Chapter 18 : Mending the bridges
Snuggling into his chest, she tried to sleep more but couldn't. She was bad at taking naps. She looked at him, he was still sleeping, placing a kiss on his cheeks, she slowly detached herself from him. She checked the time, it was 5 in the evening of past Saturday. She got up and went to washroom. After getting fresh, she planned on waking him up or else he won't get sleep at night.
She went to his side of bed to wake him up, just then his phone pinged, he was in a deep slumber to notice it, but she wasn't and she noticed it. She didn't feel the need of picking up his phone, she could easily read the message on display screen.
Liha: Can we meet today at our usual?
At our usual, what does that mean? They still meet? Is he cheating on her like they did? Is he not being loyal to her? Did he lie to her about all the things?
Not even sparing a single glance at him, she went outside in living room and turned on the tv at the highest volume, intentionally to wake him up.
Loud volume of tv broke his sleep, he rubbed his eyes and looked to the other side, she wasn't there. He checked his phone and saw Liha's message. He swiped it, not caring and shut the phone. He went in living room and saw her sitting on sofa, he dropped himself next to her, a sharp wave of pain hit him in his head, he rubbed his temple.
"Do you want coffee? I'm making it for myself." He asked her, coffee was the only thing that could lessen his headache.
"No." She replied plainly.
"Do you want something to eat?" He again asked.
"No, offer yourself." He frowned at her tone, what happened to her?
He shifted towards her, "Whats wrong? Are you okay?" He asked with concern, despite of his own headache.
"No need to worry about me. You must be getting late. You've to meet Liha too." He closed his eyes, calming himself. Her as usual insecurities and his increasing headache wasn't going well.
"I wasn't planning on meeting her, it was her thing. Nor I want to meet her. And this is what you do when I'm sleeping, you check my phone?"
"Ofcourse not, I never checked your phone. Her messaged appeared on display so I read it."
"Then whats up with this tone already?"
"Why do you've to lie everytime?"
"When did I lie?" He asked.
"Everytime you lie, last time you said she wanted to talk with you thats why you guys met, and now you're saying that she wants to meet you. The least I've known you, no one can force you to meet anyone, and why would she still latch on you if you don't have anything towards her." She said and turned her face towards tv.
"What are you even saying? Is it making sense to you? Ofcourse, I don't have anything towards her. And I'm sorry I can't give you explanations everytime." He said looking at her, who was looking at tv, the volume still high.
"I don't care if it makes sense or not, all I care about is that you're lying to me, you don't even care about me." He threw his hands in air listening to her, that was until he saw the corner of her eye shining.
"What is it with you and crying? Why do you've to cry everytime we argue?"
"And what is it with your way of speaking? Do you realize how harshly you're talking with me. It feels like you're frustrated."
"I am not. And do you realize in what tone you talk with me? Did I ever question on you meeting with Viyaan? Did I ever ask you why are you meeting him or something? You don't even trust me, if I'm saying that I'm only with you that mean I am. Me and Liha are just friends, we meet like normal friends meet. Why do you've to make it a big fuss everytime. Have a little trust on me." He said and sighed at last.
"You mean I make it a fuss out of it? I just normally ask you, and even if I make a fuss then can't you even deal with it?"
"You aren't making any sense. Its better if we don't talk right now." He said and went to his room.
She hugged her knees and was sat on sofa.
He got out of his room wearing his jacket, picked up his car keys.
"Where are you going?" She called him from behind.
He stopped in tracks, "I'll be back in sometime."
"You're going to meet her, right?" He couldn't comprehend the emotions in her voice and left the house without replying to her.
««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»
He reached midway, but pulled gear and drove again back to his place. He had planned on taking her out not going out alone, leaving her restless behind. The more he tries to understand her, the more he fails everytime.
Parking his car outside, he unlocked the door and went inside.
She wasn't in living room. He heard some noise from kitchen and went there, saw her munching on leftover chocolate icecream bucket. Her back was facing him, sitting on shelf.
He smiled and went towards her. Putting his hands on both sides, trapping her in between, he said, "I asked you before leaving if you want to eat something, and now you're here eating icecream."
"I was mad at you that time, that's why." She said taking a spoonful of icecream.
"So now you're not mad at me?"
"I am still, but not that much."
"Why were you even mad at me?"
"Even I don't know. I just overreacted. You know I really have this thing with cheating and all, they did the same-
"I know, you don't have to tell me. I know everything." She looked down stopping the tears.
"Are we done?" She asked him with crystal of tears in her eyes.
"What? Are you mad? Ofcourse, not." He said cupping her cheeks, "We just had a bad argue, thats it. Don't think useless things."
She nodded, putting the ice cream bucket aside.
"And you don't have to worry, I don't know what are we going to do together, but just know you're really special and the things I'm doing for you, I haven't done for anyone. If I'm with you, then I would always stay loyal to you, trust me on this."
"I know, I'm sorry." He wiped her tear.
"As I said, I think I'm falling you. Let me correct the statement, I've actually fallen for you, for real." She smiled, he kissed her forehead.
