My Stubborn Love.

Chapter 27

Roshni's POV.

He tucked me into bed??? I didn't know how to react. It was an intimate gesture... I was crying just about 30 minutes back and now I was on top of the world.

He said he cares for me... He even cancelled such an important deal for me.

For me?? Am I so special and important to him??

l hated it when that Bob looked at me or his dirty hands or foot touched me. But the moment I saw Manik, I almost cried with relief, though I felt embarrassed that he saw all that. I was scared that he would be disappointed that all his efforts went waste.  But he asked him to apologise to me. I could not help myself and hugged him. He risked his deal for me. He took my side and showed trust in me.

Oh, I loved standing there in the haven of his arms. His strong arms around me made me feel assured that, no one would be able to harm me.  He was my hero, someone I could trust.

I was crying in his arms but didn't know if the tears were rolling because of the frustration and embarrassment of what Bob was trying to do or because of the relief I felt that I was safe in my hero's arms and he trusted me over his friends and very important clients. He was fighting for my honour.

But when bob started accusing him of all those things, I lost it. How could that man say all that for us... For Manik Ji??

I didn't want the deal to get cancelled. It was his first independent deal. A proof of his competence and hard work. So I asked him not to fight them.

In the sanctuary of my room, I  cried to my heart's content.  But he came to see me and said that he cancelled the deal for my dignity. I felt guilty for his loss but don't know why, I was feeling good as well.

I hugged him again, wanting to lose myself in those arms forever.

Oh, I love him... I love you, Manik.

Manik's POV

I rushed to my bedroom and closed the door immediately. Picked up the jug of water from my table and drank a lot of water.

Oh, my God!!

What was happening?? Why was I being aware of her being there around me so much? Why was I feeling such weird things when she...?

And did she really say that or did I imagine it??

No!! Why... would I imagine such a thing?? She really said that...

But why?? She knows I have a girlfriend.

No, she can't mean it...  Maybe she was just getting emotional because she went through that traumatic situation.

Yes!! It could be the only reason... That bast*** touched her inappropriately, she was not in the right frame of mind.

Yes, she must have said it in a flow as she was getting very emotional.

I don't know what to do, just wanted to distract myself from all this, so I called Myra.

She took my call...

" Hello? "

" Hi, beautiful!! Missed me?? " I asked

" Er... Yes! How are you??" She said.

" Missing you very badly. I feel so alone here, without my family, friends and of course, you." I said.

" Then why don't you come and meet me?? " She asked.

I wish we were living in the same city, I swear, I would have come to meet you, right away. I want you with me, Myra.

Manik, I need to meet you. There are certain issues, that are to be talked about. My parents are pressuring me to get married now. I told them that I have someone in my life,  but they think that I am saying it to buy some time. Viren is following me everywhere to know who is it. Now he is convinced, that I was lying. So they are looking for alliances. In fact, I am sure that they have someone in mind. Please do something. "  She sounded serious.
