Chapter 34: Chapter 34
Other's pov:
Sagar couldn't believe his eyes as they stood in front of carnival place with grinning Anvitha beside. His company is in verge of going bankrupt and here Anvitha is making joke of his situation. His scowl toned down as he saw how excited Anvitha looked.
"Time to loosen up" Anvitha cheered throwing her hands in air like kid and looped her arms around his and dragged him to the entrance. Her excitement, her smile and her twinkling eyes got him weak and helped her to drag his gaint figure.
He wanted her smile... when got he is never going to let it slip off. He so going to cherish each and every moment. He could feel something Bloom inside his chest and it slightly felt good.
Her smile is contagious, he couldn't help but return the favor. Together they entered the carnival.
Once they were inside they didn't leave each other hands. They strolled to each and every shop and tried different things from hat to earing and enjoyed their time clicking funny photos and making fun if each other.
Their would detach for few seconds and like magnet they would attach their hands without their knowledge.
Even they intertwined their fingers without realising. They were so into their surrounding they did not give much thought but it was until Anvitha realised. She looked at their intervened hands and stood stiff for few micro second as blush made its ways to her cheeks. She turned her face towards other side to hide her blush and calm her racing heart as she had no control over it and not to mention her never leaving smile.
"Come let's try those wigs " Sagar turned to her when he got no response fearing she was tied or worst sick but his eyes landed on her beautiful face and blush made her look even more beautiful. He then realised the reason behind her blush as she tightened her hold when he turned towards her feeling shy.
He was so tempted to lift her hand and brush his lips over it but he knew it would only cause her to shy away from him. He was too selfish wanted her attention to only him and he was enjoying her carefree attitude towards him. He didn't want to ruin it. He want to make her comfortable around him and he doesn't know the reason. He is never the one to think about other's state but he cannot help but fret over her's.
The food court was not something miss her eyes. It felt like she was waiting for it to appear to her eyes. As soon as her eyes got hold of mouth watering chats and junk food her mood elated to next level. She snatched her hands from him to be collided with mouth we watering junk food. Don't blame her hands as her stomach was crying she had to pity her stomach do mercy to it.
Sagar never knew she was so into junk food. He couldn't believe his eyes as she strolled from one counter to another trying every dish. Not a single plate but multiple. His calculate eyes kept on hovering over her tummy as it looked still small. This kept him wondering where she is storing the food she is eating. Up on noticing his eyes on her tummy Anvitha covered protectively glaring him to stop staring at her tummy as she doesn't want to end up in bad stomach ache later on. They both laughed heartily at their stupidity at the end.
Later they went to play section and her excitement doubled. She played every game dragging the cranky Sagar, who was not a fan of games especially roller coaster ride but being Anvitha she didn't leave him until he experience and love it as instead of scaring him she showed good part of it.
"Close your eyes and feel the cool breeze touching your skin. You always wanted to be in high position how can you fret over roller coaster....tsst? " she mocked him to ace his tension of falling on the ground.
"I love to be in high position but I don't want to fall down as we do in roller coaster. It would be so humiliating and saddening to me." Sagar stated his view.
"You know...life is like a roller coaster. It will take you to high at the same time make you fall down. But you have to be the strong and confident in both the situation, if not you would loose everything you have." He gave her a surprising look.
"Yes, you heard me right. We have to control your emotions and behaviour. Just beacuase we gained something we shouldn't over do it. At the same time just because we lost something we shouldn't let it take over us. In that process we might loose something which is so precious to us."
"Money is a gamer. It plays with our emotions and our life. It will control us to greater extent which we might not realise it."
"Money brings you gush of happiness at the same time it pulls you to the black hole. It should be in you to control money and not the other way around." Sagar listened to her carefully.
"If you are content with your work then let it be... one day when they realise the value of your work they will come looking for you. If not ,it's their loss. Something even more deserving might be surprise you." He knew she was indirectly hinting him about earlier problem but he kept quite.
Realisation hit him. He sat there silently analysing her words. There was erre silence embraced between them.
Anvitha felt like she over did it. She cursed for opening her big mouth and advising him but she couldn't stop herself looking at him fretting over something as she know what would be out come. It would lead him to downfall and she didn't want that.
All of sudden heavy droplets poured on them taking them out of their inner battle and killing the silence. They both shrieked and was about to find a shelter but Anvitha being Anvitha stopped him by clutching his hand.
A strange fear gripped her heart when he left from her side. She was scared he might turn into cold which she never wanted. As she felt the warmth she doesn't want him to be cold towards her.
A stupidly crazy idea popped in her mind.
"Let's have ice-cream " she so wanted to know if he is offended with her for being motivational guru and she thought it would be best to break his cold self by eating ice-cream as she missed his warm hand over her's.
"Are you crazy ?" He shouted pushing his out of his forehead to find whether she is joking but it turned to hot as she pouted her pink lips which had droplet inviting to be kissed.
