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

" I told you that you won't be able to tolerate me the way I am." These words are from Aaira to Reyansh.

This time, after Priyal leaves the house, the two are alone in Reyansh's room and ignoring her when Reyansh sits quietly on his bed, so there Aaira again tries to pacify him and sits next to him on the bed and then puts her head on his shoulder to which Reyansh does not react, neither does he ask her to move her head nor does he himself get up and go anywhere.

Whereas Aaira after a long silence says these words to him " I told you that you won't be able to tolerate me the way I am." reminding him of that day the day she had confessed her love to him and warned him that before anything happens, you should know what kind of person I am, you won't be able to bear me.

And today when he is sitting with his face turned away from her mistake, she says all these words to him reminding him all that things.

Whereas Reyansh remains silent even on this, he sits silent as if he is not affected by her presence at all.

But it is not so, he is being affected by her presence, he wants to scold her for what she always does, not listening to people and doing what her stupid mind thinks, but yes after scolding her, he wants to hug her tightly telling her that no matter what she does she can't push him away from her and he wants to tell her that he is not tolerating her but he's with her because he loves her and wants to be with her forever.

But still, for the time being, he has with great difficulty stopped himself from doing all these things.

And there, after her words, Aaira looks at him, moving her head away from his shoulder.

" Reysu, say something, is my mistake so big that you are punishing me like this ?

And if you have to punish me like this then at least tell me what I can do so that you forgive me, unless you say something how will I do anything." She says

" If you want to do something for me, then please go away from here right now." Finally, again after a long silence, Reyansh speaks, on which Aaira looks at him

" I told you I won't go anywhere until you forgive me." She also says this in her stubbornness to which Reyansh looks at her.

" Okay then stay sitting here because I will not do what you want, it will not always happen what you want." Saying this, Reyansh gets up from the bed only to go to the other side of the bed, and Aaira sees how he has moved away from her and sat on the other side.

Seeing this thing of him, she thinks something, well her heart is saddened by his behavior but then she does not choose to trouble him more.

" As I said today I will not go anywhere from here without your forgiveness, but at the same time, if you don't like my presence in your room, then it's okay, I will wait outside for your forgiveness." She says this to which Reyansh looks at her and she gives him a sad smile.

" I never thought that the first time I come to your room we will be like this, but after what I have done, I deserve all this. It's ok." Saying this, she does not stay there any longer and goes out of the room, upon which Reyansh looks at her.

🦋🦋

After coming out of Reyansh's room, Aaira does not even stay inside the house, she comes to the garden of the house where instead of couch she sits on the floor in the shade.

Sitting here she remembers things from last night till now which brings tears to her eyes.

But then she wipes her tears when she sees an elderly gardener coming into the garden, he starts cleaning and watering the flowers and plants in the garden.

And while doing his work, the gardener's eyes fall on Aaira and the gardener asks her introduction because he has seen her here for the first time.

There Aaira introduces herself to him by just saying that she is Reyansh's friend and knowing this the gardener does not say anything further.

But sitting there quietly for some time, watching the gardener doing his work, Aaira's interest in the plants there grows.

And she gets up from her place and goes to the gardener and starts asking him about those flowers like their names etc, and that gardener smilingly gives her all the information about those plants and flowers.

But Aaira is not able to talk much to the gardener when suddenly she feels a grip on her wrist, which belongs to Reyansh.

She looks at Reyansh and he holds her hand and starts taking her inside the house.

" I have never really seen a crazy person like you, koi dikha nahi ki bas baate karna shuru kar deti ho." After bringing her inside and letting go of her hand, Reyansh says these words to her upon which she looks at him.

" You are not talking, so what else can I do, I will do something to get rid of my boredom." She replies to him to which Reyansh looks at her.

" Look, if you want to stay here till mom comes, then stay quietly inside the house, there is no need to go anywhere else or talk to anyone." He says, to which she looks at him but suddenly a thought comes to her mind, a thought that will help her stay close to him

" Mujhe bhukh lagi hai." She says to which Reyansh looks at her and his expression softens hearing this.

" Wait for a while, I will order something." He says to which she looks at him

" I don't eat outside food." She says to which he gives her a look, mostly he sees her eating outside food and today this tantrums.

