Chapter 32: Chapter 32

*Jiya Pov*

I slowly opened my eyes and continued to blink until I got adjusted to the light coming from the window.

I immediately closed my eyes, feeling a severe headache on its way. I tried to get up, but felt locked and couldn’t even move.

Then I moved my face to see his sleeping face, and he is snoring too. I am still sleeping on him? I thought and attempted to remove his hand, which is holding me to him tightly.

“Ajay!” I whispered, shaking him.

“Hmm...” He mumbled but didn’t wake up.

“Ajay!” I said again and this time he opened his eyes frowning.

“Did you call me by my name?” he asked after a few minutes.

“Yes! You said to do it in the house right.” I replied, and he nodded.

“Look into my eyes.” He suddenly said.

“What?” I asked him shocked.

“I know that you 're looking everywhere but my eyes. So now look into them.” He replied.

I glanced up and stared into his eyes. He too gazed back and he slowly released me.

“Good morning.” He mumbled kissing my forehead.

I nodded and moved away feeling something pounding in my head. I pressed my hand on the forehead and closed my eyes.

“Headache?” I heard him asking.

“Yes!” I replied, not opening my eyes.

I felt him getting down from the bed and after some time, he shook me. I opened my eyes to see him holding a glass of milk and tablet on the other hand.

“Thanks.” I said, taking them and then again, laid back.

I chose to sleep for some time and then get up to cook something for us. I was in the process of drifting off into sleep, but then felt him pressing my forehead.

“You need not do that. I will be fine.” I said, trying to remove his hand.

“You did this so many times to me, Jiya and I let you right. So now don’t think too much and just sleep.” He said and I did, but then when I woke up after a few minutes to turn.

I saw him sleeping placing his head on my shoulder, but his hand is still on my forehead. I closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep, snuggling closer to him.

“I could have cooked.” He said, and I turned to see him entering the kitchen yawning.

“It is already afternoon and I am hungry. I really want to have some food right now and not in the evening.” I said and continued to cook.

“When did you wake up?” He asked sighing.

“Few minutes back and thanks for the help.” I replied.

“It’s ok! So now you don’t have any headache, right?” he asked, and I shook my head.

“Shall we go for movie?” he asked when I placed everything on the table.

“No!” I replied and served both of us.

“Ok then! What about the restaurant?" he asked again.

“No!” I replied eating.

“Shall we go to park?” he asked and this time I looked up.

“Look, I am really glad that I am feeling light now after all the crying I did yesterday, but that doesn’t change anything Ajay.” I replied.

I thought he would frown or something, but he grinned and said, “You never disappoint me, Jiya. Well, I am at least glad that you are calling me by my name.”

“Ok!” I mumbled little confused, but brushed off the thoughts.

“So, Mom said you need to go for a checkup after the tablets finish. Will you go today?” he asked after I walked inside the kitchen to wash my hands.

“Yeah! I will go in the evening.” I replied.

“Can I come?” He asked, holding my hand.

“Ok!” I replied after a few minutes.

“Great!” he said, walking inside the room while I started dusting the house.

When I finished with that, I had a bath and got ready to leave. I walked inside the room for a purse and saw that he is already ready.

“Is she fine, doctor?” he asked immediately when we were called inside after the tests.

“Yeah! The infection is gone, but she needs to take still proper care of herself, and also take better food inside.” Doctor replied.

“I will see that she does.” He said, and I sat calmly while he continued to talk to her.

“You didn’t take proper care of her last time so be careful from now onwards.” She finally said to him when we got up to leave.

“It was my mistake and I will not let another mistake happen.” He said with so much confidence that I had to close my eyes for a few seconds.

“I still don’t understand why Aunty and you are fearing so much about me. It’s not like I am going to get pregnant again.” I said walking inside the house finally letting out my irritation.

“Come here.” He said making me sit on the couch after he placed the food we brought outside for the dinner on the table.

“What is it?” I asked him leaning back folding my arms.

“I know at present you don’t love me or anyone, but you will fall in love with someone.” He replied pulling my hand into his.

I shook my head and tried to say no, but he placed his finger on my lips and continued saying, “That someone will take great care of you, and then you will be a Mom again. At that time, you will give birth to a wonderful baby. The baby will look like you.”

“No!” I said removing my hand.

“Shh… don’t think like that and think you will find that perfect someone soon.” He said and got up pecking my forehead.

“So does that mean you will give me divorce?” I asked when he started walking away.

“Yes! But after these few months. I have to try a chance right?” he asked and walked away without turning back.

I closed my eyes and thought about what he is saying. Will I really fall for someone?

Nonetheless, can I, love again after everything? I just have to wait and see I guess. I turned on the television and started watching some movie.

“Here!” he said bringing the food towards the small couch.

“I could have come there.” I said frowning.

“I want to watch this movie, so I brought our food here.” He said shrugging, and we both had dinner watching the movie without saying a word.

“Doctor said you need to have good food and see what we are eating.” He said after we finished the food.

I snorted nodding at him and said, “I thought I would not have the energy to cook. And it is ok to eat like this from outside.”

“Don’t worry! From tomorrow onwards I will cook some perfect healthy food for us.” He said when we switched off the lights in the living room.

“Don’t try to cook from tomorrow onwards at all for my sake.” I said walking inside the room and laid on the bed.

“Mark my words. One day, you will eat the food I make for ten people at a time.” He said grinning.

I looked at him in shock and said, “You remember?”

“I remember every single second I was with you. So don’t look at me like that is the most impossible thing.” He replied and lay on his side of bed.

“But... but how can you remember it?” I asked him still not believing.

“You are so unique that no one can forget the time they spent with you. And I am not a fool to forget them Jiya.” He replied closing his eyes.

I still continued to stare at him, and he slowly mumbled “But I am a fool for not treating you properly and for not taking care of you.”

“I can take care of myself.” I said frowning.

“I know! And I wish I did it for you.” He said turning on my side.

“Do you really love me?” I asked him frowning more.

“Yes! More than I ever thought I could.” He replied staring at me.

“Stop loving me so that you will not get hurt.” I said, turning away to stare at the wall.

“Then let me get hurt.” He mumbled, and I closed my eyes tightly drifting off into sleep after he said he is sorry, and that he loves me like everyday.
