AMNESIA - His Forgotten love

5

                      HER EFFORTS

Karthik's POV

He looked at her pained expression. And just turned his attention towards the window, looking outside, let his thoughts wander around.

'Does she really love me?  Or is she faking it?

'is she with me just because I'm successful in life or something else is the reason?'

'If she is taking it, then it'll be visible in her behaviour, how she is acting it and how much she is gonna fake it I'll see and make sure to get her out of his life soon' he thought to himself.

I felt she sat on side seat and touched my hand to her my attention, I looked at her.

She pouted and said "Atleast try to get to know me, talk to me, look at me"

I replied "no promises"

She narrowed her eyes and murmured "King of rudeness khadoos huh"

He just arched his eyebrows as of asking what she said.

3rd person's POV

She smiled and started to blabber about their memories of past and he although tried to put indifferent look but listened to her every words by heart.

She talked and talked trying to make him remember of their past as much as possible, but all in vain, he just sat with poker face as if he is just tolerating her.

She thought that's enough for today, so she stopped.

And asked him "are you hungry? I cooked for you today, have some baby"

He looked at the food packed she brought with herself and looked away saying "stop calling me baby, it's weird"

"how is it weird? I love you, and me calling you baby is a kind of my admiration for you, endearance to you, and that's a cute way to claim your loved one in front of world, don't you think?" she replied while taking out his food she cooked lovingly for him.

Somehow he felt overwhelmed by her words for him, he felt his heart skipped a beat, he felt loved.

Suddenly he felt he was not lonely when she is here with him.

He looked at her who was busy in putting his food in plate.

He thought unknowingly 'She has beautifull eyes, it shines every single time she looks at him, cute button nose, and soft looking pink lips with which she kissed his cheek the other day. She is beautiful and cute too, but just talks too much'.

"Here, eat. And yup don't forget to complement me I'm all ears" ecxitedly she said while putting the plate in front of him.

At the same time Jack walked in the room disturbing the time of lovebirds.

By looking at the food, he started at Arohi making innocent faces and said "you are so talented Arohi, it looks good"

To which Karthik felt annoyed and kept his silence. But Arohi genuinely smiled and offered him food which he accepted.

Karthik tasted the food thought 'oh, it's so delicious, she can cook, I thought she was just faking it to impress him, but it's really so delicious, her hands did magic in her food'

He stopped listening to jack " Arohi, it's so delicious, you are so lucky sir, she cooks this much delicious food. Well Arohi, if this arrogant man here gives you though time, then leave him and just marry me instead" Jack joked and Arohi giggled cutely at his words.

Karthik just glared at him saying "shut up before i throw you both out of here"

To which both just pouted and ignored him, continued to goof around karthik & annoyed him till the point he literally losted it and called for nurse to throw both idiots out.

Arohi and Jack glared at him and went out dramatically making funny faces at him.

(at night)

Finally he was at peace. But his heart wasn't.

He remebered back when Jack just joked for Arohi to leave him and marry jack, 'he felt his heart ached'.

He didn't liked the idea of her being with someone else instead of him. But he tried to ignore that and focused on sleeping.

But he suddenly opened his eyes again because after closing his eyes her visuals started to play in the background of his memories.

He let out a sigh thinking 'wow, she has already started invading my thoughts. Great, just great.'

'Just what I needed' he thought sarcastically.
