Janu's POV

I was very happy and delighted to be with Akshadh. It was our first distance Journey after our wedding. Every situation in life comes to make us realise about our strength, weakness, love, hopes etc but this phase of my life especially this journey gives me a hope that I am sure here we would get the turning point. I will try my best to make my love win. Now, We are facing the opposite path but while returning, I wished us to be together.

After going to the airport only I came to know that we are moving to the U.S. I can't forget this travel happy moments. Akshadh was seated next to me. Even our fingers didn't touch but butterflies started crawling in me. He took care of me and that gets added to my happiness. After a few hours of travel, we reached the U.S. From the airport itself, someone picked us. He introduced himself as Mr.John. I think he was Akshadh's close friend from their converse. He dropped us in front of the flat. It was not a big apartment. It resembles my home. Mr.John left. Akshadh and I entered into the flat. There I found Akshadh's photo in the wall. I had a question about the flat that Is it belongs to him? But I didn't ask seeing his face. His face changed and he entered inside a room and closed the door. I was sitting blankly in the couch for ten minutes and after that I started to observe the other three-rooms. There were no clues of dust or spider web. I think, Akshadh was allowing someone to clean.

I took my phone and informed about the presence in the U.S both to my parents and Akshadh's maa. Akshadh was still in the room. I looked outside from the flat. There was an apartment nearby and I could see only busy people. Then, I entered in and found Akshadh.

"Akshadh, Are you okay? " I asked him caringly after observing his face for a few seconds.

He sighed, "It's ok. You can use that room," he pointed an empty room filled with a bed, a dressing table, wardrobe and a big stand to keep the things. I was not satisfied with his reply so I questioned him, "Why I need to stay there? I will stay in your room only." I said strictly.

"Don't argue, I have no words to proceed the argument and finally you won't agree," he said frustratingly.

"Akshadh, we are married and why I need to stay in separate rooms?" I asked him seriously because his words give me annoyance.

"Yup but in very soon I am going to divorce you. I think you knew already but still, I am making my point very clear that as per the divorce norms we should stay together and we are !! that's it. I am not ready to hear any of your replies," said him.

"Ohh...I knew ... But ...I think you are scared of staying with me thinking that I might change you," I said and I knew this sounds funny to him.

He smiled..... "Ok!! Let it be...All the grocery items, fruits, veggies, nuts etc will be available here soon. Eat healthily and stay strong," he said and left the place without even hearing her reply.

As he said, all the cooking necessary items were received and I started preparing food for dinner.

"I am going out. Lock the door and be careful," he said holding his car keys..

"Where are you going at this time? In this new place?" I asked the normal questions that every wife care for her husband.

Pausing....."This is not a new place for me...Prepare and have the food. I will come here a bit lately and you sleep. I have an alternate key," he said and went.

What is he thinking in his mind? Really bothering me to the core. If aunt is there, he can be controlled a bit but he never heeded to me..Let me think and have to make a check for this.

Preparation of the dinner mood got totally spoiled. I kept everything in the refrigerator and boiled the milk alone. Later, I had the milk and came to the room allotted by him to me. I sat there blankly for sometimes and took my mobile and started browsing.

After the wedding, I was using the mobile for a long time. I checked my Facebook, WhatsApp everything. I remembered Dhiya because I used to reply to her first. I opened her page and her last scene was the day before my wedding. I felt really sorry for her. Every day we used to talk daily but after Akshadh's entry, I totally got changed. Where did she go? Like our family, I don't have any idea. It is because of the stupid people's mouth. Even I was wrong there. After the marriage, I tried to contact her but her phone was switched off. Madhan is also not attending the call. I am sorry Dhiya for not understanding and caring you!

After using social media for long, my eyes got tired and drifted to sleep.

The next day,
The sun's brightness falls on me through the glass window and I was disturbed from the sleep. I looked at the clock with half-opened eyes that was placed opposite to the bed. My God!! 9'0 clock...Hurriedly, I jumped out of bed and went to refresh. After refreshing, I took long steps and didn't find Akshadh in his room. Did he reach home yesterday? I patted my head for being so careless. Immediately, I phoned him.

He picked up, "Janu, I will come afternoon," he ended the call. I tried after that but he didn't pick up the phone. I got worried about his attitude.

Past is past, I should be cautious about his arrival and departure from the next time. Maximum, I must try to keep check for it. Sometimes later, I had a banana and a cup of milk. Then, I started preparing lunch. After completing, I sat blankly. I have really no idea. I am not the type of girl who sits home lonely who invites overthinking concepts freely and getting issues. In my free time, I involved myself in social service and I can't capture my passing time. Now, I was really feeling bored and lonely. From morning to till now, I have contacted my parents and mother in law for two times. I don't want to disturb them often.

Everything was opposite to my point of thinking, I thought that Akshadh would be available with me 24×7 but rarely he stays. I have no idea about his presence yesterday. I thought that we would move out to some places but he is not even giving me space in his room...

As Akshadh told, he reached home afternoon. I didn't initiate the talk and he too.

Breaking the calmness, "Akshadh, Let us have the food?"

"Let you have. I had food at outside," he replied gently making me angry.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" He cut me in between,  "started?" He went away.

I was sitting in the living room. Tears touched my cheeks.

Again, I went to him who was sitting out. Looking at his phone often.

"Akshadh, come!! Let us have food,"

"Januvika, I had,"

"Then, I don't want to have. Let me fast. If you eat, I will or else I don't want," I said strictly looking at him.

"Janu, plz!! Don't skip the food. I was waiting for an important call. Don't disturb me," he said. Phone call!! I got enraged to the core. I snatched the phone from his hand and ran inside.

"Januvika! Don't play. Give me. It is a very important call," he walked forwarding me.

"Nope! Whoever let me talk first!" I said strictly. His closeness towards me tuned my anger mood to a happy mood. He came very close to me. I hide the phone by holding my hands backside. He tried a lot to get the phone without touching me.

"Januvika, give me...." He said in massive tone..

"Nope,"

He tried to snatch the phone. I ran and hide the phone here and there. Finally, he holds me and his chest touch my face. I could smell the aroma from him. I lost my courage due to our closeness. I kept the phone in one hand and hugged him by the other. He snatched the phone finally and I hugged him tightly. The tears from my eyes wetted his shirt.

"Akshadh, please don't leave me. I can't live without you," I hugged him and cried. He pushed me gently and looked at my face with a kind of guilt occupied in his face.

Meanwhile, his phone rang and he moved out. He attended and I was standing back listening to his converse....The important phone call! Makes me listen to the converse.
