Arshi FF: Destined To Love #2 LINK TO#3 Pg151 - Page 65

" why do i feel that you're trying to move away from me?" his grip was hard and jaws clenched. Her gaze travelled from his hand that was holding her to his face and she pulled her hand back.

" arnav ji, eventually i have to move away ." With every passing moment, the day when she would have to leave him forever was fast approaching. No matter how much they desired to stop the clock from ticking a moment would come when eventually they would have to part ways. Therefore she felt it would be better for both of them if they kept distance from now on, it might hurt less later on. Today she was forcing her mind to think practically but his was refusing to accept any kind of logic.

" what do you mean ?" he asked through greeted teeth. Her sudden change in attitude was getting on his nerves and he was demanding an answer. Keeping her hand on her belly she smirked and said," he'll come and i'll leave. forever." Her words that always soothed his heart were today piercing it and he wondered was she enjoying seeing him wounded?

" i know that , you don't have to remind me." He was now seething in anger, of course he knew that after delivery she would go away but why was she talking about leaving him now? Why was she avoiding him now? She met his blazing eyes that were furious yet couldn't hide the fact that he loved her immensely and this love was blinding his vision, he couldn't see that their love would destroy everything around. All relationship would be in tatters if they pursued it. She clearly understood what he was going through, she had felt the same when laxmi had attempted to stop her rebellious heart from loving him and unknowingly dreaming a future with him, when laxmi could see that together they had no future. Like her it would be extremely difficult for him to accept this truth but he would have to'sooner or later.

Still holding on to his intense gaze that was trying hard to intimidate her, she kept her ground and replied, " i have to remind because you seem to have forgotten everything ." The deal and its terms were somewhere losing their meaning and she needed to remind him about them. Pursing his lips he startled her by taking a step forward. He was now towering over her as he growled, " tell me, what have i forgotten ?" no, she couldn't afford to get weak in front of him, holding up her chin, she one more time touched her stomach and answered," that except for this baby , there's nothing between us. absolutely nothing . never was and never will." She stressed a little more on her last words that shook him, there was and could be nothing between them! The overwhelming painful look on his face said it all, she had shattered his heart and for that she wanted to kill herself! His senses were numb and he was trying to absorb her words and failed to notice that she had quietly left the place.

He curled his fingers in a fist as blood started to boil in his veins. What did she mean by saying that she came into his life only to leave, if that was the case then why the hell did she come in the first place, he didn't invite her. He was leading a dark, lonely life, it was she who brought him out of this darkness and loneliness. It was she who made him look at the world and himself differently. Yes, they were connected to each other because of the baby but if that was the only thing binding them then why did she continue to interact with him after the night he had impregnated her? she should have confined herself to nurturing the seed that he had sown inside her instead she began spending time with him. If there was nothing else between them then why did it disturb her to see him wallowing in self pity? Why did she lift the heavy burden of guilt that was killing him and his consciousness?

He brushed his fingers through his hair in frustration, the last two days that were painful yet so beautiful, didn't they mean anything to her? was really nothing between them?

NO, she was lying. She didn't have the right to enter and leave his life as per her whims and fancies. He wouldn't allow her to play with his feelings and life. He knew she loved him, he had seen it in her eyes but now he wanted to know why she was hell bent on crushing it. She owed him an explanation!
