Neiv's POV:

I kept walking behind her everywhere she went...

I wanted to talk to her but she was so busy or maybe pretending to be busy that she never saw me once!!!

She kept running everywhere like she was on wheels!!!

'Chaahat...' I tried calling her once...
But no luck!!!

She kept running saying...
'Maa...see these many plates of chaats are enough??? '

To which Maa said 'I guess ask the caterer to deliver another 50 for safety sake. We don't know how many folks would arrive na'

And mom looked at me saying 'What is this??? Go...get ready... quickly... tomorrow is Dishani's Haldi...' and I was shocked 😳

'When did this development happen and we planned a destination wedding na Maa?' I was surprised...

'Yup...But looks like Samarth has to travel to Canada for 6 months so we decided to finish the wedding ritual soon. Infact Aarav and Musky are also getting married. So its double celebrations. We planned to have the wedding here in Kapoor Mansion's backyard.

Tomorrow is Haldi, Day after is Henna and musical night and day after is wedding.' mom said it all and I looked at my little Dishani. I kissed her forehead. I hugged her tightly.

'How will Disha attend?' I asked curiously...

To which Maa smiled saying 'Video call'

'Maa please...it's Dishani's wedding... Dishu is her elder sister'

'Who is pregnant!!! Forgot???'

'Maa postpone it yaar'

'Sorry Darling...we already pushed it multiple times...this time is final and Mr Overpossesive Brother relax!!! 6 months in Canada then she'll be here in Bangalore!!!'

And I nodded. I hugged Dishani tightly. I was quite emotional.

***

We finished our lunch, I didn't see her at the lunch table too. I wanted to ask but I choose to keep quiet.

Clock was ticking 3 pm and I heard the bedroom door being pushed and she entered the room with a lot of bags along with Aaru and Malu.

It was almost like they bought an entire shopping complex.

My eyes widened to which Malu said...

'Relax Mr Kapoor... Now you can't go shopping with that leg with your wife, so we went along and did the shopping. Chaahat told your leg is still delicate. Take care bud.

And Chaah..call us if you need anything ok?'

And she nodded.

They left and next I noticed Chaahat tying her hair into a bun and picking her clothes to go to washroom.

While I went closer to her and when she was almost to go to the washroom I pulled her wrist...

'Chaah .. 2 mins please' I asked her

And next second she pushed me away...

'Dont misunderstand I'm here for you! I'm not!!!
I'm here for Kapoor's and Sehgals!
I leave and hundred questions arise...
Don't take this as a queue Mr Kapoor...I'm determined to leave and I will...

Please tolerate me for another 72 hours and I will leave'

And in one go I pulled her into me...
She crashed into my chest...

'Love....I'm sorry baby 🥺' I said looking into her eyes...

And she pushed me hard...

'Dont use that word again... doesn't suite you Neiv Kapoor...I did everything... apologized to you, wooed you, tortured you ...
I did all that could probably make you calm...I swallowed every humiliation because I deserve it...of what I did to you 3.5 yrs ago I deserved it...

But what you thought of Amay and me!
I'm sorry!!!
That's beyond boundaries!
Nothing beyond my virtue!!!
So please...don't even think of reconciliation!
We were better off as seperate people Mr Kapoor!!! I'm done with you' saying she was about to leave...

I pulled her back by her waist and squeezed her into me saying...
'What if I say I won't let you go'

'Huhh!!! You think I'm a 5 yr old whose finger you'll hold and roam around the world'

To which I pulled her closer saying...
'Why I can only hold a 5 yr old's finger? I can hold my wife's finger too...it's kinda romantic'

'Huhhh romance... First learn to trust your partner Mr Kapoor'

She swatted my hands and went to washroom.

After sometime she came out of the washroom with her long brown wet hair locks left open and she picked a marroon orange saree and went to the changing room

Now I began smirking 😏

I sat on the bed and said...
'Chaaaaahatttt...it's a saree... you need help?'

But I heard no voice...
In next 15 mins she came out wearing perfect saree and I was shocked 😳

To which she just showed her phone..
'There is something called internet Mr Kapoor and anyways I have been practicing it now...
Like I practiced getting bashed and rejected by you same way' she said..

And I felt terrible.

'Chaahat I know I did a huge blunder... please... won't you forgive me once?'

'Neiv I'm not angry with you!!! I'm disappointed in you!!!
I...I don't want to try anymore...
Maybe I gave upon you!!!'

