"W-What happened? Is it hurting somewhere?" And for the first time, Raj's voice falter a little. Raj was all about concern to her. Even he didn't know though, that why on the Earth was he acting that way!!!
That why on the earth, the most cruel CEO of the RT become such a caring sweetheart. He even forgot Tina. Fine, there are many thing. And why on the earth, did he wanted to create the best impression of his, in Aman's eyes.
Why!!!! Why!!!! Why!!!!!! There were just why , why and why!!!!! Filled in his mind. But, whose answers weren't there.
But the biggest of all questions is that, just why on the earth is his body reacted before his mind, whenever Priya is being concerned. His mind always stay at the back side, letting his body act on it's own, whenever the thought of Priya came inside.
Like see, he even hug Priya right in front of her brother. But, atht wasn't intentional. That, was when his body overtook him. Just like now, even his voice was being full of warmth and gentleness, which even at the time of Tina's pressence, didn't happen.
Then, what exactly is the problem!!!! Is it even a problem in the first place!!!! Could he…. By any chance… could he…. !!!! Aniyo!!! Not possible. His first and last love, was Tina, is Tina, and will remain Tina forever. It must be just some infatautions, that's all. Nothing else.
And this dumbo, try his best to convince his heart. That, it's not love, it's just humanity and…. Ah!!!! He doesn't even know, what to say to his heart anymore. He can't even find words to lie to his heart.
As for Priya; she was lost in her own turmoil of emotions. A person,whose future had been predicted by that fellow, which is to return into the darkness, into the nothingness. To become one with this universe.
Come on, just what exactly on the earth is her fault, to begin with!!!! But rather than going through self pity. She just hold onto the last and the only hope of her life. The source of bright light in her World of Darkness. She hold his hand so damn tightly.
As if she was holding onto her last hope, that source of light which could save her from drowning… drowning further into the World of Darkness.
She saw the concern for her in his life.
And she saw many emotions, which were reflecting in his eyes; the emotions which has been hidden deep into the depth of his yes.
But, she couldn't pin point those emotions out. As it was her first time, being a human herself to begin with. So, humans and their emotions, are a little Alien subject for him.
[Does any one of you , have any doubt that why on the earth, many of the things have been hidden from her. Such as the power of the holy lake. Or the secret's of cultivation or all those things.
So, the reasons and the answers to them would be revealed in upcoming chapters. Slowly… slowly ]
When, he saw her holding his hand tightly, with eyes brimming with tears. It shutted his mind automatically, and before he knows, she was held tightly yet carefully in his embrace.
As if he wanted to declared this to her and this World, that nothing or no one can harm her, until and unless , he is alive and present there. As for her, she firstly got shocked by the sudden embrace, but when his warmth filled her from inside out ,
when his warmth provides her the sense of security, protection, when his warmth knocked out her senses fully. Then , she couldn't help but slowly…. Slowly… relaxed down.
And in the end, while being little bold and daring she hugged him back, as tightly as she could, with her fragile, little arms.
She might be a warrior, like Amanthus. But, she had never done anything like that, before. Due to which, she was being very shy. And her cheeks, which previously wer filled with tear's and marks of dry tear, was now flushed red, like a tomato.
Since, her head was lying on his chest. So, she could hear his calm and steady heartbeats, completely contrasted to her chaotic, loud , messy heartbeats, to whom no matter how hard she tried to calm,
but couldn't, unless like his , which definitely was no less than the angels' song for her. As it fully calmed her down. But, either fortunately or unfortunately, it just sped up her heartbeats, turning it more chaotic and messy.
Although he wanted her to fall asleep, but her being in his arms, on her own and that too, in her fully conscious level, it was just too much, of a feeling for him.
He just wanted to cuddle her in his arms, forever like this, if possible. But he knows, it isn't possible, after all, within 5 days, he have to go back. And why would a girl like her, go with him in the first place.
Alright!!!! He is a great CEO and all. But still, why? It' not like she love him, or he loves her and can't stay without each other.
'But this place isn't safe for her.' his heart debated.
' As if I don't know. But, I practically can't tell her to stay with me forever, for no reason. Especially, when I am committed, devoted fully to Tina.' his mind argued back.
' Stop being so delusional, Raj. Do you really even love Tina?' His heart argued back.
