" What are you waiting for Niha?," Vandana asked Niha.

" He didn't take any step...,"Niha said.

Moukti yawned at their conversation. Niha took the pillow and threw at Moukti's face.

" What is that for? I am speaking frankly, Niha. How much time will you wait? It's more than year. You can't wait for him life long. Wake up and open your eyes.I never thought I will tell you one day your life is sucking. You're making me do it," Moukti said.

"Will you stop me with your lectures? I will take your suggestions when I need. Ok.What do you want to do? Did you tell Karthik about it," Niha diverted the topic.

" First, I need to confirm it. Then I will tell him," Moukti replied.

" How will you confirm it? We don't have pregnancy kit," Vandana asked.

Moukti smiled mischievously towards Niha. Niha understood Moukti's intention.

Niha immediately said," What you're thinking is not going to happen. I won't bring it for you."

" Why not? You're a doctor. They are available at your hospital. Go and bring them for me."

" Not happening Moukti. Go away,"Niha shooved Moukti.

" Won't you do it for me," Moukti asked showing her puppy eyes.

Niha finally agreed and said,"Ok drama queen. I will go and bring it. Stop your melodrama, idiot."

" Thank you, my darling. Now go and bring it in 15 minutes," Moukti pushed Niha out of the door and locked behind.

" Why should I only go? Anyone come with me," Niha said from outside knocking the droom.

" Go and come,Niha. We both will be waiting," Moukti winked at Niha.

"Idiot," Niha muttered.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Sanjay, Karthik and Shiv stayed in the living room. Sanjay was thinking about his previous encounter with Niha.

Sanjay came back to senses when Shiv moved his palm up and down infront of his eyes.

" Come to senses, dude. Are you daydreaming?", Shiv questioned Sanjay.

" I don't know, bro. I feel something is wrong," Sanjay spilled out.

" What happened, dude? Tell clearly," Karthik asked.

Sanjay narrated everything to Karthik and Shiv about Niha meeting Arjun and both of them having lunch.

" So, you're worried that Niha might like Arjun?" Shiv questioned.

" No, it's not like that," Sanjay replied.

" Then what? Don't tell me you're jealous," Shiv lifted his hands in air.

" In your dreams, buddy. Why would I be jealous?," Sanjay shrugged his shoulders.

" I never thought a day like this comes," Karthik interrupted and hi-fied with Shiv.

" Stop it both of you. You're making things worse. I am leaving," Sanjay said.

" Tell us what happened. So, we can understand, " Shiv said.

Sanjay told them, " Niha lost her job. Today, she told she was going for an interview. She ended up having lunch with Arjun."

" Wait. How did Niha lost her job?", Karthik questioned.
" Thanks to your dad. She lost her job," Sanjay said sarcastically.

" What did my dad do?" Karthik questioned.

" He fired her inorder to save Ananya. They changed the attending doctor name from Ananya to Niha. She got angry and resigned her job," Sanjay said.

" How could dad do that? To save Ananya doesn't mean he could blame on other," Karthik hissed.

" It's fine, Karthik. She messaged me telling she got work at another hospital, " Sanjay said.

" Even though she got a job, still I need to talk to my dad. It's not her fault. He couldn't show others mistake is on her when there isn't any fault," Karthik said regretfully.

" Do you think I will keep quiet after that? No, I am not ok with it. But, Niha is so stubborn. She will never accept what we do. So, don't worry," Sanjay patted Karthik's shoulder.

" Chill guys. At present, Niha have another job. It's not a problem. The problem is Niha having lunch with Arjun," Shiv said playfully.

Sanjay punched Shiv's stomach not so hard but enough for Shiv to hold his stomach in pain.

" Fuck off, Sanjay."

" Take it. It's for irritating me," Sanjay replied to Shiv and turned towards Karthik.

" Ok, I give up.Tell me what's with you?", Shiv asked Karthik.

" Understanding girl is big problem, bro. What's with them? Sometimes times they act so nice. Sometimes they treat us as a shit. Look at Moukti. Yesterday, she was so good. But, today she is avoiding me," Karthik said.

" Learn from me, buddies. I will give you some teaching how to tackle girls. Why worries when teacher Shiv is here," Shiv said praising himself.

" You mean to tell we have to shut your mouth when they are around like you shut your mouth when Vandana is around," Sanjay said. Now, it's Sanjay and Karthik's time to do hifi.

" No, I won't shut my mouth. It's usually Vandana who will be silent when I am around," Shiv said but Karthik and Sanjay didn't pay attention to his words and burst into laughter.

They stopped when Niha came to the hall.
" What are you doing here? Where are the other two?" Shiv questioned Niha.

"They are in the room," Niha said.

" Then, why are you here?" Karthik questioned Niha. Niha turned towards Sanjay. But, he avoided her gaze and turned towards Karthik.

" I.. They.. want to ...get me..pre..no..pizza. So, I am going to pizzahut to bring them," Niha said.

" You can order it instead of going there," Shiv suggested.

"No," Niha shouted and continued, "I mean... We usually ...buy at a specific place... It doesn't....have delivery services," Niha said.

Shiv and Karthik nodded theri head in approval. Sanjay was not satisfied with her explanation but didn't tell anything.

" Come then. I will take you," Karthik offered.
"No.. I mean...why you.. I can go by myself, " Niha answered.

" No, need to go Karthik. May be there is already a person waiting for her to pick up," Sanjay shouted.

" What do you mean by that, Sanjay?" Niha asked trying to understand hidden meaning in his words.

