Aditi's point of view

It's morning,

It's difficult to say if it's good or bad. Maybe it's bad because when I wake up in the morning, I didn't find Dhruv beside me. I have tried his phone but he forget it here, in the house so I don't have anything to contact him.

I could not make breakfast and we don't have grocery. Dhruv must be hungry by the time he came back. I don't have anything to do so I took my online classes and studied after showering. But now I am here standing in the same window which faced my old room and the main gate of my so called parents house.

Every time tears brim to my eyes when they fall on my old house. Many memories attached to it. I born in this house, grown there, find my first love there but some bitter memories are also attached to this house. The scene come back in front of my eyes again when Akhil bhiya throw me outside in-front of whole neighbourhood and disowned me and again it wet my eyelashes with tears.

Sometimes, I thought what will happen to me if Dhruv would not come back to my life and gave me the hope. I may die long ago. There would be no Aditi.

Suddenly the door open if my old house and a figure came out from the house. I look closely and it was my so called mother who gave a birth to me and behind her was my father. I looked to my right and saw a truck was parked there and my so called brother Atul was giving instructions to the labours to unload things.

Yesterday the house was closed then how, suddenly my old family showed to this place and why they unloading things like they are shifting here. Tears welled up in my eyes seeing my so called mother who always loathe me because I was a girl. I cursed to my fate that I have born in this family.

"Aditi... breakfast." I wiped my tears and a smile came to my lips when I heard Dhruv's voice from downstairs.

"Where did you leave early in the morning?" I asked while getting down from the downstairs while he was unpacking our breakfast from the bags.

"Walk up early. So thought to have a walk. I bring breakfast for both of us on my way back home." He said while licking his thumb and set on the couch. He gestured me with his eyes to sit beside him. I smiled and sit beside him.

"You forget you phone here?" I asked and he smiled.

"Why..? Were you missing me?" He out his right hand behind me on the couch and smirk looking at me.

My cheeks turn red. Now days he do flirts with me a lot and makes my cheeks red.

"Just wanted to know if my husband run away after getting bore of me." I shrugged my shoulders.

He chuckled softly and shake his head, "Aditi Dhruv Malhotra you are stuck with me."

I halt on what I was doing and a smile came onto my lips after hearing the way he say my name. I hide my stupid smile and gave him his plate of breakfast.

"Aditi..."

"Hmmm..." I hummed while having my food.

"We have to leave today. I have important work there. I can't ignore it." He said with guilt.

"When is the flight?" I asked without looking at him. I also don't want to leave here where my so called family is living as our neighbours.

"10.00 P.m. I hope you don't mind." He put his hand on mine. His voice was still laced with guilt.

I looked at him and smiles, "Dhruv, it's completely fine. Anyways I need to study for my exam and I don't bring my books with me."

"You sure..." He asked and I nodded my head a with smile.

****

"Aditi come fast we are going to be late." Dhruv shouted from downstairs while I was filling my manng with sindoor.

"Just two minutes..." I took a quick glance of me in the mirror and ran to downstairs as my husband was being impatient.

I got the call from Divya on last moment and She and Nikita bhbahi bring me in a long congratulations that I totally forgot Dhruv and I are going outside for our lunch.

I was wearing a simple suite and leggings while Dhruv was looking handsome in dark blue t-shirt and jeans and damn he is looking so handsome. His biceps were bulging out from the sleeves and chest was looking brought. His white sneakers were enhancing his beauty. I was just got stuck with the beauty of my husband.

"If you are done checking me out then shall we go?"

I came out from my trance and found my husband smirking at me. I blinked many times and looked the other side to hide my blush. He caught me ogling him.

"Yeah..." I gave an awkward smile but still can feel the hotness of my cheeks. They are still red.

Dhruv chuckled softly and walked to me. He bring his right hand around my waist and gasped loudly when he pulls me towards him. I out my both hands on his chest and looked direct into his eyes.

"Am I looking handsome?" He asked in a whisper. My cheeks turn red and lower down my eyes. I smiled and nodded my head as yes, slowly.

"Then don't feel shy ogling over your husband. Take a picture next time."

I bit my lips to hide my smile. He is full of himself. I was still looking down while he was still looking at me . We both have stupid smile on our faces.

He slowly lifted my chin and make me look at him.

"You have most beautiful lips. I just wanted to bit them whole day." He whispered and leaned down while closing his eyes.

"We are going to be late." I also closed my eyes.

"Forget about it. We have batter things to do." He whispered and slowly touched his lips with mine, taking my lower lip between his but before he could deep the kiss his phone started ringing.

