Fate And Love

Abhijays Pov

Before she could say anything further, a sudden knock on the door startled us both.

"Come in"

I insisted, hoping it wasn't anyone from my family. They are the last people I wanted to meet at that hour.

The door flinged open.

"Oh...Alice..."

I murmured, trying not to express my relief. I turned my posture completely towards the door, pausing for her to speak up.

"Sorry to disturb you, but these suitcases belong to ma'am."

Nodding, I got hold the handles of all the suitcases from her, one by one and placed them on the bedside. It must've taken her a lot of time to pull so many here, how much can a person bring, really?

Alice gave an abrupt bow and left the place.

"I'll unpack them, please show me my closet"

Her tone was formal and I was trying my best to get used to it, even though I didn't need to. I was missing the cheerful, immature girl who wouldn't stop yapping about her day. But I know, she is hidden because of me.

I nodded again, taking the suitcases gradually towards her closet.

I pushed open the closet door and a small gasp reached my ear.

I peeked at her face, her eyes expressed amaze and a curve of displeasure played on her lips.

"Isn't this area too big? I mean, I don't need this much space, really."

Why was she like this? If she is getting more than she needs, isn't it normal human behaviour to just accept it?

But then again, she can't be termed as a normal human.

I just shrugged.

"Trust me, you need it."

I tried to assure her, knowing how much my mother cares about image in front of the stupid media.

"I don't."

Came her reply within seconds, always ready to argue with me.

I scoffed.

"You've to accept this change of lifestyle Suha...na. It is what it is."

I reasoned. She needed to change her way of thoughts and living, she is a part of my family now and as much as it looks good from outside, it's terribly suffocating to be under the eyes of the country. Privacy isn't even a word in our dictionary.

"Give me some time"

She complained, her brows drew together.

"I will, mom won't."

I said with a low tone, stating facts.

She said nothing further and took a throaty breathe.

Strolling towards the bed, she settled herself on the left side, lifting her legs up to rest them on the bed. She laid her head on the back rest and closed her eyes.

Such a casual way to ignore.

"That's my side"

I felt competitive, I've never changed sides.

"Mine now"

She kept her eyes closed and voice authoritative.

I couldn't argue more. She lays the rules, like always.

"Atleast change your clothes."

I suggested, she was seemingly uncomfortable with laying on the bed in that outfit.
