Ayushi decides to talk with mona. No matter what karan thinks of marriage she also deserves some peace and comfort. If karan is miserable under that roof mona will be no less. Even roommates get affected with all dramas going on in each other's life. They are more than roommates even if on papers..

She decides to meet her. She texts her details of cafe and timing.

Both meet two hours later.

"Kya legi?" She asks mona.

"Jahar."

"Nautanki na kar. Tameez se baith ja"

"Maine nahi khana he jahar. Ye to us samne wale ladke ke liye he jo ghoore ja raha he mujhe pichle 5 minutes se."

"Tu nahi sudhregi."

"Bigadi kab thi be. Accha sun. Coffee ke sath pizza mangwa. I want to eat so much of cheese."

"Weight badh jayega."

"Hat. Khane de. Jo hoga dekha jayega. Waise tujhe meri yaad kyu aayi?"

"Yaad use karte hw jisko bhoolte he. Tum gale ki phans banke jeevan me ataki padi ho..tumhe kaise bhool sakte he."

Mona gives a winning smile hearing this.

"Khush mat ho. Bill split hoga."

"Nahi jan. Tere settlement me byaah di gayi meri nanhi si jawani...tu ye coffee aur pizza ka bill pay nahi kar sakti."

"Blackmail! Chal koi nahi. Tere liye jan bhi hazir."

"Teri jan ka achar dalungi main? Kuch acchi cheez de."

"Pati de to diya..wo bhi hamshakl."

"Sali..waise yaar...sacchi bolu to us din office me jab aadi aaya I thought he was karan.mera dimag phir gaya..main uska hath tod deti dobara. Wo to bach gya because he talked sweetly."

"Sun be. Tu apna mal tod. Mere product me default paida karne ki koi jarurat nahi he."

"Waah. Waah. Kuch jyada hi lagaw nahi he tujhe apne product se."

"Ha yar. Ye coffee ka bill usi ke nam phadungi."

"Tab to theek he." And both laughs. Coffee arrives and pizza too. Mona eyes pizza with so much love as ayushi ends up taking one bite as well.

"Tere chakkar me main bhi moti jo jaungi."

"Bahan. Newton ne kaha tha ki more thicc they are..more I like it! So never say no to thickness."

"Kamini. Jarur pornhub wala newton hoga."

"Ye nahi yaad."

"Accha ek bat bta. Tu karan se itna chidhti kyu he! He is a sexy dude."

"If he sexy it means you find aaditya sexy. Amd if you find aaditya sexy then go and do him and stop boring me with your nonsense question. Go get a sex life."

"Pizza hazam nahi hoga sali."

"Door hat. Khane de shanti se."

"Yar tu ignore nahi kar. What exactly is the issue with karan?"

Mona stops eating.

"Never relaly thought about it. But now that I think it must have been his face. Shakal se hi leechad he nagphani ki shakl wala aadmi."

"Mona!"

"Yaar....I just cant accept the fact that I am married. Its getting hard for me to adjust in this life style. Karan doesnt react at all when I invade in his space. He keeps on accepting everything in this relation. He would do everything and not compalin. How? I Mean how he can adjust with some stranger he never knew, never met before! Aur ye to kuch bhi nahi...He has started acting weirdly. If I am late he would ask to pick me up next day. Many times dinner was ready. Many times no..every time he got up when I came home late. He checked up on me. What is exactly going on in his mind? I am just at the end of my wits."

"Man! I was so wary of aadi but its you who ended up being paranoid. I know its hard to accept someone out of nowhere, all of sudden. But try kar ke dekh na ek bar. At least for some time. Just make amends with his presence. Treat him like a rommmate. Dont get irritated with him now and then. Just go with the flow."

"Ae chup kar. Go with the flow aur flow ke sath hi bay of bengal me gir jao. Kuch bhi illogical bolti he. Bahan...Karan ka sirf nam karan he. Harkate duryodhan wali he. Wo aadmi mahabharat part 2 lane ki himmat rakhta he. Aur tu bolti he us se shanti banau. Banaye meri jooti. Wo aadmi meri har bat ka ulta jawab deta he."

"Tu kuch nahi bolti bad me?

Yar. Shanti se soch. Its not like we are the only ones who are suffering. Kahi na kahi aadi as well karan are too suffering. Nobody wants to be with someone who doesnt want him or her. Its not about romantic relations only. If you feel unwelcome and unwanted every relation in this world starts haunting you. So please...for your own sake be civil with karan."

Mona looks at ayushi with big eyes...

"Ghalib ki ma! Aashiq bolte he aisi baate.

Kahi aisa to nahi ki tu aadi ke pyar me gir gayi aur mujhe bhi isi kuye me giarana chahti he! Hat be. Maine single marna he. Hat."

"I dont love aaditya yar. I just want to behave normally with him. I can see he has also suffered. I can see why he was so adamant on talking with me about things. After that talk I have felt like a burden has disappeared from my shoulders. I feel light..between the space we share I dont feel suffocated as before. I feel alive in that home. I feel at peace. Now I want aaditya to open up as well. He has secrets. He has pain. But he keeps on solving other's issues. If he isnt at peace I would also end up going astray."

"Alag hi level ka confession he ye bhai. 'I love you but I dont love you the way you do. You know what i mean' wala....bhai..tu theek he na? Nashe me to nahi he na.

Yar dekh...tujhe aur aaditya ko jo karna he. Karo. Mujhko mat bolo ki karan ke sath aise raho ya waose raho. He doenst deserve me."

