Chapter 37

*Anitha Pov*

The moment he closed the door behind him, I covered my face while finally letting go of the tough exterior I was trying to portray.

Why didn't he believe those words? Why did I say those things in the first place? Didn't I decide to have a normal discussion and express how I felt and everything?

But that just ended up into a mess that I never anticipated. Did I just want to hurt him or something with those words?

I don't know! Maybe I was just trying to escape from confronting him and use these words as an excuse.

When did I become such a coward? I took my hands away to rub my arms still feeling the presence of his warmth.

If I say that even in these conditions, his hug comforted me, would it be wrong? I frowned but wished to hold onto the warmth even more.

"Are you okay?" I glanced up to find Kanika standing near the door.

"I... I ended up saying the things that could have hurt him." I said and she frowned hearing that.

"But he ignored those things and actually tried to console me." I added expressing my surprise regarding that action of his.

"And?" she asked walking closer to the bed.

"And I felt comfort even after everything. I am sad about his actions but I actually felt comfortable with his words and his hug. Is something wrong with me?" I asked her back and she cleared her throat.

"Nothing is wrong with you. You love him and it doesn't just go away like that. Take your time to understand what you want and what you wish from him and then take any decision. Don't think that something is wrong with you just because you can't be detached from your feelings for him completely." She replied smiling.

"Go and freshen up. We will have our dinner. And I forgot to bring spare clothes." She added and I stood up nodding.

"I have some nightwears which I didn't wear even once. You can have them and they are suitable for you too as they are kind of extra size and will be good for your height." I mumbled.

"You are not that shorter than me." She pointed out.

"But still our body types are different and you will feel uncomfortable with my clothes generally, right?" I asked and she nodded after which I walked into the washroom to wash my face.

When I stepped out, I found her placing her phone on the bed and turned to stare at me. I frowned seeing her expression but she calmly asked about my clothes and I immediately searched for the ones I talked about before passing them to her.

"Thank you!" saying that she walked into the washroom while I walked out of the room to take out the plates for both of us.

"Her cooking is good, right?" Kanika asked taking a bite from the food and I gave a slow nod hearing that.

She stared at me with a curious look after seeing my response and I cleared my throat saying, "It's good!"

"Do you need to go anywhere tomorrow?" she asked nodding at my words.

"Yes! The promotions started and tomorrow we will be going to a mini-event near the mall. After that, there is an interview and then I need to go to your husband's office to take the new scripts he already narrowed them to a few." I replied finishing the dinner.

"Have some more!" she said gesturing to another dish.

"No! I am full already. And I placed the second set of keys on the table. Don't forget to keep them with you. Anyway, we are thinking of changing the lock system into the electronic mode and at that time we need not use these keys but until then keep them with you." I said gesturing the keys.
