44. Jealousy

SHREYA'S POV

It is been one week here and my mind has got roasted completely. He took me to my parent's house once for 2 hours but didn't let me live there. He was with me all the time.

Urghhhhh

I cannot stay in this house one more day. Although masi is very sweet by nature but she is reluctant in giving answers to all my questions. She never tells me anything about him. But one thing is clear that she loves and cares for him like her own child.

I came up with a plan and included masi in that too.

He finished his breakfast and stood up to leave for the office.

"Ok, masi I am leaving too," I said loud enough to make him hear.

"Where are you going?" He asked

"For an interview,"

"Interview?" He asked

"Yes, as you are not allowing me to join the company. I have searched for a new job and you cannot resist me because I am now free from that contract too" I said with a smile.

"No, you will not go anywhere without me," He said

"Ok, then let me join your company again"

"I said something, and that's final. You will not go anywhere. Guard will not let you go out" he said in an assertive tone and started to leave.

"I said something too, I am going for this interview. No one can resist me. I am an independent citizen of an independent country. And if the guard would not let me out then I will jump out of the window" I said blocking his way

"I will lock the windows," he said folding his hands.

"I will jump from the terrace," I said putting my hands on my waist.

"Youuuu....." He pointed a finger on me

"Yes, meeeeee....." I folded his finger.

"Ok, just go and change your clothes. You will not wear a sari or suit there. You have only 10 minutes" He said

"Ok" I became very happy and literally ran to our room winking on masi and giving her virtual high five on the way.

I got ready on time but I want to tease him a little for caging me.

"Shreya, do fast" he called

"Just 5 more minutes" I replied sitting on the bed

"Shreyaaaa....." he called again after 5 minutes

"5 minutes" I replied

"Shreya"

"Fivee...." I looked at the door he was standing there crossing his hands and with one eyebrow up.

I smiled sheepishly.

"Haha...I got tired, you know" I said giving him my best smile.

"You can have a rest for the day. I don't have a problem" he started to leave.

"Wait, NO, I am coming" I ran behind him

A few days later

I am getting ready for the b' day party of Prem's son Aditya. He is turning 2 today.

I selected a dress and put it on the bed and went to take a bath while Mr. Kukkad was getting ready.

(Dress selected by Shreya.)

He was not in the room when I came out. I always do makeup first and then go for wearing the dress. Don't question, it is my style of getting ready.

I was done with my makeup and move towards the bed to take up the dress but to my surprise, there was a different dress lying there with a note on it.

'Wear this'

(Dress selected by Atharva)

No, I will not wear it. I am going to a birthday party, not in a marriage function. Plus I am not going to wear a dress of his choice.

NEVER!

I moved towards the closet and tries to open it but it didn't move. A note was stick on it with a winking emoji.

'Don't waste your time opening it. It is locked. Just wear that dress'

Urghh...

I was left with no option other than wearing it. It took me whole 10 minutes in knotting the string of the blouse at the back. It was still loose but I thought it to be tight enough that it can stay as it is for a few hours.

My hair was stinging me in the back so I made a bun with the help of a bun stick and I was ready. I stepped down after wearing heels.

Atharva's POV

I still remember that when I saw her for the first time in that club she was in a red-colored dress. And she was looking so beautiful that I was not able to restrain myself from stealing glances.

So I wanted to see her in red once again. I chose a dress that I thought would look perfect on her and replaced it with her selected dress. And I know butterfly that she is so stubborn, she will not wear my selected dress and will try to change it, so I locked the closet.

I heard the sound of heels clicking and I looked to found her stepping down from the stairs in the same dress that I selected for her.

She always carries herself gracefully. She is looking like an angel who has taken birth just for me. I think I have to take extra care of her today.

"Will you move or just stand here with an open mouth? Are you not getting late now?" She asked

I roamed my hands in my hair while looking down. She caught me staring at her!

What I was doing? Again started to act like a teenager.

"You are looking beautiful today"

"I look beautiful every day," she said giving me attitude. Can she ever thank me and take the compliment positively?

"Indeed!"

She moved ahead and her bareback came to my view. No, she is not going like this there.

I moved a step, flipped her from her wrist, and pulled her to my chest.

"What are you doing?" She asked with a furious face.

Oh! So cute.

"I told you to always keep them open. Now, it is just Perfect!" I said while pulling out the stick from her bun, letting her hair roll down her waist.