And those words broke my heart 💔

'Chaah'

'No Neiv it's fine...I've accepted it! You also accept it!!! It's our fate... maybe it's not written in our destiny...our hearts are pieces Neiv!!!
Sometimes yours doesn't fit sometimes mine doesn't!
Our puzzle is forever incomplete!!!
We are unfit for each other!!!
And Ishu maa tried to bring the puzzle together... Little did she know we are a mess now... anyways don't worry Neiv...
Just 72 hrs and I will not just leave Kapoor Mansion...I will leave India...I will leave from your life too!!!
This time forever 🥺' saying she wiped that one tear from her left eye falling more on her cheek...
And she left from there!

I broke down 💔🥺

Chaahat's POV:

I left the room and came out holding the pillar I tried to calm myself...

My heart was bleeding 🥺💔

'It makes you feel lifeless when the man whom you love devotionally thinks you are a cheat... Anything is acceptable not this!
He was a Casanova but I still trusted him when he locked himself up with that Kruthi. But his trust shook at a mere misunderstanding!!!'

Just then I noticed guests coming in and i began settling them in various rooms.

I was extremely busy now.

I hadn't seen him the entire afternoon and evening now.

It was almost night. And I was with most of my and his cousins in the backyard while his cousins were deciding on what to perform for the Sangeeth.

That's when Musky shouted
'Chaah Di will decide'

And I was nodding a big no!!!

'Oh Come on Di...Dheem Ta dhare.... please please...'

And I immediately heard Malu asking...
'Whats a Dheem ta dhare?'

'Arey Chaah Di is semi classical dancer... and when she performs on Dheem ta dhare uffff you must see the way guys drool!!!'

'Shutup Musky' I shouted

To which everyone began insisting...

I denied saying I'm wearing a saree...

To which I heard...

'Its ok yaar Musky...some folks are like old stock fireworks!!!'

And my ears alerted hearing the voice and I turned around to see him standing there keeping one hand on Mihir's shoulder and other on Vansh's.

To which Musky asked...
'And what does old stock fireworks mean?'

'Ohhh it means Phuski bumm (in English it means stalllllle ones!!!' he said and I was irked.

'Neiv...you haven't seen Di perform ok'

To which he picked a glass of vodka and sat on the chair like a king and said
..

'Darling your Di can only perform in board meetings 😂😂😂'

To which everyone began laughing.

I was pissed to the core such that I left from there.

Musky, Aaru, Malu kept calling me and I was pissed off!!!

How dare he!!!

Neiv's POV:

Challenging her is like fighting a tigress!!!

But today nothing happened. I only heard curses from my friends as I made Chaah angry and she left the party.

While Mihir patted my back saying...
'Go Neiv Bhai... get your volcano wife here...she didn't eat anything'

To which Aaru hit on his head saying...
'This is why I call you buffalo...' and kept a plate full of food in my hand saying

'There is only one plate full of food here... Go Bhai woo your wifey' saying she winked at me.

I chuckled and left to the room.

I slowly opened the door to see the bedroom window was open, white curtains flying high, all lights were switched off and only dim lights were on. I kept the plates filled with food on the centre table.

And before I could turn around I heard music started blasting from the music system.

And my eyes fall on a figure near the window

And my mouth was wide open...

She kept swinging and moving like wind. So swift and so gracefully.

My eyes kept looking at her beautiful face, her hands holding moving so beautifully and her eyes with that smile.
How beautiful ❤️
Her waist kept twirling and here my heart began beating real hard.

She kept moving in circles around me and all I could do is observe her move like a goddess in an awe.

I was loosing my mind as her legs kept moving faster and her body kept swinging along to the semi classical music. She was so fast that her high tied bun slipped down unleashing her beautiful brown locks. And I forgot to breathe!!!
With every beat in the musical my heart here kept singing it's own tune.

She turned around me non stop and finally settled on a posture gracefully ending what she began.

I kept blinking.

She walked a few steps towards me and looked deep into my eyes and said
'So you still think I'm a stale firecracker is it?'

And I smiled feeling happiest that it was all to prove it to me!!!

My happiness had no bounds ❤️
72 hours isn't so less after all!
You are mine Chaahat and
Yes I loose...but only so that this time
I win you ❤️ my love ❤️
That I promise I will ❤️

She kept looking at my eyes challenging me and next second I pulled her by her waist into me...

She was still palpitating and her irregular hot breath was now mixing with mine.

I squeezed her more into me and kept looking into her eyes, her nose and her quivering lips
..

'You are not a stale one Love...you are my atom bomb!!!' saying I left a soft kiss on her left cheek and she shivered at it.

And I couldn't stop smiling now!!!
