*Premila Pov*

"Did she tell you?" I heard a sound and turned to see Tajwar walking near to me.

"About what?" I asked back before continuing to do the work in the kitchen while Mridula is working in the garden in the morning itself.

"I know she did, by the way, you are talking to me." he mumbled, making me stop my work and turn back to see him frowning but is lost in his thoughts.

"She didn't tell me anything." I said, but he gave me a disbelief look.

"I heard everything myself along with her." I added to which he closed his eyes.

"The meaning behind my words is not that. I was just saying that I am not cheating on her. There is my mistake in talking about that, but still I would never think about her or any other girl like that." He said and I immediately felt relief inside which I didn't show to him.

If he meant that, then it would have been my big failure, and I don't deserve to be a mother at all. I am glad that it is not true, but his mistake is still there.

"Did you tell her that?" I asked and he slowly nodded.

"I explained yesterday night, but she doesn't seem like believing me. I didn't wish to hurt her, but it just happened." He replied staring at me.

"You should have this conversation with your wife and not me." I mumbled folding my arms.

"But what should I tell to prove that I never said it like that? I was wrong, and I am accepting. What else should I say?" he asked frowning.

"I too know that I did a mistake by rejecting Lavanya without giving her a chance and asked your forgiveness for the past two years. If you can't forgive me, then why should Mridula do it?" I asked, to which he stilled before glaring at me.

"These both are very different, and you know that." He said fisting his hands.

"They are not and the day you understand would be the day I wish for." I mumbled, and he walked away without uttering a word.

"He must have loved her so much as he is angry with you for this long time." I heard a sound and turned to see Mridula standing near the back door.

"He must have but that doesn't mean that he had to live in the past." I said, shaking my head, and she just frowned before walking near to me.

"Can we forget the love we have for a person?" she asked and I wish she is not planning for it.

"It all depends on their wish, Mridula. And also the hope. At the time, even if a drop of hope stays it may never go. I love my husband and I never tried to forget it hoping something will happen even when I know it may be already too late. I will just confuse you more so get the answer from your heart itself." I replied before walking away to take care of breakfast arrangements.

"Are you fine?" I asked Nipuna in the afternoon when she seemed to be sweating a lot and also lost in her thoughts.

She replied in positive before walking away, but didn't remove the hand from her bump. I frowned and waited for Aahil to come but seems like he didn't go with her.

"So, I need to learn how to walk in these?" Mridula asked gesturing the heels.

"It is your wish." I replied, shrugging and she sighed in relief before pushing them away, making me smile, and she smiled back shaking her head.

"I hate them." she mumbled, and I shook my head.

"Aahil! It seems like Nipuna is ill when I saw her in the afternoon. Go and find out what is it." I said the moment, I saw him entering the house.

"Ok!" he mumbled nodding and walked away.

"I will go and look after the dinner arrangements." Mridula said, getting up when she saw Abhivanth walking towards us.

"Is she still sad? And why does she hate me so much?" he asked sitting beside me.

"She doesn't hate you. She just doesn't know you." I replied and he slowly nodded.

"It was my mistake." He mumbled, shaking his head.

"I never said it was hers." I mumbled back and he placing his hands over my shoulders before turning me towards him.

"Stop it! Aren't you tired?" he asked pleadingly.

"It took me years of practice and can't go to a flick of your fingers." I replied, to which he sighed before moving his hands to hold mine.

"I know!" he mumbled sighing and held my hands more tightly before getting up and walked away while I didn't stop him.

I don't know what to do Abivanth. I just don't know! I thought before getting up and walked to the dining area where Mridula is looking at me with a frown.

*Mridula Pov*

I never thought that the couples have very big problems, but just to fight a little bit here and there. However, now after hearing the conversation between Aunty and Uncle I can feel there is more than simple fights.

What I don't understand is how can there be an issue even after living together for all these years? They had to be perfect by now right? If they have those many problems even after having a love marriage, then why can't be the same problems be in mine?

"Where are you lost?" I heard a question and turned back to see Tajwar frowning at me.

"Nothing!" I mumbled before turning around and continued to remove the bangles before frowning at my thoughts.

"You still don't believe my words don't you?" he asked in a low tone.

"I believe you!" I replied, turning back and started walking towards the bed.

"Then why are you so sad?" he asked frowning.

"Why are you so angry?" I asked back, stopping before him with the same frown.

"I am not shouting at you, but I am just confused." He replied without saying anything else.

"Even I am a little confused." I mumbled hugging myself.

"Regarding what?" he asked frowning.

"Why are you trying hard to make everything normal when you don't care whether I am here or not? You didn't do anything wrong, and that's all matters right?" I asked presenting my confusion.

"I just don't like you thinking bad about me." he finally replied after staring at me for a few minutes making me feel a little surprise.

