Deepak pulled her closer to him, with her one hand on his chest and the other hand on his arm, and she continued to struggle. Deepak kissed her on her cheek. “Thank you, Roshni, for everything.”
She was enraged and looked at him very sternly, “What are you doing? You have no right to kiss me or hold me. Let me go.”
They noticed the door was open, and Deepak let her go while Roshni locked the door and faced him. “Deepak, please…don’t you remember the agreement we had? I noticed you being romantic with me on this trip. Why? Why are you toying with my emotions when your wife is in the US?” She was very agitated with Deepak.
Deepak came to her. “Roshni, how many times do I have to tell you? I have no wife in the US.”
“Okay, maybe not wife, but you do have a girlfriend there, don’t you?”
Deepak lost his temper. “No, I do not have a girlfriend!” he emphasized to her.
“You’re lying.”
A bomb fell on Deepak. He could not take this anymore. He held her arms tightly with both hands, and he shook her. “Roshni, I have no girlfriend or wife in the US. You are my wife. Don’t you understand? How many times have I told you?” He noticed he was hurting her, and slowly he released her.
Roshni, with tears in her eyes, looked at him. She felt miserable and irritated. “You are lying.” She repeated, “You are lying. I do not trust you. I do not trust you.” She unlocked the door and walked out of the room.
Deepak stood there looking in her direction. No matter what he tried, he was not successful. “Roshni, I do not have a wife or a girlfriend in the US? You are my wife! What should I do to establish this truth?”
His monologue continued, “I enjoy being with you, talking to you, and I want to spend every moment with you. I do not know what this is called, but if this is love for you, then…then…I am in love with you, Roshni. How can I convince you? What should I do to prove that I am reliable and dependable?”
He interlaced his fingers. “I am lost. Please help me.” He looked up, hoping for a miracle. He’d tried to express his feelings. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t listen.

Everybody was waiting for Deepak and Roshni at the dining table, and Kusum bhabhi called for Roshni to help her with some chores.
Deepak was shocked. Roshni, where is she? She went downstairs, but bhabhi is looking for her. Oh my god! Where is she? He panicked, not knowing where she went.
Deepak came down and asked bhabhi where Roshni was, and Kusum answered that she hadn’t seen her. He looked for her everywhere.
Sashank came in and saw Deepak in a panic. “Deepak, what’s wrong?”
“Roshni, bhaiya, she came down being very upset, and we are unable to locate her.”
“I just saw her outside; she was in a hurry. She mentioned she had to go to her babuji’s house and left.”
Deepak sighed. At least she would be safe at her babuji’s house. He went back to his room and completed the chores he had started; then joined everybody at the table.
He did not want to have lunch without Roshni. He was upset, and Kusum noticed the tension on his face. She came to Deepak. “Deepak, why are you so worried? She just went to her babuji’s house. Maybe Ravi and his wife are there to clean. Don’t worry, she’ll be back.” She tried to calm him.
Deepak was unable to rest. “Bhabhi, I am not sure…” He continued after a pause, “Why don’t I go and bring her back. You all have lunch, please.”
“No, Deepak, you’re leaving today. Last night you both went out to dinner, and I did not stop you, but today you have to eat with us. I am sure Roshni will be back by the time we start our lunch.”
“Bhabhi, please try to understand,” he pleaded.
“Okay, let me call her,” Kusum said.
Roshni recognized Kusum didi’s number and picked up the call. “Hello, didi.”
“Hello, Roshni, Deepak does not want to have his lunch without you. Can you come home, please?”
“Didi, ask him to eat, I will be here for some time. I have to take care of a few things here.”
Deepak grabbed the phone from bhabhi. “Roshni, what are you doing? Why did you have to go there now?”
He was troubled to see her go and was irritated at her behavior. Roshni was so ticked off she hung up on him.
