AASHIKA'S P.O.V

I was sitting at dinning room table putting my head down what I can do I'm hungry but there is nothing to eat.
And my recent accidental husband is no where to be seen God I miss my mom now. My mom always makes some extra food because I get hungry most of the time at midnight.

I wait here for another half an hour. Why it have to be night right now I'm scared I want to sneak into his blanket. I always sleep with mom in out hometown. This village area scares me a lot.

I knock on the door. Maybe it's his room. Within few minutes my accidental husband whose name is Ayaan. Mom told me his name, opened the door.

"What happened Aashika why are you here? You should sleep, it's late". He said and for some reason he didn't look sleepy. And the way he talks feels like he is talking to a child.

"Don't make me feel like a child and I'm hungry and I'm not able to find anything". I whisper the last sentence because it's embarrassing.

"Did't you eat anything in the marriage ceremony ". He mumbled to himself.

"It was more like a funeral. " I whisper.

"Our marriage seems like funeral to you".  He asked and turned to me folding his hand on his chest

"Of course not I just........I don't know what to say. I'm hungry." I mumbled and looked down unable to keep eye contact.

"You know how to cook". He ask me leading me to kitchen.

"Yes I can cook maggie pasta and..... Bread omelette and tea of course". I said and looking at him and found him look at me.

"Ok then go ahead with Maggie for now". He said handling me the packet. I hold the packet then look at him awkwardly.

"Thank you ....... Don't you have any problem with this marriage you seems really ok like it's normal for you that you wife runaway and you have to marry her sister." I asked while turning on the flame.

"What kind of answer you want. I talked to your mom and dad before marriage. I wasn't in love with Radha. " He answered leaning back comfortably.

I nodded hearing his answer and settled down on the table for maggie.

"So are you a student." He ask me. I rise my head just to find him looking at me with a soft look in his eyes.

"Ooh yes I'm." I answer him again giving
my full concentration to my precious maggie.

"What is your major. "

"Again a question". I thought in my mind

"I've just started my college business administration". After telling him I lift some noodles with my fork.

"So you have Commerce background".
Again question.

"Can't you let me eat my food in peace why are you asking me about my study you are my husband not my mom dad or teacher so stop doing this. " I shouted. He  still silently looked at me.

"You have a dumb wife now what you are going to do Dr Ayaan Agnihotri?" I asked, placing my plate of food on the table.

"You're still a child, Aashi." He said shaking his head. "You don't have a boyfriend, right?" he inquired.

"I don't have one; I only focus on my studies. How is it even possible?" I replied sadly, reminiscing about my lack of a boyfriend before my unexpected marriage and it's not like I actually focus on studies. I'm such a stupid student.

"Are you upset about that? Don't pout. You have a husband now. " he said, in his usual demeanor.

"You can't speak to me in this manner," I exclaimed, slamming my hand on the table, causing my plate to flip and my maggie to spill onto my hand.

"Look at what you've done," I scolded him, visibly upset.

"Such a kiddo. The food wasn't hot right?you didn't burn your hand,"

"Why do you even care?" I questioned, as he approached me, taking my hand and placing it under the running tap water.

"Do you even know my name?" he asked.

"I do not understand why you think I know your name," I replied, pulling my hand back. I know his name but I don't want him to know that I know his name.

AYAAN'S P.O.V

"My name is Ayaan Agnihotri, okay. Here, have this apple for now. If you want to sleep alone, that's completely up to you. But you can sleep on my bed with me, I promise I won't do anything," I assured this little girl. She is adorable for sure. Her mother explained me about her a lot. She has just turned eighteen three months ago. I don't know how I end up marrying her. But since I'm married then I'm going to treat her like my wife.

"What do you mean? I don't like apples, I don't want it. I'll sleep in your room since you're insisting, but don't think I'm scared of ghosts, darkness, or anything else because I'm not, okay?" she retorted.

I chuckle at her response. She is cute.

"I didn't even say that. Take this apple, you were hungry. Let's go to our room, I know you're scared to sleep alone," I suggested.

"No, I'm not. I already told you that," she insisted with a red face showing her embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, I'm scared to sleep alone. Let's go, I'm sleepy. Do you know with whom Radha ran away?" I asked.

"I don't know her that well," she replied.

On reaching the room she quickly lay down and bed. "Let's sleep, I'm sleepy," she said, covering herself with a blanket. I lay down beside her, pulling her closer and placing my hand on her belly.

I don't know why I did it but I just did this stupid act. We just married today. How can she be comfortable with me.

"Remove your hand, you hulk-like guy. I'll die if you don't," she protested.

"I don't think you will Aashi. "

"You're telling me to sleep or die, remove your hand. It's Aashika, not Aashi," she corrected, trying to move my hand away.

"You better sleep, because if I sleep before you and some dark moving creature makes their presence then you will be scared. I'm not a light sleeper Aashi." I warned.

"Aashika, not Aashi," she whispered, closing her eyes and trying to sleep. Within minutes, she fell asleep in my arms.

I smiled at her, kissing her forehead. " If God has chosen you for me then I'm going to cherish my wife. "
