Muhan's stupid question

Austin said "Let's go" and added "Leave the luggage behind, Clifton will take care of that" with an attitude

Austin asked Clifton, to throw those clothes which she wore before.

The moment she entered, she was astonished by the flat which they were going to stay in for a few days, it's opposite to the one she took bath. It's a duplex flat with two rooms on the ground floor and three rooms on the first floor. The spacious hall is filled with luxurious furniture. The glass and curved staircase added more luxury to the house; she exclaimed with astonishment "Wow, it's really nice"

I never thought she will like this, if I have known earlier I shouldn't have let anyone enter here, hmph.

As soon as she entered, Muhan came to her and asked with anxious "What the hell did you do up to now? And why did you changed your clothes?" asked observing her from tip to toe

Saanvi hesitated a bit to answer his question, why her clothes are changed and said looking at Austin "It's-it's nothing, I just-t tripped, so my clothes became wet and I had to change them" said giving a bright smile to him

"Hahaha you dummy, you not at all changed over these years" Muhan laughed looking at her clumsiness and he added "Let's go and have dinner I'm starving to death"

Zhang asked stopping her "How are you?" with an embarrassing tone because it's been a while he didn't get the chance to speak with her after the wedding, he's been feeling guilty, he told her, he will be there whenever she is in trouble, whenever she is in a bad mood, but, what he never thought or expected was it was he, who will make her feel bad for not supporting her and not standing behind her to give strength as her brother while she was in big trouble, it was he, who left her.

She just gave a fake smile and said "I'm fine, vice president Zhang"

"Saanvi that, actually..." he wants to say something but she interrupted him and said "Vice president Zhang, I'm really fine, I'm starving right now, let's go and have dinner" she left to speak with Maggie

Riya came to Zhang and asked looking at his disappointed face "Did she talk with you?"

"She used to call me brother, now" he turned towards Riya feeling helpless; he actually thought Saanvi was his family but now it felt like she is hurt.

"Don't worry, I even felt guilty for not standing her side where she is innocent" she said holding his hand and added "Let's go"

At the dining area...

Saanvi, Maggie, and Muhan were sitting at one side and the other three on the opposite side. Saanvi was in between Muhan and Maggie giggling continuously and talking with them happily.

I wish the time could stop here; Austin set his eyes on her completely.

Muhan asked suddenly remembering something "Saanvi"

"Huh?" She turned towards him with a bright smile

"Did your husband agreed to this project?" her smile faded immediately and Muhan added, "I mean..." Maggie immediately interrupted him looking at Saanvi's about to cry face "Muhan, let's eat first"

"C'mon, it takes too long at least, one month" "Is that okay for him?" he completed his question while munching his food

Austin's heart began to race, he doesn't know, how she will react? It took one week to see her bright smile, he warned everyone around her not to mention the word 'Marriage' in front of Saanvi, but he never thought someone will directly ask about her husband in front of him.

Saanvi turned towards Austin with her dejected eyes and said "He doesn't love me anymore"

"What?" Muhan couldn't understand why she was saying that, Denis and Sophia already told him she was an apple to her husband's eyes, then, why is she saying he doesn't love her?

"Saanvi" Austin called her name unknowingly as he wants to explain things to her

Saanvi swept her gaze away from Austin and said slamming the table "Muhan, let's not bring this topic anymore" and said leaving the table "I lost my appetite, good night everyone"

"Saanvi, wait" Muhan got up immediately to follow her, she said with a pretending smile turning towards him "Muhan, please don't follow me"

Muhan slammed his head saying with a bit worried expression "Did I mess up?"

Maggie who knew how Saanvi felt after the marriage, told Muhan "Muhan, not bring this topic in front of Saanvi anymore" and she added looking down "Because I saw with my own eyes how she used to cry under the blanket, every night"

Every word is like a thorn to Austin's heart, the more he doesn't want to hurt her the more she was being hurt.

No one is in the mood to have dinner, everyone left one after the other, and Muhan felt guilt for bringing the topic and went out to have fresh air.

Maggie told to Austin who is waiting outside Saanvi's door, he doesn't have the courage to look into her teary eyes "Let me go and check on her"

"Hmm..." he just nodded

Maggie opened the door just to see the pitch dark room she called her name "Saanvi"

She was about to turn the lights "Don't turn on the lights" Saanvi said

Maggie found Saanvi sitting on the floor beside her bed staring at the window.

"Saanvi are you crying?" Maggie was concerned about Saanvi

"No, Maggie" Austin who was standing and listening at the door had a sigh of relief

Her voice doesn't have any emotions it's felt like she gave up on everything, it's the same tone she talked about when she was about to jump from the bridge.

Austin felt she was done something to herself and started walking towards but stopped his track listening to her words "When I left Bacon I felt I am not gonna have anyone in my heart" she placed her head on Maggie's shoulder and continued "But now my heart doesn't want anyone except Austin" she burst into tears and said Maggie "Whenever I talk with him, I feel like, nothing changed between us but sometimes I feel like, we never met"
