I open my eyes to the first light of the morning. I am sorrounded by a big veiny hand. Vihaan has gathered me into his arms and my head is on his chest.
His rythmic beating of the heart echoing through my ears. I take a deep breath and try to get up without him noticing.
I should stay away from him today onwards. It's the best for him.
I slowly remove his arm around my waist and get up from the bed. A sudden tug around my wrist makes me fall towards the bed.
Vihaan is awake. I fall on his chest. Body to body. He looks down to me, his silver depths shining in the morning light. His temple has a slight discolouration from yesterday's fight. When my eyes find his, I see that he's thinking about the same fight.
He pulls my back with his arm drawing me closer.
"Where are you sneaking around?" His voice tinged with sleep.
"Work." I say turning my eyes away from his penetrating stare, my tone clipped.
He draws circles in the exposed part of the small of my back.
I shudder. A pleasant current zaps through my spine.
He keeps looking at me while I look away. He tries to kiss me but I turn away giving him my cheek.
He raises an eyebrow at me but I don't reply. I push from his chest lightly and get up from the bed.
"Shivanya." He calls but I don't answer. I get dressed and wait for him in the car.
"It's a nice day madam." Jay says.
"Yes it is." I reply with a tight smile.
He notices the change in my usual mood and says, "I have known Mr.Rajputh for nearly a decade. I have never seen him besotted by a woman before. He is a good man and whatever he does is for the wellbeing of yours. I am in no place to advise you madam but-" I cut him off.
"I don't mind Jay. I am in a place in life where I could get all piece of advise as much as I can. Thank you for your concern. I appreciate that." I give him my first real smile today while he smiles back at me.
The car door opens and Vihaan gets in. He looks towards me but I turn to look away. The car starts to move I can feel his burning gaze in the side of my face.
A warm palm engulfs my hand giving me reassuring squeezes. I try hard not to cry. I should talk with Nitya as soon as possible.
After the work is done, I get home early and ask Nitya to come over.
After I encounter everything that happened to her, we sit in silence.
"Have you lost your mind or what? He did the right thing! And why do you think you are protecting him by staying away." She starts.
