Chapter-21

“Vishal! The hell? Are you drunk?” Aarohi snapped at a drunk Vishal who sat in the chair infront her.

It was after few days of them becoming official to their friends, they came out to have dinner. Abhimanyu left the country again. And Vishal is behaving out of his character.

“Shhhhh. Don't shout now. So what if I did? Do you have to make everything so big?” he whisper shouted.

She frowned at him. She just asked whether he was drunk and he is acting like she is making a scene?

Without saying a word they ordered food and she ate quietly. Later she took his car keys and unlocked the car.

He quietly sat in the passenger seat and she drove to the apartment he have there and stopped it there. She unlocked the door and sat quietly and he didn't leave as she expected him to.

“Take me inside ” She frowned at that and locking the door, she helped him inside. She wondered why he need her help when he walked really well in the restaurant.

He unlocked the door and they both entered it, she went inside, it wasn't the first time she is here. She took the water bottle in the kitchen and was drinking water when she felt his arms snaking over her stomach. But she didn't feel the usual butterflies she does when he touches her. Instead, for the first time she noticed she is uneasy. She tried to remove his hands from her stomach first without offending him but a fear gripped her heart when the clutch on her stomach increased painfully tight.

“Vishal what the hell?!!! Leave me!”

But it was too late.

The next day Aarohi had hard time waking up. She looked at him sleeping peacefully and felt nauseous. Something changed last night. Something unsettling. She can feel herself.

She watched as he opened his eyes and flinched looking at her. She pushed off the covers and got ready in the bathroom after thoroughly washing her body. As if she is trying to remove every imprint of whatever happened last night.

As she got back from washroom he took the chance and left to freshen up.

After he got back he looked at her blankly looking at the wall.

“I don't want this to happen again.”

He sighed.

“I was drunk.”

A slap resounded the room and Vishal took deep breaths recovering from the slap he just received.

“If this happens again, I swear to god I will tear you into tiny and tiny pieces and feed you to the vultures and street dogs. Just because I love doesn't give you a FUCKING RIGHT over me. Get that in your fucking head. ”

Vishal never saw an angered Aarohi.

“I am sorry Rohi.” he said and saw her eyes go back to cold. She didn't glance at him again and took her bag and left the place.

He watched her leave and went behind the t.v in the room and saw his mobile there. He went inside the gallery and saw video and smiled. He touched his cheek where she just slapped.

He went to email and typed the name of a man who knew would need this. So what if he blocks him from one mail? He have many and will create many more. He sent the video to him .

There is a bloody satisfaction to watch Abhimanyu cry... Isn't it?

It was on 16th, Aarohi was asked to come to Hyderabad. For their trip to Tirupati.

Aarohi landed in Hyderabad a few minutes ago and is patiently waiting for her husband to pick up.

Since he didn't come even after two minutes Aarohi huffed in annoyance. She took her phone and called him and gasped when he cut it.

Just then she saw his vehicle and with a scoff she walked over to his car and he got out of the car and took her luggage immediately and kept them in the back side of the car.

All the while careful enough to leave some space in between them and to not to look at her. And for some unknown reason it irked her more than it should.

If anyone should behave like that in their relationship then it is only her. She had enough of his him and she should be the only one to show that out. Not him. She sat in the passenger seat and he took the driver seat.

Just then her mother called and she looked at him and then at the phone. A smile broke out on her face. It wa rather a mischievous one.

“Hello Amma. Cheppu (Say)”

“ Ekkada Unnavey? ( where are you?)” her mother asked.

“Amma, ippudey mi alludu garu vacharu, nen dhigina twenty minutes ki. Thelsa? (Mom, just now your son-in-law came, after my landing of 20 minutes, you know?)

“He is busy unlike you.”

Abhimanyu chuckled hearing that. He can obviously hear the conversation since they are sitting close and the car is kinda silent with only two of them. Saying she would talk to her later Aarohi cut the call and glared at Abhi who is chortling.

“If you don't stop that annoying laugh of yours-”

“What will you do? What can you do?”

“I will call your mother and tell her you are making fun of me.” she said with a smirk.

Damn! Woman knows very well to play the game!

Abhimanyu shut his mouth for rest of the journey and continued driving.

It was second time after their marriage she is coming here.

Her colleagues had teasing smile when she left to ask for leave and Jai wasn't even an exception. Man got his well share of torture from her ofcourse.

“So... Why were you crying that night?” Aarohi asked casually drinking water that he offered her.

“ I already told you-”

“That it's none of my business, but remember even I did the same for you back in the past, did you listen to me? You went on a rampage and-”

“ Do we have to bring that asshole in this conversation now?” Abhimanyu said annoyed and Aarohi giggled at his more than annoyed face.

“Come on, Vishal isn't that bad.” She said. She knew that her ex was worse, toxic, manipulative and an asshole.

Abhimanyu gave her a nasty look knowing she is doing this to annoy him and if he says a bad word about that guy she will go back to spitfire so he just let her continue her laugh, this laughing face is better than those grumpy pumpkin eyes.

“Why are you not fighting me!??” she asked. There is this light mood in between them and she is not liking it a bit. She wants to fight with him, claw his eyes out and pluck his hair. He want to bend her down and smack her back. Lift her up again and chock-

Well, that is... Ummm.. becoming a little kinky isn't it? Abhimanyu thought and slapped his head mentally. He sat calmly and she didn't like it. Not even a bit.

“Are you afraid you are going to lose?” She teased and he sighed again before looking at her and then back at the road.

“Stick to your words Aarohi, stop playing games with me. If you don't care then don't act like you do, if you don't want me around you then stop pulling me towards you, stick to your words, act according to them. I am not some toy! When you already know I have feelings for you, why do you do this deliberately?” he found himself asking.

“But, didn't you say you hate me?” she asked. That indeed was innocent question.

“ Just because I hate you, doesn't mean I don't love you.” he hated him for saying his feelings out loud, but he can't help. She needs to know what she is doing to him.

“Then it would mean I can never talk to you again.” she said as he parked his car in his apartment basement.

“Good for you.”
