Writer's pov

Nimmi looked around in her room...it was painted in beautiful beige with a coral tint.
She loved the open balcony and to her surprise, she saw Atharva had a balcony too, adjacent to hers.
She smiled at the only mode of connection between these two for now.

An idea came to her mind and she typed something in her mobile walking inside her new room.

She settled her clothes in the closet and she was happy to see the beautiful washroom attached to it.

She especially loved the vintage bathtub.

After all her work, she was famished.
She decided to go to the kitchen and cook something for herself.
And from there on, she wanted to go for some general shopping.

She walked towards the kitchen and she to her luck, Atharva was there making some coffee for him.
She watched him in awe....he looked really involved in his work....he didn't even notice her near him.

You know, it's bad manners not to offer coffee to your fiance! - she spoke playfully

Atharva got startled with sudden interruption and his coffee fell on his hands....burning his skin...he hissed in pain and glared at Nimmi.

Nimmi panicked - Oh My God!!! You... You are burnt..... I... I am... So... Sorry Atharva.... I.... Really... Didn't...

She held his hands and began blabbering - Where were you lost Atharva....look it has become red...oh god....it must be burning so much... You should be careful na....it's all my fault....i shouldn't have....

Just shut up!
Are you happy now!?!
You did it on purpose, right!?!
I knew it! You are here to trouble me!
Are you happy now??? - he shouted cutting her off

She ignored his hateful words and held his hand and blew soft air....she then hurriedly got some ice from the fridge and rubbed his hands with it.

Atharva was stunned... But soon...tried to snatch his hand from her hold but she didn't let it go.

She asked - where is the first aid box??
You need to apply some Anti inflammatory cream.

No need! It's not that Bad! I am fine!
Now, if you will leave my hand....i need to go for work! - Atharva spoke without an emotion

Nimmi just watched his retreating self.
Few tears gathered in the corners of her eyes but she quickly wiped them.

Gaining his forgiveness, now became a challenge for her. She decided that she will win him back no matter what.

With determined mind, she went inside her room and called her family.

She told them about Atharva's cold behavior towards her...Both her mom and dad encouraged her to put more efforts and ignore Atharva's words...as he is still feeling hurt.

After she talked to her parents, she made sandwiches for her as well as Atharva, as he was still in his studies.

She knew, he didn't eat anything as there was no food prepared.

She left the sandwiches on the kitchen counter with a sticker.

And she knocked on his doors...but he didn't respond....so she just informed him that she was going out to get some groceries.

But Atharva didn't budge....as he had put his earplugs .....but nimmi didn't see that...so she walked away.

She Googled the nearby places and found a local market.

She called for a taxi and reached the market.
She was mesmerized to watch the surrounding areas.....it was a very beautiful country.... The architecture...The clean Streets were all so welcoming.

She got so lost in streets and the local market that she didn't notice the time....and the incoming calls.

Finally, after an hour or so, She thought to ask Atharva if he needed anything from the market but to her horror, her battery had died. She quickly gathered the required things and took a cab to return back to the apartment.

The door banged open with only a single ring....and nimmi stepped back looking at a shaking Atharva.

He pulled her with her arms....not even caring about the shopping bags falling...he yelled - Where the Fuck have you been all this while?

Don't you have common sense...to lift up the calls!?!

I called you zillion times....but you...you were roaming around carelessly!

Do you have any idea, how much sick worried I was!

This is the heights of stupidity!

At least you could have told me that you were going out!

God! You are so stupid!

Nimmi spoke - But.... I did tell you that I was going out for shopping.
And about your calls...i didn't know.. Because my battery had died.

Wow! How easily can you lie!?!
When did you tell me that you were leaving??? - he asked in his cold tone

Nimmi began to explain - Listen.... I... But he cut her off.

At least behave as per your age Miss Joshi!
Now that you are here, you are my responsibility!
I have to give answers to your parents! - he spoke irritated

But all she could hear was that he considered her as his responsibility!

She smiled looking ta Atharva and he frowned.

Why are you smiling like an idiot, woman? - he asked her

It's nice to know that You still care for me! - nimmi spoke shrugging her shoulders

Whatever! - he muttered

Nimmi picked up the bags and reached the kitchen counter and saw that Atharva had eaten the sandwiches.

She smiled and put the plates away looking at Atharva.

Both their eyes met and Atharva felt uncomfortable.

Clearing his throat he said - Next time, Do not cook for me!
I ate those because I hate to waste Food.!

The maid will come and cook for me...today she is on leave! - he added

It's ok Atharva! It was meant for you only...!
By the way, Did you like it??? - she asked with hope

I have eaten better! - he spoke walking away

But that did not stop nimmi to smile at his childish comment.

She thought - Atharva you amuse me!
Sometimes, you go all angry young man....and sometimes you behave like a baby!
But whatever it is, I like to see all your reactions.

And I promise you, I will take care of you.
I know, I have hurt you bad...but soon you will forgive me!

With that she left for her room and did the one thing she thought she would do first upon reaching home.

She took out a metal Wind chimes and hung it in her balcony.

Now, she was sure....whenever Atharva would come to his balcony she would know.

She giggled at the thought when she would watch him.

Later,She cooks his favorite food.....she was sure Atharva would like the food so
She called him to have dinner.

But Atharva denied on her face and asked her to leave him alone as he didn't want her company.

Discouraged, she went away...but didn't eat dinner herself too and reached her room and tried to sleep.

Hours later, both of them could not sleep as they were dead hungry.

Atharva decides to go check for food in the kitchen and saw all his favourite food inside the fridge.

He smiled and put everything in the microwave and began to serve.

But he was interrupted when nimmi touched his shoulder.

He stiffed at her touch nad closed his eyes in embarrassment.

I... I....was just....i will leave.....he said but nimmi beat him and spoke -
Atharva, I know you are hungry....and honestly I have Tom and Jerry running around my stomach.

In fact, I can not eat empty stomach!

Look, I know you are upset with me...but please don't be angry on this food!

Let's call peace and eat our dinner!

Atharva thought for a while but his back luck his stomach grumbled and he cursed.

Nimmi chuckled at that and served food for both of them and gestured him to eat.

Atharva sat obediently this time and then both of them ate their food in silence....but it was a comfortable silence.

Nimmi began to wash the dishes but Atharva helped her too this time without any resistance.

Isn't it cute!
Both of them are caring yet fighting.

But hopefully soon, they will resolve their issues and would be back on track!

Well, at least we can dream!
