HIS DARK DEMONS (✔️)

Chapter 22

Nidhi's POV

A week and two days later, I decide to officially show up in the office, and here I mean by in front of Darshan. We're having a meeting today, to the project we are working on, and it's a must for me, as well as Darshan to go. Hence, here I am!

I don't know how should I be feeling from the news I got. I've literally avoided Darshan for a week in every way possible. I could've not come today as well, but I knew that the meeting was important. I don't even know if I could believe him anymore or not.

All these thoughts are so clogged up in my my mind that I didn't realise I'm already entering Darshan's cabin. I slowly push open the door and peek inside. He stood up as soon as he saw me.

"Umm.. come in." He said me.

I go inside. I stand there awkwardly not knowing why did I come here in the first place.

"When is the meeting?" I asked.

"There's no meeting, Nidhi. I called you because I needed to talk." He says.

"What!" I'm surprised. I did not expect this.

"Please don't be angry, okay. We had to face this one day or another, I decided to tell everything first before anything happens between us. I wanted to be honest, and that's what I did. If honesty gives me this, it's completely understandable due to what my confession was." He said, before letting me speak.

"Okay. Talk."

"Whatever you needed to know, I told you yesterday. There's no more story to it. That was my dark past, and I had overcome with it, I have improved."

"And why are you telling all this to me? Why does it matter?" I question.

"Becuase I love you and I want to be with you." He says, looking directly into my eyes.

"Didn't you say these same words to your wives too?" I'm so out of my mind.

"Nidhi, please understand. You are nothing like them. I was a complete different person earlier, and that made me do that. What you see now is a far better version of me. And have been like this for last two years."

"Darshan, it's hard to collect everything you told, you know that right?" I ask.

"Yes I know, it's too much."

"I need some more time."

He looks down. He saddens.

"What? Now I don't get time to think?" I ask curiously.

"You can take all the time you need in the world." And with that said, he left the cabin.

I stood there like an idiot. Why the hell would he leave? Am I a idiot? Yes I am.

"You can't leave like that." I said, as I go behind him.

"Like what? You said you need time, that's what I gave you." He said like it's obvious.

"And what's that attitude for?" I say.

"What attitude? No. No attitude." He said casually.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Nothing THE FUCK is wrong with me. But maybe it's with you."

What?

"Because I asked for more time?" I ask. I'm on the verge of tears now.

"Because one week wasn't enough for you to think." He bitters.

"Keep yourself in my position, think, and then say what you want to." I kinda yell, and get out of the building.