And there she composes herself, understanding his look

" I mean I don't want to eat outside food today, well maa asked you to cook for me, so will you make something for me?" she asks him to which he looks at her.

" I would have made it myself too but I don't know anything, but yes, you don't need to do everything alone, I will help you...Please Reysu, you can get angry later, first let's eat something." She says to which he looks at her

But he doesn't say anything further and starts leaving from there and it is not difficult for her to understand where he is going, She runs after him and following him, she reaches the kitchen.

Reyansh decides to make pasta for her, one of her favourite things because as she said that she is hungry, so the only thing he can think of is something that can be prepared as quickly as possible and which can also satisfy her hunger.

He quickly starts chopping some vegetables after putting the pasta on the gas to boil.

" Main kya karu ?" Aaira, standing in the middle of the kitchen, asks him who is finely chopping the vegetables.

" Apna muh band." She gets this answer to her question from Reyansh on which her mouth hangs open.

Well, after an emotional moment, now with him and looking at him she knows that no matter what, they can't be separated.

But she is just feeling bad that he is not talking to her and seeing his mood she also knows that he is not in a mood to forgive her soon this time.

And she gave this idea of ​​cooking so that she can stay close to him but looking at her she is a little scared that she should not do something that will increase his anger, she feels like hugging him but she feels that if she does so, he will get annoyed and that is why she stands quietly at her place.

Standing there she's just doing her favorite work, staring him and she sees how effortlessly he's making pasta.

She smiles thinking something....if she had not spoiled things between them then today there would have been some good moments between them.

She is very much regretting her action.

And while she is thinking all this, Reyansh finishes making pasta.

Reyansh serves their lunch on the dining table outside, and Aaira sits with him.

But before both of them start their food, Aaira extends her hand to feed the first morsel to Reyansh which Reyansh sees

" This is all I can do while cooking together, you made this delicious pasta but I can feed you." She says while offering him a bite of pasta to which Reyansh sighs.

" Why are you doing all this ?" He asks to which she looks at him confused and before she can asks her confusion Reyansh continues

" Today you will feed me and then after 2 days your mood will change, after 2 days you will have to end things between us.

So it is better that you don't make anyone get used to all this and that person can move on easily." He says and hearing his this words her heart hurts.

And from these words of his she has also understood that he had ended all her insecurity towards him but now somewhere she has filled him with insecurity that whenever she feels like it, she will leave him.

Aaira lowers her hand and her gaze as her eyes are filled with tears but with great difficulty she swallows her tears before they fall out of her eyes.

" Thanks for this pasta, but I have lost my appetite, sorry for wasting your time." Saying this, she is about to get up from the dining table when Reyansh holds her wrist and stops her from doing so.

" Eat quietly." He says to which she looks at him

And there Reyansh takes a breath and to makes her feel good as he has understood that his harsh words have hurt her, so he makes a morsel for her and extends his hand to feed her, but this time she turns her face away.

" Thank you but I don't deserve it." After saying this she herself takes a bite in her mouth which she can hardly swallow.

And just in this way, so that his hard work does not go to waste and he does not feel bad about any of her actions anymore, she starts eating quietly, and seeing her like this, Reyansh also slowly finishes his food.

Time passes.

It is evening, it is getting dark outside but both of them still remain silent, After the dining table conversation, there is more silence between the two where now even Aaira does not speak anything to him.

She was just waiting for Priyal to come there so that she could say bye to her and go back home from there because whatever she does, she does not want to insult Priyal in all this now... she has already disappointed Reyansh with her actions.

Priyal asked her to stop: so respecting her words, she stayed: because Reyansh was not going to forgive her so now she gave up her insistence that she would go back from here with his forgiveness.

But now as her time of return is coming closer, she sees Reyansh who is with her in the hall but there is a distance between them.

While she is sitting on one couch, Reyansh is sitting away from her but in front of her on another couch.

She smiles sadly looking at the distance between them and also she realizes some things from the whole day today which she decides to share with Reyansh before going back.

