ENAMOUR LOVE

Chapter 29.

AABAN.

"I was scared Aaban I was so scared thinking of losing you, thinking of not meeting you again and the way you neglected me crushed my soul. I trust you blindly and I can't live without you but I thought I was the only one. I thought only I wanted this."

She started crying and it crushed me completely. I loosened my grip on her hands and pulled her in my embrace. She held me tighter wrapping her hands around my torso.

I know what I did might've gone overboard but I guess she needed something to let out her emotions completely. If she would've been angry at me she wouldn't be hugging me so tighter fearing that I will vanish if she leaves me.

The things I thought about her family were all an illusion. They aren't treating my Amyrah well. They aren't treating her the way she deserves. I shouldn't have scared her to this extent.

I just wanted to surprise her, see her astonished face. Tease her a little and hug her for the days we didn't meet. I wasn't at peace either these past few days. It felt like every problem came at the same time.

One of Baba's trustworthy men stole the hefty amount from the company and baba was in a lot of stress. We did eventually find him and the things got better but telling Ammi about taking my proposal was even more difficult.

She wanted me to focus on myself and gave a long 28 hour lecture on how to become a man to be able to take responsibility. Then after blackmailing her by not eating for a whole day and telling her how mature I really am she thought of thinking about it.

In all of it I did injustice to Amyrah. I never thought my playfulness would bring havoc in her mind. I should be careful from now on. She is so sensitive and needs my entire attention. Listening to everything she said a while ago I think I have to even make sure that I reassure her every other day and tell her she isn't alone.

She is in a desperate need of attention and love and only I can provide her both. But the condition Ammi kept before coming here is making it difficult for me. She doesn't want me to marry before getting my degree and for it I have 5 more months left.

I can't wait more. I don't want to meet her like thieves. I want her fully and completely without any disturbance and distractions.

"Amyrah, please rona band karo (stop crying). You know how much it hurts me to see you in this state."  I whispered near her ear while caressing her back trying hard to calm her down.

"Aap bahot gande hai." (You are so bad). Her voice came muffled and it made me smile.

"Haan pata hai jaani." (Yes love I know).

She got more comfortable on my chest resting her cheek and tightening her hold on my torso. "Iss tarah kia koi gande admi ko gale lagta hein?" (Is this how you hug a bad guy?). I heard her chuckling and it soothed down my muscles.

"Mein acchi hun na isi liye." (I'm good that's why).

"Yes yes it's my fate that I got a princess." She giggled and moved back. Her nose turned red and her eyes got a little puffy. I softly wiped her tears with a feathery touch but froze in my place.

"What happened?" She turned around to look then looked back at me in confusion. I held her jaw and turned her face a little. No I wasn't imagining there is a bruise on her cheek.

"Who has done it?" I couldn't contain my anger. She stilled in her place then shook her head moving a little back and looking down. "Answer me Amyrah I won't ask twice."

"It's nothing." She whispered.

"Amyrah." I warned her and she looked at me with her innocence filled eyes.
