The next morning I woke up from my bed and felt so fresh. Only then I gradually remembered what did happen last night and wondered how I ended up in my room.

My eyes widened thinking about the possibility of being carried out by Karthik to my room. Suddenly self-consciousness knocked down my head and various questions awakened by my insecure self.

Did I break his hand?

Did he get to feel that I was weighing a lot?

Did he feel disgusted by my weight?

Idiot, why did you sleep like that? If you had slept in your room, it wouldn't have happened. My inner mind started to scold me. Thinking a lot I started to do my routine chores one by one.

Since I have been staying at home, I thought to wear something comfortable and normal. I picked out a yellow colour top and white leggings. Making a half pony I attached them with a small hair clip.

After lighting the oil lamp and worshipping I turned around to see Karthik entering the house, probably from the gym. Feeling embarrassed I evacuated the place immediately before he could see me. At least that was what I thought...

While making tea I felt a present behind me. When I turned it was Kavya. She was looking at the tea I was making, so I asked "Do you need tea ? ".She stared at my face for a few seconds and nodded. While I was serving the tea in her mug, she asked " Now how are you feeling? Is everything okay? ".

I looked at her face doubtfully, whether she was the one who asked about my health. To my amazement, she was the one. I nodded my head affirmatively because I felt a little nervous to make conversation with her. Understanding my situation she did not talk after that. Picking up her mug, and telling me a small thanks, she left the kitchen. A few seconds later I heard a ruffling sound and this time it was Karthik.

Today he had made a protein shake for himself and I saw it when I came to the kitchen. So taking his protein shake-filled bottle he gestured for me to sit on the dining chair. Picking up my mug I took my seat in front of him because if I tried to escape now he would get doubt...

" Why did you run like a little mouse when I came to the house from the gym?" He asked lifting his one eyebrow. Holy shit! I thought he did not see me. " Could you please, let me know your reason "Suddenly he sounded like a stranger.

" N...nothing, " I told him shrugging my head. But his looks told clearly that he did not believe my answer even a little bit.

" Did you the one who tucked me in my bed, yesterday night?" I asked. Drinking his shake, nonchalantly he nodded his head."

" Then why did you not wake me up instead of carrying me to my room?"

He got frustrated with my questions and asked, " Now what's your problem Kayal? " his voice increased a little higher. " Okay if you do not like this too, I will not do that in future. Sorry for carrying you, without your permission while you were sleeping!" He told folding his hands together 🙏 and left the kitchen, taking his shake, before I could explain to him.

What was with this guy? He is soo moody and acts like he was on his period.

" Karthik, tomorrow I have planned to go to work again," I said hesitantly when I saw him working on his laptop inside of his room. His fingers which were typing halted for a moment and again he started his work. " Karthik..." I called him again.

" I don't know, why are you even consulting me when you have already made a decision?" I did not like his tone also his behaviour from the morning.

Since I did not want to fight with him, I did not reply to him anything and asked about my phone which he had with him. Getting up from the sofa, he collected it from his drawer. Without any tantrums, he kept the phone inside of my palm and started doing his work. I really wanted to punch his so-called handsome, idiot face but I could not. Closing his door I went to the kitchen to have my breakfast.

Next Day...

As usual, finishing my work I left the house around seven before Karthik could see me. Karthik totally prohibited me to cook after coming home from the hospital. But today I cooked without minding that idiot. I was so angry with him after what happened yesterday. Let him burn with his stupid anger. Although part of my mind alerted me that I was playing with fire and it was not good for me. In the end, my stubbornness took over me.

So here I was now standing in front of our bakery nervous to face my colleagues. They all knew I was admitted to the hospital but the reason was not revealed yet. Heaving a sigh I entered the building to get a bear hug from non-other than Ruhi, seeing us Ryan also came quickly.

" Oh my God, Akka I was so worried about you. How are you now? Why did you come to the bakery without taking proper rest? What happened to you suddenly? That was unexpected....." Ruhi started to pour out her questions like rain.

" Ruhi, that's enough now. Let her breathe first. " Ryan strictly said to Ruhi and she too left me immediately from her hug.

" Kayal, how are you now?" Ryan asked me politely like he was talking with a child. " Now I am OK. Thank you for both of yours love" I too answered politely looking at both of their faces.

When I was coming from the staff room after changing my dress, I saw Ryan telling something seriously to Ruhi. Seeing me both acted normally like they had not talked about something a few seconds ago.

One thing I forgot to say. That I saw eight missed calls from Karthik when I checked my phone during changing my dress. Maybe I did not hear the ringing tone due to the vehicle's sound.

Why did he call eight times? I was sure Kavya had told him that I left for work because she was there in the living room when I was leaving.

He could have sent me a message but he did not. Only missed calls were there. I did not feel like talking to him. So keeping my phone inside my bag I left the room. Because I had bundles of work since I was absent for few days.

To my amazement, no one open their mouth to question what happened to me. That gave me peace.

Ruhi informed me that Abishek had gone to the bank regarding a loan matter for the upgrading case of the bakery.

Today, the day was hectic with orders and even I skipped my lunch too. Anne told me it was a little hard for her to handle the work without me in the past few days. I felt bad for her.

Around half past six, winding up my work and changing my dress I came out and saw Karthik standing outside of the bakery leaning to his car. He was talking with someone on the phone and still did not see me.

Cautiously, looking around the surrounding, I went near him. When he saw me, he disconnected the call and opened the door to the passenger seat without saying anything still looking at me. Rooting to the same place I looked at him. Because today his aura seemed strange and I was getting worried with his stoic expression. Could not bear with his intense stare I got into the car and he closed the door before taking his seat.

No one dared to open their mouth and today there were no songs too. This silence increases my anxiety and there was an unsaid tension radiating between us.

Reaching near to the house Karthik stopped his car a few blocks away. I gave him a questioning look and without turning to my side he told " Appa has come from the village. If he saw us together it would arise more unwanted questions. So it would be better if you walk to home from here. "

What Appa has come????😳 I did know how to take this matter.

" Okay " Just saying that I got down from the car and stood there until he leaves.

Looking down from car the window he asked " Why are you standing? Start to walk. I will come a few minutes later after you reach out."

Nodding my head I started to walk but deeply I did not want to reach home quickly because of father. I turned my head and saw Karthik did not start his car yet.

After a few minutes, I reached home and knocked on the door hesitantly. Kavya opened the door and looked at my back. I think she was thinking that I came with Karthik. I just shook my head negatively, indicating that he was not there. A relieved sigh escaped from her mouth and she opened the door completely to enter me inside.

The first thing I saw was, father sitting on the sofa and watching some news. Feeling my presence he looked my way but without saying anything again he turned his head towards the TV. I felt that he tried to say something but unfortunately, he did not. Maybe it was my fortune.

When I turned to leave my room I heard a squealing voice and my steps halted guessing who might be it...

Now what is this drama!!!!😳
