SEALED BY UNIVERSE

CHAPTER 23

"He who has no attachments can really love others, for his love is pure and divine."

For some people love is strength and for some it's weakness but it's on us what we want to have.

AUTHOR POV

They all have arrived at House past 11:30 PM. Darsh's mom welcomed Vritika, her Griha Pravesh (Homecoming) was done and then everyone went to their room. Vritika was following Darsh to his room.

"This is it." Darsh said.

"Your room?" Vritika was in aww.

"OUR room Vritika." with that Darsh went to rest room for freshening up.

Vritika took two pillows from bed and kept on the couch and a blank which was neatly folded on chair. She was removed her night wears and was keeping her suitcase behind the couch at that very moment Darsh came out.

"Why are there pillows on the couch?" His voice was little authoritative.

"Ahm... Because I'll sleep there." with that she dashed into washroom.

DARSH POV

That's it this is too much. She'll sleep with me on our bed, like hell I will let her sleep on the couch which the look of its scream pain. I took the pillows and keep on bed and the blanket; I tossed in closet. Soon the restroom door opened, and I take her in. She is wearing a NYU hoddie which is too big on her and a pair of sweats. She looked so adorable when she is frowning.

"Darsh why are the pillows on the bed?" she asks.

"They are in their place." She raises her eyebrow.

"The bed is big enough for two Buttercup. So, stop being a child and sleep on bed."

"I can't sleep with you in the same bed." she argued. My head started to hurt.

"We are married. You can and you will sleep in the bed with me but no one else. And why are you being so resistant about it? Am I that bad? Do I repel you? Why?" I didn't know when I came this close to her literarily and figurately. On the other hand, her eyes were wide with heavy breathing. I remove the distance between us and grab her nape to make eye contact with her. 

"I AM SCARD!" she shouted.

"I can't lose people aging." She started to cry.

"Darsh, I can't get close to you nor anyone if that matter and, in the end, break my heart. I am already on edge, and I know we can have normal relationship, but I'm not fit for it. I have issues which can't be resolve easily." the last part came very low, as if she will spill something important.

I took her face into my palms slowly, caressing her cheek. "Buttercup, I can deal with any issues if you are by my side. I just want you to be here with me." she shook her head.

"Remember what has happen last time when we were on bed?" she whispered with the redden cheeks. 

"I will control myself if you are concern, but you can't sleep there. It's not good for your body."

"So are you." her eyes were wide as if that was not supposed to be told out loud. That's it. She can do whatever she wants to do fucking that's it. I removed my hands and took few steps back. 

"Darsh..." 

"It's really fine Vritika. You can do as you please. I won't meddle." she flinched.

"Darsh it's not what you think." 

"No, Vritika you are right. We should not get close, stupid of me to think that we are friends but it's actually good for both of us to keep distance and if you want, I can take another room just you know it won't bother anyone and don't worry I will not tell anyone about arrangements either sleeping one or marriage." I took my laptop and a pillow and rushed out room.
