Myra's POV

We reached home, he didn't say a single word during the drive.

What happened to him??

" Myra,  please go to our room, I need to talk to Ron. " Raj said.

I wanted to know what is going on between them but didn't want to offend Raj so went to our room.

Raj's POV
Two hours ago...

I didn't want to go anywhere with Myra, so, to avoid any phone calls, I made sure that my phone was out of reach and went for a drive as I was upset that she still loved Manik.

Though she looked normal for the last few days, she cried today when Shahs came to our place. She looked shocked when Aunty said that Manik's parents took Roshni to the USA with them.

Was she thinking that now that Roshni has gone, maybe...

No, she is not like that.

But then why did she cry after calling his number??

It was almost 9 at night, I knew that I must go to her friends' party. But I didn't feel like doing it.  I opened my phone and saw 23 missed calls

Shit!! I must go. I had promised, so finally, I drove to our home as she must be waiting for me to go to that party.

I was still thinking about all that when I suddenly got a  message from Ron.

Though I didn't want to check it, I could not ignore it and opened the message. He had sent me a picture of Myra at the party looking very pretty but sad.

Well, she is already there, what is the point in going?

* 'She didn't want to go to the party here but Mom and Dad insisted that if her friends have invited both of you, she must go so she is here and is waiting for you to join her as Mom and Dad promise her that as soon as you will get home they will send you back, so please come.'

Why doesn't she call Manik?? He is also sad as his wife is gone. Or is she sad because of him??
And what is Ron doing there??

I shook my head... I don't care.

Then he sent another picture, it had her trying to wipe her tears discreetly.

Shit!! 

But I was hurt too.

* Stop sending me those pictures.' I sent a message to him.

* 'Fine! Don't come!! People are taunting her and she is feeling embarrassed that her husband is too busy to accompany her to a party. But it's ok.'  he sent another message.

I need to go...she is my wife. My responsibility.

I started driving to the venue.

Just then he sent me a picture with both of them in it.

She was looking very happy and was looking at him lovingly.

What the hell!!!

No, she can't look at him like that. Why did he have to go there??

I drove at the full speed and reached there.

They were in the restaurant with her friends. She was looking so pretty in that gown, I don't know why, but it looked familiar.

She asked him to dance with her as all her friends insisted. Ron shook his head but she asked again.

I dialed his number and he excused himself and came away.

" You came? "

" What do you think of yourself? Why have you come here? " I yelled the moment he came.

" Because you didn't come. "  He replied.

" That's between her and me. "  I said.

" You are in this mess because of me, so I have to clean the mess. I told you. " He said.

" Go home!! "  I yelled at him.

"  Are you sure? " He asked.

" Go! " I said and went to join her since we both were wearing white shirts and black suits.

She smiled at me lovingly and my heart skipped a beat.

" Let's dance, please. Everyone has been insisting and I want to dance with you. We both complement each other. Let's rock the world."  She Said with enthusiasm and I could not refuse her that.

It felt so good to hold her in my arms again.

She was looking into my eyes and smiling. I had to look away or I would have been carried away.

" My friends are saying that you are very good-looking and we look very good together. "  She said.

" You are looking very pretty... "  I said and she blushed.

Shit!!

Why is she blushing? She lookes  prettier when she does.

" Thanks, they all complimented me as well and were asking me about the dress. What do you think about it? " She asked.

" Yes, it is beautiful, somehow it looks familiar. "  I said.

" Oh, thanks, it is the same dress, I wore for the ceremony earlier today.

" What?? Are you kidding, you were wearing a saree. "  I said.

"  Yes, but it is from Mamu's latest collection. A Three in one dress. He gifted this to me. " She said with a smile.

" Three in one? "

" A saree, a gown, and ... "

She became shy all of a sudden.Why?

" And?? The third one? "

" A nightwear. "

"  Nightwear?? This dress? I don't believe that. "

" You can see tonight. " She said and I gulped.

Thank God, I come, what if Ron had said the same thing to her?? She would have said the same to him, thinking that it was me.

Just the thought of it made me very uncomfortable.

No, I need to stop this.

I asked her if we could go home, she was a bit reluctant and her friends also insisted that we should stay for some more time but I told them that we are tired.

They teased us that it was the most common excuse a newly married couple says to get rid of others and spend time with just each other.

She blushed and looked like a new vibrant bride.

I smiled and assured them that we would invite all of them for another party very soon and after thanking them for the wonderful party, we came back home.

I needed to talk to Ron once and for all, so I told Myra to go and I went to Ron's room so that I could confront him about his feelings for Myra. Why does he care so much for her?

But the lights in his rooms were off and he didn't even reply when I knocked at the door.

I could not wake up others at this time so went back to my room quietly.

*******

She was standing in front of the mirror and detaching a few layers and that beautiful saree-cum-gown got converted into a very sensuous nightwear which left her midriff and most of her back bare.

Oh, my god!!! Am I supposed to share the bed with her when she is looking like this, and not touch her?? 

Have some mercy on me.

I didn't realize that I was ogling her,  till she turned and looked at me shyly.

" What happened, is Ron not at home?" She asked.

" He is already asleep, I guess. "  I said.

She came and hugged me all of a sudden. Her arms were wrapped around my torso. And her soft body was pressing against mine creating havoc in me.

"Thank you so much, I know you were very tired after being busy with the ceremony and then your meeting, but still you came to the party and behaved so well with my friends, giving full attention to them. They all said that you are the best husband in the world and I am lucky to have you. Even my family is very happy that we got married, they have always liked you for me. " She said with her face pressed against my shoulder. I was too aware of her in my arms but her words seemed real and fake at the same time.

I don't know why, I could not just enjoy the moment of having her in my arms.

" How does it matter what others think, what matters is that you don't agree with them. But it's ok, I can understand, you loved him, so obviously he is the best, I am just the second choice, the substitute groom. Let it be, as it is, we are already married and things are not going to change. " I said bitterly.

" Raj?? What are you saying?  What is bothering you? As you said, we are married now. Let's clear all this matter between us from the beginning. Please don't hesitate to ask anything you want to, any and every little doubt you have in mind. I want to clear up all the misunderstandings between us. "

"  You say whatever you want to. I am listening, though  there is no point in talking about relationships,  you should have told me earlier, I would have understood. Why did you agree to date me so many times?? Did Viren, Sia Chachi, or your parents force our alliance on you when it was proposed earlier? "  I said with my back turned to her.