" Can I say something?" She says to which Reyansh looks at her and seeing him looking at her, she continues

" Even though I deserve all this, your anger and all, but do you know what all this is making me feel?" She says this while looking at him while Reyansh waits for her to speak further.

" Today I understand why my father did not want me to have a boyfriend.

Till date, my father has forgiven my numerous mistakes without me even asking for an apology, but my boyfriend ? my boyfriend is sitting here angry because of one mistake of mine." She says to which he sees her smiling mentally.

" Yes, although it is my mistake and you are also not wrong in your place....you have full right to be angry but I...." She stops in the middle of saying this but she knows that what she is going to say next will not be right for their relationship but she still says it.

" I have never begged for forgiveness from anyone the way I am asking for it from you and this is exactly what my father did not want me to do, he never wanted me to chase anyone." She says and he looks at her

" I did not ask you to apologize to me, whatever you are doing, you are doing it of your own free will, whatever you did last night, you did it of your own free will...I didn't say anything last night and I won't say anything now either." He says, to which she looks at him

" That's right but now I've realized that I'll never apologize to anyone for choosing my father." she says and he sees her silently but mentally smiling

" I did wrong to you last night but the only reason was that I chose my father and now I will not apologize for that thing.

And despite what I did, you know what place you hold in my heart, but still if you don't want to talk to me, don't want to forgive me, don't want to stay with me, so it is your wish, I will not force you for anything and...." She is unable to say anything further when Reyansh interrupts her

" Well at least you appreciated someone...you appreciated the person who always loved you selflessly and made you capable of saying that you are not meant to chase anyone." He says to which she sees him

" After all, you respected that person by choosing him and putting him above everything else, by saying you won't apologize for choosing him.

Now always remember this thing, there is no one above him, so before fighting with him again or accusing him of anything, remember this, Your boyfriend or anyone might get angry, but your father will always forgive you, So you should never even think of hurting him for anyone." He completes his sentence to which she looks at him.

And after listening to all his words and suddenly remembering all the things her father had said last night she smiles,

Her father told her not to hurt Reyansh, and he is telling her not to hurt her father and the sad thing is that she hurt both of them but her father forgave her but she doesn't know when he will talk to her again.

" So will you never talk to me again?" Unwillingly, she asks him again, to which he smiles.

And she suddenly feels a little relaxed seeing his first smile in the whole day.

" I will think about it and let you know after 2 months." He says this on which her heart skips a beat

In all this, she had forgotten that both of them were separating for 2 months, but how would he let her forget this.

And there Reyansh mentally smiles looking at her and thinking something.

Isn't that all he wanted was for her to realize what mistake she did, she did what she did to him but she shouldn't have hurt Neil, He had told her not to question her father because of him but she accused her father for something which he had not done.

Well, somewhere he did not expect Aaira to realize her mistake so soon and he had never expected that after realizing this, she would share all these things with him like this but at least she understood things at last and now he will hope that she doesn't do anything to Neil again because of him and somewhere from her words he feels that yes, she will do the same now and this is right too, she really shouldn't apologize to him or anyone for choosing her father.

Last night he was only offended by the reason and way of her ending things between them, he wasn't at all offended by why she chose Neil.

But now he is a little relieved that she understood things on her own, he thank his God that her crazy mind sometimes thinks of good things too.

And then both of them are not able to talk anything further when suddenly the door of the house opens and from there Priyal comes inside by unlocking the door herself with the help of the spare key.

Both of them look at Priyal and Priyal is a little surprised to see them both sitting at a distance on two different couches.

" Wow, I never expected my kids to be so decent." says Priyal to which both of them look at her confused.

" There was no one at home yet you both are maintaining a distance with decency, I did not expect so much decency from my children and especially not from you Aaira, you have tarnished Neil jiju's name, his daughter would have been romantic na ?" Priyal says at which Aaira face turns red slightly with embarrassment

" My son is boring anyway, but maybe you also belong to my son's category...

No i mean, Neil jiju's daughter, boring? Oops I forgot, you also have the qualities of my tubelight friend Avu." Priyal continues to tease both of them and both of them actually feel a bit embarrassed by her words.

And there both of them know this too, that perhaps if there was no distance between them today then obviously both of them would not have been in their decent form and their mother would not have had this misunderstanding that their children are decent.

