PRATHAMADITHYA'S POV
What happened to her? Why is she speaking like this? Everything was going fine till lunch and that question of her's has put me in a confused state.
As far as, I know Stuti, she will never talk like this about someone and especially my Dadi. There must be a solid reason for her to behave like this.
The hatred in her eyes and voice for my grandparents surprised me. That day when we were playing and she asked about betraying our loved ones also came off guard. There's definitely something more to it. I need to find out.
Shaking off the thoughts for now, I walk to our bedroom and see Stuti sleeping.
Joining her on the bed, I slide my palm inside her T-shirt, coming in contact with her soft tummy and pull her close to me, which makes her come out of sleep.
"I am sorry", I kiss her hair.
"It's fine.", Stuti replies with her eyes barely open and puts her one hand on my chest.

DEVASTUTI'S POV
It was 5:15 in the evening when I was preparing coffee for both of us.
Serving him his, I take mine and sit on floor with my back resting the centre table and facing the beautiful sea.
Just when I was about to take a sip, I sensed my husband sitting besides me with his coffee.
"About afternoon--- if you expect you to apologise to you, then don't cause I will not.", I cut him in between and clear myself.
"What the fuck is wrong with you Devastuti? Are you in your senses or not? First listen to me and then talk. Don't make assumptions.", banging the cup on the table, he shouts at me which made me flinch and the glass fell on my lap.
"Sss", Adi helps me but I push him away and leave to get cleaned.
"Stuti, I am sorry. I didn't mean to-- shut up! I don't want to listen to anything." I know I over said but it's needed from now on.
Cleaning the floor and take a fresh pair clothes to change, all the while him chasing me.
Forgive me Adi. But, from now onwards our relationship won't be the usual lovey dovey one. This is the beginning for our seperation.
Changing into the new clothes, I move out in order to make another glass for myself but instead see two cups of the drink already set in the table.
Taking one, I switch on the tv and start watching a movie which was currently playing with his gaze following my actions.
"Hey, I am sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you like that. You just started to assume that I am here to make you apologize. Stuti, I don't the reason but I am sure you have some grudge against my family and especially my grandparents. As far as I know about my grandparents, they might be not soo good people."
"Please try to understand, they are not that bad as you think--", and I just scoffed listening to him.
He gave me a hard stare, which bothered me and made me question, what will happen when he get's to know their real face.
Keeping my mouth, I countinue with sipping my tea.
From my peripheral vision, I see him placing the cup on the center table and take my face in between his palms.
His eyes boring into mine with no words exchanged. Glancing his orbs all over my face, Adi, kisses my forehead and wraps hum arm around my shoulder in a way my shoulder touching his chest.
A few moments later I say," I do not hate your whole family Adi. I have said this before and have no idea why you keep saying the same thing over and again. I don't hate your parents your siblings and cousins and your uncle and aunt's.
And regarding your grandparents, it's just your father's mother. No matter how much I try, I'll never come to like her. My behaviour might seem foolish to you and unreasonable. I swear, if this only concerned me, I would have left a time ago, but since this involves my parents, I cannot and will not forgive her. Ignoring everything, the humiliation and insult she made me go through, I kept quiet. But, humiliating my parents and my upbringing in front of all my family and friends just for not being able to full the dowry demands. My father, who was going through a severe health problem begged her to give some and in return what she did, she made fun of our financial status and threatened to cancel the marriage. She--", and I pause.
The realisation dawning upon me. Shit! In a burst of anger, I uttered everything that he was not supposed to know.
Turning my head to him, his eyes closed and head laid back. Slightly moving my towards his hand, his fingers tightly clutches around the glass, showing how much he is controlling his anger.
"Continue.", this one word itself scared me.
"Um-- i-- no--- It's just--", my mind was blank. How can I mange this situation.
"I'll go and do the dishes and see what to prepare for dinner." Getting up and was about to escape, when he grasped my wrist and pulled me towards him, making me fall in him.
"Ahh!! Prathmadit--Shh!! Continue." His eyes still closed, a vein popping in his forehead and jaw clenched.
"Just forget what I said. It's all in the past now."
