Hey guys!!!! It's been so long and I missed this book too much so hope you'll like this surprise. 

This Bonus Chapter is a remake of one of your favourite chapters. You'll know which one I'm talking about. Dive in

Kriti's POV

It had been a year since the fiasco with di had settled down. Sid and I have been closer then ever before. I woke up with the other side of my bed empty. Sid was finally coming back today. I couldn't believe how much I missed him. 

I couldn't go with him for his meeting in London because of my exams. It had been almost 10 days since I met him, hugged him, spoke to him peacefully. And that idiot, he didn't even call me last night. How could he? Let him come back, I'll show him what happens when you ignore your wife. 

I walked downstairs and greeted everyone good morning. They greeted me back, but something was off. I shrugged it off and picked up the newspaper. My eyes widened at the headline. 

Businessman Siddarth Ahuja spotted with Model Riddhi Mehra at the DROWN club last night. Trouble in paradise for Sid and Kriti?  

(PICTURE OF SID AND RIDDHI STANDING CLOSE TOGETHER WITH HER WHISPERING IN HIS EAR)

'Are you okay Kriti? Just trust him. These paparazzi have no job but to spread rumors' Bhabhi told me. 

'I do bhabhi, and I am completely fine. I'll just talk to him about it once he's back' I replied strongly. 

The went flew by and we were sitting at the dinner table when maa asked me what time 

'Talk of the devil' bhai said, his gaze at the door. I followed his gaze and couldn't help the wide smile that spread on my face. He grinned in return, hugging the twins as they ran upto him. 

Everyone followed suit, hugging and greeting him. 

'Hey wifeyyy' he said to me as I walked upto him. He hugged me tight and both of us breathed a sigh of relief. 

'Gods I missed you' he whispered into my hair. 

'I missed you more then I ever thought possible' I replied back into his chest and I could feel his smile.

Sam snickered as she said 'Awww, enough PDA guys, get a room' 

Everyone started laughing and Sid joined in. I blushed and hid my face in his chest. After breakfast everyone headed to do their work. Sid and I headed to our room to talk and unpack his bag. As we entered the room I suddenly remembered the news headline. 

'Sid' I called. 

'Yes princess' he said. 

'Did you go clubbing with Riddhi Mehra, yesterday?' I asked. 

'Yes, how did you-' he was saying when I cut him off. 

'The newspapers' 

'Don't the paparazzis have anything better to do' he groaned annoyed. 

'Why were you with her, you didn't even call me last night' I said annoyed at him. 

'Actually, she is the daughter of my client. She is handling the deal and she suggested we go for an event there. She said she would close the deal after the party. And it was very late in the night for me to call you love' he replied calmly. 

'Then why the hell was she sticking to you so much and whispering in your ear' I yelled angrily now. It was not that I didn't trust him. It was just that I knew the number of girls that swooned over him and didn't want to lose him to anyone. 

'Princess, the music was too loud and I couldn't hear her so she was shouting in my ear' he replied emphasizing on the shouting. I turned red, embarrassed that I was blaming him and he was calming me down. 

'Now give me, just half an hour I'll freshen up and then we can do whatever you want love' he said with a bright contagious smile before heading to the washroom. I settled on the bed with a book as I waited for him. 

I heard his phone ringing and decided to ignore it. A while later I decided to order some pastries and used his phone to order it online. 

Just then he received a message from Riddhi. I can't wait for you to be back here for a month, I loved the time we spent together last night. 

Whattttttttt the hell. I couldn't control the tears anymore. In my anger, I decided to go out to the party my batchmates were at. The one I decided to skip because I wanted to spend time with my husband. Guess he prefers this Riddhi girl's company so why should I stay here and bother him. 

I quickly got dressed in a gorgeous red one-piece I had bought last month and headed out. I got in my car and drove to the venue in the invite. I reached RAVE, one of the best pubs in Mumbai, and got in with my invite. 

I spotted various known faces in the crowd that danced together. I felt so much better with all the music and people that surrounded me. He didn't want me. Fine, I didn't want him either. 

With that thought, I didn't realize the number of shots I downed. I kept dancing with my friends and acquaintances. This actually felt good. 

Would Sid be worried about me?

Is he looking for me? 

No, why would he, he's too busy with his Biddhi Viddhi whatever her name is. He would probably be chatting with her and wouldn't have even realized my absence. 

The last thought angered me even more. I walked back to the bar and downed a couple of more shots. I felt dizzy but I ignored it and turned back to the dance floor. Before I could walk though, I was thrown over a well-built man's shoulder. I started shouting and kicking, but he held my feet and the music drowned out my shrieks. As we stepped out of the pub, the music softened. 

