Hey Guys! Thanks for all your loving comments, they all mean a lot to me! 🤗Here is Part 5- more of inner feelings 😊 ENJOY!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All those memories again? Me falling into his arms. His anger, his ego screaming at me, tearing up my duppatta, dropping me and hating me to the core. But then my memories changed- the first time he saved me from the car, his eyes searching for me in the construction site, him feeding me water, breaking my fast. Then a sudden shock appeared, all my dreams- happy and sad, disappeared and his hopeless face came in front of my mind again. Him pleading for my help- and my not being able to return it. I screamed 'No!' as I jerked up, only to hit his head hard and fall back in his shoulders. I looked around, and realized what had happened yesterday, his condition, my state. I slowly turned my head and saw his eyes open; he was looking at me, he was awake. He was fine.
He looked at me, his brown mesmerizing eyes bored into mine. I was lost in his eyes for what seemed like forever and I was happy that way- it felt comfortable, it felt home. I watched him, forgetting the situation, forgetting what I would say... not that I would have the courage to open my mouth. I was happy in my world, I was happy that he is fine.

She woke up and her sparkling eyes met mine. I had no idea what to do, what do say- all I knew that I never want this moment to end. I was locked in her eyes, in her arms, in her trance. I lay there, inches away from her, and it was like I had forgotten how to breath, blink and for some strange reason, I felt contented as I could see the same in her eyes. Her breath took over me, I was intoxicated. I wanted to lean in further and not realizing what would happen next... I did. To my surprise, she did not jerk; she did not move an inch. She too had the desperation in her eyes; she too felt what I felt. Just at the moment when I realized she had taken over my heart... Lavanya walked through the door.

He leaned in, and it made my heart beat twice as fast. My mind was telling me to let go of him, to move back, to leave and never come back. But my heart wanted something else- so I didn't jerk as he came in. I saw a sort of powerless emotion in his eyes and I wanted to find out why. My lips were inches away from his, and just as I was losing control over myself, Lavanya walked in.
I jerked out of position, my arms fell to my side, and I felt a sting as I realized what just might have happened. Why didn't I stop myself? Why didn't he back out? Why was I so...powerless? Lavanya eyed me with her staggering eyes, and ran beside him, giving him a tight hug. A strange gut feeling entered within me, restlessness- I noticed that I was not liking her close contact to him. I looked away reassuring myself that it does not matter- besides she is his girlfriend and to be wife. And to my sheer astonishment- a teardrop fell from my eye. I hid and quickly wiped my face- he could not see any of this. But as I looked once again, Lavanya still hugging him, he had no attention towards Lavanya. Instead his eyes were on me. And they too looked like they were not enjoying any of this. But why was I feeling bad? Lavanya has a right to hug him; she has a right to feel upset. But that saddened me even more- as I realized that without any right- I was feeling all these emotions for him.
--
I saw that. The way she looked away, she did not like Lavanya's closeness. I saw her tear and her failed attempt to hide it. She was feeling bad, and to some extent that hurt me too. I could not seem to pay attention to Lavanya's affection towards me; all I could see was that Khushi was hurt. Her eyes found mine again, but I knew that she was reading my thoughts too. She knew that I wasn't enjoying Lavanya's hug. Lavanya has everything a man would want, I thought, but somehow why doesn't she give me the same feelings Khushi arises in me? Why didn't I feel happy to Lavanya's affection? The answer to those questions was lying inside my heart- Lavanya was not Khushi.
