"These ?"asked Ashwin

Ashwin immediately released her wrist 

Tia pointed her finger to the bag she was holding

"Sir ,I can't delay it more . please come " Shouted PA from his office 

Tia immediately ran away from the floor leaving the bag 

Tia pov-

Ahh my  legs hurt , my wrist hurt everything hurt so bad . I don't know what happened to him  , why he behaved in such a manner .Ahhh  I don't even want to think about him . What should I do now? Where should I go now ? I can't go back to  Sharma house , I'll end up stressing my parents again . I don't dare to go to Awasthi house . It is so bad . It is said a women has two homes but in reality she has no home . I wish some car end up hitting me and I die right here.

Just at the moment I heard a honking of car

"If u want to die go somewhere else don't end up dying infront of my car" shouted a man

I turned to look but blackness took over me 

"Ooo my god Tia what happened ? baccha get up " it was no other than Ajay (her cousin and Asha's fiancee)

Ajay took her to Awasthi mansion and called Asha 

"What happened to her Ajay ?" asked Asha with a concerned face

" I don't know exactly but she was walking on the middle of the road and fainted in front of my car" said Ajay

Asha splashed some water droplets on Tia 's face. And after some attempts Tia woke up . 

"What happened to you Tia? are u fine?" asked Asha

Tia nodded in yes in response 

"what happened you went to meet Ashwin?" said asha

Tia eyes got filled up with tears . Ajay understood something happened to her .

"Tia it's alright bachha . I am here with you . See your Asha didi is here too. " said Ajay

"I want to go back home " said Tia crying

"Please tell me what happened bhabhi please " said Asha

"Tia I will take you home baccha but please tell us why were you in the middle of road "asked Ajay shaking her arm gently

Ajay's gentle shaking got Tia back to her senses.She got up and cleared her tears from the palm of her hands.
'I have to come up with something now to cover up' thought Tia

" Um I was aaum just missing my family  and got tired from walking so end up fainting " Said Tia

"Oo my poor bhabhi thank god you are fine and I will drop you to your mothers house" Said Asha

"no You relax  I will drop her" said Ajay

"okay" replied Asha

Ajay dropped Tia to her mothers house 

'I know you are lying Tia . Definitely something has happened otherwise you would not have reacted in such a manner . And the worse of all you fainted. I know you since you were born you cannot lie infront of me . I am sure Ashwin did something. ' Ajay thought

Ajay drive to Awasthi office and stormed directly in Ashwin's office 

"Sir you can't go inside Ashwin sir is in meeting right now " said PA

" shut the fuck up and step aside "said Ajay raging from anger

Ajay stormed inside and punched Ashwin on his face . Luckily the online meeting just ended a second ago.

"what the fuck?" shouted Ashwin

" what did you do to her" asked Ajay again punching him

"To whom?" asked Ashwin this time blocking Ajay's punch

" TIA " glared ajay

" She was spying on me " said Ashwin

"she wasn't . Your sister Asha sent her to your office to get you cookies that Asha made " said Ajay

"I don't know what is wrong with you . Why you agreed to marry her ?Now I wonder was I wrong to get my sister married to you"

"What are you saying Ajay"

"No listen to me .I don't know what you think of her but listen to me she is a very nice girl , very sweet and kind . Her father helped my parents a lot in starting the business. Despite putting so much money and efforts he refused any share in the business. Tia holds the same value as her father so don't you dare think of her as a gold digger . She is pure gold. "

"leave this you know what all she did for you . you tortured her so much that she was crying so badly and fainted in the middle of road . Thank god that I was there and took her back .But when I asked her what happened to her she didn't even mentioned your name . she said she got tired and fainted . What else prove you need for her innocence"

" That's our husband - wife matter " said Ashwin

"And don't you forget I am her brother Ashwin Awasthi . Why the fuck her wrist had your hand marks on it?" shouted Ajay 

"Did her wrist had my marks ?" asked Ashwin in a guilty voice

"Yes and not only that her feet were swollen too. " said Ajay

--------

Ashwin went back home 

As soon as Ashwin entered the house Asha slapped Ashwin

"ASHA" said Ashwin

" What will you do ? Blame me . ..shout at me ...or twist my wrists Ashwin . I hate to admit this but you are turning like our father ." said Asha angrily

"Don't compare me with him" said Ashwin in anger

 "Have you forgotten this is house he used to behave with our mother ? This is how our step mother treated us . Have you forgotten everything my dear brother ? Today I am ashamed to call you my brother ."

" I was the one who requested bhabhi to get you cookies. She was not willing to but I forced her bhai .I am responsible not her . "

' fuck , I messed pretty bad 'thought Ashwin

"where is Tia ?" asked Ashwin

" why? are you still not done with her " replied Asha

" NO , Is she in her room?" said Ashwin and started moving towards their room

" No , she went back to her house " said Asha

"why did you let her go?" asked ashwin with pleading eye

"how could I have kept her when my own brother is at fault . Apologize to her ,beg her do anything but clear your misunderstandings and bring her back to the house" said Asha

-------

Ashwin pov-

I immediately went to her house and greeted and touched both ma and papa's feet.

"Beta I didn't expect you here so soon "said Aishwarya 

" Yes ma even I didn't expect myself here but I guess I am missing her" said Ashwin

"hmm let me call Tia " said AISHWARYA

" no , I want to suprise her . Where is her room?" asked Ashwin

" her room is right to the staircase" said Aishwarya

Tia was in the bathroom when Ashwin came to her room . He looked around the room . 

Ashwin pov -

I entered her room and her fragrance hit my nostrils . Everything in her room smells like hers . As soon as I entered her room I immediately bolted the door to prevent our batter reaching her parents. She is doing everything for them . They are also very sweet , they should not get bothered by us. Her room is small but very warm and cozy . It is very different from my cold huge room . Even the walls of her room are decorated with fairy lights and pictures . Paintings were hung on the wall . DIYs are showcased beautifully . 

The door of the bathroom opened revealing Tia . She is dressed in a loose buttoned shirt and shorts . Her top two buttons of the shirt were open showing her beautiful cleavage . Her long black wavy hairs were open and was looking like a divine beauty.

Tia was shocked seeing Ashwin in her room. Tia took a step back seeing Ashwin in fear .

"Tia " said Ashwin in a soft voice

"what are you doing here " said Tia crying

" shh stop crying please stop crying baby" said Ashwin in a calm soft voice much different from what he used in the morning

" what are you doing here stalking me or spying on me Mr Awasthi" said Tia angrily

"You can accuse me how much you like but please stop crying " said Ashwin trying to calm her

"No why should I .You act so sweet for a second and the other second you become rude and mean  ."said Tia

Ashwin took a step forward and tried to wipe her tears but Tia flinched at his touch

'fuck what have I done . she is flinching at my touch ' ashwin thought

" Baby I am sorry I am really sorry . I didn't realise the consequences of my action ." said Ashwin

This made Tia cry more 

"Talk to me Tia . please speak something ." said Ashwin

" I hate you . i was not spying on you . I have no motives behind marrying you except the fact that i wanted to keep my family happy. I dont " said Tia sobbing
