MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE
"You didn't trust me" Guilt wash over her when a tear cascades down his eye.
He is crying for the first time. She is the sole reason behind his tears.
"I am sorry" She lowers her eyes in shame.
He steps closer to her gripp...

The cabinet contained 2-3 guns and bullets. Sharanya with her shivering hand held the gun to check if it was real and indeed it was the real one. She drops the gun on the floor. She has never seen a real one in her life let alone touch it. And here her husband's wardrobe cabinet is filled with guns.
Feeling a tug on her shoulder she turns around to meet Adhyansh. His eyes flicker on her face. She was looking pale with a slick of sweat on her forehead.
"Sharanya, kya hua ?" He ask in a low voice.
(What happened ?)
"There is a--" She gulps pointing towards the cabinet and Adhyansh knew what is coming up.
Adhyansh cups her face and asks with concern "Are you fine ?"
"Mujhe kya hoga ? Main thik hun but--"
(I am fine. What will happen to me ?)
"Adhyansh I--I don't know I just came in here and the closet was messed up. This cabinet was already open and there are guns in it. I don't know how it came" Sharanya stutters while speaking and clasp his shirt in her fist.
Adhyansh close his eyes and curse himself for creating a mess in the closet. He should have cleared the cabinet before only. It may be a ordinary thing for her but not for her. It was new for her. She had never encountered such things. Dragging a sigh he strokes her cheek to comfort her.
"Relax" Adhyansh whispers to calm her as she looks frighten.
"What's the use of guns here ? It's so dangerous and who kept it ?"
Adhyansh says closing his eyes "It's mine"
Sharanya's hold on his shirt loosens and she stumbles back in astonishment. He gets tense to see her reaction she is getting scared of him. He steps close to her and was about to touch her shoulder but she holds his hand.
"You carry guns ?" Sharanya asks with disappointment evident in her voice.
Never ever she imagined in her life that her husband would keep such a dangerous thing in his own room. All the negative thoughts clouds her mind making her head pound.
Is he a criminal ?? Or he is involved in something illegal ??
"Sharanya meri baat suno pehle" Adhyansh steps ahead in an attempt to console her but she doesn't let him.
(Listen to me first)
"Kon hai aap ? Kya karte hai aap ?" Sharanya gave a dubious stare.
(Who are you ? What do you do ?)
Adhyansh rubs a palm over her face in irritation. He doesn't know how to answer her questions. How she will react to it ? It's too much for her to digest.
"I know you don't trust me. Aur ek din mein koi kisi pe trust nhi kar skta hai. But I know you trust my family my parents and their upbringing that I'll never do anything wrong. I have a license for this gun and I use it with permission. Being a politician I need them. So just trust me on this" Adhyansh explained. He has never used this decibel of except for his family and friends . Now she is part of the family too.
