Her Second-Hand Husband!

Chapter 44: 43. A Friend?

Anika’s PoV

I woke up on a bed. Am I dreaming? Am I dead? Is this heaven? Or is this hell? I died from drowning in a swimming pool. My husband whom I love dearly pushed me in the water though he knew that I didn't know how to swim. He tried to kill me precisely. But why? He is angry at me, why? Angry that he would even kill me? What did I do?

“Shhh, relax, Anika. Don’t strain yourself.” I heard a lady sitting beside me.

“Am I dead?” I asked her.

“Haha, you are pretty alive. I have told Arjun not to teach you swimming anymore. How are you feeling?” she asked me.

“Feeling numb, I guess.” I told her unsure of what I actually feel. “Who are you?” I asked her.

“You don't remember me? I am Preethi, Arjun’s closest friend. I came to visit him as he didn’t go to the office today. Guess what, he is taking care of his sick wife.” She said, winking at me. I remember her, she came to our engagement too. She has this uncanny resemblance to someone I know. Who?

“Also, I am Praveen’s twin sister.” She said that answered my unasked question.

“Oh I was just thinking, who do you resemble?”

“I could read that on your face. Arjun has gone down to bring some hot tea for you.” She said.

“Oh, you are awake?” I heard my man’s voice from the door. He is ever so handsome in his grey t-shirt and a black shorts. God, why am I feeling scared and aroused all at the same time? Yes, he tried to kill me.

“Here, have some tea. How are you feeling?” He sat near me on the bed and felt my cheeks and forehead with the back of his hand. I couldn't stop but to lean into his touch.

“I am feeling better.” I took the tea from his hands.
