Chapter 3

The night grew cold night waves brushing against the curtains

Kunal was lying on the couch staring up at the ceiling naina's wards echo in his mind, he tossed turned all night. " I don't care." He whispered in the quiet dark living room

Despite of his words he was unable to sleep his eyes finally closed early in the morning

Sunlight entered into the room through the curtains birds chirping outside the house breakfast aroma filled the house

Kunal blinked a low groan skipped from his lips as his body stiffened up from sleeping on the couch.

He blinked and sat up on the couch rubbing his eyes he looked up the Wall clock seeing the time.

"7:00 am." He murmured and looked towards the hallway where naina had disappeared last night, thinking should he go to her?" He pushed the thought away and walked upstairs to the bedroom to get fresh.

In the bathroom he was standing under the shower water dripping on him both his hands pressed against the cold bathroom tailes he closed his eyes. " What do you think who am I ?

" A whore you slept with a night. telling her it's just for family's wish of an heir and behave like nothing happened next morning Is that what you think I am?" Naina's words flashed back his fist clenched tightly his eyes snapped open he turn off the shower and grabbed a towel.

"Stop thinking." He warned himself but despite of himself the imege of hurt in her eyes last night flashed  back

He shooke his head and got ready for the day.

After getting fresh he descended the stairs he went directly to the dinning room sitting on his seat, maid immediately put a breakfast plate infront of him with polite smile.

His eyes wandered around for something or someone he hesitate briefly before calling back the maid

Where is mam?" He asked awkwardly.

Ma'am?" The maid questioned

"I am talking about Naina ma'am." He asked.

Do You had some work with ma'am? She asked again because he never asked about Naina not before without any work.

kunal shooke his head. " Just asking." He said while eating, The maid's  widened eyes in surprise at his indifference.

Where is she?" He asked his eyes fixed on his plate.  " She didn't come for breakfast ?"

"She went to work." The maid replied." She had her breakfast."

Kunal paused in mid-bite of breakfast. 

" This early?" He looked at the maid.

Yes, she went to work this early since your marriage." The maid replied kunal give signal to leave, the maid bowned down before walking into the kitchen.

Kunal placed the fork on the table he didn't know about when his wife left for work when she comes back nothing. He thought bitterly.

"Whose fault is that?" He questioned himself

His phone vibrated on the dinning table pulling him out of the thought he grabbed his phone he picked up. " Where is Mr Khurana?" A playful voice came from other side

Home pawan." He responded pushing his half finished breakfast plate away.

" Where have you been all this time ? 

"It's long story bro."pawan sighed. "Are you free today?" Pawan asked.

Yes...I just have one shoot then I am  free." Kunal replied

Ok then, let's meet me today." Pawan said. " I send you the address." Pawan said kunal hum in response before hung up the call.

After completing the shooting Kunal left to meet pawan all the time his mind filled with naina wards and image of last night he tried to push away but it came back.

Kunal's car stopped in front of the  coffee shop he parked his car before making his way towards the cafe.

As he stepped in the cafe his eyes dropped on pawan who was already sitting on the table taking a sip of water he wave over kunal with smile kunal walked towards the table and settled down.

Long time no see." Pawan said looking at him.

I can say the same." Kunal shot back pouring himself a glass of water.

Pawan rubbed his back of neck. " I was busy spending time with my family."

"Nice." Kunal nodded his mind was somewhere else.

Pawan noticed lost behavior and snapped finger inbfront of him and asked. " Is everything ok?"

Kunal snapped out of the thoughts and nodded slowly in response. " Just work things nothing else."

Work things or argument with your wife?" Pawan teased leaning against his chair.

Kunal shrugged off. " It's nothing like that."

Oh...I can see on your face." Pawan said his eyes fixed on kunal

Kunal Sigh heavily. " Just normal argument in husband and wife." He lied as he didn't want to talk about personal things.

Waitress put their coffee on the table before leaving.

Ohh is that so." Pawan took a sip of coffee. " Don't take pressure bro."

"Just go and pick up her from her work place." Pawan advised. " Don't forget to bring her favourite flowers." He snapped fingers infront of him.

"Huh... what?" Kunal blinked.pawan put his coffee cup on the table. " See women are very simple They get happy at simple things when you give them their favourite flowers or something they like they will forget everything." Pawan explained.

Kunal bit his inner cheek how can he do this simple gesture when there is nothing simply between them, how can go to pick up her and give her her favourite flowers, how can he do this normal couple things when there is nothing normal between them.

He exhaled sharply and stood up abruptly he can't stay here anymore he has to leave before pawan can suggest something else and force him to do, kunal and Pawan they're friends since college days and he knew pawan's mind.

pawan blinked in confusion asked. " What happened?"

"Nothing. I have to go." Kunal grabbed his phone car keys on the table.

Why all of a sudden?" Pawan asked a hint of smirk played on his lips he said in teasing tone. " Oh going to do what i suggest you."

Kunal rolled his eyes and turned to leave

Wait." Pawan called making him stop on the coffee shop door. " WilI come with you so you can choose the best flowers.

Kunal grunted quietly and stepped out of the coffee shop pawan followed him behind.

After a while at  the flower store pawan look at kunal as from ten minutes they're standing infront of the flowers store and kunal didn't say the name of the flowers.

You don't know, which flowers your wife likes or you don't remember? Pawan asked his eyes fixed on kunal.

Oh..it's nothing likes that." Kunal laughed nervously cursing himself in his mind for being here with pawan.

Then tell which flowers your wife liked?" Pawan asked when his phone buzzed with notification he pulled out his phone to check

Kunal gripped car key in his hand tightly his eyes drafted on the poster on the nearby wall of little girl holding Lily and he noticed his friend's distracted by his phone.

And He responded before Pawan could catch him.

Pawan nodded in response as he scroll through his phone kunal took relief and grab lily flowers from the shopkeeper.

...

He drove Lily flowers bouquet on the passenger seat the scent of flowers filled in the car

I took the flowers but what should I do now?" He asked himself.

His car stopped in front of kindergarten where Naina works as teacher.

He rolled window down and then he saw her laughing with a man around her age
