The Misunderstood Bride

Chapter 21.WORK👀

Akriti's PoV:

I rush outside the guestroom not able to control my tears once again and enter the bathroom. His outburst isnt something thats hurting so much, its the look in his eyes...the way they were filled with hatred for me...he wants to hurt me like i hurted him....i hurted him...yes i did maybe...i should have shouted for help but i shouldn't have hugged Tarun. The building trust in our marriage has completely shook up because of that. If he had hugged his ex fiancee i would be so shattered. And mine is so much different too. He thinks we loved each other. All my efforts to prove myself innocent and win him over have gone into vain. My feelings for him...yes yes feelings...i love him...i feel for him....my feelings are real... i cant leave him...no matter what he says...what he does...i will always be with him.. i will again try to gain his trust and win his heart....even if he doesnt love me back, i can still work for some trust and friendship. My one sided love will be enough to save this relationship.

I freshen up quickly and then later decide on from where to start with the work. First i go and find the broom and clean the house. Next, i go with mopping the floor of the house. God i never realised that how big this penthouse is. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms,one huge living room,kitchen and a big balcony. The rooms are so big. When i entered his study for cleaning, i felt his gaze upon me the whole time. I tried to focus on my work only and hurriedly left from his office. Next i wash the utensils from last night in the dishwasher which i find difficulty in using at first but figure out ultimately. Hhhhhh..its  a lot of work....when i finish up finally, its already 1 pm. God i need to prepare the lunch....he wants the lunch by 2 every noon. I immediately start with preparing lunch and prepare rajma chawal for him.

He comes around 2:10 and i quietly serve him lunch. He doesnt offer me to sit with him like last time and i just stand there while he eats taking his time. Finally he leaves and i sit to have my lunch. God i feel famished. I didnt get a chance to eat breakfast today. I love rajma chawal. I am about to serve myself when his voice interupts me.

"Listen i need to visit someone, i will be back soon...by then complete all the chores. The list is there on the fridge. I made sure that the maid prepares a list of the work to be done."
"Okay..."

I eat my lunch and wash the dishes by hand. When i look at the fridge, there's a list attached to its front with a magnet. I saw it before but didnt bother to read it or even see what it is. I read it now and its so much of work....i didnt know that the household chores are such a pain...i lived alone so i didnt know anything and did what was only necessary. Even i had hired a maid to come thrice a week for cleaning purposes.

I get ready to complete my tasks and after soooo much time, i finally get over it. All the work is done. From washing clothes to washing the balcony, dusting,cleaning the doors..etc i am finally done with everything. I am so fucking exhausted.....my back hurts now...i have a back ache issue since high school that whenever i exhaust myself too much, my back starts to ache a lot. I go to the room and apply some ointment when the door opens and he comes inside. I quickly leave the ointment inside the medical kit and stand straight.

"What are you doing here? Are you done with all your work?"
"Yes...yes's everything is done.."
"Good...now serve dinner...am hungry.."
"Dinner? But its only...."

I spot midway when i notice the time. Its 8:30 pm!! He eats dinner around 8....i was so busy in completing all the chores that i forgot about the time.

"What happened? Why are u so quiet suddenly?"
"Its...actually...sorry i...i didnt prepare dinner yet.."
"What but why????"
"I...actually...i..was so busy in everything and to complete each task that i didnt realise the time and its so late now..but give me half an hour and i will make something quickly...."
"Oh shut up!! You couldnt even complete your tasks nicely!!! I dont want some random tasteless food!! I need good food!!"
"Yes i will cook...just please give me some time..."
"Okay hurry up!!! You only have 20 mins!!!! I will be here at 8:50!!"
"Yesyes.."

With that i rushed towards the kitchen and prepared the easiest dish i could think of. I made paneer ki bhurji and basic chapatis. I served him dinner at 8:45 only and ate without giving me a single glance. I sighed when he left and finally ate my dinner in silence. It was just 9:55 when i was finished with my dinner but i was so exhausted that i could sleep right here right now. I walked for a bit and by 10:30 i entered the bedroom.

I found him on the bed busy on his laptop. I changed my clothes in the washroom and came out to sleep. He was still on his laptop. God why does he work this much? I sighed and aimed for the couch to get some sleep. Suddenly his voice made me stop

"Where do you think you are sleeping?"
"Ummm...the couch?"
"And who told u so?"
"Ummm...sorry no one...where shall i sleep?"

He got up from the bed and went outside the room. I was so confused by now. I was about to follow him when he came back with a thin matress.

"This is gonna be your bed from now onwards...place it near the bed and sleep on it...remember you need to get up by 7 tomorrow."

I quietly took the sheets he then offered and went to take my place. So this was my place now. Here on the floor. I had to sleep on this matress on the floor when my husband was sleeping on the bed in the same room. But i didnt complain anything and just set my bed for myself. At this point of exhaustion, even the bare floor would have been comfortable to sleep on. I still get a matress. But my thoughts are proved wrong when i lie on it and my back hurts so bad that i wince loudly. Whole night i keep tossing and turning before sleep finally consumes me.....hey mahadev please this time dont let my efforts go in vain.....pls help
Me.....
