Masuk6 months later -Tanvi opened the curtains of the window. She had returned from Lonavala just a few days back.Aniket had married her at the same farmhouse where everything started.It was like life coming to a full circle. He never insisted on sleeping with her again after that rainy night until the wedding.Post marriage their life was going smoothly although they still had the awkwardness of living together. Tanvi had taken a month off from work, and they had yet to go on a honeymoon. It was already scheduled - a week in the Maldives however Aniket needed to finish some important work before leaving. Hence the continued going to the office.Tanvi was in the kitchen busy preparing the breakfast. Aniket was in their bedroom getting ready for office. He reached the dining table and smiled at Tanvi who was laying the table."Enjoy your breakfast," she smiled back at him.He nodded a
About an hour later they were seated in her living room."Explain," He said in a commanding voice.Tanvi who had been staring at the carpet patterns all this while said still looking at the carpet " I... don't know where to start.""Start from the beginning. And I know that carpet is most fascinating but please look at me while you talk to me."She looked up slowly "Aniket I love you".He was taken aback would have been an understatement. He smiled slightly."Is that why you gave yourself to me?"It was her turn to look surprised."Yes, I know. Do you think I am that stupid that I would not understand what you were doing? I am not denying that I did not want you. I did and I have no regrets. I just don't get it why are you avoiding me?""I was scared about what you would think of me.I... I am not that type. But I wanted you. I gave
A week later Aniket was fuming in anger. Tanvi was avoiding him like plague. When he had woken up, he expected to see her entangled in his arms. Her hair splayed around them. Instead, he woke up alone. Tanvi had already left. He called her immediately only to reach her voice mail.He had jumped out of the bed to rush out and check on her. He got her message saying, she had reached home and was safe. She was leaving for office hence could not take his call. He was relieved but wondered why she left without waking him up. He could have dropped her.After that, all his efforts to see her was foiled by Tanvi. She was always busy doing some fieldwork. Aniket was at his wits' end because of her. He looked at her latest message - “I have a workshop for slum kids. Talk to you later”.He sighed and called his PA.“Cancel all my meetings. I am leaving for the day. If there’s anything urgent then call
It was quite late when they reached Aniket’s quarters. It was moderately big not huge. She was indeed grateful when she reached the warm interiors, drenched and shivering in rain was not her cup of tea. She followed him into the tastefully decorated living room than a bedroom.He opened his cupboard and rummaged through it while she waited and looked around.“Tanvi I am sorry that’s all I have for you” He passed on a large tee and track pants.She looked at it and laughed “don’t worry I will manage”.He pointed at the bathroom door in the guest room and went to get his clothes. Tanvi proceeded into the bathroom. She took a shower and changed into his clothes. The tee was so big it fell to her knees and the tracks were 3 times her size they were freshly washed but she could still smell him. It was like being engulfed by his arms so that she could smell his masculine scent.She smiled and
Tanvi didn't know how to react "NO! that's not true. I mean why would I care about your alliances. I had to leave due to my assignments. Oh ! the food is getting cold. I am famished let us eat" She lied.He stared at her pointedly but did not pursue further. Tanvi could sense that Aniket looked a little upset. She cursed herself why did she do that, but she also felt a sense of relief that it was all a misunderstanding."But that doesn't change anything he is not in with love me," She thought."Why did you move away Tanvi? Why did you cut me off?" He asked after they finished their dinner."I wanted to be away from everything. Everything, which reminded me of mom and dad.""Do I bring back painful memories Tanvi? If that is the case, I will stop bothering you."She was thoughtful for a moment "Not anymore when mom and dad died everything was so chaotic. Suddenly
Tanvi was able to work smoothly for the whole week because Aniket was sulking. She had refused to shift to Tumkur because she did not have a desk job and had a lot of fieldwork in both Bangalore and Tumkur. Fortunately, he had let her be.She had to visit one of the orphanages, so she rushed out of the office without bothering to inform Aniket. She liked being with kids teaching them and helping them made her forget her pain. The day passed on fast and she was packing up when she was interrupted by familiar “hey”.She looked up to the smiling face of Aniket “What are you doing here?”“I am the District Magistrate I have to keep an eye on everyone. To check if they are working” He smirked.“What do you mean? And how did you know I would be here?”" I know what I need to know, You work too hard. So, the government has decided to give you a free dinner."“What!” She asked confuse