"If you have any other confusions, then ask away. We will make this a confusion clearing day." He added, and I stopped the smile trying to break out hearing his words, but then remembered my thoughts.

"What will you do if your... needs are not... fulfilled like until now? Will you go... I mean... what happened?" I immediately asked, seeing his face, which is covered with anger.

"Do you really think what we have been doing is about that? If it is true, then what was I doing for two years in this room? You really think like that about me?" he asked with a disbelief tone which actually made me feel a little guilty, but I pushed it away.

"You said those words before." I pointed out.

"I was talking about rubbish like I said before, and it is just my fault. I didn't mean any of them. How many times do I have to tell you?" he asked raising his voice.

"But you said that the before one is true." I mumbled, and he slapped his forehead.

"I was talking about the marriage thing. Am I asking for divorce?" he asked and I shook my head before remembering one thing.

"That is because of a threat right?" I asked, and he sighed rubbing his forehead.

"Don't you see I am becoming near to normal? I am trying to mend a little by little with my family? How will my mom threaten me if I am normal? Do you get it?" he asked and I looked at him with mouth wide open.

"But you love her then how can you be with me?" I asked when he turned to walk away.

"I don't know! However, just to let you know I never thought for a second badly about you except in the beginning." he replied without turning back and walked near to the bed while I stood there in shock.

Why does he always make me so confused? I thought before walking near to the bed and laid on my side, but not today with my back to him.

He placed his hand over mine before closing his eyes while I stared at it thinking I may feel some terrible thing like before. However, I didn't get any, so I let it stay there feeling his strong hold on it.

"Don't you have work?" he asked the next morning when I gave him his lunch.

"I will do it after you leave." I replied, to which he shook his head before walking near to the door.

"Did you forget the past incidents?" he asked, turning back and I looked away but heard him sighing and then his steps moving away from the room.

A drop of hope is really a bad thing! I thought, shaking my head and left the room before climbing down the stairs to see Aunty smiling at Tajwar's back and then smiled at me.

"Do you still want to learn all this?" Aunty asked after a few days when I felt really difficult to learn the different drinks again.

"I need to, right?" I asked and she nodded before starting to teach me, but stopped seeing Nipuna entering the house with a big painting.

"Wow! That is really beautiful." Aunty mumbled, looking at it.

"Who knew that your son had such a great taste in selecting his woman?" Nipuna said, smiling before walking away, and I saw the signature of the artist at the end feeling surprised.

"Amrin drew that." I mumbled when Aunty frowned with confusion.

"Really?" she said in a surprised tone to which I nodded, and she started teaching me a again.

"Nipuna! Where are you going?" I mumbled getting up when I saw Nipuna climbing down the stairs holding a bag and the painting.

"I am going to my home forever." She replied glancing at us.

"Do you finally want to tell the truth to everyone?" Aunty asked, frowning and I frowned at her thinking how can she ask her like that seeing her state.

"I am sure you must be glad that I am leaving. Anyway, I have something to show you in which you will be more than happy, Aunty." She replied taking out the papers.

"I am sure your son must have not told you. He is very good at following the rules right? These will ensure that no one of you will even get to see that baby and tell him that he need not to worry about filing the papers because I am going to do it myself." She added before walking away while I stared with wide eyes repeating her words.

"It is late, Nipuna. Why don't you at least let the driver take you?" I asked, rushing behind her.

"No! I can take care of myself." she replied unlocking the door.

"At least think about the baby." I mumble holding the door.

"I am doing this only for the baby, and you don't even know what I am going through so just step away." she said and started taking deep breaths.

I shook my head and called the driver before instructing him to follow her until she reaches home safely. Then I took my hand away, making it possible for her to go in.

"I am really sorry about my words. I know you are trying to help, but I am not feeling well." She said staring at me.

"I can understand and do not worry everything will be all right. You are the strongest woman I have ever seen after one person." I said smiling lightly, and she nodded before getting inside the car and drove away.

"Who is the other one?" I heard Aunty's voice and turned to see her standing there with a frown.

"You!" I replied before walking inside the house not stopping near her.

"Mridula!" she said, stopping me and I stopped before turning around.

"Yes?" I asked, not looking at her face.

"Are you angry at me?" she asked and I looked down.

"I never expected you to say those words when she was crying, Aunty." I replied before I could stop myself.

"I am sorry! I know it was wrong on my part, but they just came out, and we always shared these witty replies between each other." She explained, and I nodded but didn't feel right.

"I will apologize to her when I meet her again." She added.

"I need to go and look after the dinner arrangements." I mumbled, turning away and started walking near to the kitchen.

"Mridula!" she called, but I didn't stop feeling the anger on her.

Why am I suddenly feeling so anger on everyone? And how can Aahil do something because of which Nipuna became like that? Are all the men in this house are like that? I thought before shaking my head at the stupid thoughts and continued to do the work.
