After the argument with Abhay, I made the conscious decision not to engage in further conflict. He had been there for Raha during her tough times, and I couldn't deny that. I didn't want to give him more reasons to believe that I didn't care about her, although the truth was quite the opposite.

I replied to him with a composed tone, "Alright, I won't meet her." Abhay left the room after my statement, and I watched him as he headed to Raha's room, undoubtedly to check on her.

Feeling a mix of emotions, I decided to retreat to my own room. The tension between Abhay and me was palpable, and I needed some time alone to gather my thoughts and emotions. My thoughts were consumed by Raha, and even though I wanted to resist my feelings for her, I couldn't help but be drawn to her.

As the smoke from my cigarette curled into the night sky, I couldn't shake the overwhelming feeling of frustration and longing. Abhay was in there with Raha, taking care of her, making sure she was safe. My decision to stay away from her had never been more agonizing.

My thoughts raced back to that fateful day when Raha entered my life as my wife. At first, I saw her as an annoyance, an unwanted presence. I had no intentions of letting her disrupt my life.

But she had a way of getting under my skin, of challenging me with her stubbornness and her fiery spirit. And as much as I tried to deny it, I couldn't help but be drawn to her. Her laughter was like music, her presence like a gentle breeze in a suffocating room.

I took another drag of the cigarette and exhaled, watching the smoke dissipate into the night. It was the only way I could clear my mind, even for a moment. The images of Raha's face, her eyes filled with vulnerability and fear, haunted me.

I knew that I had to keep my distance from her, for her own safety and mine. My anger towards Abhay, fueled by my suspicions, was one thing, but my growing feelings for Raha were another. It was a battle I couldn't afford to lose, especially now that Shivansh was back in the picture.

But as I sat there in the quiet of the night, I couldn't help but wonder if it was too late. Had Raha already managed to break through the walls I had built around my heart?

The next morning, I woke up to find that it was 6:00 AM. The thought of checking on Raha crossed my mind, knowing that it was likely the time when Abhay was still asleep. I wanted to see her without any conflict, and my intention was to quietly make sure she was alright and then leave.
