Ayesha's pov

.

I sucked in a sharp breath trying to calm my racing heart.

"I want you to marry someone else and divorce me" my own words rang in my ears and it shook my world.

No no no.. he can't do it, he can never do it with me

But then what else can I think of seeing him coming after a month, that too walking in hand in hand with a girl.

Momentarily the world stopped spinning, their happy faces looked venom dipped, I couldn't look at them for long. I took a step back.

Has he been with her all this while?

I came out of my thoughts when I heard a loud shriek.

"Emmaaa" Hayat shouted and ran past me to that girl. Does she know her?

"Oh my God! Hayat" the girl hugged her lovingly.

"What a pleasant surprise!" Hayat said looking at her in disbelief

"Surprise?" The girl frowned and then looked at Mr khan, "you did not tell anyone?" She hit his arm, I clenched my fist. He just shrugged

"I will deal with you later." she narrowed her eyes at him, my heart burnt looking at her frankness towards him

"Are you going to meet us also or keep fighting with Athar?" Dadi asked the girl, she grinned ear to ear looking at her.

I did not like how dadi opened her arms wide for her, she met dadi so lovingly, then she hugged maa.

Yeh hai kaun (Who is she?)

I turned to look at Mr khan, his gaze was stuck at that witch, some strange feeling clutched my heart.

Is he really the same guy who was ready to do anything to prove his love for me, look at him now.

"Come meet Athar's wife" dadi made her stand in front of me, "this is Ayesha, and beta, this is Emma, Athar's friend" dadi introduced us finally.

"Hi" she extended her hand in front of me, half heartedly I shook hands with her.

She gasped looking behind me.

"Heyyy! You are Reem, right?" She said excitedly.

"Yeah!!" Reem smiled, Emma enthusiastically hugged her

"I have seen your pictures, you are definitely more pretty in person, Izhaan is so lucky." She pinched Reem's cheek, "where is he by the way?" She looked around

"He is busy with some work" Reem replied

"Work?" She rolled her eyes, "this is so bad Athar, why you didn't tell everyone that I'm coming?" She hit her shoulder against Mr Khan's.

Goddd!! This girl is so painful in the eyes

"Come beta I will get dinner served" dadi said to Mr Khan, he glared at Emma, she laughed sheepishly

"Dadi this girl has made me roam around Delhi in a few hours. We had dinner also" he replied, I frowned at him

"You were with her?" Dadi asked Mr khan.

"Yes dadi, my flight landed at Delhi airport at 2 o'clock, Athar was already there to receive me, we were together since then" she said leaning on Mr Khan.

I glared at him angrily, so while I was waiting for him to return home he was busy having a gala time with her.

She was standing too close to Mr Khan and nobody seemed to mind it. I couldn't watch it anymore, so I left.

I learnt that the girl is Emma, Mr Khan's University friend, she has come to stay in our house for a while from London.

I did not like her closeness with the family.

I came to my room, I looked at myself in the mirror, what was the point of dressing up so much. I angrily took off my earrings and threw them on the table. I wiped off my lipstick and threw my dupatta away. I tied my open hair in a messy bun.

The door opened and Mr Khan entered, I immediately got up and showed myself as super busy.

I picked up my dupatta and put on my shoulder, Mr Khan stood next to me

"Assalamualaikum" he said

"Walekumassalam" I said without looking at him.

"How are you?" He asked

So now he cares!

How do you expect me to be? You are returning after a month and instead of coming home to your family you went out with that annoying human.

"Fine" I answered

"Ummm Ayesha!!" He said stepping closer to me, hearing my name from his mouth softened my heart

His scribbling came to my head. My heart started beating differently, suddenly I wanted to talk to him.

"Yes Mr Khan" I said softly, he stared deep in my eyes. He took another step towards me.

I was looking at him after so long, his beard grown, he was looking even more matured, his round eyes were filled with so many emotions.

"I mis.." he was cut off by an annoying voice.

"Atharrrrr" Emma shouted and barged in our room, so ill mannered. I thought Britishers are full of etiquette

Mr khan totally pulled back and took away all of his attention to her. I narrowed my eyes at him

"Emma, you met Ayesha?" He said, she looked at me, I could see it in her eyes how uninterested she was to talk to me

Even I am not interested in you, you annoying woman.

