It was a very gloomy atmosphere at the Poddar House because the light of the house,the ever charming and cheerful Abhira was sad , she was not talking like the way she used to , she was completing all her poddar bahu duties relegiously without any arguments, extra talks, pjs nothing.She was not even trying to speak more than monosyllables to anybody who was trying to get her back to her old self, even vidhya maa, dadisa everyone tried but no avail.
And all the while the reason being none other than her dear husband, Mr Armaan Poddar and why because she has refused to intern at the Poddar's law firm. Ever since the Yuvraaj kaand happened,he had become very protective of her. Firstly, she was shocked at the new turn of events but in the little corner of her heart she was liking the new feelings of him being so protective,considerate and caring towards her. But now it was getting out of hands because he was adamant on the fact of her doing her internship at their firm.Otherwise he is not going to talk to her let alone be interested in knowing about her daily whereabouts.
On the other side, Armaan was going crazy ever since she has started giving him the silent treatment he clearly did not deserve. He has tried every damn thing he could to let her agree to his request but she did not budge so he tried the trick which he was sure would work that was treating her with indifference and not acknowledging her at all being all normal in front of the family but in private, he has gone completely silent and so did she. He thought that maybe she would accept the request but she also decided to give him the same treatment and to be honest he was missing her cheerfulness, her charm, her never ending talks,their banters , their alone time where she would tell everything about how her day went have completed subsided and now he was missing it all really bad. So finally having enough of it he had decided the last plan which he hated himself but was confident it would work. The angry and angsty Armaan which he was sure Abhira did not like and did not appreciate at all but she would eventually agree if he showed her this side .So he decided that he is going to show her the angry and crazy side of the ever so calm Armaan and make her agree to the request.
After dinner, everyone was chatting in the drawing room and Abhira was also there , she was silent again she was leaving when Krish stopped her and asked " Bhabhi, where are you going ? Come ,on sit with us we all are chilling together and we are missing your talks ." The whole gang nodded. She smiled and told them that she was busy and was not feeling well so she will join them later.but again krish said" Bhabhi ,we know something has happened between Bhaiya and you. Please try to solve it as soon as possible and come back to your old self. If there is any problem we can talk to Armaan bhaiya about that and don't worry we all are in your team." Hearing his name in the conversation,Armaan's curiosity perked up and he also tried to listen to the conversation they were having . Then Abhira spoke that there is nothing they can do when their Bhaiya has become so stubborn, ignorant and indifferent towards her. He felt really bad by how she spoke about him that way with a smile behind which she was hiding that she was really hurt and upset which his this behaviour. But Abhira being Abhira won't accept the request and be stubborn, she doesn't care about her safety but he does more than she can imagine he is always worried about her , when she is at work .If she starts working at their firm atleast he will have her in front of him and will know how she is doing and will be safe with him in the office away from any prying eyes. So he decided to end this once and for all and make her agree to this .
Armaan jumped up in the conversation and asked Abhira to accompany him to their room which she refused so he aked again but still she told him she will come in some time. Having enough of her stupid tantrums he held her hand gently but firmly and started pulling her with him to their room. To others it was looking as if Armaan wanted to spend some time with her and she was not going so he took her away from the whole family to spend some private or as manisha chachi said some romantic time.They all gave them Knowing smiles . Meanwhile Ruhi was looking at all this and internally shaking in jealousy and anger as she witnessed the scene in front of her eyes.
As Armaan entered the room with Abhira he left her hand with a jerk and went to close the door and lock it. Abhira watched this with wide eyes as he never locks the door until they both are going to sleep and he was very very angry on something or rather someone . He looked like he was going to break everything in the room with the rage and fury he was looking at her.Abhira was not really used to this side of Armaan and whenever he used this side ,she did not show but internally she used to get really scared . Abhira was going to ask her the reason on why has he literally dragged her in front of the whole house but decided against it as he was looking at her with some really intense emotion and he was breathing heavily as if trying to calm down himself.
