Anusha's POV

"Siddharth.. Breakfast is ready."

I called him from the kitchen and started arranging plates and glasses on the dining table.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw him sitting leaning against the headboard of the bed may be, just may be for a moment I thought he was staring at me, and when I blinked to clear my sleepy vision, I found his gaze resting in front of him, still holding his cold as annoying expression.

I should have checked his temperature, it was possible may be he was colder than ice at that moment. But why..?

I heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen, indicating his arrival. Then I saw him coming.

I smiled at him and I don't know why I found myself waiting for a good morning kiss. I miss it.

It's two day since he last kissed me. Since we last kissed.

But instead without even replying to my smile he sat on the far chair and started eating his enchiladas for breakfast in pin drop silence.

Got to hell!!!

.
.
.

This morning was planned for grocery shopping.

Have you ever gone for shopping with a angry young man with you? Trust me it feels like hell.

Mr. Grumpy khanna!

He was so distant the whole time. Whenever I was asking him anything he frowned or sometimes just ignores me.

I felt like crying, he has never done this to me before.

Firstly I thought he is upset.

He is upset indeed, but only on me. He is talking normally to everyone but me.

I mean why? What have I done?

During the whole ride to the mall I was initiating stupid conversation so that he'll talk to me.

Even I tried to irritate him too by asking stupid question, poking his sides but he didn't utter a single word just ignored me.

Trailing my trolley in the grocery section of shopping store, I kept looking everywhere for things I require and a grumpy man following behind. Eye roll.

I pursed my lips in a thin line, irritated to explain my mood and keep on glancing side ways at him.

By the way he looks hot in this mood too!

I tried to shop.

Looking down in my basket for any missed requirement, I noticed I forget ketchup. I searched around the store for ketchup bottle and found it on the top shelf.

Ugh!

I tried to reach it but I couldn't.

I looked over at him, he was already looking at me, with an unreadable expression.

When our eyes met, he switched his expression with a frown and turned his gaze.

What the ................

He is such a pain in ............. You know where!

I turned my head from left to right for some attendant in the store to help me but there was no one else instead of him and me.

Means there's no other option left!

"Excuse me!" I called him. He ignored me pulled his phone out from his pant pockets and started typing something.

"Excuse me Mr. khanna"

He turned his head up and almost glared at me. It was like he is shooting daggers through his eyes.

Ooooo..... I so dead.. (sarcasm- sarcasm) now come on young man.... And help me!

I sighed rolling my eyes and started attempting one more time to reach the bottle.

Sometimes it's a curse being so small.

Not small - small actually I'm 5'6 but still.
Standing on my toe tips, holding my trolley with one hand and other in attemp to approach the target, I was almost approaching my target when I lost my balance.

Stupid! Stupid trolley!

Eeee..............main te gayi !

I closed my eyes and waiting to be hit by the cold floor tiles when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist holding on to me tight.

Relieved I opened my eyes and met with most beautiful pair of deep brown eyes.

We were like this for what seems like hours. The concern and care was filled in his deep ocean.

They were saying, even promising I'll never let you fall, and I knew it already he is my savior, always there for me.

His gaze travelled to my lips and my breathing hitched. I know that look! I closed my eyes again waited for him to kiss me but nothing came.

Opening my eyes I look at him questioningly and suddenly he left me. I instantly started missing his warm embrace and adjusted myself on my spot.

He groaned looking at me and picked up the bottle from the top shelf and almost threw it inside the shopping trolley and left me there. Alone!

People all alone! Can you believe it?

I reached the vegetable counter and saw chillies, I smiled without knowing.

The flashes of his chilly moustache came in my mind. Then my lemon eyes.

That was so embarrassing!

Then I turned to look for him but he was nowhere to be found. I was dissapointed and felt like crying the whole time.

Once I was done with my shopping I made my way to the cash counter and find him already waiting for me.

He paid the bill and almost snatching the trolley from my hand made his way to the parking lot.

Back home, he is still behaving the same.

Now I'm really pissed off right now.

Mr. Khanna you are getting on my nerves now.

I'm no more going to poke him. Do what you want Sidhharth I'm done with you.

How can you show me anger without telling me the reason.

We again ate the dinner in silence.

___

After eating dinner he stepped out of the dining area to god knows where.

I sighed and after washing the dishes and watching TV for few hours I came inside our bedroom and found it's already 11:45 we should sleep now. But I'm not going to call him...... let him do what he wants.

I hate you Bholu!

I climbed on bed and covered myself with the duvet and forcefully shutting my eyes I tried to fall asleep.........without him.

After what feels like hours and lots of twisting and turning on bed and I sat up straight irritatingly leaving a huge sigh.

Dramatic..? I know but it's nothing compared to him.

"I can't sleep without him" I talked to no one.

"I mean............. I can't sleep without.............k- knowing where is he and when he will be back to sleep"

again I reasoned to no one.

"Stupid!" I called him and climbed out of the bed.

Exiting the bedroom, I entered the study room to look for him but he was not there. Then I stepped down the stairs and looked for him everywhere, then I saw lights in the balcony are still ON.

That means only one thing...........

"There you are" I said when I saw him leaning against the chair shutting his eyes and stretching his neck muscles.

Workaholic jerk!

He startled and opened his eyes to met mine, I was standing just in front of him crossing my arms over my chest, this was for the first time I was feeling like I can dominate him, though not really but I was feeling like I'm taller and I was towering him.

But soon all my happiness get washed away, he stood up with a cold expression, towered me and pushed me aside with the back of his hand, stuffed all his papers into his bag and there folders.

Hhh? Pushed me aside?

And then he moved to stand against the railing facing the sky showing me his back.

Ugh....

So annoying.

I copied him and stood just beside him our arms rubbing.

He shifted far from me like my touch burned him and continued looking up at the sky like he is counting the stars.

But I know he is in deep thoughts.

But about what....?

"What are you thinking Siddharth?" I asked irritated

Ignored.

"You are over working yourself!"

Still ignored.

I sighed and stood straight copying him starring at the sky, hands on railing, the wind blowing my hair all over my face, I was wearing one of his shirt, his black coloured one it's my favourite.

The shirt was loose for me resulting it to flow everywhere in air but being still on my body. I was loving the feel of air refreshing my mind my body. I hope his too.

I turned to look at him and found him already staring I smiled at him in hope while he turned his head and fumed.

Again!

I looked up again and saw clouds covering the sky.

"I think it's going to rain. We should get inside, Siddharth"

Ignored.

What the hell?

Problem kya hai tumhari? Arey yaar......

I held his hand and was about to drag him inside with me when he pulled his hand back from my grip abruptly.

I was shocked and moreover I was hurt.

"Siddharth it's already late..... we should sleep, we have work tomorrow. Further I think its going to rain."

I reasoned taking a deep breath I was just few seconds away from crying.

He still ignored me and continued starring ahead, pretending like he didn't heard me.

Enough!

"Fine! do what you want to do" I yelled angrily, tears fell down my cheeks and came back running inside the bedroom to sleep.

Honestly........ to sleep? Do you really think I can sleep like this?

No!

I was silently crying.

He came after almost an hour and I was still waiting for him wide awake. Once I felt him lying on bed I found myself relaxed.

We slept with a distance of one arm between each other.

Though it was not me who was sticked to the far corner. It was him.
