Next Morning

Teresa's P.O.V

I drew a line between the room.

"What are you doing?" asks my monkey husband.

I continue to draw without answering him.

"What the hell are you doing?" He grabs my arms.

I throw his hands away and glare at him.

"Okay fine but can you tell me what are you doing?" He raises his hands surrendering.

I took a paper and wrote "I'm dividing the room, this side is mine and that's yours."

"Are you crazy? and why are you writing on a paper? Cat got your tongue?"

"Time freeze" I said.

"Yes you married a crazy woman, deal with it." I pointed at him.

"And if you want me to stay here for another 8 months, deal with this. You don't come in my side, I won't go in yours."

"hey, wait." He hold my wrist.

"Don't you dare!" I shrugged him off.

"You're still mad about yesterday? I know I shouldn't have, but I just lost my temper."

"That's your problem not mine." I wrote and threw the paper on his face.

"Come on, I thought we're friends." He shrugs his shoulders.

"Wow really? You know what i thought the same but yesterday night you made it quite clear that we're just contract husband and wife, nothing more and nothing less so i think it's time we take this contract very seriously, since it seems like this single paper binds us together. Don't ever touch me again, do not interfere in my life, i won't interfere in yours and if you can then please try not to show your face either." I burst at him.

Ryouma: "Let's talk it out 'kay?"

"No, what's there to talk about, I was just having a dream which was so realistic that I actually thought you have a heart and I own a little space in that but no thank you for bringing me back in my worst real nightmare where i'm married to an insensitive, arrogant, rude, heartless jerk. And I'm already sick and tired of this multiple/ bipolar disorder of yours and now I want my life to be a little peaceful so if we divide our territories and avoid each other may be we can tolerate each other till this contract ends and after this you go your way and I go mine." I took a heavy breath.

Before he could say anything I cut him off.

"Memorize the terms of this contract, it will help both of us." I threw the paper at him which he reflexively caught.

"And also to avoid our meeting, you can inform me when will you come to the room so I can can avoid you and don't have to see your face." Saying this I stormed out of the room.

Third person's P.O.V

Ryouma sat on the bed with his hands on his head.

"And what's with this line?" He tried to erase it with his feet.

And finally he thought it was going good with his wife but they're back to square one.

"Argh!" He shouted frustrated.

Ryouma's office

He couldn't concentrate in any of his work and that frustrated him like anything.

He called his best friend for help, he expertise on women of course.

"How did you remember me today? Usually you don't get free time from thinking about your wife." Rihito entered his cabin.

"I need your help..." Ryouma turned to him. "About my wife." completed his sentence.

"And here I thought you missed me, but it's again about your wife huh? Ah! I'm jealous." Rihito pouted.

"Shut up and help me out."

"Why? What's wrong with my sister?" Rihito raised his brows.

Ryouma narrated everything from yesterday night to today's morning's incident.

"Haahahhaha!" Rihito laughed.

"Stop laughing!"

"You dig your own grave, you insulted her guests, shouted at her when she didn't even know what wrong she did, created a scene, that too you spoiled her birthday evening, of course she'll be mad, on the other hand i'm thinking how did she let you go with just two glasses of wine? She didn't throw the glass on your head, did she?" Rihito asked his best friend with his finger on his chin.

"Shut up and stop making fun of me actually I'm thankful I got away with that and she didn't throw anything at me like she did in Hawaii. She's scary when she's mad, even scarier than my mom." Ryouma confessed.

"Wow, Can I capture this moment? It's just so hilarious!" Rihito took out his phone and clicked some photos.

"Cut the crap and give me some ideas!"

"Okay fine, this Rihito baba will help you but first say please" Rihito teased him.

"Please." Ryouma looked so pitiful.

"Oh my god, you actually said that? I was just trying my luck and wow lucky day. Remind me to thank Teresa for this. I just love her. Haha." Rihito laughed.

"I'm warning you Rihito, you'll die by my hands." Ryouma clenched his hands into a fist.

"I won't, cause you need me hahah." He laughed again.

Ryouma put his hands on his head.

This woman is sure making him do the craziest thing, but well everything has a first time.

Home

His wife was sitting on the bed watching TV.

"I can do this!" He said to himself and went to her.

"Umm, Teresa!" He called out to her.

She shut her ears and ignored him.