"Naah, I've never been this serious" she said before she could bite her tongue to stop. Her heart skipped multiple beat as she saw him drenched in rain and water droplet cascading down his face. He looked smoking hot when he corrected his hair. He looked 'oh-so-delicious' than ice-cream for her but she knew it is not available...yet...so she pouted.
Inspire I'd cold rain pouring in them they felt desire burning inside turning hot....
She turned to stop from doing unfathomable thing and regret later for giving in to the moment.
"One chocolate ice-cream and " she turned to her right to ask what he would like to have and found Sagar looking at her with so many emotions which she couldn't lay her finger into.
"Two vanilla ....no chocolate " last sentence he said glaring at her.
"Why not chocolate?it's for me" his glare only intensified.
"I know just eat vanilla or no ice cream at all" he ordered her. She so wanted to throw tantrum for decline her but she kept quite as she doesn't want to create a scene here.
Do he by any chance know my allergic to cacao?
Why would he bother to know about me ? I doubt he even know my full name?
"Anvitha. ..your ice-cream "
Oopps he knows....she thought and took from him.
Once done eating they headed to home as it was already past midnight. They were half the way to home, Anvitha started feeling cold. The Ac and the weather is also not helping her. She started rubbing her hands to produce heat and curled into ball to stop shivering badly. Sagar, he saw her shivering and his anger only peeked high. He turned to scold her for childish. His anger flew out of window as he saw her shivering badly to the extent her teeth shattered and eyes half closed.
"Shit " he hit the steering wheel and parked the car to the side. He gently lifted her up and laid her on his lap. She was about to protest and one glare shut her up.
He took her hands and blew hot air from his mouth and rubbed her hands with his to produce warmth hugging her close to him. He could feel her raising her at beat and laboured breath but his mind was to stop her from catching cold as he cannot see her in hospital bed again.
What felt like hours she has stopped shivering.
Anvitha was cursing her fate as she feared her heart would leap out of her mouth at their closeness. She could see his concern for her and that did her blush like crazy. When she felt OK she pushed him slightly indicating to leave her. His blazing eyes met hers . It softened as soon as noticed the red hue on her cheek. He gently took his hand to her cheek and brushed his finger on her cheek. Surprisingly it turned even more red. Before he could cup her cheek she hid in his chest warning a chuckle from him.
Anvitha felt like sweet torture. His care,concern and his gaze the soft touch everything was killing her...begging more but she had to control her hormones. She always want to find love first and the others later on. There is no near to the liking so she has to wait.
Surprisingly, he understood her deli-ma and made her sit in original position and started the car.
Up on reaching the house she made a bee line and reached her room sorry their room and changed in to something warm and also had a little chat with her heart.
Sagar wanted to give her some time to adjust to the new feelings and emotions as it was also new to him, he felt giddy and excited but he has to take slow as he doesn't want to scare her. He ordered the maid to make a coffee and turmeric milk for both of them to warm up. He entered the room and found her already on bed covered fully hiding inside the comforter. He chuckled inwardly at her amused.
"Anvitha, wake up. Have this and sleep." Anvitha heard him and was curious of what he might have brought. It was the first time he is doing something to her...shoeing her some of festoon and care. She being greedy wanted to feel it and enjoy it. She peeked her head and saw turmeric milk in his hand. She didn't knew he was so interested to kill her by making her drink that poison. She know she being impossibly stupid but that is how she felt. She hid herself inside the comforter.
Sagar knew she would throw tantrums as he witnessed in hospital so he was set to make her drink. He pulled her gently by holding her waist and made her sit next to him. His hold didn't loosened a bit. He took the glass from his right hand and placed over her lips.
"Here drink." Anvitha was shocked. She sat there gaping at him. She couldn't believe how easily he handled her.
Am I that thin?
She was about to protest but drank in one go when she saw him glaring her. Once done she threw a accusing angry look at him and slept like before earning a chuckle from him.
Nerve of that anaconda she thought inwardly and tried to sleep. Before she could close her eyes she felt a pull.
Sagar was so much enjoying pampering her and her childish behaviour is making her look so cute. He couldn't stop himself from pulling her to his arm.
The warmth she felt his body was helping her to get recover from the cold. She doesn't know what got in to her she snuggled more into him surprising him. He didn't waste any minute to pull her more close to him.
Sardi ki raaton mein hum soye rahe ek chaadar mein
In the cold night we will sleep under one sheet
Hum dono tanha ho, na koi bhi rahe is ghar mein
We are both alone, no one else is in this home
Zara zara bahekta hai, mahekta hai
Aaj to mera tan badan, main pyaasi hoon
Today my body is becoming a little intoxicated
It is becoming fragrant, I am thirsty
Mujhe bhar le apni baahon mein
Fill me in your arms
Aaja re aa re
Come, oh come
