Bound By Unknown(✔)

LIV. Heart to heart(1)

"Reminiscing the situations when we were happy makes us feel alive and active."
-----------------------------------------------

I willed myself to fall asleep as I was exhausted but my thoughts were not allowing me to do so. I thought that I was going to be okay after everything and I was only sad that Abhi misunderstood the things but it was not the case. When he put the whole thing as a simple issue that we can ignore and move forward after causing disruptions in my life.

Seeing Diya cry has shaken me up and I thought of the possibilities. He approached me yesterday only because of Diya. He came there to take me home for Diya and he heard the truth accidentally. The tone he used as he questioned me about my pregnancy rang in my mind and I moved to the other side trying to find a comfortable position.

"Do you need anything?" I was startled as I heard his voice, I tried to settle down and avoid him.

"I have a question for you. Are you going to answer it?" I asked him as I knew that I was not going to bed anytime soon. At Least I can curb my curiosity with his answer.

There was silence for a moment and I thought that he was not going to answer me and I felt disappointed but I heard his voice. "Yes, I am going to answer it." I opened my mouth to fire the question but he spoke again. "But in return, I get to ask a question from you. Will you accept?" I can sense the smirk that graced his face now. I can hear it in his voice.

I turned my head and buried it in the pillow as I thought about his proposal. The proposal wasn't bad, I can get some answers out of him without giving him any idea that I might consider his forgiveness.

"Deal or no deal?" He asked again and I slowly sat up.

"Fine." I grumbled the answer out so that I don't want to look any more interested than I am now. I adjusted the pillow on my back and sat comfortably. I looked in his direction and found him sitting on the couch. I was unable to see his face because of the darkness and I am going to keep it the same.

"How did you get the thought that I was cheating on you with Daksh?" I heard him inhale because of the stillness that lingered between us. I was careful with the words I chose and from his reaction I got the right words.

"You hit the mark. I always suspected and had my doubts on him. He became close to you, I found it hard to believe that a person can get close to you in a short span of time. The day before my accident, that night I saw his message sent to you." He stopped speaking, I leaned forward a bit curious about this new piece of information. "I just saw the notification on the screen, it read I love you." He stopped speaking, giving me time to process his words.

"You got angry after seeing that message and left the house. You broke the promise because you thought that I was cheating on you. It started then." It was a question, I needed his confirmation for it.

"No, no. You got it all wrong." He spoke in a panicked voice and sat straight. "That night we had dinner and a good time but you kept chatting with someone on the mobile and you tried to hide it from me. I came to our room as you slept, then your mobile pinged and I intended to look at the sender, but then I saw him send you, 'I love you', " He stopped speaking as if remembering it. "Then I was filled with rage that I left the house not wanting to make conclusions and accuse you but I was not able to ask you regarding this." He stopped speaking and sat there.

I was shocked after learning this from him, he saw that message. That message has a different meaning but he misunderstood it and he didn't even think of asking about it before going out of the house in anger. "That message, if you have read it completely you wouldn't misunderstand me." I saw him stiffen and he turned the light on, I ignored him and looked straight ahead ignoring him. "I told him that he is the good friend I had and he replied with I love you to me and mentioned that he is glad to have me as a friend in his life. Now, is there anything to misunderstand?" I questioned him.
