Ahana's pov

"Jaan help me with the tie please!"

"Jaan I can't find my handkerchief?"

"Jaan where the hell is my belt?"

"Jaan mera phone nhi mil raha hai!"

"Shut up!"
I shouted which instantly made Randhir silent keeping his head down. This is happening from the morning itself or specifically from the time the great Randhir Malhotra informed me that he is going to attend a meeting which apparently requires his presence. Here I took leave from office thinking that I'll be with home taking care of him but this man isn't going to understand this. When I asked to cancel it and stay at home,he denied straightaway saying that would leave a bad impression on our clients and from then I am not talking with him. Still since he is Randhir Malhotra,he always has his ways and that's what he is doing right now. Calling me again and again just to get my attention.

"I swear to god Randhir if one more time you'll call me for some stupid reason then.... I'll..."

I stopped midway not knowing what to say which made Randhir's eyes shine with amusement and he pressed his lips together not to laugh. But this time I smirked completing
"I'll go to mumma's house for a week!"

His expression changed in an angry one but it didn't lasted long as he shrugged replying nonchalantly
"It's your wish! But there's no use you know because tomorrow we all are leaving for Udaipur so anyways you'll have to come back. Let me remind you that it's your bestfriends wedding!"

I closed my eyes in irritation flaring my nose in anger remembering it. I looked at Randhir who circled his arms around me and bowing down to my height, said

"Please don't be mad at me jaan! If this wouldn't have been important then I wouldn't have even left the house. And it won't even take long. I promise you'll find me here in the afternoon itself. And we'll have our lunch together!"

"You could've told me this yesterday instead of giving me a whole shock in the morning! But of course aap toh apni Saba ke sath busy the na doing chit chat toh why would you remember informing me!"

I still wasn't over the fact that he left me alone last night to be with her. Though he apologized but it doesn't always work like that. The only thing I am glad is that she left already before I could burst on her for any reason!

"Ahana! Are we going to start on this all over again!"
Randhir glared to which I just looked down biting my lips. He sighed making me look at him by my chin and asked

"Who is Saba to me?"
I squinted my eyes clearly irritated and said

"Randhir please don't...!"

"Just answer me will you?"
He cut me off in middle while I sighed saying

"Your best friend!"

"And who are you to me?"

"Of course your wife Randhir but why are you asking....?"

"Exactly!"
He cupped my face joining our foreheads shutting me off immediately while I looked at him in confusion and annoyance. He smiled which flipped my heart and stated

"No matter what I do, were I go and whom do I meet or be with,at the end of the day, I'll come back to you because you are my peace jaan! My solace!"

That was it. I didn't wanted to hear more than this and all I did was lock my lips with his which made him smile and kiss me back. I tightened my hold around his neck while Randhir pulled me closer such that now I was standing on his shoes sucking his lower lip as he worked on my upper lip. I bit his lip earning a groan from him which made me shiver.

"Jealous Ahana is always more hotter!"
Randhir whispered while I snuggled in his chest breathing heavily with red face. He wrapped me in his arms completely just standing in silence and enjoying the moment. Later he left for office promising to be back till lunch and I got involved in packing for tomorrow. We'll leave for Udaipur tomorrow in the morning itself as it takes almost twelve hours by road and by we I mean all the younger clan. Since the elders found the road trip a bit hectic so they decided to come three days before the wedding by plane while we younger people will do all the preparation which requires our attention.

As I was busy in that,my phone started ringing making me frown as I thought who would be calling me but a full blown smile appeared on my face seeing Vishal's number flashing on the screen.

"Ohhh finally Mr all time busy got time for me huhh!"

I joked as soon as I answered which made him chuckle as he replied
"Hello to you too!" to which I rolled my eyes.

"Achaa I actually have something to tell you?"

"Don't tell me you found a girlfriend already? I mean konsi ladki apna nasib kharab krna chahegi tumhari girlfriend bankar?"
I replied biting my tongue mischievously as he shouted saying

"Excuse me! I am still the hottest bachelor of New york alright! Ladkiyon ki line lagi padi hai but unme kisko interest hai!"

"Hawww! I knew it! Mujhe hamesha se doupt tha ki you were into boys!"
I exclaimed in an overdramatic tone controlling my laugh with difficulty.

"Whaaattt! Ahana tumhara kuch nhi ho skta! Of course I am into girls and for your information,I love you....!"

He started to say in a defending tone only to blurt something I didn't wanted to hear which silenced me too. After an awkward silence of few seconds,he said clearing his throat

"Uhh...see you diverted me from the actual reason because of which I called you!"

I recognised the nervousness in his voice clearly and to ease the atmosphere I replied in a arrogant tone saying

"Haa toh wait kiska kr rahe ho? Just say it already! I don't have whole day free for you Mr Agnihotri as you know I am quite busy!"

"Ohh of course ma'am! So without wasting your more time,I wanted to ask that would you mind meeting this poor friend of yours who flew down to India all the way just to meet you!"

