Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 20: 19. A NickName

Arjun's PoV

I went home, had a hefty dinner with my mom and went to my floor. It's actually been a week since I came back from Coimbatore and I could still not forget her face. The way she closed her eyes when I tried looking at her cheek, it was like she went into trance when I touched her. I felt like she yearned for that touch but I also know that it was wrong. She is an arrogant girl with very rude behavior. It is still fresh in my mind. I know she is a little girl just out of college and possibly wouldn't know how this world will treat her if she goes on with her behavior. I almost feel pity for her, for she is going to suffer hard if she is not going to change her attitude.

I could not take her out of my mind so I decided to take a swim to relax my disturbed mind. I got rid of my clothes and jumped in the pool. It is so relaxing to have a swim in this silence. I was floating when I heard my phone ring. It is 11pm and I have never got phone calls this late ever. I wonder who that might be and if it was an emergency. I swam back to my phone and saw a number. By the time I got there, the call was missed and I decided to call back.

"Hello, who is this?" I asked once they picked up the phone on the first ring.

"um... hello..." I heard a girl with a very unsure voice.

"Yes, I got a missed call from this number. Who is this?"

"um... can I talk to Nithya?" I heard her husky voice. I knew it was her. She called me for something without her parents knowledge but now she doesn't want to accept it. How funny.

"Sorry, looks like you have dialed the right number and asked for the wrong person." I sarcastically told her wanting to let her know that I knew it was her.

"um... sorry!" she hung up on me.

Whom did she think I am? People who know me are scared to even talk to me and here she is disrespecting me and calling me up at unusual hours. People get my appointment to even call my personal number and here she is taking it for granted? She needs to be put in her place before she exceeds her limits.

was her in her husky voice? This girl, even after her rude behavior, I feel like helping her out of her misery. It really bothers me to see her doing assisting
