Author's Pov :

After finishing her work, Tarini enters the bedroom to see her husband sitting on bed, busy with his laptop. Quietly she moves to the walk-in closet to change for the night. Coming out, she takes a pillow and blanket from the bed, ignoring his presence completely. Aviraj, who was aware of all her actions, looks at her confused when she passes the couch and walks ahead.

"Where are you going at this time?" He asks keeping his laptop aside.

"I will sleep in the guest room." She replies turning towards him, making him more confused at her sudden demand.

"May I ask why?"

Getting up from the bed, he goes to stand in front of her. Fixing his sight on her face with the serious expression, he tries to recall if he did something to offend her again. The woman was unpredictable, he would never easily understand what goes in her heart.

"Because I want to. Simple." She reasons plainly and he could swear nothing was simple in that.

"Try again." He stuffs his hand in the pockets of his trousers while she she glares at him, hearing his words. "I am not playing dumb Charades with you that you will tell me to try again. I am serious."

"Look, if you think, you will do this and I will let you sleep on bed then you are wrong. It's my turn." That's all he could figure out. Yes, he knew she was avoiding him but taking this step for that felt bizarre. His wife was mature enough to not do this, according to him.

"What?" She questions, making a weird face, when his reply makes her furious. "Acha theek hai, jao so jao bed par. Tum kya yaad rakhogi, kitna bada dil hai tumhare pati ka."

(Okay, you can go and sleep on bed. Your husband has a big heart.)

"Aviraj." She stresses on his name after rolling her eyes at his big heart dialogue.

"Aur kya chahiye?"

(What else do you want?)

"Shanti, jo yaha nahi hai aapke kamre mein. That's why I have decided to sleep in guest room from now on. It will good for both of us." She hugs the pillow closer to herself, announcing her decision firmly. This was the conclusion she could reach in the battle between her heart and brain. This was best for her.

(Silence, which is not present in your room.)

"Lekin hum bhi toh yaha shanti se hi sote hai. Shor kaha hota hai hai!" He states nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulder and she grits her teeth in anger hearing his logic.

(But, we also sleep in silence. No one makes any noise!)

"I want space." She gives another excuse.

"You have all the space." He says, looking around his entire room, which was the probably the biggest in the Sisodia mansion.

"I am not in mood to joke, Aviraj." She utters, seeing him taking her lightly. She tries to move out, only to get stopped by him.
