Sonal's POV:

I felt his hot breath even more closer to me that our breath has become one

His bloodshot eyes were softened now. His pupils were dilated.

His hold on my neck loosened and slowly his hands slid down to my cheeks cupping them.

He closed his eyes and I was about to do the same in anticipation but then the very next moment I felt a strong jerk from him pushing me away

"I am sorry...I am not allowed to touch you...not allowed to come close to you...I am extremely sorry for my mistake...will take care that it won't repeat...hope you forgive me"

Taking a step forward and parting my lips I was about to speak "Arj

But then again he interrupted me showing his hand asking me to stop in my path.

Closing and opening his eyes he took a breath and announced

"From now onwards I'll be in my limits"

Before I could react anything to his stupid statement he left the room.

I slumped on the bed holding my head between my palms.

Angry Bird's anger is higher than the peak of Mount Everest.

What would I do now?? How would I persuade him?? How will I cool down his anger??

While I was making an effort to get the solution suddenly something  popped out of my mind and snapping my fingers I exclaimed "Idea"

Instantly I made a call to my darling Siya who is the only one to propose some good ideas and save me from the newly transformed Angry lion.

Siya: Hello my sweetheart... Arjun seems to have left the office.

Sonal: Ha...but how do you know??

Siya: It's obvious darling...he has left and that is the reason you got free time to give me a call...or else you would be busy in morning romance session with your husband...am I right Mrs. Arjun??

Sonal: If you are done with your teasing...can we talk now??

I was in no mood of getting teased by the pregnant dinosaur😏

Siya: OK Mam as you say

Sonal: Umm...Siya..... whenever Raghav is upset by you...how do you persuade him??

Siya: Did you guys fight??

Sonal: Ha... I mean no...not exactly

Siya: Sona...baby it's fine...it happens with every couple...no need to hide it from us...you can share

Sonal: Ha actually we fought over an issue...And I am not getting what to do?? Please help me out Siya...tell me what do you do when Raghav is upset...tell me what should I do so that Arjun will forgive me.

Siya: Well it's so simple baby

Sonal: Is it?? Then tell me fast what I am supposed to do

Siya: Kiss Therapy

Sonal: What?????

Siya: Ha kiss therapy...whenever the husband is upset every wife uses the kiss therapy...and trust me Sona...it always works...I often use it on your brother...and you know what...he melts faster than ice.

Sonal: Are you serious Siya??

Siya: Absolutely yes sweetheart...I am damn serious...and I strongly recommend you to use the same kiss therapy...and you don't worry at all...I'll teach you everything...after all, I have a PhD degree in the subject called romance and baby you are still in the KG class...so you need to pick up the pace...understood??

Sonal: Huhh??

Siya: Grab his collar and pull him close to you...looking into eyes make him drown into the ocean of your deep orbs and touch his soul by your lips ...pour all your sorry into that kiss and suck hard his lips and ask him to forgive you...As simple as that.

I went numb at her explanation and to add fuel to the fire the incident that happened just now between me and him flashed freshly.

Siya: Sona...are you there??

Sonal: Ha...ha...I am listening

Siya: Fine then...all the best sweetheart...will be waiting for your reports...Bye

Cutting the call I dropped the phone on the bed and swallowed my saliva satisfying my dry throat. But it didn't help so I gulped a glass full of water in one go to calm down my indescribable feeling.

************************************

Evening Time:

I decided to visit his office and surprise him as he did to me the last time when I was disturbed.

I got myself dressed up in a beautiful yellow netted saree with a matching yellow blouse and golden bangles and let my hair open. And finally completed my look by applying kajal to my eyes and a bindi to my forehead.

Getting to the parking I asked Mohan Bhaiya to drop me at Arjun's office.

"Bhabhi I was about to go pick up Bhaiya only" Mohan Bhaiya said

"Why...I mean what happened to his car??"

"It's in repair Bhabhi"

"Ok" saying I sat in the car and cursed the bloody car because my plan was ruined by his car.

According to my plan, I would go to his office and we'll go on the long drive and spend some quality time. But now nothings gonna happen...we'll be coming back home in my car with Mohan Bhaiya driving the car. All thanks to his car.

My mood was spoiled with the news of his car.

