GILDED LOVE IN THE SHADOWS

CHAPTER 8

So you finally made it to Madras how do you feel it's been a few weeks right have you settled in how are things going on, I ask her because I don't know what else to ask

I have made few friends best part is I can choose my classes and I decided to have my weekends off,what do you think, since you had told me that you had been to Madras why don't we roam around explore the city what do you think, she explains with excitement

That's great and I am glad to hear that you settled in,oh a few letters had come in the morning while you left for classes, I hand her the letters

I haven't been around much but I can and will always be of your service, I tell and when I about to leave to set the table for dinner she holds my shirt and tugs it

I turn to see her opening the letters and starts reading It

Kartik wrote us a letter he said he finally confessed his mistakes and they didn't accept them at first but since Kartik father was sentimental when it came to babies he accepted her itseems,she smiles

Isn't it wonderful news!!!!!,she sees me and beams and God I am a goner
So I without a second thought hug her and pat her back I just sink into her and I am surprised when she hugs me back but she doesn't do it with a hug she drowns in my hug and that was when I realise something

I pull us apart even though not wanting to but had to and tell her with an awkward face

I am so sorry,I feign innocence and tell "it's just that I felt relived for you and hugged you really sorry let's go and have dinner shall we"

Both us eat in silence and the next few weeks go by in awkward hellos and goodbyes before she leaves for college and sometimes with smile

Then one day when she seems like she is bit free she comes over to me, the backside by the lake is my favorite place so I see her from afar she walks with small steps sometimes hops and when she sees me she smiles with her eyes

So I was wondering if you could take me around as promised remember you told me you will take me anywhere, she questions

Yes princess where do you want to go - Night Markets, Art Gallery, Paint Supplies Stores or Shopping, I ask her in return

None take me to the beach I never got to see the beach back home, she gleams

The following day I take her to the beach as requested and my oh my she becomes a child with face and hands full of sand as she goes in and out of the beach

I ensure not to get in but she drags me thank the heavens I wore shorts and shirt or else things would have been wet down there

We both play eat and get back home late at the night, she goes immediately to wash herself

I freshen up too and make some food so that we can eat and sleep but she comes from behind and pokes my shoulder I turn and it makes things worse

We are so close that I could literally smell her, sweet like a candy her wet hair all over her body embracing her backside completely, she stares at me sweetly and God I feel that feeling all over again, I groan internally

What is it princess I am making your favorite snacks why dont you sit and wait for me won't you, I ask her to avoid the awkwardness

I wanted to ask something I know it's wrong to ask still can I, she doesn't maintain eye contact again

I realise it's something to do with each other so I hold her and make her sit first and turn to put the snacks in a box and return to her with a glass of water

You and I aren't in your house anymore where you have to be afraid that you are spotted chatting with a servant for too long, it's only us so feel free to ask I can answer if I know, I tell her

She blushes again, God why does she do that its making me feel things which can turn out completely wrong

You know when I asked you about something right before Kartik came in, she tells it way too slowly

Ah yes I remember what about it, I ignore the growing tension and ask

Can you tell me more about it, she asks innocently

Well I am doomed this time I am going to show her straight up what is it and not delay any further

Because the further I delay the more this insane nagging curiosity wont stop, I need to save myself from this chaos of thoughts
