Fated Affection

Chapter 17

Aisha looked at him, her expression softening slightly. "Aarav is like a little brother to me. We always have fun together."

Rohan's jealousy flared again. "Just remember, I'm your husband. I should be the one you have the most fun with," he said, his tone both teasing and serious.

Aisha sighed, "Aarav and I have a different kind of bond." As Aisha said that, Aarav arrived, and Aisha gave him a look to sit between her and Rohan. Aarav understood and sat in the middle. Rohan noticed this and whispered to himself, "I don't know what type of allergy she has to me or if I have splinters on me."

Aarav, "Alright, let's get back to the movie," he said cheerfully, passing the popcorn around.

They continued watching "The Hangover," with Aarav and Aisha laughing at the funniest scenes. Rohan, still feeling a bit sidelined, tried to focus on the movie but couldn't shake off the feeling of being an outsider.

When the movie ended, Aarav stretched and yawned. "That was fun! We should do this more often," he said.

Aisha smiled, "Definitely. Thanks for organizing it, Aarav."

Aarav grinned, "Anytime, Aisha. Goodnight!"

Aisha smiled, "Definitely. Thanks for organizing it, Aarav."

Aarav grinned, "Anytime, Aisha. Goodnight!"

As Aarav headed to his room, Aisha and Rohan were left standing in the hall. Rohan tried to come closer to Aisha, but she started moving towards her room.

"Aisha, listen to me," Rohan said, following her.

"I don't want to talk to you," Aisha replied, grabbing her pillow and blanket from their room. She walked briskly to the guest room and locked the door before Rohan could stop her.

Rohan knocked on the guest room door. "Okay, sleep in the guest room if you want, but what will you say to everyone if they see you in here?"

Aisha ignored him and settled into the bed, determined to get some rest without further confrontation.

After receiving no reply despite trying multiple times, Rohan finally gave up and went back to their room. He sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and regret, and eventually fell asleep, hoping tomorrow would bring a chance to make things right.

In the morning, Aisha sent a maid to their room to bring her clothes. The maid knocked on Rohan's door, waking him up. Rubbing his eyes, he opened the door.

"Sir, Aisha ma'am sent me to bring her clothes," the maid said.

Rohan's eyes widened. "Go and tell your Aisha ma'am to get her clothes herself," he replied with a smirk.

The maid delivered Rohan's message. Aisha, frustrated, exclaimed, "Rohannnnnn! I will kill you! You are getting on my nerves!"

She stormed to their room and knocked. Rohan opened the door and leaned against the frame. "Hmm, what do you want?"

Aisha pushed past him, saying, "Move." She went straight to their walk-in wardrobe, grabbed her clothes, and turned to leave. But then she saw Rohan close the door and stand in front of it, arms folded.

"What do you want from me, Rohan? I am fed up with you!" she demanded.

Rohan, in a teasing mood, replied, "Oh, you already know what I want. And you're fed up with me? Me, Rohan Raichand, whom every other girl wants?"

Aisha, serious, shot back, "Congratulations. Go to them then. I will be the happiest person on earth. Just leave me alone."
