The Imperfect Couple (Complete)

Chapter 7

"What? What are you saying? Are you telling me or not?"

"Alright, stop eating my head. Grandma asked me to take you to your mother's house."

She didn't respond for a moment and he thought that finally, she'll keep shut in her happiness.

"Stop, I don't want to go" she spoke with tears brimming in her black eyes.

He didn't stop "What? I thought you'll be more than happy to meet your mom"

Charu's eyes were already flooded with tears. He turned his head to find her sobbing.

"Will you stop crying?" he asked frowning.

Seeing her sobs increasing he threatened her irately stopping the car with a jerk "If you cry anymore, I'll throw you out of the car this instant."

She did not utter a word and started trying to open the doors. Seeing her actually getting out of the car, Adi came out swearing under his breath. This ever crying girl was getting on his nerves now.

He swiftly moved to her side, grabbing her hand he turned her.

"What now? You only asked me to get out," she asked indignantly, still in tears.

"Nothing, get in." he said calmly and then added after a pause, "You can continue with your torture."

Charu smiled in between her tears at his little surrender and looked up.

He probably couldn't blink as unknown warmth filled his heart at the twinkle he saw in her tear-stained eyes. A random thought suddenly struck his mind. How come her tears became a torture to him? This girl was surely going to sway all his wits.

The car stopped in front of the mansion. He hadn't asked her the reason yet, but now he couldn't control. He spoke as she was about to step out "Hey Charu, why didn't you want to go to your mom's place?" he asked putting as much disinterest on his face as he could.

She looked at him and could clearly see the utmost guilty on his face for his own words and was now probably cursing himself for showing such interest in her matter. She wouldn't share her heart with such a' whatever.

But at this moment she was feeling terribly alone. She couldn't even speak her plight to her friends. With all her tries to put up a strong face, she was still a teenager. All that grievances were too much for her to handle.

Adi by now was literally cursing himself. The girl was probably about to take his whole evening for opening her mouth. Had he asked the top secret of the foreign defense agendas of the country from the defense minister? He was irritated and was about to stop her for putting so much pressure on her tiny brain as he wasn't very keen on knowing the reason, when she spoke quietly, "I hate her" in no time her tears again started flowing through her cheeks. But this time, Adi was too shocked to get irritated.

He kept quiet as she continued, "She ' she disowned me." Adi was taken aback at the sudden break down of the girl. Morning when he tried to intimidate her she backfired him and now all sobbing badly when he was actually being 'nice'.

He cupped her moist face in his hands as she continued in between her hiccups "she doesn't love me. She was tired of me so she ruined my life."

Ruined her life? Her words were strangely insulting and discomforting, yet he tried to comfort her unlike his usual behavior "Charu" he said ever so softly still holding her face.

Charu felt so much of concern in his voice that she forgot who he was; she hugged him still in hiccups. It wasn't a complete hug, just her face on his shoulders and her hands on his shirt's sleeves.
