Chapter 4:" First Panic Attack "

Two weeks later. 

Gauri realized she couldn't do it , her hopes that Arun would let her be during the course of their marriage took a abrupt death,  when he walked into kitchen two days ago and told her that they are going on a honeymoon trip . 

Gauri sent her family home , few days after her marriage because she refuse to let them hover over any longer and the next one week Arun let her be and do whatever she wished which was locking herself up in her room and only using the kitchen to feed her baby if she was hungry . 

She didn't cook for him , talk with him unless he talked first or spend time with him alone and she had almost hoped the marriage would be like this forever until two days ago .

" Vinoth would return next week and it would be suspicious if you stayed ten meters away from me, that it better if we went away for a little awhile until he gets time to rent a new home so he won't notice anything , " Arun spoke up,  and it surprised her that he went as far as asking his brother to leave for her . 

" Look we can stay locked up in a hotel room for month and I will get a suite that a two bedroom everything will be just the same but a different place,  " Arun answered back ,  and she agreed because if Vinoth , Arun brother would have to believe her child was his brothers than he can't see them standing ten meters apart every single day . 

So when they stepped into the suite which Arun forgot to mention had been an honeymoon suite ,she was taken back by fear that in spite of his promises that he will never touch her , he had suddenly changed his mind . 

The big hotel bed didn't help her mind at the moment ,it was on one such bed she woke up two months ago with no recollection of what happened to her and found the monster lurking near ,nope she refused to think about him . 

Her nightmares had been more than enough to remember him ,suddenly she felt like she couldn't breathe as she gasped for air and her lungs felt like it was no longer functioning and as then the fear that she may faint took root and her panic increased ten fold, and when a hand pressed her shoulder,  she flinched and pushed him away . 

It didn't matter that she couldn't do much damage to the man standing beside her who barely a moved an inch even when she pushed him with force yet he took his hands away from her and took few steps back on his own accord . 

" Gauri ,close your eyes , Count to ten from backwards .Breathe in and out . Do it ,I promised you Gauri that I won't touch you .Trust me , " Arun voice echoed through her brain ,  as she tried valiantly to control her heart rate and confusion. She did as he said and found herself calming down a little yet she remained wary of him . 

This wasn't what he promised , how can she trust him when she stood before a decorated bed . Her mind was planning on an escape route away from him and she realized she was stuck in a new place with him far away from her home . Once again the panic began to set in until he heard his voice again talking to someone else . 

" This isn't the room I booked ,what were you thinking,  " he was speaking to someone else , and she looked back at him finally to see him on phone .

He cursed silently when he ended the call after hearing whatever they had to say but he didn't look happy rather angry that it somehow made her believe it wasn't his intention . 

" Vinoth went ahead and changed my plans , I shouldn't have let him know the hotel we are staying . I just wanted him to have our location in case of emergency,  " he answered back,  and Gauri relaxed when she learnt it hadn't been his idea .
