Hey !! Its Cupid Calling (Completed) 18+

Chapter 26

Ira POV

I woke up to the semi dark room with only a bed light illuminating the space. My whole body felt sore and my mouth felt dry. I turned to my side to find my phone, so that I could look at the time. My phone was placed on the side table, along with a jug of water and a glass.

I looked at the time and realised I must have been asleep for 2 hours. I poured myself a glass of water and drank it. I heard slow voices coming from outside, my leg still hurt but not so much as it did before. The sprain bandage tied to me gave me enough support to walk with support.

I held the wall for support and slowly walked out of the room. Their voices sounded closer, I estimated that may be they were in upstairs movie room area.

Naina: I still cannot believe Ira is hurt. You should have let me know sooner about her injury. I would have come sooner.

Arjun: Naina, you were at work. I handled it, Sreekar and Shika were of huge help too, so dont worry.

I walked into the room, both the siblings spotted me at the same time

Me: Hello 

Naina: Oh my god Ira, Arjun told me about how you fell. Are you okay ?

Me: I am fine now 

Arjun: You should not be putting a lot of pressure on your leg, Ira 

Naina: Yes, you gotta sit down 

Before I took a step, Arjun came in front of me. He picked me up in his arms and put me on the couch while I looked at him shocked. What happened to this guy ?

Arjun: We had lunch but she did not have much as madam was much more interested in playing around with kids. I will get her something to eat as she needs to take her pain killer. 

He walked away while Naina sat beside me, chatting. Arjun bought me a rice bowl with medicines and I ate it, contributing very less to the conversation. The kids came back from their music class and were happy to see me up.

Finally at around 6:30 pm I decided to go back home as it was getting late. The kids hugged me a second longer. Sreeker and Shika both gave me extra kisses and hugs for which I was extremely grateful for. 

Once we were back in our car, that was when I have decided to address the elephant in the car.

Me: Arjun, what was that today ?

Arjun: What was what Ira ?

Me: You know what exactly I am talking about

Arjun: Enlighten me on what are you talking about

I gritted my teeth in annoyance. This is what annoys me to the core when people act like nothing happened when they did something which bothers us or hurts us. They act as if we are over reacting while they were just joking around or did not mean it in that way.

Me: Stop the car Arjun

Arjun: Ira, the car will stop when we reach 

Me: I SAID STOP THE DAMN CAR ARJUN

Arjun: NO WAY

Me: Arjun I swear I will jump out of this car right now

I tried to open the lock and tried to scare him into stopping the car

Arjun: IRA, are you stupid or what ? 

Me: I swear Arjun, stop the car or I will jump out 

Seeing the determination and a hint of madness on my face he halted the car near a society park and I got down

Arjun: Ira, where are you going ?

Me: I dont want to see you or talk to you

Arjun: Why is that ?

Me: Because you are a coward 

Arjun: No I am not

Me: Yes you are. First you act all weird in the morning then when I am hurt you got worried for me which was fine but then did you forget you actually kissed me today in front of kids or did you wish I would conviniently forget that when I woke up from my nap? Why did you behave that way Arjun?

Arjun stood there like a rock without speaking anything 

Me: Fine, if you dont want to speak and tell me your reasons, then I am done talking with you. Its over between us. Our friendship is done because one thing I hate is when people mess up and rather than acknowledging the emotions they actually act like nothing happened or make us believe we are over reacting. I hate those breed of people, now that I am confronting you, you have nothing to say ? Tell me something Arjun, did you think so low of me that you thought you could kiss and I will not object that ? Did you percieve me to be that low of a character ?

Me: Good bye Arjun, never talk to me again

All I met with was silence. I wiped off the sweat off my forehead and tried walking off but I had to make slow moments. As I was walking away I felt Arjun holding my hand

Arjun: Dont go 

Me: I dont think you are in a position to pass on orders Arjun

Arjun: Please dont go 

I turned towards him and looked right into his eyes

Me: Are you atleast going to acknowledge that you messed up ? 

Arjun: No 

I gave a frustated sigh and was walking away when he pulled me to himself 

Arjun: I did not mess up and I am not going to apolozise for what I did because I dont think I did anything wrong 

I pushed him away with my fists to walk away but he locked me in his arms

Arjun: I dont regret any of it because I love you damn it 

I looked at him shocked at the revelation and I stared with my mouth open. He slowly closed my mouth with amused smile and rested his forehead to mine

Arjun: I was fighting with my feelings for a long time Ira. I used to adore you, I used to love spending time with you but the next minute I used to think love is too complicated as my parents and my sister did it but they ended up breaking their heart. I tried to fight it so bad, I used to be a jerk to you too. 

But, when I saw you being indifferent to me that is when I realised you are the reason my day gets exciting. And, get this in your thick skull that I would never disrespect you or look down at you. When you got injured I was seriously worried, that second I did not see the boundaries or what if's I just saw you as a women I love and I expressed the emotions I felt. The reason I tried to avoid that topic was because I felt like I made you uncomfortable and did not know how to explain. 

I love you Ira 

I love you 

Little tears crept from my eyes and he gently smiled at me, kissing the tears away on my cheek. He carressed my face with his fingers and kissed me on my forehead. He hugged me to himself and ran his fingers in my wavy hair. 

For a minute I embraced the rush of feelings. The possesive hold of his arms, the rhythemic beat of his heart, the whiff of his spicey cologne and the butterflies in the stomach. I enjoyed the moment until the flashes of my ugly past came into my vision, dark splothes made their way into my vision. The trauma of the memories rattled my breathe and before I said a word to Arjun I choked on my words and then darkness sorrounded me