"Bhabhi" Mohan Bhaiya called me still driving the car and looking at me through the mirror

"Ha Mohan Bhaiya"

"Bhabhi...actually I remembered a work that Madhavi told me to do today itself...so if it is ok with you I'll drop you at Bhaiyas office and leave...Bhaiya will drive you home...if you allow me then can I go Bhabhi"

I was literally jumping from inside for what he said and a big smile carved up my lips which was noticed by Mohan Bhaiya and he smiled too in satisfaction.

I understood everything seeing his satisfied smile. It was nothing like he said. He made a fake reason so that we can get some privacy.

Soon we reached his office. I didn't have much information about Arjun's business... the only thing I know is he runs a construction firm.

The name ARUNDHATI BUILDERS was carved on the glass panels of the 15 storey building.

Entering the building I enquired about his cabin and stepped into the elevator. I was so excited to surprise him.

The elevator stopped at the 12th floor and the first person I came across was Rohan with some sheets in his hand

"Hey Bhabhi...what are you doing here??"

"Nothing much...just wanted to visit the office once"

"Thank God you are here...your husband is sucking everyone's blood since morning..even I am scared to enter his cabin"

It's obvious his mood was off  and his poor employees are suffering because of me. Will he allow me to enter his cabin??

"Bhabhi where are you lost??" His words broke the chain of my thoughts

"he is in a very bad mood" I mumbled

"Ahan...there's a correction in your statement...his mood WAS off and now as his loving wife is here to meet him...his mood will be refreshed"

Taking his phone he said "I'll inform him right now"

"No...Rohan...don't inform him about my arrival" I stopped him

"I want to surprise him" I added

"Ohh...so it's a surprise meet" he exclaimed with a teasing smile

Unable to speak I simply nodded. He directed me to his cabin.

"Best of luck Sona...enter the dragon den at your own risk...make sure the dragon radiating fire from his mouth won't swallow you up and even if he does some overacting just seal his mouth as Siya said...ok??"

Taking a deep breath I entered his cabin. Peeping at his black-themed cabin I cursed him over his black obsession.

Then my eyes caught the sight of my man leaned on his business chair rubbing his forehead with his fingers.

I walked to his table then too he didn't react. Didn't he notice my presence??

I made a clinking sound of my bangles making him open his eyes and lifting his head and passing a glare at me.

Resting his hands on the table and interlocking his fingers he said "There's a social etiquette...before entering into someone's cabin we must knock  the door"

"Akdu Arjun"

"Entering my husband's cabin isn't a social aspect... it's a personal one" I said crossing my hands against my chest.

Crossing his hands as I did and leaning back to his chair he said "Every person entering my cabin is just a stranger to me...including YOU ...samjhi??"

"Well in that case....treat me as a stranger who has come to you to get her work done"

"I have many more important assignments...so better you leave"

"Very bad Mr. Arjun...running a huge firm you have no manners of behaving with your clients"

"Come straight to the point"

"Ok" shrugging off my shoulders  I walked to him and bent down to his level such that our lips were a few centimeters away.

He was still sitting on the chair with a shocking expression on his face. His popped-out eyes as big as a football and his heartbeat boosted up its rate. His body was stiffened. He looked funny with that expression.

I stared at him for a brief moment and my lips traveled close to his lips following up his cheeks and halted at his ears.

I whispered in his ears "I need a small house"

I felt his body relaxed a bit and I smiled in his ears realizing my effect on my poor husband.

Slowly I straightened myself and looked at my poor husband whose mind was blocked by my stunt.

Not to tease him more I proceeded further while he was still sitting

"I need a small house with a kitchen for a healthy relationship...a living room for heartful talks...a garden for blooming memories and finally

Again I bent down to his face and placed my palm on his chest where his heart was thumping "a room for loads of love right here"

And without a second delay, he announced

"To meet your requirements we need a strong foundation called trust...and I am inefficient of building that foundation...I am sorry"

Brushing off my hands he stood up "let's leave"

And he began walking towards the door and I followed him being failed.

We were in the elevator and a dramatic thought came to my crazy mind.

I wish the elevator stops and we get stuck here...then in no option condition he'll talk to me and we can spend some time too....just like it happens in movies.

"Stop your wild imagination...nothings gonna happen like that" his words broke my crazy thought process.

"Hugh??....How did you come to know what I was thinking??"

"Your crazy thinking was enough audible to my ears"

Then I realized that I wasn't thinking instead I was speaking out my thoughts. It was so embarrassing.

We reached the parking lot and I extended the car keys to him. Raising his brows he questioned me

"Mohan Bhaiya has some work....so he dropped me here and left" I answered in a low tone as if a kid was giving justification for his mistake.

