Swara's POV-

The next day as I woke up, due to the lack of the pillow wall, my head was rested on Aditya's chest and I was clutching onto his shirt. As realization struck upon me, I immediately left his shirt and shifted to my side of the bed.

" Way to go Swara." I muttered to myself, sarcastically.

It was just five in the morning so I went back to sleep again.

" Swara.....wake up. You have college." I heard a voice.

" Yes mumma.....five minutes more please." I replied and dragged to duvet up till my face.

" You are late." The voice was at it again.

" Wonderful....then I'm skipping college today. Let me sleep!" I whined.

The voice stopped but in a minute or so, all the curtains were off and the fan was switched off too.

" Mumma....this is not...." I shouted, getting up to see Aditya ready for work again.

" What is your problem? Switch the lights off and let me sleep." I said, more like shouted.

" It's 9 Swara. You have college." He replied, sighing.

" I don't want to go." I replied.

" Stop being lazy and get up." He said and I did get up.

" I hate you." I said and walked inside the washroom, banging the door on his face.

" That's rude." I heard him say.

" What makes you think that I care?" I asked him back.

" So cranky in the morning." He muttered and then fell silent.

I took bath and got ready and then walked downstairs to have breakfast.

Swara's look-

" Good morning everyone." I said cheerfully.

" I wonder if it was that good of a morning for her a while back." Aditya muttered to himself.

Too bad for him, I heard.

" Don't start fighting now. Have breakfast. All of us are getting late, specially you Swara." Mom said.

" Relax mom....I'll end up missing just one lecture. Doesn't matter." I replied.

" Swara.....be serious. I don't want any interruptions with your studies. Understand." Dad said.

" Jesus Christ.....mom I am leaving for college right now. Bye everyone!" I picked an apple, kissed Bubbles and walked out.

Good Swara, both your parents and in laws are of the same sort!

Reaching college, no one decided to show up today except for Aryan.

" Where is your girlfriend and others?" I asked.

" She was too lazy to get up and others I have no idea about." He told me.

" Great! Let's go then." I said.

" S, I can feel this is going to be so boring. Let's just go in the canteen. We will attend next lecture onwards." Aryan literally just said what I felt like.

" I feel you. Let's bunk in canteen." I said and we walked.

After eating, we were just randomly talking.

" How is it going with your husband?" He asked.

" Kritika didi came home yesterday." I told him.

" What the hell? After all she did, she had the audacity to face you?" He questioned. I could see anger taking him over.

" Calm down Aryan....it's okay." I tried to calm him down and then told everything that had happened yesterday.

" S, are you like completely mad? Your husband is falling in love with you and you are hell bent on spoiling this for yourself! When he told you that he does not like Kritika then why do you want them together?" He asked, irritated.

" Don't shout on me!" I said, trying to change the topic.

" Answer my question S!" He caught me.

" Because whenever I see them together, it felt like I was between them but not anymore." I told him honestly.

" Good! Because now the only person coming in between is Kritika. I can see that you've started liking Aditya as well." He said, teasing me.

" Shut up you moron.....I don't like him but yes, I have started tolerating his presence." I lied.

" You want me to believe this bulls*it?" He asked me.

I nod my head.

" Such a stupid you are." He retorted back and I rolled my eyes.

" Thank you Aryan....for being here with me." I said, holding his hand.

" Always S....you're my best friend." He replied, smiling.

I then heard someone clear their throat. Looking back, I saw Aditya standing with my....bag!

" Ohh...hello Mr. Kapoor." Aryan said, looking at him and forwarded his hand for handshake.

" Hello Aryan. How have you been." He asked.

" Fine." He replied.

" Swara....you forgot your bag at home." He said, looking at me, amused and irritated both.

" Ohh....thank you....I guess." I said, taking the bag and raising an eyebrow.

" Why are you not in the class?" He asked.

" Because the first lecture was cancelled and none of our other friends have come to college today." Aryan lied for me.

Thank god he was here or else Aditya would have caught me lying.

" Okay.' He said, looking at me.

" Are you not getting late for work?" I asked him.

" No....do you keep forgetting that I am the boss?" He asked.

He sounded irritated over something.

I rolled my eyes at his cockiness.

" Fine....I am going for class. I'll see you at home." I replied, walking away. He also went out.

" That was Aditya Kapoor. Why was he here to meet you?" One of the girls in the canteen asked me and everyone was looking at me.

" Are you two a thing?" Another one asked.

" Or are you just simply sleeping around with him?" The third one asked.

" Oh my god! So you are that sort of girl?" A fourth one asked.

I froze to the ground because no one knew in the college that I was married to him. I was Swara Agnihotri here.

" Excuse me....I'd have mind my tongue if I were you miss." I heard Aditya's voice.

Why was he still here?

" Aditya...please no. I don't want you to speak for me." I said, walking up to him and held his sleeve.

" I am her legally wedded husband so get your facts cleared before hauling insults at her. The consequences maybe grave." He warned, without listening to me.

I could hear murmurs going around.

" Aditya....please go." I said, looking at him.

" Aryan....do you guys have any important lecture today?" Aditya asked him, ignoring me.

" No." He replied.

" Fine then. I'm taking her home today." He said and held my hand.

