Roshni

I went out after crying my heart out. I was about to reach the bed when he came in between. I tried to go from the left side but he was being stubborn.

"Roshni Listen to me", He said.

"You want me to sleep on the floor", I asked. He shook his head.

"Then move out of my way", I told him.

"Roshni at least listen to me once", He asked. I shook my head.

"I have heard enough. I don't want to hear anything", I told him. He pushed his hair back in frustration before leaving my way. I sat on the bed and made a pillow wall between us. I don't want him to sleep on the floor nor I want him anywhere near me so it's the best thing.

"What are you doing?", He said with frustration as he started removing them.

"I am telling you for the last time. I will sleep on the floor if you didn't stop", I told him in a cold voice and he stopped immediately. 

I lied on my side facing my back to him.

"But you can't sleep alone. You are scared", He tried to reason out. I laughed at his reason humorlessly.

"I realized quite late humans are scarier than any other thing in the world", I told him while pulling the comforter till my neck. He didn't say anything after that and I am glad he didn't.

After all this crying and emotional outburst, I felt my body curling closer in the warmth of the comforter and soon I fall asleep. Though I think I did cross my limits today. I never raised my voice in front of Anav Ji but it was him who pushed me to do so.

I woke up with a loud sound. I looked around with my sleepy eyes but couldn't see anything. Rubbing my eyes I switched on the lamp to see food all over the floor with the utensils lying around in a mess. What the hell?

I looked up to see Anav Ji trying to clean the mess.

"What are you doing?", I asked leaning my chin on my palm resting my elbow on the bed. He looked like a small kid caught while stealing chocolate. He looked nervous yet irritated. His hair was still wet due to his bath and now his clothes are having the stains of milk and other food items.

"Breakfast in bed", He said slowly giving me his best smile. I gave him a blank look. His smile soon vanished after he observed my mood.

"Why?", I asked looking at the mess. Do I have to clean it now? Of course, the great Anav Khurana is not knowing how to clean this mess. I am not waking up right now. My head is too heavy. I winced a little as I rest my head on the pillow. He was immediately on my side checking my temperature.

"Oh god Roshni You have a fever", He shouted and I covered my ear. He mumbled some curses under his breath.

"That is what happens when you cry for so long and take so much tension", He scolded me.

"You shouldn't care", I whispered to which he glared at me.

He started making some calls shouting at the other person who was the doctor maybe. He was on the balcony so I considered it the right time to take a bath. Maybe a warm bath can help me in relaxing my sour muscles.

I heard a knock on the door as I was taking a bath.

"What the hell are you doing Roshni? You should take a rest", He shouted from outside.

"You are not my father to shout orders at me. I would do what I like", I told him. I heard a bang. Maybe he kicked the door in frustration. Suit yourself Anav Khurana.

After half an hour I came out. I really think I shouldn't have taken that bath. My head is blasting at the moment. I felt arms supporting me. 

"That's why I asked you to rest. You don't always have to act stubborn", He whispered in my ear. I sighed pressing my head.

"I called my friend. He would be here at any moment. You won't have to be in pain for a longer time", He said making me lie in the bed and covered me with the comforter.

"I don't have the energy to answer you back. Oh god, I would die with this pain", I winced. I can't even talk at the moment.

"Shh.., You don't have to speak. I don't why are you even speaking", He started blubbering. I kept my hand on his lips to stop him.

"And you are talking too much", I told him

"And it is definitely adding to my headache", I completed as he sighed. We heard the knock on the door. He went to open the door. A good looking man of his age came inside with a bright smile on his lips. But his smile soon disappeared as Anav Ji smacked his head. 

"I never wanted to meet you like this Bhabhi. But seems like it is like this only", He said as he pulled a chair near the bed.

"She is having a fever", Anav Ji told him sitting beside me on the bed.

"I can see that dude. And I am the doctor here not you so stop interfering", He said giving him a pointed look.

"Shlok don't speak much and do your work", Anav Ji warned him.

"How do you even keep up with this arrogant man", He asked me. I choose to shake my head at this question. He did my check-up while Anav Ji was sitting beside me all the time.

"She is fine just weak and stressed. Take care of her Anav. I wonder what kind of stress can the wife of Anav Khurana have", He asked looking at me then laughed.

"Of course Anav Khurana is himself enough to stress you out", He said.

"Work is over. Get out", Anav Ji said. How rude?

"Come on dude. Don't act like this I need to be in Mumbai at that time that's why wasn't there", He said. What are they talking about? Forget about it I am too tired to think about it.

