Bound By Unknown(✔)

LIV. Heart to heart(2)

"Make others beg for the forgiveness until they earn it."
----------------------------------------
I didn't know that I could have fun while having breakfast. It has been a long time since I enjoyed having a  meal. After Abhi got the breakfast for me, we three enjoyed the food like a family. It has been a long time since we had a meal together. They didn’t allow me to have a small meal, so the father and daughter duo took it upon themselves and filled my plate with all the items. They made me eat double the amount of food I used to have. They kept on saying that I need to eat more for the baby and persuaded me into it. 

Now I am lying on the bed trying to take a nap and they both convinced me saying that it is good for the baby. I rolled over as I tried to take a nap, I was really tired but how can a person sleep when they have pressing matters to think of. 

Now, I have to speak to two people. The first one is Daksh. I need to talk to him and make it clear that I don't have any feelings for him. I need to know if he has any feelings for me, if he has any romantic interest towards me I am not going to see him again but if it is the opposite case then we both can be friends. I really wanted the second thing to happen to him because he is a good friend and it would be sad to lose a person like him. I think the conversation with him is going to be easy and straight. 

The next person I have on my list is Aarav. I decided to tell him the truth and it's up to him with what he wants to do. I think I have Abhi with me on this one, but I am going to ask Abhi first regarding this one. I don't want to make a mess again and Aarav is his family as well, so knowing his thoughts might help me. 

Those two conversations I can manage but it is not bothering me. The thing which is bothering is the date. Yep, I am his wife and yet going on a date with him is the thing which is making me restless. 

It may seem odd to others, but I have my own fears. On our first date, he took me to a beach and I fell for him then. I am afraid that on this date I am going to forgive him. I really want that to happen but not this soon, I don't want to forgive him and give him a chance that he might misuse again. I am terrified of that possibility. I don't want to look weak and give in easily. I am terrified of that possibility. 

I abruptly sat up as I remembered it. "Oh, Avni. How can you be so dumb?" I slapped my forehead at my ignorance. 

I took a peek out of the door and observed the coast. Thank god! My bodyguards left me. I sneaked out and closed the door behind me. I walked to the bedroom on the other side of the floor and knocked on it. 

"Open up." I yelled. When there was no reply, I knocked again. I twisted the door knob when I didn't hear any voice from the other side. The door slid open and I searched the room frantically for her. I went inside and searched the closet and the bathroom. There were no signs of her. "She must be in the kitchen or in the garden. I will check the kitchen first." I spoke to myself and went downstairs. 

While climbing down I was cautious of my steps. I didn't want to risk any accident. I went to the kitchen and found the staff working on lunch. There was no sign of her, she might be in the garden then. I started going to the garden but voices from the dining room caught my attention. I slowly walked inside and found her there. But she was not alone there, she had some company with her.

I tried to sneak out without getting noticed but they caught me. “Avni, come here.” Meera ma ordered me, her face was blank like her son. I slowly walked in their direction. I looked behind me and found Swapna aunty giving me a sheepish smile. From her expression I think everyone knows about my pregnancy now. I looked on the other side and found Akky glaring at me. 

“Come, Avni. Sit here.” Swapna aunty motioned towards the chair between her and Meera ma. 

“Yes, come on. We have a lot of things to discuss.” I swallowed after listening to Akky’s words. They are going to kill me for sure. I walked towards the chair and sat down. I waited for them to speak, but they just kept looking at me without opening their mouths.