"Tere chaped padh jani he. Irritate mat kar. Bc. Tameez se bat karne ko bola he. Insano jaise nahi rah sakti tu. Aur ye kya bakwas laga rkahi he tune itne time se. He doesnt deserve me. Tera bhoot utaru abhi! Tum dono ke sath hum kahi ja nahi skate kyunki tumhari mahabharat shuru ho jani he. You know you have become toxic. And the day wont be far away when this toxicity will appear in every relation of yours. Ek chhoti si zid chhorne me itna issue kyu he tujhe? We are not asking you to salvage your life. Its just matter of living peacefully. Itni bat samajh me nahi aati..."

Mona keeps quiet.

"I am scared. He would ask for more one day. I cant do things at his speed. He is running into this marriage without a break." She speaks her concerns after some time

"Then tell him. Talk with him. give repsect and have respect. Stop running. Aayi bat samajh me ya chappal nikalu?"

"Bata isnt my brand. Jimmy choo ki nikal de..prada bhi chalega."

"Tu ruk bc." Ayushi cusses at her with a smile on her face..hoping she would not pull some illogical stunt this time.

************

Mona' phone rings and karan ends up being the one taking a look at it. After seeing the caller id his blood boils.

Mona comes out of her room after some time. She searches for her phone.

"Phone dhoondh rahi ho?" Karan asks.

Mona nods. After the talk with ayushi she has decided to not mess her horns with karan all the time. But it doesnt mean she would let karan win. So she has stopped taunting him less and started replying him. They started talking past week. Karan' behavior has been acceptable till now so mona wants to pursue this policy of peace keeping.

"Fridge par rakha he."

She rushes to find it. She is busy in checking something when karan pops up from behind.

"Who is shishir?"

She is astonished first later composes herself.

"Meri mohbbat!" She gives a bored reply.

"Kya? Kya bak rhai ho? And why the hell there is a heart next to his name?"

"Kyunki wo dil me rahta he. Isliye."

Karan clenches his fists.

"Mera nam kis name se saved he? show me."he asks. Mona looks here and there. 

"No save bhi he ya unsaved he?" She is silent.

"Waah! Mera number save bhi nahi he. Aur shishir ke naam ke aage heart. Do you have any shame? I am your husband. Do you know this?"

"Shame? Pyaar karne me kaisi sharam? Aur tumhara nam saved he. Dekho. Ye dekho.." she shows him his contact which is saved under JKD 👻.

"What does this mean? Koi nayi gali he?"

"That doesnt matter. But your number is saved. This should be enough for you. Shanti se raho ab. Aur mujhe bhi rahne do." She goes to her bedroom and locks herself. Meanwhile karan is fuming with anger. Who the hell is shishir? And why the hell he is roaming after his wife? This shishir guy has no shame left. Karan curses shishir a lot for corrupting his wife.

********

Afyer three days ayushi receives a call from mona middle of night.

"Kya kasht he be? Sone de. Rat ko normal log sote he. Tujhe kya chull machi he."

"Bahan. Mohbbat ka transfer ho gya." Mona replies in very sad tone.

"Kaun mohbbat? Rat ko ashiqi and paheliya na kari. Sahi se bata."

"Shishir got transferred. Uhhhhuuhhhuuhh. Ab mera kya hoga? Main akeli kaise bhatiya ko jhelungi."

"Abe yar. Naya crush bana liyo. Kyu ro rahi he."

"Yar. Ye shishir theek mal tha. Meri economy me fit baithta tha. Ab naya crush banane me bahut mehnat lagegi. Pata nahi itna achanak kaise transfer ho gya. My ishq..shishir....main kaise rahungi tumhare bina..priyatam." she cries some more and ayushi keeps phone at a distance.

"Jab tera rona ho jaye to phone rakh diyo. I am not listening anything."

"Sali. Tu koi kam ki nahi he. Yaha meri mohbbat lut gayi aur tujhe neend ki padi he. Out of sudden out of nowhere shishir got trnasferred.

Yaar...koi secret operation to nahi chal rha department me? Nahi yar. He was promoted last year that too after waiting for three years. Aise koi operation hota to transfer delhi se mumbai nahi hota. There is something fishy.

Hold on.....this has happened after I announced karan that Shishir is my mohbbat. Kahi ye uska kiya dhara to nahi! But wo army wala he. Uska IT department se kya lena dena. Nahi nahi. Karan namak vyaqti me itni dum nahi...but what if he did this...ya phir uska hath ho isme..."

"Sun be. Tune khud analysis karni he aur khud hi deduction to phone rakh.

Aur tune karan ko ye kyu bola ki shishir teri mohbbat he! Wo aadmi tera 36th crush hoga kam se kam. Aise mohbbat agar hone lagi to laila majnu ko phir se jahar kha lena he. Tu kyu pange leti he us se?"

"Kyunki usne meri maang bhari thi..ab iski saja usko na maangne par bhi milegi!"

"Tujh par mental harassment ka case thok dungi. Phone rakh de shanti se. Rat ke teen baje khoon mat pi. Nikal.." ayushi disconnects the call.

Takking with mona was fruitless. That woman has taken an oath to live life in chaotic way ever possible. Let it be. Her chaos would bring some entertainment to her boring life atleast.... but shishir' transfer...man! Karan is about to get whipped or he might have..who knows. But she wonders if mona deserves this whipped husband or not for that woman doesnt like whipped at all.
