Dheere Se Kho Gaye!

[23]

Shrinkhal's POV

As soon as Guru told me Ishi is back, I didn't stop for a second and came back home. I was out for some important work to finish. After reaching home the first thing, I did was to go inside straight to meet my baby.

There she was sleeping peacefully on our bed. This damn bed has held too many memories of us and I wish her to always be in my favourite place. I thanked God for letting me near her after such a long period of time.

I didn't feel like calling her as I wanted her to take as much time as she wants although it was killing me each day. I used to ask Guru about Ishi every day if she was doing okay. If she cried again?

With her every tear falling, I have felt my soul leaving my body and crushing my heart under its feet. I would never want her to cry because of me.

I scooped her face in my hands and felt alive again. Oh God! Only I know how much precious she is to me. I whispered to her telling her how much I missed her. And she told me she missed me too and I could feel it when she gripped my neck and pulled me closer for a warm kiss.

I kissed her and all I wanted was to feel her warm skin against my cold dead heart and right in that moment I removed my tee-shirt and planked over her. Her eyes widened and before she said anything, someone screamed.

I turned to look back and it was Alia peeking beneath the covers and I screamed at the same pitch. Ishi pushed me aside and sat back while laughing at us. Alia shut her eyes tight as I put on my tee shirt back. Guru came running into the room.

"What happened? What happened? Kya Hui?"

"Tumhara Bhai nangi Hui aur Alia ne dekh li," Ishi laughed badly at mine and Alia's faded faces.

Guru stood in front of me with fists joined on his hips, "Dekho bhaiya apki toh biwi hai, hai na? Bandi hai na apki? Toh dusre ke jab banane ke chances hon toh usse kharab nahi karte aisi harkatein karke."

I held Guru by his neck and squeezed a little before realizing I was supposed to apologize to Alia. I let him go and turned toward Alia while nodding at Ishi.

"Hi, aloo! I am happy to meet you but I am sorry too if I made you uncomfortable. Honestly, I didn't know you were with Ishi otherwise, I'd not have done the little stunt... I just did," I slightly smiled at her and stepped next to Ishi.

She felt fine after forgiving me as she gave me a big smile and began talking. I swear, she's just like Ishi. A chatterbox.
I didn't get to talk to Ishi as Alia was with her the whole next day too and with Alia was my stupid brother, trying to impress this poor girl.

I was genuinely happy to see my baby but I wanted to talk to her alone and apologize to her too, make things alright between us. I can't let new misunderstandings cook along. After dinner, I took Ishi to the terrace we sat in her favorite place where she would sip tea and read a book, her swing the chair.

I made Ishi sit on my lap as she leaned again my rock chest and I crossed my arms around her waist. We quietly looked at the stars and moon while I was enjoying my view too.

Ah! she's so beautiful.

I pulled the courage, "Babe, I know things were very tough for us for almost a year now but I just want you to know that I am sorry for treating you like this. I uh I."

And yes I had tears in my eyes and my voice choked, not letting me express myself. Again. She got worried when she felt a tear droplet on her shoulder. She immediately turned to look at me as she holds my face with both her hands. Her soft eyes with worrying curled brows looked into mine.

"What happened, Sinku? Please don't hide from me. I am all yours and you're all mine please tell me. I am not going anywhere. Please darling tell me!"

She was silently listening to me as I told her from the beginning what had happened and why I was acting this way. How Ankita happened and what she has done before. I was in my most vulnerable state and I have never been this like before with anyone, not even my brother or my parents.

I cried my heart out I don't know what had gotten into me but I couldn't stop crying. I was not even being able to look into her eyes and all I wanted to do was get away from her so that I don't have to dare to face her, ever.

She hugged me tightly trying to calm me down. I drenched her with my tears as she tried to tame a hurricane I had within. After a while, I was calm but anxious too as I don't know what will be the next words she'll be saying to me. I was half hoping she'll forgive me and return to me with my love or maybe she'll just break things off and leave me.

I had a million thoughts racing in my mind and I couldn't understand why she wasn't saying anything. I need to what she's happening inside her mind and what her heart wants.

What should I do now?
