Don't Leave Me #3 *WattpadIndiaAwards*

Chapter 38

*Palak Pov*

Why are they staring at me like that? I thought meeting their stares back and they immediately glanced away. I was lost in my own thoughts from morning because of that person and didn't give much thought about this.

But now they are being too bold and I don't know the reason behind it. Did something happen which I don't know? So, I asked the only person who can answer me directly unlike others.

"They are staring at you? Just ignore them and go home. It's the end of your shift, right?" he asked, not even taking my question seriously.

So, there is really something and he is as usual not being honest. I honestly expressed those thoughts making him stare at me in shock.

"It's not like I am lying to you. I don't want you to feel any pressure. Anyway, someone wrote an article about you being the wife of David. He is still popular you know even after his retirement. So, they are staring at you. He already took down the articles, but the social media is too fast." He explained properly this time and I sighed rubbing my forehead.

"I know you lied for his sake and had to get into this trouble. They will forget it soon and he is trying hard to block all articles. He already called me to make sure no one gives you any trouble." He added with an assuring smile.

"Thank you!" I mumbled, not knowing what else to say before leaving his cabin and decided to go back home still not getting what is he thinking to do all this.

All his actions are definitely not matching with everything he is doing from morning onwards. Am I thinking too much about all this? Maybe... maybe I should have a word with him.

"Bhabhi! Are you my Bhabhi in that way?" I frowned at Jasmine's question as she burst out those words the moment I took a step inside.

"What?" I asked her frowning while Aunty shook her head at her.

"Don't mind her and let her freshen up." She mumbled before glancing at me with a confused look.

"What? Are you ignoring this article, Mom?" Jasmine asked, glancing at her after I returned from my room changing my attire.

Why didn't I think the fact that Jasmine would be able to find about this article matter? So, what should I tell them? And why is Aunty not saying anything and even stopping Jasmine?

"David already said not to give any thoughts to those articles, didn't he? Let's wait for him to return and explain by himself. Don't trouble her like this." Aunty mumbled while I took Eli from the baby stroller which Aunty generally uses while taking care of other things.

"He said that?" I asked, glancing at them and they both nodded making me frown.

In the morning he stopped me from saying anything and then showed an interest in marrying someone else. Now, he is completely striking off all this even near his family.

"He is here." Jasmine mumbled and I turned to find him walking inside while talking to someone on the phone.

"They took down all the articles." He commented hanging up while staring at me and I stared back not saying anything.

He sat down beside before explaining how the people at the party were against us trying to condemn us along with explaining the plan of my brother.

He finished it by saying how I lied so that his plan fails, but somehow the news got out. I continued to listen to his words, but concentrated on Eli, who is playing with my hair.

Why is she so obsessed with our hairs? And mainly of David's but I know I am trying to stop myself from saying anything after listening to his words while questioning about these silly things.
