Chapter 17

Mithuna pushed him away.

" Mithu….tell me, What is your problem? Why don't you believe me? " he begged.

" Let me go. …" she cried closing her face with her palms.

" Baby… I know it's wrong to kiss without your consent but believe my love. If you yes, I will marry you here itself" he pleaded.

" I know why you want to marry me…..to fulfill your lust for me. Once you lose your interest in me you will throw me like trash," she said harshly.

Aditya slapped her hard on her cheeks with anger.

" How dare to name my love as lust huh..?" Aditya shouted at her.

Mithuna was frightened with his anger and her body was trembling.

He started the car and drove very fast. She didn't speak a single word with fear nor looked in his direction. After a few minutes, he stopped the car in front of her house.

" You can go…" he said seriously unlocking the car lock.

" I never show my face to you again and disturb you. My hope for your love is ended. Bye," he said with teary eyes when she got down from the car and started the car.

She ran inside the house and locked her room. She fell on the bed and cried while hiding her face in the pillow. She knew that she was attracted to him long back but she feared the mother's past. She controlled her heart to not fall in love with him but she failed.  But she was not ready to accept her feelings to herself.

From the next day, she had a high fever thinking that she would never see his face in her life.

The same day… evening….

At Amrutha's house

Dhruv came to visit Amrutha as he came to know about her health through Arvind.  He went directly to her room and saw her laying on the bed. She noticed her pale and dull face.

" How are you feeling now?" He asked sitting at the edge of the bed.

" Fine. "she replied.

Meanwhile, her maid came to the room with tomato soup. She asked her maid to keep it on the table and informed her that she will have the soup later. She placed the bowl and left the room.

" Have it before it gets cool. " Dhruv said.

He made her sit on the bed and placed a pillow behind her so that she would have some support to sit. He took the bowl in his hand and kept the spoon of the soup before her mouth. 

" At least have half of the soup. You will get some energy" Dhruv said.

" Don't act as if you care for me. I know you don't like me. " she pushed his hand.

" I am so worried, that's why I came to see you as soon as I came to know about your health," he answered.

" Don't lie. I am not a kid. I knew you were ignoring me from that day. I think on that day I hurt you without my knowledge. That's why you were so angry with me." Amrutha pouted.

He smiled at her and kept the bowl aside. He gently cupped her face and looked into misty eyes. 

" How can you think that I am angry with such a sweetheart like you.? " he questioned her.

" Then why were you avoiding me?" She pouted.

" I am busy with my office so I could not get time to meet you and Karthik is also not at home to spend time with mom. So…" Amrutha cut in the middle.

" you are saying lies..." She said with a sad face.

" You didn't see my side not inform me on the day you dropped my friend. I can understand that I hurt you by my words or action. Please forgive me and talk with me normally. " she informed him.

" From my childhood, I grew up without my parent's love. Later my grandparents left me. After coming here, I am living like a caged princess who has no freedom like a normal girl. If I ask my dad and my brother, they always convince me that whatever they are doing is for my good.  Now Karthik also left me for his further studies. I only have a few people in my life who are close to my heart. My dad, my brother, mithuna, Karthik, and you. I cannot bear the ignorance of my loved ones. I am feeling so alone.  " she cried telling the pain in her heart.

Immediately he embraced her and kissed the top of the hair.

" I am sorry, Ammu. I didn't know till now, my silence hurt you this much. From now, I will call you every day and also take you outside to your favorite every weekend " he promised her.

She moved away from his embrace and " Pinky Promise…!" She asked excitedly.

"Hmmm...I will talk to Arvind about it" saying he wiped her tears.

" Thank you so much…" she kissed his cheeks with happiness.

" You are the best. " she pinched his cheeks while smiling.

" Then what about me? " then they heard a voice.

" You are a Hitler…." Amrutha said, moving away from Dhruv

" Don't you have any other nickname to call me…" Arvind twisted her ear slightly.

" Oyee...she is not feeling well. Leave her you monkey…" Dhruv slapped Arvind's wrist.

" Now you are spoiling her. You don't know how much naughty my sister is. If you support her, she will dance on her finger. " Arvind warned Dhruv.

" It's okay. I can handle her and also promise to take her out every weekend. This will be final." Dhruv said firmly.

" See how good your best friend is and look at you how rude you are…" Amrutha said.

" Because of you, my sister is talking like this. When the time comes, I will take my revenge. " Arvind glared at Dhruv.

" Then you should also become the best brother to her and give her your favorite gift. " Dhruv suggested.

" I will think about it...first come with me…." Arvind dragged Dhruv.

" We can go later, first let her complete the soup…" Dhruv stopped Arvind.

Again he gave the bowl of soup to her and stayed till she finished it. Later, Arvind gave her medicine to take.

….

….

….

They together went to Arvind's room. 

" What do you want to talk to me about ?" Dhruv questioned Arvind.
