Chapter - 2 : His Behaviour

Ruhana experiences a scary dream, such that she wakes up with a jerk. Vineet comforts her and makes her sleep again. He gets worried because of her dreams, though he can't do anything about it. Next morning, Vineet wakes up and finds Ruhana sleeping. The fear of last night is long gone. He bends to kiss her on the head, but as soon as he kisses her, she wakes up with a whine. She stares at him and scolds him that he's playing with her because of her dream. He tries to comfort her and asks her to take a shower. She agrees but even in the shower, she feels those pricks and the red eyes scare her for another time. She walks out of the washroom after getting dressed. Vineet passes her the coffee mug while she asks him to do something about her dreams. He pulls her in his embrace and begins to pat her back to soothe her. But, in an instance, Ruhana jumps apart,leaving Vineet confused.

"What happened? " He asks,he's clueless about her behavior.

"I don't know. I felt uncomfortable suddenly. Those scary feelings again!" Ruhana looks at Vineet scaredly.

"It's nothing,Ruhana. You're worried for no reason. I think you should rest for a day or two. " Vineet says in concern.

"These dreams! They are making me restless. I don't know why it is happening." Ruhana sighs worriedly.

Vineet holds her by her shoulders. He understands her agony but he can't do anything other than consoling her. He makes her look at himself. These dreams are scary enough to disturb anyone. He cups her face.

" Look, you should get some rest. I know dreams are scary, but you have to come out of it, Ruhana. Please rest for a day." he says softly.

"You also stay with me. The dreams will haunt me more, if I will stay alone." Ruhana says.

"We have a meeting, remember?" Vineet says reminding her about the meeting they were talking about.

"Postpone it. Or we can go for the meeting and return home early." She looks at him hopefully.

" Okay! But you'll be resting after that." Vineet says.

She agrees to him and as he pulls his hand after patting her cheek, Ruhana notices a mark on his wrist. It's a black and red mark, probably a symbol or a tattoo. She looks at him.

"What is this? What did you do to your hand?" She asks out of concern.

"Nothing to worry about, Ruu!" he says, calling her by her nickname.

"Nothing to worry!! What is this mark about?" She asks.

"I tried a tattoo. Don't worry, this will get dissolved." he says, putting up his point.

"But how? The skin has turned black. What did you actually do to your skin?" She asks, closely examining the mark.

He pulls his hand back, surprising Ruhana. She looks at him baffled at his act . He has never done so, and today he pulled his hand away.

"Did it hurt? Sorry Vineet. I didn't mean to hurt you. " Ruhana apologizes thinking that her touch pained him on the mark.

"No! It is nothing , Ruhana. Stop worrying about it. " He responds to her a little coldly.

"Vineet, is anything wrong?" Ruhana asks him, as she feels strangeness in his behaviour.

Vineet looks at Ruhana and nods in disagreement but it does not satisfy Ruhana's quench of questions. She feels that Vineet is hiding something from her. She looks at him, he is moving out of the room. She is astonished to find him moving towards the other room, which they keep locked. To be more precise, Ruhana isn't allowed to go in that room. Vineet has told her that it is his room where he loves to work. Since, this is Vineet's home, she can't question him further. He has agreed to let her stay with him, and that's enough.

"Where are you going?" she asks him.

"Don't ask too many questions, Ruhana. Just go and get ready." He replies in an irked tone.

Ruhana is astonished. He has never behaved in such a way with her. Today, it happened when she asked about his scar. Was it wrong on her part?

Well, she was concerned about the man she loves. She wanted to know what was going on in his mind. It is for another time, he denied telling her anything. She feels bad because of his attitude, but she lets it go. She loves him and so, she has to accept him with all his flaws, even, he should do the same.

She sighs deeply, and changes into a formal top and trousers. She shouldn't lead anything else ruin her mood, for her scary dreams have already done so. As she moves out, her phone rings and the information given by the caller leaves her shocked.
