Swara's POV-

The next day, after coming back from college, I came to my room and found Bubbles sleeping on the bed and Aditya was working. I got late from college because of extra classes and was home by 8:30. No no....college was over by six but all of us decided to hang out a bit because no one really wanted to go home.

Swara's look-

" Welcome back. Quite an adventure it was today......wasn't it? First you decided to ditch the driver and go to college on your own, then you didn't inform anyone that you'll be coming late and on the top of it all, you take no one's calls." Aditya remarked, looking at me.

Anger, clearly evident in his eyes.

Shit.

Yes I did go to college alone, taking a cab but I wanted to be like a free bird today, only now I realize that it was stupid of me to do that. But he can't falsely accuse me of not taking calls, no one called!!

" Please! You didn't call me. Stop falsely accusing me of things I didn't do!" I exclaimed.

" Really Swara? Then why don't you have a look at your phone?" He asked, dangerously calm.

I took my phone out of the bag. There were 20 missed called from Aditya, 26 from papa, 14 from mumma, 10 from dad and 9 from mom. My phone was on do not disturb mode.

" Now what do I do!" I whisper exclaimed to myself!

" How about explain yourself?" He asked, keeping his laptop aside and stood up.

It wasn't for him to hear!!

" I was.......haan! Bored. Yes, I was bored that's why I did all of this." I said, unable to come up with anything logical as to why I pulled this stunt.

" Amazing on the spot answers Swara. I am proud of you. Keep it up!" He said, now raising his voice.

" Relax Aditya, I am not a kid. I can look after myself." I replied back too.

Why is he trying to control me!? My wish, I don't have to ask him to go anywhere. Period.

" Your actions clearly state otherwise Swara. What you did today was clearly immature and a childish act." He said.

" I don't have to ask you about going anywhere. It's my wish. I'll go wherever I want to. You are not my mumma or papa." I said, sternly.

" I know I am neither but you'll have to answer both of them as to why you were not picking anyone's calls. And when did I ever say about seeking permission? All I expect from you is to inform me about your whereabouts if it's getting late and let the driver accompany you to wherever you have to go." He said, holding my right forearm.

" Why did you tell mumma, papa about this! I am so dead!" I exclaimed, trying to break free of his clutch.

" I didn't. Mom was getting worried about you so she called maa to ask if you were at home." He replied.

" I am done for." I said, sighing.

" You should have thought about this before pulling this stunt off. Didn't you imagine that the consequences could be grave?" He questioned me.

" I didn't do it intentionally. It just happened. I wanted to be an idiot today." I said, rolling my eyes.

" How great of you to accept this on your own." He remarked sarcastically.

" Stop being sarcastic......I am sorry. But where are mom and dad?" I asked him.

" After they got to know that you were with your friends, they went to a housewarming party." He replied and I nodded.

" Wait....how did they know that I was with my friends?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

" Because maa called Aryan when you didn't pick up the calls. He told her and she told us." He said.

" He is a son of a....." I was about to complete the sentence but Aditya put his palm on my mouth, preventing me from speaking.

" Shhh.....why the cursing?" He asked, pulling me closer by my waist.

My eyes widened. What on earth is this person doing and why does his touch affect me so weirdly! It just brings my senses so much alive but at the same time....so hazy and blur!

I continued to look at him, waiting for him to take his hand off and let me go but I am so sure that if he leaves me, I'll just probably fall because I felt so week in my knees.

He did eventually take his hand off my mouth.

And then I remembered that traitor, Aryan!

" Because he did not tell me. Such a liar. I am taking the best friend title away from him!" I exclaimed.

" Drama queen." He said and left me, just proving my point right.

I was so week in my knees that I literally fell forwards and by mistake, pecked his cheek in disbalance and he held me by my arms again to stable me.

" Are you okay?" He asked, looking concerned.

" I am so sorry!" I exclaimed, wide eyed.

He just gave me a smirk.

" Sorry for?" He asked.

His intensions were very clear. He just wanted to embarrass me.

" Nothing. Now let me go and talk to mumma, papa, mom and dad." He said, trying to free myself again but he had a tight yet gentle grip on my arm.

" But just tell me what were you saying sorry for?" He asked again, playing dumb.

" On falling for you." I stammered.

His closeness feels so tingly!

" Falling for me?" He asked, amused as he had an eyebrow raised.

" WHAT! No, I said for falling on you.!" I clarified.

" No you didn't say that. You said the opposite." He said.

" No I didn't. Go to an ENT to get your ears checked Mister." I replied, finally breaking free of his hold.

I then took my phone and called the parents who gave me nice lectures. All of them! God, two of the lecture machines were enough and now I have two more....no, no, no....actually three more. One in the form of this Aditya!

" Now come and have dinner." Aditya said.

