By now, Dipesh had finished his hard work and started handling competently Akshay's work in India, while Akshay finally had gone back to London.
Dipesh's motivation behind accepting the offer and his further hard work were to get more money so that along with daily bread and butter, he could also earn more for curing his cute beloved daughter Mitali.
He also thought that if Mohini insists on him having sexual intercourse with her, then with more money, he could take Mittu to some other Doctor.
However, he observed that on their next visit, Mohini had not insisted on it and there was a good improvement in Mitali's health. He felt a sigh of relief thinking that the ghost of her wanting a child with him must have left her head.
However, Maya had some other plans and Dipesh was unaware of it! Occasionally, Dipesh's parents and Dipika's parents would come and stay for a few days with the couple.
Kirankumar and Bhanugopal also regularly visited his house on weekends and played with Mitali. In their presence, Mitali played with more vigor. Dipesh handled the work given by Akshay so nicely that the managers thought of giving Dipesh a hike in salary and promotion.
Dipika's health was much better than before, but she had lost her libido. She had lost the desire to have sex.
Past few months, there was no single instance where Dipesh and Dipika could come together and spend a few moments of love together.
One day, in their bedroom Dipesh and Dipika tried to relive their initial years of marriage by watching a DVD of the marriage of their relative. Leaning on the bed, both watched how Dipika got down the stairs and how Dipesh's eyes were behind her.
Also, they watched their own marriage DVD multiple times. Also, they recalled how Dipika planned a kiss under the table. There were three photographs and a short VDO of that event but nowhere it could be seen in it about their under-the-table kiss. Dipesh slowly moved his hands to her belly and moved them toward her breasts.
Dipika responded to his advancements and further, they were on the verge of removing their clothes, and then Mitali started crying loudly. It took the next 2 hours to pacify her.
Later, they lost the will to make love.
During company project parties, due to Dipesh's best performance in the office and his good physique, a few female colleagues were eying on him and one of them offered him a one-night stand.
Dipesh refused. He was a strong opponent to extramarital affairs. Her name was Mandakini. Though Dipesh rejected her offer, she was still hopeful that one day she would lure him.
Very few in his office knew about Mitali's disease. Only Jyoti and a few others.
Dipesh used to share everything with Jyoti. He also used to tell her about their married life which was going through trouble these days.
But the word of mouth spread, and Mandakini thought that she can take advantage of this.
But Dipesh was solid like a rock when it came to principles and beliefs.
