Married to Him ✔

Chapter - 27

Arshita

Sitting beside me, he pulled the pillow at his back and adjusted it, and then leaned into it and crossed his legs smiling idiotically.

" That's why I didn't wear my shoes back. I knew you would want me more. " He chuckled.

You just spoiled the whole thing.

I stared at him and when he shrugged. I showed him my teeth teasingly.

" What? "

I looked away and hoped him to really go away now, just because of his behaviour. How sombre and full of emotions I got but his little actions swept it off me in a blink.

" Nothing. " I muttered looking on the bed.

" Oh I understand. But I don't like us so sad and silent, your bubbly nature works well with me. " He smiled and I looked at him in anger.

" So what was it? Tell me like it's not a big deal so that we can solve it with ease you know. " He said moving his hand and rolling his eyes a lot.

" It's a big deal! That's why I am sad. You don't laugh off at things that changes you and it's reminder just freak you up to scream at people.. Or.. Ot people like you. " I said and literally screamed at the end.

" Whoa! Whoa! WHOA! Arshita, calm down." He said and blew air gesturing me to do the same. He went on until I didn't joined him.

"I was trying to cool you. You know I don't make fun of important things. Sorry but now I am listening. " He said slowly.

I turned and wrapped my hands around my legs and began to swing.

"Now I don't feel like saying. " I said thinking over the things I wanted to talk to him.

"What do you feel like doing? We will do that together. " He said slowly, his voice so near and comforting.

"I feel like crying. " I said probably wetting my eyes as my vision blurred.

" Oh Why? " He moved closer to me and hugged me from side and I surprisingly hugged him back.

" I couldn't forget about Ronit. He had that amazing smile and compassion. Whenever that day comes in front of my eyes, I couldn't believe what he said to me but he did and I try to hate him instead I hate myself. " I sobbed.

Parting, I rubbed my eyes and said," You know I told my parents that he had his own dreams like me and we weren't achieving it together, so we.. Ended our relationship. Now I feel bad about lying it to them and I think they will hate me if I tell then the truth. "

" Family never hates, they love and when it's you no one can hate you. And if they know that Rohit left you why would they be angry with you? Not every relationship works. " He said.

" I know but I went against my family and came here with him. I thought they would get so angry to call me home back. I lied. I was so stupid and never took things seriously. Coming here with Ronit and earning myself was fun to me and it ended like that because I was.. Fool and silly. " I cried.

" I loved him so much. I still love him. We had great moments together. He used to bring me flowers, make me breakfast much better than me. We used to go out every weekend. I never saw anything but that day he counted me what he was missing. I never thought he had something in his head. I hate him. " I gritted my teeth closing my eyes.

" What happened? " He asked holding my hands.

" He said I got so involved in his life and we weren't going anywhere in life because of me. My silly behaviour which humiliated him in front of other people. You know once he loved me for that but later I became a shame. I was coming into his dreams! I was helping him and wasn't we together enough, loving each other? It was enough for me. " I started to yell and he patted my back to make me realise my pitch.

I took a deep breath and started slowly again," That was okay. I said I will change for him but he told me about some woman he liked who was fairly rich and sophisticated unlike me. 'We can't go on anymore Arshu. Let's give each other some time' He said and went away just that and never came back. "

I looked everywhere in the room thinking of the beautiful moments we had together here.

" Why I never thought of having another home, I don't know? This was what we got together. Why I am living here? Why? " I asked myself this I think millionth time but here I had him to yell at him.

" Because you don't let go of beautiful things and that's okay. But you need to stop thinking about him. You need to move on. " He said.

Move on? You never forget anything, the pain resides in your heart forever. It's just that we suppress it to burden us even more.

" Yes beautiful things. But I am remembering how he left now. " I said standing up and running to the hall and standing at the exact spot I stood that day.

"Arshita." He called me as I was standing in the place.

" This is the door from where he just went away, right from here you came in. And I... I was so shut to call him or yell at him. I stood here so silent, I wonder it was the first time that anyone made my mouth go shut and mind blank. Nothing came up, except what he said. I was an embarrassment, silly and stupid woman. Like I embarrassed you in that first dinner date. I turned the whole plate upon the dress. I think he was right. " I said to myself.

" No you were not. You weren't embarrassment to me Arshita and he was wrong of he said that to you. You never take it to your heart. " He said cuffing my cheek.

I took that in heart.

" I didn't yell at him or cursed him ever. I want to do it. " I said in my tears.

He gave me warm smile, rubbing my tears and said," That's what you do. You yell and curse and let it go. You don't give a s**t to what people say or think about you. "

I smiled at him and said," Yeah I was before he left me and he changed me as he went away. "

" But I liked the earlier version more. She wasn't only beautiful and sexy but cute and very witty and funny. Common curse and yell it off. " He said excitedly.

"You are right. Curse and yell it off! Ronit is a Bastard! RONIT IS A ASSHOLE! I WILL KILL HIM ONCE HE COMES BEFORE ME. RONIT BEWARE!" I yelled rounding madly.

It felt good. Well good is an understatement, it felt divine. I went on telling and shouting like a madwoman while he was he watched me do it.

What?

I stopped and stood like a rock as another thought came up in my mind.

What if he leaves me after watching me like this?

I looked at him and he smiled at me, happily? Was he happy watching me act mad?

I walked and sat on the sofa and looked down.

" What happened now? " He came and whispered to me.

" I am thinking how will I tell mom and dad about it. They must know why he left me. " I said to him.

