai saare affairs rahe hai.. Meine tumhe propose karte hi saari baatein bata di thi fir aaj ye questions kyun.. Haan' he asked angrily..

'tumne kaha tha wo sab thi.. Ye nahi kaha tha ki wo wapas aayengi aur tum unke saath ghumte phiroge mujhe chor ke' she said, her eyes become moist..

He bang his hand. 'mujhe unke saath jaane ka koi shauk nahi par agar koi call karta hai milne ko insist karta hai toh main kaise mana karoon... ' he asked..

'toh kisne mana kiya hai, jao.. Jiske saath jana hai jao, jiske saath ghumna hai ghumo.. Mujhe kya' she said as she turn her face to other side..

'you know what.. Pareshan ho gaya hoon main tumhari in bachkani harkaton se.. Jaane aachanak tumhe kya hua hai, pehle toh tumhe koi problem nahi thi in sab se' he said frustrated..

'aab bhi nahi hai, jao jahan jana hai.. Bas ye yaad rakhna uske badh mere samne bhi naa aana' she said angrily..

He glare her and left the room.. He move downstairs and sat on the couch resting his head on the backrest..

He open his eyes with a touch on his head, he look up and found his sister Avantika pressing his head.. He smile at her and pull her in front of self and make her sit..

'iski jaroorat nahi hai' he said with a smile..

'bhabhi ne bataya, aaj jo hua uske baare mei..' she said..

'main pareshan ho gaya hoon yaar, din par din iska behaviour ajeeb hoti jaa rahi hai.. Aaj toh hadh hi kardi thappad mar diya Abhilasha ke samne..aab bolti hai jao jahan jana hai bas mere pass fir wapas maat aana..matlab hadh hi hai, jhagda wo karegi, thappad bhi wahi maaregi aur fir saari galti meri ho jaati hai 'he said frustrated..

' bhai relax.. Jab unhone pehli baar aise react kiya tha tabhi meine aapse kaha tha ki unka mood swing ho rahe.. And its normal, pregnancy mei aisa hota hai 'she said trying to explain him..

' ye normal hai.. Kis angle se,.. Aisa kaisa mood hai jo kabhi bhi swing ho jata, wo bhi tab jab jab mei kissi ke saath bahar jaata hoon.. Jaane isse kaise pata chal jata hai main kahan hoon, bas pahunch jaati hai aur izzat ki what laga deti hai..' he said and hit his hand on the edge of sofa..

' bhai why don't you understand pregnancy mei aisa hota rehta hai.. Aur aap jahan jaate ho bhabhi wahan issliye pahunch jaati hai kyunki wo aapko leke kuch jyada hi possessive ho gayi hai aur insecure bhi..aur kuch nahi.. isliye meine aapse bola tha ki apni ex's se naa mila karo par aap mante hi nahi 'she said..

' mujhe koi shauk thori hai unlogon se milne ka.. Aab wo log phone karke piche paad jaati hai toh picha chudane ke liye chala jaata hoon..

'but aab tak ek baat samajh nahi aayi mujhe ki usse pata kaise chal jaata hai ki main kahan gaya hoon' he said thinking..

'bhai lagta hai aap bhul gaye ho.bhabhi DCP hai CID mei.. Unke liye ye pata lagana koi badi baat nahi wo bhi tab, jab unhone aapke piche apne officers laga rakhe ho' she said looking at him..

'what?? Officers, mere piche.. Kyun?? Kisliye?? He asked in confusion..

' meine abhi toh bataya..wo aapko leke possessive aur insecure hai, unhe lagta hai kahin aap apni kissi ex ke saath.. 'she didn't complete her sentence and down her gaze..

' I just hate her for this.. Wo aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hai 'he said in anger..

' bhai yaar aapko samjhana hi bekar hai tab se bol rahi hoon pregnancy mei aisa hota hota hai...aap samajh hi nahi rahe... Aur naa unka aisa sochna zayaz bhi hai jo aaj aap kar rahe the uske badh toh mujhe bhi shaq ho raha hai aap pe 'she said angrily..

' heyy! Kya kiya meine.. Kis baare mei baat kar rahi hai tu 'he asked..

' aap jo aaj apni uss Abhilasha ko kiss karne wale the uss baare mei baat kar rahi hoon mei.. Bhabhi ne mujhe sab bataya hai 'she said and made a face to him..

' kya bataya hai?? He asked eyeing her..

She narrated him everything.. Vineet open his mouth in shock..

