Edward's POV
"Ashima wait let me call my driver" I said leaving her hand to take my phone out of my pocket but before I could do that I felt weight on myself as Ashima dropped herself on me although she's awake but is not able to stand properly.
"Are you okay" I asked with concern while gently patting on her cheek.
"I'm tired" she whispered, I don't understand one thing Ashima said what she was drinking is just a juice then how is she looking so drunk now, is there something wrong but before I could think any further I felt wetness of the water droplets on my face and soon realized it's raining. So I quickly took my phone and called my driver but by the time he came with the car we both were totally wet.
Soon as we were seated inside the car I told my driver to take us to Ashima's place although I don't want to leave her alone in this condition but I know she won't like it if I take her to my place in the morning. But I'll make sure she's okay before I leave her place.
"Are you feeling cold" I asked looking at her and she just nodded in reply with her head resting on my shoulder, I'm feeling like we are already a perfect couple but to my bad luck it's not true.
"Wait...drive us to my place only" I said to my driver as we almost reached at Ashima's place but I'm not liking the idea of leaving her alone in this condition.
"Edward" I heard her whisper after sometime.
"Yes" I replied wondering what she'll say next.
"You are a good person" she said chuckling and I looked at her with a small smile, it's a first time I'm hearing this from a girl or else arrogant word is which I hear from people the most and I don't care about whatever they say but she brings the good side out of me, she has changed me without even wanting and knowing it.
"Sir we reached" I snapped out of my trance when I heard my driver and I helped Ashima out of the car.
"Wait do I stay here, this doesn't look like my home" she said as I took her to my room.
"This is your home too" I replied as she sat on the bed and looked around like examining it and I sat beside her.
"Is that your dad" she asked pointing at the picture of my mom and dad hanging on the wall.
"Yes how did you know" I asked raising my eyebrows.
"You both look similar, but maybe he's more handsome" she replied giggling and I chuckled seeing that, it's good and very rare to see her laugh or else there's always kind of pain and loneliness in her eyes, maybe it's the alcohol that's keeping all her worries and tensions away from her for a while.
"What happened...You are crying" I asked worried as I saw tears rolling down her eyes.
"I miss my dad" she finally said what was troubling her making me remember my meeting with Mr. Sanjay.
"Then why don't you meet him" I suggested.
"He hates me I'm probably not the perfect daughter he ever wished for and I can't forget that he...he is the reason of Ava's death" she replied.
"First of all maybe what you think is wrong, maybe you just misunderstood him and second of all...he doesn't hate you no one can hate you because you have a pure and beautiful heart" I said wiping her tears away gently "And now you should sleep it's late" I added.
"Edward, why do you love me" she asked suddenly after few minutes of silence.
"I can't explain why I love you" I replied with a shrug.
"Then tell me how does it feels to be in love" she asked with curiosity while placing her palms on her cheeks.
"When you are in love you can do anything for that one special person, you can't stay away from the one you love, you'll want to see that person every now and then but only for their happiness you'll even be ready to stay away from them even if it's impossible for you and I guess that's what I'll do" I replied looking in her eyes.
"If this is what people call love then I think I'm in love too" she said blushing and chuckling but it made me worry, is she talking about that guy with whom I saw her, please Ashima don't tell me that you love him I won't be able to take it, I'll do something to him which I'll regret later.
"With whom" I asked fearing of her answer but it was too late to ask as she already passed out and I sighed, somehow I'm relieved that she fell asleep because I don't know if I would be able to hear her saying that she loves someone else.
"I'll always love you even if you don't love me back" I whispered placing a kiss on her forehead.
