Love Me If You Dare

9 - Shattered dreams

Lechu's pov

Counting my each heartbeat I waited inside his room at night. I was mentally prepared to face Dev but somewhere I lacked confidence. What he gonna do ? That thought made me vulnerable. If he say anything about my appa then I won't be control myself.

I heard someone opening the door and I stood from couch taking a deep breath. As expected it was Dev. He stood behind closed staring at me then walked slowly towards me with a dirty smirk on his face. I didn't move....why should I ? Or I was scared to move an inch.

" Silent ? " He asked with a scoff.

" What act was that before ? Jealousy ? Frustration ? Or hate for me which you let you out on Lavanya ? " He asked after coming and sitting on couch like a boss with full on attitude.

" I can explain..... .. "

" You should " he said cutting me off.

" I tripped over her. Trust me ..... Lavanya forwarded her leg all of sudden and I tripped that's what happened. Whether she did it accidentally or intentionally only she knows " I said but Dev was silent. He silently heard what I said.

" Hmm..... " And just hummed like he accepted what I said. What is happening ? He got convinced ? Just like that ? I was still in a fear and watched his each actions. He was focused on something in his phone.

" Can I get a cup of hot black coffee ? No sugar, no cream, no stir " he asked, most probably to me because there wasn't anyone inside the room.

" Su... Sure... " Doubtfully though I agreed and walked out to get him coffee.

I asked one of the maid to make a cup of coffee for Dev after going down. They know his preference so I didn't needed to give all those details.
Maid kept the cup on a tray and handed it to me.

" Me ? You walk ahead I will behind you " I said. Why should I carry that to room ? That is maid's job.

" Mam, I think you don't know about this matter but if Dev sir is asked for somthing then that person should give it to him no matter what. That's his rule or he will get mad. " Maid said to me very politely. What kind of rule is this ?

" Is it ? Then give it to me " I took the tray from her and walked towards his room. Agrhh this is so difficult. Saree, tray, hot coffee and stairs.... I somehow climbed the stairs without spilling coffee and made it till his room.

" Coffee...." I said in a mild tone keeping the tray on the small glass table in front of him.

I think this is the perfect time to talk about issues. He seems calm and in a good mood. I sat beside him without causing any disturbance.

" What you said in the morning. I ..... I will talk to my appa. I know your loss can't be compensated with anything.... "

I watched him standing up from couch while I was talking. He grabbed his coffee from table and started walking.

" Continue... " He said when I stopped talking.

" Ha .. so what I was saying that, if appa did such a mistake then I .... "

" APPA........" I screamed and jumped from couch juddering my hands.
My skin was burning or stinging I don't understand what kind of pain I was getting. He just poured that hot coffee on my hands. I looked at him all shocked like what he just did now ?

" Oh.... It tripped accidentally from my hand  " he said casually and walked from there.

I was dumb struck like I couldn't say anything. Lechu.... If you don't react now then he is gonna take advantage of my silence later. I clenched my jaw and strides behind Dev with that burning hands of mine.
