AYAAN'S P.O.V

"Ayaan, I am unable to untie this string. How did you tie it?" I heard her frustrated voice. I turn around to face her. Here she was holding the string forward still trying to open the knot. I don't know why she is soo cute.

When I meet Radha few times before marriage I didn't like her too much. Her habit of continuously using phone was irritating. But in these days i haven't seen Aashika looking at her phone. Her attention are wholly on me if I talk. And somehow I'm finding her every antics cute.

"Let me help you. Come here," I said, kneeling down. I deliberately put my hand on her waist and quickly untied the knot. Her pants immediately fall down. She looked down and again her face started getting red.

" Step out babe " I mumble when she didn't move I lift her up.

" Now go "

I wondered how she couldn't open it herself. Without replying to me she quickly run to bathroom.

She shouldn't be shy. Girls do wear dresses so just take that tshirt as dress. And I've never seen a wife getting this much shy from their husband.

What Kanak said was partially true. I mean, yes, their family did request us. They were crying so much. How could their daughter run away and leave her family like that? Because of their request, our family accepted Aashika as their daughter-in-law. I would have accepted her anyway, but her mother came to me and requested me to take care of her. She is just so innocent.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but one thing I know is that I'm not going to hurt her or hate her just because the marriage happened like that.

THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V

Ayaan was lost in his thoughts when the bathroom's door opened and Aashika approached him, calling his name. However, he didn't notice because he was already lost in his thoughts.

She waved her hand in front of his face. "Ayaan, where are you lost? I was calling you."

"Han... Nowhere. Are you ready? Let's go for breakfast."

They went to have their breakfast, and after finishing, everyone left. Their mother gave them so many things, as they didn't come home casually.

" Ayaan, please ensure that you take care of yourself and Aashika as well. Remember not to scold her or get into any arguments with her. Make sure to call me daily."

"And Daksh, the same instructions apply to you and Deepak you as well."

"Yes, aunt, I understand. I should leave now as I have some urgent work to attend to," Deepak said before departing from there.

After listening to their mom's instructions, they both left in their respective cars.

"Ayaan, I really don't want to go today. Because of all the drama surrounding the marriage, I haven't been able to complete any of my assignments. I'm going to get scolded, and they might even call my mom, please."

"I asked bhai to change your guardian's number. They will call me now if something happens."

"What? How... I mean, why?"

"Because I'm your husband now, and I am responsible for you from now on."

"Can I skip?" She said softly, playing with her fingers.

"Okay, tell me what you're going to do at home all alone."

"I will clean up and attend my online classes. I promise. Please, can't you let me skip this once?"

"Aashi, it's not ideal, but okay, if you insist. But this is the last time I'm letting you skip. You don't have to focus on house chorus, just focus on your pending assignments. Okay, come out now, we have arrived. And one more thing, Daksh bhaiya lives in this building too, but on different floors. Let's go now," he said, holding her hand and leading the way towards his apartment.

Ayaan open the door welcoming Aashika. Aashika look around.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, Ayaan. We are going to live here," she asked joyfully.

"Yes, we are. Everything is already arranged in your room. You can just go and work on your assignment. Also, don't worry about anything, I will contact the workers, and they will come here."

"What do you mean by 'your room'? Are you going to live in a different room?" She asked sadly, without understanding why she felt that way.

"Our bedroom is not meant for you to do your assignment. Please work in your own room, as this room is like your study area. You need to study there."

After giving her home tour he left her with a TV, laptop, and phone to keep her entertained while he went to work. After kissing her forehead.

In the evening, Ayaan returned home early, feeling uneasy about leaving her alone. He unlocked the door and, not seeing her around, he went to her room. There, he found her lying on the floor, writing in a notebook.

"Why are you lying on the floor, Aashi? It's cold. Stand up and find a proper place to sit," he scolded gently, placing his hand on her back. She looked at him with a pout.

"I'm struggling with these questions. Your brother will scold me," she said showing him her assignments.

"Stand up, close the book, and tell me if you've finished your other assignments,"

"I have, as they weren't as difficult," she replied.

"Alright, I'll call Daksh later to help you with these questions," he decided.

"No, I can't. I'll just copy answers from my friends," she protested.

"No need for that. Daksh will help you, and that's final," Ayaan insisted.

"Ayaan, I forgot to attend the online class today."

"Do not worry, we will discuss this later. Did you eat anything ?"

"Yes, Auntie came and cooked food. She even cleaned all the rooms. She is very kind. We talked, watched TV together, and she made my favorite food today."

"It sounds like you had a good time today. Let me freshen up, and then we can watch a movie together. After that, you can finish your work."

"But after Auntie left, I felt really bored. I missed you and Mom. I couldn't even talk to her," she said, pouting as they walked towards the bedroom.

"Why? Don't you have your phone?"

"I have it, but it's not charged. What's the use if I can't make a call? Ayaan, I don't have your number. Can you give it to me?" She asked, handing him her phone.

He saved his number on her phone. They both reached the room. Ayaan went to freshen up and change, while Aashika chose a movie for them to watch.

"Let's watch this movie," she said as she saw Ayaan coming out. He sat beside her with his phone in hand.

"Don't use your phone. You said we would watch a movie," Aashika said, whining.

"I recharged your phone. Now you can call anyone. I messaged Bhai to come here after resting; he will be here soon."
