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

Arjun was in the kitchen preparing plates for dinner...Janvi came downstairs after sometime...Something was bothering her...She is in deep thoughts...

Arjun observing her every action...He didn't say anything to her....He let her think...You can say "Overthink"

"COME HERE"

Arjun called Janvi from the kitchen...

Janvi looked at the direction from where Arjun called her... Taking slow steps she entered the kitchen...It was a mini wooden kitchen...It was mini but almost all the accessories were available like- micro oven, refrigerator, coffee machine....

"YOU CAN OBSERVE EVERYTHING LATER...NOW FIRST HAVE DINNER..."

"I CAN'T LET MY WIFE HUNGRY ANYMORE..."

Janvi looked at Arjun... Whenever he calls his wife,it feels so different....She was facing nonidentical emotions...

"WHO CAN GUARANTEE THAT SHE WILL NOT BEGIN TO EAT ME BECAUSE OF HER HUNGER..."

Arjun whispered but it was loud enough to hear for Janvi...

"What rubbish are you talking about?"

Janvi snapped at Arjun... Arjun looked at her blankly as he didn't say anything...

"NOTHING...TAKE THIS PLATE AND GO TO THE DRAWING ROOM...SIT THERE AND HAVE YOUR MEAL..."

Janvi looked at the plate and then looked at Arjun...

"WE DON'T HAVE SITTING PLACE HERE...GO AND SIT ON THE SOFA..."

Arjun spoke like he was explaining to some kids...Janvi didn't say anything and took the plate and went to the sofa...It has red sauce pasta...She wonders thinking that Arjun can cook also...

"You know how to cook also?.."

while sitting on the sofa Janvi asked Arjun not being able to hold her curiosity...

"I TOLD YOU....I KNOW MANY MORE THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE, WIFEY..."

Arjun answered with a blanked face...No emotions were displaying....How did he manage to do that?...

"STOP STARING AND EAT..."

Arjun sternly ordered Janvi...

"I'm..n..not.....and stop ordering like the boss..."

Janvi complained like a child being irritated by his bossy aroua...

"NOT LIKE BOSS...I'M THE BOSS..."

He started to eat...Janvi didn't feel like answering him back...she also began to eat...The pasta was delicious...As soon as she started to eat her stomach growled loudly....She didn't know that she was that hungry...

"THAT'S WHY I HAVE ASKED YOU TO HAVE DINNER EARLIER..."

Janvi looked at Arjun surprisingly...He knew that she was hungry...That's why he was  asking her to have dinner....How did he know?... Janvi thought in her mind and started to eat...

After finishing her dinner she went to the kitchen to wash the plate...As soon as she stands in front of the kitchen sink Arjun came from nowhere and snatched the plate from Janvi...

"You scared me..."

Janvi spoke taking deep breaths...

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?.."

Arjun asked angrily...Janvi looks at Arjun blankly as she didn't get him...

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORK WITH YOUR INJURED HAND..."

"It's not a biig deal.."

Janvi didn't know what to say... Does he care about her?

"NO MORE ARGUE...GO AND SLEEP...YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANY WORK..."

Arjun started to wash plates....She stood there blankly....

"GO NOW..."

Janvi didn't make any movement...

"OR DO YOU WANT ME TO PICK YOU UP IN MY ARMS AND GO TO THE BEDROOM?..."

Arjun asked making eye contact with Janvi...Janvi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say...She immediately left the kitchen and ran to the stairs...

"CAREFUL, SWEETHEART..."

Arjun told Janvi when she ran to the stairs...He doesn't want her to get hurt...

Janvi's pov--

"CAREFUL, SWEETHEART..."

I heard Arjun from the kitchen...I didn't care much...I just ran from there and went to the bedroom...

Why does he care for me?...Is he for real?...Or, is he making me fool?

Is he going to sleep here? He is my husband but still he is a stranger to me...Moreover he is the dangerous mafia king...That identity sends chills inside my body...I always turned cold...What if he kills me in sleep!!... Thinking of getting killed by a mafia husband I felt dizzy...

I get fresh first then lay down on the bed...I kept myself dangerously in the corner of the bed...It was a semi double bed...I want to stay away from him as far as I can...I tried to sleep fast but sleep was far away from my eyes...

Suddenly, I heard the cracking sound of the door...He is here...I closed my eyes...I felt him coming near me...My breath got stuck...I closed my eyes tightly...He put away some hair strands from my face to behind my ear...My heart began to race...

