Recap: Sharan gives Ishana the cheque - IshRan misunderstanding

Ishana's POV

Sharan came home in the evening an hour later than his usual time. He didn't even check on his sisters before walking into his room which alerted everyone. That was quite an unusual occurrence. I tried to cover for him saying that he was under some work related tension and somehow appa and the twins believed me.

I hid my inner turmoil from everyone here. What will they say when they know what happened? Are they going to blame me like Sharan did? I don't think so, nobody can be as mistrusting as Sharan.

He didn't come downstairs until it was time for dinner and when he did, he acted like everything was normal. How can he act so well, that fool! He had his dinner with all of us but he didn't even look at me, not even once.

It seems like he hates me but does he know that I hate him too? It's his loss but then why am I feeling so bad. I completed all my work but I was stalling. I didn't want to go to our room and face him.

What did he say? He is my boss and me, his employ? Horse-shit. If that is what he wants then fine. I walk into the room reluctantly and relaxed only when I noticed that he was already asleep on his side of the bed.

When I was about to sleep on my side, he turned suddenly making me yelp in shock. He is certainly not good for my heart, note the sarcasm please.

"This bed is not for my employs. Move to the couch" he said rudely.

I want to smack his head but resisted the urge. I needed the money and I already used it. So I have to obey him whatever he demands.

Calm down, Isha.

"Okay, I will take the couch" I said in the most patient tone that I could manage at the moment. I didn't know if I was more sad or angry. Is this what all the time that we spent together lead to? Is this what I deserved for all the patience and care that I had invested in our relationship?

For some reason he seemed annoyed at my answer. He can go to hell for all I care.

"You don't even deserve the couch but since I don't want my employs to suffer I am letting you sleep there. Remember that this is only my kindness. What did you think, that you can live here as my wife and enjoy all the pleasures of life?" he spoke looking at me.

It took all of my being to not show my hurt and anger. What did he think of me? Am I a gold digger? Did I ever take advantage of any of his riches before? In fact I hadn't even asked him for a single thing before this and even this time I had only asked after he asked me to. How can someone have such low thoughts about a person?

And Kindness? KINDNESS? Let me tell him where he can put that kindness of his.

No, calm down.

"Okay Sharan if that's what you think. If I don't deserve this bed, or this couch then I am not going to take them. I don't need any 'kindness'" I took a pillow and a bed sheet and shifted to the floor. Unlike what he thinks I am quite capable of living without riches even when I had enough all throughout my life. We never know what life gives us and should never downplay and degrade anything that we have.
