Randhir's pov

"We should just forget whatever happened between us till Adith and Swara's wedding. I don't have to involve our friends and family in our problem and let them get worried for our differences! We have our whole life to talk and fight but let's just try and appear normal infront of everyone!"

Ahana gulped looking at me hesitantly and was about to say something but I moved out of our house with our luggage coming down. I just couldn't look at her without being reminded of her words she spoke to me yesterday which hurted me straight in the heart. We didn't shared a word from yesterday or more like I ignored her completely whenever she tried initiating a talk.

It was seven in the morning and we were leaving for Udaipur. The thick tension between me and Ahana was too visible and I didn't wanted our friends and family to know about it because they are here to enjoy and live this moments. It's just too hard for me now. I don't even remember doing something so wrong that Ahana spat those words to me? But whatever it is,I am glad for this wedding which might distract me from this mess for sometime but I don't know how I am gonna do that seeing Ahana's dull eyes and regretful face.

"Finally Mr Malhotra graced us with his appearance! Bhai shaadi meri hai aur dulhe ki tarah time tune laga liya!

I rolled my eyes at Adith's overdramatic tone and royally ignoring him, settled the luggage in the dicky while the others laughed at his offended face. I came to were Adith was standing and acted like I was going to hug him but I passed by and took choti in my arms. Everyone laughed their ass off as Adith was still standing with his arms spreaded glaring at me.

"How are you sweetheart?"

I asked choti kissing her crown and broke apart as she replied
"I am perfectly fine bhai! How's your injury now?"

"It's very much healed! Na ke barabar hai!"
I replied smiling at her concern as she nodded relieved.

"Jiju!"

I looked back to see Anshula fidgeting with her fingers which made me smile broadly as I opened my arms for her and she came running to me. She considers me more like her big brother and that's what makes our bond even more special.

"Where's diii??"
Her question made my smile falter a bit but just as I was about to reply we heard Ahana's voice itself.

"I am here Anshu!"
Anshu smiled breaking apart from me and excitedly went to meet her sister while choti too followed her suit. My heart felt warm as I gazed at my wife and both sisters together hugging and laughing. The three most important ladies of my life.

"Come on guys! We are already running late! It takes twelve hours approx to reach Udaipur and we haven't even began! Hurry up!"

All of us shaked our head at Ruhi's order as she is always the one to panic and take unnecessary tension. Anyways,we all started sitting in the car and even I moved ahead to do the same when I heard Ahana's voice halting my steps.

"Randhir?"

I turned to see her a bit hesitant as she handed me my jacket saying

"It's cold! You should wear this!"

Though my heart did summersaults at her care,I kept a blank face taking the jacket and wearing it. Without saying anything I started walking which made her bite her lips looking down. Sid decided to drive the car and Ruhi took the passenger seat. Behind them Adith, Swara and choti occupied the place so I sat on the last seat beside Anshu. It was a eight seater car so we were quite comfortable. Soon enough I saw Ahana coming and figuring out were to sit. Out of nowhere,Anshu stepped down telling her to go in which she did. So now I was at her left side,Anshu in right while Ahana in the middle. Soon enough we hit the roads of Mumbai and even though it was early morning, the traffic wasn't any different. They don't exaggerate when they say that Mumbai never sleeps. No matter what time it is, the hustle bustle never stops.

"Where's your jacket?"

Ahana got startled for a second at my sudden question and whipped her head at my direction in lightning speed and big eyes. If it would've been some other time,I would've smiled at her cuteness but not now.

"Umm...I don't think I need it. Anyways I don't feel cold!"

"You are not feeling cold right now but what about after sometime? Atleast you should've kept it with you just in case!"

She gulped lowering her gaze and fidgeting with her fingers probably sensing my anger which made me close my eyes to compose myself. After that I didn't talked with her at all but felt her looking at me quite a few times making my stomach churn.

