Three weeks later......

Kritika's relationship with Atharv's family has improved except for his father. She had created some bond which was not extremely pleasing but at least she didn't feel suffocation there.

With her own husband they were on the same page till now some days they fight for each other somedays they fight with each other. But none of them took a step to improve their relationship because they didn't want to sort up things all they want is revenge which will quench the thirst for their ego.

It's been three weeks since Kritika joined her job. This helped her a lot to get distracted while spending less time at Shekhawat's place. She was a little relaxed. They almost had zero communication during these weeks. Usually he would come later from his office till then she was already asleep.But relaxation is short lived in this story.

Kritika was at her university in the staff room when a colleague of her informed her about the new headlines everywhere which was announcement of the date of election for the State's chief minister.

Although she was not much in politics, she knows it really well that her family and her in-laws had a record of defaming each other's parties. This time it is going to be more critical as she is married to her father's rival family.

She doesn't want to get pissed off in all this but she has no option left to bear it. She doesn't want to stay at her in-laws'side but she will not even choose her own father.

After getting done with her lectures in college, she made her way to Shekhawat mansion. She had just reached the hall side when Aditya and Palak reached there.

Palak spoke, " Bhabhi aap bor nahi ho gaye wo apne college se ghar aur ghar se college ke routine mein bor nahi ho gaye".
Kritika spoke, " Palak ye mera profession hai students ko padhana aur is mein bor hone ki kya baat hai ".

Aditya murmured under his breath, " Bhaiya 2.0 in the female version ". Kritika raised her eyebrows and asked, " kuch kaha tumne ? ". Aditya spoke, " Wo to mein keh raha tha ki hume kahi bahar jaana chahiye aaj raat ko, hai na palak ? ".

Palak nodded for yes in response while mischievously grinning at Kritika's side.
Kritika said in a polite tone, " Tum dono chale jaao mera mann nahi hai ".

Aditya said, " Aap bhi chaliye na ". Kritika said, " You both enjoy, I will join you some other time ". Aditya said, " Please na bhabhi please, baki to koi Ghar se humare sath chalne se raha aap rahoge to hume acha lagega, please na ".

Kritika sighed in defeat and said, " Okay, hum chal denge ghumne ke liye. Abhi ke liye mein jaa kar thoda rest kar lu aur mujhe kuch questions paper tayyar karne hai ".

Aditya and Palak both nodded and Kritika left for her room. Then Atharv arrived there, Palak looked towards with with twinkling eyes and spoke in a sweet voice, " Bhaiya ".

Atharv spoke in a nonchalant manner, " Bhaiya ghumne jaana hai aaj kahi bahar chale kya ? ". Atharv pointed towards Aditya and said , " Usse le jao ". Palak said , " Bhaiya hum sab chalte hai na please , aap mere liye itna to kar hi sakte ho na ".

Atharv looked at Palak's puppy eyes and said , " Acha thik hai. Ab jyada drama nahi karna ". Atharv left from there and Palak gave a hifi to Aditya. Ignoring the hifi, he said , " Aur bhi kaam hai mujhe, raaste se hato mere ". With a done look on her face , palak also left from there.

Time skips...........

Kritika and Palak reached downstairs while Aditya was already there. Atharv also walked in the same direction while wearing his wrist watch.
