Tanmayi's pov

early morning the next day of our trail room adventure...Chirag called me

"hello..."

"hello tanmayi,"

"tannu..." he kept talking but i did not speak after lifting the phone, i guess i was afraid i will break down and cry....my throat was hurting listening to his voice

"i am going home" he said directly

"no..." my voice broke as i expected and tears fell uncontrollably from my eyes

"don't cry.....i am sorry it is my fault....i knew there is something wrong when we had an emergency like this at the company"

"no..i an-m fine" i replied trying to calm him

"it is not.....i don't know what would have happened if swetha di was not with you-i am going crazy here tannu....seriously i could not even sleep..." chirag is not the type to talk so much, i can guess his state by the way he is panicking right now

"hnn..." this is because of me i wiped my tears and said feeling guilty

"don't say that again...i said i will protect you, don't be afraid anymore baby....eat well..... i will be there soon"

"when are you coming back" i asked

"i have a meeting tomorrow, maybe after that" he replied after thinking

"should i ask my parents for help...i already told everything to swetha....she said she will help"

"i know, anand jiju called me yesterday....he helped me with the work here too-don't tell your parents....their company is not in good state, it will only increase their tensions"

"i won't-don't worry about me....i won't go outside anymore...i will wait for you" i replied bravely

"tannu..."

"okay, complete you work and come home fast" i said and cut the call...i did not want him to feel bad for me....i am afraid i will tell my true thoughts to him actually

i miss him terribly now that he is not near, when i was getting kidnapped and dragged yesterday the only thing i wanted was to see him once.....i thought i could accept whatever cruel fate i had, if only  i could talk to him again... what if i never get to see him again?...what if i never tell him what i feel-these thoughts haunted me and scared me

i realized life is not same for everyone....i cannot take his kindness and stay like a rock all the time, i realized he is different in my heart....different than all those boys i ever dated, different from all those boys i rejected....he has a place in my heart...i don't remember since when

i want to tell him how i feel....but i can't- rithik will take me away and i cannot hold on to chirag forever like this 

i made a decision looking at all the spam texts on my mobile from unknown numbers-i am going to rithiks house....this is for the best.....i am either killing him today or dying in his hands myself

i waited till lunch so that no one would suspect my behavior, i ate lunch with my family...chatted with swetha for some time...we were sitting in the sofa and swetha peeled an orange for me

"you like him, don't you?" she asked in between our conversation, i knew who she is talking about

"yeah, i guess i do" i answered looking in to her eyes...she smiled

"good for you" she replied, happiness clear on her face

a few months ago i would never have thought i would fall for an asshole like him-but i did....i love him desperately so i cannot drag him down any more-our marriage is just a contract-he doesn't have to go through all that just because of our accidental marriage.
