"ABHIMAAN'S POV"

"Get out of walk in Vrinda. I'm getting late" I screamed where as all I heard was giggle.

"Or pareshaan karo subah subah mujhe ( Irritate me more in morning) " She replied from inside.

"I just threw water on you because you pissed me off. That didn't hamper your work" I said

"Cold water Mister Abhimaan Kapoor in winters . Which could've made me ill. Now bear this" She sang

"I'll kill you Vrinda" I gritted

"Try that " She mocked and I was fidgeting with the lock but then I sighed cursing under breath.

"Open the damn door yaar or I'm breaking it right now " I banged the door when she opened the door and I glared her.

"Stop glaring me. You started first" She coolly said and left the room.

"Great. Fucking great" I muttered

Getting ready I went downstairs when I saw her playing playstation with Aadi.

"I'll not even wait for a second more for you if you get late" I said

"Go. I'll come on my own" She told

"You're coming with me" I stated

"Nahi aaungi. Aadi ke saath aaungi. Jaao ab (I'll not come. I'll come with Aadi. Now go) " She replied smashing a shot in the game.

"Yess. Watch that" She screamed

"Why did I get married" I muttered

"Heard that" She said

"Was meant to be. I married a mad woman" I spoke

"No one would've married you anyway. Koi hoor ke pare nhi ho aap (You're not a prince ) " She mocked

"To tum konsi hoor ki pari ho (as if you're a beautiful fairy) " I retorted

"Im far better and beautiful then you" She said

"Muh dho kar aaya karo. Vaham bhi dhulega (Wash your face. Your misconception will wash off too) " I retorted

"Guys. Enough. You both aren't four year kids" Mom yelled and I looked at her.

"She started first. I'm already getting late" I reasoned

"He provoked me first" She retorted

"Pagal hai ye poori. 20 din bhi nahi hue shadi ko, typical biwi jaise ladne lagi hai (She's mad. It's 20 days and she has started fighting like a typical wife)" I said and that's now when she glared me and then without a word she left to dining table.

"Abhi what's this behaviour " Mom scolded when I looked at Aadi who frowned.

"She was just teasing you bhai. Stop with your anger issues" He said

The breakfast was a silent affair and then she washed her hands took her bag.

"Bye mom" She mumbled after breakfast.

"Bye" I too said hugging her.

"Compensate it" She said in my ear and I sighed nodding.

But as I turned I found her already walking.

"Vrinda wait" I told but didn't reply.

"Vrinda yaar, I was tensed" I added as we reached the car.

I opened the door of her side when she stopped.

"I can do it. And yes, I'm sorry. For a instance I forget that I didn't have to get too comfortable around you. Though next time don't say something like this in front of mom. It's a facade right Mr.Kapoor, so atleast act properly" She whispered and without a word opened the door of her side and sat inside.

I clenched my fists controlling the anger that I was getting on myself and sitting inside closed the door.

Why the hell was I even listening to her. She doesn't even matter to me.

Reaching office she without a word left where as I drove to court.

It was first hearing and I wanted case to end in maximum three. And as expected the first one went in favor. Gustavo's case was an important one and I was happy that it was going well.

As I reached office back, I saw two people going to canteen but one of them was looking at someone which I wasn't liking at all.

"Eyes away Mr. Sehgal" I boomed when he turned and looked at me.

I took some steps near him and glared him.

"My wife is unaware of this doesn't mean I am. Don't provoke me" I warned

"I didn't do anything sir. My girl friend is standing near her. I'm looking at her. And don't provoke me to tell everyone what happened that night" He smirked

"You fucking bastard. I can throw you right now out of this building. " I glared when he smirked.

"My mouth is shut just because of this job. And you're not throwing me out because of..well you know. So why don't we keep it like that" He smirked

I clenched my fists and looked at him. Just some time and I'll kill this man for thinking that he can force me to do something.

"Eyes away. Or else I'll pull them out" I warned when he chuckled

"Baby" He called and I saw two women turning at the same time.

"Your wife!! " He smirked and I looked at Vrinda looking at me confused but then frowned looking at the person beside me.

Fuckk!! Why did it affect me.

It shouldn't matter to me.

Keeping that aside I went near her and held her hand.

"Let's go" I mumbled and she didn't deny for the first time.

"Abhimaan" She spoke as we reached my cabin and I looked at her.

"You remember the name" I asked and she looked at me for a second.

"I'm sorry" She mumbled and I sighed

"That doesn't affect me. It's fine. But it'll be bad for you. He knows that he still affect you a lot" I shrugged clenching and unclenching my fists under the table.

