~~~~~~~~~~Sandhya~~~~~~~~~~

The night when we returned from the mall, I tried to initiate conversation with Deva. He was very distant and did not acknowledge me at all.

Its all my fault. Obviously it is 100 percent correct to be angry at me for what I did and spoke. The next day, I tried to bring up some scenarios to make him talk but he did not respond properly.

I messaged him in whatsapp. No reply from him. Basically the same treatment he was also showing me.

Earlier at least he was trying to pacify me and made some initiative to make me become normal. The biggest stupid and fool I was, engulfed with my useless anger did not respect his effort.

Now here I am begging for his mercy. 4 days passed. He maintained his distance from me completely. He would just hum or talk without any emotion as in talking with a third person in front of my in laws.

All the nights were spent with both of us lying in the same bed, but with a distance enough to construct a wall bigger than China wall.

Once I tried to touch his hand , which he politely pushed aside. I felt hurt at his ignorance at me. These 4 days I was all gloomy and spent most of the time crying.

Earlier too we had small small fights but they did not last long and Deva would never stop from talking with me or maintained distance.

But now his complete ignorance is breaking me. It gives me fear about our future. Deva's silence is making me get more tensed.

He was like calm before storm. Once Aunt told me, it is difficult to convince Angry Deva. And I am seeing the wrath of him for the first time ever since I knew him. I did not expect he would be this stubborn.

The next day evening I made my mind and went to his office and dialed him. He did not pick the call. But I dialed him continuously.

"pcch.. what do you want?" came his harsh words.

"When would you start from office?"

"I don't know. But it will be late"

Saying ok, I cut the call and stood there waiting for him. An hour later, I dialed him again he did not respond. After few minutes I dialed again.

"What do you want? why do you keep calling me?" he spoke irritatingly.

"I want to talk to you"

"I don't have time and there is nothing to talk. Cut the call"

"wait.. I am outside your office right now , in the coffee shop opposite to your office"

There was a silence. I expected him to say something but he cut the call.

I waited for almost more than an hour for him, roaming on the road and then sitting on the bench near a tea shop.

Finally I saw him coming out of his office in his bike. Seeing him I stood up eagerly. He saw me and I too was waiting for him expectantly to come my way taking U-turn.

I waited. waited. waited for more than 10 minutes. He did not come near me at all. The signal to take u-turn was just less than a minute away in bike. Yet he did not come. He saw me clearly and it is not that he missed seeing me.

Tears flew down from eyes drenching my face. I controlled myself to not look more pathetic to the public.

I started to walk silently to the nearby bus stop sniffing and wiping away my tears. I heard the horn sound of the vehicle and moved away a little. Hearing the sound again and again , I looked back to see Deva.

He inched few meters forward beside me and made sound with the throttle not looking at me.

"I .. I will go by bus.. I won't bother you anymore"

"are you going to hop on to the bike or not?" he raised his voice and I too sat behind him.

The ride was silent. He stopped near a cafe and we went inside.

"Sorry Deva.. It is all my mistake and was behaving immaturely for the past few days. I also realize that my words were very harsh to you . Please talk with me Deva"

"Don't cry Sandhya"

"sorry Deva. Really sorry.. please. please forgive me. I won't say anything that would hurt you or degrade you" tears flew down uncontrollably from my eyes.

"sss. Sandhya don't cry. everyone are looking at us" he said and sat beside me trying to console me.

"leave it . We both made mistakes and have now realized it. Lets not talk about it further. I am not angry at you" he pacified me.

"I won't fight like this hereafter Deva.. sorry. but please don't refrain from talking with me. it is unbearable."

"Ok.. I will talk.. now don't cry. I too won't hide anything from you. It is mistake from my side as well for hiding this. And.. And I won't eat NV going forward"

We sat there in silence, me still crying and he often tying to console me. We had a coffee and left the cafe paying the bill. Deva kick started his bike and I too hopped on .

Even though we both have patched up, I was feeling little hesitant to touch him. As in understanding me, Deva brought my left hand and banded his hip. I tried to detach, but he forbid me from doing that by placing his hands.

I silently leaned on his shoulders and hugged him tight with both my hands.

How much of a fool I was to ignore him? I won't get angry anymore nor behave immaturely. I could have easily handled the situation earlier. It was all my fault for creating this situation.

That night, we both laid side by side on the bed. Both of us were awake but an awkward situation prevailed. There was thick tension in the air.

I looked at him longingly and snuggled closer to him, hugging his waist.

He turned towards my side and hugged me back , resting his chin on my forehead. We did not speak anything but just embraced the presence of each other.

I threw my left leg on his waist. My legs would pain severely when I walk for a longer time or stand for a longer time.

"Did you walk for a longer distance?" he questioned me demandingly

"yes I got down unknowingly 2 stops before your office. From there I walked to your office" I murmured.

He detached himself from me and sat near the end of the bed. Placing my legs on his lap, he gently squeezed my legs massaging it. His hands got a real magic. It started to eliminate the pain I had on my legs.

"have you gone crazy to walk for a such a longer distance? Can't you at least take an auto?" he scolded me by pulling my toe fingers.

"I was worried about us Deva. Thinking about what all has happened till now. So the distance did not seemed a bigger one back then, but now it is paining. Sorry Deva. I won't fight over silly things like this" I said hugging him tight taking my legs from him.

"sorry. I too did not act maturely. I should have informed you earlier about me eating NV" he too replied.

We then slept for the day cuddling with each other peacefully. After a long time.
