There was a hubbub at Malhotra mansion as it was the reception party of 'Abhimanyu Malhotra and Shivani Malhotra'. Business partners, investers and their close friends were invited offcourse along with media🎥.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the party with light music the background✨.

"Abhi bhai hume toh bhool hi gya tu", Varun, his friend said while slapping his back.

"Yaad hi kaha rakha jo bhulunga🙂", faked smiled Abhimanyu.

"Saale aaj bhi teri mazak karne ki adaat nahi gayi🤭", laughed his another friend, Gaurav.

While they were chit-chatting somebody closed Abhi's eyes with his hands.

"Jaiii😃!!", Abhimanyu smiled while touching his hands.

Removing his hands Abhimanyu turned and pulled him in a hug🤗.

"Atlast shaadi kar hi li tune😆", Jai said while breaking the hug.

"Left with no other option! But you didn't attended my wedding!!", Abhi complaint.

"I am sorry bro!! You know I was helpless and it was urgent to sign the deal. That could only be done by going London that's why..", Jai said with a sad smile.

"It's fine Jai. I know work first☺️", Abhimanyu said while side hugging him.

"Waise Abhi manna padega tujhe akhir Shivani se shaadi ho hi gayi teri!!", Gaurav said while sipping the juice.

"Hii", came a voice.

All of them turned to the source of voice to find Shivani standing there looking extremely breathtaking🥰✨.

"Hi Shivani😊", greeted Gaurav and Varun.

Jai hugged her and she reciprocated the hug with a smile.

"Heyyy Jai!! How are you!?", she asked breaking the hug.

"Handsome as always😎", he replied making her giggle🤭.

"By marrying him you broke my heart🙎🏻💔", Varun acted by wiping his fake tears.

"Ohh she is expert in that!! Right Shivani😏!?", he said while looking at her.

"Excuse me!!", saying this she left from there.

They continued their talks and relived the memories. Abhimanyu felt a gaze on him and lifted his eyes to see Jai staring him with little irritated expression🙄.

Excusing all he took Jai to a silent place.

"What happened Jai!?", Abhimanyu concerned.

"What happened Abhi!!?", Jai mirrored back his question.

Rolling his eyes Abhi said,
"You want to say something!?"

"Will you listen🙃!!?"

"Hmm"

"Why are you behaving like that with Shivani!?"

Abhimanyu quickly glanced at him hearing his statement.

"Like what!?"

"Don't you dare to pretend Abhi!!! You very well know what I am talking about😠", Jai warned him pointing his finger at him.

"She deserves that😒!!!", Abhimanyu answered while back facing him.

"Ohh really!!! And may I know Mr.Malhotra what crime she did that she deserves this behaviour🤨!!", Jai questioned.

"You know very well Jai--"

"Yes I know very well that's why I am saying stop it Abhi!! She was not at fault. She was right at that time, you were a fool infact you still are beacause you are hurting her", said Jai in a loud tone.

"Ohh am I hurting her!! Then what she did years back Jai!! She did the same. She hurted me, played with my feelings", Abhi ruffled his hair.

"And you are taking revenge by doing the same. Is it Abhi!?? Have you ever tried to hear her point of view? Have you ever asked her what was the matter? No!!!! Because your damn anger and your ego is much bigger😞😑", confronted Jai.

"I ..I tried to ask her", fumbled Abhimanyu.

"What!?"

"About her brother and she shouted at me telling me to stay away from her life"

"She repeated your words then what's the problem", sadly smiled Jai.

Abhimanyu looked at him with 'How do you know' look.

"Bachpan se jaanta hai tujhe aur usse bhi💖!! She is not like that to say something like this, you must have said something first", Jai explained him.

"I don't want to talk about it😶", Abhimanyu said while dropping the conversation.

"Kab tak bhagega Abhi! Sach se aur apni feelings se!!", Jai uttered while looking at him going inside.

