"What the hell is going on here?" Shravan asked, looking between his wife and grandfather.Tej Maheshwari coloured a bit at the embarrassment of being caught by his grandsons."Nothing," Tej said, waving a hand in a dismissive gesture.Drishti raised an eyebrow and looked at Tej Maheshwari, who glared at her in return."It didn't seem like nothing, Dadu," Sharan said with a frown."Is that a game board?" Shravan asked, pointing at the tea table behind them. He was fascinated by the red colour spreading across his grandfather's cheeks.Was his grandfather playing a board game? And that too with Drishti?"Laala Singh took it out for dusting," Tej Maheshwari said."Now who is the liar?" Drishti mocked."You shut up, girl!""Why were you two fighting?" Shravan asked."Like kids," Shravan heard Siddharth saying, and that's when he noticed Siddharth sprawled across the couch with an amused look on his face."Siddharth, why don't you tell me what's going on here?" Shravan asked, and Siddhart

"My cheeks are hurting with all these smiles," Drishti complained halfway through the reception."The formal party will be over now. After that, only family and friends would be here," Shravan said."How about a photo, guys?" Mithran asked as he walked towards them with Isha, Abhay, and Kiara."You guys are late," Drishti accused as soon as she saw them."Sorry, Drishti. Kiara had an appointment with a doctor in the morning, so we got delayed," Abhay said."Oh, what happened to bhabhi?" Drishti asked in worry."Nothing. Just a light fever," Kiara said."Okay, guys. Stay closer for the photo," the photographer called out.The formal party was over soon, and Anuradha took Drishti with her to introduce her to the other family members.Shravan stepped out into the garden with Mithran and Abhay."You look very happy," Mithran commented, seeing the constant smile on Shravan's face."I am," Shravan said, content with his life."Aww, Shravan is in love," Mithran teased."I don't know, Mithran

"Damn you, Shravan Maheswari. Damn you," Drishti cursed loudly and threw her phone onto the bed after trying to call him for the hundredth time in the last hour.It had been a month since their reception party, and they had been back in Bangalore soon after. Life went back to normal, with her attending college and him going to work. The nights were special, spent in each other's arms, making sweet, passionate love.Everything was going well and smoothly until last week. Her exam dates were announced, and the sweet, cute husband transformed into a tyrannical teacher. As promised, he promptly woke her up at ungodly hours in the morning and demanded that she study for her exams, which were due in a month. He even made a timetable and notes for her to make it easier."When did he make notes for me? I have no idea," she wondered. After a week of misery, he had promised to take her out to dinner tonight to make up for everything, but there was no news of him so far. She had been ready and

Siddharth was messaging Shreya when he felt a presence beside him. He looked up to see Drishti standing there with her hands on her hips. He texted a "brb" to Shreya and focused on Drishti."Why are you looking at me like that?" Siddhu asked."How could you hide such a big thing from me? Such a huge issue was going on at home, and you never mentioned it to me?" Drishti asked as she sat next to him."Even you didn't tell me about yesterday," Siddhu pointed out."You were the one who hid things first," Drishti accused."You too hid things from me," Siddhu argued.They both stared at each other, not willing to give up the fight."Apologise now," Drishti demanded."Like hell I will," Siddhu scoffed."If you didn't hide these things from me, I would have told you what happened last night," Drishti said, making Siddhu sigh."I didn't think it right to share the issues between a couple," Siddhu said."You have a point there," Drishti accented.They both remained silent for a few seconds."I

"Here, my sunscreen too," Drishti said and handed over her sunscreen to Shravan, who was packing their overnight bag."Anything else, Drishti? I am going to close the bag," Shravan said, double-checking the items in the bag."I think I have covered it all. If there is anything missing, we can get it there, right?" Drishti asked."Yeah, let's get going," Shravan said."Yay! Finally! After a month of torture and miseries, I am getting the much-needed break," Drishti said dramatically, and Shravan rolled his eyes.Her exams were over that afternoon, and Shravan suggested a small weekend trip, much to Drishti's excitement. They were going to the SM resort, an hour away from Bangalore city. The last time they planned this trip, it got cancelled as his mother planned a reception party for them.So Shravan, though he had a plan in his mind on taking Drishti for a weekend stay, didn't discuss it with her. He just told her that they are going for a weekend trip after she came back from her exa
