Illicit Desire (Completed)

Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Jiya left for the airport with Vikrant in the morning, despite his refusal. As he went inside, she hugged him tightly and started crying.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, he started teasing her.

"Even those women whose husbands go to the border to fight for the country do not cry as much as you are crying."

"I'm crying, and you're teasing me. I think you should go now. I don't want to talk to you."

"Oh dear! Don't be angry; I was just teasing you. Take care of yourself and  children. After reaching there, I will call you."

Jiya dropped Vikrant at the airport, came home, and slept.

Jiya and Anu were both ignoring Rahul, but for different reasons. Jiya had a valid reason to ignore him, but Rahul couldn't understand why Anu was ignoring him. When he went to Anu's room in the evening, she was talking to someone on the phone. As soon as she saw him, she hung up the phone.

"Who were you talking to?"

"I was talking to my friend."

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"It's none of your business. Don't poke your nose into my personal matters." She replied angrily. 

"Everything related to you matters to me, as my uncle has entrusted me with your responsibility."

"Dad has given you the responsibility of being my bodyguard, only to go to the club at night. Now you go; I have to study."

"A few days ago, you were hovering around me like a fly, and today you are asking to go out of your room."

"Hmmm, I was wrong. Now I want to correct this error. Thanks for reminding me how wrong I was."

Seeing Anu's behavior, Rahul got upset.!

"Oh! Anu, what have I done that you have become so angry with me?"

"You didn't do anything. I just don't want to talk to you."

"Anu, I can't see you angry. I will not move from here until you tell me the reason for your resentment."

"I already told you, 'I'm not mad at you. Why don't you understand?"

Rahul was in no mood to listen. In anger, Anu uttered the words that had been buried in her heart since childhood.

"I have loved you since childhood, and you think of me only as your friend. I know you'll never love me. So it's better than being sad thinking about you; I want to focus on my studies. I have my own life, Rahul, and I can't waste it thinking about someone who doesn't love me."

Rahul was taken aback by this. He never thought of this, even in his wildest dreams. He is not the kind of person who can love someone. 

"You took the right decision. I'm not worthy of you. You are a pure soul, and I can't even call myself good."

"If you're finished, you can go now."

Rahul went to his room. He was talking to himself.

"Anu, you are such a good girl who deserves a better person than a bad boy like me."

Jiya was having a conversation with Mayank and Anu in their room. She was happy with Anu's decision about Rahul.
After some time, when she came out of Anu's room, she bumped into Rahul. With a slight touch, the blood rushed into his body.

"Did you accidentally bump into me, or was it done intentionally to provoke me?" Rahul asked.

"I don't have time to answer your nonsense questions."