"Guys! I am going to get some sleep! Bohot neend aa rhi hai! But please wake me up after sometime as we all will eat breakfast at some nice place! I didn't had anything while coming in the morning other than chai!'

Ruhi exclaimed trying to control her yawn when Sid said looking at the road time to time

"I told you to have something filling but aap madam ke nakhre hi nhi khatam hote!"

"Sid please! I am not in the mood to hear your lecture now! Good night!"
She pouted and closed her eyes making us chuckle when Ahana said

"Umm... Ruhi! I've made some cheese toast sandwiches. If you want...!"

"I want it!"
Everyone except Ruhi and I shouted together making Ahana scared while they laughed. Ahana smiled shaking her head and removed a tiffin box kind of thing from her hand bag and gave sandwiches to everyone.

"No thanks! I am fine!"

I declined politely as she forwarded one to me looking ahead but from my peripheral vision,I saw her sighing keeping the box back in her bag while I frowned as she didn't took one.

"You didn't had anything too right? So why aren't you eating that?"

I asked though I tried not to and her reply was
"Well,I can ask the same to you!"
To which I didn't said anything.

"Aap mujhse gussa hai na toh khane pe kyu nikal rahe hai?"
She whispered slowly with moist eyes which were filled with regret and pain but I chose to ignore looking away. I fisted my palm as I remembered her words from yesterday. I know she speaks rubbish when angry and tries to win the argument anyhow but this time she hurt me deeply by doubting my loyalty and love for her. I closed my eyes not wanting to think about it right now as it just breaks me too much. Sighing I looked back at her who had her head down totally spaced out. I removed a sandwich from her bag taking a bite which surprised her but I ate without saying anything. She smiled a little and had her sandwich too. After our mini breakfast session everyone dozed off except Sid,Ahana and I. I took my phone out to check some emails and was lost in it but I came out of it feeling a wait on my shoulder.

I looked beside to see Ahana deep in sleep on my shoulder with her hands wrapped around my arm. I kept my phone back in my pocket and removed her hands from me which made her frown in sleep but I pulled her closer with her head on my chest and my hand behind her back. This made her sigh and snuggle in me more finding my warmth. I kissed her head breathing her scent with closed eyes thinking only if we wouldn't have gotten in an argument and only if she wouldn't have said that things to me,all this would have been so different. We could've actually been happy instead of pretending.

I came out of my thoughts looking down at her serene face with a light smile. I saw as she presses herself in me more fisting my shirt in her hand and I notice the goosebumps on her skin which indicated that she is feeling cold. I told Sid to turn the air conditioner off and pulled her more in me closing my own eyes.

"Randhir! Randhir wake up!"

I frowned feeling a nudge on my shoulder and opened my eyes fighting the sleep back and looked at my left to see Ruhi. She smiled at me and whispered

"Get up and wake Ahana too! We have stopped at McDonald's to eat something! So come fast!"
Saying so,she left and that's when I noticed that everyone already left the car except me and Ahana. I looked down to see her sleeping peacefully, with hands still clutching my shirt in her grip tightly. I removed her hair away from her face caressing her cheeks.

"Ahana!"
I called softly but of course it didn't left any affect on her as she didn't even moved a bit. I sighed roaming my fingers in her hair which only made her snuggle in me like a baby.

"Ahana wake up!"

I said this time a little louder. She groaned keeping her face in my neck which sent shivers down my spine and my hold tightened on her waist as it was getting difficult for me to control my emotions. I gulped,feeling her hot breath falling on my neck and I tried being in control.

"Ahana! Everyone's waiting for us! Come on get up!"
She made a crying sound and left me shocked by sitting on my lap sideways wrapping her hand around my neck muttering

"Noooo! Randhir please I don't wanna get up! You're sooo warm!"
I surpassed the threatening smile hearing her cute tone but I smirked mischievously saying in a husky voice

"Well I don't have any problem being in this position but I don't think it will be ideal if I loose control and take you here itself!"