"Yes surely it doesn't affect you." She muttered where as my eyes were on the pen holder and I had this sudden urge to smash it.

Even the screen in front of me.

"I'm sorry too. For morning. I was a bit tensed about...case " I said and she hummed.

"Hey, how did the hearing go" She asked all of a sudden excited and I looked at her.

No more urge to throw things right!

Not even the screen.

Shut up Abhimaan !!

"Great. Two more. And case will be won" I said

"Good. Very good" She patted my back grinning.

She looks good while smiling. That frown doesn't suit her. And something irks inside me when she frowns.

"What" Her voice made me look at her.

"Haste hue daayan lagti ho (You look like a witch while laughing) " I teased

"Anabelle naa. Aapko hi raat ko daraaungi. Ab dekho. Heart attack aayega (Anabelle right. I'll frighten you in night. Now see you'll get a heart attack) " She said

"Shut up idiot. Had your lunch" I asked

"Was going to. But saw two disgusting.. Actually three disgus.. " She was saying with a smirk when I spoke.

"Complete that and I'll throw you from this floor" I said and she giggled

"You're fun to tease" She grinned slapping my shoulder.

"Excuse me. I'm not your personal property" I spoke

"On papers yes Mr. Abhimaan Kapoor. You're my personal property" She smirked again

"Who are you again? " I asked

"Aapki biwi (Your wife) " She sassily said

"Or mai tumhara pati. To ap chup karo, be a nice wife and lunch order karo (And I'm your husband. So now shut up and order food) " I told

"I'll eat with my friend. You can sulk here and eat alone as always. Lonely person" She mocked

"Nikalo fir (Get lost then) " I said and she hid her smile and jumped on the table.

"Vrinda. That's my work table" I protested

"Sush. It won't break due to my weight" She said

"Table pe kisi or reason se baithi ho naa (You've sat on table for some other reasons right) " I asked when she looked at me and then her eyes widened.

"Shut up. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai (It's nothing like that) " Her cheeks were red and I chuckled.

"I didn't even say anything. Soch to hai ghatiya tumhari (Your thinking is really Dorty) " I smirked

"Go away. " She whined when I smirked putting my hands on both sides of table and leaned towards her.

"Abhimaan" She whispered and I smirked taking the phone from the table and pulled away.

"Soch soch ki baat hai (It's just about different thinkings) " I smirked and without a word dialled canteen.

"Lunch for two in cabin" I ordered and cut the call.

"Besharam (Shameless) " She muttered

"Dikha vo to kaun hai (I saw that who's shameless) " I replied

"You are annoying" She whined again frowning

"Don't frown. And no I'm not annoying. You get annoyed easily" I told

"No. You're annoying. You find ways to piss me off" She said

"Don't give me that powers then" I shrugged and for a moment there was silence.

"Why was Rehaan looking at you with that nasty smirk" She asked

Something she doesn't know.

Something I don't want to tell her. Because she'll take it on her self respect.

And I don't know why but I can't let that happen. Neither I can let anything happen to her image, especially her public image now.

Just image Abhimaan?

Shut up Sub conscious.

"Nothing that should concern you" I told

"I'm a lawyer Mr. Ka.. " She was saying when I glared her.

"Abhimaan" She said with a small smile.

"Good" I muttered

"You can't lie on my face without me knowing a little bit. Twenty days are enough to know when you're lying" She said

"I'll handle it Vrinda. You've one thing to focus. Your next case. And another thing, you don't know me" I said and before she could say there was a knock on the door.

The staff plated the lunch on the table and she looked keenly at the cabin and then at the food.

Once the staff left she looked at me.

"Your canteen serves delicious smoothies. Especially blueberry smoothie " She said

"Haven't tried ever. " I told as we both sat on the couch and she looked at me.

"Why are you being nice to me today" She asked and I chuckled.

"It's not humanly possible to be in bad mood everyday" I replied

"Your replies are so.. Peculiar. Why?" She said

"Eat Vrinda. I'm not the prime suspect of your case " I told and she nodded.

"I got to know today that you were born in London " She asked

"Who told you that" I questioned

"Mom obviously" She replied

"My maternal house is in London. I was born there. Then went back to Delhi. Had education there and then came back again to NY " I told

"But, AK corporation is just three years old. You've got so damn good fame in just three years. Impressive" She spoke

"Hey. You didn't even come to States after taking your Harvard masters Degree. What did you do in India" She asked

"Lawyer hu. Kya karunga yar Vrinda.( I'm a lawyer what else I'll do Vrinda)" I said bit irritated because her questions were so dumb.

