'Stop this drama Sujal.'

'Seriously! Now my love is drama for you. Even when you love me the way i do. Why are you lying Kashihs?'

Kashish pulls her hand from his hold. What she did few days back was out of humanity. Sujal' wife is strange. She barely stays at home and when she returns she never spares a glance to anyone in house. She is something else. She works in army. God knows what she does there. How she does it. She is alien in this house but still sujal chose her to marry. Sje understood his game but it amuses her to know that Sujal Chose Naina to marry and make her jealous. If It was Sanjana, she'd have felt a bit insecure. But Naina...She herself is not at home. Sujal is all lost and troubled. It hurts her to see him like this. Sujal should move on and she wants to help him with it. She is not a bitch after all. But...what is naina doing! She too married piyush and she too works in his office even part time but she does. Amd that doesn't mean she never spares him her glance. She takes care of his food, his liking, disliking and all. She tends to him even when she doesn't love him. The bond of marriage is pious and Naina has no respect for that. In past three months Shee has not been home. Kashish saw sujal dining alone sleeping alone and living alone even when he was married with Naina. What does this mean! Is it all facade! Even if it is whats bad in being faithful to norms. Kashish feels like talking and teaching Naina few things but When she is home to talk.

'Sujal. Naina is your wife.i am Piyush' wife. Dont you see it yet! Whatever I am doing is my duty. If I look for you and try to fee you its because you are my brother in law. Dont you understand how our relation is! There is nothing but a wall. We are two different people now. Sujal move on.'

She goes because she knows if she keeps on standing and entertaining him he'll think She loves him too. And this means she'll back out from her marriage which she will never do. She has taken vows in front of holy fire. She cant break them even after dying. She is npw piyush and will be his forever. Her love was nothing. She sacrificed her love for her father. Her Dad has given her world.  Her love was a petty things...

But irony lies in those petty talks which we feed ourselves. Truth or lie, right or wrong, everything is shallow until we have tha courage to stand up for ourselves. This is how it works. For People.

***********

Naina has not been home in days but tonight she has to. She has been i directly told to work from 10 to 5 which means she has been given rest which was not at all necessary. She knows it is just plain lie. She cant be removed for her posting has caught attention of many.if suddenly she is removed it will create a drama and who wouldn't want to watch drama! But she has to wait for same reason. If she is told to work for less hours she will because she cant take risk. Not now atleast.when she is just a step away.

She heard from people about Naren' case. She just didnt initiate talks about Naren but beat around the bush. Some gossip mongers fed her lies but she caught the essence. Naren' case was dealt in same manner as that of Naveen was done. Naina knows the doctor who submitted last report is same. The problem is she doesn't know who he is. The day she finds him or her she'll drag him or her by collar and make him or her say truth. This is how burnt she is. She has lost that patience when it is about end. When it is end she will be the one breaking all norms and laws for this system is broke. Laws are fake and norms doesn't do a good.

She parks her jeep in lavish parking of RG mansion. She goes straight to his room. Takes a bath and comes out. It is around evening and she feels need of a coffee.

Suddenly Naina feels like a stranger in the house. Like she has not been here. Everything is different.

'Mom did make over. Kitchen has been renovated.' She jumps in air hearing that hoarse voice..

Sujal who else. Because other people either dont speak with her or she herself chooses to run away from these people. Like She has some cordial relation with Sujal' mom but other than that she has no idea who is who and what they do. Yes. She knows them but in person...No.

'Ohh.'

Both goes to kitchen together. Naina looks for coffee which sujal hands her. Sujal is boiling milk for himself. Naina glares at that white liquid. Suddenly those vivid flashes arrive. Naveen running after her for making her drink milk. And those flavours he brought for her. Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, berries, what not else. But she barely drank the milk. Though in academy she had to with too many curses in mind.

Except that she has no memory of her life. Either it is Naveen or it is academy or his death and case. Naina wonders how short her biography will be. Starting with naveen...and ending with him. She remembers that text. Aamir has married yesterday. He texted her once again. Complaining why she didnt come. Naina wonders what the level of his idiocy is. Who attends her ex' wedding! No one. No one in her sane mind.

'Your Coffee!'

She looks down. Sujal has poured her coffee too and he is sipping his tea. She picks her cup up and leaves. For she has nothing to talk with Sujal. She is not that kid to bring up that night. They wanted it. They did it. What so fuss about it. Its been done for good. Naina comes to bedroom. Roams everywhere holding her coffee and...wondering how large this room is.

Perhaps these days of leave is going to end up in being her days of discovery. She will find something new...in this house with her inspection. For going club is out of option.  She has no friend and She herself wants to live shut in a room. Perhaps she will be able to understand Sujal and his obsession more. Poor guy...
