Coming out of the shower Sanaya was blowdrying her hair when she heard a strong hit on the door by someone. She raised her eyebrows casually and glared at herself to see if she was wearing any clothes.
To put on something quickly, Sanaya walked towards the cupboard but then again, she heard another hard knock at the door as if someone was hitting on the door angrily. "Who's it? Wait a second." She asserted.
"Open the door!" She heard Nick's aggressive voice coming from the outside.
"Wait for a second please." Sanaya quickly put on her bathrobe as she found it near her hand and then she immediately opened the door. "What's wrong with you? I was changing and...."
Like a raging Bull, Nick walked into her room and then kicked the door behind him with his leg.
"What are you doing?" Confused, she asked him.
Nick on the other hand, without saying anything he held his phone right in front of her eyes and questioned in an enraged tone, "What is this?"
Sooner or later, he was going to know anyway. She was ready for this. And she was not scared about his reaction at all.
Sanaya glared at the screen and asserted casually, "Ahh these media... They are faster than even a cheetah."
Seeing how she reacted, he could feel that she was not surprised at all.
"Are you really an actress?" He asked her trying to keep calm.
"Of course it's true. Or if they...." She answered him casually.
Nick couldn't hold onto anymore. He squeezed his phone enraged and told her in an authoritative tone, "You are going to back off. I'll get rid of this news."
"Sorry?"
"Quit that profession." Nick sounded more like giving her choices rather than suggesting her.
But coming this far was not so easy for her, she had no plan of quitting after going through hardships?
"You have got really bad humor style you know?" Sanaya let out a soft chuckle and walked towards the bathroom.
But when she thought he was joking he was being serious. She couldn't get into the bathroom but she had to stop at her feet as she heard a loud noise. Nick screamed out of anger and threw his phone on the floor.
She could see all the parts of his phone now were broken apart and floating around. Looking at the parts she asserted, "What's wrong with you? Oh my God, just because you are rich who told you to throw things like this whenever you feel like it? Such a waste of money..." She bent over to collect them one by one but suddenly he held her hand.
Rising her head she glared at him. Nick was still furious, his eyes were saying so.
"I'm not in the mood to joke. You cannot be an actress, just do as I said. Tell...." He was still holding her wrist tight.
"And why should I listen to you? Are you even serious? What do you mean by quitting?" Sanaya jerked her hand away.
"I am your husband. You are going to do as I'm saying. You...."
Sanaya knew he was surely crazy. Even after one year, he remained the same. Letting out a sarcastic chuckle, Sanaya glared at him as if she wanted to eat him up. "Listen here, Mr. I had to work hard to reach where I am right now. Not only you but nobody can tell me what should I do and what not. And how dare you tell me to quit? Do you think I am playing football here and you are my coach? Lol." She breathed in a deep sigh as she said everything in one go.
Nick had never liked to take a 'no' for an answer. If he was telling her something then she must do that.
Keeping his voice sounding like a boss he told her, "Don't try to play with me. You cannot survive in that industry if I don't want you to stay there so leave when I'm being nice, Sanaya."
At any cost, she was not going to back off. And at the least not when he was challenging her.
Raising her head she looked straight into his eyes. She seemed to be confident and uncaring. Blowing on her nails Sanaya sat on the couch. "Guess you always like to tell others things they should do and they should not, you think that will be the same with me too. But let me tell you, I won't do as you said. If you have any problem you can just tell me and we can go a separate way."
"I have been noticing something since the day you had come back."
"And what is that?" Sanaya probably thought he would say that was her behavior but Nah! To her surprise, he sat next to him. He turned his head towards her and asserted, "That you want to go away from me."
Hearing him Sanaya quickly got up and let out a light cough. What was he saying? Among all the things he noticed only that? When she was not intended to get a divorce.
"What? Ain't I right?" He smiled at her as if he won.
"It doesn't matter to me... Anyway, I won't quit my career because of you. Remember this." Sanaya let him know her words.
There was something strange. It was really weird. Day by day he was getting more aggressive and at times, it was hard for him to control himself but how easily, today he calmed down. Now, he could feel his rage dying slowly deep down.
Seeing him stay quiet Sanaya said, "If you are done then can you please leave? I need to get changed."
'Why am I so calm right now? According to the symptoms, I should have been shouting right now but I can't even feel any rage at all. What's happening to me?' he was busy thinking so.
Snapping her fingers in front of his eyes Sanaya said a little louder this time. "Hey, can you please go out? I need to change."
Hearing her loud voice he came back to reality. As nothing worked he was going to leave. But as he reached the door he stopped walking. Instead of leaving he turned towards her and said, "Then change."
"What?" In utter shock, she looked at him.
Nick scoffed and tried sounding calm. "Since we are husband and wife, why would I leave? You can change in front of my eyes." And without invitation, he sat on the couch again.
Sanaya was left surprised. What's wrong with him? Seeing him sitting on the couch Sanaya looked around. The surrounding started feeling uneasy, slowly the temperature was increasing. Sanaya crossed her arms over her chest, she tried to look cool.
"No thanks, please leave."
Suddenly Nick laid his body on the couch. He intended to stay there. Lying on the couch he said casually, "I don't want to."
"What do you mean? I want to change and you want to stay here? Hya, don't forget this is my room." Holding his hand she tried getting him up.
But no matter what, he decided he would not leave. He held her hand instead and said, "A wife should not be shy in front of her husband, you know that. So you change in front of me." He let her know.
"Are you kidding? Who's your wife? I'm telling you, get up right now and leave. Leave while I'm being really nice." She started pulling his shirt to wake him up.
"Of course it's you. Ahh, did you forget? Should I put vermillion on your head again?"
"... Never mind. Since you like this sofa then keep sleeping on it." Sanaya quickly took her dress and ran to the bathroom.
Nick got up and was about to call Kyle but his eyes caught on his broken phone. Sigh! He needed a new phone right now. Feeling irritated he walked towards the door and suddenly his footsteps froze at the place.
In front of his eyes, he could see himself standing two inches away from him with something in his hand and he looked so desperate and sad as if he was afraid that he might have lost someone close to his heart. He could see himself mumbling Sanaya's name and running out of the door.
'What was that...' Suddenly Nick felt dizzy, his vision became blurry and his head started hurting badly. Touching his head Nick touched the couch as his legs were unsupportive of his walking.
'My heart, it... Hurts, it hurts...' Unable to even move, he sat on the couch, and in a second, he lay flat on the couch. Sanaya quickly ran to him as she saw the scene.
Worried, she sat near him and touched his face. "What happened? Nick?"
