My Heart Snatcher 💖

Chapter- 39

Avni was shocked. What happened today, she still wasn't able to digest it. Never in her dreams, she could imagine that Vikrant would help her . Where she was cursing him and blaming him that because of him she got stuck in that situation, where everyone will make fun of her, he went out of the way and saved her from embarrassment. Not only that he even ate the Halwa made by her without any complaints.

The happiness on his, face while eating it.... She was unable to understand, how he was even swallowing it down the throat.

Why??? This question was suffocating her. It was a great chance for him to tease her and make fun of her but instead of making her feel embarrassed, he made her feel something else ... She felt cared for and protected and this feeling was bothering her.

After her family, this was the first time in her life, she felt like that with someone and that someone was Vikrant. How can this even be possible? She was clueless.

It was almost ten. Vikrant had already left for his room long ago but Avni was hesitating to go inside the room. She was standing outside the room. Her mind was clouded with questions and doubts.. She wanted to know why he did that? The things which were going between them what was that? Their relation which was nothing but a forced one, seemed nothing like that when he addressed her as his wife. She wanted to ask him all these questions but she was also afraid to face him. She had no idea why these days she feels this way. She was afraid of his deep gaze that holds something so intense that everytime when she found herself under his gaze, her mind stopped working. She gets lost in his eyes and it becomes unable for her to think of anything else, let alone ask questions.

Her heart was beating fast when with great courage she finally opened the door. Catching her breath she slowly looked inside to see what he was doing. Usually he worked on his laptop at this time but to her surprise, today he was not. Her eyes made their way to bed where he was laying with his eyes closed and resting his one hand on his  forehead. This was not normal. Seeing this Avni got worried. After living in this house for such a long time she knew his lifestyle. He was a workaholic and never sleeps this early. This was not a good sign. She forgot all that she was thinking earlier and immediately went close to him. She stood worriedly and looked at him keenly.

"Wh... Why he is sleeping at this time?
Is he alright? God.... Is something happened to him because he ate my Halwa.... No... Please.... This can't happen..." She mumbled getting worried for him.

As the time was passing her heart started sinking down with anticipation. Drops of sweat started shining on her forehead.

"How  stupid of me....I shouldn't have let him eat that....if something happened to him what will I do....God....why am I so stupid?....." She started blaming herself and decided to check him.

She bent down over him and while gulping in fear  and placed her shaking hands on his hand to check his pulse. She gripped his wrist around and with thumb started finding his pulse.

Her soft hair was resting on his face causing a ticklish sensation, her sweet intoxicated fragrance and her warm touch, his breath hitched as he felt her presence so close to himself, out of the blue he gripped her hand back and pulled her in such a motion that she landed on his chest.

"Aahhh....." She gasped unexpectedly and closed her eyes in apprehension.

He placed his one arm around her waist and while holding her hand in a swift motion turned her around on the bed. He was hovering her while she was under him. She was breathing heavily due to this sudden action. As she got hold of herself she opened her eyes just to find him on top of her. Seeing him this close she looked at him with disbelief.

"What do you think you were doing Angel?" Suddenly  he asked while breathing heavily and staring at her cute face.

Avni was flabbergasted. Looking at their position she got frozen. His face was just inches away from her, giving her access to see him closely but what caught her attention was his disheveled curl, which was swinging  on his forehead. She didn't know why but she found it pretty. Unknowingly an urge to touch it emerged in her heart. Her trance broke when she felt he removed his hand from her back.
