UNSPOKEN LOVE

Chapter 31

[MEMBERSONLY]

[NOCOPY]

Khsuhi's POV

As the Sun rays tried to enter my room, I stirred in my slumber to get some more sleep. I had been sleeping this comfortably after so long that I wasn't in the mood to wake up. I covered myself with the duvet and snuggled more into my pillow. I don't complain sleeping on the recliner but it is a bit small for my size and the entire night I have to keep adjusting to accommodate myself in it and to stop myself from falling don. I dozed off again but then the Sun was not in the mood to let me sleep. I felt something heavy on my body and lazily when I opened my eyes I found myself in the death grip of my husband's cage. Getting up was like disturbing him, and he looked so peaceful, that it would be a sin to wake him up. he works so hard and even on the days where everyone rests he has to work. I closed my eyes again, as neither I was in the mood to get up and I quickly fell asleep once again in the morning.

When I opened my eyes, my every inch of the body felt relaxed. I outstretched my body fully, removing every bit of a sleep from my bones.

"Aren't you in the mood to get up." Arnvaji's voice startled me and I realized that he was missing from the bed.

"When did you woke up?" I asked sitting down on the bed and tying my hair.

"Few minutes ago." He informed.

"Oh...did you sleep well?" I asked him in formality, I know how well he slept.

"Apart from your few kicks here and there, it was okay."

"Hahaha." I laughed sarcastically. "I don't kick." I mocked.

"Sure you don't. Your malnutrieted body is not strong enough to leave a bruise otherwise I would have filed a complaint against you." He retaliate.

I was just about to drop the most hurtful words for his ego but someone knocked on our door.

"Arnavji...your coffee." Didi came in an gave him is coffee.

"thank you." he said politely.

"Where is mine?" I asked.

"First get up and brush your teeth." She said and I could see him smirking from behind and with that didi left. I sighed. Here is my family who doesn't care for me and is treating him like a king and there is his, where I am treated like queen and he like a slave. I miss Di and Nani so much.

Taking some clothes out for me I quickly got into the washroom and with a quick bath I changed into my clothes but when I came back to my room.

""You took so long." Arnavji snapped at me as I entered the room.

"I took the quickest bath of my life.

"Oh really? You took almost 40 minutes." And hearing 40 minutes me eyes widened.

"40 minutes?" I said to myself cum asked.

"Yes...what were you doing. Had fallen asleep in the bathroom?" he mocked and I flustered in embarrassment.

"This is the minimum times for girls." I said my defense. He huffed loudly and taking his clothes hu marched towards the washroom and in the meanwhile I made the bed.

As he arrived, we were summoned for the breakfast and everything included his favorites. He was getting a bit comfortable around my family which made me happy.

"Did you sleep well?" Mummy asked.

"Yes aunty." He replied shortly.

"Hope she doesn't show her Kung Fu skills while sleeping." didi said and everyone chuckled including Aenavji making me glare every single person on the table.

"I am accustomed to it as well." Arnavji said. Liar...we don't even sleep together and when we sleep I make sure I stay in control.

"When we were young she either used to fell down from the trying to conquer the bed or would crush me own." Didi said

"She fell down ones when we were in Shimla." he said with a smile trying to suppress his laughter and I wished the floor could split in two so I could go down there.

"Enough now...else I'll tell everyone that you are scared of lizards and rats."I said.

"I am not scared of rat." He retorted.

"Yes you are. Di told me" And if the looks would kill then my family would have been sobbing in the loss of their younger daughter.

"Khushi..." mummy interrupted and I sat in silence. After that we ate the breakfast in silence. After breakfast I helped mummy with lunch and Arnavji went into the room, and soon I was summoned.

"I have transferred your fees and some extra money for your other expenses to your account." He informed.

"Why?" I asked him in disbelief.

"What why? " he shot his question but didn't bother looking up from the laptop.

"I mean I don't need your money." and that must have fueled him because the way he looked me said it all.

"Khushi..." thankfully mummy called me but as I was about to escape he called me.

"We'll talk about this later." I nodded and ran away. I know he doesn't like back answering or arguments but sometimes I can't hold my tongue.

I rushed out of room and mummy took me to her room and started showing me the gifts which she had bought for Arnavji and his family.

"This wasn't required Ma." I told hr.

