It had been almost a month since Aryan and Aradhya's marriage but Aryan hadn't forgiven her yet. He still loved her but couldn't forget what she did with him and his family. Aradhya was trying to make things normal between them. She repented what she did. Now when she thought about it, she realised how wrong she had been. Aaji was mad to suggest that Aryan tried to rape her and she was even more crazy to believe her. Aryan respected her and couldn't have done anything like this. She was now trying to win back his trust and love but somehow Purva and his Aai always got in the way.
It was six in the morning when Aryan got up. He pulled aside his blanket and saw Aradhya still sleeping soundly on the bed. He tiptoed his way into the bathroom and mentally applauded himself. Now he could use the bathroom before her. He would make her wait like she made him wait. Yesterday she made him wait for two hours before he could use the bathroom. Today was the day for revenge. He locked the door from inside and brushed his teeth. He could hear Aradhya knocking the door.
"Aryan open the door." she shouted.
"Arrey wait Aradhya. I need to take a bath. It will take some time." Aryan replied, smiling inwardly.
"Aryan please. I need to go now. Please."
"Sorry Aradhya but I got up before you so the bathroom is mine." Aryan said. "There are other bathrooms in the house. Use any one of them."
"You are doing this to take revenge from me na? Aryan Vidyadar Rao come out or..." There was a pause and Aryan moved closer to the door to hear her.
"Aaahh..." She suddenly shouted. Aryan grew tensed. "Aryan please let me in. Ouch... I have that girl wala problem. It's paining a lot."
Aryan quickly opened the door to find Aradhya holding her stomach and crying in pain. He walked towards her and held her shoulders.
"I'm so sorry Aradhya. Use the bathroom. Do you want me to get you anything?" Aryan asked, worried.
Aradhya looked at him for a minute and suddenly pushed him and ran and locked herself in the bathroom. "I won. Now wait till I'm done." Aradhya laughed.
Aryan cursed himself for falling into her trap.She always takes my advantage because she knows I can't see her in pain. She is my weakness. But today I will not let her win. The war is on baby!
Aradhya stepped out of the bathroom wearing a saree and drying her hair with a towel. She was a little scared as she knew Aryan wouldn't leave her after this incident. She took a long breath and saw him sitting on the couch with that little evil smile of his. I'm screwed.
Aryan gave her a sweet smile and walked towards her. He took the towel from her hand and threw it on the couch. He took her waist and pulled her very close to him. Aradhya was surprised.
"My wife is looking so beautiful." He smiled and blew at her face sending a chill down her spine. "Remember how you said you wanted kids? I says let's make some babies now."
Aradhya was shocked. Was this a joke or was he serious? Or had he gone mad? All thoughts disappeared from her mind when he pulled the dori of her blouse. He kissed her forehead and then her cheeks. Aradhya tugged at his shirt. He moved closer to her lips. Aradhya closed her eyes. She could feel butterflies in her stomach. She had waited for this moment for a very long time now. He was almost close to touching her lips when he suddenly pulled back.
"Sorry but I'm not in the mood." Aryan smirked.
Aradhya opened her eyes. Anger flashed in her eyes. So this was his idea of revenge. I cannot let him get away with this.
He turned back but suddenly found himself facing Aradhya. She pushed him against the wall. He was shocked and didn't register her coming close to him. Suddenly he felt her lips on his. He was taken aback but the softness of her lips made him forget everything and he felt himself totally engrossed in the kiss. He pulled her close by her waist and pushed her against the wall. Aradhya responded by putting her arms around his neck. They continues to explore the warmth and sweetness of their lips till Aradhya pulled back. She carefully moved away from Aryan's embrace.
His surprise soon turned into shock realising what he had done and more importantly, the fact that she initiated it.
"I win Aryan." Aradhya smirked. "And don't try to mess with your wife again." She walked away.
Aryan touched his lips and smiled. Revenge couldn't have been more sweeter. He didn't mind losing this one because he had bigger plans now!
