Ira glanced at Vivan. He was leaning against the window. The atmosphere in the car was tranquil.
Vivan let alone speak he was not even looking at her.
"Viv, why are you still angry?" her voice hadn't softened a little.
'Is he throwing a fit just because I was mad at him? Yes, I am at fault for ignoring him after his declaration of love. I merely said sorry for the blind date. However, that was only because Reeya appeared in front of me all of sudden.'
'And now he is behaving childish, pouting just because I scolded him.'
In fact, Ira was now recalling the movie details all the time Vivan was in the mood of teasing her.
Actually, Ira still couldn't get over the fact that they kissed in the presence of so many people. Feeling ashamed, her feelings of embarrassment converted into anger.
'All of it is this man's fault.'
It was quite apparent who wanted to seduce whom form the beginning...
"Ira, what is the password of our house?" He asked calmly, staring out of the window.
"2012." She replied instinctively."Why are you asking?"
Ira was annoyed that he didn't reply to her question and instead replied with another sensless one.
He turned to look at her with frowning eyebrows.: "What day is that?" he seemed seriously bitter.
"20th December. Our wedding anniversary," she replied with some uneasiness in her heart.
'Where am I wrong?'
She was still trying to make sense of his sulky expression when she suddenly thought of something and glanced at her mobile phone kept at dashboard which read 20th December. 12:35.
"That's today..... It is our marriage anniversary. Today...Sorry" Holding some guilt, her voice got lower and lower towards the end of the sentence.
"Hmm." he again leaned at the window.
'How could I forget that?'
'How do you expect me to remember a day before?...No a day before is justifiable.'
Vivan expected today to be special. He will surprise Ira on their marriage anniversary by taking her to a restaurant so far away from their home, recalling old memories and professing his love for her.
He thought that she will be glad, appreciating that he remembered the anniversary, and even wished her at midnight but he was disappointed. She had instead forgotten the date. The decisive and meticulous Ira who never disremembers anything forgot the date of their wedding.
Ira frankly had not even a small inkling about his plans. She guessed he was taking her out to a special restaurant far from their place just to ease her mind. They never celebrated their anniversary.
As soon as the car was parked, Vivan got off walking straight toward the villa, not looking back.
Ira facepalmed herself and followed him.
The night was special she didn't wish to spoil it with him being upset.
'He said he loved me long before marriage and I didn't even reply. Further so forgot the wedding anniversary date,'
Ira also got up, went to the kitchen took a glass of juice from the refrigerator and handed it to Vivan: "Viv, are you tired? How about some orange juice?"
"No, I will drink water." He crossed her, moving to table, poured a glass of water, sat down on the sofa and drank silently.
Ira looked at his unsatisfied face and mumbled. "Drink it and quench your thirst."
She thought of another plan, went to her bedroom and changed into black lingerie and came down quick.
Let's try to seduce him.
"Viv~" she called him in a sensual voice.
Viv was still sitting on the sofa with his back facing her.
"Viv~I need a back rub. Can you?"
His hand slid down slowly from the armrest of the sofa.
"What! Are you Sleeping?" she frowned. Immediately, rushing in front of him only to find him sleeping.
She sat on the ground in frustration still looking at him.
"Your face looks kind when you are sleeping."
"So what do you want to do?" he spoke lightly opening his eyes.
"Mmm," she bit her lips.
"Why did you stop talking now that you woke me up?"
"Nothing." Ignoring his cold look, he slept on the sofa with her head on his laps.
"What are you doing?" he groaned.
"Oh, the mood is so nice. Why don't you lend me your legs?" She said patting on his thighs.
Ira looked at him while Vivan was still not looking at her. Her mischievous hand went to the place in between his legs.
Startled, he pushed her hand. Pulling her up, he stood quickly.
Vivan was not even sleeping when she came over,
Hearing her seductive call, he knew she was with something he just didn't want to forgive her so easily merely by seducing him.
'Am I that easy? I will not fall into a beauty trap.'
When her hands went to the place, he pulled her hand because it was already swollen, she will be convinced that she won.
She knew his weakness. Only way out was going out.
Ignoring her, he wore his jacket again and declared: "I am going for a walk."
"You are going to leave me here and go." Ira made a frowned look. But Viv walked to the door.
"Wait for me." she again followed him.
Viv waited for her to wear her warm pink fluffy coat.

Walking in the backyard, in a cool and peaceful night, Ira stuck close to Viv.
"Captain," she said.
"hmm..me?"
"Yes. I am curious about something," she asked in a cutesy voice.
"What?"
She whispered softly "Is that you don't want to do it or you're just holding it in?"
Vivan suddenly stopped.
She was indiscreetly talking about his manly needs.
Ah! He was a normal Man. How can he stand her deliberate teasing? In fact, she was right, he was just holding it in.
"Why? Why aren't you walking?" she said with a fake surprised face.
Under the moonlight, her eyes shined dark and bright. Her face had got a bit chubbier and cute.
Pulling her hair back, Vivan kissed her lips and let out a chuckle.
"Let's go back," he said in her ear.
"Yes," she mumbled. Taking Ira's hand, he walked back to the mansion to continue their lovemaking.
