•Chapter- 23•

The clock ticked 12'o clock and that was when Advaith came back home. After the chaotic turn of events, today and Advaith went out in a hurry I tried calling his number several times but to no avail.

Bhai and Deeva tried to talk to me but I just needed some space. I assured them we can talk later since I was already worried about Advaith. For some reason, I did not tell anybody about the way he left. I just covered his ass up saying he had some urgent work at the office and left except I don't think he even went to his office. My mind keeps on making wild perspectives on where he could be and honestly with the amount of worry he is giving me I am going to take my revenge on him!

Who does that?! Who leaves like that and his tone.....maybe if he left normally I wouldn't have thought much of it but the way he spoke.......so detached yet in a hurry as if something's at stake it got me anxious as I have never seen him like that.

The sound of our room door opening and a very tired-looking Advaith coming in brought me out of my thoughts. As soon as I saw him the first thing I noticed is his disoriented state. He looked at me and just stood there as if not knowing what to say and I got up from the bed taking his suit blazer from his hands and throwing it in the laundry basket.

"Did you have dinner?" I asked calmly and he shook his head in no.

"Go freshen up I will heat some dinner and do you want to have it here or downstairs?" I questioned him again. He just stared at me and said

"Here" I nodded and left the room to whip something up.

Fifteen minutes later I took a tray full of food for him and saw him sitting on the couch in deep thoughts. Oh! And he is shirtless too!

Now is not the time girl!

I placed the tray in front of him and sat down beside him serving him food. He just silently took the plate from me and ate everything without a word.

I want to ask him if he is alright......if there is any problem......ask him to share it with me. But I just didn't know how........would he honestly tell me? Would he be willing to share? Are we at that stage yet?

And after all these questions jumbled my head up Advaith finished his dinner and I set everything away. Without any word I went and took a comfy nightgown and went into the bathroom to change.

I contemplated on going out for a few minutes and decided he is the one who should be awkward after the stunt he pulled up so I took a deep breath and went outside. I did my night routine and all along I can feel his gaze on me but I didn't acknowledge it and rather ignored it.

After completing my chores I was walking towards the bed when in one swift motion I was on the bed sitting and Advaith was standing in front of me.

"Don't ignore me" he said in his gruff voice.

"Huh?" I mumbled confused looking up at him.

"You are ignoring me.....don't ignore me" he said his eyes deadly serious. I narrowed my eyes at him and pointed my finger to his chest.
