Author's POV-
It was 5 and still dark outside.Diya came out of the bathroom, water dripping out of her wet hair.She went straight to the small temple she set up near the living room, when she reached the penthouse and started her daily aarti (veneration).

On completing her pooja,she started preparing the breakfast for Chaitanya.It was confusing,she had no idea what was kept where.And there was no one to help her,but,with loads of efforts,she was ready with the breakfast.
It was almost 8 , she was waiting for Chaitanya to come downstairs and have breakfast,but there was no sign of him reaching soon.She sighed,and left the dining room to gather up the clothes and setting them in the closet.Suddenly,she heard a someone yelling.
"I asked you to prepare the breakfast on time,it's already 8:30 a.m.And I am getting late for the office.".She shivered and timidly went down the stairs,only to find Chaitanya screaming at the top of her lungs."Tumse ek kaam nahi hota?Yahan maze karne ke liye nahi lekar aaya main tumhe",he roared.
("Can't you do one thing properly?I haven't brought you here to enjoy")
"The-the breakfast is-is ready,I left after waiting for an hour for you.You didn't come so---",she spoke."So? So what? I am not going to work according to your convenience girl,you work according to my schedule,even if you have to wait for hours, get it?,Chaitanya said pointing his finger at Diya as she gulped.
"I'll heat the breakfast",she said and ran away.
----------------------
Chaitanya had the breakfast and left without saying a word. Diya looked at the empty plate and exhaled,simply knowing that she would never be appreciated,just as always.
She went upstairs to fold the remaining clothes.
------------------------
It was 1 p.m.She was in the kitchen,cooking the lunch,expecting Chaitanya to be home anytime soon,when the doorbell rang.She answered the door only to find a man standing at the door.He smiled and said,"Good afternoon ma'am,sir has asked me to pick up his lunch"."Sure",she smiled and nodded,"Give me 15 minutes please,it's almost ready".She went into the kitchen to pack his lunch and handed it over to him."Thank you for picking it up",she smiled and closed the door.
As she went back to the kitchen,she realised that she had to clean the whole house as well.It is gonna be long.She tucked her dupatta to the side and started with the cleaning.
Hours went by,she rubbed and cleaned every corner of the house but it didn't seem to end.The house was huge .She was tired by then and decided to make herself a cup of tea. As soon as she got up,her foot slipped on the water on the floor.She winced in pain,but she had to get up anyhow,and despite the severe pain,she went to look for the medicine box.She took out an ointment and applied it on her foot.She looked at the clock,it was already 9 p.m.
He would be furious if the dinner is not ready.
Thinking so,she hurriedly got up from the bed and went to prepare the dinner. She smiled satisfactorily when it was ready and sat on the table,waiting for him.He didn't come.
The time went by.It was 1,Diya fell asleep while sitting on the dining table itself.
Chaitanya's POV-
I was in my cabin when the peon arrived with the lunch.I looked at the box.The aroma of the food was awesome,just like today's breakfast.I had no idea how the girl got to know that paranthas were my favourite.
Mom must have told her.
------------------------
I was hell exhausted.With all the burden of the newly-opened branch,today was actually tiresome.I stretched my arms and looked at my watch.It was 12:30 a.m.I closed my laptop and drove back home.
"Stop it Chaitanya.Look at the road,not at me!",laughed Mrunali."You look pretty today,baby",I replied.
"So what? You are gonna stare at me the whole time?",she asked,smiling.
"If it was possible,then I would look at you for my whole life,meri jaan",I replied and Mrunali slapped my shoulder hard and gestured me to look at the road.
I smiled.It was hard to digest what had happened in my life.I could never blame my Mrunali,for she was helpless.The one to blame is that girl,and she needs to take responsibility of what she had done.
I rang the doorbell.Twice,Thrice.No one answered.I took out the extra pair of keys from my pocket and opened the door.She was asleep,her loud snores were audible.I snapped,"Wonderful! Asleep? As if you had to work a lot today,isn't it?".Hearing me,she work up with a jerk and adjusted her dupatta."No-I-I have prepared the dinner,I was waiting for you",she explained to which I hummed.I went to freshen up.Chaitanya's outfit-
I was coming down the stairs when I noticed her limping while bringing the food.I shrugged it off as I simply didn't care. On finishing the dinner,I was about to leave when I heard a thud sound in the kitchen.I went running towards the kitchen only to find her holding her foot in pain.
"Can't you do anything properly girl?What is wrong with you",I said as I helped her get up.
Author's Pov-
Chaitanya held Diya by her waist to help her get up,but due to severe pain,she couldn't.A tear escaped her eyes due to the injury."Don't please,don't it hu---",Diya was about to finish when Chaitanya picked her up in bridal style and started climbing the stairs to take her to her room."No nee---",she protested but was silenced by him,"Shut up".
Diya could feel a million butterflies in her tummy as she looked at him,he was so perfect,his chiseled jawline,his adam's apple,his collarbo----Stop thinking about it Diya, she mentally scolded herself.
He gently placed Diya on the bed and left.She expected him to come back but he did not.
Maybe I shouldn't keep my hopes so high.
