Happy Reading!

Manik's POV:

She broke the hug after a few minutes.

"Umm... I think you should leave. I'll call you later, Manik." She spoke with no emotion in her voice after turning around, facing her back to me.

What the fuck?

I came in front of her.

"No offence, baby. But honestly, are you fucking crazy?" I asked her, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration.

She was driving me crazy.

A few minutes back she was a crying mess and now she's behaving as nothing happened at all.

Seriously?

"Yes, I am," She yelled, taking me by surprise and wiped the tears that escaped down her cheeks.

"What is going on? Talk to me," I asked in a soft voice, moving close to her and she shook her head.

"I don't know, Manik. I'm fucking lost." She again broke down in front of me and I pulled her closer to my chest, hugging her tightly.

Why she's behaving like this?

"I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. Fuck!" She took few steps back from me and let out a huge sigh, placing her hands on her hips.

"Umm... So is that a yes? You want me to leave?" I asked in an unsure voice as I have no fucking idea what to do. I don’t want to leave. I’m certain that something is bothering her, so how could I leave her like that?

"No," She mumbled silently, staring into my eyes. After taking a deep breath, she continued, “I heard your and Cabir's conversation today," She whispered while I stood there gazing at her in complete confusion.

"I know you're are hiding something from me, Manik." She blurted out, taking me off guard.

"What?" I rushed to her in utter shock and she told me everything about what happened on the call while I nodded my head in disbelief.

Seriously? For this, she cried so much?

Dumbass Cabir, surely I'm gonna kill him!

Asshole!

"I trust you, Manik." She whispered after cupping my face in her palm and my eyes softened on her innocence.

"Yeah, that's why you cried?" I asked raising my eyebrows at her.

"I just don't trust my destiny." She mumbled, not meeting her gaze to me.

May be, Guilty for crying and doubting me?

Sometimes, she looks so innocent that I can't even get angry at her. I know for her it's so difficult to trust someone, but she trusts me. At least she doesn't hide her tears from me. And I'm glad to know this. My baby.

"Let's go," I said taking her hand in my hand.

"Where?" She asked, confused.

"You trust me, right?" I asked and she nodded immediately, wiping her tears.

Kiddo!

I picked her into my arms in a bridal style, gazing into her hazel eyes.

Making her sit in the backseat I asked the driver to take us where I prepared her surprise.
