Chapter 14
Lat at night, they reached resort where they will be staying. As all were tired, they all went in their respective rooms, Taani & Nandini were sharing the room so is swayum & manik, Kriya was in one room and Rey & Sharon were in one much to Rey's annoyance.
When he walked inside the room, he found sharon waiting for him.
"You can take the bed, I'll sleep on couch." Rey informed her, sharon look at him with hurt in her eyes.
"Rey, do you really hate me this much? that you can't even share bed with me. Biwi hoon mein tumhari-" Sharon asked him, her voice croaked. She was on verge of crying.
"Sharon, we both know the reality of our so called relation then why you pretend everything is alright? I don't even want to be in same room as you, so sharin bed is out of the question." Rey answered her in plain tone, letting her know that he will never accept this relation.
"Its getting late, you should go to sleep. Good night." Rey said to her, he picked up pillow and blanket and slept on couch while sharon stayed awake, thinking about her married life.
Their family had always talk about her marriage with Rey since they were kids, it had imprint the thought of Rey being perfect for her in her mind. She herself doesn't know when she started seeing him as more than a friends and their families talks about her & Rey's relation, encouraged her feelings to bloom more.
Neither their families nor she tried knowing about his feelings, seeing his care & over protectiveness toward sharon, they all assumed he was in love her, but the reality was completely different, he cares for her as his best friend. He was protective about her because she was his best friend.
Somewhere deep down, she knows there relation has no future but her heart stopped her from accepting it. Like any other girl, she too doesn't want her marriage to break. She doesn't want to give up on their relation just like that. She will do everything in her hand to save her marriage. And with that thought, she slept.

In morning, they all except taani met in resort restro for breakfast.
"Nandini, where is your friend?" Rey asked his sister, sounding casual but inside, he was dying to know about her.
"Madam is still sleeping. I tell you, she is lady version of kumbhkaran." Nandini snickered, Rey smiled knowing about it very well.
"What about her breakfast then?" Manik asked, stealing glances at his best friend who wanted to ask the same.
"She said she will have it later. Her sleep is more important." Nandini replied, Manik nodded at her in response.
"Manik, keep my sister busy after breakfast. I'm going to meet her." Rey said to manik who was sitting right beside him. Taking up the opportunity, manik agreed happily.
"Nandini, lets go to poolside." Manika suggested, nandini look at him before she nodded positively, a shy smile was playing on her lips as he held her hand and both walked away from there.
"Swayum, you accompany the girls, I'll be back in a while." Rey said to swayum and walked away from there. He walked toward her room. He took out the room key which nandini had given him before breakfast and opened the door of the room.
He locked the door once he entered inside. A small touched his lips when his gaze fall over her sleeping figure on the bed. He walked over the bed and sat beside her, she was sleeping peacefully while cuddling with her teddy bear.
He badly wanted to be in place of the teddy bear. Brushing his thoughts aside, he picked up the intercom and ordered breakfast for her. Then he turned to her, he stroke her hair lovingly.
"Good morning, kitty. Wake up now-" Rey whispered in her ear lovingly. Taani moaned in her sleep. But then, her eyes snapped open when she realized he was there.
"Reyaansh! What are you doing here?" Taani got up and sat on the bed, amusing him with her antics.
"I came to meet my baby girl. Go, freshen up then have your breakfast." Rey told her, taani shook her head. She slide her arms around him and hugged him tightly, she rested her head on his shoulder. Finally, they have got some little time alone.
"I'm missing you so much-" Taani mumbled softly.
"Me too, kitty."
"Taani, are you alright? And i know seeing me with sharon and sharing room with her, its all uncomfortable for you to watch. I'm sorry for putting you in this situation." Rey said to her genuinely, feeling bad for her, for them.
"Its difficult, Reyaansh, but i trust you. Don't worry about these things. I'm alright" Taani assured him with smile. Rey nodded, and hugged her tightly.
"Now you go, all will get suspicious if you stay missing for long."
"Okay! I'm going. You have your breakfast and meet us at poolside." Rey said to her, taani nodded positively in return. Rey smiled at her, he kissed her forehead before he got up and left from there, leaving a smiley taani behind.

Sharon was with Kriya in her room, both the girls were talking about their lives. The atmosphere grew serious when kriya brought up her marriage topic.
"Sharon, I noticed how Rey is distant from you. Is everything alright between you two?" Kriya asked her, concernedly. Sharon look at her with unshed tears in his eyes. Kriya understood what she wants to convey.
"Don't give up on him, Shar. He is taking this marriage and you for granted. Show him that you are his wife, his legally wedded wife. You should know how to get your man back, the sharon i knew, never give up on the things she want. You can get his attention back on you again." Kriya assured her. Sharon look at her, confused. Not understanding what she is trying to say.
"Here, take this. And get your husband back." Kriya said, tossing her a package. Sharon gave a confused look to her then look at the packet for a moment before she opened the packet. Her eyes widen in shock finding a very short red nightie inside the packet.
"I heard red is his favorite color, And i'm sure, after seeing you in this, he won't be able to resist you-" Kriya winked at her while sharon gaped at her, clearly understanding what kriya want her to do, Seduce her husband.
