"Sir, you've to go. It's just the matter of two days", my secretary was convincing me for a deal which is going to be held in Singapore.
"Ok. I'll let you know till the night", I said and excused myself.

Abhi abhi toh naya naya pyaar hua hai mujhe yn se aur abhi usse door jaana gawaara nahi iss dil ko. Lekin ab kaam bhi toh zaruri hai na. Idea! Yn se hee pooch leta hoon. Agar usne kaha jaao toh jaaunga agar manaa kar diya toh nahi jaaunga.

........

"Mere khayaal mein aapko jaana chahiye", she said lowering her gaze.
"Lekin tumhari aankhein toh kuch aur hee bata rahi hai Mrs. Aly", I said lifting up her chin.
"Aankhein dhokebaaz hoti hai. Unn par aitbaar nahi kiya jaata. Aiyye, mai packing mein aapki help karti hoon", she said and started helping me to pack my stuff.

........

I was sleeping peacefully but my sleep got disturbed due to some crying noise. I opened my eyes and had a look beside me. Yn wasn't there. I got panicked but then I heard her voice from a distance. She was crying and talking to someone on a call. I heard,
"Anu, tu samajh kyu nahi rahi hai. Mai Riyaz ko nahi bataa sakti"

I was like, aisi kya baat hai jo woh mujhe nahi bata sakti. Kahi yeh koyi musibat mein toh nahi. I grew suspicious.

I went more closer and heard very carefully,
"Kaise batau mai unhe ki mai unse pyaar nahi karti. Kaise batau ki mai unke paas hoti hoon par unke saath nahi. Kaise batau ki mera jism unka hai par meri rooh pe unka koyi haq nahi. Meri mohabbat kal bhi koyi aur tha, aur aaj bhi koyi aur hai. Mai kaise batau unhe ki jise maine jaan se zyada chaaha, woh ab iss dunya mein nahi par phir bhi yeh dil bas usi ka hai. Mai nahi chahti ki woh mujhe humdardi wali nazro'n se dekhe. Mujh par taras khaaye. Mujhe nahi chahiye yeh sab. Mai kabhi nahi bataungi unhe. Kabhi nahi... ", and she again started crying.

Yeh sab sunn kar meri aankho'n mein ek dum se aansu aagaye. Mai na kuch kehne ka qaabil raha aur na kuch samajhne ke. Bas ek khayaal dil mein tha, hamari life itni tangled (complicated) kyu hai? Mujhe pehli baar pyaar huwa toh bhi aisi ladki se jo already kisi aur se pyaar karti hai. Par woh iss duniya mein nahi phir bhi uski mohabbat nahi badli. Mai beech mein kahan se aagaya? Kyu mujhe pyaar huwa? Kyu?

With these thoughts in my mind. I moved a little back and DHUM. I bumped into a vase and it fell down. Yn looked at me and understood that I heard everything.

"Riyaz.. Woh....", and she stopped because she herself don't have any explanation. I laid on bed with a pale face. She also laid beside me but our hearts were far away from each other.

.........

The next morning, I left without even meeting yn.

Yn's POV

I myself don't know what to do and his anger is common. The way he reacted is common. Every husband would react like this. I can't do anything. All I'm afraid is, what if he leave me?

..........

Today Riyaz is going to come and I made a lot of tasty dishes for him.

"Riyaz ko kheer bhi bohat pasand hai", bhabhi said.
"Mujhe toh kheer banani hee nahi aati", I replied with a sad face.
"Koyi na, mai sikhaati hoon tumhe", she said and started teaching me. She was giving instructions and I was following it.
"Dry fruits toh hai hee nahi", I said to myself.
"Wahan honge oopar wale cupboard mein", she said. I was taking out dry fruits and I saw the reflection of bhabhi in the mirror. She was adding a lot of sugar in kheer which we already did. I got angry and stepped down with a jerk.
"Bhabhi", I yelled and pushed her hand slightly. Her hand slightly burned due to the hot spoon.
"Ouch yn. Yeh kya tumne", she said and started over reacting.
Everybody came there and Chachi asked, "Kya huwa ro kyu rahi ho".
"Mai isko kheer banana sikha rahi thi", she said to Chachi and looked towards me.
She continued, "Yn agar tumhe mera way pasand nahi toh bata deti na. Mujhe itni chot pahunchane ki kya zarurat thi?".
"What.. Maine.. ", I was about to say but Chachi scolded me, "Agar aata nahi toh banao mat. Chup chaap bethi raho. Humein impress karne ki koyi zarurat nahi. Bas dard hee dena aata hoga tumhe logo'n ko. Pata nahi apne maike se kya seekh kar aayi hai". She yelled at me and I was at the edge of crying. I ran towards my room.

........

I was crying when suddenly my door opened. I looked at the person and stood up. He left his suitcase and I hugged him tightly while sobbing.
"Rii.. "
