When Parallels Meet (Previously known as 'My Forced Marriage')

Part 15: On the couch

Ananya's POV

"Ananya!"

"Ananya!"

"Ananya,wake up!!",the soft taps on my cheeks were not letting me continue my sleep so my eyes slowly opened.

"Hmm?",my hands slowly rubbed my eyes, "What time is it?",my voice was generally very small after waking up from sleep.

"I don't know when you went to sleep but judging by the temperature of your coffee,which is cold by the way,I think it's been like half an hour?",Rohit said.

"When did you come?",I asked once I had a clearer vision.

"I uhm.. entered 5 minutes ago. I was debating with myself whether to let you sleep or wake you up. But I figured you wouldn't like it if you were asleep during office hours,so,yeah.",he said.

"Thanks. But can I have another coffee? Like you know,I need to refresh myself.",I said.

"Of course,why not?",he said.

"And order one for you too.",I said.

"Yeah.",he said.

I excused myself to go to washroom also to wash my face. (Yeah dude,I wear waterproof makeup)

I opened my phone again to see if there were any messages.

I only had a private message from Shanaya.

Shanaya-
What's up?
Why did you not reply me?
Do you hate me?
You don't love me?
But I don't know what I did.
Talk to me.
Please.
I didn't do anything,I promise.

Ananya-
Stupid,I am at my office. Do you expect me to be online all the time?

Shanaya-
What? You are at your office?
We just arrived in the morning.
I thought you would be sleeping that's why I didn't message you.
Someone please come and take out the workaholic ghost that has entered my bestie.
Ananya,please rest.
This is not good for your health.

Ananya-
Can you stop sending so much messages at a single time?

Shanaya-
No,I am going to tell Aunty and Uncle about you.
Kritika won't work anymore.
Just you wait.
Wait till you are grounded at home with a 10 days holiday.

Ananya-
No,no,no.
Shaan,don't.
Don't tell them anything.
Why are you even going to them?
What do you want me to do?

Shanaya-
Who's sending a ton of messages now?
If you don't want me to tell them,then you have to strictly follow my orders.

Ananya-
What orders now?

Shanaya-
1. You will go home early today and sleep.
2. You will not go to office tomorrow.
3. You will call me everyday.
4. You will send me a selfie every hour at your house so that I know you are at home.
I have more,but I am feeling to lazy to type.

Ananya-
Why do I have to call you everyday?

Shanaya-
Fine then,I will tell your parents.

Ananya-
Okay,fine.
But I won't send you that selfie cuz that's boring af.
And I am going to go home in 5-10 minutes.
And I will not 'not go' to office tomorrow. No matter what you do.

Shanaya-
Nice. When you get home,make sure to rest as much as possible.
And give your jerk of a husband at least 5 punches.