" Okayyy!" I said and walked to the dining area with him.

" Bubbles ate?" I asked him.

" He did." He replied and I nodded.

We ate dinner in silence and then soon I feel in deep sleep with Aditya and Bubbles by my side.

The next morning as I woke up, we decided to ditch college as there was only on lecture to be held. Aditya and dad had left for the office and mom was in her NGO. I was playing with Bubbles when the door bell rang.

I opened the door to find the shock of my life. Kritika didi was standing in front of me.

" Didi." I said.

" Don't call me didi Swara. You married the person I love and now you're acting like nothing has happened!" She exclaimed.

" But didi, I had to do it for everyone. After you left, both the family's reputation was at stake and then I just did it." I told her honestly.

" You could have said no Swara....I love Aditya. I love him!" She exclaimed.

" Didi.....trust me, I had no choice. I had no intention to hurt you. I honestly did it for our family." I tried to convince her.

" How dare you come to my house and talk to my wife like that?" A voice from behind Kritika didi said, Aditya's voice.

Oh My God!

" Oh,...Adi! You are here." Didi remarked.

He walked inside the house and stood next to me.

" Swara....I honestly didn't expect this from you. Why the fuck are you apologizing to her?" He questioned, looking at me.

" Because didi thinks that..." I tried to speak but he shut he down.

" No one cares what she thinks anymore Swara. You don't have to justify anything to her." He said.

" But Adi....." Before didi could speak anything, Aditya interrupted her too.

What is it with him today? Not letting anyone speak!

" You don't get to interrupt when I am talking to my wife." He said so rudely that I shivered.

" What wife! You love me Adi....she's my younger sister. Stop acting like you actually care about her." She said with so much venom in her voice.

" Shut up Kritika......just shut up! I don't have to tell you how much I care about her and I want you out of my premises right now or I'm filing a case of trespassing against you." He shouted again.

" Aditya, please relax and call her inside. Both of you talk and sort your issues out because both of you love each other." I said, looking away.

" Swara....how many times do I have to tell you that I don't love your sister. The only thing that I feel for her is hatred. Hatred." He said, making me look at him.

" You do love her Aditya....you remember how you reacted that day when I changed your room?" I asked him, tears forming in my eyes.

Swara....why do you have to cry each and every time!!

" Swara....and I did apologize for it, didn't I?" He questioned.

" That doesn't change the fact that you don't love her. Please talk to her and sort your mess out. You both don't have to suffer just because you're married to me." I somehow managed to say all of it and ran off to my room, leaving them to talk.

" Swara...." I heard Aditya call for me but I ignored. I can't face him.

After locking myself up, I must have cried myself for hours and then finally made a decision to leave Aditya's life for didi. I packed everything and walked out. It was seven in the evening when I saw Aditya still in his suit from earlier, sitting in the living room with Bubbles........doing nothing.

" Finally you're out. Now we need to talk." He said, looking at me.

" I know what you want to say....but you don't have to. I know that Kritika didi and you want to get married and I am very happy for both of you. I'll get the divorce papers remade and then sent them to you." I said, not looking at him.

I heard him sigh.

" I am seriously dealing with a teenage girl." I heard him mutter.

" That's offensive.:" I defended myself.

" It's the truth. You don't listen, you reach to some nonsense conclusions without talking to anyone, you assume whatever you want to, you don't want to understand other's point of view and you feel that only you are right and the whole world is wrong." He accused.

" That's not true." I denied.

" Then why don't you want to understand that I do not love your sister. I don't. I don't want anything to do with her. I absolutely don't want to marry her." He said, shaking me by my shoulders.

" But..." I tried to talk but he didn't let me, pinning me to the wall.

" No Swara. It's my turn to talk now and you will listen. I do not love your sister and will never do. I used to and there is a difference. I didn't fall in love with that person your sister turned out to be. I was in love with a pretense which was completely fake and fabricated. I know that it's your sister we are talking about but I don't care. She is not a good person and I really don't have the heart to lose you just because you have this strange misconception of me being in love with your sister. I know that we don't love each other but as I said, I never ruled that possibility out. Let's let thing take their normal path and see how they end up. I want us to be good friends right now." He said.

" But didi?" I asked.

" What about her? It was her choice to leave that wedding. No one forced her to leave and no one called her back now. She does not care about anyone else but her and as you wanted me to do, I did talk with her. I told her to never come back here and leave all of our lives for good because know that maa and papa don't want to see her. What she did was wrong but now there is no way that things are going back to normal. That's it." He announced, leaving no space for argument.

" I really don't know what to do." I confessed.

" Just trust me." He said, looking into my eyes.

" I do." I replied, honestly.

" That's enough for now." He said, pecking my forehead and I wrapped my arms around his torso, forgetting all my worries.
