Hey Sweetheart

Chapter 51

Sameera woke up by the sounds of loud screams and sobs.
Getting out of her room she entered Shrithik's as the sounds were coming from there.

Opening the door to his room, she switched on the lamp. In the dim, soothing yellow light she found out that the room was trashed. Pillows, clothes and book were scattered on the ground and beside the bedside table, he was sitting.

He was sitting there crying with his knees to his chest and his face buried in his hands.
He was shaking violently and sobbing hysterically.

Upon hearing her entering his room, he looked up. But upon seeing her, he again kept his face in his hands and started crying.

Sameera's heart broke when she saw his condition. His face was all wet and eyes were bloodshot. His lips were trembling and hairs were disheveled. There was so much sadness in his eyes that even an ocean could drown in it.

She quickly made her way towards him and crouched down beside him.
She poked him to get him to look at her but he didn't. She did it three or four times but he didn't look up. In the end, she came in front of him, took his face in her hands and forced him to look at her.

Still crying he removed her hands from his face and said in a hoarse voice

"Please, go away."

"No. I can't, old man. Look at me."
She said but he turned his head to the side, still crying.

"Please go away. I've already hurt you enough."

He said and she shook her head. Then somehow making him sit in Indian position, she crawled up on him.

And in an instant, the guy who wanted her away, was clutching onto her as his life depended on him.

The sobs that broke through now, were even more louder.

Sameera, just hugged him. One of her hand was rubbing his back and the other was running through his hair.

"Shhhhhhh. Now tell me what happened."
She asked and he looked up at her. With trembling lips, he uttered

"You'll.......y-you will hate me."

He buried his face in her neck and took her skin in his mouth.
Sameera gasped as his mouth made it's way on her skin. But what surprised her was that, neither he was kissing it nor was he biting it. He just took her skin in his mouth like babies keep their thumb in her mouth.

Along with his wet tongue she could also feel his tears dripping.

"You have to tell me, baby. Why are you crying?"
Words flew out of her mouth, neither of them giving them much attention.

"Nooooo! You will hate me!"
He cried and looked at her with his wide brown, teary eyes.

Sameera couldn't help but sigh. He was not gonna tell her this way.

Then she, in a swift motion stood up to get him some water.

The broken puppy whose name was Shrithik, clutched her hand. She looked back at his baby like expression and before she could say anything he stood on his knees and clutched her waist and started speaking
