*Ansh Pov*

"Damn!" I screamed, sitting up and closed my eyes in pain.

"What happened?" I heard a voice and turned only to scream again feeling my neck stuck.

"Did you tied my head to something to not turn towards you?" I asked and felt eyes burning with the pain.

"No! You tied it yourself." Her reply made me feel more mad.

I slowly stood up and turned around to see her sitting calmly on the dining chair and sipping something which I am sure is coffee.

I turned a little to see no coffee on the table, but she used to make one cup for me too. And this made me more mad if possible and I turned to look away only to hiss in pain.

"God!" I whispered, closing my eyes tightly and stood there hoping it will get better.

I don't know how but I want it to get better otherwise I would better die than this pain. Suddenly I felt arms on my shoulder and felt her making me sit on the couch.

Then slowly she started pressing her fingers on my neck for a few minutes and then my back. It felt good and I ignored the pain too feeling her massage.

But then she suddenly turned my head and I screamed but then felt the free movement of my head. I didn't say anything hoping she will continue the massage and she did making me grin.

"Still paining? That's why I said not to sleep here." She asked and I grinned more hearing her concern.

"If you are going to massage me like this, then I will sleep here everyday." I replied and suddenly she hit my shoulder and started moving away but I stopped holding her hand.

"Leave me!" she ordered, but I pulled her making sure she settles in my lap.

"Now, are you going to allow me to our room?" I asked caressing her cheek.

"No! Either leave my home or sleep in that room or sleep on this couch. You are very lucky that you have two choices." She advised making me smile.

"But you have only choice and that is to stay with me. I mean, let me stay with you. See, how double lucky you are to have me in your life?" I asked, smirking to which she raised her eyebrow.

"You sure think of yourself as something great." She commented and tried to leave, but I tightened my hold on her.

"Of course I am great. Otherwise you wouldn't have started dating me." I said, shrugging while she sighed leaning back.

"Fine! Stay on this couch only and don't expect me to remove the pain tomorrow." Saying that she suddenly stood up, making me realize I loosed my grip when she leaned back.

"You will!" I stated to which she gave a shrug and walked off to the kitchen.

"Okay! I will leave for work." I said, standing up and she immediately turned around to stare at me.

"Please don't say you will not brush your teeth or bath unless you can use the washroom in my room." She said making me laugh.

"I think that is a good idea." I commented to which she groaned, but just shook her head and walked back into the kitchen.

"But I can't torture my staff." I added and walked out to bring my things needed only for now.

After getting ready, I walked out to see her having breakfast, but nothing for me. She glanced at me before turning back towards her breakfast.

"I will have at my work. It's not like I didn't do it before." I mumbled gaining her long sigh and she slowly stood up to walk into the kitchen and returned with the breakfast.

I immediately grinned, taking it and we both had a very silent breakfast. After finishing the food, I gave her a peck on the cheek before leaving the home ignoring her shock.

"You should have come to the party yesterday." That's the first thing my Dad said the moment everyone left the meeting room while I was looking at my papers.

"I told you both to leave me alone for a few days." I replied frowning not even glancing at him.

"Fine! Take today off and meet us tomorrow. We are inviting someone for dinner and you need to be there." He ordered while I stared at him.

Is he serious? A few days of silence is equal to one day leave from the office? As per them, I just broke up yesterday and they want me to meet someone else?

Well, they can meet them by themselves and I am not going to do anything like that. And they can keep their leave also... but then today is Kirthi's half day, right?

"I am not going to meet anyone but I am taking your offer of going home." Saying that I walked off ignoring his calls and settled everything with my secretary regarding remaining meetings and drove towards her home without wasting any minute.

"You?" she asked the moment door was opened.

"Yeah! You too returned early today? I thought of giving surprise to you." Saying that I walked inside, pushing the door a little more.

"You went to work." She stated while I settled myself on the couch removing my tie and the coat.

"Yeah! Seeing my sad face, my Dad asked me to take the day off." I said, shrugging and she walked near to me.

"Why do you even had a sad face?" she asked folding her hands.

"I had my relationship broken yesterday and of course I will be sad before them." I replied, shaking my head and when she frowned, I immediately added, "In their eyes."

"For a second I thought you accepted my words." She said sighing.

"Worried?" I asked, holding her hand smiling.

"No! I was relieved." Her reply just made me pull her hand and make her fall in my lap like morning.

"What is with this pulling? You didn't do like this before." She asked, frowning with an irritated expression.

"Before I need not do that because you were not talking about ending us." I replied, shrugging and before she can say anything my mobile started ringing.

"One second!" I said, taking out my phone and frowned at it.

"I hope that if for some meeting and they are calling you back." She said to which I pulled her and hugged her tightly to me making her struggle for a few seconds but she settled calmly with a long sigh.

"Yeah, Mom?" I asked, lifting the call and gestured Kirthi to be silent.

"You should have come to the party yesterday, Ansh." She repeated Dad's words making me roll my eyes.

"Mom! I was sad and you know that." I said and winked at Kirthi to which she rolled her eyes.

"Even Anu was asking about you." Mom's next words made me pause and there was some kind of feeling like a relief.

"Really?" I asked her in a whisper, making Kirthi frown.

"Yes! We sat down and talked and your dad talked only a few words, but he will be fine soon. We both missed her." I closed my eyes, hearing her words and I am damn sure Anu would have been so happy.

She didn't say in many words, but she was missing them too. Unlike me, she was always fine with them and was happy with whatever twisted way our family was. But for the first time in her life she rebelled and that too for a person who let her down.

"I am happy, Mom." I said, smiling to myself and felt a hand on my cheek.

