Meant for each other

19. Being Upset

I am sitting on the sofa behaving very impatient since the morning. I don't know why but my mind is wondering off to him again and again. I keep looking at my phone for his any message and calls and at the door too waiting for him to come now.

I stand up and start pacing in the living room as I see it's almost 7:30 in the evening now and he is still not here. He was saying he was going to come and pick me up early and here there is no sign of him still. I think as I roam around the room

"He will be here in a minute. Just settle down" mummy said looking at me from the kitchen and I gave her a glance still looking outside trying to see his car coming in

"Who he" I asked distracted as I tried to hear any car stopping outside now.

"The one you are waiting for" mummy said and I turned and walked towards the kitchen clearly annoyed at her teasing

"I am not waiting for Arjun" I said as I reached the kitchen and mummy smirked a bit before replying

"When did I say you were waiting for Arjun. I was thinking that you are waiting for your father" she said with a teasing smile and I just closed my mouth and went to sit in the living room again.

The door bell rang after a minute and I literally jumped out of my place and ran to open the door. I fixed my saree and hair once before opening the door

"Hello" I said opening the door and my mood changed back to sulky one

"Hello beta" papa said smiling and I smiled back at him politely once and went to sit back on my place on the sofa with a pout and picked up my phone

"Why is she making that face" papa asked mummy as he entered the kitchen to greet her like daily

"She is just sulking because it was you and not Arjun" mummy said a little loudly and I poked my tongue in my cheek getting annoyed from her teasing and myself too a bit for waiting so impatiently for him after just two day of marriage

"I am not sulking and I am definitely not waiting for Arjun" I shouted looking at the kitchen and I started playing on my phone tapping the screen harshly and instantly regretted it as I remembered the phone was expensive.

The door bell rang after some time and I stood up to open the door but really slowly this time. I am pretty sure it would be not him thus time too. I opened the door and saw Akshit bhaiya and Gargi bhabhi standing there.

"Come in" I said giving them space to enter but still standing at the door looking outside for Arjun

"Where is Arjun" mummy asked coming out from the kitchen. I turned towards bhaiya and bhabhi in an instant to know still holding the door open.

"I am here, aunty" I heard Arjun's voice and turned around to see him standing right behind me with a smile. He was looking at mummy. I shifted to give him space to enter and he walked inside towards mummy to touch her feet.

"Stay happy" mummy blessed him and he went inside to greet papa too. He came outside after a minute and sat on the sofa. I see Arjun shifting leaving some space for me as our eyes meet but I look away and go and sit next to mummy. He looks at me and the empty space beside him and pouts.

Mummy serves the dinner for all of us after some time and we then take our leave. I was still not talking properly with him and he was also looking pouty during the dinner maybe due to this.

............

I sat on the bed in my night pajamas and pick up my phone to scroll on it. The gate of the closet opens and I look up to see Arjun walking out of there. He smiles as we make eye contact and I just get inside the duvet ignoring him.

"Navika" he called and I felt the bed dip beside me and the duvet move. It feels like he got inside the duvet and I hummed in response

"Are you upset with me about anything" he asked as he moved the duvet off of my face

"No I am not. I just want to sleep" I said trying to pull the duvet back on my face. I don't really want to tell him the childish reason for which I am angry

"You are and I can see it. Get up and sit. We are gonna talk" he said pulling the duvet away from me and pulling me up to sit

"Now tell me what are you upset about" he said once he helped me sit properly and shifted closer to me.

"I am just upset because you didn't text or call me. It's very childish I know" I said fiddling with my fingers looking down at my lap. He chuckled and held my hand in his.

"I am sorry. I didn't call you. I thought you might have wanted some alone time with your parents" he said rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand and I felt a sense of calmness

"And you were saying you will come early to pick me and you came at night" I turned towards him and our legs brushed.

"I wanted to come early only but mummy said to go at the dinner time" he said and I looked at his face and he had a worried expression.

"Its okay" I said nodding my head slowly with a smile. He leaned towards me and kissed my forehead softly and I closed my eyes savoring the moment

"We should sleep now" he said and we both laid down beside each other. We both drifted into sleep but with a more comfortable position.

.............

I wake up as I feel a tickling sensation near my stomach and blink for a second to focus on the surroundings. I open my eyes and my breath catch in my throat as I see Arjun lying very close to me. His hand was lying on my stomach.

He moves his finger on my exposed skin as my shirt got ridden up while I was asleep. I look at his face to confirm if he is sleeping or not before lightly touching his hand and removing it from my stomach. I hold his arm and lift it.

I slide from under his arm and out of the bed in a minute and rush straight to the washroom to calm down my racing heartbeat. I splash water on my face and look in the mirror as blush creeps up on my face at the thought of our proximity.

I look outside and see it's almost 8 in the morning and decide to continue with my work. I take a shower and get out of the washroom. I wear a simple salwar suit for the day but it is a little on the heavier side than my usual preference because mummy asked me to dress up in these for the first few days.

I head in the bedroom after wearing my hair in a ponytail and smile as I see the sleeping Arjun. I walk close to him to wake him up

"Arjun" I call him shaking him up a bit as I am familiar with that he will not wake up without a struggle.

"Arjun" I shake him again and he groans snuggling more in the duvet

"Wake up" I said again shaking him and he moved a little but still didn't open his eyes

"Let me sleep, na" he said as he turned to the other side and I thought of an idea and moved my hands towards his neck. I touched my hands lightly to his neck and he opened his eyes in a second

"What? Why are your hands so cold?" He asked as he sat up on the bed and rubbed my cold hand in his warm ones

"I just took a shower and it's winter season" I said giving him a smile and he stood up nodding his head.

"I will get freshen up" he said as he left my hands and went in the washroom and I walked downstairs.
