The Favour

Ashi's pov:

I walk towards the drawer and pull it open to find a jewellery sized, blue coloured velvet box.

I frown, picking it up, I turn towards ishan who teleported behind me silently .

I raise my eyebrows in question and he motions for me to open it.

I click open the box and my breath is snatched away from me.

The same necklace I wanted from the showroom months ago when we went shopping with everyone sits there in the box with earrings dangling in between.

The diamonds shine so brightly that my eyes almost hurt.

Did he notice that I liked it?

My stomach flips inside me and my hearts beats a little extra beats seeing the effort he has put in for me.

No has ever had me like him.

And i want to kiss him right now.

Tears burn in the back of my eyes and I'm sure it's because my periods are around the corner.

"You like it? " Ishan asks swaying in his feet a little looking like a cute little child waiting for the review from his mother.

I shake away the tears and look up at him.

"How did you..?

Words fall short and i don't complete my sentence when ishan tips my head up with his fingers under my chin.

His touch giving me shivers and butterflies burst inside me.

"I cannot take this, ishan. It is too much. It was very expensive back when I thought of buying it."

He places his index finger on my lips, shutting me up.

"I asked if you liked it or no. Answer my question, sunshine." He pulls me closer to him again. His forehead brushing mine.

I nod once and try pulling away. This feeling is too much.

Even though I realized I love him but what I'm feeling right now for him is not love. It's more than that. It's kind of an obsession and like he has possessed me.

Every thought, every action reminds me of him. I want him close to me and love when he acts all different than other when I'm around him or when he's around me.

I see that he likes me, cares for me but I don't know if what I feel for him is equal to what he feels for me.

"Why are you pulling away, ashi? Is it because of that fucker? I'm trying to change your mood and bring that goddamn beautiful smile back on your face! " He pulls me to him again holding my bicep.

The fact that he's being careful of not exerting pressure while being angry makes my heart squeeze.

"Then don't! I'm not someone you can love,ishan. Why can't you see that? I'm trying to make you understand that I'm not the girl you should end up with! I'm only full of problems!" My voice raises one decibel than normal and that too because I can't speak louder than this otherwise it will be a topic of discussion in this house.

His face changes like I'm hurting him physically. But it is for the better for the both of us.

"I had a great time with you. sure I did. And I'm sure you did too but I cannot give you more than that. And when this fucking wedding is over, I'm sure you wouldn't want me around."

"No. Don't tell me you don't feel anything more than what you just said. I saw it in your eyes. And I know you're doing it for some stupid reason because of your overthinking."
