Fallen for you [ ✓ ]

20. Desires

After an eternity, I came back to my sense and pushed him away.

"I am sorry it was a mistake," he answered in regret.

"Mistake!?... am I a joke to you? You have wedding in two days but here you are making out with me" I shouted at him in frustration and rushed back to my room not listening to his bull shit explanations any further.

why did he kiss me? does he love me? then why is he marrying her?

The havoc inside my head turned me into crazy. as I walk upstairs the stairs felt like rotating itself. Jumping on my bed I cried like a kid and cursed myself for loving that idiot.

The next day without any interaction, both of us avoided each other. As per Wincy's wish, a party was held at the mansion, a day before the wedding comprising many business tycoons and it was quite grand.

Wincy was quite impressed by my work. During the party, all the couples were requested to dance at the ball. When everyone stepped in with their partners including Gautham with Sherly and Aravind with Wincy, Nithish stretched out his hand towards me signing at me to dance with him. Ignoring Gautham's intense glare I nodded at Nithish and joined him. As we dance he placed his one hand at my waist and held up straight my other hand with another one. As he held me tight I noticed Gautham's grief-filled eyes. Although we were dancing with our partners our eyes were glued onto each other. when the dance came to the near end we started switching the partners at regular intervals along with the beat.

The moment Gautham held my hand I felt intense shock pass through me. Even after much chaos, my heart fluttered for him. His eyes were full of guilt trying to convey me something but his lips remained tightly shut. Lost in his eyes I miss placed my feet and fell down with a thud breaking my shoe heals. Immediately gautham held me in his arm and rushed toward a nearby room. Later, Nithish took over his position and treated my wound.

That day night when I kept crawling to either side of the bed struggling to sleep, I heard someone knock at my door and it was Gautham. He offered me pain relief medicine for the wound.

"you don't love Sherly then why are you doing this to her?", I asked out before he could leave

"Yeah, you are right I don't love Sherly but I do love my brother"

"do you think it's the right decision?"

"it's too late now to decide", he headed back to his room leaving me sleepless.

And it was the wedding day the arrangements were at peak although I was hurt I managed to finish my work on time with Nithish and Harini's help. Wincy and Sherly were dressed like an angel beautifully in their respective white gown.

"you both look beautiful!" I exclaimed at them.

"well even you look pretty" sherly smiled back

does she deserves this? huh, I feel pity for her

"Keerthi, do me a favor please go and cheek the groom's side and report me if everything is okay, Aravind is dull since last night and now he is not answering my calls," Wincy muttered

"Don't worry mam I will look into"

****

Knocking at the groom's door, I entered the room. The boys were lost in thoughts sitting on the couch not noticing my presence. Later after I waved my hand before them they finally noticed me.

"oh Keerthi what makes you show up here, do you have something to tell him-" after a pause, Aravind completed it as "or me". Although I found it to be quite wired, considering the fact that it is not the right moment to question him I Ignored it and informed him that Wincy is worried for him. He excused himself out of the room to speak to her. when I was about to leave the room Gautham spoke out,

"is your leg fine now?"

"better"

As I headed towards the door, I turned around to look at him for one last time and found him staring at me. On reminiscing the fact that he is about to get married, Instead of confessing my real feelings I wished him 'Happy married life' and bided him farewell.
