Love confession

Chapter 20

...

Advay came out of his room towelling his hairs. He was wearing blue jeans and white shirt. He saw her sitting on floor and ignored her. He took out his mobile and sent text to Suresh to ask watchman to open his office as he was coming over there.

Chandini watched him with periphery of her eyes. She coughed a little. Advay went to table and started going through the files, searching for something. Chandini tied her hairs in pony tail and put her brush on dresser. She went to him and stood near him. He was still going through the files.

Chandini,''Still angry?''

Other than clutching of his jaw tightly, Advay showed no sign that he had heard her.

Advay finally found what he was looking for and turned to leave.

Chandini ran to door and stood in front of it. Advay glared at her.

Chandini put her hands on ears,''I am sorry. I am really really sorry; please don't be mad at me, see I will even do sit ups.''

Chandini started to do sit ups while talking, ''I was under stress Advay. I know you asked something from me for the first time but baba asked and I agreed. I don't want to get married and leave everyone.''

Advay,''Tiny, I don't want to talk to you.''

Chandini,''but I'm doing sit ups! At least talk to me, say you accept my apology''.

Advay was already angry and this was making him more irritated.

''Who asked you to do sit ups? You started doing them yourself.'' He glared.

Chandini started doing the sit ups again.

Advay noticed, she had started to huff. How does one stay mad at a child? He thought to himself.

He sighed, then turned and went back toward the couch. He put the files back on table and sat down on sofa.

Chandini was still doing sit ups. Advay let her continue while he quickly went throw his emails. Chandini moved while still doing sit ups and soon she was beside the sofa breathing heavily.

Advay put the mobile away and stared at table, ''stop it.''

Chandini stopped. Then grabbed the big cushion sitting in a corner and dragged it near couch and then sat on it.

Both were silent. Finally Chandini said, 'sorry about swathi.''

Advay,''it's good that she is gone.'' He fumed remembering the stupid accusations she had hurled at him.

Chandini laced her fingers and stared at carpet,'' I know you liked her, it must have been difficult and then, our wedding ... things just happened one after another.''

Advay laid back against the couch, and stared at ceiling. He didn't know how to reply to that, so he remained silent. He brooded silently over the events which had taken place in these weeks.

Chandini,''everyone is really happy with our wedding.''

Advay,''yes, except the bride and groom.''

Chandini,'' I am not unhappy.''

Advay closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.'' stop it. I guessed the reason why you said yes. It was because of the false accusations swathi made in front of everyone ... your engagement got broken, ayi must have cried in front of you, ataya ji must have added further fuel to fire, baba got sentimental...what a mess. But don't worry, we will go back to states far away from all this crap and we will get divorced over there. Y
You can complete your studies and we will search someone good for you. ''
