Chapter 59


Anthonia POV

I closed the door behind me and saw Aditi at the window, smoking.
Ugh!
Not again!

I sighed and walked towards the wardrobe then retrieved my night which I changed into at the bathroom.

Walking into the room,he was still smoking and I could recall Janvi telling me he smokes anytime he is upset.

"Don't you think it's too late to smoke?" I finally voiced but got no response.

"You seem worried." I pressed on.

"Forget about it." He mumbled coldly and I scoffed

"Forget? Aditi you are smoking so late at night." I said and there was silence for a while until he dropped the remaining burning stick in the ash tray and exited the room.

Ugh!



Diya POV

I spotted Adi walking right out of the house and he sure didn't look so good.

I glanced at Granny who was busy reading the holy book then went after him.

"Adi?" I called when I spotted him sitting on the grassy field.

"Adi…"I called and sat down next to him.
"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly and he only nodded.

"Don't lie to me Adi. I know something is up with you." I retorted and he sighed.

"I just feel different. Confused. It's scary and upsetting." Aditi mumbled and I furrowed my brows.

"What do you mean?" I queried but I got no response.
None…..


Anthonia POV

"Happy graduation my child!" Mother said to me as I smiled.

"Thanks Mother." I grinned.

"Hey! Anthonialet's take a picture." Kaeya called out to me and I chuckled walking up to her.

"Where is your husband?" Kaeya teased and I scoffed.

"Don't ask me. He is obviously busy with work."

"Wow! Someone's finally accepting the fact that she is married." She laughed and I groaned before we began to pose for the camera.

Later….

I graduated at last but Adi wasn't at the ceremony.
He didn't come and somehow, I felt upset.

Tonight, he didn't come home before it during dinner.
It was getting super late already.

I sighed and picked up my phone to place a call to Deven but stopped.

What is wrong with me!?

I headed for the bed and laid down to sleep.
During dinner, Father had talked about a business party being hosted next week and Aditi had to attend for the family company.

They also mentioned me going with him fhaf day.
Ugh!

Mother wouldn't ever give up.


I adjusted my shawl as I alighted gbe stairs to go have a break.
Everyone except Aditi was at the table.
Hmm

I placed a general greeting and began to serve myself.

"Did you sleep well?" Grandma asked and I nodded.

Funny enough,I haven't seen my husband in two days.

"Um…I will be going to see my parents today." I notified them .

"That's a good thing Anthonia." Aunt Indu complimented and I smiled.

"Mind if I tag along?" Janvi requested.

"Sure. It would be fun."I agreed and we all carried on with eating.

As I wore my bangles,I heard a knock on the room door.

"Janvi?" I called.

"Yes. Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yeah." I replied picking up my purse then made an exit.

"Nice saree." She complimented and I chuckled.

"I prefer you on English wears tho. Wish you could dress like me." She groaned and I laughed softly.

"Am married…that's why I can't." I said

"As if…." She scoffed.

"My brother stayed almost a whole month watching you dress so sexy." Janvi teased.

"Janvi!" I shrieked slapping her arm as she laughed.

"Quit being naughty." I warned playfully.

"Sure thing Mrs Singh." She laughed and scurried off towards our ride leaving me amused.

Writers POV

Aditi scanned through some files while his secretary watched him.

"Cancel our meeting with Mr Bumbay. I have a party to attend that day." He ordered.

"But sir…the party is not until that evening." She pressed.

"Who is the boss here!?" Aditi snapped and she went mute.

"Out!" He ordered and she bowed before scurrying off.

. Aditi exhaled leaning back on his seat as he palmed his face.
No doubt,he had something troubling him badly.

He opened a drawer, fetched out a pack of cigarette and litted a stick to his utmost satisfaction.

Anthonia POV

"Bye!" Mother waved as the jeeps rolled out of the premises.

"I sure had fun!" Janvi exclaimed as I grinned.

"Of course,gossip."I laughed and she chuckled.

"Proudly…"
"Who doesn't love gists? Your Mother is so cool!" She replied.

"Totally." I affirmed with pride.

"Well…. you should be getting ready for the party. The business party." Janvi said and I only smiled.