I opened my eyes to see her curiously staring at me and I know for damn sure she is stroking my cheek with an absent mind. I bent to press a kiss to her forehead making her realize what she was doing and she removed her hand immediately.

"Okay! Tomorrow you need to come for dinner." Mom's words also brought me out of my happy feeling.

"Mom! I just came out of a relation." I pointed out and shook my head at Kirthi.

"So? You need to just meet this girl and you will like her." Mom said in a confused tone.

"Mom! Do you even know what happened? I broke up with my girlfriend, and that too because of you both. It's not like we both had any misunderstandings, but for your sake I did. Do you know how it feels inside? I want to run away Mom and I want to just hide myself in my room at the same time. Mom! It is hurting!" I continued to throw the words in a dramatic sound while happily hugging Kirthi and she is looking at me with open mouth.

"Okay! Okay, just take your time." My Mom said little guiltily and hung up.

I placed my phone away and moved my hands to hold Kirthi's face saying, "Do you know that this is the first time I made you damn speechless? I mean I did it before but this is the first time you were this shock."

But she continued to look at me with the same look and I finally slammed my lips to her with a long kiss in mine but stopped short remembering her words from yesterday.

She will be the one who will wish to continue this relationship and then I will kiss her properly. Until then I shouldn't be tempted like I have done just now.

"You are crazy! Do you know that? If I was on the phone with you, I would have believed each and every word of yours." She finally talked and I laughed hearing her words.

"That's my intent. Now, my Mom and Dad will not talk about looking for some girls for marriage proposal and will even feel guilty which they deserve. Today I am damn happy." Saying that I leaned back still holding her and settled on the couch lying down with her sprawled over me.

"Leave me! We both will fall down." She mumbled holding me tightly at least for the scare of falling on the floor.

"But what can we do? Yeah! We can go to your room." I pointed out to which she shook her head.

"At least let me make lunch." She said but I shook my head.

"Let's have a nap!" saying that I closed my eyes and finally, after a few minutes she sighed and relaxed before drifting off into sleep and I followed her with a smile on my face.

"Damn!" I said waking up and I know this is the tenth day where I woke up using that word.

"When will you listen to me?" asking that she as usual started her massage.

"One thing is that it is not that hurting while sleeping one side one one day and the other said on the next day. The second thing is your massage which I don't want to miss. Except your absence it is better than the first day." I said shrugging, but hissed feeling the pain.

"And the best thing would be for you to leave from here and sleep on your comfy bed." She mumbled to which I sighed.

"I know the moment I leave for my house, you will enter some matrimony site or contact some broker for the grooms." I mumbled back still feeling the anger with her plan.

"You are unbelievable." She complained, making me snort.

"Please! I am a perfectly normal human being unlike you who is completely weird." I said and suddenly she pushed my head.

"See? Who hurts already hurt boyfriend?" I asked, frowning, but she stayed quiet.

However, after finishing the massage she simply replied, "You are not my boyfriend."

"I am just your lover? I can't believe you would degrade our relationship like that." I asked smirking.

"You are the weird one here. Do you know how dramatic you are?" she asked folding her arms.

"Of course I am weird. Otherwise you wouldn't have started dating me." I replied shrugging.

"Great! So, because you are both great and weird, I started dating you?" she asked and I simply nodded, to which her lips twitched but she turned around walking away.

I was quiet happy with the morning events and was thinking about the weekend ahead, but then my Dad had to drop the bomb on me meeting a girl tomorrow with no more excuses from my side after looking at my happy face.

Damn! And just like that I by showing my true emotion that I was feeling, I got myself into a closed space.

*Kirthi Pov*

"What?" I asked, smiling at the excited voice.

"Yes! I mean I was talking to them from past ten days, but was little hesitant thinking what will happen and hence didn't tell you. But, today I know that I am finally with my family now." She replied.

"You are staying with them?" I asked her while my mind went to the ten day count is the same time before which Ansh told his parents that we broke up.

"Not yet! For now I still don't want to depend on them completely, but maybe in future I will. But the thing was I was sad not being able to talk to them. I know I never talked about it to you, but I am so happy right now." Her reply made me still.

"You are with my Bhai and I am back with my parents. Looks like only good things will happen from now on." She continued while I held my phone tightly.

"I will call you tomorrow." Saying that I hung up and stared at the mirror.

She is so happy right now and I know... I know this happened because of him. Then how can I let him rewarded with pain for thinking about his sister. Doesn't that what brothers do for their sisters?

I stood up and walked out of my room before reaching the couch to see him sprawled over the couch sleeping, but with an irritated expression.

"Ansh!" I whispered, placing my hand over his cheek.

"Hmm!" he made a sound in reply.

"Come with me!" saying that I held his hand and sleepily he opened his eyes and sat up.

Without saying a word he stood up when I tugged him and walked with half closed eyes. Reaching my bed, I made him lay on it and covered him with the blanket before switching off the light.

I moved to go to the couch like I did last time when he had a headache and made him sleep here, but then deciding against it, I walked to the other side and got under the blanket.

"This is not a dream?" I heard his whisper after a few minutes.

"No!" I replied, to which he moved and pulled me into his arms slowly.

"We are in a relationship?" he asked, nuzzling my neck, but I shook my head.

"No! But you can sleep here." I replied, to which he sighed and moved a little but still held me.

"I don't want to go out tomorrow for that..." he trailed off making me frown.

"For what?" I asked him frowning.

"I will tell you tomorrow because this could be the last time you will allow me here. And you will definitely let me sleep back on the couch after hearing that." He replied sighing while I got more confused but hearing his snore I drifted off into sleep knowing well I can't find out now.