"Who the hell will drive now??"

He was irritated and I didn't dare to irritate him anymore so just pointing my finger at him and lowering my gaze I gave a sign that he was the one who will be driving the car.

"Get in" taking the keys he instructed in a harsh tone

The journey began and there was complete silence in the car. I wasn't getting how to start the conversation and convince him for a long drive.

Somehow I gathered some courage and broke the silence

"How was your day Arjun??"

"None of your business" was his answer without having any eye contact.

I felt bad but composing myself I continued the conversation

"Won't you ask me how was my day??"

"None of my business" he answered with the same tone

"Arjun why don't we go somewhere for a long drive and have fun??"

"No"

"Ok, then how about beach??"

"No"

"How about dinner at your favorite place??"

"No"

"At least pani puri or ice cream??"

"No"

"Ok if you are not interested we'll go some other time...I just wanted to spend some time with you"

He didn't speak a word. I lost all my stamina and hope to convince the furious lion driving the car.

I thought it's better to keep quiet rather than talking anything and irritating him to the next level. So the remaining journey was in utter silence.

We reached home and taking fast and long strides he dashed to our room. I followed him to our room and found him taking out his clothes from the wardrobe.

Grabbing the opportunity quickly I ran to him and hugged him from behind circling my hands around him and apologized

"I am Sorry My dearest Angry Bird"

Holding my hands he pinned me to the wall in one go and his burning eyes were as red as fire

"Sorry...sorry for what...sorry for not trusting me?? sorry for those unbearable words?? sorry for hurting me?? Sorry for thinking so cheap of me??

"Aarrjj

I could hardly utter any word being pinned by his strong arms and harsh voice

"Chup....bilkul chup" (shut up..just shut up) pointing his finger he screamed at me and I gulped the thick lump as I was scared to death now

"Do you have any idea what words you used....Lovemaking...right

That's what you uttered...words have great power...words can make life...and at the same time words can break life...so better be careful with your words"

" I didn't mean it Arjun...please...I am sorry"

"Just hell with your sorry" he roared and turned his back to me running his fingers through his hair

I was totally blank. I couldn't react to anything.

"I did a mistake giving this marriage a chance... let's forget everything that happened between us and let's be like strangers to each other as before and let's stay like before as we used to live in this room during the early days of marriage"

Swirling around he pinned me again holding my arms and cried out his pain

"You know what Sona...years back my heart was bruised...but being with you I thought of giving it a chance and enjoy the beauty of life with you...but you proved me wrong...see my heart is bruised again"

He gave a sarcastic smile and continued

"but not again in the future...I won't let it happen because I can't afford it because to love is to get hurt...and love is something that opens up your heart...and once it's opened up...someone can get inside the heart and mess you up...just as you entered my heart and soul and messed me up...

This is the reason I keep my heart deep inside an iron cage so that no one can mess it up...this is the reason I never speak my heart out and never express myself...

Holding me by my neck he pulled me closer to him and joining our foreheads he asked

"why sona...why did you enter my life??.... I was Ok leading a hopeless life...why did you reach my soul and create a new ray of light in my darkened soul??"

Pulling himself back with his hands still holding my neck such that our tips of nose brushed and my teary eyes met his painful ones. Staring into my eyes he raised a question

"Kya tum inme apne liye chupa pyaar nhi dekh sakti....kya tum inme chupa bharosa nhi padh sakti"

(Can't you see the hidden love for yourself...can't you read the hidden trust)

He moved a step back with a jerk and swirled facing his back and announced

"Everyone believed that I would be healed by you...but the truth is I am BROKEN BY YOU"

************************************

Author's POV:

It was the time when the couple would have their dinner talking about their day spent.

But today the whole house was silenced down and the workers like family members Amma and Madhavi Didi were worried about the things happening between the couple.

The coldness between them since yesterday was not left unnoticed by them. They thought it's their private matter and needs some time to sort it out.

Sona was sitting on the garden chair post the incident and Arjun was in their room. Both were lost in their own world that they didn't even recognize time.

The words broken by you from his mouth felt like a deep cut to her heart that the bleeding wasn't in control and oozed out her body in the form of tears.

So as with Arjun...he thought Sona understands him and his feelings as well. The injury of his heart caused by his Sona was intolerable that  crying his heart out couldn't ease his pain. The one who was supposed to ease his pain was the same one who gave him the pain.

