She was standing in front of mirror and was doing final touch up of her makeup when her husband Subramaniam came and hugged her from behind and said, " Hey sweetheart you are just looking gorgeous and pecked her forehead, A shy smile crept her face and he turned her towards him and held her face in his hands exclaiming that he was blessed to have such a beautiful wife in his life and was about to close the distance between them " when her phone rang breaking her trance making her realize that she was just seeing a dream whereas in Reality her husband didn't even budge to look at her from past few months.
Ishita, where are you I am calling you from a long time, and I am waiting down come fast she heard from other end of call.
I am just coming Priya, give me 5 mins she answered
Before leaving home, she thought to call her husband to inform him abt their best friend Sanjana and Akash's wedding anniversary which they had to attend, but he never answered her call.
The celebrations was a small affair. There were no one apart from Sanjana-Akash and Priya-Arjun. When Ishita looked at these couple though she wasn't jealous of them, she felt bad abt herself, she felt void , she felt something was amiss, she felt she was alone and no one was beside her to hold her hand and on whom can she rest her head.
Hey Ishu Where are you Lost? Sanjana Asked to which she smiled and said nothin
Though Ishita said nothing, her friends understood that she was missing Subbu. To lighten the moment Akash said, guys listen we are only 5 ppl here, so Let's go out to have dinner , we thought to prepare food at home but we were a bit lazy
ohhh ohhh you ppl were bit lazy or you people were very busy today? Arjun asked for which everyone laughed
After a drive of 20 mins, they all reached a multi-star restaurant when she received a call from hospital. She asked her friends to proceed with dinner and she would join them after attending the call.
She was attending the call walking in parking lot and that is when she spotted Subbu's Car parked there. After disconnecting the call she went towards subbu's car to confirm if subbu was really there to spend time with her and their friends.
For a moment Ishita was happy thinking Subbu is here to surprise her but she never knew that this same night would turn her life upside down. She ran inside to see if Subbu was there but when she reached the Dinner table she could not find him anywhere.
Hey Ishu what are you thinking? Sit na, let's have food, I am way too hungry, Sanjana Said.
Spotting subbu's car was still running in her mind, hence she excused herself from dinner saying, she would come back in a while after using the restroom.
She went from there and checked in receptionabt him only to find that he had booked a Honeymoon Suite in his name. Though at beginning she was confused on why would he book a suite but she chucked the Thought thinking he might have planned a surprise for her.
She became happy and asked receptionist abt room number only to be questioned back from Receptionist abt who she was?
"I am Ishita, Dr. Ishita Subramaniam, and Wife of Dr.Subraniam and ..."She was cut by receptionist when she said "Madam but sir checked into the room along with his wife, then you are saying you are his wife" receptionist gave a confused look.
Listening to receptionist, she got shocked and confused .It made no sense to her as she was his wife and she was near reception and was thinking whom did he check in with
She thought to walk towards Hotel room to check what is going on with a heavy heart when she spotted Subbu along with Pallavi in the Hotel Lobby in a compromising situation. She bewildered to see him spending his quality time with Pallavi, She just followed them and found that Indeed subbu took Pallavi and entered the Honeymoon suite he had booked in name of Mr and Mrs. Subramaniam.
She could not cope up with the thought of imagining the horrifying scene in front of her. She never doubted Subbu and Pallavi .Yes she found them entering room together, her heart wanted to still believe that it was just that Subbu was helping Pallavi for some matter, but the scene of them in Hotel lobby where they were in a very compromising situation flashed in front of her eyes. Her heart shattered by the mere thought of her so called husband sharing bed with some other woman.
The Tears that formed in her eyes didn't dare to flow and the words that formed died in her throat.
Without no other thoughts she just booked a CAB and went back to her home by hiding truth from her friends and just informed priya that She got an emergency which needs to be attended at Hospital.
The drive back from hotel to her home was a silent affair with lots of Thoughts running in her mind. She wanted to be alone, She wanted to cry, She wanted to Scream. The mere thought of her husband being with another Woman was unimaginable. As soon as he entered home, which was nothing but a place where she used to just rest at night , she sat on sofa thinking abt how can he ever cheat on her. She had seen Subbu at times in malls roaming around with Pallavi but everytime he used to give an excuse stating that he just came to help Pallavi who was his colleague, but today when she had caught him red handed she felt pity abt herself thinking how sane was she to believe a cheater like subbu. She wanted to confront subbu then and there at hotel but she didn't had the courage to look at her husband sharing himself with some other woman.
The dried up tears started flowing through her eyes and she just screamed out of frustration unable to bear the cheating of her husband. This took her back to 3 yrs when she had agreed to marry Dr.Subramaniam
