The Warrior

Part 20

Aarti slowly opened her eyes to scan around...he wasn't there. She yawned and stretched herself. Then closed her eyes again... she had all problems with getting up early.

Just after sometime her ears heard footsteps in the room... she lifted the blanket a little to have a glimpse of him striding around the room...

Taking deep breathe while gazing at him for a while, her senses always give up when it comes to him she thought, why does he have to look that handsome all the time.

This was the first time she saw him in his uniform. Her heart skipped several beats. No matter what he thought about her but she was all lost in him...

He kept his cap on the dressing table and picked up some papers from the wardrobe then looked at her... she immediately closed her eyes pretending to still asleep...

Without saying anything he left the room... she took off the blanket and stood up from the bed... drowsed while looking outside the window... "Beautiful" she said to herself looking at the mountains outside. She thought of going for a long walk towards the mountains...

Veer finished with his breakfast, when he saw his lazy wife coming out of the room. She was still in her night dress but this time she covered herself with the silk gown not revealing her skin anymore. He was still thinking to ask if she was comfortable but something stopped him.

She picked up a cup of coffee and sat next to him reading the newspaper. He watched her adjusting her long hair making a ponytail and started reading the newspaper... "What is this?" she said aloud

He frowned a little while she looked embarrassed... "Sorry, this news...have you read?"

He didn't say anything and she understood he doesn't want to talk at all...how boring she thought.

He was about to leave but stopped at her words "I am going for a long walk shortly"

Veer totally unheeded and sauntered away...

Feeling completely down about his merciless behaviour she kept the cup on the table and speculated why he was like this all the time. "Moron" she murmured

----------------------------------

After sometime strolling here and there Aarti picked up her towel and ambled towards the bathroom... it was really small but was kept very tidy. She turned on the shower "oh no..." the water was damn cold.

She couldn't believe the water was ice cold and she no clue how to get the warm water ... "what the hell" she shouted.

She definitely can't have shower in this cold water... she wrapped the towel around her and peeked out of the room trying to search for him "where are you?" she murmured then heard some noise outside.

Veer was giving commands to his cadets when he heard her shouting for him.

"Veer....Veer"

Veer very well heard her screaming but he knew it would be out rightly baseless or something cracking up in her silly brains or she must have ended up doing something utterly stupid...

One of the kitchen hand person heard her shouting and ran to call his commando officer.

"Sir"

Veer turned around "Is it important Yashpal?"

"Sir, I hope ma'am is alright..."

"You all carry on" he ordered and walked inside the quarter...

Wholly calamitous of this kind of expected behaviour he walked straight towards the point from where the noise was coming...

"What happened?" he stood annoyingly outside the bathroom
