Dharani POV

**************

"I am impressed I thought you will try to get out of this room" he said to me. I am just looking down and crying.

"Now go and prepare food for me" he said and jerked me. I nodded and started walking but my feet are paining like hell. I somehow managed to walk to the kitchen and started making dinner. Later I prepared the dinner and arranged the table. I was about to call him but he came down and had his dinner silently. I just stood beside him though my feet are paining. He had his dinner and went to his room not even glancing at me. I cleaned the dining table and the cleaned the vessels. I don't have an appetite to have food so I didn't prepared for myself. He told me to use the common bathroom so I went to the bathroom and cleaned my feet and looked for any glass pieces luckily there are none. I went to kitchen and then took some turmeric powder and applied it on by injured feet it pains a lot but it will give relief quickly. I slept there on the floor of kitchen thinking what will happen tomorrow.

Akash POV

***********

Whenever I looked at her big doe eyes it makes me feel something. Her doe eyes held innocent but I know she is not innocent, she is gold digger otherwise who will marry without seeing each other I sighed and sleep consumed me.

Next day as usual she cooked breakfast for me and I had it.

"You remember the rules right" I asked her and she nodded her head. This girl really test my patience.

"Words" I shouted at her.

"Yes" she said to me and I nodded and left from there.

I went to my cabin only to be welcomed by my beloved father note the sarcasm. It is all because of him I married that ugly girl. Really ugly? you didn't even saw her face clearly and you already like her big doe eyes my subconscious taunted me.

"Good morning Akash" dad greeted me and I did the same.

"So how is Dharani" he asked me.

"Who is Dharani dad" I asked him and he looked at me shocked. Why is he looking at me like that.

"Don't you know who Dharani is" he asked me. Is she that important person.

"No dad now tell me who is she" I asked him being irritated.

"Dharani is your wife Akash" he told me and I realized how big mistake I have done. I don't even know her name.

"Don't tell me that you don't know your wife name" he asked me raising an eyebrow.

"No actually I don't call her with her name I call her with nicknames so you know what I mean right" I got up with an excuse and he seemed to be ok with it and didn't asked me further questions.

Later, I finished my work and went to home only to see lying on the floor. I quickly went to her and patted her cheeks to wake her up but she is not waking up. I took her to the couch and called the doctor. Later doctor has arrived and checked her.

"What happened to her feet Akash" the doctor is my childhood friend so she calls me with my name.

"I don't know sanjana" I told her but I exactly know what happened to her.

"Okay let me check" she said and checked her feet and I saw bruises on her feet and she treated them.

"She is having fever and I gave her an injection and she will be fine" she said to me and I just nodded.

"Take care of her and apply the pain relief cream to her feet" she told me and I thanked her. Later she left and I went to my room without even glancing her. Why should I, she is not my wife and she is just a maid and why should I care about her I thought myself.

But i'm feeling very guilty so I went 2 or 3 times to check her and saw her sleeping peacefully on couch and I applied the pain relief cream in her feet then I came to my room and slept.

Next day I got ready and went down to see her coming outside the kitchen with breakfast. She didn't noticed me and continued her work. I too didn't cared about her and later had my breakfast and left from there.

Dharani POV

*************

I woke up and felt something soft under me. I opened my eyes and saw I am lying on a couch.

Oh god

What have I done and how I slept here. I got up with a jerk and looked for him. If he sees me like this then he will punish me. I got down and felt something under my feet and saw bandage to it. It means my husband treated my wounds and placed me on the couch. I am feeling so happy that he is caring for me. After my parents death I never got love and care from my family and I always craved for love but never got it. I did my morning chores and went to kitchen to make breakfast and I prepared the breakfast and served to him. I thought he will ask me about my wounds but he didn't said anything and left for office. Maybe he is not into expressing emotions. I chucked at my thoughts and did the house chores and had my breakfast as he instructed.

Like this one week passed and he didn't talked to me once. I too didn't tried to talk to him because I am afraid of him what if he hits me or shouts me.

I was in his room cleaning and I heard someone calling my name.

"Dharani" I heard a voice and turned to see who is he. I saw Akash coming inside the room fuming.

He came to me and THAP....he slapped me with such an intense that I fell on ground. He bend down to my level.

"Why did you touched my things" he shouted at me and again slapped me.

"What are you talking about" I asked him.

"Why did you misplaced my files I told you not to touch my things then why the hell you did it" he yelled at me.

"I didn't do anything" I told him in a low voice.

"Don't you dare to tell lies. I already told you not to break the rules and you will get the punishment I think it's time for it" he said to me and took his belt. I gulped thinking what will happen next.

"Please listen to me I didn't misplaced your files I just put them in an order.

"Please" my words were cut off as he slapped me.

"Ahhh" I cried in pain. He slapped me again. Then he left me, after warning don't touch my things.
