Priya Arora

We just got in his room or should i say our room now.

" You can take the couch if you want because i don't have any intentions of sharing my bed" He said and headed straight to the closet but i stopped him by holding his wrist and then he turned around and arched an brow.

"How can you expect me to sleep on the couch? This room is as much as mine as it is yours. So i won't sleep on the couch. If you have a problem you can go sleep on the couch." I said and shrugged and went towards my bag.

"Oh! I see not even hours of getting married and you've already started throwing tantrums huh!" He yelled from behind.

I just ignored him and went with my clothes to washroom to go fresh up.

When i returned i saw him sitting on the edge of the bed scrolling through his phone and already changed his clothes.

Guess he used another bathroom.

I just went and sat on the other side of the bed and was going to lay down when i heard him say

"Can i ask you something?"

"About?" I asked.

" About why do you not have any questions for Ankit not marrying you?" He asked me looking at me.

"May I ask why does it concern you?" I asked him irritated.

"God woman can't you just for once answer my question properly?" He asked annoyed.

"What would i get by asking answers from Ankit? I have an idea why he did it. And I was expecting it from him. This would come as a surprise but we never ever talked. Our parents fixed the alliance and I wasn't even asked for my opinion then too i tried my best to cope up with Ankit. I tried calling him and also texting him but he never responded then i got busy with my exams." I said and shrugged.

He was looking at me shocked.

" Why are you so shocked? I thought you knew it. As you knew the reason why he rejected me." I asked him.

"I don't know why he rejected you." He said nonchalantly.

"WHAT?? Are you serious right now? Why would you agree to get married to me? Basically you know nothing about my life and you agreed to get married to me! That is fucking great Mr. Arora!" I said getting angry at him.

What kind of a man does this? He knows nothing about my identity, my past.

What if in future he gets to know it and decides to leave me?

"First of all stop calling me Mr.Arora. I have a name and secondly I had no choice but to get married to you. I don't care why he rejected you. He is a jerk. I am very sure he has some stupid reason for it." He said calmly.

"The reason he rejected me for is not stupid it is something related to my past and the day you come to know about it probably you too will feel disgusted by me." I said silently and laid on side of bed indicating him that i don't want to talk any further. He got the hint and he too laid on his side.

Dhruvv Arora

I was laying on my side of bed all confused.

What is it that happened in her past? Even Sachin said she has gone through a lot. This girl is soo confusing. One second she is arguing over the couch another minute she is angry at me the next second she is worried about me because i know nothing and i married her?

She should be worried about herself .

She is just crazy!

I turned to face her and saw her sleeping very peacefully. Probably for the first time i have seen her with this solemn expression.

Why would i feel disgusted by her?

The more i try to tell myself to maintain distance from her the more she draws me to her.

I just smiled looking at her.

I just hope soon you trust me enough and tell me about your past!

I slept with this thought in my mind and a smile on my face.

I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly the curtains opened and sun rays hit my face.

"Priya just close the curtains. I want to sleep." I groaned.

"Mr.Arora everyone is waiting for you on the table for breakfast. You better get your ass moving from the bed." She scolded me.

God! She is worst than my mom.

"Okay just give me 5 minutes. I'll get up."

I said putting my head inside the pillow to cover my face.

"Fine" She huffed.

Just a second later I felt something cold on my back and then i realised she's put ice cubes inside me t shirt.

I got up hastily and screamed "What the hell Priya?"

Then i noticed priya standing in the farthest corner of the room trying hard to control her laughter and my one & only sister standing there laughing at me as if it was the Joke of the century.

"Sarah you are going to pay for it." Just when i was going to go towards her she held Priya's hand and ran out of the room.

I just started with my morning routine annoyed with Sarah's stunt. When i went towards dining room everyone was seated and Priya was laughing at something Sid said.

This was the first time i saw her laughing heartily in all these days. I always saw her glaring , frowning, or with a fake smile.

She was wearing a red saree and the nupital chain around her neck with sindoor on her forhead.

She looks soo beautiful!

She turned to look at me and caught me staring and just arched a brow at me mouthing "what?"

I just shrugged and sat beside sarah and asked

"So what's going on? Why are you guys laughing like maniacs?"

Priya just rolled her eyes.

Probably the only girl who rolls eyes at me is her.

Maybe that is why i always am drawn to her because she never pays heed to me.

Every other female would die to be at her place and here she is rolling her eyes at me.

Stupid girl!

"What did you just call me?" She asked looking at me.

Wait... I said that aloud. Shit!

But why would i be afraid of her.

"I called you stupid" I said to her.

"May I ask why?" She asked narrowing her eyes at me.

" Because you rolled your eyes at me and no one would dare do that." I said seriously.

" Well.. Get used to it then." She said and shrugged.

I was going to say something when mom called her in kitchen.

"Coming Aunty" She said and headed towards the kitchen .

Just then all the family members came to the dining room and sat on their chairs talking among themselves. Ankit was seated in front of me and only the sight of him was enough to get me irritated. So i just excused myself and headed towards kitchen to have water. When i entered i saw Priya struggling to get something from the upper shelf and her bare back was on display.

I couldn't help but gawk at her slim waist.

When did you become a pervert?

I was snapped out of my trance by my mom "Do you need something?" My mom asked me.

"No mom i was just here for water. I'll take it." I told her.

"Priya you bring the dry fruits. I'll arrange everything else by the time." Mom said and left the kitchen.

And priya was still struggling.

I don't know what possessed me and i went towards her, stood behind her back and said "Let me help you"

She lost her balance and was about to fall when i held her by her waist.

"Mr.Arora! You scared me!" She said placing her hand on her heart.

"Call me Mr.Arora once more and you are kissing the ground right away!" I told her and loosened my hold on her not enough to let her fall.

"What! no. I mean okay I will call you uhhhh Dhruvv. Is it fine now?" She asked holding my shirt tightly.

I was just lost soo in the moment and i could see she was lost too.

And ofcourse my smart brother Sid decided it was the best timing to enter the kitchen. He entered and said "Was last night not enough for you guys huh?" He winked at me and walked towards the fridge.

I looked at Priya and saw her flustered face and loosened my hold on her.

She shifted and gestured me towards the upper shelf.

I took out the dry fruits container and gave it to her to which she said a faint thank you and then i left the kitchen.

I smiled remembering her expressions.

Did i just make her speechless?
