The morning was up..And God perhaps already knew the upcoming of the day and so the sky were covered with dark clouds and light drizzle. Shravan woke up due to his alarm. He looked the other side and found Aastha sleeping there.

He didn't want to wake her up so he went to get ready for the day, he had a meeting in his office. He goes to washroom to get ready for the DAY.

Shravan came out of the washroom and found Aastha up already.

Aastha was busy in kitchen when the bell rings. Aastha rushes to open the door as she opens she finds Suman there. "Obviously who else I can expect so early" she said taking her in a hug. "Shravan hasn't informed her yet." Suman thought.

"Come join us on breakfast today." Aastha. "I would had love to Aastha. But today is an important meeting in the office. Some delegate are coming from Amsterdam." Suman sat on the couch. "Sir has asked for this file Aastha"

"He is upstairs. Go..I will bring you both there some coffee" Aastha said mixing the batter.

Suman goes upstairs and enters the room. "Shravan.." she called and Shravan turned shuffling with the tie. She kept the file on the bed and goes near him. She comes on her toes and ties the tie. "You haven't talked to her yet" Suman said. "I will Suman. I need to be mentally strong" he said without meeting her gaze.

Suman pulled his collar "You need to talk to her as soon as possible." She whispers yell. "Suman this is so complicated. You don't know. I love you but that doesn't mean I can let her suffer between us. I have married her and I have some responsibilities towards her." He says touching their forehead.

"I can't see her like that Shravan. Her trust on me is hurting me more than anything. You need to confront her soon or else it will be more than too much." She said amidst her tears. "I know Suman. I know..I will talk to her." He takes her in a hug.

"Shravan..will you..." Their Aastha enters the room with a tray and finds them in a hug. Aastha is shocked to see them like that. Suman and Shravan seperates from each other. Aastha's eyes know no bond of tears. They flowed without their consent. "Aastha..." Shravan was about to touch her. Aastha backs "Stop.." She runs downstairs behind her Shravan also runs.

She keeps the tray on the dining table. Shravan turns her. "Aastha..I was about to tell.."

"About to tell.." she saw him with a disgust face. "Are you out of your mind? Shravan you..you are having an extramarital affair with her. Chee"

"Aastha please calm down and listen to me." He was about to touch her she slaps his hand away. "Don't you dare touch me Shravan. Don't you dare!" She glared. "Those are the hands...you..you touched her. How..How can you Shravan. You loved me..You loved me na" she asked.

"Then..then...when did you go so close to her. How..how did I never know about it" she held her head in her hands. "Aastha.." Suman tried to. "You just stay away from it" she shouted really hard on her.

"You know what..You have no shame of been calling a second woman here. You are home wrecker. You...You snatched my husband away" Aastha said. "No..Aastha.."she tried to gu further. "Oh..why should I be angry at you, when my own husband is a culprit. But you knew na he is married. He is married to me." She showed her nuptial chain to her.

"You know what..he made me wear this..he made me wear this on the day of marriage. But how can you understand it." She said.

"Aastha..You need to calm down." Shravan tried to pacify her but when heart breaks so hard nothing in the world can pacify that vulnerable soul who would be ready anytime to leave this world.

"Shravan..Shravan..I loved you so much. I loved you truly. Shravan wasn't I a good wife to you. I loved you deeply. I had left no stone unturned. You meant my world. You meant for me everything" she said cupping his face.

"Aastha.. It's not like that. You are my wife..and you will always be my first love, but life took a turn and I fell in love with her. I love her." Shravan explained and it took Aastha in shock. His each confession was breaking her world and choking her to death.

She wasn't able to bear anything more and she collapsed taking everyone in shock. "Aastha.."Shravan rushed to her. Suman brought a glass of water and sprinkled on her face but she didn't respond to it. "Shravan...Calm down I think We should take her to the hospital" Suman said.

Shravan immediately takes her in his arms and they rush to the hospital. She was admitted and being checked by the doctor. Shravan was restless and marching to and fro when Suman brought a glass of water to him. "Calm down Shravan" she rubbed his arms. "How..How can I Suman. If something happens to her. I can't forgive myself. She is very important to me" This created havoc in her.

After sometime doctor came out of the room. Shravan rushed to her and asked "How is she doctor?" "Nothing to worry Mr. Malhotra. It's just the effects of her condition" she said Shravan gets startled "Condition?" He asked. "Yes Mr. Malhotra Your wife is 1 and half month pregnant"

And this shook both the soul to core. One in happiness and other in fear. Shravan turned to Suman in happiness and took her in a hug. "Suman I will be a parent soon." Shravan said elated and Suman put a fake smile on her face.