We broke the kiss and I was panting like we have the passionate kiss or I run the marathon. I looked down and put my head on Dhruv's chest and he also keep his one hand around me on the back. My hormones always do summersault just a mere touch of Dhruv.

If his phone didn't ring, by the time we both might on that couch of that living room and Dhruv was exploring my mouth by his tongue.

"Yeah...."
..

..

..

..

"Leave it there."

..

..

..

He cut the call after changing few words and by the time I also composed myself.

"You okay...?" He asked softly and I just nodded my head looking down and tuck loose strand behind my ear.

"Let's go..." He hold my hand and 2e both walked out hand in hand. When we reached outside, I saw a bike was parked outside the main gate and wide smile came onto my face.

"When did you arrange this?" I asked while looking at the bike.

"I have my ways. Now come." He put his sunglasses and sit on the bike. But damn don't ask me how he was looking because I don't have words. I was just keep looking at him without blinking.

It should be illegal to look such handsome.

"Don't look at me or I have to change my plans." He smirks.

Again he caught me red handed to ogling him but what should I do today he just plan to kill me with his actions. I get myself together and sit behind him on the bike but I didn't hold him.

He hold my both hands and bring them around his stomach.

"Get used to it." He said while looking at me through his right shoulder. I chuckled softly and put my left hand on his stomach right around his shoulder, locked my hands on his chest.

"Bater...?" I asked.

"Much bater..."

Wr both laughed but suddenly my eyes fell on my so called parents who were standing outside their house and looking both of us. I looked down and was about to remove my hands from Dhruv in guilt but then why should I feel guilt. I was doing nothing wrong. Dhruv and I, both of us are legally married and have every right to be together. It was them who abandoned me, I was die for them years ago. I was nothing to them. They never think me as their daughter and now they also die for me. My father glares at me daring me to remove my hands from Dhruv and my mother she has the same reaction as my father.

I tightened my hold around Dhruv and put my chin on his right shoulder while directly looking at them. I want to show them, the girl they used to loath have her own family and there is someone who cares for me. He doesn't think me worthless.

My father went inside while murmuring something while my mother stood there to watch me and Dhruv. Dhruv start the bike and we both drive off. While we crossed my house I looked at my mother without any emotion but I know how I was feeling from inside.

They don't matters to me now. I turn my face again to Dhruv, closed my eyes and hid my face in the crook of his neck, feeling the cold breeze and the warmth of his body.

*****

I got shock when finally Dhruv stops the bike. Here in front of me was the building of our school where we used to study together and I used to try to get his glimpse in the basketball playground. This is the only place where he didn't have any window and I can see him.

I looked at Dhruv and he was smiling looking at me.

"Why are you bring me here?" I asked.

"To freshen up some old memories." He shrugged his both shoulders. He hold my hand and we walked inside the school. I was hesitate to go inside as the whole city knows about my past but they don't know the story behind it, only I was the one what I was gone through. I don't want someone bring my past in-front of Dhruv.

I can just hope for that.

First we greeted by the Principal of the school who welcomed us open heartedly. He was happy that an IAS officer was from his school. After that he gave us permission to visit the school alone.

He bring me to the basketball playground where some boys were practicing. Dhruv and I both lost in our school days, having picture of us roaming in the same corridors and playground years ago.

"You know, I was the best player in my team. I have this thrust to be best in everything. I used to pore my all anger in playground and my studies. They kept me sane." He said while looking the boys who were practicing the basketball and I was smiling living those moments again with him.

"Every girl's eyes were on you when you played in the ground." I said looking at him while smiling.

Suddenly my eyes fell on one girl who was sitting on the bench at the corner and looking at one particular boy who playing the basketball. She reminds me. I also used to looked at Dhruv like this from afar.

"But I know about one girl who used to come to the playground, forgetting about her lunch and used to admire me from afar."

I was taken back about his confession and looked at him but he was already looking at me.

"What..? Do you really think that I never notice how you came to here just for me to get one glimpse of mine." He said while directly looking into my eyes.

My cheeks are red but I was completely list in him. Not just me but he was also lost and looking at me without blinking.

"How do you know about this?" I asked.

"I just know...."

I saw adoration and some other feelings in his eyes which I always failed to read. The spell was break by the shout of the boys who just basket to the against team. We both blinked and looked the other side to compose ourselves. After that Dhruv and I walked from there but this time we were not holding hands. There was a silence between us and we both our lost in our thoughts.

We both walked in a corridor and my eyes fell on his portrait which was hanging on the wall with a message.
We both walked to it and looked at it.

