Marrying You Is The BIGGEST Mistake I Did

Chapter 20

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

Arnav finished his work and went to sleep at 3 in the morning, wanting to sleep for a while more, only to find the bed empty.

He went and looked at her study room and saw her sleeping on the couch.

He groaned.

Oh God! why was she doing this.?

Hadn't he dragged her to sleep beside him in the bed.

He shook his head and went to sleep.

He woke up when Hariprakash woke him up.

Hariprakash woke him whenever he overslept nowadays.

He knew it was his wife sending him to wake him up. Because, one day he had  scolded her a lot for not waking and from that day she always sent Hariprakash to wake him up.

She always brought the worst in him.

He did his morning duties and went to dining table tohave breakfast.

His food was served by a smiling Khushi saying something to his Di.

He could see Di's happiness at how Khushi was finally getting along with them.

He finished his breakfast silently, eyes never leaving her face and then went to his room to get ready.

He put his shirt and fumbled around the button.

He looked at her getting things for college almost mechanically.

Her laughter was fake downstairs.

He could see sadness in every gesture.

What happened..?

He didn't know.

He just wanted her to not look like this.

He then got an idea to have a reason to talk with her.

He pulled the tie and called her,

“Khushi, come here.."

“Sir..?" She still has lowered head.

It's becoming a habit to her nowadays.

He asked her, if she knew how to use a tie.

She nodded, not knowing why he's asking this.

She did use to wear tie in her school uniform till twelfth grade.

She looked at him puzzlingly.

He gave her the tie and told her to tie it around his neck.

Arnav gave a lame excuse about something suddenly happened to his hand and its in pain.

She just nodded and found herself unable to reach his neck.

“Sir, I can't reach you.."

Arnav decides to sit on the nearby chair.

Arnav felt hyper aware of her when she bent down, leaning towards him to move the tie on the back of his collar.

He was just an inch from her neck.

He gulped down his desires forcefully when she pulled away and put the tie around his neck.

He could feel her touch even through the shirt.

He was in a daze and nodded when she told him it was finished.

He totally forgot about asking her why she was so sad.

He shook his head and went to office, convincing himself it doesn't matter..

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

Khushi ran to the study room, thanking God, no one was in home to see her like this.

She knew what day today was but still she went. She knew that she will suffer.

She left college in a hurry even though it was only noon.

But what happened in college was beyond anything she had imagined.

She threw her bag away and locked the study.

She was strong, she repeated to herself but she couldn't help but think about the unfair things happening to her.

She shuddered to think about today's event.

She hugged herself and cried.

She hated being so weak..

She hated herself..

Her life..

She hated everything..