"I can't do this." He turned back.

"Be a man Ryouma! It's a simple apology." Rihito encouraged him from the Bluetooth.

"She won't even look at me." Ryouma complained.

"Then make her look at you." Rihito encouraged him.

Ryouma went and stood in front of TV.

Teresa glared at him and he moved away.

Ryouma: "I cant."

Rihito face palmed himself.

"Then sorry bro, you're on your own." Rihito cut the call.

"Oii you cant. Hello? Rihito??"

"Damn him."

"Okay I'll do it my self."

He walked to Teresa and stood in front of her and blocked her view.

Teresa glared at him.

"We need to talk." He looked at her in the eye.

"Go to hell" Teresa wrote it on a paper and tossed at him.

"I'm trying to make up with you and you're giving me attitude." He put his hands on his waist.

"As if you're doing a great thing? I didn't say i want to make up with you i'm fine like this, it's more peaceful this way!" She wrote it and tossed another paper at him.

"Oh so you're going to be like this?" He gave her a look.

She nodded.

"You'll not talk?"

She nodded again.

"Not even a word."

She shakes her head no.

"Fine with me then, even i don't have to hear your chatter, my ears will be at peace."

"Good for you 👍 now move." she wrote and moved him out of her view.

"Argh!" He stormed out of the room.

It's been 3 days since they fought and Ryouma still hasn't heard a word from her. She's been avoiding him well these past 3 days, let alone her voice he didn't even get to see her face. She wakes up before he does, has her breakfast before him, and when he returns from office she's already fast asleep. Stubborn girl, really sticks to her word!

"I've decided, today i am ending this, it's only 7 pm I'll see how she avoids me today? She's stubborn then i'm also her husband." He enters the room but she's already in the bed with blanket on her.

"I know you're not asleep. Get up. Get up you damn woman!" He pulls the blanket but she pulls it back.

"Leave it and get up." He further pulls the blanket.

She shakes her head violently still covering her face.

"Teresa get up. We can't have this going on. Get up!!" She falls off the bed.

"Oops!" Ryouma bites his tongue. Now she'll kill him for sure.

She glares at him. He just smiles sheepishly. "It's your fault you should have just left the blanket and got up."

She gets up and tries to go out of the room. He pulls her back. She glares at the hand touching her and he immediately leaves her.

"Let's talk?"

She walks out of the room but he carries her back in. She struggles.

"You'll fall then don't blame me." He warned her.

She stops struggling.

"Good." He smiles and keeps her on the bed.

She tries to run but he catches her and makes her sit on his lap.

She glares at him but he doesn't buzz.

She crosses her arms and pouts.

He gives her box of chocolates.

"Here, now let's forget everything 'kay?"

She accepts the chocolates and turns her head to other side.

"Okay the this?" He gives her a bouquet of roses.

She accepts them but again turns her head to the other side.

"This?" He gifts her a cute teddy bear which has sorry written on it.

She accepts it, turns her head to other side and smiles but then again suppresses her smile.

"Come on, now i'm out of gifts." He keeps his head on her shoulder.

She pats his shoulder and shows the sorry sign.

"What?" He looks at her confused.

She keeps her hand on her head.

"You want me to hold my ears? Here." He holds his ears.

"You can do all this, can hold your ears but can't say a single sorry?" She finally talks.

"You finally talked." He smiles at her.

"Cause you're stupid. Now try saying sorry come on." She points her finger at him.

"I--"

"It's not that difficult. S-O-R-R-Y come on now say it, i'm waiting." She said holding the teddy bear.

"It was my mistake, i shouldn't have shouted on you." He shook his head.

"And come on those 3 words." She clasped her hands together.

He scratches his head.

"Ah! Forget it! It's not cup of your tea, i was stupid to ask you of that." She shakes her head.

"Fine, you're forgiven for now. Do like this again and I'll make your life a living hell!" She pinched his nose.

"Ow" he touches his nose.

"You deserve that!" She pushes his nose with her finger.

"You have to do one more thing. Go and apologize to Sara and Sam." She got up from his lap and looked at him in the eye.

The moment she said that made her regret the words but she didn't.

"Apologizing to you is one thing i'll do it hundreds of time but not to them. Never! You don't even know anything!" He got up.

"I know Sara told me everything."
