Recap: Manasi doubleplays with Sanjana

***

Sanjana had fallen asleep early, exhaustion taking over her. Aryan entered her room quietly, his gaze softening as he saw her sleeping soundly. Moving closer, he gently pulled the duvet over her, making sure she was warm. Leaning down, he pressed a light kiss to her forehead before silently leaving the room.

The next morning, Sanjana woke up feeling slightly refreshed. She stepped into the garden, intending to feed the birds as she usually did. However, she halted in her tracks when she spotted Aryan already there, scattering grains for them.

" What is he up to now? " she thought with a frown.

"Good morning, darling," Aryan greeted with a wink.

Ignoring him, she turned around and went inside to get ready for the office. She draped a light pink saree around herself, letting her hair fall freely over her shoulders. As she descended the stairs for breakfast, she felt his gaze on her. It was intense, unwavering. Without acknowledging him, she grabbed her bag and left for work, skipping breakfast entirely.

At the office, she was met by Daniel, who was leaning against her cabin door with a grin.

"Wow, Sanju! You are killing it with your beauty today," he said dramatically.

"Daniel, call me Sanjana," she corrected, her patience thinning.

"Alright, alright, Sanjana! What's the special occasion?" he asked following her but  Sanjana said "Nothing," giving him a curt reply.

"My god! I don't think I'll be able to focus on work today." Daniel look at her dreamily while Sanju rolled her eyes. "Bye, Daniel. I have important work to do."

" I think he has never seen a woman before. Idiot, ruined my morning mood." she thought and made her way to room determined to immerse herself in work. A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. When she opened the door, a woman stood there with a tray.

"Who are you?" Sanjana asked, puzzled.

"I m the maid and I work in the kitchen here, madam. Sir has ordered me to serve you breakfast." the woman raising the tray in her hand a little.

Sanjana's brows knitted together. "Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Please take it back."

The maid hesitated but eventually left. Not long after, Aryan stormed into her cabin and grabbed her wrist.

"Aryan, leave me!" she protested, trying to free herself.

"Shut up and follow me," he ordered.

"Are you insane? I said leave me! Why don't you understand?" Sanju tried to get out of his hold but Aryan glared at her. "If you don't shut up, I have only one way to silence you." He dragged her to his private dining space and made her sit.

Placing the plate before her he commanded her ,"Eat,"

"I'm not hungry," she snapped.

"You're not leaving until you finish your food." Aryan stood with his hands folded.

"Aryan, why don't you leave me in peace?" she asked, frustration evident in her voice.

" Sanjanaa, eat, and you'll have peace." Aryan said his voice calm and determined.

Sanjana's patience was already frayed after dealing with Daniel earlier. Emotions overwhelmed her, and she pushed the plate away, making the cutlery clatter against the table. The maid quickly retreated from the room, sensing the tension.