" Yes Mr. Kapoor. As it is we were planning to leave after the lecture." He said and then came to me.

" Relax S and just go with him. I am also going home. This day just sucks." He said, looking at me.

I nodded.

" Bye and please don't overthink." He said and then I started walking with Aditya towards the car and he went to his bike.

Aditya opened the passenger seat's door for me and I sat down.

" Are you ashamed to call me your husband?" He asked me as he started driving.

I didn't answer.

" Answer me dammit!" He raised his voice a little.

" Of course not! It's just that I didn't want unnecessary attention to myself." I told him the truth.

" Fair point." He said, sighing.

" You shouldn't have confronted them like that in the canteen. I could have done it myself." I countered.

" Yeah....I could see that clearly. You did not utter a word there." He remarked.

" I was about to but you jumped in." I told him the truth.

" What were you going to say?" He asked.

" That they had no business in whatever was going on between you and me." I replied.

" That would have just further created more problems for you." He said.

" I don't really care what they think." I told him, shrugging my shoulders.

" Good. But now that the cat is out of the bag, you will have attention which you didn't want." He said, sounding.....guilty?

" It's fine. Doesn't matter. Anyways, it'll be just for like a week and then everyone will forget. It's all okay." I said.

Now coming to think about it....I really didn't care. Let them know. Anyways, one day this was bound to happen and it happened today. No big deal.

He dropped me home and then went to work. I then took Bubbles with me to the park and we played fetch for sometime.

" Bubbles, I am so bored! Do you want to go and meet naani and naanu?" I asked him and he woofed.

Then I asked driver kaka to drop me at my home and we were there by lunch time. I had informed about my whereabouts to mom and Aditya, messaging them.

" Look who is here!" I said, entering home.

" Shona....! What a wonderful surprise today." Mumma said and I hugged her.

" Missed you so much mumma!" I said.

" Missed you too my babu." She replied.

" Accha....where is dadu?" I asked her.

" In his room. Just had his lunch and went in." She told me and I walked to dadu's room to meet him.

" My princess is here!" He said as he looked at me.

" Yes my handsome king!" I went and hugged him.

We talked for a while till he fell asleep and then I went outside to the dining room where mumma had served lunch for both of us.

" Wonderful mumma! I was so hungry." I said.

" Come and eat Shona. I've also fed your Bubbles. Must say he is getting naughty day by day." She eyed him, lovingly.

We sat down to eat and talked so much. It was after so long!

" Are you happy Shona?" She asked.

" I am mumma." I told her honestly.

I made sure not to mention about Kritika didi. It will only make her more upset.

Spending so much time with mumma was amazing and time flew. It was seven in the evening before I knew and I was in no mood to go back. I picked my phone up to text Aditya that I'll come back tomorrow but the door bell rang and there he stood, with his blazer lying on his arm, the top two buttons undone and sleeves rolled up till elbows, looking no less than a goddamn Greek god.

" How does he manage to look so good even after the whole day? I end up looking like a tired duck!" I muttered to myself.

" Come in beta......Shona didn't tell me that you were coming." Mumma told Aditya.

" She didn't know maa because she never picks my call." He accused.

" What even!? You didn't call." I said, confidently.

" Check." He challenged.

There were three missed calls. My phone was on silent mode.

" Not my fault. The phone was on silent mode." I said sheepishly.

" Of course it's his fault that your phone was on silent mode." Mumma taunted me and I rolled my eyes.

" Now that you're here, let me tell you that I will come back tomorrow. I'm staying for the night." I told him.

Before he could respond, the doorbell rang again.

I opened to see papa.

" Princess!" He exclaimed and I hugged him.

" How much work papa? It this the time to come back?" I mock scolded him.

" Ohh Aditya is here too." He said and Aditya went to hug him.

" Yeah....now my family likes you more than me. Amazing!" I complained.

" Exactly! Just the way mom and dad love you more than they love me. Mom ordered me to bring you back for today because she was missing you so much. She also said that you can live here next week once they go back to the other house." Aditya told me.

" Fine Aditya....take her back but not before both of you have dinner." Mumma said.

" Of course maa....wouldn't have left anyways before eating." He replied, making himself comfortable. Papa and dadu sat with him and they got busy in talking. I went to the kitchen to help mumma.

Soon the dinner was served and we all ate. It was getting late so we took our leave and Aditya promised mumma that I will come and live with them next week! Yayy!

" Why is your phone always on silent?" Aditya asked me while driving.

" I don't know." I replied.

" That's not a legitimate answer to the question." He remarked.

" What makes you think that I am bound to answer your question?" I asked him.

" You can never answer any question straight, Can you?" He questioned again.

" I don't know. You tell me." Now I was just trying to irritate him.

" But didn't I was the one who asked you first?" He said.

" Where is it written that the one who asks a question first is obliged to receive the answer first?" I asked.

" That's in the basic rules of communication." He replied.

" I don't follow rules. Besides, they are meant to be broken. That's why are called rules." I said what I believed in.

" No Swara.....rules are made so that they are followed." He countered, sighing.

" Maybe for you.....definitely not for me." I said.

This stupid banter continued till we were home and somehow, I was enjoying spending time with him.

Dangerously, I was enjoying more that I should. Does this call for trouble?

Maybe......but I's take that trouble willingly!
