Married to Him ✔

Chapter 15

Song suggestion : shape of you by Ed Sheeran

Arshita

Few whispers that reached my ear irritated me as I moved in my bed. The extra soft, extra smooth and extra bouncy!

This isn't mine.

Mine is in earth. Thus feels like heaven.

Heaven?

Crash? I died already.

I began steering on the heavens bed. Yes! I was feeling very lonely yesterday, the way I usually felt but it doesn't meant I was ready to die.

Ronit's face cane in front of my eyes and I almost cried watching him.

I can't die without slapping him on the face. I haven't even cursed him properly.

I forced my eyes to open but something wasn't allowing it. Maybe I am really dead but my soul is still inside my dead body. That's not possible.

Trying hard I finally opened it to take a calming breath. I am not dead and cam slap him. I will slap him to not regret at my death bed.

I will surely slap him. Him?

Him?

What was he doing near me?

His head popped before me and I looked at him in horror. I wanted to slap Ronit but I found him to slap. He gave me 440 volt smile and I got the opportunity to hear his amused voice.

"How are you feeling now Arshita? "

I tried to sit up but my head pained and I dropped myself in the soft bed again squeaking in pain.

" Not so well! " He commented catching my hand and making me sit up without any effort.

" What am I doing here? " I said looking around remembering his room and this was where I was sleeping. In my bosses bed!

" You were playing in here! " He said sarcastically but there was something in the word playing.

" You met with an accident so I brought you here yesterday. " He said in an obvious tone next.

"Okay." I muttered and looked down.

What?

What the hell !

"Where are my clothes? " I literally yelled at him.

" You were soiled so we changed you!" He said nonchalantly sitting in the sofa.

"Why? How could you? " I yelled much louder this time. Anger conquering me.

" Don't panic! By we I mean Navya and our maids who are ladies helped you. " He chuckled.

Better but..

" Still!" I mumbled to myself.

How can someone watch me bare! Oh! That's so...

" Would to like to have tea or coffee in bed?" He asked me.

It was ages that someone asked me this while I was in bed. Oh!

"No. " I said and stood just next to the bed. The clothes I was wearing were kind of night dress.

" Where are my clothes? " I asked him straightening my dress," And my cars key! "

" It's getting washed and you can't go now. " He said and stood before me.

" Why can't I go? " I yelled again. I was going to be fired from my job.

" Your car broke down! " He laughed a bit.

Not again! Why only my car? No.

He laughed again." This isn't funny at all. My car went abnormal again. "

He laughed again," I know. I know. But it's your tendency to think and say them and then again think a lot. I ain't getting over it still. "

My mouth got shut and really I went to my wonderful land. Why this?

" I need to get going. " I mumbled and headed in the direction that I knew exited his bedroom.

" Not now. Why don't you get fresh here? Eat something then I will drop you home. " He suggested and I shook my head in denial.

" Navya kept clothes for you in there already. " He pointed the washroom door. That was so sweet of her but it would have been better if I saw her instead of him when I opened my eyes.

" Okay. " I said and walked to the direction he pointed. His bathroom was triple my room and of course so,so very scenic. I refrained from looking all around to double the time of getting myself cleaned and concentrated on the stuff placed on the chair which looked womanly.

Picking up the toiletries, I headed to the large mirror shinning like a diamond. My fingers went up to touch and really it was making that sound showing it was so clean. My bathroom mirror had something whitish layer in it which I couldn't manage to clean daily.

I looked myself properly. I had a thick bandage on my head else I was fine. No scratches anywhere else.

Cleaning my teeth, I looked at his shower and without wondering about it, I took bath and changed into Navya's clothes. I fitted into them like they were mine.

I looked around to find his expensive products properly arranged in the open cupboard and the marble beneath me shone. I loved big bathroom.

Forget it!

I strode out to find the room empty for the first time. Am i doing it again?

Yes I was. I began looking around,trying to know what kind of taste he had in music or the books he read. He had all kinds of novels that included Indian writers and English too. Running my fingers over the books, I reached to his desktop to find every wires properly arranged. Mine again made Web.

He was really ordered person or he had people's to arrange things for him.

I was looking into his big picture when I heard some unclear voices. I strutted towards the source as it would turn out to be awkward if they found me touching their things.

"She don't know the words like Thank you. She just snap you a lot! " He was telling it to someone.

Was he talking about me? No I don't do it.

" Oh! Really. She snaps you?! " Navya chuckled and I peeked out only to be found out by her.

" Hey! " I sang as if I haven't heard anything. Wait that wasn't about me even or was it?

" Hey Arshi! How are you feeling now? " She asked coming up to me.

" I am fine. " I said then added," Thank you everything. "

She giggled and looked back at him who showed her his white teeth." Actually he brought you here and took care of you. "

" Oh! Okay. " I blurted and looked everywhere else then them.

What was wrong with me? Was I still angry with what he did yesterday? I had right to be angry after all.

" Okaaaay! " Navya said and holding my hands pulled me," You must be hungry really very hungry. Let's eat!"

I walked beside her and she led me to the dinning table. I sat in one of her chairs and she slipped next to me. A plate was kept before me and sandwiches and juice was passed.

"Are you this kind of water of that kind of eater?" Navya asked me pointing paratha and veggies.

I laughed before saying, " that kind of eater."

Her maids began putting my food I'm the plate and we took our breakfast. He wasn't eating with us for good.

" You drive with that speed?! " Navya exclaimed and I looked at her shyly.

I usually go out of my head!

" No. First time. " I said.