I am not sure I would need to attend after all, Aditi hasn't said a single word to me in days.

I should be happy and glad about the distance but somehow, I am not.

We got home pretty late cause Janvi had to stop by the mall to make a purchase.

★. Time Skip ★

Anthonia POV

As I watched the surrounding from the balcony,I could only imagine Aditi taking Diya to the party.
I had every reason to think that way since he had not made mention of it to me.

I bit my lower lip and let out a sigh .
Somehow, I wish things would be the way it was during our trip.
Since we got back, Aditi and I have barely shared a statement and I barely see him.

The party was tonight tho.
A knock on the room door drew my attention and I headed to answer it.

"Coming….!"

I opened the door and Janvi rushed in with the twins grinning widely.

"What's happening? You three look like clowns." I teased and we shared a laugh.

"Well…a package was sent in few minutes ago from your husband to you." Janvi squealed handing me a shopping bag which I took with furrowed brows.

I took out a large box which was tied up with a ribbon and had a short note on it which was in a folded paper which I opened.
It re'd;

'For you. I would love to see you wear that dress tonight.'

Hold on…
I opened ghe box and in it was a red outfit.
The girls helped me bring it out and it turned out to be a red English dress.

I gasped and they shrieked excitedly.

"No…this is probably a mistake. It might be for Diya." I blurted.

"Seriously?" Jaya scoffed.

"Hello!? You are his wife. Besides,the delivery guy clearly said it's for Mrs Aditi Singh. Now tell me,how many Mrs Aditu Singh do we have in this mansion? Don't be a butt head Anthonia." Lara sneered and Janvi nodded.

"Come on,come on…. let's transform you princess." Janvi urged as they dropped the package and pulled me towards the bathroom.

I fekt brand new.
Why?
Those crazy girls made me have the most cleanest bath of my life and Janvi took her time in transforming my face.

My endless protest wasn't given any attention so I had no choice but to succumb.

Twice, Granny and Mum-in-law came to check up on the progress and the twins asked them to be patient.
Ugh!
The attention would be massive.

By the time I pulled on the dress, I could only marvel.
It was red,long and hugged my body frame with a slit up to my thigh.
The top was off shouldered and I felt way too different.

"Can I really attend that party like this?" I groaned.

"Of course Anthonia. Come on! You are the most famous CEO's wife." Janvi enthused and I sighed.
The twins had a thing for hair and soon,my hair was up in a beautiful bun and the hair pins Aditi had gotten for me were used.

As I alighted the stairs, Granny, Mum and our Aunts were waiting.
Immediately they saw me, they were definitely awed.

"Did Aditi really send her this dress?" Aunt Indu asked and the girls nodded

Granny kissed my forehead tenderly and prayed no one casts an evil eye upon me.

During the event, Diya walked into the living room and Janvi began telling her how Aditi got me that dress.

I almost laughed at the look on her face.

The jeeps rolled into a large premises with numerous flashy cars around.
We found a spot and parked before the guards came out to open the door for me.

I held my purse and carefully alighted with the help of a guard.

"Where's he?" I asked a the guard closed the door.

"This way ma'am." He replied and led the way.
We passed through few cars and I spotted Aditi's ride.

As we approached the area,his guards alighted the jeeps and waited for us.

"Namaste ma'am." They greeted and I nodded glancing at the jeep Aditi obviously occupied.

"Tell him am here." I said and almost immediately,I heard a knock on the glass window and a guard opened the door.

I watched as Aditi stepped out in a red tux and his hair seemed retouched.
I held unto my purse as he quickly scanned me and I noticed a flash of what seemed to be consent.

Aditi extended his arm which I nervously locked with mine and we headed for the large building.

Upon our entrance,the Master of the ceremony announced our arrival and the unexpected ovation made me really surprised.

Cam lights flashed all over and every table we passed had it's occupants trying to touch us.

The women I had seen so far were mostly on sarees and it made me feel a lot more weird.

We finally arrived our table and occupied it to my relief.

The seats were like that of the one back at the casino in Australia so Aditi and I were at close range.


We were to share the table with another company.

Well…a part of me felt glad that Aditi finally acknowledged me as his wife
