After reaching Mumbai, they all went to a house which Agastya bought one year ago when he thought of marrying Rumi. He built his dream of settling down in this house. And now he was going to live those dreams but with the right person.
Rishabh and Farah went with them to help them to settle in their new house.
After everything was done, they all came to the living area.
"Waise Agastya, tu ek saal baad wapas aaya, kam se kam do teen din ke liye hi sahi mere ghar mein ruk sakta tha. I really miss our old days." Said Rishabh.
Farah nodded her head in disbelief and said, "Bro privacy naam ki bhi ek chiz hoti hai. Woh Sukoon ko le kar tere ghar mein rehta?"
"Yeah. What's the problem? Main thodi unn dono ke room mein tak jhak karta?" Asked Rishabh.
"Tera koi bharosa nahi hai be. Tu kuch bhi kar sakta hai." Said Agastya making Farah and Sukoon laughed.
"Kam se kam tu toh aise mat bol. Jab tu aur Rumi saath mein rehte the, tab unn dono ko meri wajah se koi problem hui thi kya?" Said Rishabh in flow without thinking of Sukoon who was also present there.
Sukoon's face turned pale hearing that and Agastya also became serious. She didn't like it and Agastya understood it.
Farah eyed Rishabh and he looked at Sukoon whose face was sad. He realised that he shouldn't have said it.
"By the way Farah is somewhere right. Privacy is very important. Toh tum dono idhar apni privacy enjoy karo. Hum chalte hai." Said Rishabh changing the topic.
"Yeah we should go." Said Farah.
Agastya and Sukoon bid them goodbye.
"Bye guys. Kaal theatre pe milte hai." Said Agastya to which Farah and Rishabh nodded.
They left from there and Agastya closed the door. Then he sighed and turned towards Sukoon.
"Abhi thodi der pehle jo bhi hua uske liye I'm sorry. Yeh Rishabh aisa hi hai. Bina soche samjhe kabhi bhi kuch bhi bol deta hai." He said.
"It's ok. I understand." Replied Sukoon briefly.
Agastya paused for a while and said, "Sukoon main tumse kuch chhupa na nahi chahta. Mera aur Rumi ka rishta bohut gehra tha. We have stayed together. Even we had a physical relation, jiske baare mein sayad tumhe andaza hogaya hoga. But still I cleared it. Kyu ki main nahi chahta kaal ko kisi aur ke muh se tum yeh saari baatein suno aur hurt ho jaao. Tumhe pehle se hi sab kuch paata hona chahiye."
Sukoon smiled sadly looking at Agastya's guilty face. Yeah she was feeling bad but it was not his fault. He did nothing wrong. He just loved her.
Sukoon went to Agastya and hold his hands.
"Agastya it's fine." She said. "Woh tumhara past tha. Aur past toh sab hi ka hota hai. Mujhe tumhare past se koi matlab nahi hai. What I care about is, our present. Bas tumhara past humare present ko affect nahi karna chahiye."
Agastya cupped her face and said, "Nahi karega. Iski guarantee main leta hoon."
Saying that he kissed Sukoon's forehead and she smiled.
At Night...
Sukoon cooked food for Agastya and they started having dinner together.
Sukoon served his food but he was busy doing something in his phone.
"Agastya bohut hogaya. Abhi phone side pe rakho aur khana khaa lo." Said Sukoon strictly.
"Baby kaam kar raha hoon. Apne team ke sabhi logo ko message karna hai kaal theatre aane ke liye. Naya play suru karne wala hoon. Bohut stess hai." Said Agastya looking at the phone.
"Stress mat lo. Sab ho jayega. Abhi khaa lo warna khana thanda ho jayega."
"Ok then tum khila do. Main apna kaam karta hoon."
"Main?"
"Haan. Pehle bhi toh khilaya hai. Mujhe accha lagta hai tumhare haath se khana."
"Agastya tab tumhare haath mein plaster tha isliye maine khilaya tha. Abhi tum khud khaa sakte ho. Isliye main nahi khilane wali."
"Samajh gaya. Ab tum mujhse pyaar nahi karti. Sahi hai phir. Mat khilao."
Saying that he made an angry pout. Sukoon nodded her head in disbelief seeing his childish behaviour.
"Ok Baba khilati hoon." She said making him happy.