His breath was fanning my face...He is so close...

"STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU ARE ASLEEP...I KNOW YOU ARE NOT..."

I didn't open my eyes...I stayed still...I felt Arjun covered me with the duvet....

"MOVE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BED OR ELSE YOU WILL FALL DOWN..."

I didn't open my eyes...I was just listening to him..

"I WILL BE DOWNSTAIRS...DO NOT NEED TO BE AFRAID..."

He took a deep breath...

"SLEEP WELL, WIFEY..."

He patted on cheek lightly and left from there as I heard the sound of the door closing...

I started to breathe again as I was holding my breath and looking at the closed door...

"What are you Arjun?...

Why are you doing all these things as you care?

Stop doing all these things...I don't wanna get used to your care and attention...In the end I'm the one who will be hurt...I know.."

I spoke to myself and after sometimes sleep overtook me....

Arjun's pov--

I started to prepare dinner quickly....Janvi is starving...I thought about making red sauce pasta...It will be ready within a few minutes...I put the pasta for boiling and started to prepare other things...After sometime it was ready...I wait for Janvi for a few minutes more...There was no sign of her....I waited more...Then I couldn't take it and thought to check her...I went to the bedroom and entered the room as the door was open..

The view made my heart stop... Janvi was wearing a sari or trying to wear a saree...She had wrapped the saree and set the pallu...She was trying to make pleats...She was looking breathtakingly beautiful...My sudden presence made her startled...I didn't want to make her embarrassed...So, I tried to light up the situation...

"WHAT  MAKING YOU TAKE THIS MUCH TIME?"

The saree fell down on the floor from her hand...She stood dumbstruck...

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN WEAR SAREE YET..."

"I couldn't make the pleats with my injured hand..."

Janvi replied slowly looking at the floor...I stood in front of her and she looked up and started to take steps back...I held her forearm and stopped her movements...

"STAND STILL.."

Then I took the saree from the floor and started to make pleats like experts...I didn't touch her as I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable...

"TUCK IN..."

I offered her the pleats...She took the pleats from my hand and tucked in...she didn't look up...

"How do you know how to wear saree?"

She asked me being surprised..

"I KNOW MANY MORE THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE,MY DEAR WIFE"

I smirked evilly which made her uncomfortable...

Then maybe she remembered something and was thinking about asking me or not..

"YOU JUST NEED TO ASK ME ABOUT THAT WHAT'S RUNNING ON YOUR TINY BRAIN..."

I asked her as I wanted to know what she was thinking...

"Those..... things....in the cupboard...."

She shattered and I spoke in the middle...

"IS THERE ANYTHING MISSING THAT YOU NEED? MAKE A NOTE...I WILL ARRANGE THEM..."

I asked being concerned as I don't want her to suffer from anything..

"No...Why do you have ladies accessories in your cupboard..?"

Why is she asking about that...I have arranged everything for her as I want her to live comfortably here...

"I DON'T WANT MY LADY TO SUFFER WHILE LIVING HERE WITH ME..."

I told her which I had in my mind...

"SO, I HAVE ARRANGED WHICH I THOUGHT SHE NEEDED..."

I replied after a pause...I kept looking at her as I wanted to know what she was thinking...

"I shouldn't have worn her clothes without permission..."

"Her?"... whom she is talking about?...I didn't say anything as I was trying to understand the situation...

"Her clothes fit me perfectly as if these were made for me..."

She smiled nervously and unconsciously  started to play with her pallu...

"YES.."

She instantly looked up and met with my eyes which were already on her...

"YOU HAVE QUITE SIMILAR BODY STRUCTURE AS HER..."

I was looking at Janvi...She was thinking that I have another woman in my life...I also played along with her...Her eyes started to tear up and she looked away...she started to walk away from there...

I put my one hand on her lower bare back and pulled her towards me...she collided with my hard chest which made her gasped...I held her tightly against me...She is so soft...She lowered her eyes and tears escaped from her eyes...I held her chin and made her look at me...Then I wiped her tears with my thumb...

"WHY YOU ARE CRYING,SWEETHEART??..."

I can't see her crying.... Don't know why...Now I know the reason why she is crying but still didn't make her misunderstand...She pushed me and tried to remove my hold... Instead of leaving her,I held her more firmly...

"WOMEN AND THEIR INSECURITIES..."

I took a big breath as I was trying to keep myself calm...

"NOW DO THE HONOUR...COME TO DOWNSTAIRS AND HAVE DINNER, MY LADY..."

