Raj's POV

She was kind of uncomfortable and I didn't know what to say to make her comfortable, but we would have to be comfortable if we have to share the room.

I just cleared my throat and said, " I understand that you are not happy with this marriage, but now we are married and can't get out of it. We got married for our families and they would get hurt if we are unhappy. So try to behave normally for their sake. You can live your life the way you want it and I will do the same. I will not interfere in yours and I expect the same from you... It has been a very long and tiring day, you must be very tired so please be comfortable and take a rest."

" Raj..."  She said but I didn't want to talk to her right now.

" Myra, please not right now, it has been a very long, tiring, and stressful day. Can we please talk later, I have a migraine. "  I said.

" Yeah, sure... Please take some medicine. "  She said with concern.

Concern??

I must say she is a good actress. She looked shy earlier now concerned.  Do I have to spend my whole life with this fake woman?

There was no option so I shook my head and went to the washroom and changed into my night suit.

When I came out she was removing her jewelry. I settled myself on the couch. She removed all of them and kept them on the dressing table.

Her luggage was lying near her wardrobe, she opened one of them and took out a towel and a silk night suit and went to change into them. I could not sit on the bed when it was decorated like this so decided to sleep on the couch, I closed my eyes to avoid talking to her any further.

I didn't want to argue about who will sleep on the bed. She was a girl and was a guest... I mean new here so she must sleep in the bed.

She came back to the room and saw me sleeping on the couch. She called my name softly but I did not react. She tried again in a bit louder voice but I did not even stir as I could not dare to sleep in the same bed with her.

She removed all the petals from the bed and kept them on the side table. However angry I was, I  could not help watching her with my eyes just slightly open. The room was getting chilled so she took one of the blankets and covered me with it.

Really?? Is she trying to impress me??

Then she took one of the pillows and by picking my head very carefully she inserted it under my head as if trying not to wake me up.

What surprised me the most was that she even pressed my head a bit.

Though I kept pretending to be in a deep slumber, I loved the feel of her long delicate fingers touching my head.

What was wrong with me, why was I enjoying something she did??

I must sleep... It must be because of the fact that I was very tired. I must sleep before I go insane.

She kept sitting there on the bed and slept in that position itself. After about an hour, I got up from the couch and made her lie in the bed properly. But she turned and caught my hand and placed it under her head.

My hand was between her neck and shoulder now and her hair was caressing my arm. I was getting weird feelings as her soft skin was against my hand and her warm breath on my arm was melting my resistance. I was tempted to get into the bed and hold her properly.

But I could not do so, in the end, I sat down near her and kept looking at her.

She was looking beautiful... But I controlled myself and reminded myself of her betrayal and that I should not be affected by her charm now. She took me to be an absolute fool and cheated Manik as well as me. Now that Manik doesn't want her, she wants me.

I pulled my hand out and went to sleep on the couch.

Though I could not and kept pacing the room. I was dead tired but was very uneasy, so went to my couch and closed my eyes.

*********

It was morning when I opened my eyes. I looked around and saw that Myra was still asleep and looked very comfortable.

How convenient!! She was sleeping so comfortably after ruining my peace of mind.

I was not comfortable on that damn couch as it was too small for me to sleep on it, so my body was aching.

Why did you decide to sleep on the couch?? An inner voice asked.

How could I share a bed with her?

Why not? She is your wife now.

Wife? Ha ha... My wife, who was supposed to get married to my friend just a few hours ago. How can I share the bed with her??

Have you never thought of sharing the bed with her? The voice asked.

Maybe I did, but I was thinking of getting married to her at that time.

So?? You are married to her now.

But she wanted to get married to Manik. I feel he is still here in the room.

Nonsense!! It's your room, your bed, your wife. You have a right to sleep on the bed with her. The voice said.

Yes, It is my bedroom and I had the right to sleep on my bed. But  I can't share it with her.

As you wish... Then suffer from a backache.

Ughhh!

Neither my body nor my mind was at rest. I needed to calm down, so I decided to go jogging.  But once I came downstairs, I dropped the idea as I was having backache.

I didn't want to spend time with any of my family members as they would have talked about the wedding and would have teased me and could not even go to my room as she was sleeping on my bed.

Shit!! I could not go to my room. I thought of going for a long drive but my wallet and keys to my car were in the bedroom.

So what?? That is my room, I don't need her permission to go there.

Myra's POV

It is a bright morning, I got up from bed and saw that Raj was not there in the room so I went to the balcony. The birds were chirping and the slow breeze caressed my skin. The fragrance of the flowers in the garden was coming my way. The whole thing elated my mood.

Last night, I was quite apprehensive about my wedding night, assuming that Raj might be annoyed with me as he didn't say anything to me for the entire ceremony.

  But he talked in a cool manner,   Though he was not as friendly as he used to be, at least he was not angry. At least he talked to me, but he didn't even share the bed with me.

I went into the room again and did all my daily routine and took out a suit from my bag and went to take a bath. I came out of the bathroom and went directly towards the dressing table.

The suit had fasteners at the back and I was trying to fasten them but could not do them.

My hair was still dripping and was making my back wet, which made it even more difficult to fasten them.  I needed to dry my hair and my back first.

I took my towel and was about to dry them when I suddenly felt some movement behind me which startled me.

I turned all of a sudden and my hair swung into the air and water droplets from them landed on... Raj's face.

Oh my God !! He was already annoyed with me, now he is going to be angry. I apologized, but he just kept looking at me and didn't say anything.

Though it was a few seconds it felt like it was at least 10 minutes, when he said, " Are you done, I want to use the washroom now? "  I just nodded.

I was embarrassed that the water droplets from my hair fell on his face. I wanted to give a towel to him to wipe them, but I didn't know how he would react. So I kept on standing there. He was looking at me in a very weird way. I was not sure what he was thinking.

He wiped his face and was going away when I stopped him.

" Err... Raj, can you please help me? " I asked hesitantly.

" In what?? " He asked.

I turned my back toward him and said, " Can you please fasten these fasteners??  "

I looked at him through the mirror and he was looking at my back as If I had asked him to defuse a live bomb.  He kept staring at my back.
