Aarya SS - You're impossible! Part 21 pg 142 - Page 63

"Well...you see...since we are married, don't you think these things are part of it?"

"Part of it?"

"No, I mean...You see we are both young and healthy. As in you are a girl so...as in...it is natural for us to feel this kind of things. We sleep on the same bed every night...so we are bound to want to do more...hmm than just sleep right?" Did he really just have to explain this?

"You do not even like me! And what about Aprita?"

"Aprita is happily married. Do I need to keep repeating this? And says who I do not like you..." Will this deja vu never end?

"It is so obvious you do not like me! And you can still think of these things when you..."

"Of course I think about these things. I am a man! And what about having children? We are going to have children someday and you know how people have babies right?"

"You are unbelievable! Talking about having children with me when you forgot about my existent the moment Aprita appears! You are not even answering my questions and purposely trying to confuse me. You are giving me a headache." Aarti stomped away.

Yash shook his head in disbelief. She was the one who was unbelievable! His head was pounding all because of her! How did the tables turn? He hoped a shower would help ease his mood.

"You can totally write a book on how to ruin a special moment," he muttered under his breath as he walked past Aarti who was standing in front of the dressing table removing her accessories.

As the water droplets ran onto his skin and released his tension, his mind wandered to the night's event. How did a night that started out so well turned into such a disaster? No matter how he went over the night, he still came to the conclusion that it was all Aarti's fault. She was "normal" one minute and began acting all "crazy" another. Like why could she not just enjoy the kiss which was definitely very enjoyable instead of starting her Aprita nonsense? He really should not have told her about Aprita. The way she clung on to that piece of information and kept going in circles was exhausting. He just wanted to start this relationship with honesty and thought his wife would appreciate it which she evidently did not. Actually since getting married, he realised thoughts of Aprita barely crossed his mind and Aarti seemed more obsessed about her than him. But does love fade away just like that? It did not seem possible since it took him so long to discover his feelings. Maybe he was just too drained. The past two months have been one hell of a roller coaster ride and he could not imagine taking this ride for a lifetime. Something must be done about this!

"Aarti, I don't know why we keep arguing about the simplest things. What is really the problem?" He asked gently as soon as she sat on her side of the bed after she got ready to sleep.

She turned to face him and shrugged. You are the cause of all my problems!

"Come on Aarti. We need to talk about this. I just do not understand why you need to bring up Aprita every time."

"Because you always prefer Aprita. You rather she was your tennis partner and you get so angry at me for losing the tennis game. You just jump at the opportunity to dance with her. And you cannot stop lavishing her with your praises. And you even..."

"Now how the hell do you get this idea that I want her as my tennis partner? That is just your overly active imagination Aarti. We keep coming back to this topic honestly and it is getting stale. She is my friend so of course I will..."

"My imagination? Was it my imagination that you keep telling Aman how good his partner is? Was it my imagination that your wife was sitting by herself when you danced with your best friend? Was it my imagination that you never fail to tell your best friend how gorgeous she looks but never ever complimented your wife? Was it my imagination that..."

"You are misunderstanding me. I just said that so Aman can come down to earth. He has this mindset that he is the best thing on planet earth. You can see how obnoxious he is right? Aarti, I swear I am not mad at you about the tennis game. I do not know how you conclude that I was angry even honestly. You are always assuming things. I know I cared a lot about winning Aarti but after I realised how stress out you were and saw your perseverance, I figure I appreciate your effort more. Of course it would have been great if we won but we did not and it is ok."

"Really? You mean it?" Aarti asked in a little voice, full of uncertainty. Yash looked genuine about what he was saying. Did he really mean it? Why didn't he say anything that time?

"And if you mind me dancing with Aprita, why could you just not say it? I am not a mind reader. You were the one who refuse to dance with me and agreed to let me dance with her. Then you went ahead to dance with a complete stranger. Why would you rather dance with someone else and rejected my offer to dance? And now you start accusing me of ignoring you."

"Aarti, I really do not know what is wrong with us. One minute we are alright and another we are at each other's throat. This is tiring don't you think? I really do care about you. I do not know why are you so adamant on thinking I do not like you," Yash's voice was filled with resignation.

Silence lingered between them as Aarti tried to take in Yash's words, her eyes filled with ambiguity. What about his love for Aprita? Is it cause he was over Aprita that was why he kissed her? But he was still very much into Aprita whenever they met...

He saw the confusion in her eyes and closed in on the distance between them. He cupped her face in his palms and caressed her cheeks. They were both lost in each other's eyes. Yash leaned in and brought his mouth to hers...

"You are saying all this cause of...you want to...You are so pathetic! I do not believe you!" Aarti pushed a stunned Yash away.

Aarti moved to the edge of her side of her bed and laid down to sleep. She frankly did not know what to think anymore. Yash was acting so strange today! She forced her eyes shut and told herself to reflect about this tomorrow when she could think clearly. But their kissing scene was playing in her mind over and over again which evoked a sense of yearning that she could not comprehend!

"You should really consider writing that book I mentioned earlier," Yash told Aarti in a tone filled with annoyance as he switched off the lamp beside him and turn in to sleep. It was futile talking to her when she was set in her own thinking. And why did she have to taste so sweet that he was tempted to pounce on her? Why was he so attracted to her that he was not able to control himself? Was it purely lust?

She knew it! He just confirmed her suspicion that he was only pretending just now. He was always pissed off with her yet dared to claim it was all her imagination! And like a fool she had almost believed him and was hopeful that maybe he had probably started liking her! She sat up and turned on the lamp beside her.

"How would I know how to write about ruining special moments when I have never experience any special moments? But I guess one just needs to marry a guy who has the ability to ruin the moments he consider special all by himself and then put all the blame on the other party?"

"Now, why are you so determined to be so disagreeable all the time? " Yash asked as he too sat up and switched the lamp back on again.

"I am disagreeable! I like to assume things! I have an over imaginative mind! And you wonder why I believe you do not like me?"

Aarti stared at Yash who was just looking at her shaking his head. After a few moments later, he suddenly broke into a smirk and raised both his eyebrows.

"What?" Aarti did not get what he was trying to say.

"What?" She asked again after a few minutes passed, irritated when Yash still refuse to clarify himself.

"I think I know how this will work."

"What?" Aarti asked louder as Yash was taking his own sweet time explaining himself. He was enjoying making her wait. She was tempted to shriek but it was already late and she did not want to wake the family up.

"Now, instead of getting angry whenever you decide to get on my nerves, I will just kiss you. I think that should work just fine cause kissing you makes me feel other emotions instead of anger so we will not end up arguing."

"Why would you want to...I do not not want you to..."

"Because you are just so damn...kissable. And you enjoy being kissed so do not bother denying it."

Aarti blinked and she could feel her face warming up. Now what do you say to something like that? And why is Yash acting like this?

She turned away from him, switched off the lamp and pretended to sleep. But images of their kiss still flashed in her mind and she felt all funny inside again and knew she was going to have a tough time falling asleep.

Yash was also having a difficult time trying to sleep. At least now he has an upper hand against Aarti. He knew talking about their kiss or bringing up intimate moments would make her uncomfortable and would shut her up. She was blushing when he said she was damn kissable and she looked so damn adorable when she was embarrassed and lost for words that he was tempted to kiss her again! If only she would say something stupid now, he knew he would make good his threat.
