perfumed words

Chapter 16 : The CAT

I think . It was better to cry my heart out in my own room than being stuck with him in the same room .
I was sitting on the couch , waiting for him to just get out of the fvcking bathroom so that I could go and change into some comfy clothes .
" Make it fast " I ordered .
I got no answer for a few seconds .
" Why ? , it's my bathroom , I'll take my time ." He said in a cold tone .
I just listened to it and gave no response .
His room is large , I know I've been here before but I am still not familiar with it . The calender beside the room door displays 18 December 2023. I may end this marriage after eight months but I will never be able to forget this day because this day would be the day when I took my first step to change my life .

I diverted my gaze from the calender to the bathroom door when I saw him coming out finally and passing me a cold gaze before going straight to the dressing mirror .

I took my steps and entered the bathroom without saying anything .
After a few minutes of hot shower , I finally came out with the towel wrapped on my head .
I saw him there laying on the bed , reading some kind of book , by  looking at the cover it should be a dark romance .

I looked at him and then unwrapped the towel . Before saying anything , I grabbed a blanket and a cushion that was supporting his head on the comfy bed . I snatched it rapidly , leading him to divert his gaze from the book to me .

" What's your matter ? " he said in an annoying tone .

"I will sleep on the couch and you may enjoy your bed Mr . Ballah " I said  in a fake voice  after bowing a little to show off and then turning my face towards the couch .

" No need for that " he said in a quite tone . I turned to meet his eyes .

" Then , are you going to sleep on the couch and offer me the bed ? , something like this ? , which happens in  cheap romance books and movies ?" I said while making an annoyed  face and  not even flinching a bit from his stare .

" No , when did I say that I will sleep on the couch and offer you my bed ?"  He said while forming a smirk on his face .

" Then ? " I said in a more annoyed tone .

" You can share the bed with me ". He said in a flirty tone .
I was just about to turn but froze in my place after hearing it . My heartbeat ran fast . I could barely breath but still tried to look as normal as possible .
I think my cheeks are getting hot , nooooo
Am I blushing?  , please no , not in front of him .

I don't know what's wrong with him . Sometimes he's cruel and sometimes his nature changes in a second .

" Why are you blushing ? " He said with a straight face .
Noooo , did he notice it ?

I think , I am seriously out of breath now and can't act any normal anymore . My breath hitched . I started breathing heavily and he fvcking noticed everything .

It was not planned , not planned to look this weak in front of him . Why ? , just why ? , by his one sentence ? , noo . But then why ? , why do I feel like crying but can't . Because I don't deserve anything . These flirting dialogues are not made for me , they were never .

My eyes were filled with the fresh tears and I  was controlling them till the end but I failed . A tear escaped and fell from my eyes .

He noticed it and his smirk fell as soon as he witnessed my wet cheeks . I tried my best to hide but could not .
He stood up with a cold face without wasting a second he  grabbed a cushion from the bed , came and stood beside me .

" Don't be this weak , it was a joke " he said in a cold tone before passing me and approaching the couch behind me .

I wiped my cheeks before turning towards him .
" No need , just sleep on your bed " I said while snatching the cushion and looking straight in his siren eyes .

" Just go and sleep before I pick you up and throw you on the bed " he said in the darkest tone  , stopping me to continue snatch his cushion .
I stepped back and looked at him with an annoyed face before turning my back to him .

" You married me because I needed your help and now it's my responsibility to keep you okay , until and unless you bother my buisness" . He said .
Without giving any response , I threw my body on the bed and covered myself fully with the heavy , warm blanket . I snuggled in the blanket and closed my eyes until the light goes off .
I kept thinking stuff until it was midnight and then eventually fell asleep .

                                  *******

" Good morning dad " I said while tying my shoelase .
" Good morning , college time ?" He asked .
" Yeah " I said while putting a large smile on my pale face .
" Oh , Aryaman will be dropping you , right ?" He said .
" Uh -h , I don't think-" I was cut in mid sentence .
" Yes dad " said Aryaman  , in a cold tone while walking through the stairs with his bag hanging on his right shoulder .
" Oh good then " said dad while leaving the hall with a bread toast in his hand .
" I hope you already had your breakfast and if not then have it already " he said after reaching me and standing right beside me .
" No , I am not feeling like having anything " I said in a low tone .
" Just stop it already , stop seeking my attention like you did last night and you're doing it right now " he said in a loud tone whereas my stare froze at him .
" You think that I am starting to care about you but it's not what you think . I would have not  fvcking cared about if you are sleeping good or not  , eating regularly or not and etc . It's just because for these eight months you are my responsibility and I never take my words back and understand that " he said in one flow without even stuttering in between .
" Just understand that there's a difference between caring and being responsible for what you own " he said before walking out of hall through the door whereas I was left dumbfounded in between , my stare still frozen . I think he just took revenge of last night .

When did I say that I want his attention . No way .
I don't want him even around me but ... It's just because that was the only way I could choose .

Aryaman pov

I just needed to make thing clear .
And that's okay .
I know she doesn't want any attention but I said that stuff because I needed to make clear things for future .
I don't want her to develope feeling for me in the future that's why I am preparing this from the present .

I need to also remember that I married Kavya because  I would have not handled that annoying bitch who has a crush on me .
It's better to stay enemies with someone rather than being annoyed  by someone for the whole  lifetime who I am clearly not interested in .
But I am not saying that I am being a fake enemy for Kavya to be away , that's a cruel truth .
I don't like this bitch either .
