Chapter - 20

Kaat-ta hoon lakhon lamhe

Kat te nahi hain

Saaye teri yaadon ke

Hat-te nahi hain

Sookh gaye hain aansu

Teri judayi ke

Palkon se phir bhi badal

Chhat-te nahi hain

Khud ko main hasaun kaise

Maane na manaun kaise

Tu bata..

Roke na ruke naina

Teri aor hai inhe toh rehna...

❤️

Gauri's pov -

I was driving but my mind was completely focused on aditya and what things that witch vani had said !

I stopped my car and got out to get some air .

"Why ? Why ? Why ? Ahhhhhhh? " I kicked the car and then groaned in frustration.

"Out of all the people in this world why you Aditya ? " I said and kicked the car again .

That witch has corrupted my mind but why is this affecting me so much . Nothing affects me this much then why is this affecting me so much ? I shouldn't care but why do i care ?

I got back in the car and drove to my home ! The house I used to live in before I got married! I opened the house with the code but the house was very dirty and i have ocd so i went straight into cleaning ! Cleaning is like therapy to me it's therapeutic but this time cleaning too didn't seem to make a big difference too .

I cleaned as much i could but the dirty spots still disturbed me . I was already so disturbed and now i was three time s more disturbed.

I was hungry but didn't have the appetite to eat so i just kept laying down on the sofa and after some time overthinking and rethinking sleep took over me because i was really tired from all the shopping and lectures .

I woke up the next and went to the kitchen they were not a lot of things so i just ordered a coffee and something to eat .

I poured the coffee in the cup and went outside in the balcony when i saw his car down the house and he got out of it and looked up .

How did he know where i was ? If it's sakshi this time then she is so dead !

I looked at him who was leaning back on the hood of his car looking up at me ! I just looked at him once and then went back inside !

I ate and then went upstairs to my room . It was pretty much like how i left it just a little bit dirty . I opened my closet there were not a lot of clothes but there were some that I had left for If i ever wanted to come back .

I took one of them out and then took a bath and changed . I had brought my bag here with my laptop with me last night only so that i wouldn't have to go back I needed atleast one day to clean my head .

The whole day went very boring !I was just working and working and overworking myself ! He didn't call me once in a way I like it and in a way i didn't!

It was about to be 12 am and his birthday i wanted to wish him even though I don't like these things but i still wanted to wish him but I won't know he deserves that much for lieing.

It was the next day now i was sitting leaning back on the chair flicking the pen again and again because that's what I do when I am panicking.

Should I go ? Or should I not ? Let's just go !

Aditya's pov -

"Aditya at least cut the cake ! " Sanjivini bhabhi said .

" I am Not in the mood for any kind of celebration !" I said looking here and there .

Well suddenly the door opened and walked in the person for whom I had been waiting .

"Gauri !" Sanjivini bhabhi approached her and hugged her .

"Chachi !" Chaarvi also ran to her and hugged her .

"Gauri !"I got up looking at her .

"Happy birthday! "She wished me and that was the only happy birthday I wanted ! A smile immediately found a way to my lips .

"Now cut the cake "! Sanjivini bhabhi said smiling .

Aditya cut the cake looking at me .

"Thanks !" He mouthed to me and i just passed him a faint smile .

They all fed him the cake but he was still looking at me so i stepped towards him .

I picked up the cake piece and put it infront of mouth .

"Happy birthday !" I said again and he took a little bite of the cake .

After a while ~

Gauri's pov

I was right now re arranging my clothes beacause my closet was a mess . When i suddenly felt a stringing pain in my stomach .

"Ahh !" I groaned in pain holding my stomach .

"Are you okay ? Are you hurt somewhere? "Aditya asked me . I didn't know he was there I didn't sense his presence .

"I am okay "! I said looking away back to re arranging my clothes . He hummed and left the room .

I laid down on the bed because my stomach was paining so much and as it turns out I was on my periods .

The next morning ~

Gauri's pov -

"This piece of garbage ! Ahh ! Why the hell does everything and everyone troubles me during my periods? " I talked to myself and kicked the car in anger as I ran my hand through my hair .

