Arranged to my hater

Chapter Nine

Abhimanyu was in his study room busy with his office work. After the hallway incident, I don't feel like continuing with part two of my plan.

I have placed crispbread (papad) all over his bed and covered it with the bedsheet. Now here I am trying to collect all this mess so that I can go back to my bed and sleep peacefully.

Just as I was done cleaning his bed, he entered the room. I knew that he was furious from the look he had on his face. But there is no need for him to be mad when I am just sparing him with the prank I planned for him.

He looks at all the papads I had collected from the bed and then back at me. I try to ignore him and escape from this awkward situation.

"Really? How old are you?" he asked

"Old enough to go out on my own" I replied irritatingly

"Yes, you left alone last night. We both know how it ended"

"And we both know why I left last night. Why am I even here? I thought you'll be celebrating once I leave. After all, that is what you wanted right?"

He looked at me like he was trying to figure out the answer to the question I just asked.

"How did you even manage to get into my room?" he questioned.

"I know that you keep your spare key in the drawer of the office desk," I mumbled.

I hear him say some incoherent words about changing his hiding place before leaving his room.

I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding once I was back in my room.

I slept peacefully after coming up with the plan to leave this mansion and go meet one of my friends who lives in Mumbai. I have not met him since I went to London 3 years ago.

*Next Day*

I am waiting for Abhimanyu to leave for the office. Usually, he leaves even before I wake up and today it has been 2 hours since I was awake and he is still in his office. I hope he is not planning to not go to the office at all today.

Just when I was about to give up all hopes of going out and meeting my friend, Abhimanyu came into the living room all dressed up in a white button-up collared shirt with dark blue dress pants. The top buttons of his shirt were kept open which gave me a perfect view of his toned chest. It gave me the flashback of yesterday night when he was shirtless.

"Ahem" Abhimanyu cleared his throat. I didn't realize I was staring at him with my mouth wide open. I really should get myself checked while I am going out today. I hope he didn't catch me gawking over him.

"Like what you see?" he asked

"You wish. I have seen better" I replied.

There was a hint of anger in Abhimanyu's features after I said that. Abhimanyu was about to say something but he was interrupted by Lakshmi Kaki.

"Abhimanyu baba breakfast is ready, please have it before you leave"

"I am running late, Kaki, I will have it in the office," Abhimanyu replied.

"Wait let me pack your breakfast and some snacks real quick" she went to the kitchen before Abhimanyu could throw his tantrums.

Once Lakshmi Kaki gave Abhimanyu his Dabba he left for his work for which I was glad. I waited for 30 mins for Lakshmi Kaki to finish her chores and leave for the grocery shopping so that I could slip out of the house.
