Continuation...

After sometime, Maa called me for breakfast. I took the seat and sat beside me. I really wanted to roll my eyes when she started serving me.

She made gajar ka halwa for us as today is her first rasoi while she also made Naan, butter paneer too. The food is really very tasty. I want to compliment her but I control myself otherwise my family will tease us.

Vihaan was also here. No, I didn't invited him. He always came here without invitations.

Maa papa gave her sagun and vihaan and Kabir both didn't get tired of appreciating her food and her too.

They all asked with me and I nodded my head a little shyly saying it was delicious.

At room,

She entered and I smiled at her while she looked down. I took steps towards her but she took backward steps.

"Ishika...can we talk?" I said and she nodded. I sat down on couch and patted seat beside me. She looked down and sat beside me.

"Sarthak ji...I am not ready for that" she said slowly. She took my name first time. Her voice is so sweet like her but wait what she is speaking? I stopped her as she is thinking very wrong about me.

"Be comfortable....I am not like that person. I just wanted to befriend you. You can make yourself comfortable around me" I said and she nodded.

"Just I want to ask something!" I said little hesitate and she looked little scared. Why? I don't know as usual.

"I just want to ask something!" I said a little hesitate and she looked a little scared. Why? I don't know as usual.

"Are you forced into this marriage?" I asked her clearly and she looked at me for seconds making my heart beat race in fear of losing her. I don't want to lose her. She shook her head in no and looked down.

This irritates me a lot. I saw her today, She talks freely in front of my family but with me she can't be able to utter a single word.

I was just about to ask her if she has any problem with me but before she speaks.

"I am not comfortable with this surroundings" I slowly held her hand and squeezed it.

"I am always there for you" I said with a genuine smile to make her comfortable but she pulled her hand back and ran outside the room which made me a little gloomy. Why is she behaving like this?

The whole day passed like this. She didn't ignore me fully but didn't talk to me either.

Can't she talk?

I sighed. This is frustrating. I don't know what should I do? I don't want to get angry on her or scared her.

But she is behaving so rude with me.
