Recap: Sharan gives Ishana the cheque - IshRan misunderstanding

Ishana's POV

Sharan came home in the evening an hour later than his usual time. He didn't even check on his sisters before walking into his room which alerted everyone. That was quite an unusual occurrence. I tried to cover for him saying that he was under some work related tension and somehow appa and the twins believed me.

I hid my inner turmoil from everyone here. What will they say when they know what happened? Are they going to blame me like Sharan did? I don't think so, nobody can be as mistrusting as Sharan.

He didn't come downstairs until it was time for dinner and when he did, he acted like everything was normal. How can he act so well, that fool! He had his dinner with all of us but he didn't even look at me, not even once.

It seems like he hates me but does he know that I hate him too? It's his loss but then why am I feeling so bad. I completed all my work but I was stalling. I didn't want to go to our room and face him.

What did he say? He is my boss and me, his employ? Horse-shit. If that is what he wants then fine. I walk into the room reluctantly and relaxed only when I noticed that he was already asleep on his side of the bed.

When I was about to sleep on my side, he turned suddenly making me yelp in shock. He is certainly not good for my heart, note the sarcasm please.

"This bed is not for my employs. Move to the couch" he said rudely.

I want to smack his head but resisted the urge. I needed the money and I already used it. So I have to obey him whatever he demands.

Calm down, Isha.

"Okay, I will take the couch" I said in the most patient tone that I could manage at the moment. I didn't know if I was more sad or angry. Is this what all the time that we spent together lead to? Is this what I deserved for all the patience and care that I had invested in our relationship?

For some reason he seemed annoyed at my answer. He can go to hell for all I care.

"You don't even deserve the couch but since I don't want my employs to suffer I am letting you sleep there. Remember that this is only my kindness. What did you think, that you can live here as my wife and enjoy all the pleasures of life?" he spoke looking at me.

It took all of my being to not show my hurt and anger. What did he think of me? Am I a gold digger? Did I ever take advantage of any of his riches before? In fact I hadn't even asked him for a single thing before this and even this time I had only asked after he asked me to. How can someone have such low thoughts about a person?

And Kindness? KINDNESS? Let me tell him where he can put that kindness of his.

No, calm down.

"Okay Sharan if that's what you think. If I don't deserve this bed, or this couch then I am not going to take them. I don't need any 'kindness'" I took a pillow and a bed sheet and shifted to the floor. Unlike what he thinks I am quite capable of living without riches even when I had enough all throughout my life. We never know what life gives us and should never downplay and degrade anything that we have.

He didn't say anything, his expression blank as I settled down on the floor with the pillow and the blanket. When I turned my back towards him after lying down, he turned the light off and a traitorous tear slipped from my eyes despite my best attempts to hold it in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharan's POV

What are you trying to do Isha? I know, I know that you are extracting pleasure by hurting me. What are you expecting from me? I am not going to care about you anymore. Sleep on the floor or anywhere else, I don't care. I don't want to care.

You don't hold a place in my life anymore, not in my life or in my heart.

I pushed my face further into the pillow in an attempt to sleep but for some reason sleep seems far away today.

Next morning

I reached for my clock groggily and notice that it was an hour earlier than my usual timing. I sighed, it had taken me more than two hours last night to fall asleep and now I was up an hour earlier, why my sleep is betraying me too.

I turn on my bedside lamp and in its glow I notice Isha's face. She is sleeping quite peacefully but there are tear tracks on her face. Why was she crying? I am the one who should be crying. She hurt me first and then she is crying, like wow. Was she crying because she failed to garner my sympathy by sleeping on the floor? Anyways, why do I care? How does it matter to me if she was crying?

I don't care and anyway enough of this drama. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I am not going to be betrayed again.

I turn to the other side but somehow look back at her again. Why does she have such an effect on me? Why does it hurt me to see her crying? I got down from the bed quietly and moved towards her. I softly rub the tracks of tears on her cheek but she is disturbed by it and starts to get up.

