Abhira was roaming here and there in Armaan's room.....Armaan had been in Delhi for a week and now that he was coming back,Abhira was nervous......Armaan had called her ahead and told her that he wanted to talk to her....Abhira knew what he wanted to talk about....But she was hesitant....Talking about it meant that their relationship changes and she liked the relationship they had.....Abhira still remembered that night.....It was right after holi,one thing had led to another and they had slept with each other.......What Abhira couldnot understand was that they were not even drunk,not on bhaag or anything else....How did they end up sleeping with each other.....After that day immediately Abhira had took the pill.....But she avoided Armaan like a plague......She knew that he would have want to talk about their relationship but she didnt....It was just a mistake,she had kept telling herself but was it......She couldnot even bring herself to complete the sentence and call it a mistake.......Abhira glanced at the clock,Armaan was on the way he had messaged her a hour ago.....She suddenly couldnot breathe....They had three months in their contract marriage left,how could she make such a stupid mistake....She went towards the washroom to take a shower,a cold shower would calm her down......
Armaan entered the house,his eyes only searched for his wife....On asking Vidya she told him that Abhira was in her room studying.....Ruhi who was eagerly waiting to meet Armaan was left startled when he bypassed her and went upstairs to meet his wife.....Armaan had been waiting for this discussion since that night but Abhira had been avoiding it like plague,she had been avoiding him.....He wanted to talk to her about it.....He wanted to talk to her about their relationship.....He wanted this marriage not just for 3 months but forever......He had been in love with her...When he reached their room,he saw Abhira trying to dry her hair....He smiled seeing her after a week.....But would Abhira be ready to keep this marriage....Did she even love him ? Armaan kept the room door ajar and forgot to close it.....Abhira saw Armaan smiling at her through mirror....She felt butterflies in her stomach seeing him smile like that.....Truth to be told,a week without him she had almost been like a zombie.....She didnt know how to function properly.....She had been subjected to merciless teasings by Manisha Chachisa and The Chorus Gang and also her mother-in-law and surprising even one day her grand-mother-law Dadisa......They both just looked at each other probably remembering that night......Armaan knew he would have to be the strong,mature and practical one right here because Abhira had every intention of avoiding this topic....
Armaan (whispering)-Why have you been avoiding me ?
Abhira (nervously)-Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai....Dev sir has been giving me way too much work and I had some pending college assignments....
Armaan (questioning)-For one and a half month ?
Armaan kept walking towards Abhira who kept walking backwards and finally her back hit the wall.....She looked everywhere but not at Armaan,which Armaan caught on.....Today he was not in mood of hide and seek....He wanted to know everything....What was in his wife's mind ?
Armaan (strongly)-Look at me Abhira.....What is going on in your mind ?
Abhira (trying to avoid)-Kiss baare mai ? Kya bol rahe ho tum ?
Armaan (bringing her close by holding her waist)-About that night Abhira Armaan Poddar.....Donot you dare try to avoid that topic or me.....I had enough of it....We are adults and we talk like adults....
Abhira (trying to remove his hand)-Fine....It was a m..is...t...ake.....
Armaan (angrily)-So that night meant nothing to you......Alright say that by looking at me in my eyes Abhira.....(making her look at him)-Tell me....That it was a mistake....
Abhira (angrily)-For godsakes you have a girlfriend Armaan.....Ruhi se pyaar karte ho tum......Aur ye kya tha,do you even know ke ye kya tha....
Armaan (roughly holding her)-Ruhi is nobody.....I am talking about a night which I shared with my wife......Ruhi is my brother's widow and nothing else.... Do you understand ? From henceforth I donot want Ruhi's name in this conversation........And yes mujhe pata hai woh kya tha,for me that night was special because I have fallen for my wife....
(holding her chin and making her look at him)-This night didnt mean anything to you ? You dont love me.......?
Abhira (trying to avoid it again)-Armaan I have lot of work of college.....Please hum iss baare mai baadme baat karege....
Armaan (angrily)-For godsakes Abhira,tum itni badi baat ko itne halke mai kaise le sakti ho.....We slept together....Our relationship is changing and you are trying to avoid it.....You are avoiding having a mature conversation........We are talking tonight and that is final......
(cupping her face)-So it was a mistake ? Aab batao mujhe.....
Abhira (tearfully)-Please Armaan.....
Armaan (as a matter of factly)-No Abhira......Batoa mujhe.....What did that night meant to you ? Was it a mistake than please say it out loud....!!
