Unforgotten Love

Chapter-20

Annika's pov:

As I heard his voice, my heart beat fastened, words stuck inside my throat. I didn't know what to say, but one thing was sure that he was drunk. He was so drunk that he might not remember anything that he would do.

"Anni... please,I beg you to forgive me. The gui-guilt of not tr-trusting you is eating me." The way he stuttered while begging me to forgive him melted my heart. His voice held pain, hurt, and regret for not trusting me was clear.

But it clenched my heart when I remembered all the words he said. I didn't know when I started crying, I kept my hand on my mouth to control my sobbing, but it miserably failed as I heard him say

"Anni, sunshine, please stop crying I given you enough reasons. I know that, but now I just want to be that reason for your happiness. Please......".

Sunshine, my breath hitched as i heard that word. That word gave birth to some new insects in my stomach. His drunk side was giving me new nicknames, which sober one has never thought of. He wanted to be the reason for my happiness.

But the truth was he was my happiness.
Actually, he was sunshine of my life because without him, my life was filled with darkness. His smile is oxygen to my lungs. My heart, it beats faster and faster when he sees me. I personally don't like black color, but his eyes, his eyes, do something and have the power to change that decision.

As I was lost in his color of eyes, I mean my thoughts. When his voice made me come back to earth

"Hello... hello Anni, are you listening? Please say something. Yell at me, your silence is curse for me. Your absence is darkness to my soul. Please...say something."

I wanted to say a lot. I wanted to say that I am craving to have a conversation. Your tears are like daggers to my soul. Your words which you wrote in the letter is treating my wounds like an ointment. But to my despise, no words were enough what I felt for that man.

But after a few minutes, no voice came from the other side. Rather, I heard sounds of music than his voice. I spoke
"Hello...." But it came out as whisper. And no response came, I tried again and spoke

"Hello,Shiv...." Still, I was unheard as the seconds turned into minutes, my heart starting throbbing. I felt uneasiness in my chest and regret started to crawl upon me for not saying, but my main concern was that he was not answering. I tried calling him many times, but still no answer.

So I put his phone on hold and called Kabir

"Hello, Kabir, where are you?" I asked impatiently.

"Going home after dropping Adhira. Why? What happened? Why are you sounding so tense?" He inquired in a concerned tone.

"Shivansh called me...." I said hesitantly

"So? " He said nonchalantly

"He is drunk at the bar." I whispered

"He is what?!!" He yelled

"Don't fucking scream!!!" I exclaimed

"So what should I do? Thank God that he finally started drinking. Is that what you want me to do?" He replied sarcasticly while I rolled my eyes.

"No, you dumbass, go and pick him up and drop him at his home." I ordered

"What I am? your driver?" He said sarcasticly.

"No, you are that dumbshit who has created all this mess. Now, solve this shit. Don't you dare to deny if you did. I will send that audio to Adhira." I said while threatening him.