"You are pretty famous." I said looking at his picture with adoration.

"Yeah...but the girl should be my fan, doesn't even notice me." He muttered something under his breath but I couldn't hear him clearly.

"Did you say something?" I asked.

"Me...? Neah..." I shake his head but I know he said something.

****

I packed the bags and Dhruv went outside for some work. He asked me to be ready as we leave after after lunch for the Airport but I don't understand what he has work.

I went downstairs to drink water when I heard some voices of ladies and men arguing with Dhruv.

I went outside and saw Dhruv was trying calm those ladies but also I can see the fury in his eyes. I went closer to know the matter and so my so called mother was standing outside with some neighbours ladies.

"You both can't love in this place. You have to leave or we will call the police." My so called mother said along a lady who matching her tune.

"Call the police. Do you know their number or should I call them." Dhruv mock my mother.

"What happened..?" I asked Dhruv. His eyes turn sift when they fell to me.

"Nothing...you go inside. I'll handle them." He tries to send me inside.

"This girl can't live in this colony. Only respected people live here." Tears welled up in my eyes but I won't let them fall.

I know this is going to happen. Everyone's mind was filled with falls story.

"She is right. This characterless girl can't live here. First she ran away with her boyfriend and then blamed him that he did wrong with her. What a shameless girl."

"You.....How dare you to speak shit about my wife."

"Dhruv...." I gasped when Dhruv took a step towards a man with greeted teeth and tight fist. I hold him with his shoulder to stop him.

"Don't worry. We are leaving this place tonight and won't come back." I said to all of them while holding Dhruv on a place.

"No Aditi..We have sentiments attached to this place. I meet you here first time. We will definitely come back." He glared at me to make such statement.

"We will discuss it later. First come inside." I hold his hand and drag him to inside. Dhruv jerked away his hand from me and glared at me.

"Why did you not let me deal with them?" He shouted on me but I choose to stay quiet as I don't want to fight with him.

My quiescent irritates him more. He took a long strides towards me and I gasped when his entangled his fingers in my hair, making my face tilted up. My vision get blurred with tears in my eyes.

"You are Aditi Dhruv Malhotra, my wife and I will pull out their tongues from their throat who will speak shit about you. You have to be strong enough because you are my wife." He speak every word in a dangerously calm tone where his teeth was greeted and eyes were fill with fury.

Tears fall down from my eyes and streams to my cheeks.

"I hate your tears.".....and without wiping them he leave the house and I stay there numb and broken.

****

It's more than two hours and Dhruv did not come back. I don't know where he went. I tried his phone but he is not picking up. I was just praying that he is fine. He was looking really angry when he leave the house.

It's already evening and we have to leave from here within hour if we don't want to miss our flight. But it's not important, right now I am missing him so much and want him beside me. I know, I am at fault. I should have shown those people their places but what it gonna change,

Nothing..

They still have the same opinion for me.

I went to balcony to get some fresh air but got shock when I saw Atul bhiya was arguing with Dhruv. I forget everything and ran to downstairs. I want Dhruv to get involve with such low people.

By the time I reached downstairs I saw Dhruv and Atul bhiya was holding each other's collars. I ran to them and pushed Atul bhiya away from them.

"You bitch. How dare you...?" He raised his hand to slap me but I hold his hand and glare at him, daring him to do that again.

"I am not that Aditi who used weak and crave for your love. So think before to touch me and if you dare to touch my husband again I swear to Dhruv I will fuck your life." I jerked away his hands. Hold Dhruv's hand and went turn to go back to our house but.

"I knew you were a whore. Everyone was right. You can do anything for money.."

Dhruv and I halted on our place. Dhruv was about to beat the shit about him but I stopped him.

I scoffed, "You know what, I don't care what you think about me. What you used to say that no one gonna marry me. See whom I am married with. One more thing, what your mother said I am characterless..? Then let me prove her right at least she will die in peace."

Without thinking anything I hold Dhruv by his neck and slammed my lips on him kissing him passionately, giving no chance to kiss me back. But after sometime Dhruv composed himself, hold me by my waist and kissed me back.

This is not me but for once I want be like this to make feel jealous and angry to my so called mother who standing on the balcony of her room and smirking when Atul bhiya was arguing with Dhruv. It was just a little payback from my side what she and her family have done to me in all these years. I would be the first girl in her conservative family who kissed her husband publicly. It was enough for her to give sleepless night for a week at least.

Dhruv has smile on his face when I broke the kiss but I have tears in my eyes because I have done something which does not show my character. Without saying anything I walked from there, leaving my mother and brother in shock.