" Mom, what are you saying?" Reyansh says to which Priyal looks at him.

" That's what you're hearing,..." priyal says while glaring at him

Well, Seeing them, Priyal understands that things are still not right between them, but still Priyal does not say anything between them and comes to Aaira.

" Did you have any trouble here? How was your day?" Priyal asks Aaira

" It was good maa." Aaira replies and then she looks at Reyansh.

Later,

Time passes, As Vishal comes home, everyone has dinner and has a great time. Priyal and Vishal make Aaira feel good with their love and affection.

" Reyansh drop Aaira home." Priyal tells Reyansh.

Well, it is 10 in the night, and even though Aaira had driven herself here in her car in the morning but it is obvious that Priyal will not let her go alone at this late hour so she asks Reyansh to drop her home.

And with this Aaira says bye to Priyal and Vishal and Priyal stops Vishal at the door of the house and sends Aaira-Reyansh ahead together.

" Keys?" Reyansh asks Aaira for her car keys so that he can drive

And Aaira sees how he is looking everywhere except her while saying this.

And there Aaira notices that Priyal and Vishal have gone back inside the house from the door, then she looks at Reyansh.

" Thanks but you don't have to do this for me." She says to which Reyansh looks at her

" Just like you said that you will tell me after 2 months whether you will talk to me or not, in the same way you should decide to do all these things again for me after 2 months.

For now I will go alone." She says to which he gets a little angry, no matter what, he will not let her go alone at this time.

" Look, don't drag things, give me the keys, I am dropping you home." Reyansh says

" And I don't want you to come with me." she says and doesn't do much else but opens her car door and sitting inside she starts the car without wasting any time, seeing which Reyansh gets shocked

And before he can try to stop her, Aaira starts driving the car out of the boundary of his house, and in no time, she disappears from his sight, upon which he gets angry at her action.

🦋🦋

Aaira is lost in her thoughts and driving the car at a slow speed. The road is not very crowded, there are a few vehicles running but there is still peace.

And while she is driving the car lost in her thoughts, she suddenly sees in the rear mirror that Reyansh is behind her car who is on his bike.

Well this thing is not surprising for her but seeing his concern she gets filled with guilt even more.

And now as he is visible to her in her rear mirror, suddenly Aaira's entire focus shifts from the road to the mirror in which he is.

But suddenly she comes to her senses when her car collides with something and is shocked to see that she has hit a car parked on the side of the road.

Whereas Reyansh quickly stops his bike and immediately comes to Aaira in worry, while on the other side, the person whose car was hit by Aaira also gets out of the car and she is none other than ikshita.

" Tum theek ho ?" Opening Aaira's car door, Reyansh first asks her this question, to which Aaira looks at him.

Meanwhile, ikshita checks the back of her car and Aaira notices her, upon which she gets out of the car without giving any answer to Reyansh.

" I'm sorry, ye, wo, this happened by mistake... I did not do it deliberately." Aaira says to ikshita, on which ikshita takes her eyes off her car and looks at her.

And after looking at her for a moment some thought comes to her mind, she looks at her as if she has seen her somewhere.

" It's ok, it was my mistake too, if I stop the car in the middle of the road and talk on the phone then this is what will happen." Ikshita says and although her car was parked on the side of the road but it is her goodness that she does not put the entire blame on Aaira.

And at the same time, Aaira and Reyansh look at her with a little surprise that if someone else was in her place, he or she would have made a big deal out of this thing.

" I will pay for this loss, you..." After this Aaira is unable to say anything when Ikshita interrupts her

" It's okay Aaira, you don't have to do this." Ikshita says when she remembers where she has seen Aaira face

But on hearing this word of her, this time Aaira and Reyansh are definitely shocked that how did she know her name

" How do you know my name?" A shocked Aaira asks her, to which Ikshita smiles.

" It's magic." Ikshita speaks in her joking manner to which Aaira Reyansh looks at her confused but seeing the confusion on her face, Ikshita smiles.