"It was and you won't understand all these things...Arnanji would like this?" and she gestured me towards the gift.

"He would." I smiled faintly hoping he would like these.

"Are you happy their?" for the second time she asked me.

"Yes I am." I said a bit loudly so she could believe me.

I was happily roaming her and there in my house, enjoying the feeling of being at home. But then my thought of Arnavji for ones, he was in the room for the entire day, he came out for to have his lunch and again he locked himself in. he must be feeling lonely and bored too. But I was trying to stay out of his sight. Gathering some courage I opened the door of my room just to peek in what he was doing. As usual I saw him romancing with his laptop, thinking of not to enter loins den, I took my head out but his voice startled me.

"What are you doing Khushi?"

"You saw me? Do you have eyes on your back too?" i asked.

"You don't walk like cat, plus your payal keeps me on alert." He stated but his eyes were still glued on the screen.

"Ohh...now I can't come with a dagger to murder you from behind. Thank you for telling me not to wear payals and walk softly." I said while walking in the room.

For the first time he turned to look me and I smirked. He continued to work but then he rubbed his neck for few times rounding his skull 2-3 times, which made some crackling sound of his bones.

"Are you tired?" I asked and he just plainly nodded. I approached him and placing my hands on his shoulders, I tried to massage it slightly. I could sense his muscles tense under my touch but I didn't give up. I continued to massage his shoulders and neck firmly and ultimately he relaxed a bit.

"Better?" I asked and he nodded. His eyes were close and leaned back on the chair.

"Why do you keep working all the time? Come let me take you somewhere." I declared and even before he could protest I shut his laptop and grabbing his hand I led him to place which he would like.

I took him to the terrace which had a small garden which we had made. When I was here I took care of very plant and flowers. I never allowed anyone to touch my flowers but now it is under the care of Ma. I had planted roses of different-different colors which were on the outer area of the garden making a boundary. The roses were blooming and it's aroma filled my nostrils. After the boundary of roses there were several bonsais of oranges, mangoes, and lemons. The little fruits very heavy for the small plants but it looked pretty. I especially learnt the art of making bonsai for my terrace garden. There were some other plants of lilies, tulips, and sunflowers. I like flowering plants, so I preferred planting them more. I saw Arnavji who was standing beside me, looking at the garden in awe.

"You like it?" I asked him a low voice.

"It's beautiful." He smiled looking at me.

"Come." I dragged him towards the garden.

"You know I took special lessons to make these bonsai and these rose hybrids." I told him.

"You did this?" he asked me all of a sudden startling me. his voice was a bit high pitched which he usually used to scold me.

"Y-Yes..." I stuttered.

"It's so beautiful...you never told me about this." he said.

"We never talked each other's interest but when Di told me you like gardening and when I saw your huge garden, I was mesmerized. This is nothing in front of yours." I told him and he remained silent looking at my orange roses.

"What is that?" he asked me while advancing towards a little hut like structure covered by crawlers.

"It's my little hiding place." as I said he looked me suspiciously.

"Whenever I used to break Ma's precious item or whenever I needed an escape form people, I used to hide here." I told him and he chuckled lightly.

"So you were always nerve wrecking." He said and I glared him.

"Next weakened we'll be working together in my garden." He order-cum-asked-cum-declared and I nodded.

We spent good time together on the terrace as he kept asking me or telling me about his plants. At least something good happened here that I got to know his interest well. I just knew he likes gardening that too from DI but now when he himself told me it felt so good.

The day evaporated very quickly than expected and after the dinner we were ready to leave. I cried a bit as I miss them a lot. Arnavji was not at all helpful as he was keeping the gifts on the backseat. He didn't liked Ma and papa spending so much money on us but then it was said it was required.

"I'll be back soon." I sobbed and then he started the ignition and we left.

The silence consumed the car until he decided to break it.

"You can come whenever you want."

"Hmm."

"What were you talking about that you don't need my money." He enquired.

"Yes...I don't need your money." I said.

"And how are you going to pay for your fees and other expenses."

"I'll manage." I said and then again we both sat in silence but then the rejection of his proposal forced him to speak again.

"Don't tell me you came here to beg in front of your parents?" his jaws were clenced and he spoke in grttied teeth.

"Why would I beg in front of my own parents?" I exasperated.

