Never mine..

Amends II

"Ayaan POV"

I literally slept like a bear in his hibernation, it's maybe because I ate almost half of the dinner prepared by swarni. She didn't wanted to talk to me last night so she opted to lock herself again in her room which I respected, I thought I should give her some time to  clear her head.

It's 1:30 in the afternoon and it's still raining outside, "rise and shine ayaan rise and shine" I mumbled while unwillingly leaving my bed, due to my lazy behavior I chose to work from home today but i cant do anything until I  get what I want, her forgiveness.

I ushered into the living area and saw swarni sitting on the floor in front of the chimney reading, I found her reading every time when she is not in the kitchen. I wonder what is she reading about.

I make a call to my assistant and asked him to clear my schedule for today and also asked Max to take a day off, which made him suspicious he was convinced that something had happened to me and he wanted to rush to my place for which I had to make a video call with him to convince him that I am perfectly alright, he worries more than my mum.

I entered the kitchen and saw an empty bowl of ramen after which I took a brief sigh as I was so worried that she will not be eating again. I made a cup of tea for both of us and went back to where my mad wife was sitting. I sat next to her and she shifted in her place, I handed her a cup and she took it. Trust me I was happy and scared at the same time. Happy because of she is not rejecting me around her and scared because she hasn't uttered a single word for next 25 minutes.

"What you reading? " I asked her to break an ice.

"Non of your concern. " She said while yawning .

" Nothing it's just your head is digged into this book for so long and you haven't looked up even once. That makes me curious. "

"Curiosity kills the cat. Plus it doesn't concern you. Plus you and me shouldn't budge into each other's business. You made that clear last night." She said that in such a way which I don't know why it hurts but I knew Rightnow she is hurt more than me.

"Why you doing this to me? Why you're always so worried about me swarni?

" I shouldn't be I am sorry. "She said it again she said sorry for something like this, " But i am sorry i can't stand looking at you like this, you break everyday in front me and I can't handle it anymore. I agree I worry too much about you but tell me ayaan what should I do? What should I do to stop this? is there any reverse strategy for this? "

"I am sorry and see I had my dinner, I am having a tea and I will eat again. I promise I will not starve myself again but please don't stay mad at me please. "

" Good and I am not mad. " She told me while smiling which was fake by the way.

"You are not ugly swarni, you got the perfect figure, perfect face and the smile worth of million dollars. The gold in your eyes is very captivating and your nature is to die for. Whatever I said was out of an anger. Please forgive me for that. " And those words did a magic, she threw me a true genuine smile and for some reason I took a long breathe, like I have stopped it without knowing.

"Don't worry, I don't care how you feel about my appearance because you don't have to live this for long and ugly or not there will be someone somewhere who will definitely love me for real. So you are forgiven only because you are eating now. " Someone will love her I am sure, but it twists my heart which I don't know why.

"By the way whose this boy in the portrait?" She asked me which pointing out the portrait on the wall.

"That portrait above the chimney is mine, my dad forced me into it. But for some reason I am still stick to it. "

"No you should keep it forever, this picture have a good vibes, the innocence in the boy eyes is mind blowing, keep it so that it can't remind you to be like him which you needed to be reminded daily now a days. "

"So tell me about yourself. "

" Like what? "

"Like what you reading there? "

"I am preparing for my exams. To get a scholarship. " She told me proudly.

"I can sponsor you, tell me which college? "

"I don't want your charity ayaan. "She said with an annoying tone. " I am may be alone in this world but i know how to survive. "

"I know and I am proud of you for that but I was just trying to help you. Also do not repeat that you are alone. Married or not I will always be there for you. "

"Thanks" She said with the tears in her eyes.

"Hey don't cry, I am sorry if that hurts you. Okay let's change the topic. Tell me what you wanna do in your life?. "

"I wanna travel the world, but I want to settle in a country which have cherry blossoms" Her sparkling eyes are so magical, she started to get rekaxed we became friends again, she is not mad anymore. We both didn't realized when we took a nap on the carpet. I heard something from the kitchen, a sound of dishes. I lifted my head from the cushion and I saw swarni was lyinG next to me. Two strands of her hair was covering up her face and my hand automatically moved and pushed her hair back of her ear. Than I picked her up into my arms in bridal style and reached her room. When I was tucking her in her bed she held my hand and put it under her face and without budging I also lied down next to her not because she was holding my hand but because I wanted to.
