Chavi opened her eyes and was surprised to find him there .
She blinked her eyes not believing that he was actually here .
How are you feeling now ....he asked caressing her cheek and she nodded at him not able to form any word as her throat clogged with emotions all of a sudden finding him beside her .
A lone tear escaped her eyes that he hurriedly wiped away .
Shhhhh...don't cry . I am sorry.....he apologized again as he held himself responsible for her pain .
She shook her head in No .
Anir_udh......her chin wobbled and she let out a cry making him pull her to his chest .
Chavi cried her heart out in his arms.
He rubbed her back and kissed her hair repeatedly telling her that he was with her .
Shhhh...don't cry now. You are already not well and crying will exhaust you more ....he said wiping her tears.
He laid on the bed taking her in his arms .
I know I got held up in work and couldn't give you enough time . But how can you be so careless with yourself. Just because we argued doesn't mean you neglect your health.....he softly scolded her making her snuggle more into him .
I am sorry. It's just that I was not feeling ok and on top of that we fought and all this happened....she said playing with the button of his shirt.
Is there something else bothering you ....he asked looking at her and she looked away .
Nooo...she whispered laying back on the pillow.
He turned to her balancing his head on his arm and made her look at him.
What is it ??? He asked firmly knowing she was hiding something.
She nodded in No and he glared at her making her spill out the truth .
She cried after telling him about the change in  behaviour of her Bhabi towards her.
Anirudh consoled her but he was hell angry at Prerna for behaving that way.
I couldn't even share this with anyone. I felt so alone. For the first time I felt like I am an orphan... she said and it hurt him even more by listening to this from   her .
He cursed himself for not being available for her .
I am there with you and I promise I won't let you feel that way ever again ....he said kissing her head .
Let me talk to Prerna .How could she behave like that . Just because I rejected her sister's proposal she is behaving like that ....he said anger is clearly evident in his tone .
Please no ....Aapko meri Kasam hai .(You have my swear).
Don't say anything to Bhabi . She is behaving well with me now and also taking care of me Chavi said making him sigh .
But Chavi .....he tried but she pleaded with her eyes .
Okay . I will not say anything but if she continues this I won't back off from confronting her ....he said making her hug him .
Okay....she whispered pressing a kiss on his chest .
And promise me that you will take care of yourself and would tell me everything....he said making her node .
And don't cry now ...he instructed glaring at playfully making her chuckle.
Let's sit on the balcony....she said and he nodded taking her to the balcony.
They settled on the hanging chair with Chavi in Anirudh's lap .
She rested her head on his shoulder closing her eyes as she finally felt at peace after so long .
Anirudh caressed her hair wrapping his arm around her waist.
Office nahi Gaye aaj....she asked .
(Didn't attend the office today)
Half day liya hai ....he said making her smile .
(Have taken half day leave).
Aap Ghar kese aa gye ekdum se . Merko believe hi nahi hua starting mei that you really are here ...she amused .
(How suddenly you came home . I couldn't believe initially that you were really here)
Hmmmm ku hoga believe....tujhe to lagta hai ki mei pyar hi nahi karta na hi teri care karta hu ....he said making her look at him with a pout .
(Hmmm...why would you believe.... according to you I don't love you or  care about you )
Gusse mei bol diya tha na . You know that I don't mean any of it ....she said but she looked at the other side making her whine.
(I said all those things in the heat of the moment)
She cupped his cheek turning his face towards herself but he stayed still .
She kissed on his cheek and nuzzled there trying to manofy him while he was thoroughly enjoying it .
She bit on his neck making her hiss and glare at her .
She smiled sheepishly making him shake his head  .
Hadhhh hai...ye bhi koi tarika hota hai kisi ko manane ka  .....he said making her giggle .
(Is this a way to coax someone)
Anirudh smirked suddenly making her raise her eyebrows but then she jerked as he slided his hand inside her top .
He caressed her waist making her hide her face in his neck blushing hard .
Ahhhhhhh.....she moaned in pain as he pinched her waist and glared at him rubbing the area that only made his smirk wider.
A maid entered her room with the tea and snacks and Chavi got up from his lap and walked into the room to bring the tray in the balcony.
By the way aapne kaha ki mujhe lagta hai ki aap pyar nahi karte ....that means mujhe galat lagta hai kya .....she asked cheekily making him look away to hide his smile .
(By the way you said that I think you don't love me ... that mean I am thinking wrong)
Bataiye na Anirudh . Mujhe galat lagta hai kya....she asked sitting on couch beside him waiting desperately for his answer.
(Tell me Anirudh, Am I  wrong)
Before he could say his phone ringed making Chavi curse under her breath.
It was basically from his office informing him that the meeting will start after lunch and he was needed to be present there .
They had their tea and snacks .
Chavi insisted him to have lunch with them but he denied saying that he will have it after meeting and he is not hungry at the moment.
She pouted looking at him and he couldn't help but peck her pout making her blush .
Mat jaaiye....she urged .
(Don't go ).
I also don't want to go but I have a presentation today after lunch ...he explained .
She hugged him tightly not wanting him to leave but knew that his work was important too .
Anirudh kissed her forehead asking her to take care of herself and call him if she needs anything making her smile .
He turned to leave , she was upset but smiled for his sake .
And yeahhhh tujhe  galat nahi bohot galat lagta hai ...he said turning to her making her shocked and left chuckling at her shocked expressions.
( And yeahhh....you are highly mistaken )
