Their rehearsal started going like this. Sukoon completed her designs and sent them to the people of Villa Of Love. After some days she got delivery of the costumes. Everyone became happy getting their costumes as they were really great except Rumi who became more jealous of Sukoon.

In these days Rumi tried many things to become like Sukoon and get Agastya's attention but nothing worked. Agastya was behaving professionally with her. This thing only increased Rumi's obsession and now she wanted to break Agastya and Sukoon's relationship at any cost.

One day, they were doing the rehearsals. It was a dance sequence where the male lead bent Rumi down.

"Stop!" Said Agastya interrupting them. "Aise nahi karna. When you bend her down, you have to look deep into her eyes."

The male lead nodded in yes.

"Do it once again." Said Agastya.

The male lead again bent Rumi down.

"No, no, not like this." Said Agastya loudly. "This is not only a dance performance. According to the plot, dance performance ke waqt woh pyaar nazar aana chahiye dono ki aankhon mein. It should seem that you both are lost in each other. Hold her waist tightly, look into her eyes with love and then slowly bend her down without breaking the eye-contact."

Rumi sighed and said, "Agastya uss se nahi ho raha. I think you should give him a demo."

"Demo?" Asked Agastya frowning.

"Yeah." Replied Rumi. "You are the director, right? Agar kisi actor se koi chiz nahi ho rahi toh tum kar ke dikha do. Iss se usko samajh bhi aa jaayega aur woh acche se kar paayega."

Agastya became quiet. He couldn't understand what to do.

"Yeah Agastya. If you show me, it will be a big help." Said the male lead.

At last Agastya nodded and went to Rumi. Rumi was smiling in her mind as she wanted it.

Agastya was hesitating at first when Rumi said, "Come on, hold my waist."

Having no option, he held her waist and she kept her one hand on his shoulder. He slowly bent her down while looking at her eyes. Rumi became lost in him.

Rishabh and Farah didn't like it but they had nothing to do as it was his work. But there was one more person who didn't like the whole scene.

Agastya and Rumi stood up while looking at each other. Meanwhile Sukoon was watching them. Her face had totally turned pale seeing them close.

"Arrey Sukoon tum!" Said Rishabh noticing Sukoon.

Agastya immediately removed his hand from Rumi's waist and looked at Sukoon. He got little scared thinking that Sukoon might misunderstood the situation. On the other hand, Rumi cursed Sukoon in her mind for breaking their moment.

"Woh Agastya demo de raha tha dance sequence ka." Said Farah clearing everything. "Guys, I hope now you have understood how to do this scene."

Rumi and the male lead nodded in yes.

Agastya moved away and indicated the male lead to do it. This time they did it successfully.

After they were done, Sukoon gave a slight smile and said, "Woh main gurdwara se Prasad laayi thi sabke liye. Abhi doon kya?"

"Haan haan, kyu nahi?" Said Farah.

Sukoon took out the Prasad and gave it to everyone. Then she came to Agastya and gave him the Prasad.

"Sukoon woh... Abhi jo hua...."

Before he could say, Sukoon smiled and said in a low voice, "It's ok Agastya. Main samajhti hoon."

Agastya also smiled.

Rumi was fuming in anger seeing them smiling at each other. Since some days, she was thinking of doing something and that day she decided to do it.

"Umm... Sukoon! Ek minute suno." Said Rumi.

Sukoon nodded and went to her.

"Actually meri costume na thik se fit nahi aa rahi. Tum ek baar check kar ke dekhogi kya problem hai?" Said Rumi.

"Haan haan. Chalo changing room mein chalte hai." Said Sukoon.

Rumi took out the costume from her bag and they both went to the changing room.

"Tum pehno, main dekh leti hoon kaha fit nahi aa rahi." Said Sukoon coming to the changing room.

Rumi changed her expression the next moment and said angrily, "Fit toh tum nahi aa rahi, Agastya ke life mein."

Sukoon made a confused face hearing that.

"That day I couldn't reply anything because I was not in the right state of mind. Main hurt thi Agastya ke ignorance se. Par tumhe kya lagta hai? Woh mujhe kyu ignore kar raha hai?.... Woh mujhe isliye ignore kar raha hai kyu ki usse paata hai ki agar usne mujhe ignore nahi kiya toh woh phir se mujhse pyaar karne lagega, pehle ki tarah. Abhi kuch der pehle kya hua tumne dekha. He was lost in my eyes, just like old days."

"Rumi aisa kuch nahi tha. Tum bas yeh bol ke khud ko tasalli de rahi ho." Said Sukoon.

Rumi gave a sarcastic laugh and said, "Main khud ko tasalli de rahi hoon yaa tum? Sukoon tumhari sabse badi galat fahmi kya hai paata hai? Yeh hi ki Agastya tumse pyaar karta hai. You are nothing but a bandage for his wounds. A mere distraction. Warna kya hai tum mein? Kyu uske jaisa ladka tumse pyaar karega? You were never his type and you will never be."

Sukoon couldn't say anything.

"Even tum kya, duniya ki koi bhi ladki mujhe Agastya ke dil se nahi nikaal sakti. What we had, it was different, very special."

Rumi again started remembering those old days.

"You know, the first time when we made out, tabhi hum mein ek spark dikh gaya. Humara relationship ek fling se start hua tha lekin dheere dheere yeh gehra hota gaya. Usse har waqt main chahiye hoti thi. Woh ek din bhi nahi reh paata tha mujhe kiss kiye bina, mujhe touch kiye bina. Aaj bhi jab Ishaan mere close aata hai, I imagine only Agastya. He was so passionate in bed. Tumhe sayad paata hoga."

Sukoon felt disgusted hearing it. Her eyes became teary.

