The sun rays penetrating through the curtains broke his sleep, sitting on the bed, rubbing his eyes he took a quick glance at the wall clock; 6:00 am
"Too early" he said to himself and turned to his right to watch the sight which soothes him, his wife who was sleeping peacefully, he caressed her hairs. He was just contented at this sight of hers in their room; with him.
Getting up he decided to finish his morning chores and make a cup of coffee before waking her up. He wanted to take care of her, pamper her and make her feel special apart from telling her that he loves her and not Juhi. Juhi was his past but she is his present and definitely his future too.
He wanted to tell her this last night itself when he rescued her from Rang Mahal, when he saw insecurity and fear in her eyes when he confronted Juhi but decided to speak to her tomorrow sensing her tiredness and the need for her to rest, of course he don't want her to be sick or unhealthy on their first wedding anniversary!
~~~
She woke up and found the room empty as she stepped out of the bed she saw him entering the room with two cups.
"Good morning" he chirped and forwarded her a cup of coffee.
She took the cup and kept on the table saying "not now" and taking her clothes from the cupboard proceeded towards the washroom.
He was standing there submerged in his own thoughts and confusing by her behaviour, never does she refuses coffee in the morning as she loves it and never she replied to him in a tone like that; cold and emotionless still soft and subtle. This lead to made him think of every action of her's since yesterday. She didn't speak much after coming out of Rang Mahal.
She came home with neela ma as he had to go to the police station for the paper work of ragini pandit's case and when he came back he was already asleep.
He decided to talk to her after the breakfast and meanwhile go and have a look at Juhi. He didn't want to but was complied to do so. He was mad at her for hiding the truth from him since five years though she was held captive at rang Mahal but she could have informed him forget it she could have informed police and ask for help.
When she alone at dargah she could have asked anyone for their phone to make a call to police or her family or would have asked the constables present there that day coz it was a night of offering the prayers. She should not have ran seeing Neil there.
She could have asked Avni to help her when she came to their house as she came alone here.
All these thoughts made him angry and he moved towards Juhi's room and questioned her the same as why didn't she escape when she had so many opportunities at her hand listing her all of them.
"I..I was scared" was the only answer he got. Fuming he left her room to join the others on the dining table where he saw his Avni which lightened up his mood.
Breakfast was a hearty affair, everyone was scolding, appreciationg and were caring for Avni, she too smiled but he noticed that her smile didn't reach her eyes. After breakfast everyone retired to their work and Avni to their room after receiving the orders of "only resting" from everyone.
As she sat on the couch she saw Neil entering the room,
"You didn't go to police station today?" She asked and he shook his head in denial "thinking of getting a day off!"
He replied and she nodded her head.
After a few moments of uncomfortable silence he finally mustered courage and spoke
"Avni, we need to talk!"
She looked at him flabbergasted but soon analysed the meaning of his words, she understood he wanted to ask her about her unusual behaviour and reason of not talking to him or pricesely ignoring him and said "but I don't want to."
