You make me so happy,

It turns back to sad.

Gargi's Pov

We bid bye to each other on the video call and I hanged up. I turned to move inside the room as I was standing in the balcony but halted when I saw my buddy calling me.

"Hello gorgeous." he said and I chuckled hearing his new way of addressing me.

I asked him about his whereabouts as he was calling me after months and as usual he replied with the same answer. "Are you forgetting I am a chef. Who owns hotels and has to bring new dishes in the market every month." He showed me his fake anger and I giggled looking at him.

"Btw thank you so much for coming here for Mahira. I love you bye." He said in an urgency as if the world would burn down if he didn't hang up the call.

I turned around only to get hit by a wall.

'No wait how is this even possible, this can't be a wall.'

I opened my eyes only to get drown in those mesmerising hazel eyes. I cleared my throat and moved a bit away to maintain some distance. When I moved away I again looked at him only to gawk at his post shower look. Oh those wet dark brown hairs I wish my hands could get tangled in it. My gaze slowly went to his jaw, wish I could bite his perfectly chiseled jaw. Going down I looked at his Adam's apple and then at his perfectly toned six pack abs. Soon realisation hit me that I was gawking when he cleared his throat. That irritating smirk never leaving his lips.

"Like what you see angel."

"Huhh" coming out of the trance I understood he caught me staring at his body.

Suddenly his eyes darkened, he took a step towards me and I moved my step behind. He asked "Who was on the call?"

I then understood that why Kartik cut the call in so much urgency. No wonder he was scared of my possessive husband.

Caging me between the balcony railing and him. He again repeated himself this time his tone a bit harsh. Showing his underlying suppressed anger.

I stuttered a bit while saying "M..My Frien..Friend."

He caressed my cheeks with the back of the thumb while asking "A guy?"

I wasn't able to form any sentence due to the close proximity. I can see his anger building  behind those hazel eyes. Suddenly his fingers wrapped around my neck choking me the hold was neither harsh nor soft. The hold showed his pain and anger. I tried to push him away but it was of no use.

I closed my eyes due to the pain when he said "Never I repeat never ever talk to any other guy other than me if you want him to be alive."

I snapped my eyes open and saw him with anger and hurt. I didn't realised when tears started flowing. As soon as he looked at my tears he loosened his grip on my neck and his eyes softened. I pushed him away and walked inside the room. I knew he had trust issues but for once in his life can't he trust me. I heard him cursing himself in the balcony area but I didn't cared about it at the moment. I covered myself with the blanket. When suddenly he held my hand I was still fully covered in blanket when he started apologising to me. I knew his past trauma which was the cause of his trust issues took over him but he needs to understand that I am not someone who would work according to him. I would talk to anyone and everyone whomsoever I wanted to talk. He is no one to tell me what to do. I didn't said anything nor replied to his apologies. Soon sleep engulfed me.

Next day

Gargi's Pov

I woke up with a sore hand I looked around to find the cause of my pain sleeping like a baby hugging his soft toy. I smiled but soon the last nights events flashed in front of my eyes. I tried to get my hand back from his hold when he woke up with a jerk. He held my hand back with a sad face but I again tried to remove my hand from his hold but he didn't budged. I sighed at his constant tries. I looked at him only to find him showing me his famous puppy eyes. Ohh how I want to hold him and kiss him, I thought. I cleared my thoughts and with a jerk I removed my hand from his hold. I moved towards the bathroom to freshen up when he back hugged me.

I heard him sobbing softly " I.. I aaa..amm sorry baby, I shouldn't have done that. It's just my anger took over me."

He slowly turned me towards himself "Baby please talk to me. Hit me, curse me but please don't stop talking to me. I know I am a jerk I am sorry baby."

I knew he would say sorry and then again get jealous over a small thing. I was irritated by his same behavioural cycle. I wiggled to get out of his hold but this gym brat won't leave me.

"Leave me Mr. Armaan." I said trying to get out of his hold.

"Not until you accept my apologies, Mrs. Armaan."  He said his hold tightening on my shoulder.

Soon he started tickling me and I started laughing hard soon we fell on the bed. He caressed my cheeks and stuttered "I...I would never try to hurt you Gargi. I promise you that. It was just my jealousy."

I cupped his cheeks and said "Chill I know about your trust issues and I would never betray you."

I got up from the bed to leave for washroom when I turned towards him and said "Btw you shouldn't get jealous over my little brother." I winked at him and started laughing. He fake coughed when he got to know who was the mysterious I love you guy from the last night.

I again turned to walk in the bathroom when he asked "Should we bath together you know we could save so much of water." Heat rushed to my cheeks by his flirting. I turned around only to see him smirking at me.

"Will you stop pursuing me as if we are still in a relationship." I retorted back completely ignoring his flirting.

"I know but what if someone snatches you away from me."

And here we go again.