Amma asked Sona to go and rest as it was late. She didn't intrude in their matter.

Sona walked to her room and found Arjun in his favorite place balcony.

Wiping her tears he took steps towards him with a strong aim to finish the battle of broken feelings right there and then.

She stood in front of Arjun who was standing with his head bowed down hiding his tears.

Sona lifted her right hand to cup his cheek but Arjun brushed it off. Sona tried to do the same with her left hand and he again brushed it off too.

When the person closest to you breaks your heart...the repair of the broken feelings becomes even more difficult.

At last, tiptoeing herself and throwing her arms around his neck she hugged him and without his knowledge, his eyes got closed allowing the tears to roll down his beard cheek.

With him in her arms she confessed

"I am an impatient girl who is insecured about her love...initially you were not interested in this marriage relationship and suddenly Deepalis arrival...her arrival grew up my insecurity to the further level giving rise to the hurtful thought that you want to get rid off of your so-called wife who is in your way of  having a happy ending with her and..and you...you will leave me"

Her sobbing became louder at the end of her words and her tears wetted his neck.

The moment her tears caressed his neck..the feeling of loving her and being loved by her welled up in him. His arms circled around her waist and his neck dug more into the crook of her neck.

"I love you...and will love you till death...and if there's a life after death... 'll become a ghost and will still love you...samjhe??" She smiled between her cries and placed a kiss on his neck.

His hold on her tightened with a smile on his lips and they poured their heart out in each other's arms.

Pouring their hearts out they moved out of the longing hug.

Arjun cupped the tear-stained cheeks of his sweetheart and finally admitted his feelings

"All I wish for in this life of mine is you my darling ghost...and in this lifetime...the only one I loved and will love is  YOU"

And the next second she was in his arms rejoicing their confession.

"When you hold me...I feel I have never been held before like this...and my heart craves for more" he smiled between their hug.

She embraced him tightly but her darling husband wasn't satisfied and said "even more"

She smiled and snuggled more and more into him that there was no space for the breeze to pass through them.

Moving out of the hug she wiped her tears and found her husband admiring her with tears in his eyes and a smile on his lips. His hands never left her waist.

Holding his collar she brushed her right cheek over his right one and wiped the tear. Placing a soft kiss there she followed the same for his left cheek.

"I want to grow old with you...promise me that you will be an intimate part of this journey of mine"

He promised his life to her by kissing her forehead and later rested his forehead over hers for a brief moment adoring their promise.

"Sona"

"Hmm"

"I wanna sing for you"

Lifting her head she looked at him in disbelief. The last time she saw him swaying with her was in dreams. But this one wasn't a dream...it was a real one.

She passed a smile at him asking him to sing what his heart feels.

Being in the same posture...his hands on her waist and her hands around his neck the love birds began swaying to the music of breeze while he sang

Withdrawing her hands from his neck he brought them close to his chest

(Never knew that you were right behind me all these days)

Bowing  his head down at her hands he sang further

Noorellaku ammaga marina🎶
Thode nuvve🎶

(For the rest of my life you have become a mother like a companion)

Getting down on one knee he asked her to sit on his lap. She did the same and he laid his head on her chest while singing the next line

Getting up he back hugged her

(The music I asked for, is the silence when your breath talks to me
Like the tide that searches for the shore, I found the breeze that carries the aroma of your hair)

Swirling her around and caressing her face he sang

(Till now my morning has come across a darkness

Santhakame chestunna🎶

(Resting my life in your hands
Through my breath I am signing this deal)

And he caressed her lips with his❤

He signed the deal with his lips that was imprinted on both their souls. It wasn't a romantic kiss...it was more of a

Kiss of eternal love❤

Kiss of confession❤

Kiss of pain❤

Kiss of promise❤

Kiss of a new beginning❤

Hello my dear readers...hope you all are safe and healthy ❤

The above song is a Telugu one that describes Arjuns feelings so beautifully. For your understanding I have translated it into English. But I would be happy if you listen to the original song once.

Music has no barrier as music itself is beyond any barrier. So just enjoy the soulful music of one of my favorite songs.

And coming to the chapter...it was the most awaited one I guess❤

I am sorry for keeping you all waiting. This chapter is so special for Arjun-Sona as they are confessing their love for each other and I wanted to make it so beautiful. Penning down their emotions in a beautiful manner was my only aim and  hope I did justice to this chapter.