"Give me that stick back"

She jumped to snatch that from my hand and I stretched my hand further up. She was looking like a crazy ball, jumping up and down. Haha

"Don't waste more time" I said and put that stick in my pocket and kissed her forehead.

She moved her hand up to wipe it and I moved one of my eyebrows up so she decided against it.

I chuckled and let her to the garage.

She was silent for the whole journey. I put a hand on her waist when we were entering Prem's house. She moved away from me a little but I pulled her my side.

"Behave" I whispered in her ears.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

SHREYA'S POV

As we entered, Prem with his wife and little munchkin welcomed us. They were looking so cute together just like a perfect family.

I shook my hand with Prem's wife. Her name is Anupriya. She is very beautiful and sweet by nature.

Prem extended his hand for a handshake. I was about to extend my hand too but he looked at Mr. Kukkad and took his hand back and said "Hi".

I pinched the chubby cheeks of Munchkin and gave him his gift.

"Are you Pari (fairy)?" He asked

"What?" I smiled.

"I asked daddy to bring fairy for me and he told me that athu has brought one for me. Are you that pari?" I laughed at the name given by him to Mr. Kukkad.

"Athu" ...Haha...Perfect name. Even the kid knows the reality of this man.

"Don't laugh or I will tell him how bad this fairy is. She can make him eat green chilies for no reason." Mr. Kukkad whispered in my ears and I elbowed him.

"Yes, she is that pari," Prem said pointing to me.

He jumped to me from his father's lap and kissed my cheek and I kissed him back. My so-called husband started to throw glare at us.

But in the process of catching munchkin, I felt like the strings of my blouse has loosened up. Thank God! He opened my hair. I got saved from getting embarrassed in public.

I excused myself and went to one of the rooms and tried to tie the knot. But all of my attempts were going into vain.

After a minute I felt fingers on my back. I got scared and jumped a little.

"Mai hu (This is me)" Mr. Kukkad put his palm on my back to calm me down.

I got relieved after listening to his voice. But how he gets in?

Oh ho! The stupid me. I left the door open.

He tied the knot and in the process touched my back with his fingers knowingly. I was getting chills in my spine.

After he was done he flipped me.

"Thank you," I said and moved to get out of the room but be caged me by putting his arms on the wall.

"Sirf thank you se kaam nahi chalega (Only thank you would not work)" he said

"Hmm?"

"I want a reward," he said

"What reward?"

"The same thing that you was giving to that kid," he said

I knitted my eyebrows

"A kiss," he said coming dangerously close to me.

"No" I pushed him a little but he didn't budge.

He caressed my neck with the pad of his thumb, folding his lightly fingers around my nape. I shuddered and felt something weird in my stomach.

"I have helped you so I deserve it" he said

"N..n...no" offo why I am stuttering?

"If you don't give me then I will snatch it. I never leave a single thing that is mine" he said and moved his face further.

Am I even trying to push him or I have just put my hands on his chest?

I got frozen in my place with thousands of butterflies flying in my stomach. Our lips were about to touch when we heard a sweet voice.

"Pari" little munchkin entered the room. He too forgot to close the door.

He groaned and I chuckled. His expressions were like somebody has snatched his favorite ice cream from him.

"Where were you? I was searching for you to show my gifts" he said while pulling my skirt.

I took him in my arms. He is very intelligent to his age and a little heavy too.

"Your athu uncle is not letting me go," I said to him

Mr. Kukkad was throwing glares on him.

"Your pari is busy, go out she will come in a minute," he said to the kid

"No," Aditya said and sticks to me, holding me tight like a monkey. And hides his face in the crook of my neck.

"Ask him to move his face from there" Mr. Kukkad ordered.

"Are you serious? He is a kid" I said

'But his activities are not like a kid' he muttered but I heard because he was standing too close to me.

"Ok, if he is a kid then let us continue what we were doing," he said and started to come close to me.

Before I could say anything munchkin punched on the nose of Mr. Kukkad with his little fist.

I was not able to control myself and burst into laughter.

"You...." The big kid screamed and little kid hides his face again in the crook of my neck.

"Don't you dare to scare the child" I said patting munchkin.

Aditya pointed towards the door asking me to move out.

I moved towards the exit with him in my arms.

"You are now under the debt of a kiss and I will take it anyhow and that too with interest," Mr. Kukkad said from the back.

I left the room ignoring him and making him follow me.

But I didn't get one thing Why his touch and proximity are affecting me the way they should not?