Shiv kicked Sanjay's leg.
" He's ass. Don't consider him," Shiv said.

" Come with me, Niha," Karthik took Niha out.

Niha was thinking what's Sanjay's words mean. She kept silent in the whole journey. She snapped out from her thoughts when Karthik called her.

" Yes, Karthik. Sorry, I zoned out," Niha apologized.
" Thinking about Sanjay. I am telling you, he is ass sometimes. Don't mind him."

Niha laughed at Karthik's words.
" I know it more than anyone else. Why do you stop here?", Niha asked Karthik looking at the surroundings.

" I wanted to tell you sorry, Niha."

" Why, Karthik? What happened?"

" You lost your job because of my dad. I am really sorry. You lost your job."

What made Niha stun was Karthik being Viraj's son.

" You are son of our head of hospital," Niha looked at him shocked.

" Yes."

" How come I not know that?"

" We made it secret to avoid unnecessary problems."

" Stop right there. I don't want to know more. These were enough to make my day. That means Moukti will be daughter in law for him."

" My dad is not like that, usually.."

" I don't want to talk about him. Just leave the topic. It's fine if Moukti is ok with it. But, I won't tolerate any wrong happened with Moukti. She shouldn't shed a tear."

" You told me you want to buy pizza. Here, is the shop," Karthik pointed a shop from his car.

Niha realised what was he trying to tell.
" Karthik...I..don't want to...come here," Niha said.

" What is it, Niha? Tell me, clearly. Where you want to go?"Karthik said.

" To the pharmacy," Niha said playing with her fingers.
" Why?", Karthik questioned back.

Getting irritated" I can't cover up, further. I am going to ask you some questions. Answer me, straight forward. "

Karthik couldn't understand what Niha was telling but simply nodded his head.

" What is Moukti to you? I am telling you beforehand don't ask me why I am asking you. Answer to my questions," Niha said.

" Ok. She is my girl friend."

" That's it."

" No, more than that."

" You mean you want to marry her?"

" I don't know. I like being with Moukti. One thing I am sure is that I can't stay without her."

" Then marry her, Karthik."

" How..can I.. ask her? I mean I don't know what she thinks."

" Why boys are dumb? Can't you see? She likes you a lot. If a girl tries to do what you like, that tells you mean a lot to her," Niha tried to make Karthik understand.

"The boys whom you're telling dumb includes your husband."

" He is dumber. No, he is dumbest."

Karthik laughed at Niha's remark.

"You are trying to tell me ask her to marry me," Karthik said.

" Finally, you understood what I am telling," Niha rolled her eyes.

" But how?"

" Karthik, Did Moukti really fell for you? Or am I dreaming?"

" Why are you creating new doubts in me?"

" You're making me to get doubts. Go and propose her Karthik. I am sure she will accept you."

" How is this related to you coming here?"

" She wanted to confirm whether she is pregnant or not. So, she sent me to bring the kit."

"Oh my god! Tell me what is her dream proposal? I will do it now."

" Are you serious?"

Karthik nodded his head.
" 100 percent sure."

" Buy a ring and ask her to marry you."

" Will you help me in selecting a ring?" Karthik was giving her puppy looks.

" I can't believe this. Both of you are same. Giving me those looks and trying to get things done me. Ok."

" You are angel, Niha. That is the reason why Sanju fell for you."

" In my dreams."

" No, I can prove you."

" How?"

" Wait a second." Karthik took his phone out typed something and sent it.

Niha tried to peep and look to whom he is sending message.

" Don't struggle hard, Niha. I messaged to your husband that you're buying kit for yourself. Let's see what's his reaction is and you can know whether he fell for you or not."

" Karthik! Why did you do that? What will he think? I hate you Karthik for doing this."

" You will thank me, later. Remember my words. Will you help me select a ring for Moukti."

" Whatever."

Karthik took Niha to jewellery shop. After an hour of discussion, Niha selected a ring for Moukti. Karthik and Niha went back to Shiv's house.

------------------------------------------

Shiv and Sanjay were talking after Niha left with Karthik. Sanjay looked into phone when it beeped. He read the message Karthik sent.

Niha is buying pregnancy kit for herself.

His mind wasn't accepting what Karthik messaged. Niha won't do like that. She won't leave him. Will she? He took his anger by throwing his phone onto the ground.

" What happened? What made you throw your phone like that?" Shiv questioned Sanjay.

" Nothing," Sanjay fisted his hands to relieve his anger.

Hearing the sound of breaking Moukti and Vandana came out.

" What happened?" Vandana questioned looking at the broken pieces of phone on the ground.

" Ask him," Shiv pointed at Sanjay.

" Where did Niha go? If you try to lie at me, I won't tolerate it," Sanjay gave warning glances at Vandana and Moukti.

Moukti and Vandana looking at each other to what to tell him.
" Ok. I will tell. I want to check whether I am pregnant or not. So, she went to get the kit."

" Then, why did Karthik message me like that," Sanjay took out his frustration by holding back of his head.

" What did he message you?" Moukti questioned.

" Niha wanted to check her pregnancy."

Shiv's laugh echoed in the room listening. Sanjay turned towards Shiv.

" Do you think it's joke, Shiv?" Sanjay questioned Shiv.

" Look at your face. It looks like you are ready kill Arjun if he stands infront of you," Shiv said between his laughs.

" How is Arjun involved?", Moukti asked Shiv as she couldn't understand what they are talking.

" I will tell you. When Karthik messaged like that Sanjay thought Niha became pregnant because of Arjun," Shiv said.