"Yeah!" She gave me a small smile, then held Mr Khan's hand, "Athar! Show me my room" she said to him

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't show it to you earlier, I will ask Hayat right now" he was about to walk away, but she came closer to him

"No not Hayat. You will take me to my room" she said while tapping her finger on his chest.

"Ok ok let's go" he said and then they both left.

I stared at their disappearing back.

How could he just go with her just like that!

"Aaahh" I groaned in annoyance

I went into the closet to change my dress. When I returned to the room Mr Khan was already there, he came to me.

"I was saying..." He was saying something but I was so irritated with the fact that he left with her that I didn't feel like to him.

"How was the project?" I just asked, he looked at me for a few seconds as if he couldn't believe that I was asking regarding work

"Good" he replied, he kept his gaze on me, I started to feel awkward under his gaze, he opened his mouth to speak but just then, there was a knock on the door, I rolled my eyes

Mr khan went to answer the door. Emma was standing there with a huge irritating smile on her face.

"Yes?" Mr khan asked.

"I need water" she said and I looked at her in disgust.

Ab paani bhi kya yeh Mr Khan k haath se piyegi (is she now going to have water from Mr Khan's)

"Oh sorry. I will order right away" he said and then they both went out leaving me shocked

I angrily got busy in preparing the bed. Does this lady have no manner? Why is she coming to our room again and again?

I sat on the chair and started watching nothing particular on my phone. After a while Mr Khan returned, I could feel him looking at me, but I kept my gaze on my phone.

"Actually Emma only drinks bottled water, so I had to order a few bottles for her" he said

Haan bahar Jake hi order ho sakta tha na, room mei to jese app hi nhi chalti (yeah right, as if the app wasn't working in the room, he had to go out).

"I faced a few hurdles in the project, it was difficult to understand Stephen's point of view, he was not liking anything" he was explaining things, my interest developed, I put my phone down and started listening to him.

I was listening to him with complete interest. My mood spoiled badly when there was yet another knock, I glared at him. He got up to answer the door.

"Now what?" He asked

"There is no extra pillow my room!" She pouted, I rolled my eyes. "Can I take one from your room?" She asked

"Sure" Mr Khan smiled, and motioned her to come inside, I was literally burning with anger.

"Give me your pillow, keeping it with me will make me feel like you are there with me" she said shamelessly and my mouth dropped open, but Mr Khan just laughed

"Yeah right" he said, she giggled

"I'm serious Athar, don't you miss our sleepovers? I miss them all the time" she said and I lost it, this woman really pissed me off.

"Why don't you just go with her Mr Khan?" I said sarcastically, he looked at me, "can't you see how much she is missing sleepovers with you" I dipped every word in venom

"Nice idea" Emma said excitedly, "let's go Athar" she held his hand and dragged him out of the room with him, my jaw fell on the floor

"What the Ffffffff...." I got extremely mad at the moment. To hell with both of them.

I switched off the lights and laid on the bed to sleep. I closed my eyes but sleep was far from them. After a while of tossing and turning, I got up from the bed and began pacing in the room

I can't believe he actually went with her, and why is he not returning to the room now.

After almost half an hour the door opened, I quickly laid on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

"Ayesha?" He said, but I stayed unmoved.

Stupid!!!

I heard him sigh, I opened my eyes in slit to see what he was doing. He went into the closet. In a few minutes he returned and laid on the bed next to me.

I kept my back at him. I was cursing that Emma, and didn't realise when I fell asleep.

Izhaan's pov

.

I was patting Reem's head while she was sleeping in my arms. My mind was clouded with many thoughts, when my phone began vibrating, carefully I got up, I checked the caller then looked back at Reem, she was fast asleep.

Slowly I made my way out of the room. I came straight to the living room to answer the phone

"Hello" I said

"I'm sorry I called you so late at night"

I sighed hearing the tensed voice.

"I told you to stop worrying, I will take care of everything" I said

"Izhaan mai apko pareshan nahi karna chahti, par mai kya

Karu (Izhaan I don't want to trouble you, but I'm helpless)" "Nahi karna chahti phir bhi kar rahi ho (you don't want to trouble me still you are troubling me)" I said, "maine kaha na, mai hun tumhare saath (I told you, I am with you)"

I heard loud voices, someone was coming.

"Listen I have to hang up, someone is coming" I said and quickly disconnected the call.

