Tangled Love

Akshita's pov

I flip the parantha on the pan as the aroma fills in the kitchen. Listening to the clinking of bangles I turn to see my mother in law approaching me.

"Breakfast is ready ??" She asks and I give a nod.

"Okay let's serve it on the table your Papa is waiting for it" She moves to the dining table with serving bowls in her hand and i follow her. I serve breakfast on the table and my father in law smiles at me.

I am blessed with best in laws. They treat me like their own daughter.

"Beta today Aditya is coming back know when will he reach here ?" He asks me and my body became numb.

"Voh Papa......." I open my mouth to speak but words didn't come out.

What should I tell him that I don't know about his whereabouts.

"Bhabhi" I heard a scream from behind and turns to see my brother in law Ishan. He grabs a chair and plop on it.

What a timing..... Ishu you deserve a treat.

"Bring my tiffin fast bhabhi i am getting late" He says stuffing parantha in his mouth and I smile at him. I went back to the kitchen and grab my phone from kitchen slab before sending Ishan's tiffin through our maid Anju. I was about to call him but my hands halts on its own.

Come on Akshita he is your husband....you can call him. There is no big deal.

Taking a long breath I dial his number  and as expected he didn't receive my calls. I feel a pang on my chest and thought to give it a last try. Thankfully he receives my call this time.

"What ?" He asks in his usual cold voice with a bit of annoyance sending shivers down my spine. Clutching my phone, I try to say and my eyes get close.

Damn I am listening his voice after freaking two weeks. I missed him.
But here he is annoyed.

"Are you there ?? Hello" He asks in a little loud and stern voice. I suck a deep breath calming my throbbing heart.

"Jii--voh papa puch rahe the aap kab aa rhe ho ?" I try my best to not stammer but it doesn't work.

(Father was asking when are you arriving ?)

"I have my flight in the afternoon and I'll be reaching there in the evening " And that's it he hung up the call.

I close my eyes in disappointment and a lone tear escapes from my eyes.

How are you doing ?? Are you fine ?? Nothing. Does he even care about my existence. I am his wife for just namesake.

Composing myself I plaster a fake smile on my face. Coming back to the dinning table I inform Papa about his arrival. After breakfast Papa left for his work and Ishan left for his college. Me and Ma got busy in house hold chores.

Door bell rings making me alert. Ma squeals in happiness, running to open the door. There stood my Husband Aditya Sharma. Tall,fair,handsome man whose looks can make any girl drool. Light honey brown orbs, pointed nose, perfect pink lips, little beard adding to his charm and his silky hairs falling on his forehead in a messy way.

He is cute at the same time hot.

"Akshitaaa" I heard Ma calling my name and i came out of my trance. Ma is looking at me with dubious eyes while he is gazing at me with emotion less face sitting on the couch tiredly.

"Beta bring water for Adi" She asks and I nod running to the kitchen  I come back with a glass of water and keep it on table.

"How was the work beta ?" Ma asks him.
