First day of a new life

ch 29

Chandhini wanted to go after him but her shyness stopped her. This was something she could not demand from him. She sat down on sofa as she thought about it. It had been a perfect experience for her. Her body had aches but there was a feeling on satiation. So, this was how it felt to be loved by a man, by advay. She blushed and giggled at same time. Still, she wished he had held her in his arms afterwards, it would have felt nice. He was her tree whose warmth always fell like leaves on her and kept her happy.

.......................

Advay walked down with hurried steps, he did not want to think about what he had done few hours ago. His body had enjoyed it but his mind still could not accept it. He stopped for a moment and closed his eyes as he tried to think about the things which psychologist had told him. She was his wife, she was not blood related to him. It was consensual. There was nothing wrong in it.

He opened his troubled eyes, he needed to get to his office, and so he could work and get his mind focussed on something else.

.................................

Next day

Chandhini watched Advay getting ready for the work. She got off the bed and went after him into walk in closet where he was putting on tie.

Chandhini,''Do you have to go to work today? It's my first day here. ''

Advay,'' I am not on babysitting duty. You have to learn to live here by yourself. I will introduce you to head servant, she will show you around.''

Chandhini's mood soured. She thought Babysitting duty? If I let baba or ayi know, you will be spending the whole week with me. But she didn't say anything because he was obviously still angry at her.

Chandhini, 'ok. Advay, you smoke? Since when? I have never seen you smoking.''

Advay grabbed his coat and said,'' Don't call me by my name and It was none of your business and still isn't. I will be late, have dinner on time.''

With that comment he strode out and in few minutes, he was back with an old woman in her forties. He introduced her as head servant and told the head servant chandhini was his wife and will be staying here.

After he left Chandhini took a tour of house and then went back to their room. She did not feel like having breakfast early in the morning. Usually she woke up late bit but today she had woke up especially for Advay.

She snuggled into blankets,'' moody, arrogant...got up for him in the morning and instead of appreciating he said what he does is none of my business .Couldn't he stay with me today.'' she fumed a bit but there was nothing she could do right now. She sighed and hugged the pillow.

She was missing her family. The house so big and quiet. The style was very western and she did not like it as much as she had on first sight except for the gardens. They were beautiful.

Slowly her eyes closed as she went to sleep.

..

Chandhini closed her phone after talking with Khushi for an hour. With nothing to do she had been calling everyone. She looked at time. It was 10 at night. Advay was still not home. He was not answering her calls or replying to her text messages. Finally giving up on waiting she went to sleep.

...

Advay came into his room tired. He had a busy day. He needed to attend a conference in noon and meet a Korean delegation at dinner time on top if his normal work routine. He saw Chandhini was already asleep, he took a shower and went to sleep too. And this set the pattern of their daily life for coming month.

...

Time passed and soon it was a month since Chandhini had been in Delhi. All the exploring of city she had done was on her own. Advay was too busy. He ignored her most of the time and they had made love only twice so far. He had been really gentle and warm. She had felt so cherished but after that he left the bed. He never slept after making love. She didn't like it when he called her Chandhini, he had always called her tiny. Chandhini sounded so foreign on his mouth. She was missing the nickname. He didn't like it either when she called him by his name. What was she supposed to call him,'' Your highness?'' she grumbled as she popped couple of m and m's into her mouth. Then, she thought about her own actions and felt bad. He had a right to be angry.

She was patiently waiting for his bad mood to pass and quietly bearing his attitude. After all she was the one at fault here. But hopefully things will get better with time.

She wrapped her arms around her legs as she thought that college was going to start soon anyway and life will get busy but yes, she was missing her old life. She couldn't go back to Mumbai this whole time because of Advay. He always had one meeting or another and since it would be first time going back after they moved to Delhi, thus, she didn't want to go back alone. But they will be going this weekend.

She sighed, it was so boring here, and she needed to do some shopping to cheer herself up. She asked the servant to get the car ready and got up to change her dress.