"Ruko main tumhe kuch dikhati hoon."

Saying that Rumi took out her phone and showed Sukoon some photos of her and Agastya's intimate moments. She still kept those photos in her phone.

Sukoon felt like her world stopped after seeing that. It was not easy to see the person you love in another woman's arms. She immediately closed her eyes as she wasn't able to bear it.

"Dekha kitna passion tha hum dono ke bich? Iske baad Agastya ko tum jaisi ladki se pyaar ho sakta hai? Kabhi nahi. Tum maano yaa naa maano, tum uski life mein ek distraction ho aur distraction hi rahogi. He will never love you. He will always love me. Woh abhi iss chiz ko accept nahi kar raha par bohut zald karega. And I'm waiting for that day."

Sukoon pressed her own mouth to stop herself from crying.

"Main na yeh photos tumhare WhatsApp pe send kar deti hoon. Aage se jab bhi tumhe aisa lage ki Agastya tumse pyaar karta hai, toh ek baar yeh photos dekh lena. Tumhari saari galatfahmi dur ho jayegi." Said Rumi giving an evil smirk.

Sukoon couldn't stay there anymore. She left from there wiping her tears.

Coming out of the changing room, she took her bag and started leaving.

"Sukoon! Kaha jaa rahi ho?" Asked Agastya.

"Tabiyat thik nahi hai. You guys continue." She said coldly without looking at him and left from there.

Rumi also came out of the changing room and smirked seeing Sukoon leaving. Finally she succeeded to break her. She was sure that this thing would create problem in their relationship and that was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing Rumi's face, Agastya suspected that there was something wrong. She told Sukoon something and that was why she left. But he didn't ask Rumi anything. He thought that he would ask Sukoon instead.

At home...

Sukoon entered her room and threw her bag on the bed. Rumi's words were roaming in her mind. The photos she saw came infront of her eyes. She never thought that she would see those photos one day. It was piercing her heart into pieces.

Sukoon went to the washroom and opened the shower. As soon as cold water drops fell on her, she broke down completely.

Her heart was paining like hell remembering those photos. Though she already knew everything about Agastya and Rumi's relationship, she couldn't tolerate those photos of their intimate moments. It broke her. She was feeling betrayed. She knew that it was his past but still that past was hurting her. The fear of losing her love was growing by each passing second. What if Rumi was right? What if she was really a distraction in his life?

"No... I'm... Not a distraction.... She is wrong.... Agastya loves me.... I'm not a distraction...." She kept murmuring continuously to make herself believe.

At night...

Agastya returned from the Theatre and saw his food was kept covered on the table. He frowned thinking that usually they both used to have dinner together. But today why only his food was kept?

He hurriedly went to his room and saw Sukoon laying on the bed with closed eyes. He sat near her and caressed her head.

"Baby are you fine? Tabiyat thik hai na tumhari?" Asked Agastya to which Sukoon hummed with closed eyes.

"Khana khaa liya tumne?"

Sukoon again hummed and said, "Mujhe neend aa rahi hai."

Agastya understood that she was indirectly asking him to leave.

"Okay. Take rest." He said and kissed her head.

Then he changed and went to have dinner.

After having dinner, Agastya came to his room and saw Sukoon sleeping. He wanted to ask her about the morning but didn't disturb her as she was not well.

He silently laid beside and kept looking at her for sometime. Soon he fell asleep.

On the other hand, Sukoon was still awake. After Agastya slept, Sukoon removed the duvet from her face and looked at him. She felt bad for ignoring him saying that she was not well. Whatever happened today was not his fault. He was truthful to her from the beginning of their relationship. Even before coming to a relationship, he was always loving and caring towards her. Then how could she have doubt on his love just being influenced by Rumi's words?

Sukoon slowly came close to Agastya and hugged him keeping her head on his chest.

"Aaj maine jo kuch bhi dekha woh tumhara past tha Agastya. Haan mujhe dukh hua, abhi bhi ho raha hai, lekin main uss chiz ka asar humare rishte mein nahi padhne dungi. Rumi toh yeh hi chahti hai lekin main usse humare rishte ke beech nahi aane dungi." She said in her mind and closed her eyes.

Next Day...

Agastya and Sukoon came to the theatre and behaved normally with each other which made Rumi shocked. She thought that after yesterday there would be created some differences and misunderstandings between them but there was nothing. She became crazy and started thinking what to do next.

After rehearsal...

"Guys, humare performance mein aur zyada din nahi bache hai. Success ke baad after party toh hoti hi hai. But let's do a before party at my house." Said Rumi to everyone.

All agreed except Farah, Rishabh, Agastya and Sukoon.

Seeing it, Rumi said, "Come on guys. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. That's why we threw this party. Kaal sabhi apne apne dates ko le kar party mein aa sakte hai. Farah, you can also bring your girlfriend."

Farah thought for sometime and then said, "Ok. We will come."

"Main bhi aa jaaunga. Girlfriend toh nahi hai par kya paata party mein koi mil jaaye." Said Rishabh.

Rumi looked at Agastya and Sukoon who didn't reply yet.

"Tum dono bhi aa jaana. After all it's Valentine's Day and you guys are our new love birds. Tumhara aana toh banta hai." She said.

Sukoon was not feeling like going but Agastya thought that it was their first Valentine's Day and he didn't plan anything for this day as he was very busy. Maybe Sukoon would be happy if they celebrated this day with other couples.

So he agreed and said, "Hum bhi aayenge."

Sukoon smiled forcefully but started getting negative vibes. She was feeling that something bad would happen.

"Yeh Valentine's Day tum dono ke liye hi bohut special hone wala hai. Can't wait for it." Said Rumi in her mind smirking.