'My husband will kill you' I shouted at the strange man. 

'Actually no he won't, he will just thank you because he will now be able to stay with his new girl, that Viddhi Biddhi whatever' I said replying to my own statement. 

'Put me down' I said kicking him once again when I felt his hold on my legs loosen. He seemed to hesitate for a minute before he actually put me down. 

I saw his face. Shit, It was Mr. Idiot. 

'Mr. Idiot, you?' I asked surprised. 

'Who else?' he asked, anger clear in his voice. 

'Shouldn't you be too busy chatting with that girl and planning your trip together instead of looking for me' I said with tears pouring out of my eyes. 

He pinched his nose as though he was controlling himself. 

'Get in the car' he said. I crossed my arms over my chest rebelling against him. 

'No' 

'In. Now Kriti, unless you want me to get angrier then I already am' he said with a steady soft voice that sent chills down my back. I got in without another word. We drove in silence before he stopped the car at our spot. 

'Ice-cream' I shouted at usual with a bright smile at him. 

'I'm guessing you want your regular order princess' he said and I nodded excitedly like a baby. He just laughed my face before he stepped out of the car, locking it once again to ensure I stayed inside. I just huffed at him and crossed my arms as I waited for him to return. 

He got back with his boring Vanilla ice-cream and my cookies and cream and double chocolate ice-cream with all my favourite toppings.

'Why did you lock me inside. Do I look like a child to you? I know how to handle myself' I told him irritatedly. He looked at me, turned the mirror to my face that was already messed up after the one bite of ice-cream I'd had. I blushed a little, embarrassed that I was proved wrong.

 After that, he drove the car to another one of our spots. It was a family cabin a little away from the city. It had a transparent ceiling and we loved to star-gaze in the quiet there. By then, I had finished my ice-cream and cleared my face. 

'Why-' I started talking, intent on arguing with him. 

'Shut up, just shush. I don't want to fight with you today. I missed you so much. Just shush and enjoy my company, we'll sort all of this tomorrow morning. Okay?' he said softly pulling me closer to him by the waist. I was so lost in his eyes that I agreed, not knowing what I had agreed to. He smiled and kissed my forehead before dragging me into the house. Both of us got into comfy night wear and into bed. We quietly looked the stars in the sky and fell asleep cuddling. 

---The Next Morning---

I woke up to find the side of my bed empty yet again. I groaned as I recollected everything that happened last night. 

'Morning love' he greeted me with a smile, as he walked in with breakfast. 

'Morning' I replied greedily looking at the food. He laughed as he noticed me licking my lips before he placed the tray in my lap. I started wolfing down food like a starved woman and he joined me, having some of it like a decent human being. After we finished eating and I had a dolo to calm down my headache he finally brought up last night. 

'Kriti why did you do that?' he asked me and I knew he was being serious. He wouldn't have used my name otherwise. 

'Why do you care?' I replied back defiantly.

'Tell me' he said with a stern look on his face. 

'I read about your 1 month travel plans' I replied realizing that there was no point prolonging it. 

'I see and what did you think the plans were?' he asked. 

'You and your new girlfriend enjoying together in London' I said honestly. 

'Kritika Siddarth Ahuja, how can you even think I could like any girl other then you. I can't listen to any other girl blabber nonsense for more then 3 minutes, whereas I listen to all your rubbish all the time. I can't look at any other girl cause they don't hold a candle to you. I can't think of any other girl cause you have made a permanent place there. How can I think about someone else when I am constantly thinking about you? And my heart, it only beats as long as you are there with me. I'm sure, I will die the day you die' he said. 

'Shut up, how can you even talk about death' I said slapping him for even thinking in that direction. 

'That's all you heard?' he looked at me like I was an antique piece. I hugged him tight not knowing what to say. 

'And about that trip, you're coming with me. We're going with Riddhi and her husband to finalize a land in London for the next project' he told me. 

'Couldn't you tell me that' I said whacking him on his arm, upset that I fought with him for no reason. 

'I would've if you asked me instead of childishly running away' he said with a raised eyebrow. 

'I'm sorry' I said. 

'You should be. And what did we decide about you drinking?' he said with a stern look. 

'I'm sorry bubba. I was angry and I wasn't thinking straight. I won't do something like this again' I said feeling guilty about my behaviour. 

'It's fine and you better not repeat it' he said warning me and I nodded. 

'I love you' 

'I love you' I said closing the distance between us and kissing him. I really really missed him these last few days.
