CHAPTER TWELVE
A fleeting smile comes over my lips when last night's dreams are still hovering over my mind. I saw my family, my sisters. For a second, I thought. I'm back in my old life. But it's not happening. I can never forget him. I'm doubting I'll be able to smile without him.
I turn on my back and freeze. I shut my eyes tightly. I open my eyes again.
' Why are we sharing a bed? He didn't tell me we are sharing a bed. My toes curl, when my gaze stops on his bare chest. He's truly very handsome. His hair is covering his forehead. Reluctantly, I forward my hand. My mind is chiding me to pull it back. That's not what we've signed the contract for. I don't know how to take the next step.

He stares down. I followed his gaze, "I wasn't hungry." I whisper. He bends forward and glances into my eyes. I'm not feeling alone and longing for crying without reason anymore. Presumably, It's his absence that causes me all this, " Come, I've something for you. You'll like it. " He holds out his hand. I hesitate but put my hand in his. He tugs me off the bench and locks his arm around my waist taking my weight, " What is it? " I ask him as we walk in together.

I wake up with the chime of my phone. I glance around cracking my eyes open. I'm exclusively alone in the room. I stare at the screen and it stops ringing. I await it to ring again. It did. Answering the video call, I keep it straight on the nightstand taking the support from the vase, so I haven't to hold it. I blinked looking at them. Saavi and Sas smile at me from the same frame, Sim on second. They are already dolled up. They are looking pretty like always. " Why are you still in your bed? You'll get late for medicine. " Sim stares at me. I answer her with the blink of my eyes. I'm not in the mood to say anything. He's not in the room, if I'm too late he's not in the house. " You look sad. " Sas s

The place looks crowded when Arya parks his car along the roadside. I softly bite my lips and withdraw it immediately when I imagine his thumb over my chin. I smile. Kadam opens the door for me. I hate it when people do things for me. Feeling a little embarrassed, I follow Arya. To my relief, no one is brushing or hitting me. They are making way for us when they behold Arya. We reach a gargantuan hall, it's loaded with dresses, clothes, embroidery material, sewing machines etc. It doesn't look like a factory. The roof must be twenty feet above, the bricks are painted white. The most astounding thing is the girls who are working here, their clothes look expensive, they are looking beautiful with slim figures, as a model.

The last day was amazing but the nagging feeling is still pushing me on the edge to make a call to Yuvaan. I couldn't negate nagging feelings. I want to call him, send him a text. He has said that he'd not divorce me. I don't know where is he right now? That gives me negative vibes about marriage. He should inform me. He didn't. Arya refused to tell me anything. I asked Saavi, "Is she dating someone? She winced and denied after a couple of breaths. Now I can guarantee, she's dating Arya. I barely watch my steps as I'm rushing in merriment. I stumble. My eyes dilate as I'm going to fall face down on the floor. " Careful, " Yuvaan says, gripping my upper arm. My skin tingles. I tug my arm away. He draw

They roll the windows down, " You both have put on some fat. " Saavi says, rolling the window down. We sat in the back seat of the car. We adjust somehow. Sas and Sim stare at her. I giggle, " She said.. some fat." I say. " Are you still forty-seven? " Sim asks about my weight. I nod my head, " Lucky! I put on four kg this week. " Sas says " How did you do it?" Sim asks. " Walk! " I say. Kala gets in the driver seat, " Hello, Kala how are you? " I ask. Sim tenderly pinches me on my elbow. I shrug my shoulders looking at her. " I'm fine, ma'am.

" Did you sleep well? Of course, you did. I was waiting for you at the dinner table. You must be hungry." Achraj's mother says. She caresses my cheek. " Sorry, I nodded off. " I shake my head. I can't tell that I swallowed a sleeping pill. " We ate at midnight, " Sas smiles looking up at her. " Hm, " Harjeet nods at her, " Take a seat, dear. " She says to me and walks over to the kitchen.
