Last night riya also joined dev and sonakshi's home. Sonakshi  happily greeted riya and made all the required arrangements for her. After having a long sleep in the night sonakshi woke up little late and found that dev has already left the bed.
She waited for half an hour for dev to come out of the washroom but he was still inside making her get angry. "Come out I can't stand here the whole day to take bath" sonakshi screamed. Somewhere sonakshi didn't understand those weren't harsh words to make a person affraid and come out. Another 20mins she waited, losing her patience completely she banged the door. "Even I have to get ready" she yelled banging the door and when dev opened the door she slipped a little. Sonakshi finally ended up falling in his arms. The water droplet from his hair reached her nose as they both were lost in each other's eyes. Sonakshi's heartbeat increased as dev pulled her close to him and her hands  touched his bare chest. "I'm sorry I didn't notice" she said freeing herself from his hold.
Dev moved away and sonakshi went inside the bathroom. They had no clue what happened few minutes ago but that ran in their minds for sometime.

After taking a warm sonakshi noticed dev smiling and speaking with his sister. Somwhere that made her feel like a home. "I'm so scared to go to internships bhai" riya said and devwas giving her confidence. Deep down looking at the brother-sister duo sonakshi was also graving for that love. Sonakshi silently walked near the dinning table and served them the breakfast which was already prepared by dev. Three of them had their breakfast In complete silence. "Okay guys. I'm leaving. Bye riya" sonakshi said and stood up from tbe chair picking up her bag she bid riya a goodbye. "Bye bhabhi" riya said with a smile as Sonakshi walked near the main door. "Sona drive safe. Bye sona" dev told raising up from his chair and walking near her. In response sonakshi just nodded her head and walked out near the front gate. Starting her car sonakshi wondered what was dev exactly proving infront of his sister? She knew that dev wasn't that chessy to call her with Nick names. Calming down her confused mind sonakshi focused on the road and drives her car not caring about dev following her from behind. Sonakshi  pretended to be like she wasn't aware about him coming behind of her. The  moment his car over took her she stood silent after holding the break. Dev parked his and came towards Sonakshi. Opening the door he handed over the shawl which was hanging outside the door. "Be safe" he said moving away from her. Sonakshi was completely frozen by looking at his caring gestures. She starter drive to hospital as dev re-turned back home. That made her understand all this while he just followed her to tell that her shawl was hanging out. "Can't he just call me and tell That?" She wondered looking at her phone and the screen which  flashed two missed calls. Having nothing to think further Sonakshi reached her work place on time.

One thing sonakshi did not wabt to accept that day was she was getting tired. Not having a proper breakfast she was also forced to skip her lunch. She really didn't want to complain on her job because she loved being busy and she always wanted to be busy.

Treating the poor patients wounds filled sonakshi's heart but her stomach was about to scream at her. It was around 4pm when she finally took a break. When there exist some doctors who would make patient wait for hours sonakshi was one among the doctor who would wait for hrs but not make her dear patience wait. She preferred her work to be always the first priority. After attending the whole bunch of patience she went to the canteen. Her eyes moved around the canteen to catch some food but sadly what she wanted to taste wasn't available and she further found nothing better to eat. "Do you want anything?" She heard his voice. "Dev" she called out his name "Yes, are you searching for someone?" he asked her. "No, I'm hungry. Looking for food." Sonakshi replied and sat on a bench in the canteen. "I think we can eat our lunch in a near by restaurant" dev made forward a move next to sonakshi. "Well, okay then"sonakshi stood up and walked away from the canteen as dev followed her. "Will you come back to hospital?" Sonakshi questioned dev as soon as they reached near the lift. "Yes,I must" dev replied and got inside the lift. "Okay then I will also come with you in your car. If you don't want that then I need to go to my room and get my car keys" she said in a soft dev didn't reply her but rather he pressed the basement button in the lift  making sonakshi understand that  has no problem with her coming along with him in his car.

Once they got out of the lift sonakshi saw kuhu and kunal. "They are also coming with us to the restaurant" dev said before sonakshi can create more confusion and making his relationship with him more complicated. This time she didn't reply him but rather gave a small smile to kuhu. Dev casually moved near his car and went to start the car. Meanwhile sonakshi and kuhu had a small chat with kunal. As soon as dev's car arrived near her footstep sonakshi quickly got inside the back seat and received a shock look from kuhu and kunal. "Well I always feel comfortable here than sitting in the front and it's definetly not like I don't want to sit beside dev" sonakshi tried to sound clear but the second line she said made kuhu and kunal understand that they both weren't a comfortable couple. Kuhu clearly understood there was still a long way for sonakshi and dev to come together. "That's fine I will sit with you and I really have lots of things to gossip with you" kuhu replied and took the back seat with sonakshi. "Dev do you have some cotton?" Kunal questioned as dev just looked at him with bis wide eyes.
"It's in my cabin. Is it fine if I give you later?" Dev questioned in a serious tone making rest of the three laugh. "Awesome dev. Kunal wanted to tease us but and you ended up doing it more complicated" kuhu said and giggled. "Not funny" kunal replied fastening his seat belt. Sonakshi and kuhu had talks about the hospital and clothing of some patience, while dev and kunal was busy hearing the songs played in the car.

