My Bodyguard

11

It's the weekend and I was making lunch, peeking at Aarav that was sleeping like always.

It's been a few weeks since my nightmare or whatever.

We've been like always since but I've noticed Aarav holds me closer than he use to. I'm not sure why but I'm okay with it.

He's still stays silent but he's attentive. He listens when I talk, he observes what I do and I like being with him.

I always feel excited when he comes home, staring at me with his grey eyes with a small smile.

His eyebrows that scrunches when he's angry and his messy hair that never stays however he tries to style it.

He's so cute and handsome, caring and literally a man that I never thought he would be. I'm very- very fond of him.

I like my husband too much.

"Hi." I broke away from my thoughts, looking at Aarav and he leans down, holding my head and kisses at the side of my head, making me smile.

He's been doing this every morning.

"I made lasagna! And I made it extra spicy for us, the sauce was really good." I rambled and he cracks a small smile, nodding his head.

"I'll sweep and mop. Go watch a movie." He said pushing me to the living room.

He always does this every time he's on his off day.

He'll clean the whole place even though there's no much things to clean. I always leave it tidy but he still wants to mop.

I just don't say anything.

He sat beside me after cleaning, holding out a plate of hot lasagna to me and I mumbled a thank you, taking it from him.

We ate together and I was focusing on a cartoon, chuckling by myself.

Then, I remembered something.

I stood up, going to our room and I felt his eyes following me but he didn't say anything.

I rustled through my clothes drawer, taking it in my hand and went back to him.

"What are you doing-" Aarav stopped talking when he saw what I was holding.

"I bought it for us! Give me your hand." I sat beside him, putting the ring box down and took his hand.

I've been working for over a month and I get my salary everyday. I give Aarav every week and I bought this rings with half of what I had and another half went into my savings.

I don't like guys staring at me sometimes whenever I work at the front and some don't get convinced that I am married.

I know rings symbolises that I'm married and I want to look like a married woman.

So, I bought rings to show that I am married. I've seen the maids wore rings to show that they are married.

I want to do the same.

"I only bought silver, sorry." I mumbled, wearing it on his ring finger and it fitted him perfectly, making me smile.

"It fits!" I said holding his hand, smiling by myself.

"I should buy for you. Don't waste your money on this." He said sternly and I looked at him, feeling a little bummed.

"But I wanted to buy for you- and for me. I just wanted something to show that I'm married. I don't like some guys staring at me when I work at the front. I rarely do but when I do, I need something." I mumbled, wearing my own silver ring.

I bought both of it plain, that's the only one I could afford but I still love it.

"You should've told me."

"I don't want you to be angry or stop me from working. I like it there." I mumbled and he wrapped his arm around me, making me look at him.

"I protect you, that's my responsibility and you should tell me if something bothers you, okay?" I nodded, looking at him.

"Thank you. I like it." He said kissing my cheek and I smiled, holding his hand.

"I like it too! We're matching." I grinned, leaning on him and he kept holding me, leaning on my head.

I kept staring at his hand, rubbing his fingers slowly because he had scars on the back of his hand. He has a cut on his eyebrow.

He totally looks rough but he's a sweet guy.

"We should take a picture." Aarav said suddenly and he took his phone out, making me smile.

I showed my hand and so did he, having a small smile.

But his phone rang suddenly, which is weird because his phone never rings on a off day. He answered it, glancing at me.

The other guy said something and he just hummed, putting his phone down.

"Your father asked for us."