I stressed on the word "My Lady"...I was smirking...I then removed my hand from her back and left from there...

I gave her a hint that she is the woman for whom I have arranged everything...But the look of her face didn't show that she understood the hint...

I was in the kitchen preparing plates for dinner...Janvi came downstairs after sometime...Something was bothering her...She is in deep thoughts...So, she didn't get the hint...

I was observing her every action...I didn't say anything to her....I let her think...You can say "Overthink"

"COME HERE"

I called Janvi from the kitchen...

Janvi looked in the direction from where I called her... Taking slow steps she entered the kitchen and started to look around...

"YOU CAN OBSERVE EVERYTHING LATER...NOW FIRST HAVE DINNER..."

"I CAN'T LET MY WIFE HUNGRY ANYMORE..."

Janvi looked at me...

"WHO CAN GUARANTEE THAT SHE WILL NOT BEGIN TO EAT ME BECAUSE OF HER HUNGER..."

I whispered but it was loud enough to hear for Janvi...

"What rubbish are you talking about?"

Janvi snapped at me...I looked at her blankly as I didn't say anything...

"NOTHING...TAKE THIS PLATE AND GO TO THE DRAWING ROOM...SIT THERE AND HAVE YOUR MEAL..."

Janvi looked at the plate and then looked at me...

"WE DON'T HAVE SITTING PLACE HERE...GO AND SIT ON THE SOFA..."

I spoke like I was explaining to some kids...Janvi didn't say anything and took the plate and went to the sofa...

"You know how to cook also?.."

while sitting on the sofa Janvi asked me...

"I TOLD YOU....I KNOW MANY MORE THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE, WIFEY..."

I answered with a blanked face...

"STOP STARING AND EAT..."

I sternly ordered Janvi...

"I'm..n..not.....and stop ordering like the boss..."

Janvi complained like a child...

"NOT LIKE BOSS...I'M THE BOSS..."

I started to eat...Janvi didn't answer me back...she also began to eat...As soon as she started to eat her stomach growled loudly...

"THAT'S WHY I HAVE ASKED YOU TO HAVE DINNER EARLIER..."

Janvi looked at me surprisingly...Why did she get surprised at every single thing??

After finishing her dinner she went to the kitchen to wash the plate...As soon as she started to wash the plate I snatched the plate from her...

"You scared me..."

Janvi spoke taking deep breaths...

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?.."

I asked angrily...Janvi looks at me blankly as she didn't get me...

"I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORK WITH YOUR INJURED HAND..."

"It's not a biig deal.."

It is... can't she understand?

"NO MORE ARGUE...GO AND SLEEP...YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANY WORK..."

I started to wash plates....She stood there blankly....

"GO NOW..."

Janvi didn't make any movement...

"OR DO YOU WANT ME TO PICK YOU UP IN MY ARMS AND GO TO THE BEDROOM?..."

I asked making eye contact with Janvi...Janvi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say...She immediately left the kitchen and ran to the stairs...

"CAREFUL, SWEETHEART..."

I told Janvi when she ran to the stairs...I don't want her to get hurt...

----

I went to the bedroom to check whether she needed anything or not...I entered the room and noticed that she was pretending to be asleep... Anyone can say that she was pretending...

I put away some hair strands from her face to behind her ear...My breath was fanning her face...

"STOP PRETENDING THAT YOU ARE ASLEEP...I KNOW YOU ARE NOT..."

She didn't open her eyes...She stayed still...I covered her with the duvet....

"MOVE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BED OR ELSE YOU WILL FALL DOWN..."

She was laying at the corner of the bed...Any wrong move she will be on the floor...

"I WILL BE DOWNSTAIRS...DO NOT NEED TO BE AFRAID..."

I took a deep breath...I know she is scared of me...That's why I assured her that I'm not staying with her in the same room or same bed...

"SLEEP WELL, WIFEY..."

I patted her cheek lightly and left from there...I closed the door and went downstairs...I made a fire on the fireplace and settled myself on the sofa...It was small for my size...I stayed there in a half laid position and started to check some important mails...Then I called Musa...

"WHAT'S THE UPDATE?

Musa gave me all the updates that were important for me..

"TRY TO KEEP EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL...

YOU HAVE TO HANDLE THINGS NOW..."

"I WILL ASKED YOU WHEN I NEED YOUR BACK UP.."

"KEEP ME UPDATED..."

I cut the call and started to make plans for my next move....
