Changes

"Can you go to shopping with me?" Drishti asked with a mischievous smirk.

Aditya and Rhea looked at her with shock. Rhea heard a lot about Drishti and knew she never liked shopping. She was partly a tomboy except loving wearing sarees. Aditya was looking at her suspiciously thinking about her mental stability. Did she again get delusional disorder?

"You are asking for shopping!! Rhea, pinch me." Aditya said sarcastically to make Drishti shake her head. She smacked his head, " I am going to buy a thing for Raunak."

"Raunak!? Why? Is he angry with you?" Rhea found it interesting. She thought it was an apologetical gift.

"Why would he?" She frowned, "He is not angry, duh! It's just I want to buy a gift for him."

"Suddenly why?" Rhea mused.

"It's just he gifted her a lot of books on the wedding night. Maybe she felt she behaved too much bratty or maybe she just didn't like how all the time he needed to sacrifice." Aditya knew Drishti well. She was never unfair to anyone. Maybe being with Raunak, she felt too much rights over him. She felt he would care all of her wishes. And she was true. But she never wanted to overlook his wishes.

"Actually true. Maybe he wanted to gift me any jewellery that I will wear for him. Rajiv bhai said he wanted to buy flower for me. But every time he just brought books thinking I would be more happy." His thoughtful behaviour made her a little guilty. He also had likings and dislikings too. It was her responsibility to take care after those.

"Okay, then...let's go." Rhea stood up and dragged both of them. Drishti went to a flower shop as she heard hydrangea was his favourite flowers. She brought some flowers and a tie for him.

"Seriously Dri? Why didn't you buy any watches? It's a good gift for any man." Rhea huffed.

"Because it's expensive. She doesn't want to spend that much money." Aditya teased her.

"Come on, Adi! He has almost all of the branded watches. If I buy, it will repeat." She was not that miser too. They were exaggerating.

"Then, shopping done?" Rhea wanted to cry. She just went to two shops, one flower shop and one cloth shop. How could one buy even without roaming the whole mall?

"Weren't you so excited? That's how shopping goes with Dri." Aditya whispered to his wife's ear to see a bitter smile.

Drishti understood somehow she was becoming the unwanted third. So clearing her throat, she said, "Guys!! I'm going to meet Deep bhai now. You guys enjoy."

Rhea suddenly blushed with her words. Aditya too. He was not habituated to this kind of teasing. His arranged marriage was never a hot topic in the friend circle. His life was simple. His family went to see a girl. They liked her, he talked with her and gradually started to fall for her. He already told her about his friends and how much he liked them. And most importantly she never felt jealous about Drishti. With the passage of time, they agreed for marriage. It was nothing trhilling like Drishti neither adventurous like Deep. It was just a smile marriage story.

When Drishti left, Aditya suddenly whispered in Rhea's ear, "Let's go for a candle night dinner."

"So you went for shopping?" Deep couldn't believe his eyes. He was still in office as he needed to solve some issues. He never hoped help from Drishti as it was nothing but a dream. She would help only if she understood he needed a break. And moreover she was really too busy all the time.

"Yes. I bought gifts for Raunak." She smiled a little shy. She was never romantic type of person. She even found those things cringy. But Raunak's companion changed her slowly. Now she started liking it, even though a little.

"Got it, girl. You are in love with him." He smirked. Drishti maybe confessed it towards Raunak before. But she never told it by her actions or to her friends.

"Done guessing?" She glared at him. She never liked others to know about her real thought. But she was transparent in front of them.

"Why are you here?" Deep was curious.

"What did you think about Mitali di?" She asked knowing they needed to sort the thing out. Not having a child could never be a solution.

"Dri....it's not that easy. Let her believe in me completely. We are not that intimate yet." He sighed deeply. He knew Mitali needed time. Every intimate move could remind her about her infertility. So it was not that easy.

"You can talk to a doctor and take help from Aditya or Sanjana Di. Mitali Di's problems are psychological too. She's traumatised yet. Let her mind change the set up. Sometimes beliefs become so much powerful." She tried to make him understand. He just couldn't leave it on time.

"I will talk to a doctor soon." He smiled at her. Suddenly she got a call from Mohit. They already reached to Kolkata.

"Bhai, Anand bhai I here." She smiled excitedly.

"My rival came." Deep frowned.

"He's not your rival." Drishti rolled her eyes.

"He's taking my share of love from you." He argued.

"Sinister, huh? Go and find a doctor. Mitali di needs you beside her." She was here to talk about the matter and he was convinced so easily. The much she talked to Manav, she understood still Mitali could be cured but she was reluctant to give anyone trouble. And now only Deep could convince her.

"Tell Anand, I missed him." He smiled a little and grabbed his coat. He was really going to meet Mitali. She really needed his time.

Deep dropped Drishti to police station and went towards his house. He could meet Anand later. Moreover, Anand must be busy with paperwork. He would never mind Drishti. But maybe he wouldn't want Deep to know government confidential files.

Drishti was about to enter his cabin but got shocked to see Raunak sitting there with a gloomy look. She looked at her gifts and tried to hide. As Raunak's back was facing her, he didn't understand but Anand did. With a smirk, he guestered his assistant to take those from Dri and hide it. Once done, she entered.

"You are here? Didn't you go to meet Aditya?" Raunak looked at her suspiciously. He wanted to talk to Anand about his dad and mom. He didn't know it he would be comfortable in front of Drishti. Still he didn't told her anything.

"Before being your friend, he's my brother, okay?" She gave a waring look.

"He's my friend before." Raunak argued.

"My brother before." She rolled her eyes.

"My best friend."

"My brother, my bhai."

"My........"

"Arrghhhh!!!! Shut up!!" Anand groaned loudly at their childish argument. He had a lot of works and they were busy in quarreling over him.

"Aren't you my bhai before?" Drishti made a pout.

"You know me since college." Raunak gave him a silly look.

"Shut up!! I am Rajiv's bhai's junior before everything. He made me meet two of you." Anand didn't agree with anyone. He rolled his eyes and roared, ",Get out! Let me work."

"What if we don't?" Raunak challenged him.

"Yeah, make us leave." Drishti joined.

Anand was dumbfounded by their sudden change. Weren't they are having an argument few seconds before? He was thanking God being not present in their wedding. Maybe they would have started an argument about bride and groom's side too.

"By the way you didn't give me anything in my birthday." Raunak reminded him about it.

"Your birthday is gone!!" Drishti rolled her eyes, "bhai, tell me about your mission. What actually happened?"

"Guys!!! I'm telling what happened. He found someone who loved the male chauvinist." Mohit suddenly yelled from the door to make Drishti and Raunak exchange glances.
