MY HEART CHOSE YOU ✅ (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 56

ADITI POV

"What is happening?" I murmur sadly.

"I don't know, Bhai is not talking and Paakhi is not here," Shaurya lets out hugging me. After Arhaan left with a bang, Maanu took off after him and Sana departed to her room.

So Shaurya and I scrambled off to the balcony to take some fresh air.

"Is it because of us?" I ask suddenly.

"Us? Why?" He asks confuse.

"Not you and me, I'm saying Maanu and Me. Because she always makes stupid decisions when it is about us." I admit. Paakhi has this tendency to shut off her senses when it involves me or Maanu.

"We don't know, only bhai or Paakhi can tell us." He again mumbles. Nuzzling his nose in the crook of my neck.

"I don't feel good," I say feeling queasy.

Instantly his head bobs up and he tugs me towards the washroom.

Just as he opens the washroom door, my stomach churns, and everything comes up.
I rush towards the toilet bowl and minutes later retching sound his herd.

When I feel better, I flush and look around to see myself alone in the washroom. Did I expect him to stay and hold me? When I'm puking? Yes, I did.

Seeing he left, tears pool up in my eyes. I knew it was too much for him.

"Hey? Does it hurt?" I feel someone snuggling me.

I glance up to see Shaurya crouching beside me, his one arm is around me and in the other, he has a bottle of water.

"I went to get you water," he explains.

"I thought you left..." I murmur, tears falling uncontrollably.

"I will never leave you or this child. You both are my responsibility." He confesses placing a peck on my sweat-drenched forehead. I lean into his embrace.

"Umm...as much as I like this position, I can't handle the smell here. So what say, We go to your room?" His voice comes out unsure.

I let out a laugh and nod my head.

"Good," he murmurs and seconds later I'm in his arms, nearing my room door.

"I can walk you know," I assert feeling vulnerable and I don't like feeling this way.

"I know, but I want to do this." He says gently placing me on my bed.

"I'm sorry for behaving that way in the washroom, " I say feeling that I should explain that I'm not needy.

"I hope you always behave like that then," he announces, fetching me a glass of water.

"I like it when you behave like that, it shows me your real self." He explains when he sees the confusion on my face.

"I'm always real," I assert adamantly.

"Maybe, but most of the time it seems as if you are wearing this shield which keeps you protected from this world. But when I see you without your armor, I feel more connected to you." He confides in and gets in bed with me.

I don't know what is happening, my heart feels spurs of desire, I have always been wearing this shield and at some point, believed that this is who I'm. But for the first time, I feel unarmed in front of this man. The surprising part is, I'm not scared.

"I love you..." Words tumble out of my mouth.

When I see his eyes widen, My senses come back.
