That unfortunate
night had widen the gap between Disha and Luv. She had become cold and avoided
him as much she could. On the other hand, he didn’t leave any stones unturned
to get closer to her.
She had
become distant to her close friends and even her aunt. She had stopped visiting
the office. However she did work on the idea and completed in turning it into fabulous
one. Her aunt came to see her niece who was keeping low profile. “ Why are you
not taking my call? I thought something had gone wrong with you. What happened?
Did Luv do something?”, aunt asked. She remained
quiet for some time and then said, “Can I come home with you? Please!”
************
Luv had come
home to see Disha missing. He asked one of his old housekeeper about Disha. He
said that he didn’t know. He called all her friends and to his dismay, she wasn’t
there. Later he called his father in law, “ Hi dad. Is Disha there?” “ Yes son, she is here. Look at my luck! I
wanted to call you for dinner and you called. Good! Come for dinner, son. It’s been
a long time that I have seen you.” Disha’s father said in his deep voice. “
Yes, dad! Why not! I will see you around at 7 in the evening.”, he said with a
relief. Soon after keeping the phone, he realised that he hadn’t asked about
father in law. But it was already late.
“ So this
was it! The usual fight between wife and husband was the reason that had made
her so gloomy. Now I have to bring them together.”Disha’s dad thought.
Luv reached
on time as promised. He had bought bouquet of her favourite flowers with him. He hoped she
would melt after taking them. Disha’s dad greeted him well. Aunt was angry with
him and didn’t even come to greet him. Disha was shell shocked to see him as
she had told her aunt not to tell her dad and also she didn’t want to meet him.
No one spoke
much except Disha’s dad chatting with Luv. During the dinner, the cold war was
brewing. Disha didn’t sit next to Luv. She simply stared at her food. She had
decided that she wouldn’t leave even if he begged.
The dinner
was over. Luv was about to leave after few minutes. “ Let’s go, Disha. It’s already
late. Thanks for the dinner, dad. I will catch up with you later. Tomorrow is
big day for me.” he said.
“ I am not
leaving with you, Luv. I am staying here…forever!” Disha said in a firm tone.
Everyone was dumbstruck with what Disha said. Luv stood staring at her. He didn’t
know what to say or how to react to the situation.