He rushes inside the room and saw Aastha lying on the bed there. He goes near her and takes her hand in his. He kisses them and whispers "I am sorry Aastha..I am sorry for hurting you." He then kisses her forehead and comes out of the room. He doesn't find Suman there. He searches for her here and there but there were no sign of her.

Then suddenly his phone sounds a 'bing' he opens and finds Suman's message.

"Hey Shravan. Congratulations you will be a happy parent to your child. I know you are so happy. I often have heard you of having little child. Your dream has come true. Shravan I know you must be wondering where I am, but I think that's no more a business for you to know.. Don't call me up. I will never pick it up. I know you will not leave me even after knowing Aastha being pregnant, but here she needs you the most. It's quite hurting for me Shravan to get my love on someone's pity. I don't want that. Aastha giving you permission yo come to me is the last thing I want as a woman for me. I am not that girl Shravan who will wait for you in sideline to let you figure that you would leave her to stay with me. My heart do wants you to comeback but my self respect will never allow it. You were my first love who took my virginity. And will always be mine. But I wish I would have been the same to you too. Good Bye Shravan forever. I love you"

Shravan said nothing only tears flowed from his eyes. After sometime sitting there alone he was called saying Aastha had regained consciousness.

Night dawned and Suman came home, she had spent all her day crying..crying on her fate. She lay down on the bed thinking of Him. The more she tried to forget him the more he came vivid to her.

"You didn't love me Shravan. You never. If it had been me only for you. You would have left her long ago to be with me. I was just a better thing for your ego to be claimed or maybe I made you feel better than her on those beds of night. But still she rules your mind." She said to herself. She laughed at her fate and thought I wish I was never the other woman.

As she was lost in her thoughts she remembered, she immediately opened her calendar in her phone and whispered "My Periods"

10 years later

"Thank you so much for attaining this party. I hope you all really enjoyed it." Suman said cheering the champagne glass. She was a grown up woman in a beautiful saree with that same Charming smile. She was one of the big lawyer of the city now.

She was talking with some of her colleagues when her phone ringed. "Hello..Yeah I am coming up.. Sweet heart. I will be in an hour." She excused herself and rushed to the parking area as she was fidgeting with her purse to get her car keys she bumped on someone hard hurting her nose.

"I..I..I am s" she was stopped in mid when she saw the person. "Shr..Shravan." she whispered. Shravan also was shocked to see her after so many years. "Can we talk?" Shravan asked her. "Hmm..not more than 30 minutes. Some one is waiting for me." She said with a straight face. "Oh your husband" he asked cocking his eyebrows. Suman Chuckled "I never got married." She answered.

They were sitting in the garden area of the place. "So..how is your life Shravan." She asked. Shravan left a pained chuckle. "All good enjoying my life ALONE" Suman snapped her eyes to him. "Aastha?" She asked.

"Oh she..she left me saying I was the most coward guy in the world. And I am not perfect for her. She feared if I fell in love with someone else again and leaves her again so she better thought to part her ways from me. And she begged me for our child. She asked me not to meet her again or her child. And two days later she left..she left the country" he ended.

"Haven't you see the baby ever." She asked. "No..I get her to see. Shubhavi..Her name. We have common friends and I get some of her pictures from there." He says smiling. "Don't you think to meet her?" She asked. "What do you think? What does a father's heart want?" He replied.

"How is..is your life Suman?" He asked. "Nothing more. Busy with my life." She said looking straight.

"Suman. I used to think that your first love is to whom you kiss first or date first but after you left I realized that it is the person who you compare with everyone. And you will be never ever get over it even after thinking that you have moved on" he looked at her.

"Shravan... It's too late you to realise that. We were never meant to be together. We had a journey of that much only. Unfortunately something has left us still tied with each other." She said. "Hmm. Well you look quite independent and bold. You have grown up as a woman Suman. I am proud of you" he smiled

"Thanks Shravan. Well situation tends to do this to us. Well you look quite older." She said. "Hmm.. Situation you know." He said.

Suman stood up "It was nice meeting you Shravan. It's time now I have to go" she said extending her hand for a hand shake. Shravan happily took it. "Me too."

She walked some distance and turned to him "You can come home to meet your child Shravan. He will be happy to meet you. Aakash know you well" she said taking Shravan in shock. She walked away from there and Shravan was lost in his own thoughts about his life.