" There is nothing like that, I know your name because our fathers are friends." Ikshita says to which Aaira looks at her

Well, Ikshita's father Naitik Sehgal is not only a friend of Raj but also of Neil. Naitik was in college with Raj and Neil due to which he also knows Simran.

But after a while, due to not being able to stay in India much, there was not much interaction between them, but they are still good friends.

Later, Naitik sets up his business in India and at that time ikshita is completing her studies in London but now that Ikshita has completed her studies, she has returned to India to her father.

" I have seen your photo with your father on my father's social media account, so that's how I know your name." Ikshita tells her how she saw her and recognized her.

" And it was good that we met earlier because of this accident, My father was going to introduce me to you and your family but look we have already met." Ikshita says

And actually, since Ikshita is new here, Naitik is going to introduce her to Aaira as Ikshita herself expressed her wish to meet everyone after seeing the picture because she doesn't know many people here, but she likes meeting new people.

" So friend?" Ikshita says extending her hand towards Aaira to which Aaira looks at her

" Please don't refuse, I don't have any friends here." Ikshita adds to which Aaira smiles

" Why would I refuse, I would be happy to be friends with you, you are very sweet." Aaira says while shaking hands with him and suddenly both of them share a friendly hug.

And seeing all this, Reyansh gets a little shocked, he has seen boys becoming friends so quickly but this is the first time he is seeing two girls becoming friends so quickly and that too after the accident.

After this kind of accident, instead of fighting, both of them became friends.

" Let's go for a coffee to celebrate this accidental friendship." Ikshita tells her to which Aaira smiles.

" I am sorry, actually I have to go home, Papa must be waiting for me...but yes we will meet tomorrow." Aaira says because it is really getting late at night.

" Well, you are right, then it is decided that we will meet tomorrow." Ikshita tells her at which she says ok smilingly.

" Aaira, give me the keys, I will drop you." Suddenly Reyansh says this to Aaira again when Aaira is about to get into the car

And obviously after seeing her car get into an accident he doesn't want her to drive anymore. Yes, even though she didn't get hurt, he is still worried about her.

But Aaira doesn't say anything on his words and opens the car door but Reyansh holds her hand stopping her and Ikshita sees this thing between them.

Well she didn't pay much attention to Reyansh before but now she sees how he is talking but Aaira is not responding to any of his words.

Well, Aaira is not responding to Reyansh's words because somewhere she is also hurt by his behavior.

Even though it is her mistake, she admit but she doesn't like the way he is treating her.

And she doesn't talk to him now because he said that after 2 months he will decide and tell her whether he will talk to her or not, so it's okay, just ignore her properly, what is this, concern about her but don't want to talk to her.

If he doesn't want to talk to her then he doesn't need to worry about her either.

" Aaira don't be stubborn, let me drive." Reyansh tells her holding her wrist to which Aaira shakes off his hand and looks at him

" I told you, I will go on my own, don't you understand? And what is your problem? Why are you following me now..." Aaira tells him while giving him a look that when she was at his house then he did not talk to her then why is he following her now.

And before Reyansh could say anything on this, Ikshita interrupts them when she hears Aaira's words that he is following her.

" oh bhai saheb, sharm nahi aati apni behan jaisi ladki ka pichha karte hue, use is tarah chhedte hue...?" Ikshita says to which Reyansh's eyes widen, sister? And he is harassing her? Is she crazy?

" When she is saying that she will go away on her own, then why are you harassing her like a villain in a film?" Ikshita adds and Reyansh looks at her and so does Aaira but Reyansh gets angry somewhere.

" Now I understand how they both became friends so quickly, it is obvious that the vibes of one crazy person would match with the other crazy person." Reyansh thinks while staring at both Aaira and Ikshita but does not say these words loudly.

" When you don't know something, you should not say anything, I am not harassing her, whatever I am doing is my right." He tells Ikshita to which Aaira looks at him

" Achha! Wo kaise ? Sch mein bhai ho kya ?" says Ikshita to which Aaira suppresses her laughter to which Reyansh gives her a look

" Aaira, do you know him?" Ikshita now asks this question directly to Aaira, to which Aaira looks at her

" No." Aaira replies to which Reyansh looks at her in shock but before Reyansh can say anything, Aaira continues

" But you ask him, who is he to me, by what right is he following me..." Aaira says looking at Reyansh to which Reyansh looks at her.

