Varun's POV:

I hate when my family asks me to do some very stupid things. They know we have nothing like husband and wife, then why they keep forcing things on us?

Last night, no doubt I directly came to my room without replying anything and it was Misha who had to face all the questions asked by Arya. As Arya was here, I was sure that Dadi will be here too and yes, she came here today morning unfortunately I can't sit and talk with her because I have some important work to do.

"Leaving already?" Dadi asked as she entered my room.

"Yes dadi, I have some work." I replied. She came and ran her hand over my head, I tried to dodge it but it was too late.

"Are you sick?" She asked.

"No." I replied and moved aside.

"Stop running from me, Tell me, are you sick?" She asked as she followed me.

"No Dadi." I tried to make her understand but then again, she came and made me stand straight. She touched my forehead, my neck and then finally my cheeks.

"You are Sick Varun, why are you even going to office?" She asked angrily.

"It's just a little fever, it will go away soon. Don't worry." I replied and took my watch from the table.

"Keep it down, you are not going anywhere." She said and snatched my watch from me.

"What happened?" Arya asked standing at the door as Dadi immediately told her everything.

"Wait, I will call Misha bhabhi." Arya said and ran downstairs. now why would she even go and call Misha?

We didn't had to wait for a long time, Misha immediately came and stood next to me with a concerned face.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Didn't you know, he has fever?" Dadi asked. Misha looked at me and then back at Dadi, obviously​ because she was confused on what to reply.

"Of course, she won't know that. Yesterday they both were not sleeping in one room." Arya said.

"It's ok. Now she knows, she will take care of him." Dadi stated.

"I will go and bring breakfast for you."  She said and left my room along with Arya, leaving Me and Misha alone.

"Now where do you think you are going?" Misha asked as she saw me wearing my watch.

"Office." I replied.

"Is it that necessary? You are not well, you should rest."

"Yes, it's important." I replied.

"What is it? Aarav will handle whatever it is, you should rest."

"Misha, stop being typical like them. It's just a normal fever, stop acting like I have some major sickness." I said.

"Dadi." She shouted.

"I'm here. What happened?" Dadi asked entering my room.

"He wants to go to office."

"Keep quite. Come and sit here." Dadi said and made me sit on the bed.

"You are not going anywhere." She stated and started feeding me.

"I will go and inform Aarav." Misha said and left. why are they so stubborn?

After Dadi was done feeding me, she gave me medicine and ordered me to sleep.

"I'm not sleepy Dadi, I really have some important work, let me go." I pleaded.

"Shut up. We are going to temple, if you need something tell Misha, She is here."

"Misha, take proper care of him till we return, ok?" Dadi asked.

"Sure, I will. Don't worry." Misha replied.

"I trust you." Dadi said and left. Misha went and sat on the couch while her eyes were focused on me.

"Are you going to sit here?" I asked.

"Of course. Dadi told me to take care of you."

"I'm not a small child Misha, stop this." I complained. I don't need someone to monitor me continuously.

"A small child is better than you, at least they listen. You don't." She said making me glare at her. I don't know what was it that she found so funny but she started laughing.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." She said still laughing.

After what happened on the day of her birthday, I thought everything between us will be awkward but it was not. I guess I was overthinking however it was not my mistake, I wasn't expecting that Kiss, after Tanvi and my family, it's only Misha who has dared to do it. No doubt I was very shocked, my heart hammered against my chest and the way Misha went from there, I thought she must be regretting it but the situation is completely different, there was no sign of regret.

"Misha, please let me go, I have some important work." I pleaded but again got the same reply that she won't let me do it.

"Do you want Dadi to come and scold me? Moreover, Aarav said there isn't any important work, stop lying."

Why can't Aarav keep his mouth shut?

I got up to get my laptop as I was bored sitting there.

"What are you doing now?" Misha asked.

"Getting my laptop, shall I please?" I asked as she shook her head.

"Why can't you sit and rest? or sleep maybe."

"I'm not sick misha, please try to understand." I pleaded again.

"I know you are not sick. You are just acting."

"And why would I do that?" I asked immediately. why would she even think that I'm acting?

"Because you were jealous. You saw everyone pamper me when I was sick, you got jealous and so you are acting." She said and giggled. When she saw that I wasn't laughing at her joke, she stopped.

"Come on man, I'm trying to make you smile but here you are still the same, angry man as always."

"I'm not angry, I'm bored." I replied.