"Izhaan!" I turned around at the voice, Emma and Athar were there

"Hey" I smiled

"Buddy! Who were you talking to so late at night?" Athar asked

"It was Adarsh, he was telling me about the meeting I have tomorrow"

"So why were you talking here?" He asked narrowing his eyes at me

"Oh come on Athar stop interrogating him" Emma said

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them

"We were just remembering old times" Emma replied. I smiled, "come you also sit with us" she held my hand and made me sit on the sofa

"Reem is asleep?" Athar asked, I nodded.

"She is so pretty Izhaan! I am so happy for you" she complimented Reem, I just nodded

The three of us were recalling the time when we used to have night outs with all of our friends, Emma was Athar's classmate also so they used to spend a lot of time together.

Hardly ten minutes passed when Emma started yawning.

"Guys I'm so sleepy. I'm going to my room now" she said.

"Ok" Athar said, she gave a quick hug to the both of us and then left while mumbling good night to us.

"She has not changed at all" Athar said the moment Emma left.

"Forget about her, you tell me. How are you?" I asked

He told me about his trip briefly. He looked upset, so I asked him.

"What's bothering you?"

He let out a sarcastic chuckle

"You know when I was in New York. I was thinking that I will not talk to Ayesha, I promised myself that I will stay strong in front of her. I will not fall weak, but just one look at her and I forgot everything." He said looking down

"You must have missed her" I said

"Badly! When I returned all I wanted was to hold her and tell her how much I have missed her."

"So why didn't you?"

"What has changed between us? You know when I came back and saw her, she looked so beautiful, she was even wearing my favourite colour, normally Ayesha doesn't wear fancy clothes at home, but today when I saw her for a moment I thought she got ready for me, I couldn't take my eyes off her."

"Maybe she actually got ready for you"

"Yeah right! I was gawking at her, but she did not even look at me once, she just left from there, my presence does not even affect her. Even after so many promises to myself I still went after her and tried talking to her, but she couldn't stop showing attitude to me."

He took a pause to take a deep breath

"There's nothing I can ever do to make her realise my love for her, so it is better to leave her on her own" he said hopelessly, I rolled my eyes

"You know I thought Ayesha was stupid, but now I have started to believe that you are more stupid, instead of making her understand, you are talking like a defeated Romeo, and by the way you should be with Ayesha at this time, what were you doing with Emma? She must be feeling so bad"

"Bad? Yeah right, she is the one who sent me with Emma." He scoffed

"She sent,and you came? Go back to your room, she must be waiting for you"

"You are talking as if she would be pacing around the room right now, I'm sure she must have fallen asleep by now."

"Stop being so hopeless buddy"

"I'm just seeing the truth now"

"I told you I have a plan"

"And I also told you that I'm done with planning. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now"

"Yeah! You should go and rest" I said, he nodded and left.

I turned around to make sure that he wasn't there, I took out my phone and dialled the number

"Hello" the call was immediately answered

"Are you ok?" I asked.

"I don't know if I am" she sighed

"Just trust me and forget everything else. I am with you"

"I'm scared"

"Don't be. Let's meet tomorrow, I will pick you up in the morning, we will talk"

"Ok"

"Now relax and go to sleep" after bidding bye, I cut the call. I got up and turned around, I froze on my spot when I saw Reem standing there.

.

Reem's POV

.

I woke up feeling uncomfortable, I raised my hand to feel Izhaan, but he wasn't there. I got up and looked around in the room. It was so dark, I quickly switched on the lights, but Izhaan wasn't there

"Izhaan" I called, but no answer. Maybe he had gone to the washroom, I waited for him to return, after around ten minutes passed I gave up waiting and got up, I walked towards the bathroom, but he wasn't there.

"Izhaan" I called again, but no answer.

Where did he go?

I came out of the room and looked around for him, I saw him sitting in the living room from afar, I checked the time it was almost 2 o'clock, he was talking on the phone. who is he talking to?

I descended the stairs and walked to him, his back was at me.

"Go to sleep" he was saying over the phone, I frowned

Why is he sitting here and talking on the phone? That too at this time

He got up and turned around, his face paled when he saw me, but he quickly became normal "Jaan! What are you doing here?" He came smiling towards me

"Who were you talking to?" I asked, he frowned

"No one!!" He shook his head, I raised my eyebrows at him

"I just heard you talking on the phone"

"Must have been your imagination, you have just woken up from your sleep. I was not talking to anyone, I came here to drink water, but then just felt like sitting here for a while" I looked at him with unsurity

Was it really my imagination?