"Then why did you come here leaving your own country" She frowned

"More scope. The same reason you're here" I replied and she sighed yet nodded.

The lunch was again a silent affair and after a minute she looked at me and then sighed.

"Bye" She mumbled and left from there where as I kept looking at her disappearing figure.

Sighing I too got back to the work and at night left for home.

Thankfully Vrinda keeps office just like office. She even knocks before coming inside my cabin. She's focused.

As usual Vrinda slid the window glass down and put her head on the side.

Cool breeze hitting her face making her nose red again.

I'm sure she takes one nap from office till home.

"You asleep again" I spoke

"You do speak in cars" She asked

"I used to think you sleep. So didn't disturb" I told

"Nope" She said and I hummed.

"When did you meet Rehaan" I asked and she looked at me but I felt her getting uneasy.

"It's okay you don't need to tell" I said and she nodded.

"I thought you know about me from tip to toe" She mumbled

"Do you want me to tell your sizes" I asked

"Why are you so double meaning" She asked with a face.

"I was talking about pin size and shoe size" I smirked

"Yeah sure" She made a face.

"I know about you. About basics. And as of Rehaan, Nope I didn't find it in your tip to toe" I said

Lie! I know every single thing about her.

"Stop using this and how did you" She asked surprised

"That night, when you kis.. " I was saying when she glared me and I chuckled.

"That night I saw him and that woman other then Neil and Anjali and of course him running behind you, Wasn't a science to know who he was. And then the face was little familiar. After a day saw them both at office. Joined the dots of your reason for not joining" I told and she sighed and closed her eyes again.

"You're not over him" I asked

"Of course I'm over him. He's a bloody cheater. Motherfu.. " She was saying when I looked at her.

"My Goodness. Abhadr bhasha biwi (Abusive language wife) " I asked with a chuckle and she sighed.

"I was going to propose him that night" She said after a while.

"Bura wala kata hai tumhara to (You've been messed bad) " I chuckled when she glared me.

"I swear I'll throw you out of the car Abhimaan" She warned

"Okay okay. Well the bastard didn't deserve that. " I said

"I know. Asshole was two timing" She muttered

"So where's the ring" I asked

"Threw somewhere" She said

"Was that so cheap" I asked

"17 lakhs" She muttered

"And you threw it" I raised a brow.

"I'm not dumb" She snapped

"You're" I mocked

"I just returned it. Got my cash back and bought myself a pendent" She said

"Good work wife" I proudly told

" Fake wife" She pressed the words which I ignored.

We all had dinner while mom asking me if I compensated and I told we had lunch date.

"You're such a smooth lier. Lunch date" Vrinda snapped as soon as we came to the room.

"So, we had lunch together didn't we" I said

"If I would've known that you're so clever bitch I won't have had lunch with you" She gritted her teeth.

"I didn't lie" I smirked

"That wasn't a date. And I won't ever go on a date with you" She groaned

"As if I'm going to take you on one" I mocked

"You! You Abhimaan Kapoor. I Hate You So Much. More then.. Yes more then cockroach" She angrily said pointing her finger at me when I hid my smile.

"Feelings very mutual Fake wife" I mocked her own words

"I'll go on a date tomorrow now. See." She said

"You'll break the rule of contract. Try that" I shrugged

"Ugh. I Hate you" She screamed

"Saying one thing twice won't have different meaning" I said

"Go To Hell Abhimaan" She yelled

"Heaven's not even of my taste" I replied and this time received a pillow from that pillow boundary which I catched.

"Badi jaldi hai ye boundary todne ki. Fir bologi ki mai tumhari side aata hu (You're so eager to break this boundary and then you'll say I come to your side) " I mocked

"Dafa ho jaao meri nazaro ke saamne se (Get lost from my sight) " She glared

"You can't resist looking at me that's why you saying this" I said with a smirk and turned on the music.

"You know what. I wish you fall off the bed in sleep and break two front teeth" She cursed and covering herself with comforters slept where as a small smile came on my lips.

Tera mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi...
Tera Tujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Maane Tu Ya Maane Na....

Tera mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi
Yoonhi Nahin Dil Lubhaata Koi....

She's cute. No doubt the way she narrows her eyes and scrunches her nose in anger, she looks damn cute. And then when she tries to raise her toes to reach atleast some decent height to me, she looks more cute.

I took my phone, mac book and went to office room.

Something was pulling me towards her in just twenty days.

Don't know what! Didn't want to know.
