《Her Innocent Love》52. Stay with me
Advertisement
From that kiss, I couldn't behave normal with Arjun. Everytime I looked at him, my eyes automatically went to his lips and our kissed were keep playing in my mind like a broken tape. It's hard to stay focus when I am with Arjun.
Although I'm not really very sure about Arjun's feeling towards me but I'm sure he were attracted to me maybe sexually. Since I am the only girl he were comfortable and now he in cold war with Sadhana. Probably because of that he kiss me.
Today, I received call from orphanage saying mother suddenly collapsed and need to do surgery urgently.
I was reckless and for now I don't really have any money with me. Most part of my salary will go to Mother's medicines expenses and remaining are for my expenses. I couldn't save money like before.
I have informed to do surgery, we need three lakhs for operation and two lakhs more for ward expenses and medicines.
I don't know what to do. I cannot asked Sandya too because though her in laws accepted her but they still treat like a stranger. I'm scared and I don't know how to collect that big amount in this short period. I was in deep thinking then I saw Arjun walking crossing me.
Arjun! Yes Arjun. He have a lot of money. I can ask his help. But, what will he think of me?. We just only move to next level and now by asking this we will back to starting point. He will hate me and me asking this much money will only proven all their comments about me. I don't want to lose him anymore.
After thinking for awhile, I came to decision to swallow my pride for mother. I cannot play and take risk on her health.
For Arjun, I just don't know. I will left to the fate. If we have destiny to be together then we will doesn't matter what.
With heavy heart, I walked towards his table and without wasting time I asked his favour. I cleared my throat to grab his attention and when he looked at me.
"Ar..jun, Arjun! I need to....ask...your...fa..vour". I paused and takes deep breath. "I...I...actually...hurm...actually...need...5...lakh...hmm...I....want to....borrow...money from you". I stuttering and closed my eyes after finish that hard sentences.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Arjun looked at me with shock expression and questioning look. I have no idea what else to say so I just rooted at my place looking down.
I heard he sighed and clear his throat. I look at him with guilty and sad eyes.
He composed himself.
"Will you tell me why you need that much money suddenly?". He asked me. I shake my head as no. I don't want him to know I wanted money for my mother.
He just look at me for a minute than he sighed heavily.
"Okay. I will give you five lakh but I need something from you if you want money from me. Will you do it?". He asked me.
I blink my eyes to register his words. 'What he want from me? I don't have anything with me'. I thought in my mind. I'm so curious and I don't really have other choice to reject him. So I accept it.
"Sure, I will do anything you ask me. Please help me this time. I really need the money urgently". I said to him
"Ok then, I will transfer the money to your account now". He said while grabbing his phone.
"You can check your account, I already transfer the money". He said to me.
I quickly went to my desk and check my account. True to his words. He transfer six lakh in my account. I also transfer all that money back to Ms. Kavitha who is taking care of mother.
"So, you get the money. Okay. Now as you give your words. I want you to stay with me at my house". He said casually like it's nothing.
What he mean by staying with him. We already divorce and we can't stay together. What will people saying?. I don't care about me but Arjun. He is from reputed family and highly respected. It's can tarnish his name. He now only get nominated for a Nobel prize.
"Uh? But hmm... you know". I stammering as I don't know how to said.
"What I know?". He asked me back calmly but seriously.
I take deep breath and sighed. I don't want to mention this words. It's just too painful for me. But I guess I don't have choice now. Arjun looks angry and impatient to hear my reply.

"We can't stay together Arjun... You know...we actually... actually already... di-vorced". I manage to utter the words although I was stuttering. I didn't look at his face because I feel my ballerina flats are more attractive.
After didn't get any reactions from him. I raised my face to look at him. I realised it is big mistake to look at him. If before he was angry now he look so furious.
He look red and danger. But at same time, I couldn't move my gaze from his eyes. His eyes hypnotized me to look at him and rooted me at my spot. He look straight into my eyes and his eyes turn to darker. I gulp my saliva preparing for his outburst.
He stepped closer to me. I also move backwards the more he walked to me until my back hit his desk. I trapped between him and the desk. Our nose almost touch and I can feel his warm breath. I also can sense the heat radiating from his body.
He too handsome with this closer look. My heartbeat beating like at fast and furious rate. I love to be near to him and it's very dangerous to my heart.
"Sweetheart, you need two hand to clapped and like that you need my signature on the divorce paper to you get your divorce. Your only signature is not enough". He said with angry tone and pressure me with his intense gaze.
I choked my saliva and I feel hard to breath. What he mean by not signing the paper?. It's was him who applied first or is it wasn't him?. Did I get manipulate by his aunt?. I really couldn't understand the situations and confused with everything.
As he understand my questioning look. He asked "Did you think me that low to give you divorce after I married you in front of our family and God. I admit it that I marry you because of amaa's last wished and that should be more reason for you to trust me to not break it. Even if I wanted divorce you. I would tell it directly to you. Ever you saw me let other people to talk on behalf of me or take decision of me?. Why you didn't trust me Divya?. Why you didn't asked me by yourself before you takes your nonsense decisions?. You should know me better than anyone this world that I wouldn't cheat or betray anyone especially you". He asked me with accusing tone and dissapointed look.
I feel so stupid for the first time and I hate myself for taking such a decisions. My tears were running across my cheeks. I feel so bad and guilty. He was right. I should trust him because I know him.
I hugged him tightly and crying on his chest. He didn't push me away.
"I'm really sorry Arjun. I just take decisions emotionally not because I not trust you. But because of my insecure feelings. You are right. I shouldn't do that. Please forgive me Arjun. I promise you, I would never leave you alone anymore. I would stick with you like gum". I said while sobbing and he didn't said anything.
He just hug me more closer and tightly to him.
He felt so warm and familiar. He felt so solid and safe. I just want to be his arms forever. Clinging over him, bury my face on his chest and never let him go.
His arms are strong enough to hold my fear and enough to hold the broken me. I feel home and he completes me.
After work, we went to his house. It wasn't the previous house where I was stayed. It's new mansion of him. He told me, he build this for his mother as her memorable because it was their safe place when he was young.
Its only ready last year so he shifted to here. He is living alone with some of his house workers.
Beautiful is not a word to describe the house. It's really so beautiful to be real. It's was like palace. So big and spacious. I just love the house very much.
I wanted to his bedroom but to my dissapointed. It's just look exactly as his previous house bedroom. Grey and dim light.
But from now onwards, it will be mine too. So prepared for the changes dear husband. I can't do anything to your previous room as I scared with grandma.
