𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒍 We were so close yet too far. A sudden realisation that he loves someone else. I was pretty sure he was with her last night after dropping me. I closed the door behind me.
I felt bad that he was not the one who put me in bed or put blanket over me after I slept, removed my gloves. I felt something really heavy in my chest.
I checked myself in the mirror and went out. Rishi was already waiting for me in the car. As usual I took the passenger seat. We kept quite through our drive. He looked at me in every 5-10 minutes. _______________ "I feel pleasure making deal with you" I hand shaked with the man. His touch was not good, it felt so uncomfortable. I stepped closer to my brother.
"It's a completely our pleasure to work with such a beautiful lady like you" he said, lust in eyes.
"I guess, you guys are late for the flight" my brother stepped between the sight of me and the man. They bid us a goodbye and left the office. My brother sat on his seat and I sat infront of me.
"What are you holding up?" he asked at an instant. He wandered around his office shelves and picked out some files.
"How do you know..I-" he cut me off in middle as I spoke nervously.
"You play with your hands when something is making you nervous" he said and leaned in his chair.
The incident happened earlier with Rishi was making me anxious. "It's something I wanted to tell you from past one month" I covered my face with my hands as anxiety took over me.
"What is it Princess?? You never hold something for this long" he asked in concern.
"It's..It's about Rishi" I said slowly 'cause I knew he was standing just right outside the cabin but then I realised the cabin is sound proofed. "I..um..I don't know but there's this feeling for him which I can't resist from growing. It's just happens when I see him, my heart flutters. I love it when he cares for me but not as a client. And I know he cares for me not just as a client but also as a person." I said everything in one go.
"Are you sure you feel this?" He walked upto and sat beside me on the Sofa. He listened to me with full attention.
"Yes..I feel jealous when someone touches him. I feel to caress every wound he have in his heart. I know their's alot he doesn't show but believe me there's something in his heavy heart which stops him from showing his emotions" tears slipping down my cheeks following each word. "But the day of Basant Panchami I overheard him.." I cried. Bhaiya pulled me in hug.
"I heard him saying that he loves someone else..And it hurted bhaiya.. alot" I sobbed in chest.
"Princess..You know you are in love?" he said softly. He could completely feel of being in love 'cause recently only he got through the shit. He knows what I mean to say, he knows what my heart feels right then and there.
"I know I just don't want to admit it 'cause it hurts when I think of him all day but still can't have him" my sobs became stronger. I never show emotions until it's the people I trust. Infact I never cried in front of my best friend Srisha.
"It's fine..It's fine..You should confess" he said. I shook my head while hiding in his chest. After Maa he was my only safe place. Papa could make his time for us because of political works somewhere he felt guilty about it too. 'cause after Maa we all were shattered into pieces but only thing which held us together was eachother.
"He'll not accept me...I can live with this pain but not his rejection." I whimpered. I want to hide from him 'cause the second I will see I know I'm completely going to lose it. "He..h..he said she was like oxygen to him" I sniffled.
"The longer you will hold the more it will hurt, Coral. I don't want you to get hurt" he engulfed me in his arms. He stood up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" I grabbed tissue from the table. I wiped my tears and nose with tissue slowly.
"Telling Rishi to have his rest of the day off" he went of the cabin.
I got glimpse of his biceps as the door opened and closed.
Bhaiya came inside after few minutes. I sat there feeling low. Bhaiya came and sat near me. I looked up at him. He watched me patiently.
"Why'd you told him to leave?" I asked slowly.
" 'cause he too needs time for his sweetheart" he said and stood up. He also knew what Rishi could feel in love. A day off would be great for him to meet his Ms.Oxygen.
"Are you trying to make me feel more sad?" I sniffled. "And what about your rest of the day? Don't you have a schedule" I said, I didn't want disturb his schedule.
"I took a day off too for my sweetheart Princess" he went over to the intercom and told his assistant to bring us icecream. "Do you remember when we used get sad or hurt Maa always brought us icecream?"
I looked down at my hands. Not having enough energy to speak.
"It's fine princess to let go people, you love" he said calmly. He pulled out packet of Oreos from a drawer.
"Why do you have Oreos in your office?" I said in low voice. I stood up and snatched the packet from him.
"I thought just in case and look it's day we actually need it" he pulled out a box from the same drawer. I stood there watching him with Oreos stuffed in my mouth already. "Let's play Word Scramble, this will keep your mind busy"
And the rest of the day we played, fought and binge ate our favourite foods. I wandered what Rishi had been doing...
💞 So finally she confessed not to Rishi though but it's a great step towards their future. How beautiful is it to have such a amazing brother right?
Patience. Patience. Patience. I know you people must be getting crazy like when they will confess beleive me it's the same for me too. Maybe in a few chapters?? Definitely.
I shouldn't be giving you guys a spoiler but hold your heart with all patience.
