Arjun came back to his room later than he used to. He wasn't willing to face his wife not at this moment actually. He was actually not angry on her but disappointed at how she so easily asked him to forgive his mother. It wasn't her who went through all that trauma, it was him. She don't even know what it actually feels when somebody makes you feel like you are unwanted in the world. That was exactly how he used to feel when his mother suddenly changed her behavior towards him. He was a little child for godsake, he wasn't mature enough to understand all these things. He just remember when his classmate's mothers would come to their PTM and it was also his Roshni Ma who would attend those meetings with him.

He can't forget anything. He might love Tara more than himself but today he was hating himself for giving her so much right to make him feel this pathetic. Without even knowing anything clearly about his life, she straight away came to question him about his choices like he was a stupid, idiot man who was enjoying what he became today. He also wanted to have a normal life just like Kenit and Kinshuk not that he is jealous of them, no. He is somewhere responsible for them having so carefree nature because he didn't want them to feel even a bit of what he felt in his childhood.

She always said Saachi is more mature than her and he should've chosen somebody like her for himself. He always made sure she know how much precious she is to him. But right now, he was remembering how Saachi handled this situation all maturely never talking about this thing because she considered it was his personal decision as he was the one who suffered the most from it.

He opened the door to his room already done with all the things happened with him today. He found her sitting on the edge of the bed probably waiting for him only. He closed the door behind him not in the mood of another argument. She stood up immediately hearing the sound of door closing.

She moved closer to him but he moved past her to check his files which were present on the bedside.

"Ji", she called knowing he was ignoring her. She felt something prickling in her heart seeing his ignorance but he was truly hurt because of her. She sat on her knees in front of him.

"Ji, Please at least look at me", she spoke pleading miserably in front of him. Arjun kept his files aside looking at her lastly.

"What?", He spoke rudely making her keep her head in his lap. To say, Arjun was irritated this point. Why was she doing this? To make him feel more helpless the next moment.

Not able to keep up with his anger, he finally held her hair making her look at him.

"Tara, what the hell do you want from me because right now I am not in the mood of playing", he growled pulling her hair painfully making her close her eyes. He immediately left her hair standing up to move to his study already knowing that he won't get a sleep tonight. She immediately moved to follow him before standing in front of him keeping her hands on his chest not letting him move.

"Please Ji, Don't hurt yourself just because I've been stupid and ignorant towards your feelings. Punish me, shout at me but please don't ignore me", she spoke looking at him.

"Punishment, Tara. So you could tell me the next day that I physically hurt you. I don't trust your words", he spoke making her look down in shame.

"But I trust you", she whispered not wanting his ignorance anymore. She was feeling pain, right now.

"Tell me something Tara, how do you feel when I spank you? Do you feel that I am hitting you", He asked holding her both arms pulling her closer to him. She shook her head while looking down.

"What do you feel than?", he spoke looking at her face.

"I don't know but it's certainly something weird", she spoke embarrassed at this moment making him hold her jaw making her look at him.

"It is weird because you feel pleasured by it. And punishment shouldn't give you pleasure. Should it?", he asked her but she was silent this time. His right moved to her hair pulling them tightly making her close her eyes.

"Don't come in front of me, Tara. When you said you love me? I locked my darkness somewhere inside me so my angel, my baby won't be scared of this devil but now with all your accusation and you thinking of me as the wrong person that darkness is finally out. I am not going to be easy on you", he spoke calmly his face closer to hers.

"I am sorry", she spoke the only thing she had to speak was this only. A simple sorry. What good would it to do him.

"I'll do anything, please. Don't ignore me, Ji. I know whatever I did made you feel that I don't love you but I do. I don't know how to express love and I have been stupid. If you think I overstepped the boundary, please shout at me, punish me, do anything but please don't ignore me", she spoke hugging him tightly.

"Tara, get away from me", he spoke not touching her this time.

"Arjun Ji, I know I did wrong and you might hate me for my words but trust me I only wanted good things for the family. From the childhood, I saw my mother keeping the whole family together so I thought maybe it's possible here as well. I didn't know everything will go wrong like this", she spoke truthfully.

"I didn't had any wrong intentions, please", she pleaded again but it was like his ears were close for her voice to reach to them. He tried to remove her grip around her making her fall to her knees this time.

