KGF

Chapter - 36

After a long day work Rocky walked inside as he saw Aaira already There on dining table.

Rocky paused for a moment, taken aback by her presence. They hadn't spoken much since the argument and the tension was still there in the air. He walked silently towards the table, sitting down across from her.

Aaira gave him a tight lip smile.
“Today Fathima Amma told me that I should make Something for you after our marriage so I thought to make you your favourite food...”

Rocky's eyes widened slightly at her words. He hadn't expected this from her. Surprise and... something else he couldn't quite pin-point flooded through him.

“You...you made something for me?”

Aaria nodded, her lips curving into a small smile.

"I may dislike being your wife, but I'll still try to do my duties. And I remember what you like and what you don't like."

Rocky felt a pang in his heart as he realized that she was willing to try, even after everything. In a strange way, it made him feel worse.

He watched silently as she placed the plate in front of him...As there was fish Curry...but he don't like fish He always Vomits after eating Fish and Aaira knows about it  so well.

Rocky looked at the food, then back up at her...Aaira Just smirked as she leaned back on Chair

“I made it with so love aren't you gonna eat???” 

Rocky stared at her as he picked up a spoonful, taking a bite...It was Spicy and he hate spicy it was like whole chilli bottle was in it.

He kept his face carefully neutral and then swallowed it, his throat searing from the spice.

Aaria watched him in shock, as she clenched her hand in her pallu...She could tell he was struggling, but he was trying to keep up his stoic facade...even as his eyes watered from the heat...She didn't mean it..she thought he is gonna reject it but he.

Rocky took another bite, his jaw clenching. The pain from the spice was overwhelming, but he refused to back down, swallowing hard.

Aaria bit her lip, a mix of anticipation and guilt swirling within her. She knew exactly what the spice was doing to him.

Rocky continued to eat, each bite getting more painful as. His lips curled into a thin line, sweat glistening on his forehead.

He could feel the heat spreading through his body, churning his stomach as Aaira stood up Before he can take another bite she took the plate infront of him.

She looked at him, watching the pained expression on his face, his lip trembling slightly from the spice.

“Enough!!! You shouldn't have eaten it” 

Rocky’s eyes met hers, his voice hoarse, almost a whisper.

“Why do you Care...you were the one who served me this”

Aaria’s heart ached, hearing the hurt and confusion in his voice. It was true, she
had made it overly spicy on purpose, even though she knew he didn’t like it.

But why...why did it hurt seeing him in pain like this, even though she was angry with him as forwarded him water glass.

“Doesn't matter I still hate you...” 

Rocky took the glass of water and drank it quickly, the cool liquid providing a brief relief from the heat of the spice.

He set the glass down, his eyes still locked with hers, a mixture of hurt and anger in them.
