Swara's POV-

Over the week, I was pampered by Aditya. He did not let me do anything. I was enjoying it a lot too much but by Saturday, I was bored.

My leg was completely healed so I decided to get out.

" Swara, I think you should take it easy." Aditya said.

" Please Aditya, this is so boring. I have to get out or I'll get mad." I whined to which he chuckled.

He was working on his laptop in the living room.

" Why do you work so much?" I asked, bored.

" Because I like doing what I do." He replied, without looking at the screen.

I rolled my eyes.

" I am going out in the lawn for sometime." I told him and walked out of the house.

I sat on the swing and started reading my novel.

" Swara...come and have lunch." I heard Aditya address me.

What? Was it lunch time! Woahh.

" Okay." I replied, got up and walked inside with him.

After lunch, he started working again and I called Aryan.

" Hey Aryan." I said.

" S, we start college from tomorrow!" He exclaimed.

" What? How do you know?" I asked.

" There's a message. Check." He instructed and I did.

Indeed, college was opening from tomorrow.

" I am so not prepared! I thought that we'd atleast have one more week to ourselves before we start." I cribbed.

" I know. Tanya needs to go shopping? Do you?" He asked.

Thinking about it, yes, I needed to shop.

" Pick me up?" I asked him.

" No. I'll take you." I heard another voice from the hall. It was Aditya.

" Hold on." I said to Aryan.

" No Aditya. I'll go with them. It's alright." I said, addressing him.

" Swara, get ready. We are going out." He said, a little sternly and walked to his room.

" Leave it Aryan...my supposed husband suddenly wants to accompany me for my shopping." I said, pressing my lips into the thin line.

" Good S, atleast you guys are coming like....on track." He said.

" Nothing like that Aryan. It's just that we have turned friends because we live in the same house." I replied.

" Friendship is the first step S. Now stop pushing him away if he is trying to come close." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" I'll see you tomorrow Aryan and please, stop being a know it all." I said and he laughed.

We hung up and I went to my room to get ready and then knocked on Aditya's door.

" Come in." He said and I walked in.

" Let's go?" I asked.

He was ready wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans with some super attractive cologne.

" Yes." He said and we started walking out, towards the parking.

" I still fail to understand why would you come with me. Not that we mean anything to each other." I remarked.

" Who said that you don't mean anything to me? You're my wife Swara and it's my responsibility to make sure that you're tend to." He said.

" But I could have managed it on my own." I confessed, honesty.

" I know, but I was done with work and had nothing to do." He replied and then I shut up.

Thank God he did not leave his work for me. I would have felt guilty.

" By the way, I start college from tomorrow." I told him.

" Good. The driver will drop you." He said.

" No...I'll drive my scooty." I countered.

" No." He replied.

I rolled my eyes.

" I wasn't asking for your permission. I was informing you." I added.

" Swara...your college is on the highway and lots of trucks and tanks use that road. It's not safe. Also, when will the cars be put to use?" He asked, smugly.

" This is not fair." I shouted.

" No tantrums Swara. Please try and understand." Aditya said.

" I am breaking the truce contract. I hate you." I huffed and started looking out of the window.

" Such an asshole. Why is he this way God!! Always telling me what to do. Such an arrogant jerk." I muttered to myself.

" I hope you know that I can hear each and every word you're saying." He said.

I looked at him, annoyed only to find him smirking while looking at the road with his shades on.

He looked hot, smoking hot.

Shut up Swara! Why do you always have to go on how he is looking!? I know he looks like he has straight walked off from some modelling magazine but that does not make him any less of an irritating person!!

" We are here." He said while parking the car.

" Thank you." I replied, getting out and without waiting for him, walked inside the mall.

Ha! Totally deserved it for snatching my independence away.

I was looking at a few clothes when I fell husband dearest, note the sarcasm, hovering over me.

" What?" I asked as he was glaring at me.

" Nothing." He replied, rolling his eyes and selected a few more clothes.

I was done trying the clothes and we proceeded to the counter for payment.

I was about to give my debit card but Aditya beat me to it.

" I can pay for myself." I told him sternly.

He ignored me and made the payment.

" You know what, you're becoming like that controlling person who wants everything to go as per his wish." I said, whisper yelling.

" Listen Swara, this is what every husband does for his wife and moreover, I like spending on you. So stop this yelling." He muttered back.

" But I don't like you spending on me. It's not like I'm your real wife." I told him.

" Real wife? You are my only wife for f*ck's sake. Your marriage is valid and legal so how are you not my real wife?" He asked.

" I don't know.....because we don't love each other and never will?" I said, sarcastically.

" Who ruled that possibility out that I can never love you?" He questioned back.

" That's not an answer to my question!!" I exclaimed.

" The question is...do you hate me so much that you'll never be able to love me?" He asked a question again.

" I don't like hate hate you. I just say that when I'm annoyed. No no...don't think that your not an as*hole...that you are but I don't hate you. Also, that is not the answer to my question!" I said.

" That's the only think I wanted to hear and everything else will fall into place as it is meant to be. Also, glad to know that I still hold the as*hole position in your heart." He taunted.

