I stare at the platinum band. I bought it for her from my salary. I signed off after completing three months. You can do anything when you're the owner of the company. It's a surprise for her. She won't say it ever. I can see it clearly in her eyes. Feelings are mutual, I want her to forget her past and start the journey of her life with me happily.
" Brother, welcome back! " Karan runs at me and puts his arms around my neck tightly. It's the time when he actually behaves like a kid. He's looking sad instead of happy.
" You're late, " I strongly dab him on his back.
" Sorry, you know, mom. " He pulls his head back and looks at me, " I missed you. "
" Miss.... you.... too kiddo!" I smirk.
Squaring my shoulders, I throw my bag at him. He catches
I run my hand through my hair in exasperation. I couldn't find her anywhere. If she hasn't boarded the plane. Where could she be? I've tried her number again and again. It's still switched off. I haven't felt empty before. My phone rings. Immediately I answered, " Dad, is she home? " My chest is heaving with fury. My jaw tensed, my teeth grind in the attempt to control my anger as I wait for him to reply. " I'm sending you an address. She must be there. Or they could know. Where's she? " Dad says. I don't have time to ask for the details. I'll ask about it later. First, I want her close to me. Disconnecting the call, I click on the text. I rush to the car out of the airport. " Is she home? " Karan asks. '' I don't know. Dad has sent an ad
I stare at the socks down on my feet. I tap my feet nervously on the floor. It's making a soft sound. I'm not feeling that monster's touch on me anymore. There's another problem. Whenever I see my bare feet, last night flashes before my eyes. That wasn't my intention. I'm feeling strange in a good way after consummating our wedding. I glance at myself in the mirror, where my skater skirt ends on my thighs and my black socks reach them. I shake my head and remove them. I grab high knee shoes. My black top is full sleeves and clings to my body. I put my hair down to hide my curves. It's at least helping. I was planning not to see my husband today. When I woke up he was already draped into a dark suit. It's matching with his hair, giving him a dapper look. He's in his office. Girls must be gawking at him. I thin my lips and grab my purse. I need to distract myself from our last night now.&nb
My husband walks beside me. His hand is resting on my lower back. I get to know him more. Lunch was great with him. He is talking in Spanish on the phone. I know a few words. Now, I don't wanna go home and face his mother. Pretty girls pass through us. My eyes are already on my husband. He gives them barely a second of his attention before he looks straight. I glance at them. They give me a hateful look. I actually smile. I want my husband to be more beautiful than me. I want all eyes on him, but his eyes on me. I purse my lips to hide my smile. He shoves his phone back in his pocket, " I'm driving you home." He says. " No, You have a lot of work in the office," I say to him. The girls are still looking at him for his gaze to turn on them. He sighs in dismay at my response, " Sure? " He asks. " I trust
He attended the dinner with a relaxed expression, but his jaw was slightly tight all the time. I kept my head down, eyes on my plate. Fortunately, Mini was so deep in her thoughts. That she couldn't pay much attention to me. Sippy was looking upset and her phone captured her entire attention. I promised myself to talk about it later. It was my husband, who kept my brain occupied all the time. He's short-tempered. Is he? Something stirred in him yesterday when he couldn't see me where I should be. I stare at his dramatic v-line of the strong body as he comes out of the shower. His one hand is at his side and with the second he is rubbing the towel in his wet hair. He throws the towel at the back of the chair. He looks over me, gradually he covers the gap, his amber eyes caress my body. He lays next to me and curls his strong arm around my stomach. I'm s
I drape myself in a bathrobe and walk out of it. I glance at the red roses over the nightstand. Bare Feet I walk over the marble floor. It's looking cool against my soles. I extend my hand and touch the soft petals. My phone vibrates against the wooden. I gaze at it. Get ready, baby. We're getting late for the function. Mini's text message pops up instantly. I hear the sound of soft giggling. I glance at the hall. Mini is leaning against the wall, " Beautiful roses, " She smirks. I take steps away from it and stride toward the cupboard, " I was just watching them. " I say to her. " Should I help you? " Sippy asks. Last night I almost forgot to talk to her. She is perfectly hiding it behind her smiling face. I'll take her when no one around two of us. I can't make the surroundings for Mini stressful.
The room feels lonely without him. I take a last look at myself in the mirror. My phone pings on the nightstand. I turn to get it. ' Can I see you? ' - Husband. I smile at his demand. I click my picture in a saffron gown and send it to him. I put it back and wait for him to reply. I don't get a reply. I contort my lips. I hold my clutch along with the phone and head out. Mini is standing alone with Karan, " Where is Sippy? " I ask. My brows crease in confusion. " She isn't feeling well," Mini says. I turn on my heels instantly, " Mina will stay with her. Don't worry. " She says. " We're not staying there long. " I ask her. " I'm planning the same. Everyone wants to know when I'm going to marry." Karan clenches his jaw.&nb
I loosen my tie and pull it away. I dart my eyes around, " Jaan! " I usually found her getting ready for bed or reading something on her phone. I walk over to the hall. There's no sign of her, " Suhana! " My voice raises and I turn to the washroom. She isn't visible in the room. I rake my gaze one more time around the room. I walk over to the desk after sighting a note and narrow my eyes. My phone vibrates in my pocket. I fish it out. She has messaged me from Fb. I click on the text immediately. ' I'm switching off my phone, I'm on a flight. I'll call you after reaching there. Please, don't get mad at me. ' " What's the fuck it this! " I run my hand in my hair. I click on Kabir's number. I didn't wait for him to say anything, " My wife has recently boar
He slams the door as he gets out of the car and leaves me alone in the car. I stare out of the window. Karan opens the door for me. He takes a step back and crosses his arms over his chest. He stares down at me. " Don't give me that look. Your brother has done a lot. " I sigh and step out of the car. " I haven't seen him so disturb before." He drops his arms with a heavy sigh, " You should tell him. He didn't eat, drink. He... " He rakes both hands in his hair, " Don't do this again," he says. " I'll tell you next time instead of him, " I say to him and close the door behind me. " Seriously! You gotta be kidding me." He stares at me again. " He's pretty mad. I left a note for him." I glance back at the mansion, " Where are we? " I ask, changing the topic. " One of our properties." H
