Khushi walked out of the dressing room and he looked up.
“How does this look?” she asked. She turned around to show him the back and the sides.
“The color doesn’t look good on you,” he answered. Khushi gave him an angry look, he had insisted that she try all the ones she had selected, and she did but only a few he had liked, it was so hard to please her husband. She took another dress from the hands of the assistant Olivia. He had arranged for one of the bigger private dressing rooms, and Olivia had been holding all the things she had selected so far.
A few minutes later she walked back out again with a long white dress on. Khushi went towards the mirror and checked it, “I like this one,” she said out loud but didn’t get a response from him. She looked back to see him engrossed on his phone.
“Arnav!” she groaned and her looked up at her immediately, “Can you atleast just get off your phone.”
“But this is an important message Khushi,” he said and went back to completely ignoring her. Khushi went over to Olivia and asked her, “Could you find me the black dress that you had shown me earlier.”
“But Ma’am you said it was too-” she answered and was cut off.
“I’ve changed my mind and want to try it on,” Khushi replied. Olivia left and a few minutes later came back with the dress Khushi asked her to find.
“Thank you, could you just give us some time, I’d like to talk with my husband alone, we’ll come to the front with our final selections,” Khushi told her and she left. Khushi went back into the dressing room to try on the black dress, she then stepped out and looked in the mirror.
“Arnav how does this one look?” she eyed him through the mirror, “I really like it, and it’s the last one to try on, so I think I’ll just wear it out from here.”
Arnav looked up and saw what she had tried on now, and Khushi saw a sudden change in his demeanor. The structure of his jaw stiffened as he took in what she was wearing, and rage rose within his eyes.
“Like hell you’ll be wearing that out of here,” he gritted through his teeth, and next thing she knew he had come behind her and pushed her against the adjacent wall.
“Why? You don’t like it?” she asked innocently, knowing that she was pulling his strings.
“I am not having my wife walk out of here half naked” he replied pulling her figure against his and slid one hand behind her and ran it along her spine. The dress was completely back less, and also ended just above her knees.
“As if you even care!” she fired back.
He raised his eyebrow at her, “So this too get back at me? Well I can show you just how much I care when we get to our hotel room, unless you want to start right here?”
