Hey guys welcome back!!!

Let's continue...

Days passed,

Avu visited Siddharth's office to surprise him. She walked inside his cabin but Siddharth was not there. She enquired the receptionist and got to know that he left out for some other work. Avu felt little disappointed and walked into his to wait for him.

She felt someone's presence in his personal room and went to see whether someone was there. The scene on front of her made her root in her place. ( a/u what does Avu saw?)

She saw Ritika wearing Siddharth's coat and kissing the collar.

"Ritika!!" She shouted furiously. Rits turned and looked at her casually. "May I know what you are doing here when my husband is not in the office and what the hell were you doing with his clothes?" She asked with a rage. "Nothing much that you did Avu" she said with smirk.

"Whatever first remove his coat" she said like an order. "I won't. Who are you to order me? You're not my boss" she said arrogantly. "Look you're wearing my husband's coat which is completely disgusting. Don't test my patience. Just remove it" she shouted.

"Ohh! You couldn't tolerate this simple thing but do you know what you did to me??" She asked with same rage. "What the hell are you talking about and I never saw you in my life before. Why are you blabbering like a fool??" She replied frustratingly.

"Yes I am a fool and Avu keep this thing in your mind, you snatched my precious possession from my life. I'm the one who should be angry on you" she said looking into his eyes.

"Siddharth, Siddharth is my life. He is my first love and love of my life. He was the one who cared me the most when I was all alone and you keep this in mind. I was the only one stood in his side when he lost everthing and he too loved me so much" she said looking straight into her eyes.

"Stop it!! I know about my Siddharth, he never loved a girl other than me in his life. Stop all your cheap drama" she replied with the same fire. "Really so funny. He loved me from our childhood but before the stage when we would express our feeling, we got separated. I'm the one who left him purposely to make him work hard to achieve his goal without any diversion and there I stood as a true girlfriend who cares about her boyfriend's future.

But you, you came from nowhere to distract his mind. I don't know what is there is you which attracted him that much. He fall for you and you took that opportunity to seduce him. Finally you won and got him by..." A hard slap made her shut her mouth. ( No hate for Ritika, I personally love her and her work.)"Don't let another word. If you talk further. I'll rather kill you" Avu lost her control completely hearing her words.  She furiously removed his cabin and asked her get out of his cabin.

Avu sat there holding her forehead. "What the hell she thought about my Siddharth, he is not that king of person to love a girl and changing his mind once seeing someone else. If he loved someone truly, he would never backed from his decision. Who is she to talk about my husband like this? Don't I know my Sid? But he believed her and appointed her as his PA?" She talked with herself.

Siddharth reached the office after an hour. He saw Ritika sitting in the pantry and noticed that she was crying. He went near her and sat opposite to her. "Rits, are you OK? What happened?" He asked with concern. "Nothing Siddharth, just a headache" she replied with small smile.

"Don't lie, tell me what happened?" He asked looking in her eyes. She burst out in tears. "Hey! Relax yrr, why are you crying?" He asked with confusion. She wiped her tears. "Siddharth, when you were not in the office Avneet ma'am visited our office" he stopped her. "Avneet ma'am!! What's wrong with you?"  He was shocked when she talked so formally.

"Let me finish it Siddharth. She was in your cabin,  I went there to greet her. She too talked so kindly. She asked about our childhood. I shared few of our memories and that was fun. I said I'm your first love. I just said that in funny way and I thought Avu will believe that you never love someone else in your life but Avu took it wrong and suddenly turned furious hearing that and she slapped me. I tried to clarify but she abruptly throw me out without hearing my points" she said with tears.

He was shocked, he never imagined that Avu could behave in that way. "Ok relax I'm sorry for whatever happened" he apologized and left the place immediately. He reached his cabin and closed the door with a bang indicating his anger. Avu looked at him with wide eyes.

"Did you slap Rits?" He asked narrowing his eyes. "Yes, but what she said is..." He stopped her. "Don't give any reason to justify your mistake" he said gritting his teeth.

"But Siddharth, she said that she is your first love and..." Again she was stopped by him. "Stop it Avu, how can you believe that I live someone else in my life. Don't you know you are the only one in my life" he asked holding her shoulder.

"I know that Siddharth, that's why I slapped her let her know that you only love me, there is no one in your life other than me" she said looking at him with hope.

"There is no need to slap her to let her know Avu. If you would have said that you know about me and you will not believe anyone who says ill about me, that would be the trust you have in me but your action resembled your possessiveness. Only the insecure person have possessiveness. That insecure fell will only come when you don't trust someone truly" he said and pain was clearly visible in his tone.

"No Siddharth, it's not like that. Please try to understand. I know you and I trust you more than anyone in this world. So please stop talking like this" she said with tears. His heart melted seeing her tears. "Please don't cry. I didn't mean to hurt you but I was already hurt" he said leaving the room. Avu cried looking at his direction.

Ritika went near her once he left the cabin. "This is just a sample, you're going to face more for snatching my Siddharth from me" she said seeing avu's teary face. "Get out" she said looking into her eyes straight. She walked out with a smirk.

"What's happening around me? Why Siddharth didn't get my points before he judge me?" All those questions repeated in her continuously.

"I'm going for an official trip to Bangkok for two weeks" he said working on his laptop. "When?" Avu asked slowly. "Tomorrow" he said not looking at her face. She looked at him sadly but his face didn't reflect any emotions. "OK" she said leaving the place immediately.

"Wait, if you're not comfortable to stay here alone go and stay with mom, she is here only right or else go to our parents home" he said stopping her. "I will go to my home" she said and left the place immediately.

He behave strangely after that incident. It was two weeks after that incident, yet he behaved so formal with her. In those two weeks he never smiled at her, avoided her and talked with her only if it was necessary. First time after her marriage. She felt that she was in some unknown place and her heart missed her mom and dad that's why she accepted once he asked her to be with her parents.

"Won't you understand me Siddharth?" She thought looking at him longingly before leaving the room but he didn't glanced at her.

Next day,

She visited Siddharth's house to see VA. She welcomed her with overwhelming happiness and noticed something was wrong with her. "Avu are you fine?" she asked with doubt. "Yeah mom, I'm good" she replied faking a smile.

"Don't try to hide something in your mind Avu. I know my girl. Now tell me what happened?" She asked holding her hand. "Mom.." Avu started crying lying on her lap. Relax dear she said patting her back softly letting her cry her heart out. After sometime Avu wiped her tears and said everything that happened.

VA was shocked hearing. "But Avu, Rits is not that type. I don't know what's wrong with her. Moreover I believe you. I'll sort out this issue once Siddharth return" she said with assurance.

"And Avu,  this is common in husband and wife relationship. You should sort out your problems as soon as possible and should not let it continue for long time" she said caressing her forehead. Avu nodded as response.
