Let's continue...
Abheek fastly held hand of Ruhani while saying let's go I will explain you everything inside room and started to pull her through lobby along with him.
When after two to three steps Ruhani tried to turn, he fastly held her hand more firmly and said no, no don't turn otherwise she will doubt us. Just walk straight.
Ruhani was walking with him like a lost puppy. They both reached his room. Quick in he said.
No,way I am not going inside said Ruhani in afraid tone.
She is looking at us, enter inside. This is just matter of sometime.
After that he grabbed her hand's, pulling her into room. Please quick in. He whispered his eyes locked on her's. He entered behind her and looked the room.
As they entered inside, Ruhani turned to Abheek, what was that all about?  She demanded with little hope in her eyes.
But Abheek shrugged, his eyes sheepish. 
I had to think fast.
He said his voice defensive.
Ruhani crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with annoyance.
You had to think fast? By telling her that we are married. 
Abheek nodded, his eyes avoiding her's. 
It was the only way to get rid of her.
Ruhani's face fell, her hopes crumbled.
To aapne hamara istemaal kiya. Aapko kisi ki feelings se koi fark nahi padta na.
( So, you used me. You are not bothered by anyone's feelings.)
She whispered, her voice trembling.
Abheek sighed, his shoulders sagging. I had already told you to not expect anything. I said that to protect myself.
Ruhani's eyes filled with tears, her body shaking with sobs.
To aapne apni jaan bachane ke liye hamari jaan le li.
(So you took mine life to save your own life.)
Abheek reached out, his hands hovering over her shoulders, but she pushed him away, her palm flat on his chest.
Don't touch me! She spat. Her eyes flashing.
Abheek heart sank,  his mind reeling with a mix of emotions. He felt stinging sensation in his chest, as if her words has pierced him. The pain of her rejection was palpable, like a heavy weight pressing down on him.
He felt a surge of regret, wishing he could take back his words, if his words has hurted her. Wishing he had been more thoughtful, more considerate. He wanted to reach out, to comfort her, to apologize but her words Hung in air like a barrier, a reminder that he had crossed the limit.
He felt helpless unable to fix the hurt he has caused, unable to erase the pain from her eyes.
He stood there frozen, unable to move, unable to speak, as his wife cried infront of him. Internally he was feeling like a failure.
After sometime Ruhani composed herself and said with concern in her eyes have you even thought what would happen, if she told someone tomorrow morning that we are married?
