"Mrs. Arohi Abhishek Mehra YOU ARE LEAVING THAT JOB! AM I CLEAR" he said his tone rough and dangerous.

Arohi started at him and did something he never expected..

Arohi picked the jar of water and thew, just the way Abhishek did, it fuming in anger. Abhishek stared at her. Her this move was totally unexpected.

She looked at him and said "I also know how to get angry and shout and trust me I know better than you" she glared him and continued "And what were you saying, leave the job? Huh leaving a job might be a joke for you, but for me it is my source of money. If you think that I will leave it then you are wrong Mr. Mehra. If you make me leave this job then I will join another"

Abhishek was flabbergasted will be an understatement. He never in his dream thought that his fragile looking wife can behave like this. Like a fucking tigress. He kept looking at her in bewilderment.

"Stop staring like a creep" she shouted.

He came out of his trance hearing  her voice, which was irritated + angry. He ran a hand through his hairs and looked away. "I.. I was not staring you" he cleared his throat and continued "And I don't like this kind of behavior Mrs. Mehra" he said pointing towards the broken jar pieces. To which Arohi just rolled her eyes.

Abhishek took a deep breath to calm, his little wife was getting high on his nerves now. He then said softly "See I am telling you nicely for the last time, leave that job. I have no issue with you working, but I have problem with your choice of work.." he was cut off by Arohi saying "This is wrong. No work is less"

He yelled in an irritated voice "Listen to me first" he sighed and then added "I know no work is less but you are Mrs. Abhishek Mehra. Willingly or not, you carry my name. Leave about media, what if our families get to know about it? What will they think huh?"

"My family knows that I work in a cafe" she said folding her arms.

"You were unmarried back then, and now you are married to a billionaire" he said in an uninterested tone.

Arohi opened and closed her mouth because she had nothing to say, but she was not going to admit it. She understood his point and concern. But how can she leave her job, her only source of income? Leaving the job means she will have to ask him for money, which was totally against her self-respect.

He shook his head and took out his card from his wallet and handed it to her  "You want money? You can take as much as you want from this. It has no limit. Just leave this job please"

"I don't want your money and about the job..." she paused and took a deep breath "I will leave it"

Abhishek sighed "Finally" he thought.

Without saying anything Arohi took her stuff and went to her room. Regretting her decision. Feeling like a looser. She took a cold shower to calm her anger and mind. After shower she decided to complete her assignments.

Arohi didn't come out of her room, neither she took any efforts to check on dinner for her good-for-nothing husband. She was still angry on him for his behavior. She was doing the thing she is best in - OVERTHINK. She didn't realize when she dozed off on the table itself.

Abhishek on the other hand cleaned the mess he and his wife made out of anger. He regretted the decision of sending the butlers early. Obviously he didn't want them to see them fighting. He even sent Mrs. Annie home saying that they will be going out for dinner, so she didn't make any dinner as well.

"Perfect there is no dinner and if I tell Arohi to prepare anything then she will kick me off the balcony. PERFECT" Abhishek thought.

Abhishek didn't know how to cook so he ordered pizza for both of them. Till the pizza arrived he watched T.V. with some beer.

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

Abhishek accepted the pizza boxes. He kept his box on the table and went upstairs with the other box. After living with her, the thing he knew was she is vegetarian.

He knocked her door. Once. Twice. Thrice. But she didn't open the door. Sighing he turned the door knob and opened the door.

He entered the room and was totally shocked to see the room. The dirty and dusty room was clean and tidy. No one can say that this room was once full of dust. He scanned the room thoroughly to find any problem. But the only problem was there was no problem. Everything was just perfect.

His eyes stopped at the sleeping beauty. She slept keeping her head resting on her hands on the table. She slept sitting on the study table.

Reaching near the study table, he saw many designs on sheets laying all over the table, some were stuck on the wall. He was amazed looking at the detailing and the work. They were beautifully designed. He saw noticed dried tears on her face. He felt guilty/bad that instant.