"I don't care about your location. Right, I care about Roshni only", He said. God help me. Why is he acting like this? He didn't really care about me before and now suddenly he is all I am worried about Roshni only.

Who am I kidding he was always too caring for me? Even when he was rude he always makes sure I was having my food on time. How can a man be so complicated or every man in this world is like him only, A maze. My head will blast if I would think too much about him. He is a mystery and I don't have any energy left to solve it. I need sleep and they are talking non-stop.

"See Bhabhi got ill because of your arrogance. I pity her how she is staying with a stupid man like you", He was saying when I hid my face with the comforter. 

"Let her rest Anav. Don't speak much she would get irritated easily", He told Anav Ji and I heard shuffling. Maybe he left. I know I was rude but I couldn't really do anything. I am not well you can't blame me.

"Roshni Have your food", I heard him.

"I don't want to eat anything", I told him hiding my face. I felt him pulling the comforter from me but I denied to give in.

"Roshni see you can get angry later. Have your breakfast then you have to take your medicine", He told me pulling it with greater strength and this time pulled it away from him. I started crying because of body aches.

"Why are you crying now?", He asked pulling me in his arms.

"Stay away from me. I want my mother. Call my mother", I told him pushing him away.

"Calm down Roshni. Your health will go worse if you didn't stop", He told me trying to reach me.

"Stay away from me. You are a player. You played with my feelings. I hate you. Don't touch me. Stay away from me. Your touch makes me feel disgusted with myself", I shouted at him sobbing on the pillow.

"Roshni listen", He tried to reach me as I hid my face in the pillow. I cried remembering whole his words and this body ache wasn't helping.

"I hate you. Go away from me", I shouted as I felt him caressing my back trying to calm me down.

"Roshni please let me take care of you. You are not well at this moment. You are doing the same mistake I did. Please calm down you can shout as much as you want later", He told me taking me in his arms as I struggled in his grip.

"Please", He whispered in my ear painfully. I sobbed hiding my face in his chest.

"Shh.. I know it is hurting. Let me take care of you", He told me as he made me have food slowly having me in his arms. Later cradling me in his arms like a baby. I sobbed softly as he whispered sweet things in my ear and made me have my medicines.

"Go to your office", I told him pushing him away.

"Don't tell me what to do. Let me take care of you", He said hugging me close to his heart. I sighed as he patted my back like I was a little baby.

I sobbed softly hiding my face in his chest.

"Calm down my love it's fine. I am here", He said trying to calm me down and soon I fall asleep.

I woke up with the comforter covering me till my neck and a wet cloth on my forehead. I sighed removing the cloth and keeping it aside.

I looked around and found him on the couch with his laptop having his glasses on his eyes.

Damn, I feel so light-headed.

I removed the comforter and was about to keep my feet on the floor.

"Stop", He shouted making me jump back on the bed.

He came towards me and kept my slippers in front of me.

"You still have a fever if you forgot. I spoke to your mother and she said your fever increases after you sleep so in the bed the whole day", He ordered me. I gave him a really look.

"What makes you think I would listen to you?", I asked him.

"If you don't want me to take your delicate body in my strong arms and throw you on this bed then you would do as I told you", He told me making me huff.

"Why are you doing this? If you think you can change me back to that old Roshni by doing these things than you are so wrong", I told him wearing the slippers. I was about to leave when he caught my wrist.

"There is no old or new Roshni", He said as I turned to him with raised eyebrows. He stood up looking into my eyes.

"You are my Roshni and however you try to hate me you can't do this. I messed up everything right then it's my responsibility to make everything right. I will prove to you I am the best husband you can ask for and this marriage wasn't really a mistake", He said still looking confidently in my eyes.

"Go get freshen up I will bring food", he said as he caressed my cheek before going out of the room. What just happened?

He didn't mean what he said? Or did he? 

Why do I feel like he was up to something?

Whatever you do Anav Khurana I would never trust you again. You broke my trust from love and trust once broken is impossible to build again.

Here is your update. Frankly speaking, I am not well. 

I have an allergy to dust and pollution and since Diwali is approaching I am having a sour throat and cough. I am sneezing every 5 seconds. Pray for my well being so I could update early. I thought it had been long since I updated so here is it. Do comment and vote. I am updating even when I am not well.

What do you think about Anav's caring behavior? 

And he seems to be too confident to get his Roshni back. Share your views. I would enjoy reading them. I assure you she wouldn't be easy on Anav. Roshni is a strong character after all.

Till next time................
