It's the title that matters....

Andrew went where the two people were engrossed in performing a beautiful dance without thinking about anyone in this world. He was trying hard not to do anything improper. He was continuously telling himself to calm down and to look at things with a different view.

"Ariena..." He called her to gather their attention on him.

Evan and Ariena immediately stopped in their track to look at him. They thanked each other for the dance and she turned to him, "Andrew.. is there something you are looking for me.."

"Yes ...we are leaving now..." he said in a monotonous tone and moved his eyes to Evan, "Nice meeting with you Mr. Smith, and once again I thank you for helping my wife and accompany her in for the dance.....hope we'll see each other again.." he said soullessly.

"It's my pleasure to meet you Mr. Johnston and I feel honored to have a dance with Ariena, so thank you for allowing me.. and we will surely meet again..." Evan replied to him and turned to Ariena, "Let's keep in touch, see you soon.."

"Yes sure,bye brother Evan..."Ariena said her goodbye to him and they left the party.

.....

Inside the car...

Ariena was a little confused as well as surprised to see him behaving so aloof and tetchy. She was sneaking glances at him from now and then to find a way to begin the conversation as the silence in the car was unbearable.

After sometime, when car stopped at the red signal, she pester some courage and begin the talk, "Can we listen to the song... its quite boring sitting like this...." she said in soft coy voice and when she noticed that his expression darkened more she immediately made other excuse, "...also it's late we shouldn't fall asleep while driving music will keep us awake don't you think, if you're not comfortable than let's forget about this. I didn't say anything... hehe..... "

Andrew didn't even bother to give her a look and replied plainly, "Do what you feel like..."

Ariena shouted in her mind, 'Really this is your answer so now whether I should or I shouldn't put on the music ...why are you so grumpy Mister, it was you who decided to end up your enjoyment not me...'

She tried again by clearing her throat, "I feel bad I should have said my goodbyes to Stan and Brann. It's doesn't look nice to leave without informing them.. " she said while leaning on the car window. But to her dismay he didn't replied.

"Do you think they will think I have ignored them just because I met my senior..." she continued as if talking to herself. "I better give them a call and explain the situation.." again no response.

She thought he doesn't want to talk about party so she turned to face him and changed the topic, "Oh I forgot to tell you that we all trainees have been divided into groups in Matilda's and guess what all four of us are in same group....." no response , she continued looking forward, ".... they have told us that there would be an evaluation since six months of our training period is over and if we do well, one of our work can features in their upcoming spring collection. I'm so excited for it..." suddenly her chirping voice was gone and a mumble was heard as she again lean on window and looked outside at the passing by street lights, "Finally it's feel like I'll get what was mine in the first place..."

Andrew turned to have look at her for a brief moment but didn't say anything and then again turned back to focused on the road.

Suddenly Ariena felt so lonely and the silence in the car was making it harder for her to control her emotions. She wanted to think about something that can make her feel better. Out of blue she remembered something so she wanted to tell him before she forgot about it , "Andrew... Brother Evan invited me for the lunch, time and place is not decided yet but don't worry I'll inform you about it when everything is final. I wanted to give him a big welcome party but he insisted to postpone it for the time being.... " she was talking endlessly but was stopped by the sudden jerk.

Andrew had stopped the car with a screeching sound, if she had not put on the seatbelt she would have definitely fly out of the car front mirror. She looked at him with horror and anger filled in her eyes, "Are you out of your mind... do you know how dangerous it would have been, thanks to God it's not the wee hours of traffic, otherwise we would have surely met with a major accident.... Oh I shouldn't have allowed to drive the car in the first place, you have drink a lot....." she vent out all her frustration and continued, "..... now just get down from the steering wheel I will be driving, give me the keys.."

Andrew completely ignored her words and again started the engine with a roar. Feeling really frustrated and defeated from his ignoring, she also lost her cool for the first time in their marriage.

"Seriously, this is what you want to do, play with my and your life... If you have any questions or problem just split it out ...we are not playing charades here.." she literally bark out him.

Andrew didn't react at all because he knew if he opened up his mouth a tsunami will come. He was trying his best to get a control over himself.

While this reaction was not helping Ariena's mood, suddenly she remembered something so she charged at him again, "Oh so it's like this..... I have noticed your aloofness towards brother Evan, you acted really odd and cold towards him. I don't know what makes you wary of him but for your information he is a very important person in my life and I will never break up with him ..."

She continued defending Evan, without realizing that they have almost reached the private road to their mansion.

Andrew was also on his limit now ,he stopped the car again before it enter the main gate and faced her with ashen look, "Ariena note this very clearly in that filthy brain of yours, that I don't care about you or about your damn family or friends or your dreams. You are nothing to me. Yes, I object you been so close to him because I do care about my reputation and I don't want any bad publicity for my business. Those reporters out there are not interested in Ariena Werben instead they are keen to splash dirt on my face by saying 'Mr. Johnston wife cheated him ', 'she was dangling in other man arms '.....Do you have the guts or the power to suppress them ...No..No...no...". At that time he was possessed by his own anger. "Don't think too highly of yourself, you are worthless is it's tll title of Mrs. Johnson that is priceless. You should not use that title so carelessly. Instead of defending your brother Evan, reflect on your actions and it will be better if you remember the contract we have ...." He had said those words so emotionlessly without thinking of it's effect on her.

She instantly felt crushed by millions of bulldozers. She silently pinched her thighs tightly to control the tears which would fall out at any point and turned away from him.

Andrew also didn't paid any heed at her and drove in through the mansion gate at high speed.

........

Entering into his study room he immediately dialed a number, giving the necessary instructions to the one on other side.

Finally, he slumped in his chair to spend another sleepless night.