I panicked and did the first thing that I could think of. I grabbed the water jug beside her and emptied it on her face. She wouldn't even guess that I would have touched her in the panic due to the water.

Guilt struck me immediately as she got up gasping for air and looked around panicked but I quickly masked it with a smirk.

"Are you here for a holiday that you can get up as you wish? Wake up on time and start your job" I turned my face away. Shit! This is harassment and no matter what she does I have no right to inflict this upon her.

Sorry for this Isha and I promise to not repeat this. I would maintain my distance from now on and not create any such situation. No body and I mean no body at all, no matter what they have done deserve to be treated like this.

This is not done and you are not going to repeat this Sharan, I admonished and warned myself.

I turned back to face her and the hurt and anger is so clear on her face and they are asking a hundred questions that she didn't and I have no answers, it hurts. I know that I am wrong.

She doesn't say anything but just gets up and puts the pillow and blanket on the bed.

"You shouldn't have done that Sharan and I am not going to tolerate this the next time. There are a few limits even between a boss and an employ and I will not tolerate if you cross them the next time. You only suits that name Mr.Rude. It's my mistake to believe that you will change one day." she walked away after saying that to me much to my irritation.

I know that I was wrong but it irritated me more when she said it. She sounded disappointed and for some reason that made me feel even smaller.

Urgh!

I walked into the shower after that and once the water started streaming down my body, I slumped onto the ground. This isn't me. I am rude but I am not wrong, then why am I doing all this.

And why am I so hurt when I see her hurt? Why did I feel so bad when she looked at me with those questions in her eyes? Why did she have to betray me? Weren't we having a happy life? Couldn't she see the nice future we could have had? That I had started to see? Why was she so hell bent on reminding me of my past?

I had been so wrong when I had thought that you deserved better, that I didn't deserve you. You don't deserve me or my family, Isha. I am not going to allow you to hurt my family like you hurt me. Enough of this self pity, I am not going to let you do as you please.

I will not allow it, I made a strong resolve.

With the new found determination, I bathed myself quickly and changed into my work clothes. When I walked back into my room I noticed Isha ironing my clothes and instantly my anger was back in full force.

Didn't I tell her to stop her acting in front of me? Who was she trying to fool? Herself or me?

"What do you think you are doing?" I asked her from a distance. I want to avoid incidents like the one this morning.

"Ironing Sharan" she replied.

I controlled my anger, "Who asked you to do that? Didn't I make it very clear that you are only supposed to act in front of my family? How many times do I have to say it before you get in it into your head" I yelled at her.

"Reduce your voice if you don't want the others to hear you Sharan" she replied calmly, still ironing my clothes. I just want to burn them now.

"Stop doing that and mind your own business. I do not want to see you doing any of my chores from here on" I reduced my volume. She didn't say anything and left the room.

I completed ironing my clothes and then started searching for my belt. Where the hell did that girl put it?

It took me about half an hour to look for it and another half an hour to get my files. I arranged all my things by myself after a long time. This girl has influenced my life a lot and now I need to get my old habit of doing everything by myself back.

I look at the clock and realize that I was running late today. I immediately rushed down.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ishana's POV

How dare he throw water on me? I am his employ not his slave. I am not going to tolerate this kind of behavior from him and if he repeats this again he is going to see what all I can do.

I rushed towards the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.

I hate you Sharan and I promise, you are going to regret your actions one day. I was going to tell you why I had taken the amount but now I have decided against it. Why should I even care? Why would you even care?

After I repay your amount, I am going to leave this place. You don't deserve my care or affection. I will work with utmost sincerity and leave this place soon. Forget our relationship you should have at least valued our friendship.

The breakfast was silent and both me and Sharan acted normally. He didn't take the lunch box that I prepared and I realized that the old Sharan was back. All the hard work that I had put into making him more patient and understanding were down the drain and this time they might not come back because unlike last time when I was beside him, this time I am the one facing him and I intend to leave soon.
