"He chose me over that Livy..he chose his wife.."I said and collapsed on the bed burying my face in the pillow to hide the blush to even myself.

He left for the work after the lunch telling me to be ready around seven.I couldn't not be more happy to see the changes in his attitude.He was genuinely trying to break the sheath of ice that covered our relationship.

I squealed on the bed by a slight thought of spending the hours where people will acknowledge me as his wife .

I got up from the bed and went to the closet . Opening his side of door I found a he stuck a note with a messege 'I can't wait to see you in this' with a wink emoticon at the end.

Heat build up again in my blood looking at the shimmery black fabric that I was holding in my hand .

I put it on me and groaned finding that I was looking like 16 years old girl who had to do a hard work on herself if she wants to make her first date with her crush .I decided to take a warm shower before working on my appearance.

Three hours later I was done with washing and pampering my hairs ,waxing my hands and lengs later on a steam bath .

"He asked me for the dinner party..!"I repeated to myself once..no.. twice..no..well I really don't remember the uncountable times I said this line to my reflection in front of the floor length mirror adoring my own self in a black lacy gown which was slit on one side .

I can't praise that masterpiece of someone's skills but it was more special for me for another reason.

He brought it for me.

Yes he was talking about the dress

on the lunch time.I really wished to look my best to make our first outing memorable for a long haul...infact I wanted to show the evil hag that Randhir belongs to me and she has to keep her claws away from him.

"Hey beautiful.."the most melodious familiar voice whispered near my shoulder thus my heart skipped when my eyes bore with his deep intense eyes .They went the size of saucers as he checked me out from tip to toe.

Happiness was clearly evident on

his face.Never once his gaze everted from my face but my heart beat quickened and the amount of confidence my eyes held wavered .

"You want us to go out or not..?"he hushed sliding the diamond studded necklace around my neck .

"Huh..why ?"I confusingly .

"This dress of yours is really making me hard to hold a control on myself.."whispering into my ear he roamed his hands on the length of my arms and started kissing the pit of

my neck.

"Ran..dhirrr..."my lips struggled to say anything as my head started spinning by his sweet torture.I could hear my heart pacing on a dangerous rate when he finally craned his head up to match our eyes in the mirror.

"Lets go before I change our plan.."he said straightening his posture thus I examined him from top to bottom.

He wore a plain black suit paired with a white shirt like always looking smoky hot as well .His burning eyes were still gazing me with that intensity I have seen whenever we come close intimately.I gulped hard to prevent the tingles forming in the pit of my stomach.

We left the suit in his black Mercedes.He didn't loose his warm grip on my hand while I chose to look outside the window because his eyes were on me with a soft and warm emotion flowing in them.When the car stopped in outside a seven star hotel . Earlier I used to get nervous in such environment but now I was habituated to the world of illusionary things and camera flashes.

He stepped out first and opened the door for me like a gentleman.My eyes became moist by his efforts to make me feel special in front of his world when the media people pounced upon him.He just gave them his signature smile and then turned to me.

"Hey Strawberry you don't have to feel nervous..just remember I am always with you.."he said giving me an assuring smile.

I put my hand on his palm and came out of the car like a proud wife.He encircled his hand around my waist and together we entered inside the venue.

All the while he didn't leave my waist and introduced me with his business friends and partners warmly.Even he told one of the aged couple that we'll plan a baby soon when they asked about his future plans.

"Randhir... thanks.."I said once we were alone as he led me to the vacant chairs.

"For what sweetheart.."he cocked

his brows in confusion.

"For bringing me with you..I really looked forward to spend some time with you.."I admitted to him what was going inside my head and I genuinely felt it was right thing to do at the moment.

"I didn't do it for you.."he replied sipping his wine while I tried to read his blue eyes.

"But I will remember this evening forever.."I chipped lovingly staring

at him who was mine.

We were talking when someone tapped on his shoulder.And definitely that someone was not the person whom I didn't expect to see at least on our special evening.

"Hey Livy.. you're looking beautiful.."he said turning to her while that bitch passed me a winning smirk.

"Ahh..thanks for the compliment handsome man.."she smiled broadly but I felt nauseous looking at her

evil face.

"Sorry Sanyukta but I am borrowing your husband for some time because we have to discuss really important about our project that we can't do right here.."Livy said to me in a over dramatic manner.

"But Livy she is my wife so we can talk in front of her.."Randhir retorted .

"Yes..we can but there are lot of other people too and some of them are our rivels if you remember..so it's better if she stay here so that no one can guess what we are upto.."she put a considerable fact that he couldn't ignore but sighed in agreement.

"Sanyukta..I'll be right back till then enjoy your wine..hmm.."he said kissing my hairs.

They went away and I opened my phone gallery to see the pictures we had taken in the afternoon but the wife inside me wasn't ready to trust upon her husband's loyalty which was on a initial stage of having faith on her husband's colourful past.

I got up from my seat and followed the way they left the main hall.I hadn't to look around much as I found them talking in the dark corner of one of the balcony.

Randhir was leaning over the metal railing keenly listening to what Livy was saying .It was inaudible to me .My heart beat dropped when I saw no once else except the two talking very secretly.I was adamant to know the conversation that was going so I just stood behind an artificial huge plant .

But what I heard tore my heart into two pieces.

"Livy don't worry she will never come to know about this... Sanyukta is too innocent ..it isn't a tough task to make her fool.."he said this line to her .

My head started spinning and I was unable to stand upon my feet.His words were like molten mercury that someone just poured into my ears.

The cruel sting of betrayal hit it's target where it pains the most..my soul.My vision got blurred with fresh tears.In a second my world crashed down before I could believe that it wasn't a dream bur reality of my life.

I left the place not caring what people might think about me or what would be his reaction but this time I owned an explanation from him and he had to give all my answers.

I retired back to the suit and waited him to come back .I didn't wait for too long .I heard the door cracked open and an amused Randhir with worry lines on his forehead appeared in front of me.

"You left from the party.. without telling me or someone else..is everything alright..?"he asked striding over to me.

The last barrier of the volcano that was erupting inside me finally exploded and I sprang stood right in front of him.

"Ohh don't you fake your sweet gestures and talks to fool your innocent wife..Mr. Shekhawat.."I mocked giving him a disgusted glare.

"Are you over drunk.. Sanyukta..?"he said in a puzzled lace tone.

"Randhir stop playing with words and tell me if you want to keep your past life alive then allow me to walk out of your life.."I spatted on him.

"Sanyukta..mind your words..you're spilling shits.."he said as calmly as he could but I noticed his knuckles turning white.
