The room was filled with heavy breaths and gasps as both of them lay tangled in blanket after consummating their cold marriage after a year.
Naina tilited her head and look at kunal a hope flickered in her eyes the hope of May be he finally accept the marriage despite somewhere in her she knew it just to fulfill the family's wish a wish to give them an heir.
She opened her mouth to say something to break the silence but before the word could leave her mouth kunal pulled away his voice rough from their earlier activity, distant and detached when he said. "This means nothing, whatever happened between us was just to fulfill the family wish for heir-nothing more it was responsibility, that's all...this changes nothing between us it will never change anything."
Naina's heartbeat stopped at his words the hope replaced by hurt, her throat felt tight kunal didn't notice the pain in her eyes how could he when he didn't even looking at her.
He put on his clothes and left the room without even glancing back not even once naina lay there on empty bed a tear slipped down from her corner of eye
The room was filled with heavy breaths and gasps now filled with quite sobs.
night grew moonlight streaming in the room through the window the house was quiet naina sabs turned into to soft breaths as exhaustion took over her tears strains was visible on the pillow a proof of how much her heart broke.
But were is no traces of kunal Soft morning sunlight filters through the curtains onto naina her eyes flutter open she sat up wrapping the blanket over her shoulder, Her eyes red from crying.
She went into the bathroom to take a shower as the warm water poured over her not helping the coldness in the house and the marriage
His last night wards echoed in her mind "he didn't come back in the room not even once." she murmured sadly
After taking shower she went downstairs and saw him already in dining room having breakfast she walked in the dinning room took seat opposite from him expecting from him to say something or acknowledge her presence to behave little bit warm after what they did last night
But his all focus on his brekfast his face other hand busy scrolling through his phone like she didn't wasn't in the room her heart ached she blinked back tears that threatening to spill but she refused to let them fall.
She stood up and turned to leave without having breakfast.
"Naina." He called his voice detached
She stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around around.
Get ready before 8. we have gathering to attend." His voice firm leaving no room for arguments
Her jaw tight she gave a sharp nod and left the dinning room.
How can he behave like this after spending night with her, like it's nothing happened between them she feels like fool to expect something from him but it is too much to except some emotions from your own husband their marriage was bound? Or it was their grandparents last wish as their family was a business friends
She went directly for her job she's kindergarten teacher she feels happy and alive staying with little innocent lives, after coming back she got fresh and did some household to ignore the heavy feeling in her chest.
At 7:30 She descended the stairs wearing yellow saree with minimum make up that enhance her beauty even more
Kunal was already standing at main door scrolling through his phone
He didn't' even glance up from his phone when she walked towards him just slipped his phone inside his pocket and walked out of the house not looking back if she was following him or not he stepped in the car without opening door for her
She walked behind him got into the car inside the car was heavy silence kunal's eyes fixed on the road naina looked out of the window the city moving behind as the car moved.
After a half and hour later they reached at a family gathering naina's hand placed on his arm only for the show of an act of normal couple infront of everyone
The gathering was alive with gossip murmured, childern running around they're laugh echoed in the room
They both walked towards his family
How are you, naina?" His mother asked in a warm tone.
I am good." She replied." What about you?" She asked back.
I am also good." His mother said she glanced at Kunal who is busy with his father and then back to her nodded with smile.
The gathering continued naina went in the balcony when she opened the glass door of balcony
"This marriage is nothing to me you know that, you separated me from the girl i was in love with so don't expect anything from me." Kunal's voice was sharp a hint of longing in voice that nothing to do with naina
She froze it at the half open balcony door.
"Whatever you had with that girl is ended kunal naina is your wife now, That girl was your past and naina is your present keep this in your mind." Kunal's father snap at him leaving no room for argument Kunal huffed in frustration but he didn't say anything they both didn't notice naina until the door shut down click reached their ears.