"I never wanted to make you cry but I was mad and you were adamant. I am not as bad as you think I am" he said to her sleeping self.

"Are you apologizing to her" Abhishek's conscience mocked.

"I am not" he replied

"Then why are you feeling bad for her and saying all this huh"

"Because...." he stopped, confused why is he feeling bad and why is he saying it to her?

"Because? Because you like her maybe?" his conscience smirked.

"WTF. I don't like her. And you just shut yourself" he rolled his eyes mentally.

It was as if Arohi sensed Abhishek's presence, she opened her eyes. Her eyes widened seeing him in her room. She immediately got up "What are you doing in my room?" she asked narrowing her eyes.

Abhishek cleared his throat "I came to give you this" he kept the box on her table "I sent Mrs. Annie home so she didn't make any dinner. I don't want to starve so I ordered myself pizza. And I am not inhumane so I ordered for you as well"

She looked at him in disbelief for his bipolarity behavior. "Thank you"

Abhishek picked some sheet and looked at them "You made all these?" he asked. Arohi gave him a 'duh' look "These sheet are in my room, on my table so obviously I made him" she said in a bored tone.

He rolled his eyes at her sarcasm and kept looking at the sheets, astonishment clear in his face. He never thought that his wife is this talented. He made a mental note to suggest her name to his designer friend.

"Let me guess, you never thought that I can be talented" she said in a teasing tone "Typical Indian Mean"

"Ha Ha Ha" he said keeping the sheets back on its place "Have the pizza and don't you dare waste even a single piece".  She hummed and he left her room.

Arohi looked at the box. She was hungry and she was thankful to him for ordering for her as well. She went to wash her hands first.

The pizza turned cold, so she decided to heat it. Wearing her slippers she went downstairs only to hear Abhishek laughing. Well that was weird.

Descending down the stairs she saw him sitting on the couch watching some movie and enjoying his pizza and beer.

"He is looking so handsome while laughing" she thought.

"Oh so he is handsome huh" her conscience mocked.

"He looks handsome and there is no doubt in it. Just look at him" she replied

"Yeah I can see that" her conscience teased her.

"Whatever" she rolled her eyes.

Arohi went to the kitchen to heat up the pizza. Abhishek came to the kitchen to get some ice. The same moment Arohi turned around bumping into him. She lost her balance but he circled his arms around her waist to save her from falling.

They looked at each other. Lost into each other. They kept looking at each other. Suddenly the microwave beeped bringing them back to reality. They stood straight and look everywhere but each other.

Abhishek took the ice and went back to the living room. Whereas Arohi took out the pizza in a plate and also some cold drink. She carried everything going back to her room.

Abhishek noticed her going so he said softly with a smile "You can join me if you want". Yep he said softly because today's quota of getting angry and mad was over.

Arohi eyes were wide enough to come out of their sockets. She was shocked as hell at his behavior. First he bough her pizza, then he indirectly praised her work and now this. Shock would be an understatement.

"Are  you okay? Or did you hit your head somewhere?" she asked moving to the couch. She sat on the couch adjacent to his, keeping the plate and taking a sip of her drink. Yes she accepted his offer.

"Let's be civil for a while. Enough of fighting" he said eating a slice.

"Hmm you're right" she said taking the pizza. She took a bite and moaned at the taste of the pizza. Abhishek looked at her and then decided not to be a creep.

He cleared his throat "Wanna try" he offered her his pizza. She looked at him and was about to say something but he replied her unasked question "It's veg"

She nodded and took a slice and offered him a slice of hers as well.

They both watched the movie together, laughed together, shared their food, even shared their views on the movie and enjoyed the moment TOGETHER.

This was something new to both of them. Being with each other without fighting or arguing or taunting. They both liked it. It was different. They liked this little change.

Who would say looking at them that a few hours back they were arguing as if they cam kill each other. And now they are sitting together and laughing.

To be continued....
