"Hey bro, good to see you back! How's your new life treating you huh? and how's my sister in law?"
Rohan said after he was done with the warmup and sat next to me.
"Shut up Rohan" I said while lifting the weights.
"Oh come on dude! Now it's too much, leave your arrogance. And I hope you don't have the same attitude towards her like you have with your father!"
I shot him a death glare and he kept mute for next few moments before he spoke
"Have your extended family arrived yet?"
I suddenly remembered! They must be home today and I had to talk to her to keep her mouth shut and behave normal in their presence. It's kind of a ritual or a tradition we can say  in our community that after the  wedding, the groom's family gathers and stays at their house for 3-4 days and give their blessings to the newly wed couple. We were a nuclear family as my father shifted from his hometown and made a whole new life here. Ridhima didi got married 2 years ago and now me ,ma and dad are in the house. Not to mention her too. I had 3 uncles and 1 aunt and they were a pretty big family and are living together. But it was time for them to come and Rashmi bhua is always the overexcited one so I was sure she must have came today only.
"Not yet but they will come, soon. And I am getting enough of her at home so don't talk on that topic. Today is an important meeting and I want everything to be perfect. I want that investors to invest in my project so that we can proceed with it. I don't want my father to taunt me again on some baseless issues".
"Don't worry Varun. All the presentations are ready and I know you will convince them easily" .
Rohan said.
I moved to do deadlift to ease myself down. I spent two hours in the gym doing heavyweight exercises and then went home to get ready for office. Today's meeting was very important and I had a packed schedule so I don't have to face her again till evening. I sat in my car and while driving an idea crossed my mind and I changed my path.

Kaynat's pov~
It's been quite a time until I started cooking and now I was getting familiar of where all the ingredients were placed. I examined the fridge and it was really well maintained. His diet chart was there too and attendees made only what is there on that chart. It seemed he really cared about his health. Oh now I get it! Maybe he went to gym.I do not really cared about or like gym guys or muscular men in general but I had heard that women prefer fit men. I also never got to date anyone as I used to be in the office and hardly went out so I don't have much  knowledge on the topic.I also observed  his many portraits and pictures hanging in the house and he looked dashing in all of them. In his room also I saw his picture at the wall over the headboard where he was sitting on a chair in royal attire and I secretly admired it.
While roaming in the house, I came across a swimming pool too!(my house never had one but I always wanted a pool)
He had not returned yet and I was getting more and more hungry with every passing second. But I need to wait for HIM to make sure he doesn't get another reason to get angry. However I also got shivers at the thought of having breakfast with him as it was going to be the first time we were going to eat together and maybe it will help to improve something between us. My maasi secretly gave me a watch and told me to gift him at our wedding night, but the circumstances didn't gave me a chance to give him the gift. Neither did he gave me anything.
I smiled sadly and sighed. I called ma and asked about cooking something for aunt as they will be home soon. Attendees helped me in cooking and gradually I was getting familiar with them too.Ma told me to make light breakfast and again I heated the pan and started making chapatis. Atleast I was not getting bored.

The door opened and I could hear the sound of footsteps from the entrance. My body shivered a little as the sound increased. He stopped near the kitchen and I could feel his gaze on me. I didn't lift my eyes to look at him and continued my work but my hands trembled.
"Everyone Leave!"
I got shocked as I could feel the attendees around me leaving and he still looking at my side. I too started moving out but got froze when he spoke
"Not you"
Immidiately I got conscious about my look. I was in a messy bun and my saree was not in a proper way. I mentally cursed myself but suddenly gasped as he started walking towards me. He got near me and I could see his perfect jawline and his preying eyes looking into mine. I moved back at every step he took towards me. Not in a second my back touched the kitchen shelf and I had nowhere to go. He smirked at my stupidty and came dangerously close to me and now there were only inches left between us. He placed his hands on the kitchen shelf just few centimeters away from my waist and I was sure he could sense the goosebumps off my body that he was giving me. He bended and came to my level and stared at me for a second before shifting his gaze towards his gym bag. He left me there and went on to open the bag and took out a black box from it. He took out a long golden chain from the box. It was a long chain and it can't be worn as a bracelet or a pendant so what it was for?, I thought in my head.
He again came near me and opened my clutcher. My hair fell open and he looked at me intensely while my hair touched the kitchen shelf. Then he snaked his arm around my waist, before I could comprehend anything. He was drenched in sweat and I could tell he did some heavyweight exercises in the gym. I felt a warm sensation with his touch but also got very nervous of the situation I was in.
"Mr. Seh..gal wha..t a..re you.. do..ing"
I said with my trembling voice not meeting his gaze. My chest was doing constant up and downs and no matter how hard I try but his touch was making me insane and this time his hand was on my waist.
"Calm down" he said in a low and a little frustrating tone and wrapped that chain around my waist.
Oh so it was a waist chain!
He left hold of my waist and bend down at his one knee. I felt insane emotions in my head and my knees got weak at his sudden action. He started securing the lock of the chain and his fingers frequently touching my belly making me shiver.
"Stay still"
He told me and I immediately froze.
When he was done with his job he stood up and looked at me. I lifted my gaze up with lots of confusion in my head.
"If anyone asks you about the gift I gave you, tell them about this"
He spoke and I understood his intention.
I got back to my senses and felt a little embarrassed of what I was thinking earlier. Before I could go he caged me in the same way he did before.
"I want a fcking reply"
"O.k.a..y"
"And what did you call me before?"
"..Mr..  s..ehgal."
"Yeah, forget that and call what a wife will call her husband from now on."
"Hu.h?"
"Yes, and one more thing, I don't want any drama in front of my family so behave nicely in front of them!"
And now I got it and analyzed the complete situation. He was staring at me and I was not understanding why.
"I am waiting" He spoke.
"O..Kay.. "
"Good!"
He said and started moving away when he stopped and turned back again to look at me.

"The thought of even being near you brings me disgust, I hope you know that!"
He said harshly and it shook me to my soul.
Tears started forming in my eyes and I saw him disappearing with blinking eyes.
I knew this was an agreement but this kind of hate was not something I expected.
I wiped my tears and touched the golden waist chain with misery.
Why was he this cold?
