Rudra's POV:

She is testing my patience!!!
Yes she is!!!
That Sameer keeps ogling at her all the time but this girl cannot see anything beyond food. She is too innocent to understand who is flirting with her or trying to get closer to her. The other day I saw Sameer smiling at her like a maniac while this stupid girl was enjoying sandwich with him in cafeteria. But my temper crossed another level altogether when he wiped sauce off her cheeks...

He bloody touched her!!!
I could literally wanted to grill him alive!!!

That's when I decided to divide them in teams...I mean come on there were other folks in the office she could go for lunch...but I don't know why does she like company of those two guys!!!
Karthik stares at her secretly and Sameer openly!!! I could pluck both their eyes out!!! I wanted to fire them but I didn't have a dedicated reason for it so I maintained my calm.

Today I was pissed as she was praising him in car..I ended up crashing my car into a tree but even then she was desperately jumping like a rabbit for that 'Stupid Sameer'!!! I somehow tried to keep my calm however I lost it completely when I saw him feeding her Dhokla!!!

But as there was office crowd I maintained my calm. Later when I thought of my behavior I regretted. She is a baby...Her tiny brain understands food or her dummy Rabby. Nothing else!!!
She is a 2 year old inside body of a 23 year old one. So I thought of explaining it to her but I don't know what happens to me nowadays when I see her.

It's like I want her closer and closer. In my arms. Her fragrance drives me crazy, her smile leaves me astonished, and when I observe her too close...her eyes and her lips..her plump fresh strawberries drive me mad!!!

I have been dying to touch them again since I touched them last during the swimming pool incident!!!
I know I'm attracted to her but then how can I forget...
I hate women!!!
They only hurt!!!
And my heart is not up for another one!!!
So I maintain distance from her.

Myra was trying to tell me something about the latest consignment and she was showing me some test reports but this woman makes me uncomfortable. I looked at her and said...

'Miss Myra... please maintain a decent distance please!!! I'm not comfortable' I told and she took a step away but was still too close... just then Prarthana entered my cabin and misunderstood me with Myra. To add on Myra yelled at her. I wanted to pull out Myra's tongue now but I didn't want anyone to know I'm giving extra importance to Prarthana. No one knew she was my wife. But her sad face pricked a hundred needles in my heart. I wanted to explain it to her but I was in two minds.

One part wanted to explain it to her and the other wanted to ignore it and make her feel ditto how I felt seeing her with Sameer!!!

I felt???
Shutup Rudra...
You are only protective about her!!!
Remember you hate women!!!

Right!!!

But somehow I wanted to talk to her so I excused myself and went out only to see Sameer again sticking to Prarthana...

What's it with these two!!!
This time I roared at her!! Rudely!!!
But it pricked me real bad when I saw tears in her eyes ...
She just applied a half day off and went back home. I felt terrible seeing those tears in her button like eyes.

Fuck I'm cruel!!! Entire day I kept thinking about why I behaved like that. I was ruthlessly rude to her. She was too soft. And I was like a assassin!!! Damn!!!

I had to make up for it...

✨

I went home early today. I wanted to talk to her. I slowly stepped inside the house trying to find her. First I checked the kitchen. But kitchen wasn't smelling bad. I didn't hear screams, didn't get a burnt smell nor got phenyl smell from kitchen. Seems like the kitchen wasn't in danger which means she isn't there...

I slowly went to her room...she was not there as well...I wonder where she was... strolling through I could hear her voice coming from the gym area. And whatever I saw next I really had to maintain a good stamina to control my laughter.

She had made my punching bag on which I practice boxing most of the times wear my t-shirt. She probably got a colour printout of my photo where I look very angry god alone knows from where and now she was standing infront of it with a long wooden stick.

'What am I ??? Tell me you Hitler... what am I???' she spoke to the punching bag and I couldn't control laughing. I actually palmed my mouth to control my laughter...

'What do I do??? Fool around??? Fool around??? Huhhh...you are the only fool around here ..you handsome gorilla' she hit the punching bag again with the stick and I kept observing her. She was Crazy and cute.

'You ..you will shout at me is it??? That too infront of that aunty Myra?? That bloody chewing gum who keeps sticking to you and you enjoy it is it??? And you call I fool around... because of you I couldn't even eat my favorite Dhokla...you buffalo...you are definitely Hitler's rebirth...I hate you .. take this... take this' saying she kept hitting the punching bag again and again.

I smiled at how many complaints my doll had from me. She was indeed. My cute little fluffly doll. I tried not to utter a word but I really wanted to talk to her...

Prarthana's POV:

I was really angry on him. I kept chewing my caramel chocolate bar and kept hitting him...I mean his dummy!!!
The real him could hang me to death if he ever knew his otherwise punching bag was my 'alternative' him to take off my anger!!!

Just then I felt a hot breath too close to my ears...
'Looks like someone has a lot of complaints???'

And my throat went dry. I didn't dare to turn around. I could identify that sexy voice even in my dreams.

Huhhh...the cause of your wet dreams Pattu...
Shutup!!!

'Ummmm I....I....need to go' saying I was about to leave but I felt a pull on my wrist and next minute I crashed hard into his chest. My eyes met his shiney dark brown ones...I swallowed hard!!!

His gaze travelling from my eyes to my lips and back to my eyes...next minute he tugged my loose flying hair strand behind my right ear and whispered in such that his lips touched my earlobe...

'You have a complaint...tell it to me...Rudra Nayak is all ears...Mrs Rudra Nayak'

The way he addressed me caused a thundering sensation in my chest. I couldn't breathe and I felt my heartbeats rising real high. I closed my eyes at once.

I don't know why I felt like saying it ...my eyes wanted to do the daring today. I wasn't at peace since last one month. Two months to this marriage and one month of his teasing tantrums...my heart was aching at his actions...

I was tired of hiding it. My eyes filled up and my teary eyes met his. His smiling face turned to get worried as he saw my eyes going cloudy...

Tears escaped my eyes and I saw his lips part...
He cupped my face and his thumb fingers softly wiped my tears...

He softly caressed my cheeks while I still kept looking at his face...His hot breath kept fanning my face...I swallowed and finally spoke up...

'I don't like to see you with Myra!!!
I don't like to hear about you with Manisha!!!
I don't like it when you are close to any other girl!!!
I hate to see you with any other woman!!!'

My eyes kept pouring non stop!!!
It's like days of frustration and pain was being poured out.

He took a step closer and looked into my eyes. Next minute I felt his lips on my eyelids and he placed soft kisses on both my eyes...

My breathing that was hyper went to calm down a bit ...
Cupping my face in his big palms he softly said...

'They are just my colleagues Prarthana...Shhhh' stoppppp...I hate to see tears in your eyes...please doll' he said and I opened my teary ones to meet his brown shiney ones which kept looking at me with a different emotion.
I was speechless!!!
This was something new!!!
