Abhinav's POV

I groaned when I felt sunrays on my face. I asked disha to close the curtains but no one answered. I woke up and sat on my bed.

"Ugh!" I groaned clutching my head. I shook my head and opened my eyes to see the time. Shit! It's 11:00 am. Why disha didn't woke me up?

"Because your dumbass told her to mind her own business" my conscience mocked and I looked at my nightstand to check my phone.

Near my phone a glass of water and a painkiller was kept with a note stick on it. I picked up the note and a smile automatically made it's way to my face.
 
Mr. Kapoor,

I kept a painkiller with a glass of       water for you as I know you might have a hangover. Khushi went to her school and I am also going to office. I have kept your breakfast with a lemonade on dining table so if you want you can have it.
                                                        ~  Disha

I always hurt her but then also she never fails to amaze me. Her these caring actions are making it really hard for me to pretend that I hate her because hate is a strong word to express for someone like her but this word is much more meaningful and applicable for Rishi. Nevermind, But how did she know that I drank yesterday?

Shit!! Did I came home like a drunkard last night and who brought me back? Was I that much drunk that I didn't remember anything? Did I do or say something strange to her yesterday?

I closed my eyes and tried to remember everything that happened yesterday.

~Flashback~

I was going to disha's office to meet khushi but when I reached her floor I heard a girl mocking her about our marriage and is questioning her relationship with khushi.

I was going to give her a piece of mind when disha beat me to it and gave her a befitting reply. Disha turned to leave and when she saw me she was shocked but didn't said anything and I left from there towards my cabin.

Khushi didn't saw me because she was hiding her face in the crook of disha's neck. I was going to my elevator thinking "How I wanted to be in khushi's place right now?".

"Abhi, do you want disha to carry you in the same way she was carrying khushi?" I heard deepak beside me and he was biting his lips to control his laugh. I glared him saying that I didn't said anything and he teasingly raised his eyebrows.

"Don't bite your lips in front of me" I said because when he is doing that disha's face is coming in my mind as it's her habit when she is nervous. It really makes hard for me to control at that time and now that I have kissed her once I wanted to do it again and again.

But I don't think you will get a chance anytime soon because of the way you behaved with her after kissing her.

Elevator door's opened and I went inside but deepak didn't entered instead he was looking at me weirdly. "Are you coming inside or should I go alone?" I asked him.

"Your earlier comment and we being in an elevator is not at all appealing as I feel like you are going to pin me to the wall and gonna kiss me hard just like in fifty shades of grey. For your kind information I am straight bro" he said while putting his hands around his chest dramatically.

I scoffed and pressed the button to my floor as I am not in the mood for his bickering. When doors were about to close he entered hurriedly.

"Chill abhi, I was just trying to cheer your mood. Now tell me what were you doing there?" he asked and I remembered everything that girl said. I told him everything in a nut shell and then we went to our respective cabins.

I called my assistant ritu and asked her to bring that girl who argued with disha just now to my cabin. Few minutes later I heard a knock on my cabin and I told the person on the other side to come in.

"Good afternoon sir, Did you asked for me?" she said over sweetly in a pathetic attempt to sound her voice seductive. I didn't replied her and stood from my place.

"Why did you argued with my wife and daughter unnecessarily?" I yelled and she looked down being scared and embarassed.

"Don't pretend that your relationship is normal because I know everything that it is far from that. She doesn't deserve  to be your wife as she is not that much beautiful and intelligent" she said smiling at me.

"YOU ARE FIRED!! Pack your bags and don't you ever say anything against my wife and if I ever heard you bitching about her I will black list you so that you can't get a good job in all over India" I said glaring at her.

She looked shocked and tried to convince me that she is very sorry and will not say anything to disha. But I didn't gave any heed to her as she should have thought about that before mocking her. When she confirmed that I am not going to change my decision she started to go out.

"Wait! Before leaving my company you will apologize to my wife and don't you dare tell her about our conversation just now. For your information she is the most beautiful woman I have ever met and intelligent too so don't bitch about others in jealousy" I said and started doing my work. She sighed and left my cabin.

Why the hell am I feeling like this sudden strong attraction towards her? I think deepak was right I should dig into the past to know more about rishi and gauri's relationship. I don't think I can hurt disha more now.

Whole day was passed in a blink in me doing my work. I called deepak but he was in a club so I also went there. It's been long since I came here.

I spotted deepak as he was drinking beer sitting alone. I sat beside him and he passed me a glass of wine.

"Deepak I think you are right we should dig into the gauri's past more" I said and he looked shocked but then smiled at me.

"Yupp, I knew that you will come to your senses soon if I will talk to you. Don't worry I have already found shivam's location. He will come back to India after 1 month and then we can proceed further" he said and I nodded.

"Deepak, what if disha is found innocent and all this time I behaved like a jerk to her. Will she forgive me?" I asked him while sipping my wine.

"I don't know but I think she will after knowing the reason. I just hope you don't do anything within this month which will be beyond repairable. To be honest I think if it's not for khushi she would have left you by now because of your arrogance" he said and I slightly nodded. I will not do anything until the truth comes out.

We talked for a while drinking. But the thought which was revolving around my mind was deepak's last sentence "If it's not for khushi she would have left you by now because of your arrogance".

As it's been a long time we drank and talked freely so we drank and drank for how long I don't know. When it was time for the bar to close, our drivers came inside to take us with them. My driver left me after I entered inside our home.

I don't remember much but know that I was stumbling on my steps and was about to fall when disha caught me and laid me down on my bed.

~Flashback ends~

Shit! Shit! I asked disha to not leave me ever. She might be thinking of me as a psycho as one time I say that I don't want her near me and the next time I told her to not leave me ever. It's all because of that bastard deepak! Ahh!

I groaned being embarassed and ruffled all my hair. I went inside washroom and after I was ready I went to dining room to have my breakfast.

I ate the breakfast and then left for the office. When I reached my cabin ritu greeted me and came with a file in her hands while smiling.

I took the file and saw that it was the same report file of disha which I asked her to correct it inspite of it's accuracy. I was really a jerk to her.

I opened the file and on it's front page a note was stick written by disha that she checked all these and submitted at my office at sharp 10. For the proof she pasted a picture of my office wall clock which shows both date and time. I chuckled seeing her childishness.

I did my work and decided to go home early as I haven't been spending much time with khushi but to my bad luck one of my important investor called me and preponed our tomorrow's meeting today. 

Are you really going home early for khushi only or you want to see disha too as you haven't seen her from yesterday?

My conscience mocked and I threw the pen which was in my hand on the file being irritated because of my conscience. Why the hell he has became so active from yesterday it's annoying me now?

I went home as soon as the meeting was over. It was almost 11:00 when I reached home. I washed my hands and ate the dinner which was placed on the dining table most probably by disha.

After eating I went to Khushi's room and she was sleeping while hugging her teddy bear. I kissed her forehead and left the room silently to not disturb her.

I opened our bedroom door and saw disha sleeping while covering herself from head to toe with the duvet. But I thought I heard the commotion from the room when I was passing by to khushi's room.

I went inside the washroom and when I changed into my nightwear I laid on my bed while looking towards the couch to peek a glance at her but to my disappointment she was fully covered. I don't know when sleep engulfed while I kept on gawking at her.
