Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Author’s P.O.V.

Ehan was sleeping all peacefully. He was looking like smiling even in his sleep. Like he already got to know there was nothing worry now. The person with whom he was in love deeply, had already become his.

When Ehan opened his eyes and found Naira like really sitting by the bed side, staring at him for a moment he thought he was still dreaming. But when Naira didn’t averted her gaze from his face, he reached his hand slowly towards her face with knitted brows to get confirmed.

When his hand touched Naira’s cheek, both of them got startled for a moment. Ehan immediately moved away his hand and Naira started avoiding to face him. Staying like this for some time, without uttering anything when Naira was about to leave, Ehan got uttering, “Naira?”

Naira got stopped but didn’t turn towards him. Though she was here to talk to him but now she was hesitating.

What if Ehan asked her to leave being angry on her ignorance and for all this happening!

This thought was disturbing her from the time she entered the cabin. While thinking of this she ended up staring at him.

She didn’t even get to know when Ehan opened his eyes. Her thought got broken as Ehan again spoke up, “Ira, right now I am not in a position to go behind you. So can you please stop running away until I am just fine enough to go behind you again?”

The words got Naira turned to Ehan with a jerk thinking..

“So he wasn’t angry on me nor he decided to give up on me even after going through all this!”

Giving it a thought, Naira got asking, “Aren’t you angry on me?”

Ehan spoke up in a confused tone, “Why would I?" only to get Naira all silent.

When he remembered the situation, he spoke up again, “Are you by any chance thinking yourself guilty for my condition now?"

Naira got uttering with her head down, “It’s true.”

Ehan spoke up with a little bit of smile, “Don’t think so as it was just an accident. And my concentration wasn’t on road actually."

Forgetting their situation, Naira got yelling at him, “Then where were your concentration, Ehan? You could have died on road like this. Do you even have any idea how much I got worried seeing you lying lifelessly like this? What if you couldn't make it?”

Though Naira was yelling at him but Ehan, he got smiling seeing Naira concerned for him like this for the first time. This made Naira angrier and she got uttering again, “Why are you smiling? You think this is funny! I could have lost you forever.”

Her angry expression got vanished as soon as Ehan got uttering, “So you were worrying for me! But why?”

When Naira didn’t seem to get uttering anything immediately, Ehan spoke up with a little bit of smile,

It’s okay. Take your time. But just tell me one thing.”

Naira gave him a questioning look only to get Ehan giving her a hopeful pleading look, "Am I forgiven?"

This wasn’t something, Naira was expecting from him in this situation. She was expecting him to get angry and yelling at her but it was going opposite to her all anticipation.

It got her heart overwhelmed. But composing herself, she spoke up with a little bit of smile, “What if I say no?”

Ehan’s face fell hearing her but masking that he spoke up, “It’s okay with me but” as he tried to get seated but got stopped as Naira got uttering sternly, “Ehan, stay lying.”

Ehan stopped trying to get up and gave Naira a confused look as she got uttering, “I never hated you. It’s just I was angry. More than you, I was angry on me. Though I promised myself years back and kept reminding everyday but still couldn’t keep the promise. I was getting angry on myself not being able to get the thought of yours out of my mind.”

Naira stopped for a moment and then again spoke up, “That anger made me to avoid you. Because I was afraid thinking whether I was in a position to handle the heart break for the second time. But I am not afraid anymore because I can handle my heart if it gets broken again but I can’t handle losing you, Ehan.” as a tear rolled down on her cheek.

Ehan wasn’t understanding what to say actually other than, “I am sorry, Ira.” and at last started coughing.

Naira rushed to him being all concerned as she got uttering, “Ehan, you okay? What happened? Wait, I am going to call the doctor."

She was about to leave but got stopped as Ehan got hold of her hand, “I am okay. Don’t worry.”

Naira sat by the bedside again and uttered, “You sure you okay?”

Ehan smiled a little and nodded at her and then spoke up, “Come a little closer.”

This made Naira do the opposite as she got somewhat nervous.

Being confused at Naira, Ehan again got uttering, “Just a little bit.”

Naira got stuttering, “Ehan..we...”

Guessing her thought, Ehan smiled a little and reached his hand but couldn’t reach Naira’s cheek and got uttering, “I am not reaching it.”

Being clueless, Naira moved her face a little towards Ehan only to get startled as he wiped off the tear stain and spoke up, “I promise you, this would be last time and I will never let a tear drop roll down from your eyes again.”

His sincerity was clearly visible on his face which didn’t go unnoticed by Naira also. She smiled heartily. Ehan got uttering then, “What were you thinking actually?”

“Hmm?” Naira uttered being unable to get his word only to turn crimson as Ehan got uttering, “When I asked you to come closer?”

She immediately got her face out of his reach and kept avoiding his gaze of a playful smirk as she got uttering, “No..nothing.”

Ehan was about to say something but got interrupted as Stella, Mack and Akash got entering the cabin.

Naira got standing instantly. Seeing her face, Stella got teasing them, “What was happening here, guys?”

Naira composed herself and got uttering, “Nothing.”

Mack smiled, “Yeah, we can see that.” as he turned to Ehan who was still looking at Naira with the same smirk on his face.

Without bothering to look anywhere, Naira got uttering, “Akash, where is Mom?”

Smiling a bit, Akash spoke up, “Mom is outside with Alina.”

“Okay.” Looking at Ehan from the corner of her eye for once, she got out of the cabin smilingly...
