Together For-Ever

Chapter Sixteen

Adrika

As we reached the apartment building I noticed the cars of my stalkers parked right beside ours. I shrugged looking at them.

"Ads, you go and take rest or do whatever you want. Just don't come to the living room and kitchen. The girls will be here by eight." Rudra informed me.

I nodded and went to my room in my brother's apartment.

I took a shower and got into my comfortable pajama shorts and lied on the bed. These two weeks I didn't wore shorts even once infront of Arjun because I don't know how he will react. And I was stuck with those satin material night wear which was selected by mom's stylist. I abso-fucking-lutely love my cotton shorts.

Thinking the previous conversation with Rudra I slept.

After having our delicious meal which was cooked by Rudra, all left to their places.

Now I and Adheera are sitting in the balcony looking at night view of Gachibowli. I can see the Deloite Office from here.

"So when will you start behaving like a daughter-in-law of that house?" This is the first question he asked after they all left.

"I don't know. Maybe when my husband starts treating me like I am his wife?" I answered with another question.

"Adu, every man likes when their girl respects his mother." He said looking at me intently.

"So, what are you saying that I am not respecting her highness?" I said mockingly.

"See this is what I am saying. Even with me you should not talk bad about her. You know right how she is with everyone. She is lovely and she is very strict when it comes to the family name. She just needs to know that you are loyal to your husband and the family and maybe sometime to accept your nonchalant behavior." He said very gently.

Nonchalant behavior. Loyalty. Family. Arjun.

"Annaya, do you think I can speak to anyone openly when I can't even speak to my own mother? It's been years since I've spoke more than two sentences with them. Then how can I go and talk to that family. I tried to talk with her but every time either Arjun or his brothers are present there. Yes, she comes the cabin everyday but I don't think she comes to talk to me. She comes to check how am I keeping the cabin. After that she leaves."

I continued. "You know Arjun talked to me like four times in these two weeks. Even yesterday he wanted me to ask his mother's permission for me to come visit my home. And he gave me permission because he is leaving the city for some work. And ordered me to stay there if I don't ask his mother's permission and follow the rules. That's why I came here without informing either of them." I said.

After that we both didn't speak anything for sometime.

"Do you love Arjun?" He asked.

Oh God! Don't he knew that already!

"Of course! What kind of question is that?"

"So what if he did not talk with you? You should've started the conversation. You love him, right? Then what's the problem in taking the first step. If you love him truly, then chasing him is not wrong and he is your husband. And you have every right to chase for your love. Why are you waiting for him? I thought you are much smarter than the girls out there. But your thoughts are still old school." He said.

"Tell me, Adrika. Did your day ever completed without thinking about Arjun? Even before your marriage. Even when you are suffering?" He asked.

"NO!" I said firmly looking at him. Yes, my day never completed without thinking about Arjun since I was thirteen.

"So you should never give up on him. Don't think about the sudden marriage. Because you know this is bound to happen one day. I agree this is early. But do you have anything lined up in your life after your college except the NGO. No, right. You always wanted Arjun and nothing more. So the God gave you Arjun early rather than later. So that you both will become stronger in your life." He said and left the balcony saying he had an early surgery tomorrow.

Yes, I didn't have many goals in my life. I always wanted to serve the children, especially those girls. And next is Arjun. It's not like I am obsessed with him. I just love him. I love everything about him. I love the way his eyes lit up when he sees his mother or his sister. I love the way his face and ears become red when he is angry and one can literally see steam coming out of them. I love way he tries to stay in control every time. I love how he puts his hand around me with so much confidence that I will not remove his hand. Even how he breaths in his sleep. It's like a lullaby for me.

To sum it all up. I just love the way he is.
