The Man Next Door🤍

Chapter 31

I close my eyes hoping the next morning brings us better things and maybe a good conversation between us but my hopes were crushed when the beep on his phone makes me open my eyes

I walk to our bed and grab his phone, another picture of that girl but this time she wasn't in a dress with a low neckline, she was in lingerie and I am not doing this anymore.

I trust Manik but I don't trust anyone else's intentions with my husband and I get he isn't ready to take but he doesn't have a choice anymore.

The next morning I got ready and was cleaning up our suitcases, unpacking when Manik groaned in his sleep stirring

"Babyyy" he screams

"Shh relax, I'm literally in the room" I mumble

He opens one eye and looks at me, he hums in satisfaction grabbing my arm leaning over the bed since I was sitting right next to the bed on the floor

"Good morning hun" he whispers kissing my head

"Morning, sleep okay?" I ask

"Sort of, are you okay?" He asks

"Not really" I mumble folding his t shirts

"What's wrong?' He asks running his fingers through my hair and for the first time instead of feeling comfort, I felt sick, physically sick

"Nandini, whats wrong?" He asks when I pull back from him

"I just don't feel well right now" I tell him

He frowns sitting up on the bed

"What do you mean? should we go to the doctor?" he asks

"No"

"Then whats going on?"

"I don't know mani, i wish I could tell you but nothing makes sense"

'What is this about?" He asks as if he has no clue at all

"It's about a girl sending my husband pictures in lingerie at 2 in the morning, now that doesn't make me feel good instead I feel sick, physically sick to see it. What makes me feel worse is the fact that you don't talk to me about it so I can't, I can't be okay right now and no doctor can fix it Manik"

"We are still on this aren't we?" He says getting up

"I don't know why you are behaving like this" I whisper

"Because I told you I can't talk about it"

"we need to manik, this will turn into a misunderstanding, I don't want that"

"Well right now if you don't stop asking it will turn into a fight"

"A fight about what manik? See I don't get what is going on, I am so clueless and hurt but all you are doing right now is not giving me that assurance that we are okay" I mumble honestly

His body language had already changed, eyes filled with anger

"Hasn't even been a minute since I woke up and you are already fighting with me" he says taking his t shirt off

"You are treating me like shit manik" I confess

For the first time in our relationship, official or not, I felt like I wasn't being treated well and that's hurts me, it scares me

"Wow, not even a month into this marriage and you think im not treating you well?"

"This has nothing"

'Forgot it Nandini, this is exactly fucking why I didn't want to be in a relationship. This is why I didn't want to around you in the beginning and this is why I wasn't home last night" he says