" You are so irritating my god! Now, I'm confused. What was my question??" I exclaimed.

He just smirked as we walked towards the car and he started driving as we sat.

I was fiddling with my phone when the car came to hault.

" This is not your house." I remarked.

" No Swara...this is not our home. Come on. Let's have dinner." He said an we got down.

It was a very posh kind of restaurant and I was clearly underdressed for the part. Him on the other hand looked like

Duh! I don't care. I can walk in rags and I'd still look good.

He placed his hand slightly on my shoulder, leaving sparks all over.

Jesus Christ! Is he electroman!?

As we sat, the manager looked a little taken aback.

" Good evening sir. I had no idea that you had reservation." He said, with fear.

" I did not. It's an impromptu dinner. Table for two." He said.

The manager nodded and walked us to a relatively secluded table and left us alone.

" Why was he so afraid of you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

" Because I'm his boss." He replied, smirking.

" This is your restaurant?" I asked, shocked.

He nodded.

" I had no idea that you were into the hospitality industry also." I remarked.

" I invest in a lot of markets." He replied and I nodded.

He then ordered food for us and I dug in.

" Amazing." I said, taking the first morsel.

" Thank you." He replied, making me roll my eyes.

" You didn't cook this." I deadpanned.

" But I hired the chef." Was his stupid comeback. He was smirking, looking insanely good looking stupid.

" You're a gone case. Are you sure you don't want me to book a mental asylum for you?" I asked, feeling perplexed.

" Just eat Swara." He said, sighing. No comebacks, I see.

I rolled my eyes again and continued to eat.

We were done soon and after Aditya settled the bill, we started for home.

I had noticed that he hated it whenever I referred that place to his home and not our home.

It was cute but I loved to rile him up so I did.

" How far from your house now?" I asked, taking the most innocent tone possible.

He applied breaks and due to the force, I fell to the other side and grabbed his forearm for support.

" What are you doing!?" I asked, shocked.

" Swara..do you think I'm a fool to not notice how you purposely say 'my house' to irritate me?" He asked, himself irritated.

" No....I had no idea." I said, innocently pouted.

He glared at me while I continued to give the most innocent look I had.

" Such a drama queen." He remarked.

" Let's go now. I'm sleepy." I said, faking a yawn.

He gave no reaction.

" Let's go naa..!" I exclaimed.

" For that, you'll have to let go of my hand." He said, smirking.

" What?" I looked on, confused.

He then kept his hand on mine which was on his forearm.

" Ohh..I'm sorry." I said and took the hand away.

" I didn't mind." He replied and started driving.

In the next 15 minutes, we were home  and Aditya was carrying all the shopping bags. I did not even offer my help. I hated carrying things.

We walked into the living room and saw mom and dad sitting there. I almost had a mini heart attack.

" Mom, dad?" Aditya acknowledged, equally shocked.

" Yes Adi, home is under renovation so we decided to live here for a month." Mom said.

" Great!" He said and I nodded.

" Shopping?" Dad asked, looking at all the bags.

" Yes dad, college starts from tomorrow so had to get a few things." I replied to which they both nodded.

" We'll just keep these bags up and come back." Aditya addressed them and started walking upstairs asking me to come with him.

Now what?

" What happened?" I asked as we got to my room.

" For a month, you need to shift to my room till the time Mom and dad are here please Swara." He almost pleaded.

It was so comical.

" What if I say no?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

" What do you want?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

" Nothing." I said, faking innocence.

" What Swara?" He asked, bored.

" Let me go to college on my own." I tried a chance.

" No Swara, it's for your own good." He said, sighing.

" Fine....I'm just troubling you. I'll shift." I agreed.

" But shifting will take a lot of time!" I exclaimed.

" Don't worry about that. We will do it once they sleep in their room." He replied and I nodded and we walked downstairs.

" Mom dad, shall I serve dinner?" I asked them. The housekeeper had already made it.

" No Swara. We already are done. It's late. Let's go to bed. You have college from tomorrow." She instructed and I nodded.

Wishing goodnight, I went upstairs with Aditya and mom-dad went to the room which was near the hall.

Damn! Now staying with him in the same room, he will not let me watch Netflix in the night and make me sleep. What the hell!!

" Of course not. You need to sleep Swara." He said.

Shit....did I say that loud?

" Yes you did." He stated, chuckling.

" Now let's go and get your things." He said and I nodded.

I filled all my clothes in the suitcase and he took my shoes.

" Dammit Swara....you have hundreds of pairs of shoes and what not!" He exclaimed.

" So what!? I love each and every pair. Don't you dare say anything about my shoes!" I exclaimed.

" Okay..okay." He surrendered while lifting his hands up in defence.

" Mr. Kapoor, you have asked me to shift to your room but have you made enough space for my things there?" I asked him.

" Yes Mrs Kapoor. You have half of my walk in closet to yourself." He replied and I chocked on the water I was drinking.

" What happened?" He said, rubbing my back slightly.

What happened! He called me THAT.

Seems like calling him by his surname backfired because I shared that with him. Swara Agnihotri Kapoor.

Damn!

Swara's look-
