"Sha!" he whispered entering the cabin, but she didn't look up.
"Yes?" she asked in a normal voice.
"Sha! How are you? I have been going..." he couldn't finish when she lifted her head to stare at him.
"I am here working, Mr. Kolgha. I don't want you blaming me if something wrong goes with that also." She commented making him flinch and she flinched inside.
She decided not to be bitter then why is she doing this? She thought taking a deep breath while he composed himself.
"I don't want to work here, but like you reminded me in the phone call, this is my duty according to the contract and that is for next one year. Let's just ignore everything and concentrate on our work." She suggested and even passed a smile.
"Sha!" he whispered, walking near to her table, but she shook her head.
"It's all in the past and call me Anusha or Ms. Bindla." She suggested but he shook his head.
"We need to talk, Sha... Anusha." He said to which she sighed rubbing her forehead.
"Satvik! I actually don't blame you for what you did. I mean for the way I ruined your life, what you did was so simple." She said looking at him.
"What are you saying, Anusha?" he asked, frowning with a confused look.
"I was behind you to have our dating life more public when you were not comfortable. Hell! I forced you to marry me, didn't I? No wonder you threw me out of your home." She replied, trying to control the tears.
"Don't! Don't say such lies. It was never like that. I was..." he couldn't finish when she suddenly stood up.
"If I shouldn't say such things then don't give me a reason to. Don't bring our past anymore near me otherwise, I will dissect it as I wish. Now, if you can excuse me, I need to work and finish even the work for the time I was on leave too." She said gesturing the door to him.
But he just stood there looking at her in shock while she stared at the door and when he finally started walking off, she calmly added, "I am not asking you to leave as a tit for tat for the way you showed me. Whatever I do or say would be a normal thing and nowhere near aimed to do anything with you. So, please take those thoughts out of your mind."
When the door closed, she fell back down on the chair, feeling the energy drained out in just five minutes. And she knows so well he thought she was taking some petty revenge when she showed the door.
What can she say that she too learned to understand what people are thinking or at least what he is thinking after living with him for all those months. This is going to be a long journey.

*Anusha Pov*"Let me sleep, Bhai." I screamed, covering my face with the pillow, but he continued to knock on the door."Why are you torturing me?" I asked, opening the door to which he smiled and pushed me back before entering the room."I am not going to sit alone with them to bear their company. You can't escape it just because today is a holiday." He replied, shrugging, and started checking my music collection."Then you go and sleep." I mumbled, sitting on the bed."Nope! Then he will start giving me a class on how a businessman should spend the leisure days." He pointed out making me grin.
*Anusha Pov*"Bhai! Help me here." I asked, frowning at him trying to not let the files fall down, but he is engrossed in his phone call."Wait! I am trying to get my Ex to leave me." He replied with an irritated tone while I glared at him.We both were already late for this meeting and Dad will kill both of us if we don't enter inside this minute. But this brother of mine is not even opening the door and to top of that talking to his Ex."Here!" I heard a voice and saw someone holding the door.I glanced at the person whispering, "Thanks!" while he completely opened the door to which he gave a smile and I sm
*Anusha Pov*"I don't want to eat that for sure." I said, staring at the brownie my friend got for herself."Then go and get what you want." She said enjoying her favorite making me sigh."I am lazy. Can't you understand that? You should have brought something for me too." Mumbling, I stood up and started walking towards the counter.Taking the ice cream I turned around to walk towards my table, but something, or shall I say someone caught my eyes. I stood at my place for a few seconds thinking what to do.But finally walked towards him when he is just nodding at his friend and I greeted him saying, "Hey!"
*Satvik Pov*"Check your mobile later, Satvik. First, have your food." Mom scolded and I frowned at her."Mom! I am not a small kid." I mumbled and placed my phone aside still with no message from her and tomorrow is the movie day."If you are suddenly acting like one, Mom will be like that only, right?" Bhabhi asked making me glance at her and everyone to stare at me."I don't know what you are talking, Bhabhi." I replied and continued to have my food ignoring the staring from everyone."From the past two days, you are suddenly interested in your mobile and not talking to anyone properly and not even having
*Anusha Pov*"What?" I asked Bhai, when he continued to stare at me."Are you hiding something?" he asked making me frown but then I paled thinking he may have got to know about Satvik."Why?" I mumbled, not knowing what to tell him."It's been so long since we went somewhere and you didn't even ask me to take you anywhere." He replied and I sighed in relief."Nothing to hide, Bhai. We are just busy I guess and you even got a new girlfriend now, right?" I asked him smiling."Any girlfriend will not be more important than you. So, if there is any problem just
*Satvik Pov*"I am not hungry." I mumbled, looking at my watch, and didn't even glance at anyone but I know everyone is looking at me."Aren't you going to come to work?" Dad asked and at that moment I glanced up from the dining entrance to stare at him.I didn't want this confrontation and was leaving calmly but Mom called me from the doorway and I had to stop."It will not matter whether I will be there or not, right? I am working there only because I am your son." I stated making him shake his head."Forget all that, Satvik. Just come to work and forget about that girl also." Bhai said frowning at me.
*Anusha Pov*"What are you thinking?" he whispered, but I just stared at the ceiling."Sha?" he called and I finally turned to stare at him."What have we done?" I asked, feeling the effect of what we did finally lodge in the head."You are regretting our marriage?" he asked, frowning and moved to look away, but I held his face making him stare at me."The way we did it. Maybe we should have waited." I replied, to which he shook his head."Your Dad..." he started, but I stopped him, placing a finger on his lips.
*Anusha Pov*I am definitely going to fail! I thought, staring at these two women who are behaving like I took some tonic and became invisible.I cleared my throat entering the kitchen and finally mumbled, “Uhm… Aunty!”“What is it?” Bhabhi asked and I turned to stare at her with a smile even though she has a very impatient expression.“Can I help?” I asked and aunty immediately replied with a ‘No!’Well, that went too well and now what else can I do. But then I can’t live with the people who don’t like me with peace, right.Well, if a client says the same thing what would you do, Anu? I asked myself and nodded to myself thinking of this solution.“I want to help and learn the things.” I said not backing down and finally, I was given a set of carrots to peel before they turned back to their works.Aunty continued to cle
