ADHRIK'S pov

I scattered all the things in my room. I couldn't find my god damn watch. My foot landed on her hair clip. I clenched my jaw ,wincing at the pain. Why is every fucking thing irritating me right now.

I was still searching, while Shanaya entered the room. She gasped at the sight. My eyes landed on her for a moment and continued to search again.

"What happened?", she asked in a low worried voice.

" I couldn't find my watch"

She didn't react for a moment and went to the vanity table and opened a drawer .She came near me with my watch in her hand.

" Where did you find it?" , my voice was sharp with anger.

" It's right there , in the second drawer" her voice became lower than before.

"Have you been touching my things, Shanaya?", I glared at her, my gaze could pierce her skin.

"No, it's - it's just I saw it in the morning when I was getting ready", she stuttered, hurt lingered in her eyes.

" Don't touch my things ever again, do you understand?" , I could barely contain my rage.

" No, I didn-"

"Do you understand me?" I shouted in anger.

Tears left her eyes trailing down her cheeks.

Her tears fell , a sharp ache gripped my chest. I realised I had crossed the line but I can't bring myself to admit it. I was about to storm out of the room but her shout froze me in my place

SHANAYA'S POV

Nobody ever shouted at me like he did just now. Although I love him, I couldn't take the blame . I won't just sit back and watch him shout at me. A storm of anger raged inside me.

"Mr. ADHRIK MALHOTRA", I yelled.

He froze at his spot, he didn't look at me.

His back was facing me. I slammed my hand on his shoulder yanking him towards me in anger.

His eyes widened, too stunned to speak, he didn't blinked.

"I have no right to touch your things-- you made clear on our wedding night itself. And for someone who doesn't want to be committed in a relationship, you sure talk a lot", my anger is not calming down anytime soon. I have shown him enough of my soft girl era. Now I will make sure he understands , why my brother calls me devil of the house.

He sure didn't expected this from me. I can see that in his eyes. He stood there , unable to form a response.

The door flew open and Aarushi stepped in, the sight of messy room made her pause for a moment.

She saw tears in my eyes and immediately stepped closer.

" You okay?" the question left her lips, quiet but full of concern.

"Yeah, it's nothing", I said smiling, wiping my tears.

"Mom wants you to come downstairs, the car is ready to take you home", Aarushi spoke softly.

"Yeah, it feels suffocating here anyway ", I took her hand and barged out of the room.

"Is everything okay? Did he shout on you?" Aarushi asked me.

My anger still doesn't calm down but I don't want to make a scene.

"yeah , everything is fine"...

We came to the hall, mumma looked at me she immediately knew something is wrong.

"Shaanu beta, what's wrong ? Why is your face red?" She asked while touching my cheeks.

" Everything is fine mumma".

"You sure?, Did something happen?" her eyebrows drawn together in concern.

"Yes, nothing happened mumma, don't worry"

She passed a small smile.

"Are you ready? Aarushi will come along with you if you want"

"It's okay mumma, she has to go to university today. I will go on my own", I assured her.

" No, I'm coming with you", Aarushi spoke in the middle.

" It's oka--"

" Uh-huh no more arguments", Aarushi closed my mouth with her hand.

I smiled at her antics.

" Hey little devil" , I heard my brother's voice from the door.

" Bhaiyya?"

"You ready?"he smiled and asked me.

Relief filled my heart while looking at him.

" Yeah, I am ready, let's go"

"Advit beta, come have some breakfast", mumma asked my brother.

" No maa, I have already eaten", he said with a smile.

"Mumma, can I stay two days there?", I asked her.

"You don't have to ask me beta", she is so sweet.

"Let's go, I have to go to company

after dropping you", my brother added.

"I am coming too", excited Aarushi is cute.

"Oh yeah, the house going to be total chaos. We missed it", my brother laughed.

Soon we three left from there.

"MR. ADHRIK MALHOTRA", Shanaya's angry voice reached my ears. I froze at my spot. She never called me by my name. I didn't dare to look back at her. She yanked me around to face her. She was yelling , but her voice never reached my ears. Everything around me blurred, I was stuck on the way she said my name.

I couldn't take it_ her eyes burning with anger , glistening with tears. Every tear that fell down her cheeks clenching my heart even tighter. I made a terrible mistake, I shouldn't have shouted at her. She was just helping me.

I was just looking at her until Aarushi entered. I wanted to apologise but my mouth couldn't form a single word. They left but I still couldn't move.

Fuck.

I went to my office but I was unable to focus on anything. Everything is irritating me right now , we have an important deal in few days but my mind just went blank.

Tears.

Her tears, i couldn't stand them.

Why are they affecting me so much.

I never hated myself this much before.

I stormed at the employees but couldn't control my rage.

Adhvit barged into my office room," why did you shout on Rahul?, He didn't do anything".

Everyone is getting on my fucking nerves today.

" I don't owe you an explanation", I said in a low but dangerous tone.

" I see, you have returned to your asshole personality ", he slammed the door while walking away.

I returned home early as I couldn't work anymore.

I will lash out at the employees which is not good.

My room was empty as I walked in.

This room is mine since past 15 years.

I didn't even like when someone enters my room except my family.

I got used to her presence, her scent, her small giggles, her beautiful face while sleeping.......,her side of bed is empty.

Every time I think of her a strange feeling in my chest appears.

Is it guilt that's consuming me from inside because I shouted at her?

Or is it because I mi--

"Adhrik beta?", I turned around. It was my mother.
