her anger

Nikita POV:

What is Mayukh playing at? Does he want us getting caught? His parents are right here. I need to forget about him and mind his own business. I went to my room and changed and got ready to sleep. I was making my bed when Mayukh walked in and closed the door.

"You need to learn to knock." I said.
He came closer and smirked, "Apne hi wife ke room mein aane kiliye I have to knock?"
"I'm not your wife."
"That sindoor on your hairline says a different story."
"It's gone now." I had washed that off as soon as pointed it out. I didn't want him thinking I have some fantasy of being his wife, because it's giving a wrong message. Whatever I might feel, it has to die within me.
He came closer and moved my hair around to notice it's gone, "You really removed it."
"Yes."
"Why'd you remove it?"
"Because sindoor is for married women. I'm not married."
By now I was pinned to the wall, with his hands on my waist.
"You have a husband."
"No I don't, no one knows about it."
"But you know about it, don't you?"
"Let me sleep." I tried looking away.
Mayukh chuckled and headed towards the door and opened it and was heading out when he suddenly said, "If we're not married, then why are you interested in impressing my parents?"
"What?" I looked around and scoffed, "What am I doing?"
"Oh really, making them chai, dressing all Indian, what's that for?" He leaned against the door smirking, "patni ka haqq chahiye?"
My anger rose. I was just being nice and I didn't even know they're his parents. I stormed towards the door in anger, "I didn't know they're your parents until Esha told me in front of you. I wore that because I wanted to wear Indian. They were coming from a flight and it seemed right to make them something. I'd have done it for anyone."

Mayukh POV:

She looked so hot and cute in her anger. Her nose was becoming slightly red with her cheeks flustered and angry at the same time as she stormed towards me. She kept blabbering about her wearing the dress before and what not but I couldn't even focus because she looked so kissable. Control Mayukh.
"...I'd have done it for anyone." She said, looking mad.
Before I could reply, she said, "I want to sleep. Goodnight." And slammed the door shut, with me outside. I chuckled and went to my room.

The next morning, I sat with Mom and Dad while Esha served us breakfast. I watched Nikita walk in with jeans and a simple top, her hair tied in a high pony tail with a few strands caressing her face. She saw me and looked away instantly. Oho, she's still angry. She said a good morning to Mom and Dad, hugged Esha and sat next to her.

I noticed her eat her food quietly before Mom started speaking. "Bacho, you guys must be a part of Ruyash's wedding."
"Really! We'd love to Aunty!" Esha said and Nikita smiled. Why isn't she talking?
Sid walked in and gave Nikita a hug before sitting. What's going on here?
"Umm Sid, PS afternoon today?" I asked.
"Oh Sorry bro! I'm going with Nikita, she needs to buy something so I'm helping her out." He said.
What? I looked at Nikita who was smiling at Sid and then continuing eating. Where are they going?
"Oh no worries! Come fast tho I want to play PS." I said and he nodded.
"Aunty, when is the wedding?" Esha asked Mom.
"In 3 days beta! I hope you have your Indian wear sorted." She chuckled.
"I have to buy some stuff! Mayukh Sid Niki, do you guys wanna go shopping?"
"Why don't we go today? Niki and I are going shopping anyway, you guys also come." Sid suggested.
Oh, so she's going shopping with him. Nice.
"Yes! That'll be perfect." Esha said and I nodded, "Everyone come home from class by 2 please."

I watched Nikita arrange the table and get her handbag ready to leave when Mom stopped her, "Beta, can you please explain how to operate this hi - fi remote?" Mom chuckled.
Nikita looked at me and then looked at Mom. Esha entered at exactly that time and Nikita said, "Esha can you please uncle aunty with the remote?" She looked at Mom and said, "I also have no idea how it works aunty! I don't watch TV much! I'm sorry."
"No worries beta!" Mom patted her shoulder and then sat with Esha and figured the remote out.
What was this all about?! Why couldn't she just help?
"I'll see you in the evening Aunty Uncle." Nikita said.
"See you beta!" Dad said and touched her head and Mom smiled."
They really love her.
