Brewing the essence of love

Chapter 39

Koyal's POV

"Koyal I now need you to be very honest with me. Okay. Hmm?" He said to me in a clam yet a little cold tone. "Okay...but what are you talking about? What isn't okay Vardhaan?" I asked him. He looked straight in my eyes and was about to speak but I was unable to look at him directly in his eyes. First I was feeling guilty about running his chance to be with a woman who would live him, just like the one he deserves. Second because I feel bad for not ever reciprocating to his efforts for the past three and half years. And thirdly his intense gaze was making me nervous. So I lowered my eyes and head.

He gently pulled my face up and made me look into his eyes once again. "Look at me Koyal when we speak. Okay?" He said I just nodded. "Va..Var..Vardhaan" I fumbled. "Yes Koyal," He said in an assertive voice. "Vardhann you...you said, something isn't right? What is wrong Vardhaan? Tell me." I said in a way of requesting.

"Everything Koyal, everything between us is wrong isn't?" He said shocking me. "Wha..what do you mean?" I managed to ask. "Really, you tell me what it means Koyal, when I came home my wife had cried herself to sleep. What does it mean that my cries almost every day and pretend as if she hasn't? Tell me." He said looking into my eyes as if trying to peep inside me. I was shocked to find that he knew I cried myself to sleep today and that I cry almost every day. What do I tell him now?

"Va..Var..Vardhaan th..that aaa" I fumbled. "Yes tell me Koyal, tell me Koyal I am all ears. You had asked me why I came so early right, it was because I wanted to talk to you. So now we have all the time so tell me." He said again. I was in short of words.

"Vardhaan its ju... just that I have a have a really.... bad bad headache yeah headache since few days and the pai..pain is sometimes sometimes it gets really bad and that's that's why I cry...yeah that's the matter." I said him, and its not all lies I do have this really long lasting bad headache.

As soon as I said this his expression changed from a stern one to a worried one. "Though I know this is not the matter but in front of your health it is not important. Now if it is that bad why did you not take any pain killer? You must know right? Anyways leave it I will take you to a nice doctor right this instant." He said, and his voice decibel was not high previously as well but right now it was too soft and low.

"Va..Vardhaa" I tried to speak when he interrupted me "Koyal everything is secondary in front of this ok. Though I am not a doctor but I do know having headaches on a daily basis is not good. You should have visited one till now. Anyways leave it. Tell me Koyal to which specialist should we visit? I am sorry I am not very well informed on this matter. You are okay now right? Are you still in pain?" He spoke very slowly. His voice was soft soothing and worry was dripping from his voice. He looked so worried in a couple of seconds.

"What did you tell him Koyal? You know your headache is all due to crying too much and it is not serious. Look how worried is the poor guy. You defiantly don't deserve such a wonder full man. Selfish woman." My own self reprimanded me. My eyes filled with water again.

"Hey is the pain back? Lie down Koyal. I will call my friend. He is a doctor as well okay. This headache won't trouble you much now okay. Wait I will bring some water." He spoke worried after seeing me. Andd that was it I brust into tears. I got up from my place went near him and hugged him. Tightly I might add and cried silently for some minutes. And it did feel so good and comforting. I could be in these arms all day.

Vardhaan's POV

I was very adamant about making Koyal speak all her heart out today but then she said about her headache. I know she said that just to divert me from the main topic but I couldn't help but worry. Plus her voice had some truthfulness when she told about it and I had also seen some headache meads on her side of the side table.