Abhira (trying to speak,tearfully)-Yes it was a m...i...stake
Armaan (angrily)-Look at me Abhira....Neeche dekh kar nahi......Upar dekh kar bolo.....Mere aankho mai dekho....Just the way we looked into each other's eyes that night.....
Abhira (angrily,tearfully)-Fine.....Yes it was special.....But please you need to understand our circumstances Armaan......Our marraige was not something either one of us wanted....Mai yaha sirf aapni mumma ka sapna poora karne rooki hu....You know that and your past,you have a past with somebody.......Your family was never happy with out marriage.....And we are too different from each other.....Tum jaante ho iss baat ko.....We are not each other's choice......
Armaan (cupping her face)-Ira,Yes ye shaadi hamari marzi se nahi thi but ye hamari marzi baan chuki hai....Tumhara sapna mera sapna baan chuka hai....My past was over the day I got married to you......And as far as family is concerned even dadisa has accepted you now Ira.......We were not each other's choice but we have become each other's choice now......Did you ever wonder how we ended up in bed together.....? Nahi we were drunk na kuch aur.....We have been in love with each other for sometime now.....Our emotions came out that night....Either one of us didnt stop the other.......
Armaan kissed her on the forehead....And hugged her tightly......He whispered a confession into Abhira's ears......Abhira hugged him tightly....He was her everything since her mother passed away......She didnt want to lose him ever.....She knew that after that night,there was no way Armaan would allow her to move after three months....She knew that everything had changed.......
Armaan (confessing)-I love you Ira....
Abhira (tearfully)-I love you too...
Armaan (asking )-Please give us a chance.....New start for both of us and our marriage.....
Abhira (nodding tearfully)-Yes I will....
Suddenly both of them felt like somebody was outside,Armaan had a idea as to who was outside.....he asked Abhira to make a coffe for him and he went outside....He finally needed to have a conversation with Ruhi Rohit Poddar......Enough was enough......He went downstairs to see Ruhi crying and now he knew that it was indeed her that was stadning outside their bedroom....Ruhi turned around and saw Armaan....She tried to go near but Armaan took two step backwards......Ruhi knew she had lost him to Abhira.....She still remembered the morning after that night....While Abhira was trying to avoid Armaan,Armaan had been trying to talk to her.....But Ruhi remembered suddenly that she had seen a mark on Abhira's neck but she had ignored it.......
Ruhi (tearfully)-You slept with Abhira ?
Armaan (laughing)-Whether I sleep with my wife or not Ruhi it is strictly not your bussiness....Ye husband or wife ke beech ka rishta hai.....Aur humare beech hi rahega..Rather in your case ye tumhare Jeth aur Jethani ke beech ki baat hai,you should keep away from it......
Ruhi (tearfully)-Tumhari shaadi sirf 1 saal ki thi Armaan....
Armaan (pointing it out)-Keyword "Thi" ab nahi hai.....I love Abhira....I have loved her since sometime now and Abhira too loves me.......Maine tumse pehle hi kaha tha....Ek saal ki shaadi nahi hoti,we will end up with this marriage together....Marraige doesnot have expiry date.....
Ruhi (trying to explain)-Dadisa usse pasand nahi karti,woh mujhe pasand karti hai......
Armaan (smirking)-Tum dadisa ko jaanti kitna ho Ruhi...Woh Abhira ko pasand karne lagi hai....Aur baki sab toh already usse pasand karte hai......Ruhi you need to leave Poddar House....You need to move on because mai already kab ka kar chuka hu......YOu think tum mujhe manipulate karroge aur mai ho jaoga....? I am a lawyer Ruhi,I have seen people worse than you.....
Ruhi (wiping her tears)-Mai Abhira ko humare baare mai sab kuch bata doogi....
Armaan (smirking)-Usse already sab kuch pata hai......And to save you some troubles dadisa aur Ma ko bhi sab kuch pata hai.......I told them before going to Delhi....
Armaan returned inside after ensuring Ruhi that there was nothing between them anymore.....Armaan also stated that there was already nothing between them since they only had one date and nothing more than that......Abhira who was wokrking on her college assignment got a surprise when Armaan told her that it was Ruhi who was tadning outside their door........Armaan was guilty that his brother left because of Ruhi and him......But Abhira clamed him down stating that he cannot blame himself when Rohit had decided not to ask him anything and just leave........