"I tried to make you smile but you didn't."

"Tried to make me smile by saying what? I'm acting because I was jealous?" I asked as she started laughing again.

"Ok, I'm a bad at jokes, fine? Watch some movie, maybe you won't feel bored." She suggested.

"No, it's ok. I will just rest." I said as I came and sat on the bed again.

"What's up between you and Dadi?" I asked.

"What between us?" She asked back.

"I have noticed, you aren't much friendly with her like you are with everyone else."

"It's nothing like you think, why would I be weird with her?" She asked and tried to show that nothing is wrong however I know there is something, I have noticed it so many times, Misha is never happy when Dadi is home.

"There are some liars who always avoid looking at people, you are one of them." I stated.

"It's because I'm not lying." She replied instantly.

"You are not even looking at me, moreover your face clearly says that you are lying."

"Ok fine. I agree I was lying. There are some reason for which I don't feel comfortable to talk with her, now that I said the truth, don't hate me more." She said.

"What reason?" I asked.

"I'm not allowed to say. Call me toxic but I don't like faking things, if I'm not comfortable with her, I will avoid her instead of faking that everything is good, that's not my personality."

"Ok, I won't ask you the reason but I'm thankful that whatever reason it is, you have never been rude to her." I said.

"My parents taught me to respect our elders no matter if they are wrong or not."

"Nice. Talking about your parents, did they say something about me after your birthday?" I asked.

"Man, mom asked me a hell lot of questions. I never told them anything about us, Dad didn't ask anything but mom, she was too curious, only I know, how difficult it was for me to answer her." She said and sighed.

"I'm sorry. It's all because of me." I apologized.

"It's ok. Will you talk with her if she calls me, please?" Misha asked very innocently.

"Of course, whenever you want, should we call now?" I asked as her eyes bloomed with happiness.

"Really? mumma will be very happy." She said as I immediately took my phone and called her Dad. We talked for sometime and then he handed the phone to Mom. As Misha said, she was very happy. Glad,she was happy.

"Thank you so much, I love you." Misha said happily.

Misha's POV:

Wrong said! Why do I always make the situation awkward? Now he will again stop talking to me.

"I'm sorry and Thank you so much." I said as he simply nodded.

"Thank you." He said making me confused.

"For?"

"Taking care of Tanvi's parents and making them happy. Thank you so much." He replied. how does he knows that?

"Well, there's no need to say thank you. I did what I felt was right." I said as he nodded again.

"How do you know?" I asked after few seconds.

"I have my ways of finding everything." He replied proudly. liar.

"It was Dadi who forced Mom to make you marry me, right?" He asked giving me another shock. does he know the truth? Then why he never said it earlier.

"You knew about it?" I asked as he nodded.

"Since a long time." he replied.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? And why were you still angry with mom?"

"I came to know about it after you agreed to find the truth which I kept denying. I was fooling myself. I never thought Dadi would do this to me." He replied.

"How can you be so sweet with her after knowing everything?" I asked because if I was in his place, I would have never be able to be good with the person who is reason for my sadness.

"I love her. What she did was totally wrong but I can't help it, she is very close to me. Even if I try, I can't hate her."

"Yeah, right, you can only hate me." I murmured but my bad, he heard it.

"I don't hate you." he stated.

"You don't love me either." I murmured this time a little louder so that he can hear it and I know he did but this time he didn't say anything. idiot.

"Mom was very hurt when you stopped talking to her. She told me not to tell you the truth." I said.

"I know. I'm very guilty about that."

"It's ok. You both are in good terms now and that's something which matters, forget about whatever happened." I said trying to ease the situation.

"By the way, how did you came to know about this?" I asked and again got the same reply 'I have my ways of finding everything' however there was a additional statement this time.

"Except for one thing." he said sadly.

"What is it?" I asked as he shook his head.

"Tell me, what is it?" I demanded.

"It's nothing Misha." He replied. I kept asking him and he kept denying, I knew he was getting angry but I didn't stop because anger always reveals everything that a person is hiding.

"There is something Varun. There is something which you are hiding from everyone, something which is not letting you live happily. You might be smiling but that's never your genuine smile. There's something disturbing you, what is it, tell me." I asked and this time I got my answer.

"Ok, there is a reason and it's the fact that, The day when Tanvi met that accident she called me and told me to meet her because she wanted to say something. You know what, she never got a chance to say that and I won't be able to find it ever."
