Finally!

The whole fiasco is over. Now I can have my precious sleep which I am deprived of since a lot of days.

"Avni go and have your rest. You look tired. You've been worrying yourself out too much these days." Mom said patting my head.

"Yess..! I am actually very tired." I said and started to walk holding my lehenga but it was really difficult because the skirt was fucking heavy!

I just groaned and then I heard someone chuckling beside me.

I looked beside me to see that Veer was standing there trying to control his laugh which he was failing miserably at.

"No matter what, you're still going to be the same brat!" He said and helped me lift up my lehenga in both my hands.

"Come, let's go. I don't want you falling and breaking a few bones because of this." He said and laughed.

I just glared at him.

He thinks my situation is very amusing, huh!

We walked towards the stairs and after crossing the stairs I was going to turn right towards my room when Veer held my hand.

I turned around and looked at him raising my brows.

He just pointed towards the left corridor.

And I was still looking at him questioningly.

He just rolled his eyes and said

"I never knew you had short term memory loss."

"What are you talking about?" I asked still confused.

He came closer to me and whispered in my ear "Did you forget you got married to me, Mrs. Singhania?"

I stood there wide eyed.

Shit!

How can this thought not cross my mind?

I am married now!

He moved back and just started laughing again.

I just narrowed my eyes at him and huffing I started walking towards his room.

Uh huh!

Our room!

"Wait, Avni." He yelled but I kept walking ahead.

When I reached our room, I just turned the nob and opened the room. I was going to lock the door before he gets but that asshole entered the room before I could lock it.

"What? You can't just keep your husband like this out of the room." He said getting in and locking the door.

I just turned around trying to walk away but he held my hand and whispered in my ear "That too on our wedding night."

My eyes were as wide as saucers.

What's gotten into him?

Before I could retort to him my ankle tiwisted and I winced.

These stupid heels!

"Are you okay?" Veer asked and made me sit on the edge of the bed.

"Oww, No! Why did you think I winced If I am okay." I glared at him.

"Why are you this cranky? I thought you would be happy you've married your prince charming." He said with a smile on his face.

I scoffed at him.

He lifted my lehenge and held my leg and I winced again.

"Just a minute. Let me take a look at it." He said trying to lift my leg.

"Why the hell did you wear these 6 inch heels?" Veer asked irritated.

"I had no option Veer! Trisha had this for her wedding." I said still wincing because he was applying pressure on my ankle.

"You know you don't go well with these long heels. Your foot is swollen. Why are you always this careless when it comes to yourself?" He blabbered while examining my foot and I just sat there stiffling my laugh.

"It is not funny!" Veer said irritated and got up to get the first aid box.

He made me sit properly on the bed and then took my leg over his thigh and started massaging it.

"Veer, I am fin—

I started but he interrupted

"Can you be quiet for a while?" He asked glaring at me.

I sat there just staring at how he was handling my foot as if it was made of glass and it would break if he would apply too much pressure.

"You're not performing a surgery, You know." I said and chuckled.

He just rolled his eyes at me. Like he does always.

"I'll bring you your clothes here. Stay still. Don't move too much." He said and stoop.

"Aye Aye captain." I said to him and smiled.

He just shook his head and went away smiling.

He came in with my pajamas and then gestured me to change.

I was going to get up when he picked me up very swiftly and kept me on the chair before the dressing table.

"You're getting heavier day by day." He said mischeviously.

I smacked his head and he winced.

He started removing my hair pins and other stuff. He was really engrossed in his work and I was engrossed in admiring him.l through the mirror.

Soo Handsome!

"Stop staring." He said not looking at me but a goofy smile on his face.

"What If I want to stare?" I asked raising my brows.

His cheeks burned up and gosh he was looking so fucking cute.

He blushed!

Really?

"Get changed. I'll wait outside the closet. Be careful." He said and left with the same goofy smile on his face.

Is it possible that he feels something for me?

I just lied on the bed staring at the ceiling lost in my own thoughts while he was in the washroom.

What is he thinking about this marriage?

What if he will hate me for it?

"What are you thinking about?" He asked sitting on the bed.

"Umm— Nothing." I said and turned sideways away from him.

I could feel him shifting.

Suddenly a hand was draped around my waist and my eyes widened.

He slid his other hand under my head and pulled me towards him.

Now my back was touching his front and his hand was wrapped tightly around my waist.

"What are you doing?" I asked trying to remove his hand but he just tightened his hold on me.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked again but now because of his proximity my heart was going a bit pitter patter.

Stop with that fluttering!

"Are you mad at me?" I asked a bit unsure.

"Why would I be?" He asked.

"Because we got married without your consent. I should've told yo— I was saying but he again interrupted me.

"I never wanted to get married to her.

I don't know for some strange reason I wasn't ready to accept her as my wife.

I was more drowned towards you always." He said.

My heart literally skipped a beat!

"Then why'd you agree?" I asked him trying to cool down my heart.

"You know it." He said and nuzzled his face in my hair.

"So you were ready to give up on us? Without trying?" I asked him as I turned around and now was face to face with him.

"No— he started saying but I interrupted him.

"No, you were. You could have done anything! But getting married to her ? That too when you knew that maybe you have something for me and I definitely feel alot for you!" I said raising my voice a bit.

"Avni! I didn't have a choice. You know that!" He said irritated.

"We had a deal! And you know it now. Why are you throwing a fit about it?" He asked still irritated.

And I sat up straight from the bed and said "Because it is always that our choices that matter in the end."

"And I was never your choice. Even now I am not here because you chose me. I am here because I chose you. I've been chosing you since forever! But I don't know if it is the same with you." I added frustrated.

"Avni. You know it was complicated." He said trying to stay calm.

"Yess. But you could have told us about the truth. Anyways we found a solution to your problem but it would be easier if you would have discussed things with me or us." I said.

"How does it change anything?" He asked.

"It does! Because you would've chosen me me. But right now, It is only me chosing you always! You're decisions always end up by giving up on me. For once, I wanted you to choose me. But you didn't." I said and got up with the pillow to move towards the couch.

"Avni, you're being irrational." He said and got up in sitting position.

"Come back on the bed, now!" He said in his authorative tone.

I rolled my eyes at him.

As if I am scared of you!

"Fine, have it your way!" He said and slept covering his body with the duvet.

I went towards the couch and I don't know when sleep took over me.
