The Struggling Life (Completed)

chapter 7

The following morning, I was ready and standing in front of his room door. I was hesitant to knock his door. 'Should I or not? How will I face him after what happened last night? Am I only one who is over thinking? I should behave normal.'  I knocked the door. He might be sleeping. As I turned back to leave. He opened the door. I asked him normally, "have you taken your breakfast?" He shook his head with no.
"Get ready. After taking your breakfast, you should have take your medicine. I am waiting for you canteen.
He nodded and I left. I went to canteen and waited for him. He was normal. I was only one who was over thinking. I checked my phone for today schedule.
"So you got up early morning?" I heard his voice. I looked up from my mobile. He was already sat in front of me.
"I always do." I told him. "We have some meetings to attend. Hence you are injured so you can rest today. I will attend alone."
"Don't you think we need to talk about yesterday?" He looked at me.
"I don't" I took the bite of bread.
"Oh come on, we kissed.." he stopped as I looked at him with raising my eyebrows. "I mean I kissed you. Why didn't you stop me?"
"Your hand is injured but it effects on your head. Finish your breakfast, take medicine and rest. I am busy. I gave no time for your nonsense." I tried to change the topic because I didn't know how to face the situation.
"Do you like me?" He asked with raising his eyebrows.
"Just shut up and eat your breakfast." I scolded him.
"Don't change the topic. How can you behave normal after what happened yesterday?" He said in high volume.
"Because I am not childish. I should get angry hence it was my first kiss but I am not. Because I don't want to discuss it."
"What! It was your first kiss." He looked surprised. I thought he would stop but he didn't. He smirked, "it means I am experienced than you in this field. I need to teach you more. It's exciting." I was feeling embrassed.
"Just shut up. I am leaving for meeting. Take your medicine after finishing your breakfast." I stood up.
"How can you go without your boyfriend?" He asked with raising his eyebrows.
"What boyfriend?" I asked with shocked.
"Me" he pointed towards himself. I glared at him. He explained, "I kissed you and you didn't object it. It means I am your boyfriend and you are my girlfriend. So don't think to leave me alone here."
I took a deep breath, "I don't know what are you bubbling." I took steps towards my room for taking my bag.
He followed me and came in front of me. "I am also going with you. Atleast,   I can spend time with you like that. Wait for me I am coming after getting ready." And he went to his room fastly. I smiled.

I was getting ready for going sahil's house. I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. I heard the knock on my door. I opened the door. It was Kunal. He looked at me and asked, "where are you going this time?"
"I have invitation for dinner at his house for discussion about project." I told him with getting ready my handbag.
"Why didn't you tell me? I need time to get ready." He said with laziness.
"I am going alone." I told him.
"Why?"
"Because we have discuss something." I told him with taking deep breath.
"About what?" He asked with jealous.
I looked at him, "I can't tell you now. Don't  you trust me? I need to go alone." I asked him with concerned.
He came close me, "I do. But you do behave different in front of him and I don't know why? It's driving me crazy." He told with honestly.
"Trust me. I will tell you everything soon. Just wait." I assured him.
He took a deep breath and nodded, "okay but don't cheat on me."
I smiled, "I don't."
"I am going my room before I will change my mind. Come back at time." He opened the door.
"Sure" I smiled. Sometimes I confused why he likes me? But it was not time to think about it. I had my all of strength to face what was happening next.

