AMRIT'S POV

We are again together. But something seems different.

ODD.

She smiles. But still her smile feels fake. As if she has thoughts dug deep within her heart.

She cares for me as fuck. Cooks for me.

She helps me change my shirt even though I have completely recovered.

But things seem different.

HER SILENT TREATMENT.

It's not like she isn't talking to me.

She does talk to me.

But only 'point-to-point'.

I ll give you an example.

A week back she was getting ready and I normally said "aapne bindi nahi lagayi".
(You didn't put on your bindi)

And she just replied.."mera mood nahi. Moreover it's my choice."
(I am not in the mood)

I sighed and went near her and stood behind her.

Just looking in the mirror at my mesmerizingly beautiful wife.

I leaned down to match her 5 ft height and whispered in her ear,"yeh bhi hai, aapka mood bann na is the most important thing ever."

She blushed.

It was a complete romantic moment..
So I bent down even more and made her face me.

I held her chin and she closed her eyes.

I smiled and went more close to her closing my eyes too.

Just a few inches away from her lips she said..
"Cooker!"

I opened my eyes with surprise and asked "cooker?"

"Amrit daal chadhayi thi cooker pe..bye bye."

And she ran away.

😊

No no its not left here only.

Let me tell one more.

Its about day before yesterday.

She was helping me eat food.

Even though I can eat by myself, she thinks it still hurts if I pick up the spoon.

And I let her think that.

Ofcourse that way she will feed me herself.

So I was on the bed. All shirtless.

She was feeding me the "moong daal but without tadka" because she says it's healthy.

All the time I was looking at her.

But she didn't say a word.

All silent.

MANHEER AND SILENT.

Imagine how awkward that was.

When I ate all, she was about to leave but I held her wrist and pulled her close.

She fell on me.

Her hair was wet and the way it felt on my face was heaven.

I parted it aside with one hand and was about to speak when she said,"Amrit.."

Still lost in her eyes I said.."ji meri jaan."

"Kal se.."

"Ji"
