✔️The single housewife (Completed)

Temporary dialogue

Heya, everyone!

I hope you are enjoying this story so far! I am so excited for this chapter as it's from Neel's POV! Let me know in the end if you liked it:)

Neel's POV

There she was, all prepped up like a bit of soldier, ready to go to a battlefield. She looked pained as she saw me.

I knew she would be gone only for a day or two. But I was so used to her company that I found myself already lonely. I knew she had to go to her so-called husband and fulfil the formality of her presence in front in front of her mother in law.

"Thanks for coming here. It means a lot to me," she said as she tried to smile.

"It's just a matter of a day or two. Don't worry; you will be fine." I said as I couldn't help myself but hold her hand.

She looked into my eyes, curiously and it went on for some good long seconds. Her beautiful, beautiful eyes hid the signs that I had been seeking since the day I met her. Did she like me too?

"I am thinking what you are also thinking?" she asked me, never taking off her eyes with mine.

I hope that was the answer to my question. Her hand was still in mine.

"Mmmm", I was amazed by my own deep throaty submission.

She smiled at me as she gently pressed my hand.

"Era! Neel!" Shouted Mihir and Nisha as they approached near us on their cycles.

"I will wait for you." I whispered and she smiled. We both then turned around to face our friends, Era quickly taking away her hand. My hand felt cold and empty without hers.

Mihir and Nisha came towards us, Mihir too busy to notice whereas Nisha gave me I-know-everything look. However she chose not to speak anything.

"We just came to say goodbye." Said Mihir.

"Actually we know that you will come back after a day or two but still, just seeing you off." Said Nisha as she rolled her eyes from Mihir's previous comment.

Era's POV

"Thanks for coming! Bye guys!" I asked as I stepped out of the portal and they all waved me goodbye. I took my luggage and left the mansion, going straight to my home.

I reached my house and saw the door unlocked. I opened the door and entered inside the house, only to find Deep hugging Deepa.

Deepa suddenly witnessed my presence and got separated from Deep. Atleast she had the decency to respect my presence. She looked tensed whereas Deep looked indifferent. However he looked curious.

"Hi." He said. "How are you?"

"Hi. I am good." I returned the formality. And looked towards Deepa.

"Era is Deepa." He said introducing us. Deepa nervously offered me a handshake. I had to admit that my eye contact had became stronger and my gaze had become more confident just in three weeks of my stay in Cerulean city.

She became increasing under confident under my what-are-you- doing-at-my-home-under-my-absence look.

Deep looked at me, his expressions more curious than ever. He signalled me to calm down so I took away my imposing glance from Deepa.

"Hi. I wish I could say I am glad to meet you but trust me, I am not." I smiled politely but the undercurrent of my tone was sarcastic.

"I think...I think I need to go." She said as she advanced towards the exit.

"What are you doing?" Deep whispered behind her back. "That was rude!"

I looked at the retreating form of Deepa. And then looked at Deep.

"Deepa, wait!" I said and she turned around expectedly to look at me.

"Please shut the main gate once you exit the home," I instructed her. She looked gloomy and nodded before exiting the place quietly.

"What did you just do?" Deep was furious.

"I agree that we have decided to divorce each other. But that doesn't mean I would tolerate any nuisance. Even when I am not at home, I expect some decorum." I said as I looked around our messy bedroom.

"And ya, please clean up the room." I dismissed him and went towards the balcony to spread my legs and relax in the cool air. The thought of the presence of another woman in my residence was repulsive and cringeworthy.

"Era, cook the dinner, I am hungry." said Deep.

"I have travelled a lot. I am tired. Please order online. I am going to sleep." I yawned and laid on my now-clean bed.

Deep was beyond shocked. I have never declined any request of his. And today, I scared his lover away and bossed him around... a little. And that was quiet a development right?

I closed my eyes and wondered how would I face my mother-in-law next day.
