Chapter 17
She looked at swayam and said "I am ready to marry you" and then once again hugged her dadi while swayam couldn't believe his ears. He felt at the top of the world and just then her dadi winked at him which made him extremely confused and then her dadi grinned at him mouthing "all the best" and he couldn't help but grin back.
Sharon helped her dadi in standing up and noticed swayam's hand was fixed on his stomach upon his wound. Then she remembered the punch he received earlier and felt bad for him. He was taking slow and very small steps and she could see he was struggling hard to stop himself from wincing in pain. Her dadi suddenly called out to Swayam who was a few steps ahead of them and turned around to look her dadi. While she said "don't go home…it looks as if u r in pain…don't drive in this condition" Sharon didn't say anything. She herself didn't want him to drive like this but he protested "But dadi…" but she cut him off and said "look at the time its 4:00 am…rest here and then tomorrow we will go to the court to get you two married" Sharon asked her "tomorrow? No today? Why so soon?" her dadi replied "I don't want you be alone even for a second now" Sharon was about to protest but her dadi was already walking out the room leaving the two of them alone saying "I will go and take out a wonderful dress for you" and Sharon couldn't refuse hearing her excited and happy after such a long time.
They both were left alone in the room which was filled with an awkward silence. His eyes were fixed on her and she was trying to calm down the beating of her heart. Even though she wanted to but she couldn't get rid of the fear of being left alone again. She didn't want to experience having someone special in life because she was scared one day she would lose him and then would have to live alone all over again. She had taken very long time and was still in process of learning to bare this feeling. She didn't want to start over again. She was scared to love again and he was breaking all those walls she had built around her heart easily. She didn't want that and she had no idea how she was gonna live with him but she knew she had no other option. Her big ego would not let her borrow money from him and her dadi's health mattered to her a lot. Guess it was another game of fate but this time she won't lose just two months and then she would go far away from him and convince her dadi that she is indeed happy without him. She finally raised her head and regretted meeting his eyes because then she was not able to look away.
They kept looking at each other both of them not believing the fact that they were finally getting married. He desperately needed her to know that this time he won't leave her. He will be there for her when she needed him and even when she didn't need him. He will be there like her shadow and would never let any harm come her way ever again. But as soon as he opened his mouth to say something she looked away and said "I'll show u ur room" while he simply nodded and then followed her to the room she took him to. Her pace was very fast she just wanted to show him his room and then go away from him and he was trying hard to keep up with her and doing so hurt and his expressions finally twisted in pain and the bleeding increased and soaked his shirt. He could feel something wet beneath his hand which was still resting tightly upon his wound he didn't want her to know about the bleeding. They finally reached the room and Sharon said with her back towards him "you can sleep here" then she turned around to leave and saw his face twisted in agony while him trying hard to mask it. Her gaze then fell down on his hand and she saw his hand covered in blood a few drops even down on the floor and felt her heart stop beating. How could she forget! He must be in so much pain for so long and she was busy taking out her anger on him. He saw her looking at his hand and quickly covered it with his jacket while she turned on her heels and walked away.
He was sitting on the bed while his head was resting against the head board and his eyes were closed. He had taken off his jacket and placed some tissue papers on the wound and looked so pale as if he would pass out any second. She came in his room once again with a first aid kit in her hands. She looked at him and felt really bad for him once again she felt herself responsible for his condition and felt like crying seeing him in so much pain. He sensed someone's presence in the room and opened his eyes only to find her looking at him. He tried sitting up but she signaled him to keep sitting and went and placed the box on the side table telling him to clean the wound and take some pain killers. He nodded his head and then she once again walked towards the room. She turned around once to look at him and saw him struggling with his shirt buttons. Little moments were giving him so much pain. Her heart once again stopped beating and it hurt somewhere while she said "stop"
He looked at her stopped with his actions while she mumbled "I'll do it for you" he thought he heard her wrong and then she said while going out of his room once again "wait for me" she back after a minute holding a bowl full of water in her hands and he was still in the same position not even moved an inch. She placed the bowl on the side table and then sat on the bed next to him. She hesitated at first but then moved her hands forward and started unbuttoning his shirt all this while he kept looking at her which did funny things to her. She was done with the buttons so then she helped him take off his shirt. Her hands brushed against his exposed skin and both of them felt their skin burn. It was a very intense feeling which both of them felt after a very long time. She threw the dirty shirt on the floor and then looked at his wound. The stiches were still good so that meant he didn't need to be taken to the hospital. She took some cotton and wiped the blood from his wound being very careful to not brush her fingers against his skin and to not drool over him. On the other hand it was equally hard for him to keep his emotions and desires in control. He didn't look away from her even for a second and curled his hands into fists to stop him from cupping her face and stroking her cheek. After wiping the excess blood from his wound she dipped some cotton in water and then wiped the dried blood off of him. The little water droplets flowed down his stomach and then were soaked in the waist band of his jeans and she tried hard to control the aching in her fingers to wipe them off. Finally his wound was clean and the she applied some medicine on it. After that she placed clean cotton on the wound and then took the bandage and also placed it on the wound. She had to move the roll of bandage across his back and she hesitated in doing so at first but then finally moved closer to him to do it. It seemed as if she was hugging him and her hot breath danced on his chest which made his senses go wild and his heart beat erratically. When she was finally done with the bandage she quickly moved away from him and they looked in each other's eyes.
There was no much love held for each other in their eyes then why was there a glass wall between them. They could see each other feel each other but couldn't cross the glass wall and it hurt to be apart. She was losing herself badly and knew that she had to control herself before things get out of hand so she stood up from the bed and said "I want you to know that I am only marrying you because of dadi…just two months and she will be better and also I will be able to pay you back after that I will go on my own way…just know that there won't be any kind of relation between us after we are married and.." he completed her sentence for her "don't worry I know my limits…I will never cross them" she nodded and didn't know why it hurt and then left while he watched her retreating figure equally hurt but this just made him even more confident to win her love again. He will make her fall for him; he just prayed that this time she will allow herself to love him again.
