It's been a year since things are going smooth. Day by day Devi's feeling are growing stronger for Ritik. Everyone knows about how deeply Devi loves Ritik. But nobody knows what's in Ritik's mind.

He is completing his every duty but when it comes to his feelings he himself doubt, whether e love his wife or not. Everytime Devi try to come close to him and try to work out their relationship truly, he always push her away.

Without caring about how brutally he is hurting her feeling. Ira always supported Devi but day by day Devi is losing her hope of getting her husband's love. She is losing hope that one day he will give her every right to be his wife, his partner, his soulmate and his love.

She is all sad but never showed it to anyone. She always share everything with Ira and she too feel bad for her bestie.

Anirudh and Yamini never interfere in their matter as they know it is Devi and Ritik who are going to live with each other. So they have to sort everything by themselves.

On the other hand Anuj, Agastya, Devi and Ira become too close that Shreya and Swara feel too bad. They always try to interfere in their friendship. But four of them don't even give a shit about them.

Devi only feel good around them. Both Kumar brothers try their level best to always cheer her up. They still don't know about Devi's marriage. No one in campus knows about it. Unknowingly Agastya came too close to Devi.

He start to love her but never told her about his feelings. But she was unaware about it. Both of them was most likely because their nature and hobbies was almost same.

Everybody was in campus, Devi, Anuj, Ira and Agastya was in park.

But this time it was a bit different from all the time. Some things was odd in all this. Both Kumar brothers was gesturing each other continuously.

" Why you guys are behaving weird today?" Ira asked.

" It's bhai who is weirdo not me." Anuj said with full of confidence.

" Agastya, say something." Anuj gesture him.

" Devi, I need your help will you?" Agastya said nervously. He was playing with his fingers. Devi nodded and Agastya got up. He forward his hand to her. She accepted it gladly. Ira and Anuj was looking at them. Ira cross her fingers.

"Agav what's it You're looking nervous? Devi said. Gathering all his courage he sat on his on knee and forward a red rose.

" Devi from a long time I realized that I fell for you. My heart beats for you. I love you Devi. Will you be my girlfriend?" Agastya looked at her with hope. Devi was froze at her spot. It was too unexpected for her.

But there was someone who was watching it with anger. Ritik was searching for Ira when he saw all this. Ritik feel like punching on his face who dare to propose his wife in front of college.

He was angry marching towards them, he hold Devi's hand and pulled her with him. Devi was so confuse, he keep pulling her with him towards his cabin. Entering his cabin he lock the door and push her on wall. He was looking in her eyes with anger.

" Why didn't you deny him?" Ritik gritting his teeth.

" I......I........." She was scared by his behaviour, his actions was all different. He is sweet and fun loving person but the person infront of her was totally different.

" Don't you dare to, you are here for education not for these things ....... mind that!" His voice was stern. He was so much into anger that he didn't realize, she was shivering badly.

Tears was rolling from her eyes. His grip was hurting her. A painful hiss escape from her mouth. He realized there position loosing his grip he slam the table.

She quickly took the chance and escape. In anger Ritik kick the near table. All students were shocked by Ritik's behavior as he is most calm and patient professor among all professors.

Devi couldn't take more so she avoid everyone and went home. Both Anuj and Agastya was confused and worried at same time. Ira ran behind Devi. But Anuj stopped her.

"Leave me, she is hurt." Ira said when her eyes express the feeling of worry and care for her friend.

"She need sometime alone, let her be alone." Anuj said calming her down.

"But she....." Ira was about to say something.

" She need time to heal Ira please." Anuj said caressing her back. Ira hummed at his words. Both looked at Agastya who was loss in his own thoughts.

Both was worried for Devi and Agastya. But they can't do anything as it's not in there hand.

Ritik entered in his house only to find Ira and Yamini sitting on couch while glaring at him angrily. Ritik came forward.

" Devi didn't came out from her room, she came in afternoon crying hard." Yamini said which made Ritik upset and angry on himself.

" And she is crying from afternoon." Ira added, Ritik know he messed up very bad. He took his bag and went to his room. Yamini and Ira looked at each other and smiled a little.

" Will she forgive him? What you think?" Yamini asked to Ira.

" I know my bestie very well." Ira smirks.