Shivani was standing lonely remembering Abhi's words. Her eyes glisten with tears suddenly she felt someone back hugged her.

"Tanu", she said.

"Shiviiii💖", Tanu said while breaking the hug and turning her.

"How are y--", she stopped when she noticed her moistened eyes.

"Heyy heyyy what happened Shivi", Tanu asked while wiping the drops that fell on her cheeks.

"Yeah I am good!! Just got emotinal after meeting you✨", fake smiled Shivani.

"Stop lying Shivani😑!!", Tanu said in a stern tone.

Not wanting to break down in front of everyone she assured her with eyes to tell her afterwards.

*
Next day Abhimanyu left for office without uttering a single word to Shivani.

"Mumma it's have been quite a long I spent with Tanu!! Can I go to--", Shivani got interrupted.

"Beta you don't need permission for anything. You can do whatever you want without any hesitation! Ok😊!?", Shweta said while caressing her cheeks.

Shivani smiled hugging her and bid her bye.

*

She was welcomed with a bone crushing hug by Tanu.

"Shiviii I missed you🥰!!", Tanu broke the hug.

"But Tanu we met yesterday only🤭", Shivani giggled.

"But still!!!! It was such a bore yaar... We couldn't spend our time na🙁!!", Tanu explained.

"Okay mam okay samajh gayi", Shivani said.

"Shivani darlinggg", came Tanu's mom, Aparna.

"Auntyyyy!! How are you?", Shivani hugged her.

"I am good sweetheart. What about you? How are your in-laws? And yeah how is Abhimanyu😃?", said Aparna in one breathe excitedly.

"Relax relax!! Everyone is fine", Shivani said with a smile.

"Good!! Okay now I will not invade your 'BFF' time. Have fun!!!", saying this she left from there.

Tanu took her to her room and they settled on bed comfortably.

"Now tell why were you crying", Tanu asked while holding her hand.

Getting no response from her he herself guessed,
"Abhimanyu said something🤨?"

Shivani's silence answered Tanu's question.

"That man is not changed!!! Tell me what shit he uttered?", Tanu huffed in anger.

"Leave na Tanu!! It's not a big de--", Shivani tried to explain her.

"Really Shivi it's not a big deal!! That man hurts you makes you cry and you it's not a big deal. You may pretend to be strong Shivani but I can't see like this. I have seen your worst condition and it breaks my heart. Only I know how much you have cried and how much have you suffered. Learn to speak Shivi!!! Don't let others hurt you with their words or actions!! Stop bearing🙏!!!", Tanu tried to put some sense in her.

"I--I am fine", Shivani said cooing her down.

"Stop that!!! Don't you dare to act 'Fine' in front of me. Tum kitna hi dikha lo Shivani I know how much pain you are carrying. Har baar ye dikhawa kyun karti ho!!? Just blurt out your pain. Batao kya problem hai!! But nahi tum toh bahut strong ho na sab theek kar dogi oh yeah what you say 'Sab theek ho jaayega'!!! It will not be okay until you keep quiet and bear all this. 'It's not fine to say I am fine everytime'. Understand this😠🤷🏻‍♀️!!", Tanu scolded her in anger.

"Relax!! Tanushka I know you love and care for me more than my family!! But Tanu its fate we can't do anything", Shivani explained her.

"Sometimes you need to put some efforts to change your fate Shivani!! Leaving everything on time and accepting it as our Fate is not acceptable all the time", Tanu sighed.

"Okay mam😁!!!" Shivani giggled in a childish tone while Tanu glared her.

"I am not joking Shivani. It's okay I know you need some time to adjust the changes but remember I am Always there for you!!! Kuch bhi kabhi bhi share karna ho I am just a call away! Okay!?", Tanu said her.

"Okay okay😚", Shivani smiled.

"Waise you remember the first time you met us", Tanu smiled.

Standing near the window with the support of wall she got lost when she first met them.
