THEIR UNWANTED MARRIAGE

PART 13

"What should I do?" I asked to myself

"Maybe talk to your wife" - my inner self replied

"Talk? With Arohi?" - I chuckled- It would be a miracle if we "talked"

"Try it maybe you get answers to everything"

"Maybe!"

There was a knock on the door. I said the person to come in.

"Sir the conference room is ready" Mihika, my assistant said and I just hummed.

"Um sir are you alright?" she asked

"Yeah why?" I asked. Why is everyone asking me the same question? What's wrong with everyone.

"You look tired and pale than usual. Do you want me to make an appointment with doctor?"

"No, thanks" I said getting up and heading to the conference room.

.........................................................................

Arohi's POV:

"Arohi what do you think about this?" Rishita, my friend asked

"No Rishita the quality of this fabric is not good" I said going through other fabrics.

Urgh it's been hell of a week. I have been working day and night on my designs. There is this big event in our college and all the top students from every batch are selected for representing the college. As I am one of the candidates, I am under so much pressure. My friends are helping me with designs and fabric.

There will be many renown designers are personalities. It's a very big opportunity and very difficult one.

I have finalized my designs, now I am looking for different fabrics. But the most infuriating thing is I am unable to find that one perfect fabric for my dress. I went way too many shops, seen almost every fabric but none of it caught my eye. Guess the one I a looking for doesn't exist.

"Arohi go home and get some sleep, you look so tired" Sameer said

"Yeah. Anyways the fabric is nowhere to be found" I passed them a small smile.

It's been a week since I saw Mr. Mehra. Not that I miss him, just that I'm habitual to see him around, fight with him, snap him and what not.

But the most important thing right now is that I want to sleep so badly, but this work is not letting me even breathe with peace. I so want to cry.

I plug in my earphones, take a bus and head home.

It's strange, the penthouse which I used to hate, now I am calling it home. Earlier it used to give me all spooky vibes but now it gives me homely feeling. Don't know when that spooky place became my paradise.

.

I punched the codes and entered the penthouse and sit in the living room. Uff I missed this couch so much.

It's tiring to be out the whole day and then be inside that room the rest. Once this event gets over, trust me I am so not going to stay inside that stupid room. I love my room but staying inside all the time is making me hate it now.

"Arohi you look so tired dear, do you want a coffee or something" Mrs. Annie asked with conern. Well yes I look like hell.

"No thanks Mrs. Annie. Is the dinner ready?" I asked with a faint smile.

"Yes dear everything is ready. I was just leaving, do you want me to stay?" She asked with her all time generous smile.

"Oh no no. Please get going. I'll take care of the rest"

"Are you sure dear?"

"Yes"

"Okay then have a good night and take some rest" she said I just nodded.

Mrs. Annie and other butlers left and I sighed. It's 6 PM that means Mr. Mehra is yet to come, till then I must take a nap or I'll go crazy.

I was too tired to go to my room so I just lay down on the couch. This feels heaven!!

I don't know when my eyes closed and sleep took me to the other world.

------------------------------------------------------------

Abhishek finished all his work early today so that he can go home and take some rest. He got into his Aston Martin and headed home. He got inside pressing his temples, uhh he needs a coffee so badly.

In the living room he saw his wife sleeping soundly like a baby on the couch. Her lips parted and hairs messy, she was looking so adorable. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

Some of her hairs came in between, blocking his view so he crouched down and removed them. He caressed her cheeks softly.

"Give your relationship a chance" Suket's words rang in his ears. "Maybe he was right. Maybe this could work out" he thought looking at her.

Arohi sensed his presence and opened her eyes lightly. Seeing him she smiled "You are early today"

Her smile took away all his tiredness, he smiled back "Why are you sad seeing me early?" He asked in a teasing tone, while caressing her cheeks.

She chuckled and got up "Yeah. I was sleeping so peacefully and you decided to ruin my happy sleep"

He shook his head and sat beside her. "Why do you look so tired?" she asked.

"What's with everyone asking me the same question again and again? First dad, then Mihika and now you" Hearing Mihika's name made her frown, but then she shook her thoughts. She is no one to ask him who she is.

"Who is Mihika?" she thought.

"Why are you jealous" - her inner self mocked

"No why would I be jealous. I am just... curious"

"Then don't be sweetheart, you have no right to ask him questions, remember?" - her inner self reminded her, her sad truth.

"Yeah.." she looked at him

Arohi gave a small smile "Because you look like you you have been up for 3 days straight. Just look at yourself"

He face palmed himself and leaned back on the couch. "Yeah. Can I get a coffee? I need it so badly"

Arohi was quite shocked. This was the first time he was asking her for something. Usually he would just order her and now he is "asking" her. This was a change and something new. A smiled formed on her lips and she said "Sure. Um do you want to eat something or just coffee"

"Nope just a coffee would work" she nodded and headed to the kitchen.
