13: The Argument

Siya's Pov

"Dude, are you serious?" Rishi asks Kanishk and I just ignore the frown Kanishk was giving me as I moved my chair away from him. 

Two weeks! Two weeks into this marriage and my husband haven't once even looked at me lovingly. I remember our engagement days and all the days before our marriage including Haldi, Mahendi, and Sangeet, I've never seen him give me any loving looks which a bride should be expecting from her husband, instead, I got an emotionless workaholic. 

I had thought maybe Kanishk was nervous in between so many people and would finally talk lovingly or even start behaving like a husband after we get married and start living together, but no, nothing of that sort was happening.  And now he says going on a Honeymoon is a waste of time? Oh no Mr. Kapoor, if you think going on a Honeymoon is waste of time then don't bother coming with me when I go alone.

I remember my mom asking me where I wanted to go and my first suggestion was Bali too, and now maybe I should tell her to book my tickets as it was her wedding gift to me. And I wanted a break from this loveless and emotionless marriage.

"What? It's true," I hear Kanishk's voice and I roll my eyes and see the waiter coming with our order as he started placing plates on our table.

"Thank you," I chipped a small thanks after the waiter was finished serving us and left us alone for the dinner.

"The food is really tasty Rishi," I say as I take a bite from the Butter Chicken.

Rishi looked up at me excitedly, "Isn't it? I love their food, but Ananya always complains that they put too much oil," Rishi says looking at his wife.

Ananya in return just brings up her spoon filled with oil and shows him. "Well, look at this," she tells and I laugh.

"Baby doesn't look at the texture, look at the taste," Rishi says and I just smile at their banter lovingly, they might just be the sweetest couple after my parents.

My eyes involuntarily go toward my husband and found him already looking at me, "Do you want a drink?" he asks and pushes a glass of red wine toward me and I shake my head.

"Not in the mood," I reply, still mad at him.

He realized he was only going to get short answers from me so he just nodded his head and for the rest of the dinner he just kept giving me side looks whenever I laughed or spoke with Rishi and Ananya. Their presence was the only thing not making this dinner awkward.

Finally, after we finished our dinner, we walked out of the restaurant and towards our cars. Ananya hugged me, "Don't lose hope, I've seen the looks he was giving you throughout the dinner," she whispers in my ears and I just smile at her encouragement, just hoping that she was right.

We bid bye to Rishi and Ananya and drove back to our place. The drive back to our house was silent. None of us spoke anything.

Once we got inside the house, Baby Yoda ran towards us and instead of going towards Kanishk, he came to me and started barking, and immediately a smile broke on my face. 

"Hey there buddy," I say and caressed his fur as I saw Kanishk bending down to my level as well to greet Baby Yoda, as soon as our hands touched I retreated my hands and stood up and Kanishk looked at me again, frowning.

"Wait a minute Siya," he calls out as soon as I started walking towards our room.

I stopped in my tracks and looked at him waiting for him to say.

"Are you mad at me? You're ignoring me since after the party," he says and I roll my eyes. Oh, so he at least noticed that I was ignoring him.

"Yes," I say a single word just to piss him off and turn around walking towards the room.

"We haven't finished talking Siya, tell me why are you ignoring me," he followed me into the room as I walked towards the dressing table and started removing my jewelry.

"Oh, you don't know why I'm ignoring you? Think Mr. Kapoor, think," I yell at him and this time he glares at me.

"How will I know why you're ignoring me, tell me at least what I've done?" he asks irritated.

"I'm not telling you anything, figure out yourself why I am angry with you," I say keeping the earrings inside the box and facing back towards him.

"Are you serious?" he says looking at me unbelievably, "Wait a minute is it because I said we don't have time for our Honeymoon? Is that why you're angry?" he asks me and I glare at him.

"Yes for that and-" I stop myself before I made a fool out of myself by saying  'And you for not noticing me'.  

"And?" he asks and I shake my head.

"Nothing," I answer and glare at him.

"So you're angry because I said no to honeymoon? Siya you know I can't take a holiday from work, I'm the damn CEO of a company if I take a holiday, do you know how much of a loss we will face?" he asks and I laugh.

"I'm a damn CEO too for your kind information Mr. Kapoor and I happen to take holidays often, I don't treat my work as if my life is dependent on it, unlike you," I tell him and his glare just intensifies.

"Well then that explains why you never ever won a Business award," he says angrily and my eyes go wide. 

That hurt.

I swallow down my tears of hurt and look up at him who looked a little shaken up but I didn't show him an ounce of emotion.

"You're right, and you know what, I don't even care about the awards," I say and move towards him. "But just know if you don't have time for a Honeymoon, don't expect me to stay here beside you like an emotionless fool, I will go alone and I would enjoy my life with the money I've earned rather than spending my entire life in the office trying to win some stupid award," I say and saw his shocked face before I walked towards the washroom not giving him a chance to stop me again.

As soon as the washroom door was closed, tears rolled down my eyes, nothing was going right in my life. Nothing.

My sister is back, my ex is back, and my husband doesn't love me, maybe this will be my life forever. A mess.
