Lakshmi's P.O.V.

"Rishi," I say looking for my engagement ring, it was on my hand last night but when I woke up today it wasn't there, "Rishi!" I have spent the whole day trying to look for it but I couldn't find it.

"Kya hai!" (What is it?) He asked walking into the room, "Lakshmi, I am in the middle of my meeting."

"I can't find my ring." I say panicked, "Last night it was on my-"

"Lakshmi, find it by yourself I have to get back to work."

"But-"

"Lakshmi." He said firmly, "Leave me alone, find the ring by yourself or leave it...it's not like I care anyways..." Rishi stormed out of the room leaving me shocked by his behavior once again, he has been acting so weird after Viraj's Dada's birthday party, always trying to avoid me or trying to stay away from me...

Sometimes he was okay, but other times he was a whole different person.

Hurt I walk around the house looking for my ring, where did it go! I swear I had it on at night...

"Socho Lakshmi, Socho." I mumble to myself (Think, Lakshmi, Think) my eyes scanned every square in of the floor no one had seen it. I asked everyone even, Karishma Bua...inhaling sharply I walked into the kitchen beginning to prepare dinner.

Frowning I made everyone's food asking Sudeep to serve it to everyone. My mood was off, I didn't want to eat anything. It wasn't only about the ring. I didn't like the way Rishi was behaving with me either...he was so hot and cold and lately, it's been mostly cold.

Changing into my Pajama's I went out on the balcony inhaling the cool night air. Thinking about everything that was going on, I heard the door open I knew it was Rishi but I kept my back to him. I was done with his behavior.

Keeping my gaze out into the beautiful view I played with my hands, "Lakshmi?" He said quietly I ignored him. "Lakshmi, mere tarraf dekho." (Lakshmi, look at me)

Clenching my jaw, I looked down at my bare hand, where my engagement ring shined before. He knew how much everything meant to me but he chose to hurt me. He couldn't spear two seconds to help me find the ring. All-day, I have been so stressed and he has been a complete jerk to me. "Lakshmi...I'm sorry."

"Mujhe tumari sorry nahi chahiye," (I don't want your apology) I said coldly, licking my lips, "Leave me alone,"

I heard him move closer as I kept strong, "Look at what I found."

"Rishi mein kaha na, mujhe akele chodhdo." ( Rishi, I said leave me alone) I snapped turning to face him. Rishi was giving me puppy dog eyes as he lifted his hand...my ring was glistening in his palm.

"Study room mein thi." (It was in the study room) Rishi said, "I guess when you brought water for me last night in the room it fell."

I was happy he found it but I was still mad at his behavior against me. "Give it"

Rishi shook his head smugly obviously enjoying the fact that I was mad at him. "I don't think so,"

"Fine, it's not like I care." I spat copying what he had said to me earlier on today, I shoved past him angrily, walking back into our room. I was not in the mood for one of his mood swings.

He chuckled, "Tum mujhe copy karahi ho?" (Are you copying me?)

Keeping quiet, I slipped off my flip flops after grabbing a pillow and blanket out of the closet for myself, resting on the sofa I turn my back to him staring out the window, the room was quiet, "Fine," I heard him whisper, I felt his arms slide underneath me lifting me up surprised I say, "Rishi!" Quickly finding balance in his arms my eyes find his, "What are you doing?"

"My wife is not going to sleep on the sofa when I have a king-size bed." Struggling in his arms I try to get him to let me go but he roughly placed me on the bed, "Stay here Lakshmi."

I shake my head, "I can't deal with your mood swings Rishi."

He sighed, "Lakshmi, I was busy in a meeting...you know I don't like it when someone disrupts me..."

"Toh?" (So?) I say angrily, "Rishi tumhe pata hain ki ye shadi kitne special hai mera liya, aur phir bhi tume asse karoge toh-" (Rishi you know how special this wedding is for me, but you still-)

"Sorry," Rishi cut me off holding his ears, "Sorry, next time I promise I won't ignore you but please don't ignore me anymore. I love when you talk to me...please Lakshmi."

Huffing I lay down keeping my back to him, exhaling deeply I felt his side dip down too, suddenly I feel his arms wrap around my waist pulling me into him, "Rishi!"

"Shh." He hushed me, taking my hand he slowly lifted it confused I relaxed in his arms, a soft smile made its way onto my face when I saw what he was doing...Rishi sneakily slides the engagement ring back on my finger, "There, back with its rightful owner."

Biting my lip I try to hide my smile, "Ab toh muskarado!" (At least smile now!) Turning around in his arms, I looked at him grinning, "Finally."

"Shut up,"

"Tumhe pata hain, tumhari muskarat meri puri duniya roshan kardeti hain...toh asse hi muskarati rehe karo." (You know your smile lights up my world, so always keep smiling.)

Snuggling into his arms, I close my eyes but my smile didn't flatter...
