I got up at 8 in the morning actually it was late than my usual timing I wondered how did I sleep like this?? When I looked around the room I didn't see Arjun there, I guessed may be he went out. I went to washroom and finished my morning routine then returned to room from the closet.

I saw Arjun in his formals and he was searching for some file. I avoided him and moved away near the door. Suddenly he called my name "Radhika", I stopped without looking at him.

He said "We need to talk something important, shall we??". I nodded my head and sat on the couch.

Next minute he sat near me with a decent distance and said, "I know you were angry with me but, it's between us. So, I never want our families to know about this. I want you to behave well with my family and vice-versa I will do. I know my grandmother is little annoyed with this marriage so please ignore her words and be patient with her, I can't tolerate her misery". He completed his lecture then looked at me intensely but, I didn't reply and turned my eyes outside.

He gritted his teeth and grabbed my hand and said, " If I ask you anything better learn to answer me, never dare to ignore my words. I don't want to hurt you anymore, don't make me to regret once again", he finished and left the room as a storm.

I sat there for sometime and recollected his words "I don't want to regret again...." It means did he feel bad for his misbehaviour?? I was in thought for sometime then ignored his words and went down to have breakfast. I saw Arjun with his granny, she was keenly observing me from my head to toe. I was uncomfortable with her observation, but still I bend down to take her blessings surprisingly she smiled at me and blessed for long life. I had my breakfast silently they both were chatting something like invitation, guest list but nothing went into my ears I was thinking about my family I missed them really. Suddenly someone patted on my shoulders with a jerk I returned to present it was Arjun.

"Radhika this weekend we will have our reception so we need to do some shopping, I will come by late afternoon to pick up you, so you be ready" said Arjun. Simply I nodded my head and said "ok sir I will be ready".

"What???" His granny exclaimed and looked at me suspiciously.

She turned her gaze into Arjun and asked him,

"Is she your wife or employee why the hell she was calling you sir after your marriage??" He gave a stern look at me.

Oh god!! The devil is back I was nervous definitely he will punish me now, before marriage itself he told me to call him by his name but I'm unable to do that I'm not comfortable with him. How will I handle now?

Arjun said "Granny still she is my employee she is going to join our office after reception may be she would have confused and called me sir, I assure hereafter she won't call me like that at home".

His granny was shocked to hear that I'm going to join his office she asked, "Why will she work what is the need of that??"

I started to panic, I tried hard to convince this devil, now if she continue speaking like this definitely he will change his words.

Surprisingly Arjun said, "Grandma, It's her passion I respect that let her work it doesn't matter to me instead I feel proud about my wife, she is not depending on my money and earning on her own".

I was amazed at his words eventhough it was fake the way he called me as his wife gave me some kind of pleasure. After that his granny didn't talk about this. We finished our breakfast and he left to office I moved to my room silently to ignore her observation.

Evening we went to do shopping I dressed up with white salwar with matching earrings I did a minimum make up. He took me to one of the best designer shop in the city he told me to select whatever I want while he was busy in his call. I was shocked to see the price I didn't select any out of confusion if I select any costly one he will mock me, lif I go with cheaper one then also he will mock me so, better I decided to wait for him.

After a call he returned and asked me "Did you select any??" I was speechless because his breathe was touching my ears he was standing exactly back to me, my face turned red, I moved little away from him and whispered "No... better you select I'm not interested".

He looked at my eyes casually and picked one lehenga that was in lite green and peach colour with heavy stone works, so elegant and looks royal. He told me to try that, I went to trail room and tried. I was damn surprised to look at my own reflection it suits me well I looked so pretty in that dress. I walked out of the room to show it to him. He gave me awe look I was completely shy, then the sales woman said I look gorgeous in this dress, I blushed and thanked her. But I never failed to notice Arjun's glance on me, his lips were curved a little.

Later he picked a matching peach colour sherwani for him. Also he purchased some matching jewellery for me with a condition of returning everything to him after reception, I don't want to live in his money or never want to give him a space to think like that.

He took me out for dinner, it looks like a five star hotel. Definitely per dinner will cost my half the month salary. I scolded myself for coming here with him but without showing my internal thoughts I said," I will pay for what I eat ", with a smirk he nodded.

After few minutes all of a sudden someone patted on his shoulders we both turned back it was his friend. They both greeted each other and Arjun turned his head towards me and about to say something suddenly his friend said, " Hi gorgeous!! you look so beautiful", he tried to flirt with me.

I was uncomfortable with his gaze so bend my head down and I was thinking how to introduce myself to him, Arjun noticed all this. Suddenly he pulled my waist and declared to his friend, " She is my wife Radhika Arjun Ram", with a sharp voice.

His friend was nervous had sweat drops on his forehead, he smiled at me sheepishly and he left the place instantly(no actually he ran away scared of Arjun). I was surprised at Arjun for his gesture but it was really funny to look at his friend. I tried to control my laughter and then I realised still I was in his holding I took off his hand instantly. He gave me sharp look but never said any word we finished our dinner silently. Throughout the time he watched me keenly but, I chose to ignore him. During the travel also he didn't speak anything glared at me sometime, but I know his silence is not good sign, especially for me. But ,why?? And what happened to him suddenly?? I was thinking.

After returning home straight away he went to his grandmother and had few words with her(this is his routine I understood after marriage). I took a shower and changed into night pant and t-shirt. I stood infront of mirror and combed my hair Arjun entered into the room and locked the door. He was stunned for sometime and looked at me like piercing my soul. I looked away from him avoiding his gaze and continued to comb my hair.

Suddenly he came near me with his baby steps my heart started to beat fast but I tried to hide from him. I held the comb stronger I acted like he was not existing in that room. He pulled the comb from my hand and threw it away. I was at cold feet and moved back from him but stopped by the wall behind me.

I thought in my mind, "God what is he upto?? This devil will transform at anytime. What will I do if he assault me today?? Like that day"

Shockingly he pulled me closer to him and held my arms I tried to release but his clutch tightened. He bend down near my ears and whispered, "Why you didn't tell him that you are my wife?? He tried to flirt with you why you didn't stop it??".

"I..I.." stammered inbetween and said, " No..I tried but I....was so reluctant to say, before that you said".

With a pause I continued to say, "Sorry sir here after I will be careful" His eyes turned red in anger my legs started to shiver I was frightened to look at him.

"Listen Radhika you are my wife, so called wife I don't like others flirting with you we are legally married"

He breathed heavy and said, " One more thing granny was suspicious at us because of you. Behave like a newly married girl don't give space for rumours. You will call me Arjun from now on or if you want to keep some nick name that too fine for me", he mocked me with a smile.

I was astonished and said, "Sir I need some time, I'm not comfortable with you I feel like we are a strangers eventhough married".

He looked at me fiercely suddenly he inched me close to him by pulling my waist I lost my balance and fell on him. I tried to break his hug but he was stronger than me I mumbled, "Sir..rr.. I..I.. said no..no.. physical.. relationship so.. please leave.. me. I thought you.. you.. are a gentleman.. please...".

He was shocked for a while then giggled and said, " who said I'm a gentleman?? Hmm... my little sweet potato" he whispered near my ear.

What sweet potato?? My eyes popped out and said the same.

"Yes your nick name" he said and winked.

I hit his chest to break the hug instantly he held my both the hands and locked it in my back with his single hand another hand brushed my cheeks and move behind my neck I gasped my breath.