Ritik entered in room but he didn't saw Devi. He search all places but didn't saw her. His forehead covered with sweat he was getting afraid. He was about to go but he heard a faint sob from somewhere.

He looked back and try to hear it carefully from where the sound was coming from. He ahead towards the study table and bend down. Devi was curved like a ball hugging her knees to her chest.

Her hairs were messy and eyes were red and swallow due to continuous crying. Ritik feel hurt after seeing this condition of his wife.

" Devi...." He softly called her name. But she didn't looked at him. She was angry and she has right to get angry on him. He did something like that.

" I know you are angry on me." Ritik came towards her but Devi moved back. He bend more and sat beside her. She gulp down her saliva.

" I promise your mom that you will never become sad, that I'll not allow tears to form in your eyes." Ritik chuckled and looked down.

" And now look I made you cry." Ritik said and he try to hold her hand but she pulled back her hand.

Ritik felt hurt but it was also true that he hurt her more by his actions.

" It's ok if you won't forgive me, I did something which can't be forgiven." Tears form in his eyes. Devi looked at him she saw those tears. She was about to say something.

" I know I was the one who said if you love someone than also I will support you. But......." Ritik didn't know how to say this to her. But he have to otherwise he will loss her. He looked in her eyes and taking a deep breath.

" I start to l.........love you." Ritik said and close his eyes. Devi was shocked by sudden confession. She didn't know what to say. Her mouth was little opened.

" I don't know from when and how but I start loving you as.......... as a wife." Ritik finally opened his eyes only to find her shock.

" Devi please." A tear escape from her eyes. All these things was too much for her. Whenever she thinks her life is doing good, something happen like this which broke her completely.

Even a stone broke when water keeps hitting it, than she is just a human being. With emotions and feelings.

" Devi I know you need time and........" Ritik word's was cutted by Devi's shout.

" Shut up !!" He looked at her. Tears were rolling from her eyes.

" What do you think of yourself Mr. Desai? " He was silent.

" I'm not a toy so you can play whenever you feel to." She gritted her teeth. Her breathing is getting heavier.

" First you was the one who told me not to expect anything from you now you are the one who is confessing love. " She turn to other side not want to show her tears to him.

" No Mr. Desai you did a favour by marrying a middle class girl and educating her in such a luxurious college. Thank you for it." Devi said her tone was bitter.

She was feeling so much hurt. Now this was the time when she want to throw each and every wound feeling from her heart.

" I'll try to return your favour Sir." She said those last words in loud tone to made him realized that. The person in front of is only his student not his wife.

She went out without turning back. As soon as she step out she burst.All over the night Ritik was thinking about Devi. She slept in Ira's room. Both didn't sleep for a moment. Both were sad and hurt. Ira feel sad for her but at last she decide to make their relationship work.

.

.

.

Days pass like this Ritik apologize to Devi in front of everyone for his behaviour. He lie, didn't want to let everyone know they are married. He cooked up some excuse but Devi was on the eye of everybody in campus due to Ritik's questionable act.

Nobody dare to question him but everyone was badmouthing about her. Shreya and Swara always try to backlash her. Devi kept distance from everyone. Ira  was always there for her but she didn't open up even to her.

In this days she isolate herself from world. Neither she cry neither she burst her angry out. Deep inside she was choking her own self with depression and anxiety. Sometimes she used to go to her parents house

. But she never talk to her parents about her messed up life. Agastya too isolate himself. He keep on cursing himself for his stupidity. Things keep on messing between Devi and Ritik.

Ritik got busy due to finale exams. He often came late and leave at early morning. During the lectures also Ritik notice the absence of concentration of her.

But thinking about it will create more problem for her in campus he stay quiet. But it is also true that he was worried for her. She was ignoring both her peace of mind and health.

She often used to skip her meals and spend sleepless nights thinks about all mess which her fate has create in her life. There was a little hope in her heart but it all broke with her heart. Her dreams, hope, love, everything shuttered into pieces.

In this time her in laws support her from the core of their heart. The try to solve the problem between them but it all went in vain. Both Ritik and Devi were stubborn to listen to them.

Soon the finale were going to start. Ritik was worried for Devi as her marks were keep on falling down. He was tense about her future. At this point both thought their relationship will not workout.

Should they decide to apart their paths?