My frown deepened when I tried to think hard. I'm definitely seeing this, Izhaan can never lie to me..

"Don't overthink my love" he held my arms and pulled me closer to him. I let out a small smile at him, then I heaved a tired sigh, "tired?" He asked, I nodded, he smiled and picked me up in his arms, I gasped

"Izhaan! What are you doing?" I asked looking around

"I'm taking you to our room" he shrugged

"Utaro mujhe neeche, koi dekh lega hume (put me down, someone will see us)"

"Tum mat socho kisi aur k bare mei, maine kaha na tum sirf apne aur mere bachhe ki fikr karo (don't think about anyone else, I told you to only worry about yourself and my child)" he said while carrying me

His love and care towards me made me smile widely, I put my arms over his neck and put my head on his chest. It feels so safe with him.

He brought me to our room and put me on the bed. He switched off the lights and laid beside me. I quickly put my head on his arm, and put his hand on my head, he started tapping it lightly. I felt relaxed and closed my eyes, soon I fell asleep.

******

"Izhaan please" I requested

"I said no" he shook his head while putting gel in his hair.

"For me" I gave him puppy eyes. He sighed and looked at me "Try to understand Reem! I have an important meeting" he said

He was getting ready to leave for work, but I don't know why I wanted him to not leave and just stay with me. I was convincing him to stay at home today, but he was not listening to me.

"Is it more important than me?" I asked

He tapped on my cheek and gave a kiss on my forehead.

"I'll see you tonight" he said and left.

I felt so bad, he didn't listen to me, he didn't stay for me. He left me.

I dropped on the bed and began crying. How could he just leave me, am I not important enough for him?

After a short while I got up and went outside my room and went to Ayesha's, I knocked on the door.

"Come in" Ayesha's voice said, I opened the door, and went inside, Ayesha was keeping some papers in a bag.

"Reem" she stopped when she saw my red swollen eyes. I hugged her, "what happened baby?" She asked, I began sobbing

"Izhaan doesn't love me. He left me." I cried

"Reem! Is everything ok?" Athar Bhai asked

Has he been here all this while? How come I didn't see him earlier?

"Left you? What do you mean?" Ayesha asked

"I told him to stay at home, but he left saying he has an important meeting" I wiped my tears, Ayesha sighed, while Athar Bhai smiled, God knows why

"Silly girl! You got me scared for a moment" Ayesha said

"How can you call me silly? Nobody loves me" Fresh tears appeared in my eyes

"Ok ok! Now don't start crying." She said quickly

"But you are also leaving" I said pointing at her bag

"I will not go anywhere! I'm here for you" she said

"Really?" I asked with a huge grin, she nodded

"Ummm I'll leave then" Athar Bhai said, I looked at him, I felt bad for separating him with Ayesha, "bye Ayesha! And take care Reem" he said and left the room, my smile dropped

"What happened to you now?" She asked

"I'm sorry yaar! I came in between you and him, It was so evident that he wanted to go to the office with you, but I made you stay back with me" I felt sad

"Don't be ridiculous"

"Sometimes I act so stupid. You guys must have missed each other so much, and now when h..." I said

"Shut up Reem! I'm here for you and now stop talking about him"

"But Ayesha...."

"Do you want to have a grilled cheese sandwich?" She asked, and I forgot about everything else just remembered cheese melting in my mouth, I nodded vigorously, she grinned

"Then let's go and make it" she said and we both went towards the kitchen.

She quickly got to work while I sat on the counter and just talked to her. We were discussing random things. Soon the sandwich was ready, and Ayesha served it for me. I took a bite, my eyes closed at the heavenly taste.

"Yummm" I licked my lips, Ayesha chuckled

"You make the second best sandwich in the world" I said

"I know because the best sandwiches are only available in your University's cafeteria"

"Right" I said enthusiastically, suddenly I remembered about my university and my friends, and Hussain. I turned serious

"You know you will have to talk to him one day, you cannot avoid him forever" Ayesha said quickly understanding the reason behind my long face.

I have been avoiding confrontation with Hussain, I just don't feel ready for it.

To avoid this topic, I started talking about other things.

"How did you like Emma?" I asked

"Not really paid attention to her" she said.