'ye bola Anu ne.. Saara sar jhooth hai ye.. Aisa toh kuch hua hi nahi.. Main kyun Abhilasha ko kiss karne laga maati mari gayi hai kya meri' he said loudly..

'bhai jhooth bolne ki zarurat nahi hai.. Aapne kiya hoga mujhe pura yakeen hai' she said

'jab behen hi aag lagane wali ho toh biwi ko kya bole.. Tu ruk karwata hoon tera divorce tere pati se bada tujhe yakeen hai mujh pe ki main aisa waisa kar sakta hoon' he said rolling his eyes..

'bhai' she shouts..

'kya bhai' he too shouts.

'main toh wahi bol rahi jo bhabhi ne bataya.. Mera divorce kyun karwane pe tul gaye aap' she asked looking at him..

'badi aai bhabhi ki chamchi.. Usne bola aur tune maan liya bina sach jaane' he said angrily

'kaisa sach' she asked confusedly..

He looked at her..

Flash back..

They were talking and laughing remembering their beautiful moments when they were together.. He was not at all interested but didn't had any choice.. He has managed to push a smile on his face..

'tumhe pata hai yahan pe ek water fall hai.. Chalo dekhte hai' she said, as she held his hand..

'chalo, wo bhi dekh lete hai' he said with a forced smile.. She held his wrist, they stood up.. He tried to free his hands but she held it tightly and they walk hand in hand..

When they reach near the water fall he free himself from his grip and stands there, she was behind him..

She take a step forward and her leg slipped she fall on his back.. He pull her in front and asked..

'laggi toh nai.. aaram se chalo nahi toh gir jaogi'.. He said, she nodded and again her leg slipped this time she dashed with him, he wrap his arm around her as she was again about to slip on the side..

'kya kar rahi ho?? He asked a bit irritated..

' aare meri aankh mei kuch chala gaya hai, chubh raha hai 'she said rubbing her eyes..

He move closer and try to see in her eyes and at the same time Anamika came and slapped him..

Present..

Avantika was left with open mouth..

' itni badi misunderstanding..unhe toh kuch aur hi laga hai, issiliye ye sab hua bhai' she said looking at him..

'uski misunderstanding ke chakar mei meri izzat gayi.. Upar se dard ho raha hai wo alag, kitni zor se maara hai jaise mei koi criminal hoon' he said rubbing his cheeks where she slapped..

Avantika kept her hand on his and said 'bhai jaa ke sorry bol do.. Galti toh aapki nahi hi hai aur unki bhi nahi hai.. Wo kuch bhi apni marzi se toh kar nahi rahi, unko khud nahi pata hota gusse mei wo kya kar rahi hai, aap hi jaa ke sorry bol doge toh sab thik ho jayega.. Bhabhi waise bhi bahut upset hai kuch din se, kal toh ye bhi bol rahi thi ki chali jayengi yahan se.Aap unko pyar nahi karte toh yahan rehne ka koi matlab nahi banta..wo toh apna saman bhi pack kar chuki thi badi muskil se roka unko meine... Jao naa bhai ek sorry se kya jaata hai 'she requested.. He didn't reply to her and moved towards his room..

He Peep in the room and found her lying on the bed with closed eyes, her one hand was on her swollen belly and in the other hand she has a photo frame, she has kept it close to her chest..almost hugging it.. He marched towards her and removed the photograph, it was his..he kept it back on the table... He then cover her with the blanket, without disturbing her sleep.. He turn to leave when she held his hand.. He turn and found her awake.. He sat beside her and caressed her head lightly with a smile on his face.. And in the very next moment she started crying clutching his hand tightly..

'shhhh , main kahin nai jaa raha jaan' he snuggle closer to her and started smearing her back to calm her..

'kahan jayunga mei tumhe chor ke.. He made her look at him.. I love you jaan and I mean it.. He kissed her head.. I'm sorry, aaj jo bhi uske liye but believe me main uske saath kuch nahi kar raha tha fir bhi I'm sorry
, meri wajah se tumhe iss halat mei wahan tak jana pada.. Gussa bhi kiya meine tumhe.. I'm really sorry 'he held his ears.. She pull down his hand and hugged him.. He too hugged her tightly and caressed her head..
' I promise aab kabhi kissi se milne nahi jayunga.. Pehle hi tumhare pyar mei Phas Gaya Hoon aab kahan kahin aur phasne wala 'he joked to light the situation and make her laugh.. She slapped on his shoulder and said' tum bahut burre ho.. I hate you 'she said and separated from him..

He laugh and pecked her head' but I love you 'he said and lightly pecked her lips..
