CHAPTER 20

Tears rolled down her cheek,
Her Eyes are fixed on the road,
Yet her heart and mind are completely lost.

Shivanya right now is absolutely distressed by How she was just that close to snap back at those people that Ashwin and her were no more than friends. Instead she couldn't find her words and ended up walking out of the place.
That's when Shivanya realised that they could be right, Ashwin was more than a close friend. Not in the way they meant but,

She loved him.

What distraughted her more was how much she would have to suffer if he doesn't feel the same way. She has had enough heartbreaks and separations already.

Her trance was broken by Ashwin's call. A sad smile crept through her lips as she stared at his name, leaning on her seat, until the call ended by itself.
--------------------------------------------------
Ashwin tossed and turned, no matter how tired he was from all the meetings he had on the day. He just couldn't sleep. That bite sized girl's sudden behaviour has caused him to be awake until pass midnight for the past few days. Despite all the medicines he took, nothing seemed to help.

Ashwin had just returned home today from a four-day conference at Coimbatore. He has been trying to meet her ever since that day but she has been avoiding him at all cost. He decided to meet her once he returns but since it got late, he chose to do it the next day.

He was worried dead about her.

Isn't she the one who mostly runs behind him with her never ending banters?

She haven't call him to update about what happened in her favourite rom-com series yet.

Now her suddenly not attending his 79 missed calls, a whole train of texts bothered him a lot. He even checked through their friends but they too couldn't tell why was she doing so. She kept coming up with reasons to avoid him.

Seeing her face low-spirited the other day pricked his heart in a way he never knew. It could only be soothed after he sees and talks to her but even this four hours felt like four years since she is just 20 minutes away.

Unlike Shivanya, Ashwin very well knew the impact his bite sized girl was having on him.

Tormenting and tolerating with her has been new most favourite thing to do. He liked this feel of caring for her and being taken cared by her. She was the only person who could provide him with the comfort that his personal space could give him.

He knows that he loves her.

But he wouldn't take any hasty steps and decided to take it slow.

Ashwin paced around his room like a caged animal with his phone.

Sighing at his 87th call being rejected as well, Ashwin lose his cool. He was immensely irritated by here avoidance as he saw her online through WhatsApp.

Raatchasi!

Scoffing under his breath, Ashwin grabbed his belongings and strode out of his house.
--------------------------------------------------

Coming out of the lift, Ashwin was almost stomping to her house.

His eyes were blood shot, he really couldn't understand what was her problem.
He will make sure to not cross his limits but he was also determined to make her realise the brink of insanity she had pushed him into.

He rang the door bell vigorously distracting Shivanya out from her netflix time. She wondered who could it be at this hour. Shrugging off her thoughts.,she opened the door.