Slowly and steadily, he started taking steps towards her still looking at her with the same intense emotion she could not decipher. Unable to take it she started taking steps backwards until she hit the almirah behind her and he stopped in front of her ,she tried to move from his burning gaze and turned towards right but he kept his hands on the almirah,she then tried to look at her left but he kept the other hand again effectively caging her. She looked so small and petite in front of his beasty body which was covering her whole. Now frustrated with all this heavy silence and his stare she finally spoke looking at him in the eyes and asked ,"What the hell are you doing Armaan? What is all this , why are you behaving as if I have taken your favourite white shirt and painted a rainbow coloured unicorn on it. Leave me and let me go." Armaan looked at her and said in a husky and deep voice" If you want to leave , just leave I am not stopping you." She gave him an you are unbelievable look and asked with a straight face ," Why are you doing all this Armaan , Firstly you have been ignoring me all these days and suddenly you are reacting like this. Please stop, I can't take it it's enough." With this she started sniffling in his hold , tears started falling from her beautiful eyes and his heart clenches, he did not like it at all infact he hated these tears. Slowly he took his one hand and wiped the tears with a soft touch and he took her face in his hands and wiped the tears and cupped her face. And told her " Abhira ,look at me please." She looked at him her eyes shining with unshed tears and her face having a painfull look. His heart broke seeing her ever smiling and cheerful face like this ,All because of him.He was angry on himself but he has to make her understand calmly otherwise she wouldn't understand and will again throw a fit and will hurt not only himself but herself also in this process.
So,he gently rubbed her cheeks with his palms producing a calming effect on her , she visibly relaxed and leaned on to his touch.He started explaining as if he is teaching a child." Look Abhira , please try to understand I also don't like to behave like this with you infact I hate myself for this but you know na you are my responsibility, my friend,my partner in crime but most importantly, my wife. It is my duty to keep you safe and sound. I know I have failed terribly at it but please give me another chance. I know you are completely okay at being by yourself but i am not okay if you are not in front of my eyes, My mind is always distracted and thoughts of anything happening to you doesn't let me be calm and relaxed. I also can't focus on my work so please understand accept my request at working in the poddar's firm because then you will be in front of eyes and I don't have to worry about you and I will also try to give you the best mentorship you deserve and make you one of the best and most capable lawyers in the country under my guidance. We definitely make a brilliant team so why not can you work in my firm.. please I want you safe and happy and like the old Abhira ... please accept "
She looked at him and thought that he is right he has already done so much for her and now he is giving her the job in his firm so that she is safe and in front of him. She was only rejecting it because she has thought she can't burden him more with all her responsibility but now seeing how much he was getting affected by it she was overwhelmed with all the feelings, his sense of protectiveness, caring attitude, sense of belonging and guidance made her heart full and she was overwhelmed . So seeing the troubled and pleading man in front of her eyes. She decided to give it a try . So she smiled,held his both hands which were on her face and gave it a gentle and reassuring squeeze,he looked at her as if trying to understand the sudden change in the atmosphere. She looked at him and said," Khadoosmaan, I know I have rejected this offer again and again and troubled you a lot. I am so so sorry .But ,I was only trying to not burden you with anymore stress and responsibilities. But now as you have assured me so beautifully and calmly, i think I am ready for this job. It's a dream come true for me to work under your guidance Khadoosmaan . It's a yes from me .I will intern from your firm.but there is a condition."
He was so happy and overwhelmed he hugged her and laughed like a madman picked her up in his arms and twirled her as if she is a rag doll.He was smiling ear to ear and finally spoke," I am ready for all your conditions, Thank you,Thank you so so much for this ,you don't have any idea what you did for me, Now I can be at peace and relaxed with you in front of me Abhira." She smiled at his happy face and spoke ," people there should not know that I am your wife and I belong to the Poddar family. Otherwise they will not treat me as a normal intern but differently as if I own that place, they will also question my capabilities and talents and talk behind my backs that I got this offer because I am Abhira Armaan Poddar . I want to work normally like an usual intern and be treated equally, you also should treat me like an employee and not your family. Ok ,then I am completely okay with joining your Firm,Khadoosmaan." He smiled but thinking for a moment, he thought that maybe she is right she will treated differently if everyone will know about she being my wife, they will also gossip about her and question her capabilities, he did not want her to become the centre of everyone's judgement and attention so he looked at her with a frown as if going to say no ,she became ready to rebuke but smiled and said ," Ok, Mrs Abhira Armaan Poddar, I promise you ,no one will know about your identity and about your relation to me so be ready for your job at 9 am sharp....Ok Mrs Abira the intern. Now' lets sleep early and you also ...you have to go for a new job tomorrow . Good night, Abhira. She giggled and looked at him with genine respect and admiration and replied back, "Good night, Khadoosmaan."
Finally,this is my first attempt at writing after reading since 5 years . Please be kind as this is my first writing work . I have written before but only on paper and only shown my friends. But now since everybody wanted a jealous Abhimaan and there was not enough stories about it I finally decided to give it a try. I know there was no jealous Abhimaan here, but please wait this was a buildup for the upcoming jealous and possessive Armaan we all want so bad . Please all the senior writers and members of IF who are my inspiration for writing. Please read it and constructive criticism is always welcome.I am very young and my class 12th boards are going on So I don't know when I will upload the next chapter but hopefully very very soon.
Thank you
