The way I used to live

chapter 26

Daksha's POV:

I had a sleepless night because of Aarna's words. I spent the whole night, thinking about the 'what ifs'.

Damn, Aarna! She completely messed up my brain with her words.

I really don't know whether to consider her words seriously or to ignore them, considering it to be her usual nonsense.

Talking about Arjun, I have a strong feeling that he won't do any such thing.

Truth be told, I might have known him only for a short period of time but he gained a little bit of my trust. Don't ask me how because I don't know how it happened.

I spent a restless day in the hospital. I was waiting for the clock to strike at 4 o’clock.

So, I could meet him and finally get rid of this anxiety. It was 3:45 pm but I already started for the cafe.

I went walking as it was just a street away from my hospital. I reached there within five minutes and entered the cafe. While waiting for him, I ordered an espresso to calm myself.

He arrived sharply at 4:00 pm.  He took his seat and placed his order. An awkward yet comfortable silence engulfed us until it got broken by the waiter who returned with the order. God, it's really awkward.

He cleared his throat and placed a file in front of me. He gestured to me to open it but I sat there without moving an inch. He sighed and started talking.

"Why are you not opening it when I called you here for that purpose only?" He asked me.

Idiot, how can I open it when so many weird ideas are running in my brain?

"What's in it?" I asked after calming down my nerves to some extent.

"It's an agreement. It is actually important for you to sign it before the marriage itself," he told me but he didn't explain anything about what the agreement was for. It was enough for me to come to a weird conclusion.

"Agreement! What are you talking about, Arjun? I know this marriage is not happening out of love. I know that we both agreed to this just for our parents but seriously, how can you ask me to sign this agreement? Look Arjun, I don't know what you are expecting from this marriage but I want to give this marriage a chance. So, I can't and won't sign any of these silly agreements."

He looked astonished at my sudden outburst. I really didn't know what that damn agreement was about.

I couldn't help but think of it as a prenuptial agreement because of the circumstances of our marriage.

He looked at me with a somewhat amused and thoughtful expression and gestured to me with his finger to lean forward. I looked at him with a confused face but I did what he asked me to do.
