Jadugar's Paradise

The Plan

[chapter 17]

gosh, this is getting longer and longer!!! but it'll be worth it.

[AJEY'S POV]:

I love how calmly she managed the pain and sat still the whole time. When I came back to the room she was nowhere to be seen. I looked around the house and found her leaning on the countertop with her eyes closed in the kitchen. She was thinking about something. I quietly walked towards her and stood in front of her. When she opened her eyes she got scared and let out a little squeak. I chuckled and she sighed in relief to see it was me. She then slowly came towards me and hugged me.

did she accept me?

I didn't know how to react so I just patted her back but she didn't want to pull apart. Her hands were tightly wrapped around my waist and her face was buried in my shoulder; she was standing on her tip-toes. After some seconds she started struggling to stand on her tip-toes so I picked her up in my arms and sat her down on the countertop; she still didn't release me.

what has gotten into her?

After some time she slowly backed up, maintaining eye contact with me; she had a serious face.

[Kiara]: Promise me... Promise me you won't leave me.

[Ajey]: I promise.

[Kiara]: Pinky promise?

[Ajey]: Pakka promise.

She then smiled and looked up in the air, swinging her legs.

[Kiara]: Soo.. when are you taking me home?

[Ajey]: Whenever you want.

She came close to me and looked at me in the eyes.

[Kiara]: Abhi chalein? 

she smirked.

How did she become so teasing???

[Ajey]: As you say mahraani jee.

[Kiara]: Oh please! call me Kiara.

[Ajey]: Whatever you say, sweetheart.

[Kiara]: AJEYY!!!

I ran to the bedroom and she chased me. I purposely slowed down to let her catch me but to my shock, she was so dedicated to catch me that she came running and bumped into me, making us both fall on the bed. She was on top of me with her hands on my chest and she looked very embarrassed.

[Kiara]: I'm so- so sorry!

She was about to get up but I held her and made her stay on top of me.

[Ajey]: It's okay but now stay like this...

[Kiara]: Ajey no-

[Ajey]: shh.

[Kiara]: Ajey!!

she released herself and sat on the bed avoiding eye contact with me.

Maybe she isn't comfortable enough

WHY AM I SO STUPID

I sat up on the bed facing her.

[Ajey]: I'm sorry Kiara, I shouldn't have done that.

she stayed quiet and didn't even look at me.

[Ajey]: Idhar to dekh lo, I can't see you like this please Kiara forgive me.

[Kiara]: It's okay Ajey...

[Ajey]: No not like this... look at me.

[Kiara]: Ajey tum bhi na, I said it's okay!  don't worry.