"Listen, as long as you are living with me...no matter for 8 months or 8 days...I don't want you to beg in front of anyone for money..is that clear?" he asked.

"I didn't beg in front of anyone." I retorted.

" Then? From where are you going to bring the money?" he mocked.

"I said I'll manage." I could see his knuckles turning white on the steering.

"Let me make one thing clear, you have my name now...I don't consider you as my wife but that doesn't mean you are free to do anything you want...you have to do what I say...get this thing in your head." He yelled.

As his words reached my ears silence consumed the car. I looked out of the window to ignore what he just said but then I heard myself saying something.

"What was that kiss for?" I said feebly and I doubted he even heard me or not.

"It was a mistake and a part of the act." He said softly and as his words escaped his lips a sob escaped my throat. I wasn't expecting this. Out of all the things he would call it a mistake? To say I was just hurt would be an understatement. All of a sudden a screeching sound of the brakes filled my ears and as I looked up the car circled on the road towards left due to the sudden brake application making my head hit the glass of the window.

"DAMN." He yelled making me flinch.

"Ahh..." I screamed loudly holding my head with the impact of the collision. My head spinned but then I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"Are you okay?" he asked in concern and I nodded trying to concentrate on vision as everything appeared blurry.

"Khsuhi...are you."

"I am fine." I screamed holding my head in my hands while removing his from my shoulder.

"All of sudden that stupid dog appeared...and it went out of control." He confessed and I unbuckled my seatbelt.

"W-What are you doing?" I stepped out of the car and stumbled a bit and came in front. Crouching down on the road, I saw a small white puppy trying to hide under the car. He must have been hurt too.

"Khushi what are you doing?" arnavji asked kneeling down beside me.

As I extended my hand to take him out he moved back.

"What are you doing? He can.."

"He is scared." I yelled again. "if you wanted to show your anger then show it on me, I am accustomed to it but not this little puppy you almost killed." I snapped. It's true to never agitate the driver, he over speeds and then accident like these are bound to happen.

I cooed and somehow that puppy came in my arms. I scooped him up and checked him. Something was wrong in his limb as he yelped whenever I touched it.

"You'll be okay." I assured him and bought him with me.

"Khushi are you sure you okay, we can go to the doctor. I am so sorry...i just..." he rambled.

"I am fine but he is not... please take us home." I pleaded and he looked at the puppy ones but then nodded. Driving back home I kept caressing his soft fur to subsidize his pain. A sharp pain was shooting in my skull but more than mine his pain was important. He parked the car and as I was about to open the door, he was already their opening it for me.

"Come." he supported me from my shoulder as I stumbled a bit in walking. Thankfully everyone was asleep so we don't have anyone to explain anything.

"Sit." He made me sit on the bed and examined my head with light hands but as he touched my skull, it exploded and tears fell down from my eyes.

"It wasn't intentional...it was just..."

"You never hurt intentionally Arnavji." I spoke softly and he looked into my eyes. the words escaped my mouth without thinking twice and they held a lot of meanings which was beyond his understandings but then guilt flashed up in his eyes and another tear rolled down my cheeks. It felt that he wanted to say something but he immediately shut his mouth. Scooping the puppy a bit tighter, I left Arnavji there on the floor and walked into the washroom.

He had few cuts on his body. I washed them and applied antiseptic hoping it works on dogs too. He wasn't able to stand but I couldn't see any injury. Hoping nothing is serious I bought him back and kept him next to my recliner. All the while I could sense a pair of eyes watching my back but I was least effected.

Taking a quick shower and walking out from the washroom in clean clothes I made my way to the recliner and sat on it holding my head in my hands.

"Take these." He bought 2 tablets for me and without saying anything I just gulped them down as he sat beside me.

"I-" he started by cut him off in the middle.

"Let's sleep, i am tired." i declared and looking down in his laps he nodded.

"You can sleep on the bed. i'll take the recliner." he asked softly and hesitantly.

"I am fine." I said and I laid down praying that they work soon.

"If you need anything just call out for me." I nodded but that only ended hurting me more, giving a final glance to the puppy who was now already asleep and covering my face with duvet which was already kept on the recliner, of course by Arnavji, I slept. And the moment later, the tears rolled down from the corner of my eyes worsening my headache. I don't know why I was crying. This words or the pain from my skull but whatever it was it kept me awake for a long time unless the tablets started working on my system.