"I liked her, she is such a nice and loving girl, and she is so pretty." I said genuinely

"Whatever" Ayesha just shrugged

"Make a sandwich for her also, she'll love it" I said and Ayesha slammed the plate on the counter and glared at me

"Tu pagal ho gayi hai, us Emma k liye sandwiches kyun banaungi mai (have you gone crazy? Why will I make sandwiches for that Emma?)

"I was just saying" I shrugged

"Why? Has she become your bestie in one night?" She scoffed,"you are Reem! I have seen your pictures, you are definitely more pretty in person" she mimicked Emma, I burst into laughter

"Zyada hasi to mooh tod dungi tera (I will break your face if you laugh so much)" she shouted at me

"Awwww! So cute" I held her chin, "my gabbar is jealous?" I hugged her, she tried pushing me away

"Go to your Emma and leave me alone" she said

"Who Emma? There can only be Ayesha for Reem" I wiggled my eyebrows at her, she smiled looking at me.

"Such a drama you are" she said

"Jokes aside, I love you so much Ayesha, you are my true soulmate" I said getting emotional, she wrapped her arms around me.

"I love you too baby"

"Let's go shopping! It's been a while" I said suddenly getting excited, I pulled back

"My god Reem! Your mood swings are too much to handle" she shook her head, I pouted

"Before you start crying let's go" she held my hand and we left from there.

We went to a mall, and did a ton of shopping, it was so much for the both of us. We even went to watch a movie.

"I don't think these clothes will fit me in a few months " I said looking at the shopping bags.

"The way you are eating I don't think they are going to fit you even tomorrow" she joked, I pretended to be offended, but then I also laughed

"So mean" I hit her arm, she was laughing.

We both were talking and laughing, but all of a sudden her mood changed, she looked disturbed.

"What happened?" I asked

"I'm tired, I just want to go home" she just insisted on going home, at first I thought she was hiding something, but then I realised I really have drained her out.

Without interrogating her further, we just headed home.

After returning home I showed all of my shopping to dadi, she loved it.

Since I have had so much food already I refused to have dinner and went to my room to rest, Izhaan returned from the office, but I was avoiding talking to him.

I was lying down on my bed and watching a movie, it was an emotional movie in which both the protagonists had a deadly disease, They met at some support group and there they fell in love, it was shown how they bonded over the same hobby, sadly the guy died first.

I was lost in the film, suddenly the phone was snatched away from my hand, I looked up and found Izhaan glaring at me.

"Rehem kar lo mere bacche pe kuch (have mercy on my child)" he said while keeping my phone on the side table and switching off the light

"Give my phone back to me" I said getting angry, I felt a salty taste in my mouth as I spoke, it made me realise that my cheeks were soaked with tears.

"You shouldn't be watching such a depressing thing, it will affect your health." He said while lying down next to me.

He is right! I feel horrible about the poor girl.

I scooted closer to him and put his hand on my head, he started stroking my hair, it felt so soothing, my eyes closed and I succumbed to sleep.

.

Athar's POV

.

I heaved a sigh when we entered the house. It was a long day and I was feeling tired, I just wanted to sleep.

I was looking forward to spend some time with Ayesha, but since Reem needed her, I went to the office alone.

So much work has been piled up in my absence, thank god Ayesha took care of a few things otherwise I would have drowned in work.

Around 4 o'clock Emma called and insisted on coming to the office, so I sent the driver to pick her up from home.

Emma was a brilliant student and right now she is working in a well established company as senior architect, and honestly she's great in her work, in fact her presence in the office was kinda blessing, she helped me.

While sorting out work I lost track of time, by the time I realised it, almost all of the staff was gone, Emma and I quickly left for home.

The moment we sat in the car Emma insisted on having coffee, so I took her to the nearest mall, I thought we'll just take it away but she was adamant of having it there only. As soon as the coffee finished, we headed home.

The moment I entered the house my eyes started wandering to find Ayesha.

"Oh hello! Are you even listening to me?" Emma snapped her fingers in front of me to grab my attention

"What?" I asked rolling my eyes

"How rude!" She huffed

"You know you talk non stop" I shook my head

"I know! And you are so lucky I'm blessing your ears with my sweet angelic voice" she said looking too proud of herself.

"Yeah right" I chuckled

"Athar!" Dadi called me as we walked in the living room. The whole family was there, my eyes stopped at Ayesha.

"Assalamualaikum" I said to everyone

"Where were you?" Dadi asked while everyone else answered to my greeting

"We are coming from the office" Emma answered before I could speak

"Office?" Maa asked

"I just went to help Athar, he had so much work, we spent the whole day in the office, we left when we were dead tired and came straight to home" she said

"Straight?" Ayesha asked

"Yeah" Emma shrugged

Why is she lying?

