"Where were you?" He questions in a dangerously low voice.

"I-uhm-" I stutter, feeling my throat drying all of a sudden as he looks down at me intensely.

No words leave my mouth in answer causing me to gulp while staring into his dark orbs while he has me caged between the counter and himself.

Agastya stares at me for a few more seconds before moving back as if nothing happened and going back to continue what he left earlier.

I get the room to breathe properly as I watch him cautiously before saying "I was at the garden, I told you"

Agastya turns his head in my direction pinning me with eyes once again as he asks "You told me?"

Uhhh I fumble at his words and look around while I mumble "Saransh did but-" Agastya ignores my words, chopping the vegetables with sharp cuts.

"You could have called me, and I am back before my usual time" I mumble slowly, not sure if I want him to hear me.

Leaving the work in his hands Agastya takes two long strides before standing in front of me once again.

"Check your phone" he tips his chin gesturing for me to check my phone but all I do is blink my eyes at him very innocently.

Having no effect of my puppy face on him I slowly put my hand in my jeans pocket removing my phone without taking my eyes off Agastya.

Sure enough there are a few missed calls from my husband which I notice when I glance down at my phone slightly.

Looking up with an awkward grin I stare at Agastya who shakes his head giving me a disapproving glance before walking back.

"But but, I am not late, I am back before six see" I follow behind him holding my phone in the air and waiting for him to see.

Agastya keeps his back to me as he saunters ahead to open the fridge once again.

"Agastya" I call out softly following behind my husband like a puppy while he ignores my existence.

"Hey!" I exclaim with a scrunched face watching as he throws all the chopped vegetables into the pan giving it a stir.

"Agastya!" I shout stepping beside him. I cough as soon as the steam from the vegetables hits my nose.

Agastya looks down at me before grabbing my arm and pulling me aside until I am standing in a corner.

My coughing slows down with this new location while my eyes stay on Agastya as I watch him cooking without any care.

"Agastya! Why are you ignoring me!" I stomp in his direction with a purpose watching as he switches off the gas and walks away from the other side.

I gape at him in disbelief with my mouth left open till my jaw is touching the floor.

I rush behind him trying to catch up with his pace "This is not fair! Why are you angry? I didn't do anything"

He doesn't reply walking until he reaches inside our bedroom.

I watch him opening the closet grabbing a piece of clothing before shutting it down with a thud.

"At Least tell me why you are angry, how would I know!" My face scrunches at his behaviour as I continue following him.

He opens the bathroom and enters inside but before he can close the door in my face I enter along with him.