Then she fed him with her hands while he kept adoring her forgetting about the work he was doing on his phone.
After having dinner, they washed the plates together.
After that Agastya said, "Waise dinner toh accha tha but.... Kuch desert mil jaata toh badhiya hota. Hai na?"
Saying that he looked at her lips. But Sukoon didn't get the hint and said, "Ice cream!"
"Ice Cream?" He asked frowning.
"You want desert na? Zyada raat nahi hui. Hum ice-cream khane jaa sakte hai. Mera bhi bohut mann hai." Said Sukoon destroying his romantic mood totally.
Agastya smiled forcefully and said, "Great! Yaaha paas mein hi ek roadside ice cream stall hai. Waha chalte hai."
"Okay."
Saying that she happily moved towards the door.
"Oh God! Yeh itni innocent kyu hai?" He said in his mind making a crying face and then went after her having no option.
After sometime...
Agastya and Sukoon were standing near a roadside ice-cream stall. As soon as the stall owner gave them their ice-creams, Sukoon started eating happily.
Agastya was also going to eat but stopped looking at Sukoon who was enjoying her ice-cream like a small kid. He chuckled seeing her. If this innocence was not there, he wouldn't have fallen for her like this.
"Shy hai, Innocent hai, bacchon jaisi hai, par hai toh meri hi." He thought smiling.
"Agastya tumhari ice-cream pighal rahi hai." Said Sukoon and Agastya noticed that his ice cream was melting.
"Arrey haan." He said and started eating fast while Sukoon laughed seeing the way he was having his ice-cream.
On the other hand, a car suddenly stopped at the middle of the road.
"What happened?" Asked Rumi to Ishaan who was trying to start the car.
"Paata nahi. Bahar jaa ke dekhna padega." Said Ishaan and came out of the car.
"We need to call a mechanic." Said Ishaan after checking the car.
"What do you mean?" Asked Rumi coming out of the car. "Ab hum yaaha khade rehke mechanic ke aane ka wait karenge? Ishu we will be late."
"So what? Iss se tumhe koi fark nahi padne wala. Problem mujhe hogi kyu ki kaal early morning ko meri important meeting hai. Tum toh waise bhi pura din free hi rehti ho. You have nothing to do except attending high profile parties and going to shopping malls. At least don't behave like a very busy woman all the time because you are not." Said Ishaan rudely making Rumi feel insulted.
"It's my life. Main kya karungi kya nahi yeh tum decide nahi karoge. And if you have this much problem with me then you better leave me. After that you will be free to go and f*ck around." Said Rumi angrily and started leaving from there.
Ishaan didn't even bother to stop her.
Rumi was walking on the empty street when she came across the ice-cream stall. She suddenly saw Agastya there and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Agastya! Is it really him?" She asked herself.
She couldn't understand how to react. After one year, she was again feeling butterflies in her stomach. She was feeling like hugging him tightly, kissing him madly like earlier. But she couldn't do anything except waiting for him to look back.
Agastya was paying the stall owner when Sukoon's eyes fell on Rumi who was staring at Agastya. Within a second Sukoon recognised that it was Rumi. She saw her pic in Agastya's phone.
"Agastya." Called Sukoon and he looked at her.
She pointed her finger towards Rumi and finally they had an eye-contact. Rumi waved him hi while smiling.
"Rumi!" Said Agastya with a smile and went to her but not alone. He took Sukoon with him.
Rumi noticed Sukoon and her smile faded away.
"How are you? How is Ishaan?" Asked Agastya.
"Good." Replied Rumi while looking at Sukoon. She was trying to understand who was she to him.
"It's so good to see you."
"Same here."
Agastya was going to say something but stopped noticing that Rumi was looking at Sukoon.
He wrapped his one hand around Sukoon's shoulder and said, "Meet Sukoon."
"Hi Rumi." Said Sukoon smiling slightly.
"Hey.....Girlfriend?" Asked Rumi with a fake smile.
"No. My soon to be wife." Said Agastya while looking at Sukoon with full of love.
Rumi became more sad. It was being difficult for her to accept that he was engaged. Sukoon noticed her sadness. It was evident to her that she still had feelings for him.
"Ohh nice!" She replied sadly.
"Listen we gotta go now. See you later."
Saying that Agastya left from there with Sukoon.