"Don't do all this drama, Tara. You are only embarrassing yourself", he spoke coldly but she shook her head.

"Please, Ji. I am saying sorry because I know I am wrong. I don't know what else to do. I can't take your ignorance", she spoke making him sit on his knees holding her chin in a tight grip looking deadly in her eyes.

"You will have to take this ignorance to feel how I felt. It's only been a day Tara and you are being this restless, just think how it would be for a long duration", he spoke smirking at this point.

"Please, Ji. Don't be this heartless. If you hate me so much now I would happily step out of your life but you don't have to torture yourself because of me", she was speaking when his hand wrapped around her throat nearly choking her making her close her eyes with the pain inflicted on her body. He made her stand up with the same grip pushing her on the bed.

"You want to be punished, right. I would should you what punishment actually is", he spoke making her look at him in the eyes.

"I am not scared", she mumbled making him laugh.

"Oh I'll make sure you would be", he spoke removing his t-shirt at once getting few things from the closet. Tara wasn't scared at this moment from him but what scared her was his ignorant attitude. She wasn't even able to get a glance of the Arjun, she loved so badly.

She saw him coming back in the room without anything. She looked at him curiously. He said he will get something.

"I was going to go for something but than I thought I am enough for you", he told her making her frown.

"You have played me well, Tara", he spoke tracing his nose on her cheek.

"I never played you", she answered only to feel a tight slap landing on her bosom making her scream. She wasn't ready for it. And it did hurt so much on her clothed body. His hands moved to remove her kurti than rest of her clothes.

"I am sorry", she spoke again seeing nothing in his eyes. It was like he was in a daze. He was doing what his brain was telling him to do which scared her a little. She closed her eyes feeling his hands tracing her soft body before reaching to wrap around her throat pushing her head in the bed making her breath deeply.

"Open your damn eyes", he spoke coldly making her open her eyes immediately staring in his black ones. His eyes made her remember the dark sky. She breathed heavily as he turned her on her stomach before slapping his hand on her butt making her cup her face not to let out any sound.

"You know why you are being treated this way?", he spoke more like asked making her nod her head as a harder slap landed on her butt this time.

"Words", he spoke making her mumble a small yes.

"And what is it", he asked pulling her hair making her look at him.

"Because I overstepped my boundary", she spoke in a small voice making him pull her face closer to his before pecking her lips biting on her lower lip immediately before roughly pushing her in his lap moving to complete her spanking punishment.

She silently took this punishment but a gasp left her lips when he touched her sensitive area.

"I told you, you like it", he spoke pushing her on the bed this time making her hiss with the contact her skin made with the bedsheet.

"You are feeling pain, right", he asked holding her chin in a tight grip but she shook her head immediately making him smile evilly before tracing his nose on her neck taking in her scent.

"Good because I am not done", he spoke before entering inside her roughly making her grit her teeth to stop the moan which was waiting to leave her lips.

"I am going to make sure, you know what you destroyed", he spoke going all rough on her small body while she took everything knowing the fact that it was all been done because she wanted it. It wasn't what this punishment was about, it was who Arjuna actually was. She always knew he stopped himself whenever they got intimate but today he let go of everything showing who he actually was.

=============================================================================

The next day Tara woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She moved to sit down properly only to hiss feeling pain in her whole body. Her eyes caught the glimpse of her husband who was sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands covering his face.

"Are you okay, Ji", she asked not able to keep herself from asking. He immediately removed his hand from his face looking at the floor.

"Tara, your cousin is getting engaged next month. You would be needed there so you should probably go to help your family", he spoke moving to the bathroom to take a shower.

What does that suppose to mean? She asked herself. Was he telling her to leave? She wondered as the tears she was holding back last night made their way down her cheeks. Did this fight made him hate her this much that he wants her to leave as soon as possible.

She looked up as he came out getting all ready and left immediately not even giving a glance at her and she knew many things were in danger at the moment. Otherwise, why would he send her for a month. Maybe, it was his way of telling her that he didn't want her anymore in his life.

Or maybe, that he didn't want anything to do with her anymore. All this because she wanted to make better relationship between his mother and him. Do she deserve this big of a punishment?
