My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby! novel Chapter 37

Rishi's PoV

I never expected Smirthi here. I couldn't even see Danya’s face. Hurting Smirthi is the least thing I want to do now. So far Danya has taken Smirthi's matter in a more mature way. Never once has she questioned me on it. Except yesterday morning though. That too because I cornered her saying she had a boyfriend. She will understand me when she gets to know why Smirthi needs me. I know I am expecting more from her. She is just a kid. The sooner I talk to her the better.

Smirthi is so inconsiderate. I totally hate the way she behaves. But I don’t want to make her upset. So, I went along with her. Danya just stood there. It hurts me inside to see her like that. 

Smirthi has taken loads of dresses to try on. I sat on a stool not knowing what to do. Danya slowly came near me.

"um... Please don't leave me here. I don't know how to go back home. Call me when you are Leaving." She said that looking straight in my eyes. Her usually speaking eyes had no life! It's killing me from inside. When I was about to clutch her hand to make her stay, Smirthi just opened the trial room door.

"Rishi! How's this? You like purple color right. That is why I picked this one first." I ignored her. She is nothing like I thought of her. She is deliberately hurting Danya.

When I turned back to Danya, she was not there. I stood up to go search for her, but Smirthi stopped me again. She is starting to irritate me. 

"Wait honey. I have 4 more dresses." she said.

“Listen Smirthi, everything has a limit and you are crossing it. Behave yourself.” I told her in a more subtle way.

“Rishi, you are an expert in clothing and I just want your opinion on it. I am the same Smirthi as before. I haven't changed a bit but you have grown impatient on me in such a short time. It has always been you in my life but looks like you are ready to replace me.” she spoke, sulking.

“Dont make me regret meeting you at all, Smrithi. Just get whatever the hell you want.” I told her.

I saw Danya looking at some clothes and talking to a salesgirl. She didn’t turn once to see me. It hurts to see her neglect me. I know I'm hurting her. I should talk to her after going home. I should tell her everything. Maybe then she will not get hurt.

Smirthi is surely annoying. I mean she usually likes shopping. I have taken her shopping so many times. She is behaving as usual. But I hate it now. She hasn't even recognized Danya’s presence. She sure does this on purpose. How did I spend so many days with this girl? Why didn’t I see this before? This is why dad disliked her at first sight? What made him like Danya? Everything?!?!?!?! Yes, everything about her is beautiful. She is not doing anything to impress others. She is being herself. That is the best part.

Danya is completely filled in my mind and heart. I can't hurt her like this. When I turned to see her, she was talking with a man? Laughing? Who the hell is he? I went near them.

"Haha, I just missed you. Your wedding was like a movie." he said.

He just missed my wife? How dare he say that? Alright, no more hasty decisions.

"haha! Please, we can still be friends and be in touch. It's so nice of you to take it in a nice way. Nice to meet you after..." She was talking to him. I can’t take it anymore.

"Danya! Who is this?" I intervened.

"um...He is Praveen. I came to your wedding to see him. He just saw me here and we were just talking. Praveen, this is my husband Rishi." She introduced him to me.

"Hello Mr. Rishi. It's not fair what you did. You took her from me. I'm an unlucky fellow." 

He said that to me!? She won’t say anything to object? And the worst is she is smiling at him?

"Maybe, you are Mr. Praveen. Nice meeting you." I turned to my wife.

"Are you done shopping? I have to go to the office too."

"Not yet." She said looking down.

"Ok, Praveen, will see you later. bye." She told him.

"Danya, give me your number. I will notify you when I get my life partner."

How dare he ask for her number in front of me?! Why the hell is she looking at me?

"um... 98*******1". She gave him her number!?

"Alright, Danya. I will give you a call. Just save my number. See you. Bye Mr. Rishi!"

Finally, he left. I'm really mad at her. She gave her number to her ex-fiance? What did she think? 

“May I know why you gave your number to him?” I asked her, controlling all my anger.

“He asked.” She said without looking at me.

“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked her. She is doing this wantedly.

“Did I ever question you on Smirthi?” she asked me and left to continue her shopping. I am beyond angry with her. I was bound by this damn situation. But she is doing it on purpose just to get back at me.

Smirthi came and pulled me for her further shopping. When she was done, we went to the billing queue. Danya was already standing there? But why? She didn’t call me? I saw her give a credit card to the counter and I lost it. I went forward and gave my card for her bill.

"Do it with this card." I told the man at the counter.

He looked at her and she didn’t even raise her eyes at me. 

"Please let me pay. Don't make a scene here." She said.

Me? Making a scene? Is she out of her mind? I took her shopping. She is my wife. I should pay for her. Is that making a scene?

"Rishi, come here!" God hell with this Smirthi.

She paid her bill and went to the entrance and started waiting for me. I'm already angry at her and she made it grow even higher.

I paid Smirthi's bill and I felt it was so wrong. I have done this every time she's been shopping. Never once did I feel like paying her bill wrong. But I do now.
