From Strangers to Partners

Chapter 29

Arjun's POV:.

I wake up and see myself entangled with my wife and look down to stare at her beautiful and clam face. I don't even know why I am angry at her and if I am angry at her.

Honestly, I am more pissed at the fact that I did not behave properly with my wife in front of Yash and Rhea last night and the fact that I trusted Rhea rather than waiting for Samyra's clarification, it is just wrong on my part. Further, I shouldn't have even allowed Samyra to justify herself and I was doing just that but then her bossy side came out forcing me to hear her. Honestly, I cannot blame her because she thought I am misunderstanding her while I was just pissed at myself. Initially, obviously inside the restaurant I was seething thinking Myra again hid something from me but later on, I realised my stupidity and was thinking on how to apologise to her for this.

Once, we reached home and Samyra didn't wait for me, I knew I have screwed it bad this time. She didn't even look at me the entire way back home once she put her point out. I was just too pissed at myself and confused on how to apologise that I dismissed her tries to explain what actually happened.

I come out of my thoughts hearing Samyra's alarm go off. Samyra shifts a little to find the source of the sound and I immediately close my eyes, not wanting to get caught for my creepiness. I feel Samyra moving out of my grip and cancelling the alarm. I still am unable to confront her for last night but I know I will have to do it. I wait for her to return from the washroom as it is still too early for her to get out of the bed and no matter how angry she is with me, she will never take it out on her precious sleep. She comes out and gets inside the duvet facing away from me.

I move closer to her and pull her into me. The sudden gesture making her shriek a little.

"Shush woman, you are gonna damage my ears."

"Well, that way atleast I don't have to be worried about you trusting someone else's words over me." I let out a sigh before turning Samyra around which believe me was kinda difficult seeing she was reluctant to not face me. Once she faces me, I see her eyes shut tightly, not wanting to look at me.

"You have a pretty handsome husband whom you can ogle at as long as you want and here you are closing your eyes." I hear her scoff and decide to get down to business.

"Myra, I trust you enough to know you would have told me had anything serious happened between you and Anmol. Initially, obviously my jealousy and possessiveness kicked in but you need to realise once inside the car, I was angry at myself for the way I behaved and not at you. Whatever it was, I shouldn't have made things that apparent to Yash and Rhea. I was a jerk to you at the dinner and that is why I was..." I stop not knowing how to continue.

"Being an ass? Being so rude? Being so inconsiderate?" She asks opening her eyes and staring into mine.

"Maybe?" I say slowly not wanting to face her wrath. I feel Myra trying to get out of my grip, making me tighten it further which results in reducing the space between us even further.

"Arjun, leave me." Samyra says, trying to get out of my hold.

"No, first you forgive me." She stares at me in a disbelief.

"You need to apologise for that idiot."

"Oh, sorry. Myra, I am so sorry for being an inconsiderate ass and for my behaviour in the restaurant last night. I know there is no excuse for me to behave like that and I know you should not even forgive me for this but I also know that you have such big and forgiving and gracious heart-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know I am the best. So, I am forgiving you but next time you decide to pull something like this off and I get embarrassed in front of your friends or anyone for that matter, you will be sleeping in the balcony and this is not even a joke now." Samyra stares at me seriously while speaking making me a tad bit scared.

"No, no this will not happen again, I promise."

"Good." I lean in to kiss her when her stupid alarm rings again, making us come out of the trance of our little cocoon and into the reality.

"I don't want to go to college today." Samyra cries, making my grin broader.

"Well, then don't. I mean since we are anyways up and about and so cozy under this duvet, we can make some good use of making up right now." I say pulling her into me. Her eyes go wide and I can see her wheel turning in her head, making sense of my words.

It is my turn to widen my eyes at her next move. Samyra pulls me by the collar of my shirt and we are so close that I close my eyes, anticipating a kiss. Few seconds in, I do not feel anything, and as soon as I open my eyes, I feel a cool swoosh of air entering the duvet. I look up to see Samyra standing at the bedside and looking down at me, smirking.

"Get your mind out of the gutter, atleast in the morning." She shakes her head with a slight smile on her face. I jump out of the bed and stand in from of her.

"Well, it is not my fault my wife is so beautiful that I always find my mind in gutter."

"Well, if that is the case, learn to appreciate her and value her and never doubt her even for a second." Myra claims putting her hands on her waist and letting out a huff.

"I said I am sorry and I will not do it again. I promise." I say pouting a little.

"You owe me a big time for forgiving you so easily. You should really be thanking your starts for giving you such a wonderful wife." She says sassily.

"Oh believe me I do." I say and pull her into me.

"Arjun, leave me, I am getting late for college."

"But I thought you are planning on missing the day today."

"Nope, I am going now that I am up. What are your plans?"

"I'll as usual follow my wife wherever she goes."

"For that you'll have to leave me and see where I am going." I remove my hands from her waist and start follow her. She takes out her clothes from the cupboard before going towards the washroom. She suddenly stops and turn around, making me slam into her due to the sudden stop.

"Ahhh, Arjun what are you doing?" She says once recovered from the hit.

"Nothing, I was following you wherever you are going." I say innocently.

"So smooth you are, right?" Samyra speaks before flicking my forehead lightly and entering the washroom, leaving me behind.

I sit on the bed and scroll through my phone, waiting for Samyra to come out so that I can take a bath and get ready. I don't know how much time passes but once I hear the lock turning, I get up from my bed to get ready for college. I look up from my phone to feel the lungs leaving my air!

Wait what? Feel the air leaving my lungs.

Maira comes out in a mustard yellow palazzo paired with a black turtle neck. She has stack of necklaces around her neck and her wet hair up in a messy bun. It is times like these that I can see Samyra's actual age. She looks so young and vulnerable. She looks up and passes me a mischievous smile before opening her mouth to speak.

"I thought you were going to follow me everywhere? So weak in your resolve?" She mocks me.

"Well, I am a gentleman who respects people's wishes and I can't have you get bored of me so easily. So, I'll follow you but while giving you your personal space." I wink at her, only to have her shake her head and stand in front of the mirror. She applies the vermilion in her hair before putting on some bracelets and turning to me.

"Don't you have to get ready? If you are late, I am leaving without you." She warns me.

I realise that I am getting really late and rush inside the washroom to get ready quickly or else Samyra is sure to leave me and go.
