Myra's POV
"Hey Myra" I felt an arm around my shoulder from behind.
Before, I was checking medicine pad for Granny. She was sleeping under medicines effect.
"Andrew what happened?" We were always comfortable with each other.
"Nothing"
"Are you here?" I asked still observing medicine dosage.
"Yes just finished my duty."
"Are you not leaving?"
"Yes I am. But I wanted to tell you something." He fumbled.
I nodded encouraging him to talk.
"I am going to my parents house. It's Mom's birthday."
"Ohh that's great. I will call Mrs. Jones to wish."
"It's kinda a family dinner and I want to take you with me. Please don't say no." He begged cutely.
"Andrew but it's your family time and I am an outsider. So."
"Come on you can be a part of our small family..... if you want."
I know Andrew has feelings for me. Last time he had proposed to me as well.
"Myra, please, please say yes dear."
'It's going to be difficult.' I bit my inner cheek.
"I know you need some time but I really like you and we can date for sometime."
"Andrew, I hope you know where we are standing? In ICU that too in my Granny's cabin. Thank god she is sleeping." I passed quick glance at Granny. I tried to keep it casual.
" Please Myra, at least let's give us one chance. Let's see if we can work out together. May be we will..." He became serious all of a sudden.
'No please no Andrew don't make it too hard for me.'
"Andrew please don't make it uncomfortable for me. You know... I can't. Sorry. Please." I trailed off looking everywhere but not at him.
"But.."
"Andrew I am committed to someone." I did not let him finish.
Finally, I had to accept the reality of my life. I hate myself to break his heart.
His moist eyes tried to peep inside my soul. I held his hand in mine.
"I don't want to give you any false hopes. You are a wonderful person and any girl will be lucky with you but I am not that lucky one. Please try to understand."
"Who is that lucky guy?" He blinked his eyes looking everywhere.
"Give me some time, I will personally tell you everything."
"Are you sure?"
I just nodded my head still staring at his face. I gulped for a moment.
"I can... I can understand." He chocked.
He turned to go out but swiftly turned to pull me in bone crushing hug.
"I jealous of him whoever he is?"
"Andrew" I just caressed his back.
"Just stay here for a moment." I felt his one tear dropped on my shoulder.
After a moment he broke our hug, stared at my face for a moment before leaving.
'I am sorry Andrew. But I am helpless.'
