Piyashi's Pov
I wake up smiling and hungry.After getting ready,I see Ritu in the kitchen taking something out of the oven.
I grin,"Ritu,is that chocolate chip cookies!?"I ask and she smiles,"Yes,I got some recipes from the internet after tasting how good those pancakes were."
I hug her,"You're the best,Ritu!May God bless you and your future children and grandchildren!"I say excitedly, eyeing the cookies.
She smiles,shaking her head."Let's eat!"We go to the dining room and start eating some cookies and drinking coffee.The cookies are delicious.I can finish all these by myself.
"Piya! I'll be right back after taking the next batch out!"she says.I nod ,eating the last cookie on my plate.I frown still feeling like I need more cookies in my tummy.
"Piya,do you want more or shall I have them?"she teases from the kitchen and I gasp.
"Don't you dare!"I yell.
I start running to the kitchen to get the last batch of goodies when my husband comes out from nowhere, standing in front of me.I accidentally tackle him to the ground and I end up on top of him.I gasp, getting up slightly seeing that he is still and his eyes is closed.
It's official!I killed Aryan!I killed my husband!
I poke his face,"Aryan!Are you alive!?"
He groans while opening his eyes and I sigh in relief.I remember that I'm still on him and I blush , getting off.He tries to stand up and I gasp,"Are you okay!?Did you get hurt?"He winces,"My....back...and...I think...that I twisted my ankle..."he grits out and my eyes widen.
"Oh.I'm so sorry,Aryan.I didn't see you."I call Ritu to help me and we help him to his room.We place him on his bed and Ritu leaves to get some hot oil.I look around his room and I see that there's a TV in here.This is the first time that I'm seeing his room.It looks nice...but everything is one colour.The walls are grey,the floor is grey,the bed is grey and even the ceiling is grey!
"What are you still doing in my room?"he asks , narrowing his eyes at me.
I feel guilty that I hurt him.I should've been more careful."I'm sorry,Aryan.I—"
"Stop! I'm fine!In fact I need to be getting back to work right now."He says,trying to wake up but I walk closer and push him flat down.
"No! You're not going anywhere! Stay right here!"
He frowns,"Are you ordering me!?"
I nod,"Yes,I am.If you don't listen and you go to work today—I will follow you everywhere and baby you until it's time to come home."
He sighs,"Fine,I know that you will do it."
I smile ,seeing Ritu coming in with the oil.His eyebrows furrow,"What's that for?"
"For your massage,obviously!Prepare to be impressed by my skills."
He looks at me in horror,"NO!"
*****************
After many protests,I finally finish massaging his back and ankle.Thankfully it's not sprained.I had almost forgotten that I had kissed his cheek last night.Neither of us brought it up and he doesn't seem to be avoiding me.It seems like he doesn't care or like it didn't even happen.I feel relieved and also disappointed but I don't want him to ignore me so I won't remind him about it.
He rests in his room until I come back with lunch.After eating lunch together in his room,I get bored.
"Let's play a game!"I say excitedly.
"No."he says calmly.
"What about 'I spy'?"
"No."
"A singing game?"
"NO!"he says, raising his voice a little.
Wow,he really doesn't like when I sing!But what's wrong with my singing!It's not bad!
I pout,"Okay.Hey,how about we watch a movie!?"He looks at me for a moment and then shrugs,"Fine.It's better than that singing game!"
"Hey,I have a good singing voice!"After bickering about what movie to choose because he wanted to watch action and I want to watch horror...we finally choose an action-comedy movie that we both like.I sit next to him on the bed,making myself comfortable.
He glares at me as I cover myself with the blanket,"What do you think you are doing!?"I snuggle deeper into the warm blanket,"It's comfortable.I'm not sitting at the edge of the bed and break my back.Then we both will have a bad back and I will take my revenge because it will be your fault and—"
"Enough!Fine,stay there!But don't come closer!"he warns and I nod happily.We start watching the movie and I actually enjoy watching it with Aryan.Although he doesn't say anything throughout the movie unlike me who was asking if he was okay every few minutes.He didn't even smile at the funny parts while I laughed like a hyena on drugs.
Then at almost the ending of the movie,I started feeling tired and yawn.My eyes started closing and I blink fast,trying to keep my eyes open.
****************
I hum, feeling so warm and comfortable.I hug my pillow tighter and then I stiffen as my brain starts functioning and I realise something.My eyes fly open and widens as I look at the position that we are in.We are both sleeping facing each other.My head is on his shoulder and I'm clinging to him like a koala and his hands are wrapped around my waist,his face buried against my neck. I feel his warm breath against my neck and I gasp.Too close....my face heats up and then I feel him stirring.
I shut my eyes quickly and I feel him pulling away from me.I almost sigh in disappointment as his warmth leaves me and he gets off the bed.I open my eyes as I hear the room door close and I take off the blanket.I feel my heart beat racing and I bite my lip.I put my hand over my heart and sigh,"Stop it!Stop whatever you're doing!It is dangerous!"I scold it and then I get up.
I throw a pillow at the door in frustration,"It's all your fault,Aryan!You should've woken me up.Now look what you did!"I whine and then I hear my phone ringing.I grab it from the table and my eyes widen as I see that it's the one person I least expected to phone me.
My sister Anya.

SNEAK PEAK
I start stuffing clothes into my bag and sigh.He wants this so I will give him what he wants.After packing ,I check if I got all my documents for my flight and I nod in approval.
Should I tell him?Will he stop me?Will he miss me?
Ha!What are you thinking,Piyashi!?He won't care!It won't make a difference to him.I roll my heavy suitcase down the stairs, heading for the living room.Aryan looks up from his laptop as he hears the suitcase dragging against the stairs.
Aryan frowns as he sees me walking towards him with the suitcase.
He eyes the suitcase in my hand."What are you doing?"
I breath in and out slowly,"I'm leaving."
