Chapter 23: Chapter 23

NAINA KUMARI

What can I do in this matter? If he hadn't been so arrogant then, now he doesn't have had to fall into this situation. Making yourself a fun item, how you're feeling now, Kunwar Sa?

I thought in my mind and laugh hard. When I was heating his poha. I feel his piercing gaze on me. I know he can't see my face then why he is looking at me like this? After heating the poha in the microwave I placed it on a plate and handed him with a spoon.

He took the plate from my hand and I take my leave from there.

"Wait." My steps halted hearing his voice. So I turned on my heel to face him.

"Yes," I respond very meekly. How much venom he has in his heart for me I don't know. But I have innumerable love in my heart for him. Then how can I ignore him? And stay angry with him?

"It was yours, right?" He asked me in no voice. Just like whispering. I don't know suddenly what changed him? But it's a good thing.

"Yes." I gave him a short reply.

"So you haven't eaten anything yet and going to sleep with an empty stomach? Why?" He asked me amazed.

But without letting me answer his question he speaks.

"It's because I didn't eat. Right?" He asked and I simply nodded my head affirmatively.

"Stupid." He muttered and start walking out of the kitchen. And I followed him.

"Where are you going?" He asked when found me going towards my room.

I really want to say these words, Are you blind? Can't you see that I'm going to my room? Then I deleted my bitter thought and turned to answer him.

"Back to my room," I said meekly.

"Come over here." He asked me to go near him. But why?

Without asking anything I walk near him and stood keeping a decent distance between us.

"Sit." He ordered me to sit next to him. What happened to him suddenly? Why he's acting so weirdly?

I saw him taking one plat from the table and putting some poha on it. Then he passes it to me.

"I can't see your face but still I can understand that you are hungry like me. Though It's your dialogue, still I want to say it to you. Sleeping with an empty stomach is not a good thing for health. So have it." He said in an ordering tone.

Concerned! For me? Who? Kunwar sa? But how?

"I have no appetite. You eat this too."

Saying that I push the plate and make a move to go from there but my next step got halted.

When I feel my wrist gets caught by a strong grip. I snaped and found my wrist on his hold. An electric shock ran through my hand to the whole body with his touch.

"I said, sit." Holding my hand firmly he made me sit next to his chair. And then placed the plate in front of me. "Finish it."

Kunwar Sa is not as bad as he tries to appear. Because he is Pitaji's and Maa Sa's son. Their blood ran into his nerves.

"In our place, people say, when two people share their food with each other, love increases between them. Then how should I take it?"

I asked him while eating my food.

"Hey, you.....ahh.... don't have to fla....flattered yourself. I'm not a pig. Who can eat so much food at once? It.....it was.... too much for me that's why i..... gave you some. I don't want to waste food. Don't think that..... I'm concerned for you. Take it like, I'm doing this to increase hate between us."

At first, he was smattering. Don't know what to say to save his ego. He looked at me with a weird face when he hear me laughing. The first time I laughed in front of him and also this loudly.

"What's so funny?"

He asked stupefied staring at me.

I somehow controlled myself and speak.

"Your words are not less than any joke. Hate does not grow while caring or sharing. No person is so concerned about someone for the sake of hatred. Your care and concern for me don't define your hatred for me. But..... " I pause intentionally to see his reaction. And I find him looking at me with some curiosity in his eyes.

"Define your goodness." Leaving no space for further conversation I get up from my seat holding my empty plate. I made my way to the kitchen thinking what would he be thinking?

SAMEER PRATAP SINGH

When I throw the plat of poha on the floor.

I was mad at her. But talking with Puneet I understood what I did was totally wrong?

I was mad at her because she disclosed everything to Rasiya about our marriage.

But if I think about it from another side then she has made my problem easily. I was getting mad thinking that how to tell Rasiya about our marriage. Now everything comes out at once. Just one thing has gone wrong. I didn't want this matter to come out like this.

It is said that whatever happens, happens only for good. Now Rasiya knows that I'm married to Naina. One burden has been lifted from the heart that I'm not keeping Rasiya in dark.

But I'm doing wrong with Naina. Neither I'm leaving her nor I'm giving her the right of a wife or any respect. She is living her life in one corner of the house. She takes care of all my needs. Cooking meals for me, washing my dirty clothes, cleaning my room and the whole house, all the household chores she handles alone. She takes care of everything even me. She never let me sleep on an empty stomach.

Always waits for me at night. Eats food only after making sure I have eaten. Whenever sometimes I eat food from parties, then she goes to sleep without eating.

She thought I didn't notice. But she does not know that I keep an eye on her and know every information about her.

She has never used my credit card for her expenses. Whenever she uses it. Either it's for groceries or buying any other things. But I had never seen her spend any money to buy anything for her. Perhaps, I gave false accusations about her, that's why?

I have been judging her wrongly. I have used so many bad words for her. What I thought about her, she is not like that at all. She is the opposite of my assumption.
