Vrinda's Pov:
What nonsense is he talking about?. How can I leave him and go when he becomes my savior?. He was blabbering something, and I stopped him.
Vrinda: " Abba, stop it, bava. What are you talking about. ?. Are you out of your mind. Let me be honest with you. The day you tied this thali in my neck that day, I decided to give us a chance. I 'll never break this marriage, and I can never leave you. ".
I don't know when I became this bold, but I am happy that I confessed something that came to my mind without shuttering. He was first shocked, but when I shook him , he gave a bright smile and hugged me . It was not like the earlier one, which we shared yesterday. He hugged me as I was in his possession . He wasn't even letting me breathe properly. His hold was so tight as if someone was snatching something precious from him. He was literally crushing my bones with his hug. I started to wiggle from his hold, but it was next to impossible.
As if God heard my pleas, Grandma came to the room at the same time.
Grandma: "Oh! God .. you naughty people. Don't you know how to behave? You are in the varanda. Have some decency. You have rooms right, and there is time for everything, and Arjun tries to control yourself. Vrinda go to your room now. "
Arjun: " Oh!. Grandma. It's not what you think . I am just hugging her. Vrinda help me na".
Grandma: "What, Vrinda. I know what you are up to. Poor girl. You are crushing her bones. She can't handle you. Let her go.".
Vrinda chuckled at his expression and made her way to the room with her Grandma.
Arjun just stared at her retreating figure and was in his thoughts. .." If Vrinda can't handle a mere hug, then how will she be able to handle me when I make love to her?". He blushed at the thought and remembered the conversation which he had with Vrinda. He can feel the genuinity in her word, and he felt peaceful that Vrinda would never leave him. But one question bothered him. He wanted to know the reason why Vrinda wanted to keep their marriage a secret.
He went back to his room to have his sleep.
The early morning, Vrinda got ready early to help her Grandma with breakfast. They prepared Dosa with peanut chutney and idlis. Grandma made her special gunpowder (karra powder) for breakfast. Meanwhile they had their coffee. They had a small chit chat, and Arjun made his way to the kitchen. He had his coffee and asked Vrinda to serve him breakfast as he was feeling hungry.
So, she served him and was about to go when he caught hold of her wrist and made her sit beside him. He wanted to have his breakfast with her, but Vrinda didn't want her Grandma to be left alone. She called her Grandma and all the three had their breakfast. Grandma and Vrinda resumed their work in the kitchen while Arjun went back to his room. He made a call to Govind and spoke to him for some time.
In the afternoon, when Grandma was resting after her lunch, Arjun made his way to Vrinda's room. He wanted to talk to her but decided to wait until her Grandma was asleep.
Arjun: " You want to stay in the outhouse and want our marriage to remain a secret. May I know the reason, Vrinda. ".
Vrinda: " Bava , it's nothing important to discuss. I want to stay there, that's it. ".
Arjun: " Vrinda I 'll respect your privacy but don't you feel it is fair on my part to know the reason why you want to stay separately.
We are married for God sake dammit".Vrinda flinched at his tone. She gulped in nervousness but decided to say what was bothering her.
Vrinda: " Bava, I was never comfortable in that bungalow. I don't want you to face any trouble or danger and I don't want to be the reason for any misfortunes. ".
Arjun: " Why do you think that something might happen to me? What misfortune will happen to me if we stay together? ".
Vrinda : " I am an unlucky person. My bad luck should not affect you or Lakshya. Because of me, we lost our parents. I can't lose you , Lakshya or grandma now. Please understand bava. I don't want my ill fate to affect you people. ".
Arjun: " What nonsense is this Vrinda. Who will believe in all these? Who said you are the reason for our parents death?. I want you to stay with us. If the place is a problem with you, we all can shift to some other place . "
Vrinda: " Please bava. Don't force me to stay with you . I made up my mind. I am staying in the outhouse and that's final. "
Arjun: " ok, for how long do you want our marriage to remain a secret? And why do you want to hide it. Are you being threatened by someone?"
Vrinda: "No, why do you ask such questions?".
Arjun: " Then what is the reason Vrinda, I know that you are hiding something big from me. I know you were kidnaped and that was the reason why I came to India all of a sudden. I am worried about you and I can't take any risk concerning your safety. Even Grandma knows about your kidnaped. That was the reason why she hurried our marriage. I thought her reason was valid and agreed with her plan. Do you want to tell me something about the kidnap? ".
Vrinda: " I am sorry to make you people worried about me. But bava, I can't tell you about the person who is behind my kidnapping because i dont remember him properly. I want you to please give me some time. Trust me, I 'll not let him escape from you after I get all the required evidence behind the plot."
Arjun: " Vrinda, I told you earlier that I want your trust. I know that I have to earn it but please believe in me. I don't want you to get into trouble again. "
Vrinda: " I have trust in you bava. But I need time and situation are not in my favor bava"
Arjun: "Vrinda, trust is the basic factor for any relationship. I dont know why you are not having a little trust in me . I hope one day I will gain your trust ."
Vrinda: " Bava, I'm hiding something from you not because of my trust issue. Sometimes, relations play their role in our life. But I believe in you that you will not leave the person.
Arjun: " Remember one thing, Vrinda, nothing is more important to me than you and your safety."
Saying this, he went back to his room, not understanding why Vrinda was not trusting him. On the other hand Vrinda was hesitant to reveal the identity of the person who was behind her kidnaped because she doesn't know whether her bava will believe her or not.