Within few minutes they reached the restaurant and dev dropped them near the restaurant and went to park the car. Meanwhile sonakshi looked out for a proper place to sit as kuhu and kunal went to have hand wash. That place made sonakshi remember her flashback. She always wished to eat Gobi fry and mushroom soap each time anurag brings her there. A small drop of dear falls from her eyes. "Hey what happened?" Kunal questioned her looking at sonakshi rub her eyes. "Nothing much kunal just some dust particle entered inside my eyes I guess" telling like that sonakshi rushed inside the hand wash area. Looking at her run away like that kunal and kuhu panicked, meanwhile dev also observed what was going on there. "You guys order the food, I will check on her" dev said and ran behind sonakshi.

The moment dev reached the hand wash are he looked at sonakshi rub her eyes. He felt like she was crying. How can someone cry all of a sudden? Dev wondered and moved near sonakshi to help her out. "What happened?" Dev questioned sonakshi  and tried to remove  her hands from her eyes. "Just some dust particle entered inside the my eyes. I can take care" sonakshi replied them but he casually pulled her closer to him by holding her waist. "It's better Of you don't lie to me now" Dev said to sonakshi and brought her closer to him by holding her waist. "I know you hate me. Now enough of these dramas." she yelled sensing his hands on her cheeks. "what is worrying you so much?" He still tried to sound polite. "don't worry my problems won't affect you. I promise" sonakshi quickly moved away from his hold and washed her face. Dev felt like she was not going to answer him and decided to not pressure her. They both walked out of the hand wash area and looked at kunal and kuhu who were deeply talking with each other. "Alright?" Kuhu asked sonakshi and she casually nodded her head in a yes. Sonakshi took a seat opposite to kuhu and dev sat beside her. She looked at dev as he ordered her favourite starter and soup but their bad it was evening and soup wasn't available. "One French fries and a medium fried rice" sonakshi ordered and said to kuhu that we will share the fried rice. The conversation they had was little formal. Somewhere sonakshi wasn't able to control her tears which was continuously falling from her eyes. She still tried hard to manage her teary eyes with tissue papers in the table. The conversation kept on skipping from one topic to another and sonakshi just tried hard to have a smile on her face. "Agar iss corona se peedit ek vyakti kee tarah kuchh bhee hai aur main baakee ko chhod doonga to main khushee se mar jaoonga" sonakshi heard that  lengthy sentence from dev. "Anyway it's really a serious issue ya" kunal said and meanwhile the food arrived. "isalie aapako lagata hai ki mere saath jeene ke bajaay marana theek hai" she whispered in his ears still holding a smile on her face.

"No you didn't understand. All meant was I can't see people suffer and it's killing me" dev tried to make her clear but somewhere she wasn't in a position to understand him. "I have a request to you. don't pretend as if you care for me." Sonakshi spoke out of fraustation and silently had her dinner. Dev did not reply her anything. Kunal and kuhu clearly understood they both weren't in good terms.

With tired faces they returned back to hospital after having a quick lunch. "Sonakshi wait for me before going home" dev said to her but Sonakshi didn't listen to him and casually walked out to her cabin. I'M GOING HOME NOW ITSELF. She she sent him a text and went back home.

"I won't say it's painful to wait for someone but it is really painful to wait for someone who I clearly know will never come back to me" sonakshi said to herself and cried as soon as he entered inside the house.
She Never expected life to be so cruel with her. Before sonakshi could completely break down she saw riya entering the home. "Are you okay bhabhi?" Was her first question looking at sonakshi. "Yes I'm fine." Sonakshi replied her.  Riya there is a book in your cupboard with the heading I LOVE YOU FROM MOON AND BACK and you give that to me." Sonakshi asked riya and she replied "I already gave that to dev bhai last night" which made sonakshi just give a casual smile. "It's okay riya. Fresh up and come I will make tea for you." Sonakshi told and walked inside the kitchen.

Sonakshi struggled a little to prepare the tea but finally she made a better tea for her sister in law than she herself expected. Handing over a cup of tea to riya sonakshi went inside the room to search for the book.

Sonakshi found the book in dev's cupboard but before she could take and read that dev arrived to her bad luck. She silently closed his cupboard and lied on the bed. Dev who entered inside the bedroom looking at his sleeping wife decided to not disturb her. He seriously had no clue on what was happening to him but somewhere he really felt bad looking at her cry.

Stay safe from corona virus
*wash your hands frequently and don't touch your face.

Don't go to theatres and malls. Shopping and movies can wait.

Personally speaking I went to a restaurant last night and I really felt bad hearing that I was the first customer in that restaurant. That made me to just go back home without taking my dine in that restaurant. Sometimes its also better to have biscuits at home then eating outside food and falling sick. Take care.

People who can't to work from home really need be more safe. Thanks for going threw this again.