Well Aaira lies about not recognizing him because she wants to see what he will say in response, whether he will say that he is still her boyfriend.

" So tell me who are you to her?" Ikshita asks Reyansh to which Reyansh looks at her

" I don't think it is necessary to answer you about our relationship." Reyansh replies to Ikshita to which Aaira looks at him

" And now that's enough, let's go." saying this Reyansh holds Aaira's hand and is about to take her to the passenger seat but Ikshita holds Aaira's other hand

" While I am here, don't even think of forcing her, mister and first answer, by what right are you holding her hand when she is saying that she does not know you." Saying this, Ikshita frees Aaira's hand from his hand, upon which Reyansh looks at her and then at Aaira.

Well, Aaira understands how angry he must be at this moment because of all these things but he is barely able to maintain his control.

And in no mood for any further argument, Reyansh opens Aaira's car door, takes her phone kept inside in his hand and shows it to Ikshita

" I am her wallpaper, you got the answer as to what our relationship is." Reyansh speaks to Ikshita in his harsh voice and Ikshita gets shocked to see a smiling photo of Reyansh on her phone wallpaper.

Ikshita lets go of Aaira's hand when she starts to understand their relationship a little bit

" Boyfriend ?" Ikshita asks Aaira in a whisper to which Aaira just nods to which Ikshita bites her tongue

" Then why were you following her on a bike like a villain?" Ikshita again questions Reyansh on which Reyansh is really about to lose his patience

" I really don't think it is necessary to give you any reply and please stop your questions now and you, stop all this drama and sit in the car, don't test my patience." Saying this, Reyansh holds her hand and brings her to the passenger seat of the car and makes her sit.

And then before Reyansh sits on the driving seat, he parks his bike on the side of the road and then without wasting any time he sits in the driving seat, starts the car and from there heads towards her house.

And Ikshita thinks something seeing them leaving.

🦋🦋

" You were very rude to her." Aaira tells Reyansh

Well after a long silence in the car when Aaira is few minutes away from her home she chooses this word breaking the silence between them, and she was really surprised that why this gentlemanly guy was rude to a girl.

But seeing Reyansh still silent on her words, Aaira looks at Reyansh

" I am saying something." she says and he doesn't say anything even after hearing her words.

" Reyansh..... Aaira is unable to say anything further when Reyansh stops the car and Aaira realizes that she has reached her home.

Meanwhile, Reyansh stops the car outside her house and gets out of the car followed by Aaira and before Reyansh takes a step to back out from there, Aaira stops him.

"

Reysu, It's okay if you don't want to talk to me, at least... She is unable to complete her words when she sees Reyansh taking steps closer to her

Reyansh stands close to her and their eyes meet and she sees that Reyansh puts his hands on both her shoulders due to which her heart beats faster.

" Go inside, good night." he says to which she looks at him and saying this he leaves her and then starts walking away without listening to another word from her.

And seeing him go like this, a tear falls from Aaira's eyes but then she wipes her tears, takes a deep breath, sits in the car, and goes inside the gate.

As soon as she stops the car after coming inside, she sees Neil coming out of the house but Neil panics seeing the front part of her car broken.

" How did this happen? Are you okay bachha ?" Neil asks Aaira as soon as she gets out of the car

And to calm her father down, she tells him the whole thing clearly and also tells him that her accident happened with her friend's daughter.

" Are you really okay? And was she okay too, did she get hurt?" Neil asks her about the well-being of both of them

" Yes papa, it was nothing serious, my car was slow and her car was stopped." Aaira answers him

" Ok, now you go and take rest." Neil tells her to which she nods and gives him a hug and then goes inside.

And after Aaira goes in, Neil looks towards the gate and thinks something.

Well, he had seen from his room's window that Reyansh had come to drop her outside the house and even though from a distance, she sensed the distance between them.

But still he hasn't asked Aaira why Reyansh didn't come inside and whether everything is fine between them or not.

Because after seeing them both he has realized that things are not okay between them.

He takes a deep breath while thinking about something.

To be continued......
