Unforgotten Love

Chapter-16

Shivansh's pov:

The way to her office today was too long for me. An urge to see her face was getting stronger by each passing second. The peace I get after seeing her eyes, her serene face, was blissful to my heart. My heart was throbbing due to nervousness. What I will say to her ? How will I apologize to her? Lots of questions were roaming inside my mind. But I calm my thoughts.

As soon as I reached her office building, I took deep breaths and masked my nervousness. After parking my car, I proceeded towards the reception. I reached out to the receptionist and said

"I wanted to meet Ms. Agrawal." To which she replied in a low tone.

"Sorry sir,ma'am is not coming for a few days."

"Ohh...since when?" I asked out of curiosity

"Since 2-3 days...." She said, which made me realize that she is not coming since that incident, which means something happened to her. But what I still don't know about. Again, I had an urge to ask when she would come, which I did.

"When will she come? Any idea?" To which she replied

"Don't know, sir."She is not well. The reason is somewhere me. I knew that. But I maintained my static face and turned around to leave, but something came to my mind, and I said

"Whenever she comes, please inform me."
"Sure, sir." She replied

After feeling dishearted, I returned home, but my thoughts were lost in her. My soul was yearning to meet her. But destiny gave me punishment for my deeds, which I am now bearing. But I was determined to have any punishment. I know I have made terrible mistakes. My harsh words for her can't be erased. But I will try to rectify my mistakes.

Remembering our school days were I was a like shield that protected her from any problem, but now, now my words are dagger to her. I felt pang in my chest every time I thought of the words that I used for her. How can I become so stone-hearted? A more shocking part is for her.

My trust towards her was never that weak until that incident happened. That incident changed everything between us. But now I have doubts about what happened 8 years back. However, I still didn't have proof regarding that. Now, I am determined that I would trust her and whoever it is, who tried to portray her in the wrong way, I will bring destruction to them.

Nevertheless, right now, my concern was to talk to her, telling her how guilty I was, how wrong I was, when I judged her just by seeing what someone had planned for me to see. But now I know that my Annika is innocent. She doesn't pretend to be who she is. My heart was still not at peace as I hadn't seen her, and I talked to her.

Lost in my thoughts, suddenly I realized that house was a mess. Everything was scattered around the floor. Broken pieces of glass, food lying on the floor. It looked as if there was battle fought in the house. So I decided to call the maids to clean this up as I didn't want another mess in my life.

After calling the maids,I went to my room to freshen up as they already had the keys to enter, and I wanted to align my thoughts that were continuously roaming around her. I walked in the closet , changed myself into comfy clothes, went to the washroom, and washed my face. After freshening myself, I lie down on the bed. I was thinking of every possibility that I can use to ask for my forgiveness
