Few days have passed since their little conversation. Aarav was restless. He thought he might have over done things. He shouldn't have talked about all that. But how many days are they going to roam about as wedded couple yet with no relation?

While Hritika busied herself in files. She went to office early morning and came home late. Sean was worried about her. He wanted to ask her about it but Hritika wasn't ready to talk. She felt terrible. But today, Sean has had enough and was determined to talk to her.

It was 1 am, Hritika walked through the stairs to her room.

"Hritika?" Sean said. Hritika knew it was something serious for he only calls her by her name in gravely situations.

She turned his way "yes..?"

"What is up with you?" He asked.

Hritika sighed "nothing..."

"I expect the truth tonight"

"That is the truth! I'm fucking fine!" Hritika almost shouted.

"Okay okay, calm down.. go freshen up, I'll get your dinner.." Sean said before heading downstairs.

Hritika huffed. She felt guilty of shouting at him when he asked nothing but if she was okay.

She took a long bath before changing into her night clothes.

She headed down for dinner and saw Sean was having a hard time staying up at this hour.

"Thanks.." Hritika said as she sat, serving herself.

"Anytime.." Sean said.

"I'm sorry, Sean.. it's just I had a conversation with Aarav a few days back..at his parents' house, and it kinda messed my mind up.." she said pouring herself water.

"I understand.. that's why I wanted to talk about it.." Sean said as Hritika nodded slightly.

"What did he say?" Sean asked, worried.

"We just talked....and I kinda realised how immature and naïve I was leaving without settling things down.." Hritika let out a defeated sigh.

"You can't change it now, Angel. All you can do is discard the bad blood between you two. He was a dick, but I guess he deserves forgiveness... doesn't he, angel?" Sean softly said.

"Hmm...but there's so much thickness in the air when we talk that it suffocates me.. it was never like this.. it pains me we talk this way..." Hritika blinked away the tears which were about to fall.

Hritika continued "He was trying so hard you know...and he looked so tired..he had puffy eyes and his disheveled state.." Hritika looked away.

Sean put a his hand on hers, as a symbol of his support.

"I know it's hard.. but you're brave, Angel! Just sort this out..." Sean suggested. "Will you?"

"I will.. I'll talk to him about it.." Hritika smiled.

She put the plate in the sink while she handed him a chocolate Box.

"What's this for?" Sean asked.

"Happy friendship anniversary, dumbass! It's past 12!"

"Women and their obsession with anniversaries!" Sean rolled his eyes as he pulled Hritika into a hug.

Hritika was busy in checking a critical patient. She was engrossed in her work while her PA came to her "ma'am, there is a woman crying hysterically and she says she wants to meet you about her pregnancy..or something.."

"Take her to gynaecology department, Sweta! And don't disturb me for now."

She continued examining the patient. He was a old man. "How many more days here, doctor?" He asked with his ever-glowing witty smile.

"Mr. Chatterjee, you didn't follow the diet, did you? Otherwise this won't repeat itself.. now this valve you see" she showed him a diagram "is kind of damaged, and it can restrict the flow of blood, thus causing your problems.."

His face fall, he said "What about the surgery?"

"I've already told you, for this surgery you can't consume alcohol for 2 months. And the reports clearly shows you had alcoholic beverages a lot past few days.. But! But, since we can't wait anymore, I think we have to perform the surgery the other way.." she explained the strategy to him. He looked satisfied and calm.

It took her a few hours to pack up. She switched on her phone. It revealed a few calls she has missed.

4 missed calls from Sid.
1 missed call from Dumbo.
2 missed calls from Dr. Mohan.

"4 missed calls? What's wrong?" She mumbled as she dialled Siddharth's number.

On the third ring he received "Hello? Bhaabi? Are you busy?"

"Nope! What's up?"

"Bhaabi, remember I told you about Namrata? Well... I kinda am proposing her today..... Would you please come?" Siddharth pleaded.

"Um.. yeah.. sure?" It came out more like a question for she wasn't sure what she'd do there? Like he was proposing his girlfriend.

"Okay! Then today eve 6pm! I'll send you the location.."

Hritika got down her black Bugatti La Voiture Noire. She was wearing a white thigh reaching dress making her look hot and cute at the same time.

The place was lit up with lights and smelled of daisies. She walked farther to notice a yacht totally screaming grandeur.

She smiled as she noticed Siddharth.

"Bhaabi, you're looking so good that I might change my mind and propose you instead!" Siddharth laughed.

Hritika playfully hit his arm "Bhai stop your teases! Aren't you nervous? I'm so nervous I didn't even wear something to match with the grandeur you've set up for your queen!"

They proceeded to walk towards the yacht as they chatted and laughed.

"Where's 'the' sister in law!?" Hritika squealed in excitement.

Suddenly a gorgeous cute lady was noticed standing by the deck with Aarav.

Wait Aarav? 'Why's he here?' thought Hritika, suddenly getting very conscious.

"Namrata!" Siddharth called and she turned towards them flashing a wide smile. She walked towards them.

"Well, she is 'the' Hritika Kapoor Malhotra!! Bhaabi ji!" Siddharth let out a small laugh.

Hritika whispered into Siddharth's ear "does she know you're about to propose her?"

Siddharth whispered back "no! Duh."

Hritika hugged Namrata softly and smiled "Hey Namrata!"

"Hiii! I can't help but tell you that I'm a huge fan!!" Namrata squealed like a child.

Hritika laughed "oh my! You're my sister in- I mean you're like my sister!!" She nervously chuckled and Namrata hugged her again.

She and Namrata were talking while she felt a heated gaze on her. Through her peripheral vision, she noticed it's Aarav standing there with his eyes locked at her direction.

Suddenly Siddharth called Hritika. She sighed in relief as she walked away from there.

"Bhaabi, what to do now!?" Siddharth almost said jumping.

"Um.. where is the ring??" Hritika asked.

"Here." It was a gorgeous diamond with surrounded with lapiz lazuli.

"Got a good choice huh?" Hritika had a proud smile on her face. "Go there, and say it! Nothing matters, only your love for her does!" Hritika said.

Siddharth nodded as he walked out with Hritika following him.

Siddharth walked up the place stopping by Namrata. He looked towards Aarav who was smiling at them. Then he looked into Namrata's eyes "see, I'm sorry if this is not the way they do it, but here it goes." He said confusing Namrata.

He went on his knees."Namrata, will you marry me?" Namrata was shocked. And Hritika was dying of nervousness.

Hritika almost cried out "say yes! say yes!"

Siddharth asked again "Namrata, say something.."

Namrata hugged him tightly and squealed out of happiness. "Yes!! Ofcourse, I'll marry you! I love you!!"

Siddharth screamed with joy "I love you too!!! I Love you so much!!"

Hritika felt so elated that her eyes glistened and the huge smile never left her pink plum lips.

Her gaze drifted towards Aarav who, too, looked at her. Both thinking 'wish those I love yous still existed'.