She smiled and said," It's totally fine but you almost killed a man in the scooter. "

" what? Is he hurt that bad? " I broke out. But how was I eating here, I must be surrounded by police officers then.

" Easy! That's how that man made it look like to people. Armaan told me how he thought of scavenging money after watching him carry you to his car. "

" Okay. " I mumbled quite relived then my bulb like head glowed," He carried me in his arms? "

" I don't think of any other immediate ways. " She chuckled.

Okay. That's okay.

We ate our food in silence later and after we were done, he showed up to offer me ride to home. I accepted because my car was, no wonder broke down. I looked at my broken watch thinking about mom and dad. It was always my first task of the day to call them and say I was fine but now I couldn't call because my phone discharged.

" You can have the day off! " He said amidst the silence.

For sure!

" Thank you sir! " I chirped. He chuckled.

" You are welcome Arshita! " He copied my chirp with more sway in them.

I side glanced him then we stayed silent for the rest of the ride. He stopped the car and motioned me that we are there.

Getting out of the car, I thanked him again remembering his judgement about my manners.

" You never invited me in! " He exclaimed and I just smiled at him.

" Yes? " He pushed and then came out of the car himself.

Don't you have some work to do like always?

" Oh! I have. " He said shocking me.

" You said that loud. " He explained coming over to me.

" I have work but little coffee won't do anything wrong. " He said and I nodded.

" Yeah sure. " I said as I walked ahead of him while he followed me. He stepped into the elevator before me and pressed some button. I entered and looked at the number three glowing.

He knew the floor.

Did I say it loud?

I looked back to find his lips curved from one end into a teasing smile. My mouth contorted at the thought that I always said aloud all the time and that's why he knew what was going on my head.

" So I always say aloud for you to know what goes in my head? " I said to him accusing.

He laughed before getting out of the elevator and waiting for me to come.

" No. It's not so often. Usually I guess and then your dumb expression prove me right. " He said between his smile.

Dumb expression?

I walked past him to open the door of the apartment. After opening, I entered and switched on the lights.

He looked around frowning at the mess. My books were carelessly placed in the table and I had my clothes still on the sofa.

"You have servants to keep your room neat sir! I have to do it myself. " I tried politely but it came out sarcastically.

" That's fine. I was watching the books you read even now. Well I too throw my clothes anywhere in case you want to know for future reference. " He smirked.

"For future reference?" I asked him puzzled.

"Never mind Arshita! " He swept his words away this way.

" Please sit here. I am getting you coffee. " I said and headed towards the kitchen.

Keeping milk in the stove, I prepared the coffee and sugar paste with water in two mugs till then the milk got warm enough to pour it on the paste.

Pouring milk in the mug, I stirred it a bit. Grabbing the mugs, i turned to find him leaning on the door watching me intently.

I gasped at his stare while he gave me a warm smile. Composing myself, I extended the mug to him.

I took it slowly then said, "What are you doing tomorrow?"

I blankly stared him for a while as my thoughts shifted to that specific thing.

Tomorrow? The valentines day?

"I will go to work and then come back home. " I said.

" Would you like to dine with me? " He asked me slowly but confidently.

What?

Dinner date on valentine's?

Just like that!

"What am I supposed to take it as? Would it be a business dinner?" I asked hesitantly.

What if I was expecting a lot and he didn't mean anything.

He smiling licked his lip then said,

" Business? No. Not at all. It will be just you and me dinning somewhere tomorrow night. "

"Why? " I blurted though I understood it exactly . I deserved to be asked clearly.

Okay. So was Piya right? Did he really like me?

Oh god!

Wait! Or he like every girl around him. The woman with him yesterday?

" So that we could talk a little other than work. " He cleverly said to me.

" Why do we need to talk a little other than work sir?! " I faked innocence. I hoped that I didn't look stupid because he laughed.

" What you want to hear?" He charmingly asked standing before and taking sip of his coffee.

"Definitely what you mean sir! " I said intimidated by his appearance.

" Will go on a dinner date with me? " He asked coolly surprising me like hell. I had no idea if he was genuinely interested in me. Why would he be?i was just another girl in his office.

Also he was asking me this easily without any nervousness of being rejected.

Will you be that cool if I say No?

" I might be going out with friends. " I faked worrying my lips.

" Is it like you want but you can't because of already planned date with your friends? " He asked coolly again to irritate me to the core.

What should I say now?

I sheepishly smiled at him which he returned warmly and waited for me to respond.

What do I want for real?

I had no idea if I wanted this date. I couldn't let another man come in my life to distort it before he left. I liked him from the beginning but never that way I think.

I tried to speak up but words didn't come out. It started as a fun for me and now I was losing to it myself.

"Don't worry. We can do this. You get ready and I pick you up so that we go there together if your friends don't mind it. " He suggested.

I nodded still in my thoughts. Was I really agreeing for a date?

No. It is just dinner date. It doesn't mean anything to both of us.

" See you tomorrow evening then Arshita. " He said placing the mug on the board and motioning me to follow him.

I followed him as he went faster out of the door to appear before I reached him with the same sized wrapped box that I saw yesterday except the paper color was different.

He came closer and stood before me giving me his vibrant smile, "Hope you like it."

He placed it in my hand as I lost my words. Suddenly this much?

He didn't know well. We just met and he was asking me for a date and gifting me too.

"I need to leave and give you some space so that you decide if you want to open it or not. " He chuckled and waving his hand walked away closing the door behind him while I stood there dumb not knowing what I was to do.

I stared at the box to realise that it wasn't a joke but the real arrangement for our date. Dinner date.

***

What do you think he is thinking? I mean he just met her.
