'Eye Contact'

Sumedh's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at her. She was sleeping while her arms were wrapped around me. I just looked at her. I noticed her eyes. Something was different as if she cried.

I feel bad. She probably cried because of me. It's all my fault. My eyes became moist at the thought. I saw her moving slightly. I hurriedly wiped my eyes. She woke up and yawned.

Mallika: Good morning baby.

I didn't say anything. She removed her arms from me. I went to the cupboard and took my clothes out. I chose my clothes yesterday only. I didn't want to look at her, didn't want to see the hope in her eyes or the apology etched on her face. I wasn't ready to forgive. I wasn't ready to forget.

I went to the bathroom. I got freshened and bathed. I wore my clothes and combed my hairs. I went out and wore my shoes. I looked at myself in the mirror.

She was not here, probably in the closest

She was not here, probably in the closest. I went downstairs. I reached the dining hall and poured myself a glass of water, my hands shaking slightly. I took a sip, the cool liquid soothing my parched throat.

I stood there for a moment, my eyes fixed on the garden outside, my mind fixed on the turmoil within. I went into the kitchen ignoring all my thoughts. I greeted Kishor kaka.

Kishor: Sumedh aaj tum bahut acche lag rahe ho.

I smiled at him. I know he is lying. I can't look good.

Sumedh: Thank you.☺️

Kishor: Mai khana laga du?

Something came into my mind.

Sumedh: Nahi kaka mai nahi khana chahta.