My eyes widened and jaw touched the ground in shock and surprise at his reply as I asked him unsure

"You are seriously here in Mumbai?"

"Of course jhalli! So get ready fast I am coming to pick you up! We'll go to our favourite place and catch up!"

I bit my lips contemplating whether I should go or not? I didn't really had the heart to go out seeing the arrangements I have to make for tomorrow and on top of that, Randhir is going to come back home soon and we planned to have our lunch together but on the other hand I also didn't had the heart to turn Vishal down as it's been a while I met him. At last I decided to meet Vishal thinking to make up to Randhir later.

Giving Vishal a positive reply,I ended the call and went to get ready. Wearing a simple casual outfit I was done and within minutes Vishal came to pick me up and together we left. We actually had quite a good time catching up and reminiscing our childhood memories and to be honest I really missed the friend in Vishal. After my marriage and his confession of his feelings towards me, we didn't really spent anytime together as things were very awkward and different but this time he actually appeared like my bestfriend.We visited our favourite place of childhood that is marine drive just goofing around and talking and that's when I got to know that he actually came to India for a legal matter related to some property his father had here and after that he'll be in Udaipur to attend Swara's marriage which was another shock for me. I mean I was happy he would come but Swara didn't even told me anything about this. I think I need to have a talk with her.

Finally it was almost going to be evening when we decided to return back. Vishal dropped me home and we parted our ways exchanging hugs. I sighed removing the key from my purse and entered our home. Closing the door, I turned around only to find a glaring Randhir standing with hands folded and I knew I messed up big this time.

"Where were you?"

I shivered hearing his cold tone and fumbling replied
"Umm...I ... actually went out with...?"

"Where's your phone?"

He cut me off making me frown as I took my phone out of my purse to which he nearly shouted at me saying

"I called you for like hundred times Ahana why the hell you weren't answering?"

"Actually... the battery died!"
I replied looking down as I saw my phone not working only to feel him taking deep breaths and heard

"I was worried for you jaan! Atleast you could've informed me or left a message or even a note?"

I looked up to see him a little normal and calm and took a sigh of relief replying slowly

"Woh... mujhe laga I'll be back soon before you so didn't disturbed you!"

He closed his eyes pinching the bridge of his nose while I took my time to analyse his mood. He came forward and took me in his arms that's when I realised that he's still in his office clothes just the jacket was missing. Nonetheless,I hugged him back tightly burrying my face in his chest and sniffed his calming yet tempting scent.

"Aaj ke baad jaha bhi jao, never forget to inform me no matter what! Okay?"

I heard him say to which I just nodded and felt him kissing my crown. Breaking the hug,he cupped my face saying

"Come! Let's have our lunch! I am so hungry! I was waiting for you!"

I stilled suddenly as the smile left my face leaving me in a pool of guilt at his words.

"I... Randhir... actually I had my lunch!"

He raised his eyebrows clearly confused but later it changed into an angry one but he didn't said anything so I continued

"Woh...I went to meet... Vishal! He was here in Mumbai and asked me to meet so we had our lunch together only!"

"So this is the actual story!"

He asked or more like stated with a humourless chuckle which only made me feel horrible.

"Here I came early completing my work and was waiting for my wife to come so that we could have our peaceful lunch together but she was busy goofing around with someone else without even bother to tell me!"

I gulped seeing him this angry and tried saying

"Randhir it's nothing like that. It didn't felt nice to turn him down like that. He speciall..!"

"But it was nice to turn your husband down without even bothering to say anything?"

I looked down not meeting his gaze as I had no explanation to it and he went on saying

"You know even I got a call from Saba to have lunch with her but I didn't accepted it but now I think I should have done it anyways!"

Suddenly the mention of her name did something to me and I spoke whatever that came to my mind.

"Ohh so now you are regretting of turning her offer down aren't you! So why did you even bother to come back. You should've infact called her back, spent your time and had a great day with her!"

He gritted his teeth trying hard not to blast on me as he said

"Are you even listening yourself now Ahana?"

"Of course I am! You know what,I will set up a date for you both that would be so nice right!"

"Ahana stop before I loose it!"

"Why? Won't you enjoy your cosy time with your Saba?"

"Ahana you're crossing your limits!

He shouted making me jump on my place and my eyes filled with water seeing which his face soften but before he could even take a step towards me, I spoke

"Tell me something honestly Randhir, are you two really just friends or friends with benefits sleeping  around?"

The hurt which I saw in his eyes was enough to break my heart while I realised what a grave mistake I made by uttering those words. I gulped the lump in my throat as my eyes blurred with tears but I blinked them back only to see Randhir's eyes red and tearful. Tears of hurt which I caused him. I bit my wobbling lips and moved to him but he stepped back from me as if my touch would be contagious for him and that was the last string as a sob finally left my mouth but he had already left me alone stomping away from there.

I slumped down on my knees taking my head in my hand with tears streaming my eyes continuesly as I thought how easily I messed up everything between us because of my stupidity. Will Randhir ever forgive me?
