From Fangirl To His Wife

37. Thought of Mess

Bondita closed the door behind her, breathing in and out heavily as she leans on the wooden door of the store room, feeling every inch of her skin stiffen as she recalls every word he said. Catching her breathe as she walks towards the big wooden chair at one corner of the room, slumping herself into it, burying both her hands into her hair.

'What is happening? What is actually happening? Is he really here? Is Anirudh really in Tokyo? Did he really not sign the annulment ? If he didn't sign the annulment that means-'

Her thoughts got cut off when the door to the store room suddenly swung open making her jumped. Lifting her head in a flash, she finds herself looking at a pair of sharp eyes- beautiful piercing pair of eyes.

And that made her heart skip a beat, or perhaps two

Bondita abruptly got to her feet and inched backward as Anirudh casually walks in. This is not a good sign. She doesn't want to see him nor talk to him. Not when her head is an utter mess.

"Why are you here?"

Bondita stares intently at the figure she knows too well. The faint smell of his musk perfume began to pierce her senses, trailing every bit of memories she has been trying to forget.

"I am here to take back what's mine"

Anirudh closed the door behind him, slowly strolling his way towards bondita.

"I am here, to take you home"

Eyes widened in disbelief, she inched backward till her back hits the wall. She could feel massive waves of electricity jolting every inch of her flesh, sending quivers through out her veins. Everything becomes so blur at that moment.

As if the person standing right in front of her looks unreal-it is such a difficult sight to register.

"Why didn't you sign the annulment?". That question halted Anirudh's steps. He stood in the middle of the small store room, his soft pair of eyes looking at bondita with so much hope yet so much regrets.

Bondita braved herself to look into Anirudh's eyes. She wants answers. She wants explanation. Why didn't he sign the annulment when he is the one who made those documents? What happened along the way?

"Because I don't want any annulment"

His voice was almost distant, but she was sure she heard him. She heard him loud and clear.

"What are you-"

"I want us to be together", he continues his steps, slowly closing the gap between them, his eyes never leaving hers.

"Don't come near me", her voice came out shaky, in between fear and hurt.

Anirudh was about to speak when he suddenly heard voices from the other side of the door and that's when it hit him that there are people heading towards the store room. He turned to look at the door and then his eyes scan the whole store room, trying to find an escape route for both of them.

Without a warning, bondita pulled him into one of the medium sized lockers, cramming both of them inside before shutting the locker closed. Thankfully the locker was tall enough for Anirudh but unfortunately not big enough for them. He had to rest one hand flat beside bondita's head, stabling himself so that he won't crush her as they hide.

Bondita on the other hand finds herself difficult to breathe when she realized her face is just inches away from his chest. With his right hand resting at one side of her head, one wrong movement she would have find her face pressed on his chest.

"For the love of god, don't let that happen." She is praying in her mind.

With their bodies almost pressing onto each other, she tries her best to hold herself from having to lean on Anirudh's body for support. She didn't want to even touch him, but Anirudh had other thoughts. He purposely adjusted his legs and that sudden movement made bondita her lost balance forcing her to lean on his chest, gripping on his jacket in order to keep her still and stable.
