1946: Ek prem katha♡

Chapter 10 : Is this love? ♡

Edwards POV;

I have decided to return to my house after the beautiful tour with Manjari. 
Ah!! Her name sounds so sweet like her, I wish i could spend the whole day with her, but it's okay I got to spend enough time with her, and express myself to her.

I come out of my thoughts when i saw that i reached my home and as I entered the house i saw my dad sitting on a chair right before the door as if he was waiting for me.

He was glaring at me. I just looked down and made my way straight to the room.

"Edward" my father calls me with a cold voice.

I stop where i am and take a deep breath. I slowly turn my head towards him and say "Yes Father?"

He glares at me again and squints his eyes slightly. He asks "Where were you,this morning my son"?

My face was covered in sweat, I don't know why he was asking, did he know where i went ? Did he see manjari? What if he hurts her because of me?, I shouldn't have took her, what if I don't get to meet her again??

My thoughts get abruptly stopped when I hear my father scream "Answer me Ed!!!"

I flinched at his tone and I opened my mouth to say but got interruped by Yadav "Saab, he was exploring calcutta, he asked me to take him, so I took him.

My father with a suspicious tone asks "Really?".

"Yes Saab trust me, I was with him, I just parked the car outside" Yadav quickly answers my father's question without stuttering. My father just stares at yadav and me for sometime and nods his head slowly.

I quickly wipe sweat from my face and sigh in relief. I nod my head to yadav as thanks he returns it back. I quickly go to my room before my father ask me more questions.

When I reach my room I just lay on my bed and take out something from my pocket, her 'EARRING'. I look at it with so much love and I glance at the hat she has given to me I take it in my hand and I lay on my back.

I chuckle to myself as I realize that I kept staring at the earring, I frown and then smile when I ask myself "Am i in love?"

Manjari's POV;

It was really the best evening I ever had in my life. His eyes, His smile , God!!, I can't forget his face.

My thoughts were abruptly stopped when I felt a hand pulling me with strong force. I realized that it was gauri!
She pulled me inside the house and slammed the door loudly and she was glaring at me.

She shouted "Kaha thi tu? , maine bola tha na kisi angerez ke pass mat ja, tujhe bataya tha na maine ke tere jaan ko kitna khatra hosakti hain, Tu unke baare main jaanne ke baad bhi kaise jaa sakti??"

{Where were you? I told you not to go to those britishers right? Did I not tell you that it could be a danger to you? Even after knowing everything how can u go?}

I flinched at the anger in her voice, I don't know but i felt my cheeks getting wet, and i realized i was crying.

Her expression changed when she saw me crying. She realized that she was harsh on me. She immediately comes over to me and hugs me tightly.

After sometime i can hear her sniffles too, I guess she is also crying. "Sorry Manju maine jaan boocke tujhe nahi daanta tha ,maaf karde mujhe, mujhe bas tujhe un logon se door rakhna tha, main bohot dar gayi thi, agar kuch galat hogaya to?"
