Second Chance

Chapter-44

Arjun's Pov

"Oh god!"I muttered.

She didn't respond,she is sleeping.My eyes are staring at her.

I am undergoing an emotional turmoil.What is wrong with this girl?She chose Prajwal.The thought itself killing me!

Does she know that truth?! He is my sibling!?

What about Sunitha aunty?Does she know about him?I think she has a soft corner towards him.After all,He played the role of a saviour infront of her?.I just gave a punch to the steering wheel.What more I can do?

I am speechless.Are they playing a prank with me?Why does pradeep support him?Why would he hide anything from me?Several questions are running in my mind.

"Should I give up?"I asked myself.

"She doesn't love me!"I instinct spat me hard.

"Priya!"I called her.

"Priya"I felt gloomy suddenly and became speechless.

"What?"She murmured something.

"Nothing!"I nodded and looked away.

"What?"She didn't give up.

"I am truly worried about this Traffic jam"I lied.

"Why?"She opened her eyes and peeped through window.

"Me too!,"She nodded.

"What?"I soon asked her as she seems tangled with her own thoughts.

"I think we won't reach home in time"She is truly worried.

"Yes!"I said hiding truth.It can take a night too.

"My phone is not working.I forget to charge it"She showed me her mobile phone.

"I have called aunty already.I informed them both that we got struck here in the middle of the traffic."I looked at her.

She didn't say anything but her eyes are truly tried'

"Don't worry.Would you like to talk with them now?"I am about to give my mobile to her.

"No!"She nodded.

"What?"I asked knitting my eyebrows.

"No need!"She looked away

"Hu...!"I sighed.

"Is there any other way?!"She looked at me.

"No other way,As far I know"I answered.

"Oh my god!"She looked tensed and got down.

"Hey!"I simply followed her.

"Leave the car here,We will go by bus"She declared.

"What?"I didn't get down.

But she didn't stop at all.

"Wait"I locked the car and followed her.

"Are you mad?!"I caught her hand and stopped her.

"This way,Please"She begged.

"Please!"I can see,She is worried.

"Okay!"I am walking behind her.

"Thanks!"She murmured.

I know she is really worried about something,I know,something for sure.

"Any shortcut?!"She looked around and about to cry.

"What?!"I want to confront her.

She is about to fell.I caught her in time.

"Are you fine"I patted her cheek gently.

"Think so!"She mumbled.

"I don't think you can walk,look at you,you look so pale,"I looked straight into her eyes.

"Hmm..."She looked away hiding her tears.

"Let me take you to our Guesthouse,Luckily it's just a furlong away"I insisted.

"Hmm.."She sighed.

I can't take it any more.How can I let her suffer like that?I took into my arms.We almost entered the guesthouse.

She resisted,I didn't give her any chance.

We reached our Guesthouse anyhow.I carried her to one of the rooms.

She didn't say a word.

I placed her on the bed

She managed to sit composed.

"Can I leave?"I asked her with hesitation.

"Hu"She nodded.

"Fine,If you need anything.I will be there in the hall"I added.

"Sure"Her voice is damn low.

"Are you fine?"I asked again.

She didn't respond

I know what is going on.

I have waited for second.

I know what I am doing is wrong.

"Priya"I opened the door from outside.

"Priya"I looked around and saw her lying on bed.

She is sobbing .

"Priya"I went to her lied beside her and dragged her towards me.

"Its unbearable"She whispered.

I placed my hand on her tummy and dragged her towards me.

I am facing her back.

"Do you have those medicines with you?"I asked her.

"No!"She whispered again.

"Oh god!"I patted her back.

"Are you hungry?!"I asked suddenly

"Yes,A bit.But I don't think I can eat"She said.

"I will bring you something"I got up and brought the cake.

"Cake?!"She looked at me questioning.

"Just eat something.you look so weak"I insisted.

"Okay"She took a bite.

I fetch her a glass of water and she drank it slowly.

"How are you feeling now?"I asked her.

"Somewhat better"She said with teary eyes.

"Just sleep for a while"I took her into my arms.

She cuddled close to me,lifted her face and saw straight into my eyes.

"It's unbearable"She said softly.

"Sorry"I dragged her even closer.

"Sleep"I am patting her back.

We both are lying on bed,facing each other.

She slept after a while but not so peacefully.

Priya's Pov.

I opened my eyes slowly.The room looked so peaceful.

I stared at it for a while and realized what had happened.

"Arjun!"I called.

I couldn't find him.

I stood up and yanked my leg .Floor is so cold like ice.

I sat on the bed for a second and stood up

My eyes are searching for Arjun.

I searched each and every corner

I couldn't find him.

"Arjun" I stood there in the centre of the hall murmuring his name like a hymn 

"Priya"He came back.

I turned around and saw Arjun.

"Arjun"I whispered.

"Here are the things you want"He kept a cover in my hand.
