OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 31 – 40
Episode 38
Ahana gave me a surprising look. It’s true, I had to wait until she got up because her head was so perfectly rested on my shoulders that I wasn’t able to move.
Ma smirked at Ahana. She was all red now.
“I swear, Ma, she sleeps so much that even a loud banging won’t be enough to wake her up.” I continued bragging. She gave me a stern look. But still, I enjoyed the moment.
“Ansh… Dare you say anything more to my daughter. She works so hard, doesn’t she require rest?” Ahana’s dad said.
“And then you keep her waiting all the time. Shame on you.
Ahana! Good work. You kept him waiting for you.” Now my dad chimed in.
“So, I am stuck in between this Ahana Fan Club. Ma… Please save me. And also, I am starving. Let them talk. I have to leave early too.
I have lots of work.” I said. Ahana still stood speechless, looking gorgeous in her slightly messy and muddy gown.
“Of course, Son, c’mon. Ahana, you too come. You must be hungry, and anyways we were waiting for you for a long time.”
“You guys carry on. I’ll change and come back in a few minutes, Ma.”
She said and went to her room. I had visited her house many times but had never seen her room.
I watched her until I couldn’t see her anymore.
“Son! It’s fine if you leave Aha alone. Why don’t you go to her room?” Ma said. Now I know she was pulling my leg because I was caught staring.
But before I could answer, my cell phone was ringing.
“Hmmm… Didn’t I say to cancel my meetings? I have planned my day with my family, you know I don’t appreciate this… Okay! I’ll be there.” I hung up. It was Jen’s call.
“Ma…” I called her. She stopped and turned around. I know I am going to upset a lot of people.
“Actually, I’ll have to leave. There’s some urgent work. Dads and grandpas, see you soon. I swear I wouldn’t leave if it wasn’t that important.”
“But, Ansh, you didn’t even have your lunch. Have it and then go,” Ma said.
“This is not fair, Ansh. I have asked you to keep your work and home timings separate. I can’t tolerate this,” Dad shouted.
“I remember, Dad. But that client is very important. Thanks, Ma. But my lunch will be pending. Sorry. And see you.” Saying so, I went away.
“Ansh…” Dad was still calling me.
But I ignored it. This client had specially flown from the US to just have an hour of discussion about the new project that Ahana and I were going to take over.
Ahana too had to come, but it’s fine; I’ll handle it. She needs time with her family. She met them after almost 4 months.
I couldn’t take away her only happiness.

AHANA’S POV
I swear I would have killed Ansh for speaking so rudely in front of them.
I think he was getting a bit too much freedom today. But I forgive him because he has been such a sweetheart to the kids.
I was still overjoyed with his act. It wasn’t the same arrogant Ansh whom I had met for the first time on his terrace.
I saw a very different person.
I didn’t realize when I fell asleep on his shoulders.
They were well-built, and my head found a perfect rest. The sleep was so peaceful and happy.
I grabbed my cell and gave a glance at the pics I had captured. Ansh. He was looking so adorable.
I shouldn’t feel anything because our relationship is just an Agreement, but I still wish he was my husband.
I changed my wallpaper to his pic. I didn’t know what prompted me to do that, but it just felt right.
I am just sure that I don’t have any feelings for that idiot. It’s just that I am very happy today.
It’s just a perfect Sunday. A fun day with family. Everyone was so happy that after 4 months we were together and having lunch together.
I took a quick shower and put on a light yellow sundress with lip gloss and a hairband, letting my hair fall freely on my shoulders.
I put on my favorite Swiss Army perfume. I wanted to smell good. I had to because today felt a bit special.
I went down to the dining area. Everyone was there except for the person whom I wish to see. Ansh.
Where the heck was he? I thought he was hungry. My eyes were constantly searching for him. Maybe he went to the restroom.
“Aha… Come here soon. We are waiting,” Ma called. I went towards the dining table, but there was still impatience in my eyes.
“Ma… Where’s Ansh?” I finally asked.
“Already missing your hubby? He had some important business to take care of. So he went,” Dad said.
But how could he abandon us like this?
“But… We had canceled all our meetings. And today is Sunday.