Rumi watched them going like a fool. Her heart pained seeing them so happy with each other.
"Today I met that person who once used to be mine. Who could destroy the world for me. But today he had no emotions for me. Na gussa, na dard, kuch nahi. Aisa lag raha tha jaise main uske liye kuch hoon hi nahi. Jab ki ek time pe main hi uske liye sab kuch thi. Has that new girl completely taken my place? Maybe she has. But why the hell am I feeling so hurt?" She said in her mind and her eyes became teary.
Meanwhile...
Sukoon and Agastya reached home. But something was bothering Sukoon very much.
"Agastya ek baat puchu?" She asked suddenly.
"Yeah sure." Replied Agastya.
"Abhi kuch der pehle jo hua woh tum uske saamne pretend kar rahe the yaa tumhe sach mein koi fark nahi padha?"
"I myself don't know what happened there." Replied Agastya. "Maine na bohut baar socha tha ki agar main Rumi se dubara kabhi mila toh kaise react karunga. Will I be angry? Or will I again become weak infront of her? Aise bohut saare thoughts aaye the mere dimaag mein. Par aaj usse dekh kar mujhe kuch feel hi nahi hua. Upar se mujhe accha hi lag raha tha yeh soch ke ki woh Ishaan ke saath khush hai. Now I am actually feeling that..... I have moved on."
Sukoon smiled but suddenly remembered Rumi's face.
"But maybe she has not." Said Sukoon. "I think she still feels for you. It was visible on her face."
"Still?" Asked Agastya and laughed. "Meri jaan usne kabhi feel hi nahi kiya mere liye. Jab hum saath the, tab bhi nahi. Aur ab toh woh Ishaan ki wife ban chuki hai. Ab yeh sab sochne ka koi sense hi nahi banta."
"But A..."
Sukoon was going to say when Agastya kept his finger on her lips.
"Tum hi ne kaha tha na ki mera past humare present ko affect nahi karna chahiye? Then why are we even talking about her? I don't care what she feels. I feel for you. And it will be only you. Nobody can change it Sukoon." He said in a low voice.
Sukoon hold his hands and kissed them.
"Sorry. Asal mein Rumi ko dekh ke main thoda....."
She didn't complete but he understood.
"I know and it's natural Baby." He said lovingly and hugged her tightly to make her understand that he was only hers. Sukoon closed her eyes getting the satisfaction that he was not going anywhere.
After that they went to their room.
Agastya was placing two pillows when Sukoon asked, "Tum bhi idhar sone wale ho?"
"Haan kyu?" He asked and the next moment realised that it could be uncomfortable for her.
"By the way if you want, I can shift to the other room." He said.
Sukoon didn't say anything.
Agastya sighed and took his pillow. He was going to leave when Sukoon said, "Iski zaroorat nahi hai."
Agastya stopped and looked at her.
"We can sleep here." She said shyly to which Agastya gave a huge smile.
"Really?" He asked excitedly and then controlled his excitement. "Mera matlab... Thik hai... If you are insisting."
Saying that he again kept his pillow and lay down. Sukoon laughed in her mind and lied at her side.
"Sukoon, can I tell you something?" Asked Agastya after sometime and Sukoon turned to him.
"Aaj desert se mera matlab ice-cream nahi tha." He said.
"Tumhe kuch aur chahiye tha?" She asked innocently.
"Hmm. Mujhe kuch aur hi chahiye tha." He said softly caressing her lips. Now Sukoon understood what he actually meant by 'desert'.
Her face became totally red and she covered her face with the blanket making Agastya chuckle.
"Thik hai. Sayad aaj meri kismat mein woh desert tha nahi. Kya hi kar sakte hai?" He said dramatically and closed his eyes.
Sukoon removed the blanket from her face and looked at his face. She wanted to do something but wasn't getting the courage. After thinking a lot, she decided to do it.
She sat up, bent towards his face and pressed her soft lips on his making him shocked.
Before he could reciprocate, she broke the kiss and again turned to her side while blushing heavily. Agastya also blushed touching his own lips. He didn't expect this move from her.
After sometime, he turned to her side and kept his one hand on her body. Sukoon didn't say anything and they both fell asleep while blushing.
Next Day...
Agastya was going to the theatre but suddenly stopped when he saw Rumi waiting for him outside.
