Despite this, she is betrothed to her father's best friend's son, Yuvraaj, who knows nothing but to get under her skin.

Now, she has successfully involved herself in a relationship and Yuvraaj has chosen the exact moment to turn her world upside down. From persuasion to rebellion, all the measures have been plied. Finally, headstrong and ball breaking Anahita decides to elope on the eve of her wedding. Except, her boyfriend never turns up.

Five Weeks

Anahita slumped down on the bed, hiding her face in her palms and sobbed. She wasn't angry on Yuvraaj, she was furious on herself. This was the second time, she had become vulnerable before him and that proved that she had a hold on her. Though it wasn't something that she could control but her weakness was taking a toll on her. She knew it.

Her heart was heavy as well because she felt like cheating on Mukund. So what if he is not around? So what if he couldn't see what she is doing? So what if she hated for now for yelling on her? It didn't give her the credit to cheat on him.

With her very own husband. Her subconscious reminded her.

What bothered her so much was that Anahita was not feeling anything wrong. She wanted to force herself to feel wrong the thought had something pulling inside her. It was unwelcoming.