I reached at his house. There were a lot of bad memories with that house. That house changed our sisters completely. I lost my sister because of that house. I took deep breath and took steps forward.
I entered the house. He was waiting for me at hall. He looked at me and smiled, "hello finally you came."
"I have to" I told with smile.
We were at dinning table. I looked my surroundings and asked, "so you live here alone."
He sighed, "you can say that. My sister is married. And my father mostly stayed abroad for business purposes."
"Oh.... So what do you think about project?"
"Why don't we finish dinner first?" He asked.
"As you wish." I told with smile.
After dinner, he asked, "what about you taking drink?"
"Never mind." I told him.
He took the glasses and bottle. He poured for me and for himself. We tossed and I drank little but he drank in one sip.
He put the glass on table and asked with looking me, "so you came here for project or something else."
I looked at him, "pardon me."
He laughed, "can you stop acting as we can discuss directly? Do you think I didn't recognize you, Manya?"
I took a deep breath and smiled, "it's so relaxing. Actually, I am tired to act in front of you. I was confused that you recognized me or not. I thought you forgot me. But how can you forget me after doing it?" I shouted with anger.
"So why have you come back? Did you miss me or do you want your revenge?" He asked with raising his eyebrows.
I smirked, "you don't know why I have come back. How much you are naive?" I glared him.
"You know I am not naive. I can't change past but what I can do that I am sorry." He looked at me with pledge.
"Just stop pretending when you are not. I am not here to listen it." I told him with anger. "I am here for my sister. Where is she?"
"But... " He wanted to say something. But he stopped. He looked at my eyes, "what do you mean by your sister? You left with your sister. How do I know about your sister? I didn't mean to harm Nikki. I said it that night to scare you. I seriously don't know where she is?"
"I am not talking about Nikki. I am talking about Richa.  She didn't come with us because of you. Why? Where is she?" I shouted with all my strength.
"What Richa? I don't know about her also. I know that she also left with you. After that, I don't know anything." He said with concerned.
"What do you mean you don't know anything? You and your father didn't didn't track us. And you came to hotel that day" I asked him.
"Yeah, it's true. We tracked your mobiles. We went there for you but you left before reaching us. After that we didn't follow you."
"Don't lie me. I know you know about Richa. She didn't come with us because of you."
"I am telling the truth. I don't know. We let you and your sisters go that day."
"Why?" I asked.
"Why?" He laughed. "Because I told Dad to let you go." He sighed, "I asked you that day what do you want? Why didn't you tell me that you want your freedom?" He asked me with thinking.
"Would you let me go if I asked you." I asked him with anger.
"Never, I didn't let you go." He said himself. He asked, "don't you want to know why did I do it with you?" I didn't say anything. I wanted to know but I didn't also want to hear anything.
When I didn't say anything, he continued, "when my father took you and your sisters to our house, you were the only one who took my concern. Somya was angry with you because of it. But you never looked at me. That's why I was angry. I wanted you only spend your time with me, talk with me. When I saw you with other boy, I got jealous." He laughed lightly. "I was so stupid. I thought I can you to stay with me only one way. I know I did horrible things with you. But you started to listen me that's why I got encourage that I was success you to stay by my side. Seriously, I had no intention to hurt your sister. I was drank that day. I mistakenly slipped your sister name from my mouth. Why didn't you slap me that day? Why did you leave me alone? I know you can't give me apology for what I did with you. I have hope one day you will come for me. And you came."
The tears came out from my eyes without effort. I wiped my tears from my fingers and told him, "I am not here to listen it. I am here for my sister."
He looked at me. He had tears in his eyes. He closed his eyes for seconds and opened it, "we went to hotel for you and your sisters but you left before reaching us. My father wanted to search you but I told him to stop. I asked you what do you want from me.  I gave your freedom because I knew you want it. I am saying truth we didn't search for you and your sisters."
"It means you don't know where is she?" I looked at him and he shook his head with no.
"Then where is she?" I mumred to myself.
"Don't worry. I will help you to find her. May be! You can give me appolized after it." He said with looking into my eyes.

When I reached at hotel, Kunal was waiting for me in front of my room. He looked at me and rushed towards me, "why are you so late? I am getting worried for you." He looked at me and asked with concerned, "what happened? Did you cry?"
I blinked my eyes many times and put smile on my lips, "it's getting late. Go to your room. Talk to you tomorrow. I am tired. I want to take rest."
I ignored him and unlocked my room.  I entered into my room. As I was going to close the door from inside, he opened it and came inside, "ok, I won't say anything. I can't stay with you for some mintues."
I didn't say anything. And took out my nightwear from wardrobe and went to bathroom for changing. When I came out, he was there. I asked him, "why are you here?"
"I told you I want to stay with you."
"I want to rest." I told him with ensured. He held my hand and forced me to sit next to him, "if you want rest, put your head on my lap."
"But..." He put his finger on my lips.
"Sometimes you should listen me. After all I am your boyfriend." He said with smile.
I didn't say anything and laid on bed with putting my hand on his lap. He was caressing my head. I didn't know when I slept.
