FEAR OF FONDNESS

Chapter 51 PROBING YOU

Shinaya's POV:

The weather was getting beautiful, clouds were covering the whole sky and it was sprinkling.

I liked such weather, who wouldn't like it?

I decided to go for a walk in the woods, it was just below our lawn. I took my shawl and asked one of the housekeepers for a stake. I had never been there before but I knew that the woods were on a slope so it would be difficult for me to walk.

I was ready to start my adventure when suddenly his words echoed in my mind. 

"You will not go out!"

His tone was dead serious, should I take the risk to go? I questioned myself, but then I knew I shouldn't. His anger was a storm, and I was still not used to such an attitude.I was submerged in despair and weakness once again. And amidst this, I started to march back to my black castle, "I hate this color! who makes the whole house black? Look how mesmerizing the scene is outside, but NO! you will not go out! great!" I mumbled in my frustration. 

As I was walking towards the door, I felt a drop on my head and another, followed by several. It had started to rain heavily in just a few seconds. I rushed towards the door but it didn't helped. I was all wet within a few seconds and the lawn was so oversized that even my running didn't help. At last, accepting my defeat I stood there dropping my shoulders.

I never liked soaking in the rain. I did like the rain but never like soaking in it. The reason was not any serious one, it was just I didn't liked it.

But now as I was soaked, so I sat on the velvety grass. There was peace everywhere. the sound of rain and the scent of soil proved the best combination for relaxing my nerves. I closed my eyes and let the drops wash over my frustration. After a few seconds, I did felt a lot better. As I opened my eyes after a while, I saw a figure standing at the door. It was Wassal, he was standing leaning against the wall. He was smiling, looking at me.

I smiled back and walked towards him. " When did you came?" I inquired.

"When you were enjoying the rain" he replied with a smirk.

I felt my cheeks warm under that cool environment. I didn't replied back but just chuckled in return. "I thought you didn't like soaking in the rain" his statement took me aback.

"How did you know this?" I asked in astonishment.

He chuckled and answered, "I just knew" He shrugged.

"I wasn't ready for this all, I was just walking back and it started to rain this heavily!" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"I see," He said as he examined me from head to toe. His gaze suddenly stopped at a point, his expression changed, What did he see? I thought. As I followed his gaze, I understood why was he looking like that. My dress was getting transparent. My legs and upper body could be seen well.

I instantly excused myself and went into the room.

What an embarrassment!

After changing my clothes, I walked towards the sofa in front of the picture windows. As I reached there I saw a blanket spread on the sofa.

It caught me off guard, I frowned in confusion and looked at Wassal in question.

To which he answered, "I did that, I know you like to sit this way when it's cold," He said casually. It took me on another surprise, "How did you know?" I exclaimed in confusion, as It was the first time after marriage I wanted to sit like that.
