5- Let me win your heart

Diya pov

He eyed me a whole minute and walked away towards the elevator without saying anything to me. I followed him taking my luggage slowly as I don't have any energy left inside me, I felt my vision is getting dimmed every passing minute. Should I have to ask anything to him, no Diya he won't hear you even though he heard you properly.

Once we got into the empty elevator he punched the floor number hard making me flinch in my place, why can't he handle things carefully or softly, is he really the person I loved who is cool and loved by everyone? After reaching the 15th floor the elevator stopped and a woman in her mid-thirties and a girl of my age came in smiling at him to which he returned the same, but it genuine smile unlike the one he gave me.

"Hello Mr. Handsome boy" that lady greeted him.

"Hi Aunty" he hugged her winking at that girl who is facing that women's back.

Oh my god is he a playboy?

'Playing with a girl's dignity and saying it as revenge is easy for him, so you don't need to be shocked here Diya', my subconscious yelled me.

"Hello Arjun" she blushed hard. He broke the hug with that woman and gave her a smile which once robbed my heart.

"Hello, beautiful. Long time no see" he flirted with her eyeing me.

I am not in your jealous game Arjun. If your love is true I would have played along with you but now it all seems a waste. I turned away from them as they are ranting among themselves with their fashion etc., etc., which I am least interested.

"Who are you? I have never seen you" that women asked pointing me.

"His..." he cut me, "maid" he completed giving me a hard glare to go with his flow.

"Arjun, just because we had fight doesn't mean you have to say me as your maid" I want to see how far you can go Arjun, I turned to her, "Aunty I am his wife. We got a small fight yesterday that's why he is behaving like this" I said holding his hand.

I won't ever let you win Mr. Arjun. Two can play a game.

"Shut up dammit," he said gritting his teeth in low voice. Not so soon.

"You got married?" both the ladies got shocked hearing me.

"Yes Aunty, Yesterday"

"But aunty don't tell anyone please, I don't want to leak it into the press as we are involved in some threat, I heard that there are some enemies in our building watching us that's why I lied about her but she broke it. I want her safety first. Please" he pleaded her giving a good lie.

That's it Arjun. Let me show what you are trying to do with me and who you are playing.

She pinched his cheek, "how sweet you are Arjun. Don't worry it won't be out, I promise you on behalf of both of us" what a game you are playing Arjun. I really have to appreciate you.

Soon they both went out, It's only both of us. He is looking like a fire omitting dragon with ears and nose red.

"Are you planning to rape someone in the name of revenge?" I asked maintaining a smile on my face.

Soon his gripped my neck hard as I started to struggle to breathe and a tear escaped my eyes and he removed his hand on my neck seeing my tears, Is my Arjun still hiding behind you? I heard a ping sound indicating we reached our floor. He grabbed my hand hard dragging me with him, opening the door he pushed me and closed the door pushing me to that door as my back hit the door harshly.

"Don't you dare say it again. What do you think of yourself?" he yelled at my face.

"Your wife Arjun" he closed his eyes and opened it again looking at me with pure hatred.

"You can never be a part of my family" he yelled again.

"Then why did you marry me? to quench your thirst?" I pushed him hard in anger yet he didn't move an inch.

"I am not your plaything Mr. Arjun Verma"

"Then sign the this and go away from here," he said getting a document from the nearby couch.

"What's it?" I mentally prayed it should not be divorce papers.

"Divorce"

"I am not signing it" I declared moving towards the bedroom which I found on my right side.

"Ok, if you are not signing it, then you have to do what I say" I stopped in my tracks. This is the only change to make him understand our love or make him fall in love with me. Just one chance. It's in your hand Arjun, please make it work for us.

"What?"

"You have to do all the household chores"

"What if I say no?"

"Then you can move out of the house" Calm down diya.

"Okay" I lied smoothly on his face like I am going to agree whatever he is going to say...

"I am still talking Diya" he whisper yelled.

"Continue"

"You have to do all the work here, cook for me but you should not have the food prepared by you" what the hell is this?

"Then are you going to cook for me?"

"Speaking smart. Are we? Ask your father some money and order it from outside"

"Don't you dare speak about my father Mr. Arjun" I lost my calm, how can he drag my father into our mess.

