29. For seven months

"Why did you leave me? You promised you would stay forever" I spoke with difficulty. Taking deep breaths to prevent my panic attack which seemed impossible.

And before I could stop him he ran towards me and hugged me "relax, just breath" he said caressing my back.

"Leave me" I said taking a deep breath and pushing him which was having no effect on him.

"Did you bought your pills?" He asked worriedly.

I just shook my head and he kept caressing my back.

"Just focus on your breaths"

After about five minutes my breath was back to normal.

The doctor often suggested me to distract myself before I feel like I am going to have my Panic attack but it never worked.

I tried but failed miserably but this time in his embrace I did it.

I couldn't believe I just prevented a panic attacks without my pills.

Unfortunately this wasn't the time to thank him.

I tried to push him with more force but he tightens his grip around me and muttered "I am really sorry please forgive me"

"Leave me" I said firmly and he loosened his grip. I quickly get out from his hold and looked at him.

"Let's not stretch it more. I don't want my family to have high expectations from you. Let's end this here Arjun I will tell them we broke up because we didn't felt we are a perfect match for each other"

"We are the perfect match" he said with urgency

"No we are not! I can't leave with this fear all my life about you leaving me. I have learnt to live without you and I hope you also have.... so let's just end this here"

I said talking my steps back to leave from here as soon as I can.

"I will cherish the love we shared for rest of my life but I don't see my future with you" I said looking into eyes.

I felt a pang in my chest after finally parting our ways but if I stop today then maybe I will blame myself for the rest of my life.

We shared the gaze and before I could turn to leave he came forward and grabbed my wrist "you can't go" he voice was soft along with his grip on my wrist.

I looked at him surprised "you said I am responsible for you condition right? Then let me take the responsibility" I gulped looking at him all determined to get me back.

"Why do you want to continue this which don't have a future" I said in a breath.

"I could imagine my future only with you"

"But I can't. I am no longer a college teenager Arjun I have my own duties to fulfill. I can't disappoint my family"

"You don't have to, I know you loved me and has never stopped loving me. I just want you" he said encircling his hand around my waist and tucking the strand of hair kissing my cheek behind my ear.

I chuckled "yeah of course you are a billionaire you can have me even if I say no because you have that power right? It doesn't matter if I say yes or no" bitterness left my mouth.

"Here you are wrong sweetheart, you will be mine only when you permit it but that doesn't stop me from wanting you. I will try till my last breath to change you mind" there's only one word which could describe his attitude right now and that is obsession

"You will only meet disappointed"

"I will keep pursuing you until you agree for the marriage" he said cupping my cheek.

Now I know that he isn't Kidding. Even if I say no to him he will never stop loving me.

But that doesn't mean I will let him have me so easily.

"Just one chance please" he pleaded.

"The chance I give you know may sacrifice my life. You have already left me with panic attacks now do you want me to die w-"

"Mary" he cut me in mid sentence.

"Yeah I might die this time Arjun. Let us part our ways if you don't want that" I said softly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Trying to come up with something.

He hugged me this time and I thought he wanted to say good bye but-

"Seven months" he whispered.

"Huh?"

He broke the hug and looked into my eyes again.

"Give me seven months. If I still couldn't make this relationship work I will sign the divorce papers" thick silence fell between us.

He waited for my answer impatiently.

"Please" he said caressing my cheek and I gulped.

"After seven months if I felt that you are incapable of building this relationship again then I can di-divorce you without any hurdles?"

"Yeah, I will not force you to stay. It will be your decision to make" he said.

I blinked my eyes quite a few times to grasp the things more clearly.

My parents have already accepted him. My brother is also on his side and that madness I see in his eyes is not helping either.

If he is saying that it will be my take then I am hundred percent sure he won't interfere in my life after seven months but-

Don't show me your face again else I might kill you

I am ready to accept you even if you cheated on me, just be with me I will give you everything you want

I am incapable of forgetting the things he said and did to me.

And now I want to live my life for my parents who are already tensed because of me.

If they are happy to accept him as a son-in-law and he is ready to divorce me after seven months then what should I worry about?

Maybe this is the best way to let him know that we aren't made for each other.

"I am ready to marry you" I said.

He smiled and leaned in but I stopped him by placing my hands on his chest.

"But you have to make the contract out of this. I don't trust your words now" I said firmly and he simply nodded with the hint of sadness in his eyes.

"I respect your decision. I will get it ready before the wedding and will make sure you start trusting my words again"

"This is only for seven months Mister Malhotra don't get your hopes high"

He just smiled but didn't replied.

"Also I don't want a grand wedding" I requested.

"As you wish darling"
