You're A Cupid's Cue

Chapter 3 👨🏻

I reached the Singhania mansion around 11 in the morning. I landed at Mumbai airport in the early morning itself but I chose to go home at that time because I wasn't ready to face the wrath of my grandpa. I had to explain the truth to my mom first and then let her explain it to others in her own way.

When I entered into the living area, I stopped in my tracks seeing HER sitting there alone with her eyes closed. I tiptoed towards her and stood behind a pillar to find out what she was doing there.

I realised she was deep in thought as her face frowned a few times and suddenly she let out a deep breath.

Maybe she's thinking about me.

I was lost in analysing her facial expressions when she opened her eyes out of the blue and looked down. After some time, she carried Rey and put him on her lap while talking to him animatedly to which Rey giggled at her every now and then.

She's cute.

Heaving a sigh of relief, I finally decided to go to her as I had to apologize first for leaving her all alone right after tying the knot with her. I already knew that she's got a bad impression of me so I had to make it up for it.

I straightened my posture and walked towards her. She instantly turned towards my direction when she sensed my presence there and got up carrying Rey in her arms.

I stared at her when she was looking at me confusedly while observing my face and attire.

That's it. She doesn't remember you now. Congratulations Veer, your wife doesn't remember you.
My inner voice mocked me and I was expecting her to at least try to recognize me but unfortunately she asked something that made me feel a pang in my heart.

"Hey, Hi! Are you looking for someone here? I feel like I have seen your somewhere. May I know who are you?"

I cleared my throat and decided to introduce myself to her.

"Veeranshu. Your husband" I should've stopped with my name itself but I was afraid that she would ask back 'who is Veeranshu' so I had to tell her what am I to her.

She instantly widened her eyes and smiled at me sheepishly, giving me an apologetic look. I didn't know what to say as I was a little upset that she couldn't recognize my face so I just took Rey from her without saying anything to her.

I was playing with Rey when I heard her sighing heavily. I looked up to see her narrowing her eyes at me but she quickly lowered her gaze when she caught me looking at her.

Damn! She's really looking like a kitten with her cheeks in beetroot tint.

I was gazing at her intensely and failed to notice when she had started looking at me again. She was rubbing her cheeks weirdly and I sighed at her. Crossing her arms, she raised her eyebrow questioningly and I opened my mouth to apologize to her for my behaviour but stopped hearing my mom's roar.
