Chapter 3

• Dharani POV
• **************
• "I am impressed I thought you will try to get out of this room" he said to me. I am just looking down and crying.
• "Now go and prepare food for me" he said and jerked me. I nodded and started walking but my feet are paining like hell. I somehow managed to walk to the kitchen and started making dinner. Later I prepared the dinner and arranged the table. I was about to call him but he came down and had his dinner silently. I just stood beside him though my feet are paining. He had his dinner and went to his room not even glancing at me. I cleaned the dining table and the cleaned the vessels. I don't have an appetite to have food so I didn't prepared for myself. He told me to use the common bathroom so I went to the bathroom and cleaned my feet and looked for any glass pieces luckily there are none. I went to kitchen and then took some turmeric powder and applied it on by injured feet it pains a lot but it will give relief quickly. I slept there on the floor of kitchen thinking what will happen tomorrow.
• Akash POV
• ***********
• Whenever I looked at her big doe eyes it makes me feel something. Her doe eyes held innocent but I know she is not innocent, she is gold digger otherwise who will marry without seeing each other I sighed and sleep consumed me.
• Next day as usual she cooked breakfast for me and I had it.
• "You remember the rules right" I asked her and she nodded her head. This girl really test my patience.
• "Words" I shouted at her.
• "Yes" she said to me and I nodded and left from there.
• I went to my cabin only to be welcomed by my beloved father note the sarcasm. It is all because of him I married that ugly girl. Really ugly? you didn't even saw her face clearly and you already like her big doe eyes my subconscious taunted me.
• "Good morning Akash" dad greeted me and I did the same.
• "So how is Dharani" he asked me.
• "Who is Dharani dad" I asked him and he looked at me shocked. Why is he looking at me like that.
• "Don't you know who Dharani is" he asked me. Is she that important person.
• "No dad now tell me who is she" I asked him being irritated.
• "Dharani is your wife Akash" he told me and I realized how big mistake I have done. I don't even know her name.
• "Don't tell me that you don't know your wife name" he asked me raising an eyebrow.
• "No actually I don't call her with her name I call her with nicknames so you know what I mean right" I got up with an excuse and he seemed to be ok with it and didn't asked me further questions.
• Later, I finished my work and went to home only to see lying on the floor. I quickly went to her and patted her cheeks to wake her up but she is not waking up. I took her to the couch and called the doctor. Later doctor has arrived and checked her.
• "What happened to her feet Akash" the doctor is my childhood friend so she calls me with my name.
• "I don't know sanjana" I told her but I exactly know what happened to her.
• "Okay let me check" she said and checked her feet and I saw bruises on her feet and she treated them.
• "She is having fever and I gave her an injection and she will be fine" she said to me and I just nodded.
• "Take care of her and apply the pain relief cream to her feet" she told me and I thanked her. Later she left and I went to my room without even glancing her. Why should I, she is not my wife and she is just a maid and why should I care about her I thought myself.
• But i'm feeling very guilty so I went 2 or 3 times to check her and saw her sleeping peacefully on couch and I applied the pain relief cream in her feet then I came to my room and slept.
• Next day I got ready and went down to see her coming outside the kitchen with breakfast. She didn't noticed me and continued her work. I too didn't cared about her and later had my breakfast and left from there.
• Dharani POV
• *************
• I woke up and felt something soft under me. I opened my eyes and saw I am lying on a couch.
• Oh god
• What have I done and how I slept here. I got up with a jerk and looked for him. If he sees me like this then he will punish me. I got down and felt something under my feet and saw bandage to it. It means my husband treated my wounds and placed me on the couch. I am feeling so happy that he is caring for me. After my parents death I never got love and care from my family and I always craved for love but never got it. I did my morning chores and went to kitchen to make breakfast and I prepared the breakfast and served to him. I thought he will ask me about my wounds but he didn't said anything and left for office. Maybe he is not into expressing emotions. I chucked at my thoughts and did the house chores and had my breakfast as he instructed.
• Like this one week passed and he didn't talked to me once. I too didn't tried to talk to him because I am afraid of him what if he hits me or shouts me.
• I was in his room cleaning and I heard someone calling my name.
• "Dharani" I heard a voice and turned to see who is he. I saw Akash coming inside the room fuming.
• He came to me and THAP....he slapped me with such an intense that I fell on ground. He bend down to my level.
• "Why did you touched my things" he shouted at me and again slapped me.
• "What are you talking about" I asked him.
• "Why did you misplaced my files I told you not to touch my things then why the hell you did it" he yelled at me.
• "I didn't do anything" I told him in a low voice.
• "Don't you dare to tell lies. I already told you not to break the rules and you will get the punishment I think it's time for it" he said to me and took his belt. I gulped thinking what will happen next.
• "Please listen to me I didn't misplaced your files I just put them in an order.
• "Please" my words were cut off as he slapped me.
• "Ahhh" I cried in pain. He slapped me again. Then he left me, after warning don't touch my things.
