Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Knock! Knock!

"..." No sound could be heard from the inside of her room. Sanaya was sitting on the floor resting her head at the edge of the bed. Again, someone knocked at the door.

Letting out a sigh she declared, "Mrs. Elisa. I am ok. I want to stay alone..." She was wiping off her tears. Her finger still bleeding. As she heard a knock on the door again she said, "Mrs. Elisa, please go back. I won't..."

This time the sound of knocking was louder. Wiping off her tears Sanaya got up and strolled towards the door. She opened the door, "Mrs. Elisa, I told you... Nick..."

Nick shuffled into her room without saying anything. "Come here." He strolled towards the couch when Sanaya left the door open.

Walking towards the couch Sanaya kept standing. "Do you need something?" She asked.

"Yes, give me your hand." Sanaya hid her hand behind her and glanced at him, "No need. I am ok."

"Yes, I know. Give me your hand." He proclaimed asking for her hand again. Sanaya moved away, "You do not need to do anything. I know it was my fault, I should have checked it first then serve you. I really did not know that there was the chili, I am sorry. I am ok, I know you were going to work. You..."

Cutting her off Nick grabbed her hand and pulled her closer. Touching her arms he looked at her, "You talk too much you know? Sit here and keep your mouth... shhh!"

As he looked at her finger he asserted, "I was too much. Sorry for that." Sanaya was sitting still, staring at him when he was cleaning her wound. Nick glimpsed at her and she lowered her eyes but he could see tears dropping down to her eyes. Moving closer he fondled her face, "Why are you crying now?"

Sanaya bobbed her head in denial. Taking a sigh, he caressed her face with both of his hands and pulled her face closer, making her gape at him. "I said sorry. Stop crying." He asserted.

Suddenly Sanaya hugged him gently. He was dazed, "What..."

"For a moment, I... I thought you..."

"What did you thought?"

"No-nothing." Moving her legs closer she put her head on his shoulder as she wrapped her hands around his neck. Nick sat still, thinking of whether to do something or push her away. But if he was to push her away all of a sudden, it would not be good to see.

Sanaya saw him to stay quiet. Smiling she said, "It's strange though..."

"What is strange?" He questioned. No way, she could feel something or maybe he just went overboard?

Adjusting her head on his shoulder she spoke in a low voice, "Just a while ago I was sad, I was crying but now... Now, I am no sadder." Nick was silent when Sanaya was enjoying his presence. As he saw she was silent he patted her head slowly. Sanaya did not know when did she fell asleep.

"Attachment... Soon maybe you will start hating me." He glared at her when she was napping on his lap. Sighing he got up and having her in his arms he stepped towards the bed. Putting her down he was about to get up but suddenly he felt someone pulling him from behind. Thinking she might have woken up as he turned he saw she was still asleep.

Her pallu was stuck with his wristwatch. Sitting next to her he tried to remove it. His eyes caught on her, he gazed at her. Her innocent face was indeed making his decision puzzled, "Love... Do you think I am someone who deserves to get love? Can I stop myself from being a cold-blooded monster?..." Leaning forward he stared at her and he announced, "I don't deserve love... What will you do when you will see how heartless I am? I wonder... Will you leave me like my..."

Letting out a sigh of remorse he got up and left the room.

It was not yet evening when Sanaya was sitting on the swing. She loved swiveling on the swing and finally, she got it just like she imagined in her dream. A swing in the garden. So many beautiful flowers and she was swiveling in the swing.

She looked at the sky, how fast her life changed. Now, she wished that she could be happy for all her life. "You seem happy. Did little Nick apologized?" In her imagination Mrs. Elisa appeared all of a sudden, making her startled.

Nodding her head she said, "Yes he did. But I am happy because..."

"Because?"

"He did not leave me, he cared for me. I was not sad because he scolded me in front of everybody, I know it was my fault but I was sad because he was going to leave without eating. I won't lie but I was sad because it hurt when he got angry and was about to leave. I know he was angry at me but expressing anger on your food is not good. " As she said so Mrs. Elisa smiled, "He doesn't like to eat oily foods in the morning. Yet he ate it without complaining, but he used to get angry even if his usual breakfast would change for a day."

"Huh? Then why did not you tell me that he did not like oily foods? It's my fault, he had to eat them. I..."

"Calm down, dear. I wanted to see something and today I saw it." Hearing her Sanaya narrowed her eyebrows as she questioned her, "What is that?"

"He cares for you." Sanaya smiled looking at the space as she heard Mrs. Elisa.

At Night

"Boss, ain't we going back to..." Kyle shut his mouth as he saw Nick gazed at him coldly. That cold look was not something new Kyle had got from his boss but he did not like it at all that Nick was sitting on the couch with a woman when he was drunk.

The girl at the left of Nick had her hand on his thigh. Slowly moving her hand from his thigh upward his abdomen she said seductively, "Should we get a room? Mr. Nick."

Nick had eyes fixed at the crowd of girls and boys who were dancing, swaying their bodies with the music. Nick looked at her as if he was drugged, he rubbed his thumb against her cheeks but strange! What he was seeing was not the girl. As if something was wrong with his vision all of a sudden.

