Perfect Marriage ✔

Chapter 19

Surprise..
DOUBLE UPDATE...

~~~~Back to the story~~~

Khushi's POV
I texted Arnav that I'll be home a little late and if he could take Scooby out for a walk. To be honest, I'm a little scared and nervous to ask him since Scooby is technically my dog and by marriage, his. Ever since marriage, he didn't seem to care much about it and it was me taking him out for walks and playtime. I guess Scooby's only my responsibility then. My scooter, on the way back home, stopped working. Battery issue, I guess. And I literally had to walk a good kilometer, dragging the scooty along with me and it was drizzling. Great, just great - I thought. I thought I will call Arnav and ask for help but my phone was out of battery. Today is just not my day. I didn't even have an umbrella with me so I foolishly ran home through the rain since I wanted to get home early and sleep.

I just got home from work and my period is not as bad as yesterday. But, still, that bloody mess is there and I'm hating it. All I wanted to do is flop on the sofa and snore away.

Walking inside the house, I took off that pain-in-the-ass flats, that were now covered in mud. Great, I have to wash this also now. Letting out a small sigh, I looked around our clean home. Scooby came running to my side with his feet covered in mud. Dear God, why ??

The scene when I got home was not what I hoped. Not what anyone had hoped for. There were muddy dog footprints all over the house. Before I could even make it to the hallway, I could smell something burning. It was coming from the kitchen.

In instinct panic mode, I sprinted to the kitchen just to Arnav trying to cook dinner but to my notice, it was already burnt. I guess Scooby must have thought that it was playtime and must have distracted Arnav while cooking, which might have led him to burn dinner.

"Arnav?" - I call him since he didn't notice my presence. Upon seeing me, he looked kinda mad and angry.

Oh Scooby, what did you do now?

"Hi" - he replied. I could sense that he was trying to control his anger since he was clenching his jaws and he looked fierce.

I knew I had to take control and save whatever is left of the night. I mentally made a to-do list in my mind.
My priorities right now are dinner and cleaning the messy house.

"Can you please order in?" - I suggested, silently hoping that I didn't piss him off with the suggestion since he tried to cook dinner and Scooby messed it up.

Sighing deeply, he looked at me rather tired and asked - "Any preference?"

"I'm okay with anything." - I replied

Honestly, I'm in no mood for food, but it's not wise to skip dinner, especially during my period.

While Arnav went to the living room to order us dinner, I threw the burnt pan onto the kitchen sink, to soak up the burnt mess. And there next to me, was the sweet innocent culprit who looked like he had nothing to do with the whole mess in the living room. His tail was waggling like he wanted to play more. Like he wants to.

"Bad boy, Scooby" - I watched his tail wagging slow down and finally stop. And his ears droop a little, making me feel slightly guilty about yelling at him. But, that puppy needs to be trained.

"You got the house all messy and burnt dinner tonight. You are grounded for the next two months. No treats for you." - he looked at me with those puppy dog eyes.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Stay strong, Khushi. Don't melt into his eyes.
"Fine, one month."
I locked him up in the guest bathroom whilst I mopped the floor. Arnav said that he will do it but I felt guilty since it was my dog that messed it up. Scooby was barking and scratching the door the whole time.
