His last breath(Completed✔)

Chapter 20

"Arjun, if you werent there on time... They would.. would have.. rape me... I was... scared...You...saved me.." I stammered. 

"I wont let anything happen to you Anjali," he cut me off. I hugged him tightly and thanked him again. He asked me to lie down and sleep. But, sleep was faraway for me. He left me to myself and went to buy breakfast. I called Sid to inform him that I will be coming back late.

I told him everything that happened including how Arjun saved me. "I told you Anjali, that Raghav is up to no good. You use this as a reason and call off your engagement with him," he said and I chuckled. "Idiot I am telling you that I was nearly raped and all you think of is my marriage?" I asked him and he sighed.

"Do you now understand why you need Arjun? You need him to protect you. Just imagine if he didn't care about you, then..." he could not continue. "Anjali, give him a chance ma.. he deserve it. He loves you so much. Can't you see it?" he asked me and I teared up. The next few minutes went on him convincing me to give a chance with me just nodding.

Sid's word did effect me. I just ended the call, saying I will think about it. I just mentally thanked god for sending Arjun. My respect for Arjun increased abundantly. I kept pondering on Sid's word until sleep engulfed me.

Arjun POV

When I came back after buying breakfast, I saw her sleeping peacefully. I promised her I will take care of her. And I will do anything to give her the peace she wanted. I could not bring myself to wake her up. I just sat on the couch and watched her sleep peacefully.

"Arjun...Arjun..." I heard her voice. Shit, when have I fall asleep? 

"Anjali? Is everything okay?" I asked her.

"Yes Arjun. Everything is fine. I saw you sleeping uncomfortably on the couch. Why don't you sleep in the bed?" she asked me.

"Nahh, that's fine. Have you had your breakfast?" asked her.

"Not yet, I was waiting for you. Come lets eat together," she said. It was a simple action but it brought enormous happiness to me. I wanted to do every single thing together with her. Be it having breakfast or shopping or vacation or anything. I will be happy as long as I do it with her.

"Yeah sure," I said and we both started digging in.

"Thank you so much Arjun," she said as soon as she finished eating breakfast.

"For the breakfast?" I chuckled and she just smiled sadly.

"You know Arjun, when I saw Raghav was the one who kidnapped me, I was so shocked. I thought he was innocent. But, he got the same evilness as his parents. Children becoming bad person is solely because of parents, don't you think?"

"Yeah, mostly. But, in some cases, parents try their best to control their children but failed to do so. I mean no parent would want their child to be bad right? Sometimes it's the surrounding that makes the child bad. A busy parents, a bad friend, a lonely situation. There are many reasons for that. You can't just blame parents all together. But in this case, since your uncle and aunt have bad intentions, then nothing to be surprised Raghav turned out like this," I said honestly.

"Yeah, anyway thanks once again. Really if you weren't there at the right time, I just could not imagine the consequences. I would do anything for you to show my gratitude," she said. Even I could not imagine the consequences. I just knew, I had to protect her.

"Do anything for me? Anything?" I asked her.

"Yes, as long as I am capable of doing it," she said.

"Okay, listen what I am going to ask, its really something you are capable of doing. So, tell me. Would you do that for me?" I asked her.

"Arjun, why are being so mysterious. I am a woman of word. You can trust me with this. Looks like you already planned something. Just ask me," she said.

"Okay, you promised. Listen I want you to talk. Tell me why you reject me? I want to know everything that happened in your past that is stopping you from being together with me," I asked her and waited for her reaction. Her smile vanished and tears formed in her eyes.

"Arjun, I cant do that.. Please ask me anything but this. I really don't want to tell this," she said.

"Anjali, I don't mean to make you cry. I know you love me. But you are not accepting it and.. Listen Anjali, think from my point of view. The only girl that I have ever love in my life, rejects me even though she loves me, and that too without telling me the reasons. I am dying here Anjali. I know you have some problems, but we can sort it out together okay?" I told her hoping she would give 'us' a chance.

"Arjun, if I said that, you will never view me the same again. I am scared to be judged by you," she said. Why does she think like that? Why would I judge her?

"Try me, Anjali" I said turning my back to her so that she won't see my tears. After a moment of silence, I turned around to face her only to find her sobbing silently.

"Anjali, please don't cry. I don't want to hear anything. I wont force you. I will wait until you feel comfortable to talk about it. I will wait for you. Please don't cry," I said and hugged her tightly.

"I am a murderer Arjun. I am a MURDERER," she said while crying. 

"What do you mean, Anjali?" I asked her,shocked.

"I killed my own brother Arjun," she said, crying covering her face.
