I avoided Naksh for the better part of the trip and while I attempted to ignore, he made efforts for reconciliation. He would make the most delicious breakfast every morning and leave it outside my bedroom door. When I would eventually come down, he’d attempt to strike up conversations. He stopped going out of town and volunteered to take me sightseeing but I like I had made up my mind to do ignore him until he realises the fact that we are in a marriage nd chuck society chuck everyone else I know it was Arranged rather forced but its the kind of commitment for lifetime for me atleast. He had likened me to a tradable object; passed from one man to another once they’re done. I had been traded to him in place of my family’s honour and now he’d trade me to Adi to relieve his guilty conscience.

On the last day of the trip, I yet again spent the majority of my time in my room, packing, wandering about and staying restless. I wasn’t sure which was worse, staying here in the rather awkward limbo we were in or going back to India to the Same  Mansion which held the most horrid memories for me.

“Would you like me to carry that bag for you?” Naksh asked pointing to a particularly heavy bag slung across my shoulders. I knew that my muscles would ache from the force I was exerting on them by carrying it but my pride didn’t allow me to relinquish it.  I ignored him and kept walking towards the departure lounge. I heard him sigh behind me and I felt nothing. He could  do whatever he wanted, I don’t care anymore.

The plane ride was slow and torturous. Despite my efforts to change my seat, I was still stuck with a husband who didn’t know when to shut up.

“Tumhe Mountains pasand hai ya beaches”

“Acha wats your favourite dish,”

“I hate crying babies. Why do thy get infants in the plane”

He went on and on and on and I resisted the urge to smack my head against the small plane window or to simply jump out of it.

"Wats the issue mujhe babies pasand hai kitne cute toh hote hai"I couldn't resist myself anymore this serious girl wasn't me,main aisi nhi hoon..

He smiled and said "Finally"

I hit my head realising Why did I speak..

When the flight ended, I couldn’t have moved any faster. I got up to grab my hand luggage from the overhead cabin but a hand reached it before I could. The Rolex watch on his wrist stuck in my bracelet unnoticed by both of us.

“I got it!” I huffed as I tried to push Naksh out my way but he had the upper hand, taller, stronger and less prone to childish antics. He easily moved me out of his way and grabbed all my bags, leaving me with just my purse. He lifted them easily, as if they didn’t weigh a ton and maneuvered us outside to baggage claim. As he walked the bracelet stuck in  his watch dragged me along Iwalked behind him, glaring constantly,he turned back to see our hands but did nothing and continued walking ,I swear I heard him chuckle.

Ad we walked, the events that had played out when I was last here immediately making me panic. Had Aditi told him? How would he react? How was he going to deal with all this?
“hello?” I blinked as Naksh waved his hand in front of me, looking annoyed. I shook my head slightly to get rid of my thoughts and focused my attention on Naksh.

“What?” I snapped at him.

“I asked you if it was okay agar hum kahin pe jaaye ghar jaane se pehle” he asked and he asked and I looked at him confused. Where would he want to go at this time of the night? It was nearly eleven.

“Is it important?” I whined as we settled into the car, the heat from the car heater immediately warming me up.

“It sort of is I wouldn’t be asking you if it wasn’t naa” He stated in a matter-of-fact voice. Great, we’d  just been back to London barely ten minutes and he was back to his  self. Typical Moron.Was it the place effect..

“Fine then, do whatever you want,Mujhse. Puchna bhi kyon" I said quietly, leaning my head against the seat and closing my eyes. I needed sleep.

Naksh was pretending to be deep in sleep, I opened my eyes. Truth was that I couldn’t go to sleep near him; I’d never allow myself to be that vulnerable. The driver opened my seat as I got out where the cold assaulted my senses. I shivered and my teeth started chattering, I shoved my hands in hands in my pockets and moved closer to the car in hopes of getting some warmth.

“Where are we?” I asked Naksh in a shaky voice as he came around the other side to stand next to me.

“We’re here to see someone.” He said simply as he began walking up the street to a rather tattered looking apartment building.

“Ab kon hai iswakt?” I relented walking behind him as fast as I could possibly manage.

As he stopped in front of the door, he took a deep breath and focused his eyes on me. There was an unreadable emotion in them, almost like he was afraid of telling me what he knew. If they weren’t already there due to the cold, I knew I’d get goose bumps.

“Someone who could possibly tell ki tumhari behen kaha hai..” He said in low tone.