"This woman..." He murmured in his drunk tone, keeping his eyes focused on the girl in front of him. The girl smiled and was moving her hands towards his chest when he tried to keep his eyes focused on her, "You!" His intense gaze at her...

Suddenly grabbing her wrist Nick pushed her far away. "Ouch..." He did not care whether she got hurt or not, he got up from the couch when anger rushed through his head.

"Mr. Nick? Where are you going?" Getting up she tried walking towards him but she heard his cold voice that sent shivered through her body. He announced, "Kyle, I don't want to see this woman in front of me ever again." With that, he left the nightclub.

As the girl tried running towards Nick she was stopped by Kyle. "Move! I am going to talk to Mr. Nick." Kyle extended his arms as he spoke in a serious tone, "No, you can not go."

"Why not? I am going to talk to him. I have been liked by him these one year, what happened to him all of a sudden?"

"Please stop here. He has a wife, you should know it. Don't try to ruin a girl's life when you are a woman too." As Kyle said so she chuckled, "Sorry for laughing. Why should I care when he got married? And for another girl? If he doesn't care himself then why should I care? Move, he came here himself which means he wants me. Move..."

Kyle stood still, no way he was going to let her go. After all these times finally, Nick has thought of not touching a sexy woman in front of him whom he could easily have s*x with. "Please don't force me. You should stop here."

"I... " Leaving her alone Kyle left too.

**

Sanaya looked at the wall clock again. She was so sleepy, she has been waiting for Nick but he did not come back yet.

"Hello? Nick? When are you coming back?" Calling Nick she asked him. But the voice was not his but Kyle was the one on the call. "Hello, ma'am. I'm Kyle talking."

"Kyle? Where is Nick?"

"He... He is here. Ahh, we are on the way to the mansion. You might be waiting for us." As he said so Sanaya was surprised, "Here? You mean?"

"I mean he is in the car."

"Give it to him. I want to talk to him." It sounded a bit strange. She could not understand why Nick himself was not talking to her but Kyle was talking to her. His wife called and he gave his phone to his secretary to talk to her? Sanaya wanted to know what was going on.

"Ahh, ma'am. Boss... He can not talk now." Kyle let out in a nervous tone. Sanaya was more suspicious now, "What do you mean he can not talk to me? Why can't he?"

Kyle looked at Nick who was now sleeping in the backseat. It was nothing new but for Sanaya, of course, it was new and weird. Kyle was in a tough situation, if he would not tell her why Nick could not talk to her she would surely be suspicious more but how could he just tell her? He rubbed his neck and said in a shaky voice, "Because... He... He is sleepy."

"What? Sleepy? Ohh, where you guys are right now?" She was concerned now. Worried she asked him.

Taking a sigh of relief he answered, We are already there."

Sanaya was waiting for them to reach the mansion. She was pacing back and forth at the grand foyer. "He is ok. Please don't worry." She did not stop pacing until she heard Mrs. Elisa's concerned voice.

Taking a look at what she had been doing until now she smiled sheepishly, "It's my bad habit. I know he is ok but I am just worried... He might be very tired that's why he fell asleep, he..."

Mrs. Elisa was thinking something else. Looking at her she felt sadness only, "I can not tell you that he might not be tired like you think but it's..."

"Ohh they might come back." The corner of Sanaya's lips widened as she ran towards the door. Seeing Nick she stepped back. Kyle was holding his arms to give him support so he would not fall. "Now he is in your care. Good night, Ma'am..."

Giving Nick to Sanaya Kyle took his leave. "Wait but..." He was gone. Sanaya looked at Nick who seemed to be deep in sleep? Maybe? "How will I take him upstairs myself?" When Sanaya was thinking so Mrs. Elisa appeared, "Come, let's take him to his room."

Smiling she nodded her head. Mrs. Elisa did help her. But coming at the door of his room she left too, she could help only that much. Sanaya was wearing a saree and that was the problem. Tucking the corner of her saree while having her one hand around his back Sanaya then took him to the bed slowly. As soon as she reached the bed she put him on the bed and then she sat on the bed, taking a deep sigh.

She took his shoes off, then tried pulling him up by his hand to take off his blazer. As he pulled him up he put his head on her shoulder then slowly nuzzling his forehead onto her neck while mumbling something. Sanaya gulped, he was sleeping but she was awake. She could feel his closeness was extremely attractive n irresistible, she could not dare to inhale the air that was filled with his intoxicating cologne. Even if she wanted but he seemed to built an invisible strong wall between them, she could not dare to break it.

She waited for his breathing to be balanced. Moving him slowly she tried taking his blazer off. It was hard for her not to look at him, he seemed like a cute boy while he was sleeping. Sanaya smiled and took his blazer off. "This is fine." Unbuttoning the first two buttons of his shirt Sanaya got up to the bed to leave but suddenly she felt him pulling the pallu of her saree.

As she turned around she saw him mumbling. She leaned over to hear what was he saying, "Don't leave... Don't leave..." He was mumbling while he was pulling the pallu of her saree.
