Arjun's POV

I pulled her towards me, she lost her balance and fell on me. I hugged her gently, slowly I was loosing my mind seeing her divine beauty. Her body shivered (I was unsure whether it was because of rain or due to my proximity) suddenly she hugged me tight, I was in some other world it was the first time she hugged me herself.

After a while I asked her about my nick name, eventhough my brother in law said what it meant, still I want to hear from my little sweet potato.

She didn't reply I thought she might be shy, but to my shock she denied what my BIL said. I was curious so what did she name me?? I saw a fear on those innocent eyes I know she was fear about me, I assured her with my gesture.

Slowly she opened up it meant "Devil" hubby, I laughed at my wife's naughty side, but internally I was hurt to know how she thought about me. I know I was doing everything possible to make her hate me, but my love for her was growing endlessly.

Surprisingly she found out I was hurt at her words, she took my cheeks in her palms and tried to convince me about her words, she said sorry and expressed her good wills about me.

I was ecstatic to know my wife care about my feelings. I asked her once again to reassure her feelings about me, I got my answers from her eyes, I forgot everything and lost in her innocent and I beautiful eyes.

Little I know was, she was also affected by me, slowly I pinned her in the wall inched closer to her, her half wet feather body touched mine. Gradually I took her arms and placed it on my shoulders. She blushed immensely her cheeks turned red, rain water droplets fell on her trembled lips. I was an urge to taste that.

I started to kiss her gently plumpy cheeks, beautiful eyes, sharp nose then the most beautiful glossy strawberry lips. She didn't stop she never took a step to move from me instead her body anticipated, my kiss turned into passionate one, her hands played with my hairs, rubbed my neck, caressed my shoulders. I was sure she was lost in that moment, slowly I released her when she was in short breathe, I never want to hurt her in this process.

She looked more adorable with that swollen lips, heavy breath, untied wet hair and reddish cheeks. I couldn't control myself my thumb played with her lips and cheeks. I whispered in her ears, " my little sweet potato", she was surprised at that moment and burried her face on my neck crooks.

Her fingers played on my messy hair, I pulled her tight holding her waist and started to press my lips in her neck crook, shoulders, ears, then slowly moved front towards her collar bone, jawline, her face atlast ended up in her lips again it went to another passionate lip lock with full of desires.

We were not sure how long it went a sudden lightning brought our senses back I was at guilt to see her messy face, she didn't look at me, instead she pushed me aside and ran away to the washroom.

I was so much hurt and in shock to see her actions, I felt that she was uncomfortable with me, with my touch.

The way she broke our hug and pushed me away made clear she didn't like me and still she hate me. Or else how can any girl can move in this situation??

She will act like this only if she doesn't like that guy. Now I'm sure she is not at all interested on me, I felt dejected. Tears blurred my vision, I went into the pain of rejection. Then why didn't she stopped me when I kissed her ??

My heart and mind started to fight with eachother. My heart said she likes me but, my mind warned me to not to have any hopes on her. Finally after a while my mind won, I was convinced she showed me pitty not love, I kissed her forcibly just her harmone reacted, I was shattered and went out of our room immediately, then I took my car and drived aimlessly.

It was around early morning 4' o clock I was sitting at beach side and was thinking about my miserable life. Each and every nerve of my body were yearning to live with her but my bitter secrets stopped me as Im not suitable for her. I cried out my pain to the sea waves and the moon light.

My mobile rang all of a sudden it was from her, I was restless to see her call. What if she demands for a divorce right now I thought to save her memories atleast for two years to live my entire life. I was in panic state, so I didn't pick her call after three calls she didn't ring me up. I was relaxed a bit but, more than that I was hurt to know she was not bothered much about me.

After sitting there till early morning I went to my home by 6, I was sure she might be slept, I know she won't wait for my return. With a sad smile I entered our room, as I expected she was sound asleep, she was like a sleeping beauty. I stood there for sometime and went to washroom, I didn't take a long time to finish my morning routine then I dressed up, and immediately went to office before that I had some words with grandma.

Again I received call from her around 10'o clock, I'm sure she was awake but, I was scared to pick her call. After an hour I got a call from reception to know that my Radhika, was waiting outside. She never tried to meet me in office hours but today she came here all the way to ask divorce, I was much hurt and in so much pain to see her efforts to leave me.

I refused to meet her with some excuses and I decided to flee away from this country till she gets cool down. I didn't give her a chance to talk with me or meet me, without showing my face to her, I walked out of my office.

She called me again and again, to stop her from worry I sent her a message about leaving abroad and asked her to take care of grandma until I return. I know eventhough she was angry at me, she wouldn't leave granny alone in my absence, she left a reply message to me.

With a heavy heart I left to Europe. But everyday I enquired about her to grandma. But never I received a call or text from her, internally I longed for that.

Next two months were a hard time of my life, I tried to focus only on my work ignoring her thoughts but, I can't resist her thoughts.

One fine day granny called me and informed about her travel plan to my sister Sarika's house, since she was pregnant with her second baby.

I was waiting for a chance to return home, desperately, because it's been two months I left her, I was longing to see my wife.

When I returned home my eyes searched for her every nook and corner of the house but, she was no where to be found. I spoke louder than usual, I expected atleast she would come out after hearing my voice, but to my disappointment she didn't turn up.

Holding my pain inside I went to our room to see her, she was not there then I guessed she was in washroom. I took my laptop and started to divert my mind on work until she come out.

Door opened she came out, hearing her anklets sounds I lifted my head and looked at her. She looked gorgeous as usual.

She didn't look at me even for a single time, her ignorance pierced my heart, A painful question popped out in my mind.

Didn't she miss me in all these days??

She behaved like I was not existing there. She combed her hair, clutched it neatly after then she applied kajal in her eyes,. When she tried to put vermillion in her forehead, I noticed her fingers trembled, instantly she bit her lips to control her. I know whenever she was anxious she would do that, I know her all little cute reactions, I'm addicted to that.

With a little hesitation I tried to strike a conversation but, she didn't care that. She was about to leave my eyes filled with tears, still I called her but she didn't respond and left the room by banging the door on my face.

Once again I felt the pain of rejection, I had some hope while I returned from abroad, but now I was shattered to see her rejection. I made up my mind, tried to accept her hatred and went to office.

By the midnoon she left office with a hurry, I saw her fortunately, our eyes met for a while, she turned her gaze.

But what was in that eyes??

I was confused there was no anger for me it shows a pain and hurt. I felt she became thin and had dark circles around her eyes. But why??

I wondered, what happened to her.

Did she miss me like a way I missed her??

No way she wouldn't if she would have missed me she wouldn't turned her face at the morning. Maybe she missed her family I'm not so lucky to be in that list, I gave a sad smile and walked in.

Evening I went home and surprised to see the dinner, everything was my favourite more than that it was all prepared by my wife. I looked at her with some expectation but as usual she didn't mind me, but somehow I felt she was also noticing me. After dinner we both dropped granny at airport and I went to pick up my car from parking meanwhile she left in a call taxi, I shouted her name but went in vain.

That night we both confronted each other I had to slap her, eventhough she was wrong in her choice of words but I shouldn't hit her.

After her confessions I understood one-thing, she didn't hate me, actually she missed me. I'm the soul reason behind her weight loss and dark circles. This truth gave me a peace after a long time. I was surprised when she extended her hand for friendship. First I was hesitate then I agreed eventually, atleast I can spend time with her.
