Edward's POV
"Then why did you disappear suddenly and where were you all these days" she asked and my thoughts slipped back to that night.
"I'll always love you even if you don't love me back" I whispered placing a kiss on her forehead.
I just kept gazing at her for few minutes before calling my maid to change her clothes because her clothes are wet and she might get ill because of that and I went out, I could have done it by myself but then I remembered that I have no right to do that.
When I came back in my room I saw Ashima lying on the bed sleeping peacefully wearing my shirt looking cute and sexy at the same time, I sat beside her and covered her properly with the duvet as the cold wind flew in through the open window.
I was lost in my own thoughts while gazing at her when my phone rang and I received it after seeing that it's from my granny's brother from India.
"Is she okay now" I asked worried when he informed me that my granny is not well and right now she is admitted in the hospital.
I hanged up after getting a reply from him that she is not totally okay and wishes to see me.
"I have to leave now but I'll miss you" I whispered before kissing her forehead.
I snapped out of my trance when I heard Ashima calling me.
"Edward I'm asking you something" she said with a frown.
"Yeah actually my granny was not well and I was so worried about her that I left at night only and she wanted me to stay with her for few days so I was in India" I replied and she just nodded before silence took place between us.
"This was why you were leaving everything behind...your life here, your career" I asked after a while breaking the silence.
"I always said that you love me and you just don't realize it but I was so wrong and you were right all the time you don't love me and you can't because trust is the base of love and now I know you don't trust me at all...you think so low of me" I added when she didn't reply, I'm really hurt because of all this.
"You were leaving right, then go now I'll not stop you anymore, I'll not run after you anymore you are free to go" I said although not angrily but calmly, I never thought she could think so low of me, I truly loved her and I still do but all she did in return was doubt my love, maybe we are really not meant to be together and I should stop trying.
"Do what you are best at and that is running away from situations...like you always do rather then facing and handling them" I said turning my back towards her and was about to leave because I don't want to see her leaving, I don't want to see her going away from me for forever, but I stopped in my tracks when I felt her hand griping around my wrist and there was silence before she spoke up.
"Edward you are right, I'm really coward to run away from everything like I did years back, like I did when you confessed your love for me, like I was doing now" she said in a really low voice then paused and I didn't turn towards her because I don't want her to stop talking, today I want her to say everything that's in her heart, her pain, her fears, her insecurities everything.
"I was running away from you because I'm scared to love you, to get so attached to you that I won't be able to live without you when you leave, yes I don't have the guts to accept my own feelings for you but what else can I do when everyone whom I loved left me alone...my mom, my dad, my entire family" she continued in a shaky voice and laughed at her last words, I'm sure she must be crying by now and I couldn't take it anymore so I turned around and wrapped my arms around her hugging her tightly.
"I'm sorry I didn't trusted you enough but I just thought that you never truly loved me and to be honest that thing hurt me the most and then you didn't even try to meet me again or contact me...I was really broken and like you said I decided to do the thing I'm best at" she said hugging me back softly.
"But now I won't run away anymore because running away from situations only makes us lose our loved ones and I don't want to lose you" she added and it took me few seconds to understand her words...is she indirectly confessing her love.
"I hope it's not too late to say this but I..." she spoke after few seconds of silence but then paused.
"I love you" she finished her sentence and those three words which I have been dying to hear from her had my heart beating at an unusual rate.
