Advik POV

The next day, we are shifting to our home. I informed earlier to my choco pie to arrange everyone to Aadhya in my room.

I can imagine how she would feel when she is going to leave this house. I need to talk with her about house loan... I thought.

I was so tired from the morning in the arrangement of uncle's ceremony. After dinner, I went to her room. she was sitting on the edge of the bed thinking something seriously. She didn't notice my presence in the room.

I wanted to break the cold war between us. so I initiated talk with her.

" What are you thinking, angel?" I asked her.

she looked at me as if I am an alien.

"Still are you angry at me?"

no response....

" want to shout on me?"

no response....

"Did dad informed you about shifting to our home, tomorrow?" I asked her.

She started crying at my last words.

" Why are you crying, angel?" I asked anxiously.

" I won't want to leave this house. I don't have enough money to clear the loan. I have so many memories in this house" she cried even more.

" Trust me, angel. This house will be yours." I took her hand and promised her.

she looked into my eyes emotionally.

" Don't you trust me, angel" I cupped her face and questioned her.

" I am not in a position to trust anyone." she replied.

" Moreover you are my old Advik to trust you." she pouted. I felt with her words and hide my smile.

" So you like old Advik?" I asked her cupping her face.

Hmmm...she nodded.

" yes, he was my good friend but you are an arrogant person" she answered.

" Everything will be going to be fine. If any problem comes , I will stand for you" I assured her.

" Go to sleep,Angel. we have to start tomorrow morning" I said.

" I am not getting sleep due to headache. you sleep now" she said touching her forehead.

"Okay... I will do massage to your head. you will get sleep." I said.

she felt uncomfortable with my words.

"Angel.... we are friends, right ?" I asked her.

Hmmm.. she nodded.

" Then listen to me.." I said softly.

I made her sleep on the bed and gently massage her head. After a few minutes, she slept on the bed. I changed to my nightwear and laid beside her switching the bed light. I noticed dark circles under her eyes and a dull face. I covered her with a blanket and turned to the other side to sleep.

I slept peacefully after nine days. Slowly she started controlling my mind but I scared what if she become my weakness.

Aadhya POV

After having my dinner, I had my bath and thinking about my house. I didn't notice someone's presence in my room till Advik called with my name.

" Angel...." he called me again.

I looked at him skeptically, why he is talking with me now....after nine days of our fight.

He started pleading to shout on him if I am angry at him. But I didn't give any response to his words and turned my face on the other side.

He came closer to me and asked whether I am worried about this house. I could not control my tears.

He promised that he will take care of this house loan and it remains as mine. After experiencing betrayal of Yaswanth. I stopped trusting any person.

But I want to trust him once on hearing the sincerity in his voice.

He asked me to sleep but my head ache become worst that I can't sleep. Then he applied some oil on my forehead and massaged gently. I felt relaxed and slowly drifted to sleep.
...
...

I opened my eyes with a fresh mind. All my head ache vanish. I look beside me and smiled at Advik. Immediately my ole disappeared when I noticed his hand was on my waist. He was cuddling me tightly and sleeping soundly.

I was so embarrassed that how can I allowed him to touch me. Even I didn't feel odd with his initimacy. I touched his hand to remove from me. Instantly he opened his eyes and observing me.

" What happened?" he asked in a sleepy voice.

"That.....I.....am.... trying to remove your hand from me. I need to use washroom." I showed his hand.

"oh....I am sorry" he removed his hand and again resumed to sleep.

I wondered how simply he said sorry and resumed his sleep. Don't he know without girl's consent he should not touch me?...  I thought.

Clearing all my mind, I completed my morning business. I greeted uncle and prepared coffee for him. Later, Advik also joined us at the dining table.

" Good morning, Angel" he greeted me.

"Good morning" I replied dryly.

" Did you packed your belongings?" he questioned me.

"Yes...." I replied.

"Good... we will start to home after breakfast" he said looking at uncle.

why he is not speaking with uncle...I doubted.

........
.....
With heavy heart, I locked the door and stepped out of the house with teary eyes.

"Angel, whenever you want to stay here, I will bring you here. " he wrapped my shoulder firmly and walked towards his car.
....
....
Finally, we reached to Advik's house...I mean...officially my in-law's house. Vedika already waiting for us at the entrance of the main door. She took traditional Aarthi for a newly wedded couple( a fire shown to the couple to get rid of evil eyes). We entered the house according to their family rituals.

I looked at the house. It looks like a palace. Uncle told Advik to take me to his room and ordered some maid to carry my luggage. While I am following to Advik's room.

" So...she is the daughter of that poor fellow." one elderly lady asked Advik.

I was stunned by her behavior.

"Don't you introduced your wife to your mother?" she asked him.

Advik looked furiously at her and " you are not my mom. never repeat these words. or else I don't know what I will do..." she yelled at her making me jump in fear.

He gripped my hand tightly and dragged me to his room.
