A Baker And A Billionaire (Completed)

Chapter 8

Sivaangi : Na unga kitta pesanum , she said not looking into his eyes.

Ashwin : Edhunalum nalaiku pesalam ma, you are not in the right state. First rest edu.

Sivaangi : I can manage , just listen to me once.

Her voice laced with pain and desperation as she spoke, her words cutting through the silence like a knife. "Ashwin, I want you to leave me alone from now on. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. I'm not worth it."

Ashwin's eyes widened, his face pale as he tried to process her words. He opened his mouth to speak, but Sivaangi didn't give him a chance.

"You're always there for me, Ashwin, but I'm not worth it. I'm a mess, a broken person. I'll only ruin you, like I've ruined everything else in my life."

Ashwin's face contorted in pain as Sivaangi's words struck him like a blow. He tried to speak again, but she continued, her voice rising in intensity.

"Leave me alone, Ashwin! I mean it! I don't want your pity or your sympathy. I just want you to leave me alone!"

The words hung in the air like a challenge, a gauntlet thrown down. Ashwin's eyes never left Sivaangi's face, his heart aching with every word she spoke. He knew she was hurting, but he couldn't understand why she was pushing him away.

She didn't even let him open his open. He stood there like a statue.

Sivaangi's words poured out like a torrent, a heartbreaking confession of her failures. "I've ruined everything, Ashwin. My parents, my brother, everyone in my life. And I'll ruin you too, if you stay with me."

"Sivaangi , don't say like---" he started but she cut him off.

"Just listen " she stated.

Ashwin's face contorted in anguish as he tried to reason with her, but she refused to listen. Her stubbornness was like a wall, impenetrable and unyielding.

As he reached out to touch her, she flinched away, her eyes flashing with pain. The rejection was like a slap, leaving Ashwin broken. He stood frozen, his eyes burning with unshed tears.

Sivaangi's voice cracked as she whispered, "Just leave me alone, Ashwin. Please, I am begging you."

Thats the final string , her words were a razor, slicing through Ashwin's heart. He nodded, his throat constricting. "Okay okayyy , Fine sivaangi. I'll leave you alone. I won't disturb anymore."

With a heavy heart, he turned and walked away, leaving behind the girl he loved, and the shattered remains of their relationship.

Sivaangi's resolve crumbled as she watched Ashwin walk away, her heart screaming for her to call out to him, to make him to stay. But her fear held her back, silencing her words. She stood frozen, her eyes fixed on the retreating figure of the only man she ever felt comfortable , as he drove away from her life.

Tears streamed down her face, her body trembling with the effort of restraining herself from running after him.

Sivaangi went inside the house to her. At the moment, her foot touched her room. Sivaangi's legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, her sobs echoing through the empty room.

In that moment, she realized that she had made a terrible mistake, that she had let her fears and doubts dictate her decisions. But it was too late now, Ashwin was gone, and she was left alone to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart. He would never comeback. She also hurted the only person who worshipped her without any expectations.

Two months had passed since the heart-wrenching conversation, and Sivaangi's expectations of Ashwin's visit lingered, like an unfulfilled promise.

She had begun to regret her decision, her heart softening with each passing day. Yet, she convinced herself that it was for the best, that Ashwin deserved better than a broken person like her.

Meanwhile, Ashwin's world was crumbling around him. The separation had left him shattered, and he missed Sivaangi more with each passing day.

He longed to see her, to hold her, to tell her how much he loved her. But he restrained himself, not wanting to burden her with his presence.

Instead, he found himself driving to her workplace at closing time, hiding in the shadows to ensure she made it home safely. He couldn't help but watch her, his heart aching with love and longing.

He also enlisted his sister Aisha's help, asking her to check on Sivaangi, to make sure she was doing okay.

Ashwin's love for Sivaangi only grew stronger in their separation, his heart refusing to let her go. He held onto the hope that one day, she would realize her worth, and they could be together again.
