Dhriti had noticed him wearing the brooch that she had given him. 'Why was wearing the brooch gifted by her when he wanted to end their relationship'.

The bidaai was going on and Pranati was crying hugging her parents. She hugged her brothers and Dhriti's eyes went to Utkarsh who held Pranati in his arms protectively.

"Dhyaan rakhna iska please."

(Please take care of her.)

He asked Sahil in a vulnerable voice. Dhriti kept looking at him with a sad smile. Her eyes widened when she suddenly realised something. She looked at Sahil and Pranati and then back at Utkarsh.

She realised his reason for the sudden breakup and glared at him. Was he really that stupid. She was very angry at him. How can he be such an idiot.

**************************************

It was Pranati's Pag Phera rasam today and they were going to bring her back home.

Dhriti got ready. She had decided to talk to him and give him a piece of mind he seemed to have lost.

They drove off to his home. Dhriti greeted his parents but he was not in sight.

Just as she was about to sit her phone rang. It was a call from one of her fellow interns.

She excused herself and moved towards a room. After finishing her call she started going back when she realised that she had accidentally entered his room.

She started admiring his pictures on the wall. She turned around hearing the opening of a door.

There he was. And it looked like he had just taken a shower.

She glared at him. He looked away and cleared his throat.

"Kuch chahiye tha aapko?"

(Dis you want something?)

She raised her eyebrows at his way of addressing her. Smiling sweetly she said.

"Jee. Kuch baat krni thi aapse."

(Yes. I wanted to talk to you.)

He didn't say anything but nodded his head and she felt like smashing his head on the wall.

"Reason chahiye mujhe. Kya reason hai iss sudden breakup ka?"

(I want reason. What is the reason of this sudden breakup?)

He looked at her for a moment and then looked away again.

"Bataya tha na. Koi aur pasand aa gyi."

(I told you. I like someone else.)

He said nervously. She chuckled.

"And you want me to believe that. Seriously Utkarsh. I know very well."

He didn't say anything and just kept looking away. She took slow steps towards him gaining his attention. They shared an eyelock. She stopped just at an inches distance from him.

"Breakup chahte hai aap. Dekh paayenge mujhe kisi aur ke saath. As someone else's wife."

(You want breakup. Will you be able to see me with someone else.)

He closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He did not want to visualise the scene. He could not.

He opened his eyes but kept quiet. She fisted his collar and pulled him towards her. Their faces just inches away.

"Listen to me well Mr. Utkarsh Sharma. I am not your girlfriend jo aap mujhse breakup karenge. I am your wife and in order to separate from me you will have to divorce me. And there is no way i am doing that. Samjhe aap."

(That you can breakup. Do you understand.)

He smiled at the way she addressed herself as his wife. She punched his stomach and he grumbled.

"Ouchh!"

"Don't you dare smile now. Mujhe reason nhi bataya hai aapne abhi tak."

(You didn't tell me the reason yet.)

And now it seemed like he really was stupid to think everything he had been thinking.

"Umm-wo kuch nhi. I am sorry."

(Nothing.)

"Not accepted. Pehle mujhe reason bataiye."

(I want the reason first.)

He sighed and said the next words lowly as if ashamed of himself.

"Wo mujhe laga ki agar tumhari family ko hamare baare mai pata chal gaya aur unhe ye achha nhi laga toh kahi uska effect Pranati par na pade. Ouchh!"

(I thought that if your family gets to knoq about us and they are not happy then it would affect Pranati.)

She punched him again.

"Samajhte kya hai aap mujhe aur mere ghar waalo ko. Hum hitler dikhte hai aapko jo bhabhi ko torture karenge."

(What do you think of me and my family. Are we Hitler that we would torture bhabhi.)

She said a little hurt by his words. He hugged her tight and muttered sorrys again and again.

"Aisa nhi hai. I am sorry. Pagal ho gaya tha shayad mai. Please forgive me."

(Its not like that. I was mad.)

She pulled back.

"Not accepted. Mai abhi bhi naaraz hu aapse. Bhut rulaaya hai aapne mujhe."

(I am still upset. You made me cry a lot.)

"I know and i am sorry. Batao kya karu?"

(Tell me what to do?)

She folded her arms.

"Manaiye mujhe."

(Persuade me.)

She said and left from there. He chuckled and thanked God for not letting her give up on him.

After having dinner the Singhanias left with Pranati. Utkarsh was in his room now thinking how to manofy his wife.

He was leaving for Bangalore two days later. That means he only had tomorrow's day to pacify her. He started thinking of what to do.

**************************************

Dhriti was in her college when she received his message.

Meet me here.

She smiled at the message. She had forgiven him but wanted to see what he can do to pacify her.

She went back home and quickly changed her clothes. Telling her parents that she was going with Tanvi she left for the place he had told.

She reached there at 7:05. The place was pitch dark. She was about to call him when she heard a light being switched on. There was just one heart shaped balloon that was visible.

She went near it. The balloon read 'Pop Me'. She took a pin from her clutch and burst the balloon. A note fell out of it.

I know i have hurt you and I don't have any idea explaination for it. You deserve someone much better who would not think about giving up on you.

Dhriti was confused after reading it. Was he actually trying to get rid of her. What is this supposed to mean. Thousands of thoughts were running into her mind.

Before she could do something she heard another sound. Another light was switched on and a similar balloon came into sight.

There was another note.

But guess what? I don't care because you Mrs. Dhriti Sharma are now stuck with me forever. And i am never letting you go anywhere.

She smiled at that. So this is how he had decided to pacify her. She liked it. Smiling cheekily she looked around for him when another balloon came in sight.
