Four hours
had passed since the incident took place. Everything was weirdly calm by now.
Disha was quiet. She had stopped crying. However the grief had made her heart
heavy. Aunt was more miserable than her. “You haven’t lost anything yet,
darling. But you will if you don’t pull your socks up. You need to get back
what is yours. There is no use crying.”,aunt said.
“ No aunt!
What can I do if he loves her? I can’t force him to be mine. The only way is to
let him free from this relationship.” , Disha said. “ Stop talking nonsense! Don’t
act like those demure bahus of TV
serials! You don’t have to cry when you have me. I will help you to win him
back.” aunt scolded her and hugged her.
Disha knew
that she didn’t have to worry when her aunt was there. She had always been her
pillar of support for everything.
“Listen to
me carefully…” her aunt explained the plan to her. “And remember to pretend as if nothing has
happened or you don’t know anything about his misdeeds.” , she continued. Disha
didn’t reply and simply nodded her head like a child.
Luv had just
finished his dinner. He was busy watching the late news as usual. Disha sat
beside him with some kind of uncomfortable feeling in her heart. She badly
wanted to know everything that occurred during afternoon was true. “Hmmm…how
was your meeting?”she asked at last after fighting against her soul. “As usual good. How was your day? Ohh! You
told me.. you were with your aunt.”, he said. She was bewildered by what he
said. “Did he say this purposely or did he forget to mention about this
afternoon? Why would he discuss the afternoon with her? He met her in secret.”,
she wondered. She couldn’t stand it any longer and headed back to sleep. Nevertheless
she couldn’t sleep.
Next day as
per her aunt’s plan, she visited Luv at his office. He wasn’t in his cabin. She
waited out and looked around. The office was quite huge containing around 500
people. While most of them were working at their desks and there were some who
roamed across the office. “Hi! What a pleasant surprise?” a female voice
distracted her from exploring the place. She turned to look who it was. Alas!
It wasn’t a pleasant surprise for her. It was same woman who Luv had hugged
shamelessly.
“ I am Lisa,
buggy ex roommate cum best buddy of Luv. I have always heard about you from Luv
and trust me I wanted meet you so bad. Christ! I have met you at last.” , she
said in her thick American accent. Disha didn’t reply back. She was star struck
by the beauty standing next to her. No wonder Luv was into her!!
