Why can't you love me? ✔️

Chapter - 7

Sarthak POV

I came to the balcony after our first encounter. I don't know what's her problem? She started crying when I asked her a little loudly. What should I do then?

I can't share this from my younger brother. I think I should tell mom that she is behaving like this with me from starting. Is this normal? Or arrange marriages are this much terrible? I was so happy before our marriage.

I believe in arranged marriages because of my maa papa. They love each other so much. But... Leave it

I calmed myself then thought to say sorry to her. Maybe she wants some time to adjust. But she can at least talk to me like a normal person.

I entered inside the room to just saw she was sleeping peacefully after making me sleepless.

I sighed keeping my hands on my face while sitting on the couch and I don't know when I slept still hoping that everything will be fine soon.

Next morning

I opened my eyes when my alarm Started disturbing me. And heard sound of bangles. I turned to see that Ishika is struggling with her blouse doori. She was wearing a yellow saree. Her hairs were wet as she just came from shower.

I slowly took steps towards her forgetting everything and stood behind her. She looked at me in the reflection of a mirror in horror.

"Can I ?" I asked but lost in her beauty. She was looking so beautiful. She didn't say anything that I took as yes. I held her doori and my hands brushed on her milky white skin which sent shivers to my body. I was shyly smiling while tying. But she did unexpected. She looked at me through the mirror and rans out keeping pallu on other side hiding her blouse.

And again my morning got spoiled because of her. From today I thought to resume office. Otherwise I will get sick from her coldness. She is clearly ignoring me and doesn't want me to interfere.

At breakfast time

Ishika made breakfast with the help of cooks. My mom, dad was praising and my brother was also impressed with her. Only I was fake smiling throughout the breakfast.

"Maa...I think I should resume my work"

"Arey itni bhi jaldi kya hai...abhi tum dono ek dusre ke jaano, samjho" mom said smiling and I was irritated. They all didn't know that we don't even in talking terms. So...understanding is farthest.

Hey what's the hurry...you both should let go of each other now, understand

I smiled "but maa mera kaam karna bhi toh jaruri hai"

But mother, I also have to do my work.

"Bhaiya dikkat kya hai? Mai hoon na" my brother said and dad continued while laughing.

Brother, what is the problem? I am here

"Haa Sarthak tum abhi chooti le lo baad mei nhi milegi"

Yes Sarthak you take leave now, you won't get it later

But I stood up angrily while Ishika held my hand first time and seeing me with pleading eyes.

"Aaj se hi mai office join karunga" I said and left jerking her hand lightly. They will not understand what I am going through. And I don't want to lash at her. It's better if she doesn't come in front of me now.

I will join office from today itself

I quickly got ready for the office and left because I couldn't tolerate her more. She doesn't want me to tell her truth to the family and she doesn't want to talk me too. Wow Just wow.
