It's been more than half a month since the incident happened... Have they had a good time?

Everything is back to routine...

They eat..they work...they sleep

But in separate rooms

Their most intimate behavior is to hold hands...they haven't even hugged for half a month

Arjun has been absent-minded these days...

Although he has not ignored Sona... she feels that he is far less excited and happy when he is with her...

Though they agreed to be friends he still feels uneasy about something and she is extremely confused about this...

Around all this chaos something new was planned by destiny...

Since morning Sona has been on a hustle war and Arjun is confused about it...

After finishing the chores she went into the bedroom and it was more than half an hour since she didn't seem to taking the initiative to come out

Getting restless of her actions since morning Arjun kept on walking to and fro in the living room...

The bedroom door opened...

And there comes the Beauty of our beast  adorned in a traditional yellow saree completely complimenting her hourglass figure...those lotus-like hands giggling with plain green bangles...a beautiful hair bun of her long lush

A sudden gush of the soothing fragrance of mogra hit his nostrils driving him into another world

Even though he had seen a lot of unique colors, he had already developed immunity to beautiful women, but he was still amazed by the sight of his little wife...

Sona is thin, tall, slim waist and long legs. With her white skin and delicate facial features, she is as pure and beautiful as a fairy coming from the clouds

Her cheeks were red and her eyes were like dove eyes. He felt that her whole body was shining, and everything around her had faded into a hazy figure.

"Very beautiful." He  gazed at her and walked slowly towards her taking that small tuck of hair between his fingers and twirling it around he said in a husky voice "Today you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

Her lashes lowered as her cheeks turned a shade of pink while her lips crinkled up in a coe way

He did not know what he was doing...he was just coordinating the orders given by his brain

Both just kept

The moment couldn't last longer as his heart was alert...as soon as he gained back his senses he immediately stepped back with a jerk leaving her in a state of confusion

"why...why are you dressed up??" he asked to which she replied "It's a traditional day at the college"

He nodded and picked up his bag to leave...she followed him but stopped in her tracks when he suddenly halted "Wait for a second"

He twirled at her and locked his eyes on her for a small fraction of a second and before she could think over anything he just took a long stride towards her... moved his hands near her neck and slowly pulled out the mangalsutra out of her veil

The mangalsutra that was hidden under her veil was now swaying on her chest screaming that she was married

Without saying a word he marched out of the house while she stood still looking at her chest smiling  like a maniac

**********

It was already ticking 8 and Sona hasn't come back yet...

Though she had informed him about the delay in homecoming he wasn't at peace

He wandered back and forth for several times. After seeing that the time was almost up, he called his wife and before the person on the other end could receive the call, the sound of a  bike boomed in front of the verandah which reached his ears within lighting speed

To check upon he ran to the verandah and as soon as he reached the spot his heart was at peace seeing his wife but the immediate next moment when his eyes fell on the person next to her his heart sank in with unknown feeling

While she was thanking Suhan for dropping her home she noticed a sudden change of expression on his face and when she turned her back  found her husband standing at the door

probably waiting for her..

His eyes were the proof of it...

"Come meet my husband" she insisted him but giving her a deaf ear he turned his bike and before she could speak further he just flew off

So rude of him

Why did he do that??

She sighed and turned her feet to her nest and the moment stepped forward her husband too turned his back and went inside as if she didn't exist in the frame 

What's wrong with him??

Is he angry with me for being late??

She thought

He is angry with me for not being late but being with Suhan...

Devvvaaaaa....

She realised

What to do now...

Quickly she ran into the house and found him on the sofa all cool and calm working on his laptop

She took a deep breath first...

"My...My phone was off and I wasn't getting any bus so Suha-

"Did I ask you??" he cut her with his sharp tone eyes still glued to the screen

"No, but I-

"Look I am busy with my work and I do not have time to entertain you...you better not come to me again...just call me for dinner"

His eyes darted on her...all cold yet sharp enough to eat her raw

She did not dare to say anything further so she quickly ran into the room

Later they had a pale dinner with the Cold War still fresh between them

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

Next day:

The day was as usual with their respective schedule...the only difference was they didn't share a single word today

She so wanted to explain herself but he didn't let her do so...

The whole day she wasn't at peace...

She wanted to sort out the matter and was all set to do so...

To lighten the bitterness between them she made his favorite on the dinner menu and was waiting for him

She heard the bike sound and in no time I ran to the main door...

She welcomed him with a smile but in return, I got a good taunt "Why are you being a watchman today"

Hushhh

He at least talked to me...

She smiled like a maniac  but it couldn't last longer when she heard him further "Pack your bag you are going to your mother's place"

She was so startled that she couldn't help but somewhat yell at him "What??"

Giving her a shit of attention he walked into the room...

"Why so suddenly....I mean why should I go there???" She followed him for an answer for which he said "This period of work is busy and I haven't been able to finish my target so I need to stay out of town"

His words let my heart feel a smile size heartache

"how long will you go abroad?" felt empty in her heart and forced myself to ask with ease...

"I'm not sure now. If you're in need, you can call me at any time" busy packing his stuff he bluntly answered

She stood rooted digesting his words while he added further "I don't have much time...I"'ll drop you and leave for my work so better make it fast"

She just nodded and began packing my stuff while he took his shoulder bag and left

All the while packing my stuff she was sad

She didn't know why I was so sad...

I didn't need to be so sad right...

She asked herself

Soon they reached her mother's place... explaining to her about their sudden arrival he was prepared to leave...

She walked with him to the street corner to send him off...every step was making it difficult for me...

But why ...

Is it because she was so habituated that staying away from him felt a bit difficult

He stood in front of his bike ready to leave...she felt the same pain again

But why??

Isn't it a matter of just a few days...

Am I overreacting??

Maybe I am...

Maybe I am not....

Urrrghhhh

What's exactly my problem...

She kept playing with question-answer rounds with her mind

Before she could think further she was tightly engulfed in his frame with his hands around her and some words fell on ears "Take care of yourself"

And in no time he went invisible in front of me...

All this happened so fast that she couldn't even reciprocate what she felt

Abruptly she felt cold on my face...

Raising her hand she checked her face and it was full of tears...

Why cry??

Is it because of her husband leaving for a couple of days...

But she felt like it's not going to be just a couple of days it's going to be much more...

And that is why it's hurting her more...

But what about him???

Is it equally hurting him??

Obviously yes...

His hug itself says it...

And his broken voice...it had some kind of pain...

"I hope that when he comes back, he will not appear again in this faint feeling of pain"

She prayed for the best...
