SHIPRA POV

I came back home and went to my chamber. I don’t want to go to his chamber anymore. If he wants to talk to me he will come. Thinking I changed and started working on my upcoming designs.

I don’t know how time flew and it's night already. Rama came twice to ask me about my food but I was in no mood to eat so I said I was not feeling good hence was not feeling like eating.

It was already 9 but he still had not come to me. But today I am not going to him. He has to come to me and apologize for his deeds. Chewing my pencil, I thought in irritation.

I again made myself busy with my design. This is the only thing that makes me sane or else I go mad due to all this drama going on right.

I again looked up and saw the time it’s 1 o'clock but he still came to me. But I will be stubborn like him this time.

I don’t know when my eyes felt heavy and slept on my chair only.

Next, when I woke up my whole body was aching due to the odd position of sleeping on the chair.

I looked at the clock and it showed it was 9 am. 

Wow, I sleep till this late? Damn, I will gate late for work thinking I rushed towards the washroom and for the first time in my life I got ready in 15 minutes.

Taking my bag I ran towards my car and saw didi was coming up.

“Good morning Didi,” I said

"Good morning, how come you are late today? Are you feeling ok?” She asked me

"Yes, didi I am fine, just was working till late so.. anyways how are? When is your next appointment?” I shot my second question to her.

 "Oh it’s today afternoon” She replied casually.

"Ok let me finish some work and then I will be back and we will go together.” Saying I started descending the stairs but stopped hearing her answer.

"No need Shivay has appointed Samir for me. He has asked me to take him everywhere I go so I will be fine I guess.” She spoke smiling to herself as she was blushing or maybe feeling shy about something, But for what?

“Samir Bhai? But he is there for my security I guess” I asked in confusion.

“oh, Yes but he said you don’t need security anymore so now he appointed him for me,” He said playing with her Dupatta. (scarf)

“Oh," That’s the only thing I can manage to say right now.

I don’t care about the security or bodyguard, he always enforced them on me but then why did he take them without even informing me?

I need to speak to him. But again when do I talk? He is not even available anywhere.

“Ok didi I should get going then or I will be late” Saying I left for work.

Again only the driver was waiting for me but I don’t care I just care why? Did I want my answers why?

I reached the office and went directly to his cabin and I saw his assistant was running looking at me going to his office but today no one can stop me.

I went in and saw he was alone, locking the door from inside. I looked towards him in rage.

Yup, he has a lock inside in his cabin can you believe this? And I have no idea why you need a lock in your office cabin in the first place? 'Maybe doing some funny business before marriage' My mind mocked. I ignore my mind and look at him.

“What is all this?” I asked dropping my bag on the couch near the door.

He removed his spectacles and asked “what, what is this?” the counter questing me. Now, what is playing questing-question? Again my mind mocked. But today I am too hurt to hear any stupid thought of my mind. Today my heart is paining.

"What is this going on? Why are you behaving so aloof? Why do you have a lock on your chamber? What is all this Rana sa?"

I spill my heart out.

"If there is any problem, talk to me, don't do this." Saying I started crying. 

"I can't stay away from you. Please don’t do this to me please." Saying I walked to him and sat on the floor near his chair.

He was just looking at me without any emotion. and I was looking at him with teary eyes.

Who is he? I don’t know him. He is not my Shivay. My Shivay is full of affection and love. This guy is someone else. I composed myself and took a deep breath before I started.

"What happened Shivay please tell me don’t do this please". I pleaded like a child to him but he buzzed not. 

But today I won't leave till I get my answers. so I kept on looking at him expecting my answers. He turns his face in irritation to another side for a second and again looked at me and said.

"I guess this is not the right time nor right place so I would suggest Ms. Rathod you please go to the cabin and start your work. I don’t like latecomers in my company and you are late today." He stated the fact that I am lat. And what did he just call me? Ms. Rathod? 

"Did you call me Ms. Rathod?" I confirmed because I could not believe my ears.

But he kept on looking in my eyes as if saying YES I did hear this right thing. Now I am raging like a bull.

"So now you even forgot that we even married?" I asked looking directly into his eyes. I know his eyes never lie.
