36 SILENT SUFFERING

Target: 10 VOTES and 5 COMMENTS.

Hey guys I know I got a little late in uploading this chapter but my Wattpad is still not supporting Internet yet but I hope this issue will resolve soon. My VPN wasn't working either so I had to wait for any wifi connection as everyone in my family has jio sim.

ARJUN'S POV:

I made her lie on the bed and sat beside her. She was sleeping peacefully, but after half an hour, she started wiggling in her sleep. I tried to console her, but she was getting out of control. Taking off my shoes, I lay beside her and gently caressed her hair to calm her down. Suddenly, she screamed my name.

"ARJUN JI!"

I didn’t know what to do, so I held her close to me. Her breathing was uneven, so I whispered soothing words in her ear, wrapping my arms around her waist to pull her closer. Soon, she calmed down and drifted back to sleep. I carefully moved out of her hold and placed a pillow in my place.

Stepping out of the room, I called Shekhar and shared my plan with him.

Based on the information we had, something was expected to happen today, and I needed to be prepared. I sat on the sofa and messaged Vikram to bring the files. Soon, there was a knock at the door, and I knew it must be Vikram. We both settled down in the room, as I didn’t want to leave Avni alone especially after everything she’d gone through, all because of me and my family.

We worked for an hour, and I glanced at Avni every now and then to check on her. After Vikram left with the files, I moved towards the bed and lay beside Avni again. I pulled her towards me after removing the pillow. She quickly wrapped her arms around me and hid her face in my chest. Even in this condition, she looked beautiful. Soon, sleep consumed me as well.

I stirred in my sleep when I felt some movement. Opening my eyes, I saw Avni’s scared face. I immediately loosened my hold on her waist and cupped her face.

“What happened, Avni? Are you hurt somewhere?” I asked her, concerned.

“No, I’m not hurt. I just need to use the washroom.” She replied, moving out of my hold.

I didn’t say anything further and asked a maid to bring fresh clothes for her. After five minutes, I knocked on the washroom door, and she peeked out. I handed her the clothes and towel.

“I asked the maid to bring these for you so you don’t feel like I’m invading your privacy.” I said, looking down.

“Thank you, Arjun ji.” She said softly, making me look at her for a brief moment.

I stepped back and fixed the bed. Sitting down, I called a maid and instructed her to summon the designer team. Soon, Avni came out of the washroom, and I informed her about the designers. She agreed to meet them.

When the team arrived, we both went through the designs, but she didn’t select any dress. I couldn’t control my curiosity.

“What’s wrong, Avni? Why aren’t you selecting anything?”

“I will wear whatever you ask me to.” She replied, looking down.

“You all can leave. I’ll call you later.” I instructed the designers, and they left the room.
