This was a fun one! Enjoy!
Trust
Farhad: Anna ne agar dekhliya to hum sab ko marenge
Pallavi was tending to some flowers when she saw a worried Farhad walking around
Pallavi: Farhad kya hua, itne tension mein kyun ho
Farhad to himself: bhabhi ko bhi kuch nahi batasakta, abhi abhi toh anna aur bhabhi ki dooriyan kam ho gayi
Pallavi: Farhad mein kuch pooch rahi hoon tumse, apni bhabhi ko nahin bataoge
Farhad: Bhabhi aise baat nahin hai
Raghav: FARHAD!
Farhad: Yes Anna! abhi aya sorry bhabhi
Confused Pallavi: Yeh kya ho raha hai, aur Raghav bhi itne gusse mein kyun bulaya Farhad ko
Raghav is fuming and pacing in his study as his terrified secretary enters.
Raghav throws the newspaper at Farhad.
Raghav: WHAT THE HELL! tumhara job hai yeh sab bakwaas ko door rakhne ka...amma, keerti or khaas pallavi kya sochega yeh dekh kar
Farhad: anna i'm sorry, maine puri koshish ki thi, vo journalist mana hi nahi
Raghav: tu abhi mere saath ayega aur us journalist ko mein sabak sikhayega
As he opens the door he sees his beautiful innocent wife standing in front of him with a look of curiosity
Raghav: Pallavi, kya hua, kuch chahiye kya
Pallavi: Nahin tum kahin jaa rehe ho
Raghav: Haan mera bahut zaroori kaam hai aur mein late ayega, tum dinner kar lena okay chalo Farhad and closes the door to his study
Raghav and Farhad leave and Pallavi needs to get to the bottom of whatever is going on with her husband
Pallavi finishes dinner, chats with Keerthi and starts getting ready for bed.
Pallavi: Raghav ne mere koi calls aur texts return nahin kiye.
She knows she shouldn't have gone in but there was no going back now. Pallavi starts looking for what could have made her husband so angry and out of the corner of her eyes she sees some papers on the floor. She picks them up and sees the headline, "Raghav Rao the Casanova is BACKK" followed by a string of pictures of him dancing with numerous girls in skimpy clothes.
Pallavi's eyes begin to tear up as she shreds the paper and runs out of his office.
Raghav and Farhad arrive home around midnight after successfully torturing the journalist who had the nerve to photoshop RR in those pictures. He was able to make sure a retraction and apology would follow tomorrow morning.
Raghav was just about to head upstairs when he saw his study light on. He goes in and sees the mess on the floor. "NO! NO NO NO NOOOO!" he yells. It had to be Pallavi who saw the article and tore up the paper.
He enters their bedroom and sees Pallavi lying on her side of the bed with her eyes closed and tissues on the floor beside her.
Raghav feels even worse and sits beside her: Please Pallavi, mera yakeen karo. Mein sapno mein bhi tumko dhoka nahin de sakta. Tum mere liye kitni important ho, tumko bata bhi nahin. Bahut izzat karta hoon hum dono ki relationship ko. Please sweetheart please believe me.
He sighs and goes to take a shower
Pallavi opens her eyes: I believe you, aur ab mein apne feelings bhi samaj gayi hoon Ghamandi Rao.
Next morning
Pallavi woke up before RR to avoid the awkward conversation. Raghav comes downstairs looking for Pallavi so he could give her an explanation.
Raghav: Pallavi, good morning! Woh kal raat mujhe tumko call karna chahiye tha lekin busy ho gaya toh
Pallavi smiles: it's okay Raghav and good morning
Raghav not sure what is happening asks: Pallavi are you upset with me
Pallavi: Not at all. Why?
Raghav to himself: what the hell was she not upset seeing the news yesterday, and the tissues..
Raghav: no nothing, just thought i'd ask
Farhad brings in the new paper and quietly tells raghav the retraction and apology was printed. Raghav opens it to the page and lays it on the table so Pallavi can read it. He starts sweating not knowing what kind of reaction he will get from her.
Pallavi sees what he is doing and smiles: Raghav yeh kya, paper dining table pe padhna not allowed. She takes it without reading and tosses it to the side.
Raghav: Pallavi i thought there was something you should read in there.
Pallavi: Nahin, mujhe nahin padhna and looks at him with a smile
Raghav: Sooo..we are okay
Pallavi takes her pallu and wipes the sweat on his brow: Better than okay
Raghav touches her hand: Thank you, for trusting me. I promise I will never break it.
Pallavi smiles: I know and I promise to be here on day 31 and forever after if you want me to be
Raghav stunned can't believe what he just heard. Not knowing how to respond he picks her up bridal style and spins her around laughing and smiling.
Thanks for reading! :)