" They must know what he did to you, not why he left you because his reasons were absurd. And if you want your brother to kick that stupid Ronits a*s so hard then you shall tell what he said to you. " He said and laughed.

His positivity!

" You think my parents won't be angry with me after what I did to them?" I asked him.

" They would be but not for long. Not after that they shall love you more. " He said smiling warmly.

" I should call them now. " I stood up to get my phone, searching it everywhere.

" It's four in the morning. Do you want to scare them? " He said following me to the bedroom.

I looked back to find him lean on the door." Oh! I forgot it's too late like you."

" Yup! " He said staring me.

So what now?

I was so sure he too thought that and the meanwhile, the silence persisted.

" I think I must leave now. We need to go to office too. " He said walking past me to pick his things again.

" Well it's already late. You can stay and sleep in the sofa if you like. " I said sitting on the edge of the bed.

" Sofa! Will do, thank you. " He said looking at me for a while.

I took out the extra sheet and pillow and gave it to him. He stared me, then walked a bit towards the hall and again turned, ran his hand through his hair looking at me and then went out for good.

You are a gentleman!

I looked at the blank thinking about him before I slept myself, peacefully. Even the fact of him being in the same house didn't made it awkward and I slipped into a sound sleep.

••

Turning on my bed, I heard few hustles. Slightly opening my eyes, I found the room still dark. There was still time for the office.

But noises?

Armaan must be using washroom.

I slept again covering myself with the blanket. Little later again, I opened my eyes to find the room dim.

Why was sun taking time to wake up today?

I turned and opened my phone to find it was 8:30. How the hell my room didn't light up due to sunshine?

Slipping from the bed, I walked to the window to find them shut. Of course, it must be him.

Walking out of the bedroom, I looked for him in the hall them to the dinning room. I heard the water flowing through the sink. Washroom door was open.

Are you even at home?

As I put my feet inside and turned to my right, I found him standing in front of the mirror in towel so, so down his waist.

Lift little bit up!

He probably found himself home and took towel and stuff, and showered. And now he was standing in front of mirror only in towel, showing me his wide tanned back and the shoulder blades flexing as he rubbed his hair. Looking up the shoulder, to his arms the muscles tensed and relaxed giving a amazing manly outlook. His messed hair dripped water and I didn't want to see where it was flowing.

He is damn hot and sexy.

I breathed to calm myself when he turned to give me a glimpse of his chest and four packs and the view of the abdomen. I looked at his face to find his lips curved up sideways. I looked down again gasping at the handsome man and put my hand over my eyes.

" Oh please, I saw you intend mirror checking me out. Thought if giving you front view. " He chuckled.

Not at all gentleman!

" So did you like it? " He laughed a bit.

I peeked from between my fingers and found him smiling. I turned and rushed out immediately.

" Did you like it? Yeah, five out of five." I mumbled to myself and sat in the edge of bed to let him finish first.

After a ten minutes, I heard him say aloud,"You can get ready while I am sitting here in the hall. "

I rushed to the bathroom to get ready for the office. After bathing, I thoroughly scanned the bedroom before entering it.

I chose a dress for office and dresses myself. When I was making my nasty hair, he came and stood in the door leaning over it.

He was wearing different suit than the night one and I could smell his special perfume, what?

" You are dressed in a different clothes? " I said.

" Yeah, I called my Manger in the morning and asked him to bring me some stuff here. " He said.

What?

" Great! Now someone found you here in my home announcing that you stayed the night." I turned furiously to him.

" That's family manager so he is family, and he knows things. Don't worry! " He sang to me.

Don't worry?!

" Brush your hair Arshita! " He gestured. I looked at my hand with a comb still in the Web of my hair.

I began to brush my hair. When I was lost done with the liner and applying lip gloss, he said," So you talk to your parents then we head to office, happy happy. "

I almost forgot that I was supposed to do it. Putting my lip gloss down, I took my phone and stepped towards him.

" Your lips? "

I rolled my eyes. This wasn't the time.

"Why are you being partial to the lower lip? He giggled.

I looked at him confused," What you mean? "

" No lipstick in the lower lip. "

Oh,

OH

" Okay. " I said before to rubbing the both lips together. He gestured that it was fine before we sat on the sofa to call mom.

I stared at the phone then at him.

" Go ahead! " He said.

I nodded and opened the call logs but before I could call mom, she called me.

" It's mom. " I said horrified.

" That's better. Pick up! " He said smiling.

I picked up the call and said," Mom. "

" Arshu! " Raunak bhaiya said on the other side quietly.

"Bhaiya! How are you?" Piya I asked him happily.

" I am fine. How are you? " He sounded so sad.

" What happened bhaiya? " I asked him.

" Come home fast! " He said.

" What happened? How are Mom and dad and dadu? " I asked, worried.

" They are fine. " He said.

" Then chachu and chachi and Aarushi? "

" Everyone is okay but you are coming home by tomorrow. Don't worry just come soon. " He said.

" Okay. " I said and ended the call.

" What's wrong? " Armaan asked me looking worried.

" There is something wrong bhaiya isn't telling me. I need to go home now. " I said and stood you to pack my stuffs.

" Okay. Don't worry! I am booking the plane tickets for us. " He said and began to surf on his phone.

I nodded at him and headed to my bedroom.

US?

I looked back at him. He was ready to go with me even. I stared at him. As he found me staring, he shook his head.

" You don't need to leave your work for me. " I said.

" I need to. Go get ready! " He said before talking to the o'er son on phone.

I smiled and at him and rushed to pack my stuffs.