Ayesha looked at me, there was an emotion in her eyes which I couldn't decipher, but somehow it made me feel guilty, I looked away.

"My poor kids must be very tired, go freshen up dinner will be served shortly" maa said, I nodded and went to my room.

I came to the room and laid straight on the bed, I was too tired to even move, my wallet was bothering me, so I emptied my pockets and kept all the stuff on the bed. I stayed in the position for a while then got up.

I quickly took a bath and changed into my night suit and went downstairs. By the time I reached everyone was already there, I quickly sat on my seat. I looked at Ayesha, she looked disturbed, I wondered how her day went.

"Where's Reem?" I asked noticing her absence

"She has gone to rest" Izhaan replied

"Dinner?" I asked

"She said she had too much food at the mall" he answered

"Mall?" I asked looking at Ayesha, but hayat answered.

I got to know that Ayesha and Reem spent the whole day at the mall. I looked at Ayesha in fear when I got to know that she was at the same mall where I went with Emma. She was looking at me so weirdly, I cleared my throat and just concentrated on the food.

I hope she did not see me there, I glared at Emma, why did she have to lie? If I tell the truth now it will put us in an awkward situation.

After the dinner dada ji and Izhaan went to the study room, I got up with the intention of joining them, but dadi stopped me.

"Yes dadi" I said

"Come in the room with me" she said and walked towards her room, I quietly followed her.

"Are you out of your mind?" She said angrily the moment we were in her room

"Huh?" I frowned

"What were you doing with Emma all day?" She asked, and I was looking at her trying to understand why she was getting so mad at me.

"Here I am trying to make things normal between you and Ayesha and you are complicating things yourself?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, she smacked her forehead

"Are you really that dumb?" She narrowed her eyes at me

"What have I done?"

"Are you really asking me that? At first you went for that trip at such a short notice, then you returned after a month, and even then instead of coming straight to your wife, you went straight to the office and from there you left to pick up your friend and stayed with her all day, and as if that was not enough, today also you spent the entire day with her" she sounded extremely angry, I chose to stay quiet

"Is this the way to behave with some other girl in front of your wife? She couldn't keep her hands off you, have you no shame left that you are letting this happen?"

"Please dadi! You know Emma is my best friend, we have known each other for years. She's not a bad girl, and she was equally friendly with Izhaan also" I defended

"Yeah! She was, but she was equally friendly with his wife also, but didn't you notice how rude she was with your wife. Are you not going to speak up for her?"

What!! Emma was rude to Ayesha? When?

"That isn't true" I said

"Just shut up Athar! Your priority should be Ayesha, make sure she doesn't feel bad because of Emma"

Yeah right! Doesn't feel bad. She literally thrown me out of the room to be with her last night, but how can I make dadi understand this.

"Ayesha is more dear to me than you, Athar. I will not tolerate if you hurt her" she warned me

I felt happy seeing dadi so affectionate towards Ayesha, so I just nodded.

"And one more thing, take Ayesha to the office with you if there's a lot of work there" she ordered

"Ok"

"Go now" She dismissed me, I left the room quickly and came to mine.

Ayesha was sitting on the chair and was watching in her phone, I thought about what dadi said.

Ayesha will never be affected by Emma. Why would she be?

I sat on the chair next to her, I was looking at her, but she kept her gaze on her phone. I cleared my throat to gain her attention, it worked

"Dadi said that you should come to the office with me from tomorrow" I said, she gave me a curt nod

What should I talk to her? What is there between us!

I slouched on the chair.

"Oh God! It was a long day today, I did so much work, I didn't even get time to catch a breath" I spoke to tell her about my day, but stopped when she stood up abruptly.

She went towards the bed, picked up something and returned to me. She held my hand and put something on my palm

"Yeah! No time at all" she said and walked back to the bed, she laid down and covered herself completely with the blanket. I opened my palm to see what it was

"Damn it!"

It was the coffee bill which I bought in the mall. That means she knows that I was there with Emma, still she did not demand any explanation? I scoffed

It shows clearly how affected she is, someone please go and tell dadi.

I crushed the bill and tossed it away. I got up and switched off the lights and went to the bed and laid on my side. I was so tired that I dozed off immediately.
