Happy Reading!

Arohi went to the kitchen and prepared coffee and checked on the dinner. 

"Here" she gave the coffee to him. "Thank you" he said with a faint smile.

"Dinner is ready, tell me whenever you want to eat" she said, to which he just nodded. 

She sat beside him when her phone went off with Sameer's call. "Arohi I think I found the perfect fabric for you. I am sending you it's image check it" 

Arohi checked it and it was somewhat the fabric she wanted. "It's perfect Sameer. Where did you get it?" 

"Who's Sameer?" Abhishek thought.

"Why are you jealous?" - his conscience mocked

"Why would I be jealous?" he said

"Of course. You wife is just talking with some other guy, why would you be jealous" his conscience rolled eyes.

"Can you shut up and let me listen to the conversation" he said irritated.

"Yeah sure listen, just don't loose you mind later" he just rolled his eyes and eavesdrop her conversation.

"A shopkeeper sent it to me. He said that his new material was on the way, so I asked him to send me images of the new material" he explained.

"Oh that's great. Thank you so much Sameer" she said with a smile "Let's go tomorrow itself after college, is it okay?"

"Of course. See you tomorrow then" he said and hung up the call.

Arohi was so happy, she finally got the thing she wanted. But can't say the same for Abhishek. He was furious listening to her. Well well, jealous would be the correct word for it.

Arohi looked at him and was confused seeing his face. She controlled but end up laughing hard. Abhishek looked at her in "WHAT" he asked irritated.

"You face" she said holding her stomach "You look so funny Mr. Mehra" she said pulling her cheeks. Abhishek was stunned by her act and was stilled. Arohi realized what she did and stopped laughing, her eyes going wide.

She was withdrawing her hand from his cheeks but he held her hand and kept them still at his cheeks. His act almost made her heart skip a beat and her breathing got hitched. He looked intently into her eyes. His eyes showing emotions she was not able to comprehend.

"Wh.. what are yo.. you doing?" she asked stammering and almost like a whisper. He just shrugged his shoulders and caressed her hand which was still in his cheeks. 

"Leave my hand Mr. Mehra" she said, actually pleaded. 

He looked at her face and then got up and went to his room. Arohi left the breath she was holding for so long. Her heart beating like a crazy drum.

His proximity does something to her, she just can't think straight. She shrugged everything and went to her room.

"What did I do just now?" Abhishek thought

"Don't behave like you didn't like her touching you" his conscience mocked.

Abhishek was speechless. He don't know what happened to him when she came close. Her smile, her laugh, her words, her touch, everything is just way too different.

He shrugged his thoughts and got freshen up.

.........................................................................

Abhishek came downstairs and heard the soothing sound of the anklets coming from the kitchen.

Arohi came out holding bowl she just heated up and saw Abhishek standing at the staircase.

Their eyes met and they looked away.

"Um the dinner is ready" she said. He came and sat at his seat. She served him and herself.

They both ate the food in silence. Arohi was busy thinking about her designs while Abhishek was going through some mails in his phone.

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

Next morning...

Arohi went to her college and attended her classes. After classes she met Sameer and they both went to buy the fabric.

She saw the fabric and she just loved it. She bought the fabric and paid for it.

"Come Arohi I will drop you, it's already late" Sameer said.

"No it's okay Sameer you already helped me a lot" she said with a smile.

"Then let me help you a little more" he winked. Arohi just laughed and agreed.

Sameer is always flirting with her and is her best friend. Well he looks like a playboy but is a very generous man. They both might quarrel, disagree or even plan murder but will always be the best friends.

Sameer knows about Arohi's marriage. Only he and Ritika knows about it. The trio are best friends since the first day of college.

They reached Abhishekh's penthouse and Arohi got down. "Thank you soo soo soooooo much Sameer"

"Anything for you sweetheart" he winked and looked around "I must say your husband is indeed wealthy huh"

"Yeah" she said.

"So when are you planning to divorce him? Cab you imagine the alimony you'd get and then we'll get married" he said playfully.

Arohi smacked his arm "In your dreams" she rolled her eyes.

Then they both burst into laughter. They talked for a while, unaware of Abhishek's deadly gaze on them, especially on Sameer.

Abhishek's POV:

I got out of my car and made my way towards the elevator when I heard a familiar voice.

I looked forward to see Arohi standing with a boy and laughing with him.

My brows furrowed. She would never talk to me and here she is laughing with a stranger, WOW!

I made my way towards them. "What's so funny wifey?"

"What the fuck" she flinched hearing my voice and kept her hand on her chest. "What's wrong with you"

"Huh" I raised a brow.

"Aise kon achanak se ata hai (who comes out of nowhere)" she said.

"Accept it that you got scared, what's the need to twist the words" the boy said rolling his eyes.

Who the fuck he is and how dare he roll his eyes on my wife. MY WIFE!

Arohi smacked his hand and glared him. She looks cute thou but why is she behaving like this with him when she wouldn't even talk to me straight.

I clearly don't like it!!!

"If you're done so shall we go home wife" I said glaring her.

She looked at me as if I had grown two horns, but who cares. I don't want her to stay with another man.

"Yeah" she turned to the guy "Thanks for the ride and your help Sameer" she said with a smile.

"Anything for you sweetheart " he said with a wink and hugged her.

"How dare he!!! How dare he wink at my wife and hug her"

"Why are you jealous huh?" My conscience mocked.

"She is my wife. And I'm not jealous" I replied

"Well a few weeks back you didn't like her presence or her name being attached with yours, and now she's you wife. Amazing" my mind mocked.

I held her wrist and dragged her towards the elevator. She was trying her best to get out of my hold but I give a damn.

I entered the code and the elevator started going up. Once we reached I took her to the living room.

"Leave me Mr. Mehra" she said annoyed.

I let go of her hand harshly and glared at her. She held her wrist and started rubbing the part I held.

"Who was that guy?" I asked in a deadly tone.

"Huh seriously. He's my friend" she replied in the same tone as me.

"Oh. You seem to be very close to him, that's the reason you hugged him in front of your husband" I said moving towards her.

She gave me a disgusted look and said "Whatever I do is none of your business"