"Get used to this and you have to stay with me in my room I have locked all other rooms" he laughed and went to one room. I would rather stay in the living room than staying in his room with him. I ordered a sandwich and went to his room to take bath ignoring his strong gaze.

After a quick shower, I went out and saw him sitting on the couch watching TV happily in his vest and a track pants. I applied a bhindi ignoring the sindhoor in my hair partition and sat on the same couch which is he sitting but far away from him even though my heart desires to be close with him, heart is stupid right always ignoring what brain is saying and suffering at the end but with him both my heart and brain failed in understanding him now my brain is waking up from the good dream I had these years.

I heard the doorbell ringing before I could go he went and opened the door.

"Miss Diya?" I heard a man voice.

"She is my maid, give it to me" how dare he? never missing any situation to insult me. Once he came in I shouted at him, "How dare you keep on telling me as your maid?"

"Aren't you?" his eyes are glued on the parcel in his hand, "anyway what had you ordered?"

"No. I am not your maid but your wife doing duties for her husband second, it's for me not for you" I tried to grab it but he is too quick and turned the other side opening the parcel taking a sandwich out.

"Arjun give it to me, order for yourself" I shouted out of frustration and hunger not is making anything less.

"As you seem hungry I will give you one piece" he placed a single piece that too small piece on the tissue paper. I know the way to irritate you Arjun.

"You are eating my father's money," I said calmly quite loud for him to hear. Before I could complete the sentence the sandwich box is in the ground.

"Go and cook for me" ignoring him I took the sandwich he gave me as I was about to take a bite he grabbed it and throw it on the floor.

"Now cook" he ordered me with a death glare.

"I am not going to until I have my food" I sat on the couch.

"Fuck" he took his mobile and did something, "now cook"

"After having food" I took the remote and started changing channels. He stormed to his room banging the door hard making me laugh hard.

"Don't laugh you stupid" he shouted from inside.

He can't tolerate his hunger issues so I went to the kitchen and saw some instant noodles which is the only thing he had and cooked it meanwhile he came out of his room and opened the door to get the parcel(which I assumed). I closed the bowl of noodles and went to the living room.

He is standing there angrily keeping the pizza on the table looking at me more like glaring me with his question about his food let him stand there for few minutes so I took the box and saw it is fish gravy with chapatti both are the food I hate most, using my weakness Mr. Arjun? I took the chapatti and ate it along with fish and started to have it eyeing at him from the corner of my eyes who stood with an angry look.

Even it sucks I have to do it for myself to win against him.

"Finish it fast and cook for me" I stayed silent. You should have listened to me when I have been telling you to learn to cook for years Arjun. Even calling him Arjun sounds strange to me when I always call him Arju.

"Just tell me dammit" he is crossing his lines of patience.

"I had already done it" he throws me an angry glare and went to the kitchen. A few minutes later he came out drinking water and went directly to his room. Before he could close the door I have to take a pillow and blanket so I ran in quickly as he gave me a confusing look stopped using his mobile.

"Pillows and Blanket," I said and went in.

"Where are you going?" he asked keeping his mobile aside.

"Away from you"

"Where Miss Diya?" he laughed thinking me as a calm person.

"You can use this bed," he said moving a little showing the remaining space of his king-sized bed.

"Why? So that you can use me again and give me money?" I felt disgusted for saying these but every time thinking about it kills me alive. I saw his hands formed into fists and eyes burning like fire.

"Why are you getting angry Mr. Arjun, I am not saying something which you never did or said" he came in front of me within the snap of seconds gripping my wrist harder as I controlled my tears.

"Don't you ever speak like that about me, think before you speak" his hot breath collided on my forehead due to our closeness.

"I will Arjun. Have you ever thought about me before speaking like that and throwing money on my face by using me like a prostitute? I thought you made love to me Arjun but it is just a one night stand sorry it's Fuck for you right?" now my tears started to flow on its own seeing the blank look in those pitch-black eyes.

But still, I will try Arjun.

I pushed him away and took a pillow and went out as he shut the door hard I can hear shattering noises from his room but dismissed it, If I go there I will definitely melt in front of him.

Let me win your heart Arjun.