"Need some help "? Again this man is here to sacred the hell out of me.

"No ! I can manage and by the way do you have like a detector or something installed or you have cameras following me ! If that's true then you are creepy !" I blurted out as I have no control on my tongue on my periods.

I said and sat inside the car knowing that it isn't starting and he went ahead and started his bike ! His bike started but my car didn't !

I got out and watched him lower down his head ! It seemed either he knew and is mocking me or he just wants to tease me ! But i won't give him that satisfaction!

"You know i can drop you !" He said looking at me .

"I would rather walk !" I said crossing my arms .

"You will walk 1 km ? I don't think you will reach on time " ! He said wearing his helmet.

"Come on i will drop you ! "He said and i gritted my teeth .

I have no option ! I have an important meeting ahead and i have to attend it ! Sakshi isn't picking up too and if I leave the car to repair it will take a lot of time .

"Fine ! You win ! I lose again!" I said and he again lowered down his face and smiled .

"You know I don't kill people if they smile but i might kill !" I said and he chuckled.

"Now come on !" He said and i stopped towards him .

I was about to sit when i realised i was on my periods and second day how will I sit .

"I will just call a cab ! " I said and he took off his helmet and looked at me .

"You change your mind before the other person can even think about something "! He said looking at me in disbelief.

"Is something wrong with you gauri ? You look sick !" He asked me concerned.

"I am okay ! Thanks for asking !" I said looking at him .

"Wait ! Are you on your periods? "He asked me .

"Umm! I-

"Wow ! This date should be written in the world record "The Gauri " is stuttering! " He said looking at me.

"Shut up ! And as for your question it's a yes !" I replied back looking here and there .

"You don't have to be ashamed! It's not something to be ashamed of ! "He said .

It's not like i am ashamed of it ! I have just never talked about these things to all men !

"You stand near there ! Wait "He asked me to stand near a platform and i looked confused but still went and stood there .

He reversed the bike and arched it down to a lower level .

"Now sit "! He said and i could now sit comfortably.

I sat and he started the bike .

How can someone be this good ! But wait he did lie that do about something like that ! I am not forgiving him this easily .

He dropped me off and I got down and thanked him and left before he could reply back .

Two hours later ~

I was focused on my work when someone knocked the door of my cabin !

"Come in "! I replied still focused on my work .

"Mam someone dropped something for you "! The receptionist said and i looked up only to find her holding a bouquet of lillies.

I obviously know who sent this because there is only one person who knows I like lilliees and that's...

Before i could have even thought my phone rang and obviously it was "Aditya" !

"Thanks ! You can keep the flowers here and please the door before leaving !" I said and passed her a slight smile and she left from there closing the door and i answered the call .

"Hello !" He said on the phone call .

"Hello to you too !" I replied back .

"Why did you send flowers? " I asked him .

"Wow i didn't even have to tell you ! Well you told me you liked flowers!"He replied back .

"I don't like them now ! I change my mind before anyone can think! Right !" I said trying to taunt him .

"Your taunt worked !" He replied.

" I have to work ! Talk to you later bye !" I said and cut the call .

Aditya's pov -

She is still angry ! Very angry! I get it it's all my fault i should have told her before vani could have came and create an havoc ! What can I do to make her happy ? I can google it.

"How to impress your wife "?

"No no no no ! It's not like she is my girlfriend that i have to impress her !"

"How to convince your angry wife ?"

" If I do any of these things she will kill me before I could have said sorry !"

Ughhh !!!! Wait ! Sakshi ! She can help ! She knows gauri very well .

Let's just call her ask !

OTP - ( on the phone )

"Hello sakshi ! Do you know how to convince an angry gauri ?" I asked her.

" Wow no hello no hi ! That's rude of you !" She said acting like she felt offended.

" Just tell me sakshi ! " I said .

" Okay ! You can do -----------------------" She said and then cut the call because gauri called her .

( An - I know I am bad but I need to maintain suspense too ! Hehhehe ! )

Okayy ! This is gonna be tough ! Very tough to be precise but it's worth giving a try !
