"What do you mean I was gifted to you?"
"It is not good to eavesdrop but you heard it right. You are a gift that was forcefully imposed on me."
"Y-You... are.... lying..."
"Am I? You know what? Gift is a very fancy term for you. 'Trash' suits you be...

Visiting the orphanage with my husband turned out to be one of the best times of my life. As Kiaan had requested Yuvaan to pay a visit as soon as possible, we gave the kids a surprise by arriving unannounced and brought a lot of goodies for them.
Instead of paying attention to what the caretakers had to complain about the children, I spent my entire morning playing with toddlers and babies. Unlike Shaurya, they didn't deny me and introduced a lot of new games to me.
I sulked when it was time to leave, but Yuvaan promised that we would come there again soon; for now we had to leave as kids needed to rest and do their homework. I understood his concern, and we left for our office after ensuring that everything was fine at the orphanage.
Once we reached our respective cabins, it was all work again. I was dumped under a huge pile of files which Yuvaan gave me to sign. Apart from that, I also had to go through some briefs by our architecture department about the recent projects. I groaned and decided to do some timepass before I started my work.
Just as I plugged in my earphones and began a movie on my mobile, I saw Shaurya entering Yuvaan's cabin with his usual briefcase and some toys. I furrowed my eyebrows when he neatly placed down all of his stuff on the table; I averted my gaze when he glanced at me through the glass partition.
I kept my eyes on my mobile screen, but from the corner of my eyes, I could see the lawyer playing with his small action figures. I heard Yuvaan asking his friend why he suddenly brought so many board games to the office to which Shaurya lectured him about keeping a balance between work and play.
I huffed and put my full focus on ignoring what was going on inside Yuvaan's cabin, but instead of my usual inner voice, I suddenly heard a small child's voice in my head. I tried to shake it off, but it felt like my head was filled with a lot of soap bubbles, and soon, the voice became crystal clear.
I want to play!
As if my body was possessed by some ghost, I snapped up from my chair and headed towards Yuvaan's cabin. My feet felt heavy and then that single inner voice got split up into two. I recognised the other one as my original inner voice which always kept acting like a pervert, but the other one seemed to have more power - a debate was going inside my head.
Stop, Reyna. Where are you going?
Go, go, go! I want to see everything and play till I get exhausted.