This seems to work as the next second,she jumped away from me sitting properly on her seat with red face and lowered eyes. I smiled lightly and said

"We've stopped at McDonald's as everyone wanted to eat something so come,let's go!"
I opened my door coming out and forwarded my hand for which she took hesitantly but when I didn't left her hand even after she came down, made her look at me lovingly to which I said

"Just doing it so that they don't get suspicious about us! Having them know about our differences is the last thing I want so act along!"
Her smile faltered with a flash of hurt in her eyes which made me curse myself mentally but I kept my blank face intact and hear her say chuckling sadly

"I really did messed up everything between us that you can't even stand my touch anymore! But I don't want you to do something against your wish as I am sure no one will notice us keenly so you don't have to pretend!"
She removed her hand from my hold walking ahead leaving me in a pool of guilt. Though I didn't wanted to hurt her but I did unintentionally. I cursed under my breath, following her and finally we all had our breakfast or more like brunch. After that,we again started our journey talking here and there and playing some games. After Sid,I took the driver's seat while Ruhi took my place and Sid on the passenger side. We didn't took much break after that and drove continuesly. It was late in the evening when we decided to have our dinner so we stopped at a dhaba which we found first and got off to fill our stomach. I frowned seeing Ahana fidgeting with her fingers which made me ask her

"Are you okay?"

"Ummm...I actually want to go to the washroom?"

She replied feebly and I nodded. I took her hand excusing from everyone making my way to the back of the dhaba were I located a public toilet and took her there.

"Arre madam aap kaho toh hum bhi andar chale!"
A creep commented who probably was drunk which made Ahana still while I fisted my palm landing a punch right across his face making blood ooze out of his nose.

"She is my wife you bastard!"
I shouted seething in anger

"Randhir! Randhir leave him!"
Ahana came panicked to me as she tried removing my death grip from his neck. I pushed him harshly while he ran away stumbling on his feet to save his life.

"What the hell is wrong with you? What was the need to beat him? Aap ko kahi lag jaati toh? Woh waise bhi nashe mein tha..."
Ahana shouted at me which angered me more as I replied in a equally loud voice cutting her off

"What was the need? Seriously you are asking me this? I don't know what is wrong with you! Jo bhi mein karta hu tumhe galat hi lagta hai. Infact even if I do nothing still you tend to think wrong. Jaise you thought ki I am sleeping with..."

I stopped abruptly not able to say ahead and felt my heart pain. Ahana looked down hiding her tears while I said ahead in a cold voice.

"I loved you with my everything Ahana! I bared my soul to you still you pointed a finger on my loyalty. Your words from yesterday forced me to think if we should even be together because clearly you don't trust me enough!"
Hearing this, Ahana looked at me unbelievably with tears streaming down her face. My fingers itched to wipe her tears away and take her in my arms but my broken heart and ego didn't allow me to.

"Ran... Randhir please... don't do this with me... please I beg you... don't leave me...I won't be able to bear that pain! If...if you want,slap me. Scold me do whatever you want but please... don't leave me... Randhir...I would die!
She cried hiccuping and took hold of my shirt tightly while I cupped her face with moist eyes myself

"I won't Ahana! As messed up as it sounds,I would rather get hurt by you thousands of time but I would never leave you. This heart is stupid and selfish enough to not let you go but at the same time, the pain you caused is too hard to ignore Ahana! When I heard those words from you yesterday,I could feel myself breaking!"

"Randhir...I am sorry! I was so stupid to even say something like that to you and I know just a sorry won't do anything!"

She whispered defeated and exhausted looking at me while I sighed closing my eyes and prepared myself to say the words which I was gathering the courage to say from quite some time.

"We need a break Ahana!"

She looked hurt and shocked by my words all at the same time and her hold loosen from me. I gulped not meeting her eyes as it was not easy for me too but it was best for the both of us right now.
