Till The End

Chapter 25 - Realization

Jim's POV :

Finally we stop. She's still grabbing me tight spinning her arms around my neck while I'm still hugging her waist. I don't wan to release her. I know people around are gazing us with their eyes open but I love to hold her. Every single thing about Eila enchants me. I love the way she smiles, the way she laughs, her carefree attitude, the way she stumbles each time, the way she blushes upon seeing me, the way she looks at me, the way she holds me. I...I LOVE HER. Damn, I love her. I don't know if she feels the same for me or not but I love her like no other. Why did it take so long for me to realize this? I'm such an idiot. I need to confess my feelings to her. But how? I never did that before nor before this I felt like such for someone. I don't wanna lose her ever. 

Eila's POV :

Life's really weird. I never thought I can fall for someone. But Jim... he brings me out of my comfort zone whenever I'm with him. Each time I'm with him feels like an eternity. I don't wanna lose him, never ever. I'm loving the way he's holding me, I love every single thing about him and mostly his weird robotic nature. He's not like other boys. He's different. I love the way he cares for me, the way he looks at me, the way he smiles, the way he claimed to be my boyfriend. I..LOVE HIM. It's not easy for me to fall for someone but I did. He heals me like no other. But will I be able to confess my feelings to him? 

We loosen out grab over each other and I look up to face him. I can feel a certain kind of closeness in his eyes. An eagerness to say something. I don't know why but it feels like he wanna say the same thing which I wishes to say. The awkward silence in between our eyes is too deep to melt in words. I want to say that I love him but I can't. I am afraid to do so. This fear is different. 

"Jim. Eila. Hey..Jim, Eila", as we both are lost into each other we never realize when Sam's calling us from behind. We release our embrace only to realize the bunch of people around us staring at us and some are even assuming us to be couples as we hear, "They both look so cute together, right?", "Owww.. Such a lovely couple" and so on. Wrapped with blush and a mixed feeling of hesitation we both come aside from being the center of attraction. Jim goes towards Sam and I go on the other side where Emi's staring at me with shock. As soon as I'm next to her she begins, "Now explain. What's going on?".

"What?" I ask her back though I know what she's talking about.

"Don't act. I saw how you both were clung to each other all through the time. Eila..What's going on?" She holds my arms and there's a mixed smile on her face and I know she can somehow guess my feelings. 

"Emi...." , my head.. headache.. suddenly things are becoming blur in front of my eyes. I am losing my balance. 

"Eila.. Eila. Are you okay? Eila", Emi holds me as I was about to stumble and makes me sit on a couch. "You wait, I'm bringing water", I think now I'm getting normal. But this headache is still not shrugging off. "Here drink it", as Emi makes me drink the glass of water I properly come back to my senses and realize I was about to faint a while back. Maybe my blood pressure again turned low. "What happened? I think we should see a doctor. Come let's go", Emi's concerned.

"No.. no. No need of a doctor. It's just my usual headache. I think my pressure again got low. I need to take my medicines. I'll be alright then", I reply but then I realize my medicines are at our cottage which takes almost 20 minutes from here by foot.

"Then tell me, where's your medicine? I'm bringing it for you. Tell me".

"Emi. It's in our cottage. You stay here. I'll go by myself. You enjoy the party", I say to her since I don't want to spoil her night because of me.

"Are you mad? I'm not gonna leave you alone. Come, I'll go with you", but no. She should stay here with Tacker.

"Listen to me. I'm okay now. I can manage myself. Please you don't have to come. See there Tacker's waiting for you", I explain her but I'm sure she's not gonna agree so easily.

"I don't care. You're more important to me right now. I can't leave you alone. I coming with you, that's it".

"No, you won't. Listen. Everyone's here. It won't look good if both of us disappear all on a sudden. Moreover, I wanna go and take some rest. Maybe I'll sleep for a while. So, what'll you do coming with me? It's better you stay here. Now I'm alright. I can go by myself. Please", I request and now I think she's gonna listen to me. 

"Okay fine. Come , I'll accompany you till outside", she says.

"Okay madam".

As we head outside we see Jim standing there doing something on his phone. Seeing me he comes near, "Are you going back?" 

"Yeah. She's not feeling well, so she's going but insisted me to stay here", Emi replies for me.

"Why? What happened? Are you okay?" Jim asks and I can visibly notice the clear lines of concern on his face.

"Yeah.. I'm okay..", as I was about to answer, Emi says, "No. She's not. She almost fainted inside and now pretending to be okay."

"Emi", I glare at her for saying all this to Jim.

"You shouldn't go alone. I'll go with you", Jim retorts strongly. 

"Well then. Now I don't have to worry", Emi chuckles.

"No. I'm alright. I can manage", I defend but as far as I have known him, he's not gonna listen I guess.

"I will go with you", so now I have nothing to say since he's coming anyway.

"Alright then take care", Emi waves a bye as we start walking.

On our way back, we remain almost silent for some moments. Though we both are walking together but there's a gap between us which I wanna fill. Finally Jim breaks the silence, "Why you fainted all of a sudden?"

"I didn't faint. I was about to faint", I correct him with with a grin. "I guess my blood pressure got low again. So I am going back to take my medicines."

"Blood pressure got low? But why? Have you seen any doctor?" He asks concerningly. That's what I love about him.

"Umm..No. It's not needed. It's normal. Once I take my medicine I'll be alright", I assure. At the same time I keep thinking as to why he cares for me so much?

"But I suggest you should see a doctor to be sure that it's nothing major", he faces me.

"It's just the pressure nothing major. I'm good", I respond with a smile and notice that we reached our cottage. 

Entering inside Jim and I greet Droophy uncle who didn't attend the party in spite of our insisting so much.  After which I go back to my room where Jim accompanies me till my doorway. While I take my medicines bringing it out of my bag, Jim keeps standing there to see if I'm okay or not.

"Okay, now you better take rest for a while. I'll go to my room", as he turns I stop him,"Jim".

He faces me back without saying anything. "Don't go", I said.

"Huh?" He asks in confusion.

"I mean, let's go to the seaside. We came yesterday but yet didn't go there for once. I really wanna go now since tomorrow we'll be leaving this place".

Jim looks at his wrist watch before replying,"Are you sure? It's almost 10 at night. I guess no one's there right now."

"I know and that's why I wanna go now. It'll be fun. Only us. No crowd", I reply imagining the fact that indeed it'll be just us. I'll be there alone with the guy I love so much though I didn't tell him yet.

"Okay", he chuckles.
