Bewitched

Chapter 56

Mohit's POV

I didn't want Robin to involve Srusti in all this. I knew him... He was going to play some dirty game... I had to keep her away from me and all this for the time being. But I would tell her everything soon. Very soon.

She was waiting for me. I could not even afford to look at her beautiful face, or I would have continued to do what we were doing before we were abruptly disturbed by him.

So, I just served food to both of us to try and control my emotions. But I hurt her in some way that I did not understand. I was already so stressed with Robin being inquisitive about the girl in my life. I was sure he was planning something.

The tinkling sound of wind chime brought me back out of my thoughts and I realised that I was still standing in front of her room.

" Srusti !!! Please open the door... I need to talk to you. I need to tell you something. " I said but there was no response.

I thought that I must wait till morning, as she was very upset at that time. So I let her rest and I went to my minibar and made a large drink for myself and had many of such drinks before I went to my room.

Srusti's POV

It was morning already and I had to go out and prepare breakfast for us. I went to the dining room and saw that food was still lying there on the dining table.

He also didn't eat after I left. Then I saw an empty liquor bottle and a glass on the bar table.

Oh God!!! So he kept drinking after I refused to talk to him...

I felt bad, it was not his fault that I was falling in love with him. He made it clear right in the beginning that he loved someone else.

I should not have reacted the way I did... He was not interested in me. The kiss must have happened as we live in a house and we pretend to be married sometimes.

I started making a batter for the pancakes. And prepared for lunch as my hand was much better.

I had decided one thing that I was going to take up the job. I was still thinking about it when I heard him coming.

" Srusti, we need to talk. " He said.

" There is nothing to talk about. " I said without looking at him. He came and stood in front of me.

" Please, I am sorry, if I hurt you in any way. But I am still not getting what happened. See, there are a lot of things on my mind these days, so I don't know what I said or did in my stress that hurt you. At least talk to me. How would I know what hurt you? "

" Nothing... I got over emotional yesterday, as I saw Gagan. I recalled my life before I ran away from my sister's house. I missed her, my parents and got emotional. I am sorry to bother you so much. " I said and turned away from his eyes as they were trying to read my thoughts.

" Please don't say sorry. And I can feel there is something... Please tell me. " He said turning me to look at him.

" There is nothing, chill !! It was just one of those days... When you are upset without any reason. Just forget what I said. " I said and turned my back towards him.

He came to me and caught my arm to turn me once again to face him and kept holding me.

" I know, you are lying, you are hurt... But I don't know why. "

" No, I am not, Er... I wanted to ask something... "

" Hmm...  ask "  He was looking into my eyes, trying to read my thoughts again.
