Sanjiv's POV

I had a hectic day, first I had to complete my work in five days instead of seven days. I wanted to return to India as soon as possible because I can't be away from her for more than a week. Only I know how I spent these five days. She is my drug. At first, I thought I should teach her a lesson for questioning me, that's why I gave her a silent treatment. I ignored her calls and messages too. Even though I was missing her and wanted to talk to her, I just couldn't do that. She needs to know her limits. It should be me who questions, not her. Spending five days without her was hard for me too, but at the same time, she deserves punishment for trying to dominate me. I guess Five days of the silent treatment is enough for her.

That's why I decided to complete my work as soon as possible, and then I ran to the airport so that I could fly to India only to surprise my wife. I thought I would get a warm welcome from her. I expected

Ask yourself " she pushed him away with all her might and was about to take the first step when again Sanjiv caged her with his arms.

An abrupt wave of breeze hit my skin making me feel alive. The amount of peace I fetched right now, is all I wanted.
