Fatal attraction

Chapter 20

-Sanjana-

"Ah! Megha open the door", I groaned in frustration as the voice of the doorbell reached my ears. It's been few hours since Rohan arrived at my house and I was afraid that it would be him again. It felt good to see him and it felt way more better to see him begging and crying. He deserved those tears. But still why did I feel so sad? Why did my heart ache when I saw his tears? I thought I was over him! I better be, damn you heart!!

When I saw him at my doorstep, I felt as if I was on cloud nine. I couldn't stop smiling. Only I know how I managed to maintain my cold glare. I knew my words were hurting him but I just can't accept him so easily. I have to test his patience, his love. I have to see how far he goes to get me back and I won't accept him too easily. When he left me, my heart sank. He didn't even try. He just sighed and left. I wanted him to beg more, to express his love for me, to explain me how much he missed me. Although, he did tell me he missed my voice which kinda surprised me. I wasn't expecting this from him and he just said it out of the blue so, it caught me offguard.  My heart fluttered at the sentence and the butterflies began dancing inside my stomach. I missed his raspy voice, his smile which always succeeded in making my heart flutter, his cheesiness, his poor jokes, the way he kissed me, the way I feel when he hugs me, the warm feeling I always feel around him, the way his large, rough hand felt on my small, smooth hand, his hair which I loved to ruffle, his eyes which made me feel lost whenever I looked into them and the way he made me feel loved. He was the only hapiness left in my life but I feel like I'm destined to be sad. I feel like if I try to smile even a wee bit, it would be taken away from me too. I'm afraid Megha will go away from me too. Everyone went away. Everyone whom I loved. My Dad, Mom, Grandma and at last, Rohan.

"Sanju, someone wants to meet you", My thoughts were interrupted by Megha's scream. I let out a sigh of relief as I saw the person who was waiting for me in the hall. It wasn't Rohan but a man in his mid fourties, I guess but I don't know him. He smiled rather awkwardly as he stood up from the sofa. I smiled back and motioned him to sit down.

"Umm.. its alright, child. I am Rohan's dad", He raked his hair as his eyes reflected way too many emotions. Sad, guilt, fury, confusion and much more. I understand why he felt those three but why was he confused?

"Nice to meet you", I faked a smile as my mind was filled qith lots of unanswered questions.

"Sneha?", His pupils dilated and his mouth formed a perfect 'O' as he scrutinised me.

"Excuse me?", I raised my eyebrow. He knew my mother? He continued staring me for a few seconds as my self consciousness overtook my senses and I shook my head. When he realised he was making me uncomfortable, he mumbled a sorry and explained me why he came here.

"I know you would be thinking why I came here and all. You already know about my son and his stupidity.", I nodded and sat down on the sofa in front of him as he continued. " Before I say something, can you please not tell all this to Rohan.", I nodded again as he drank water from the glass which was kept on the table and wiped off sweat on his face qith his hankerchief.

"I didn't come here to beg you to be in a relationship with my son. I hate him for doing such a thing. My whole life I despised such kind of jerks and here I was gifted with one, funny right? But, it isn't his fault. We never gave him much attentiom due to some reasons and it was my fault. I've been a selfish parent, always caring about me and cursing my life. Now, when I have realised my mistake, I just wanna say one thing. Please just don't him too easily. Let him realise his mistake properly if you know what I mean. I don't want him to repeat something like this again. He loves you, that's for sure because I have seen it in his eyes. Well, I guess that's it", He got up as I looked at him, surprised at his words.
