Chapter 29

She sat on a bench and looked at view. After an hour, it's sun setting time. the view was looking more natural. She decided to take some photos. She took mountain photos, the sunset photo and she took selfie. When she was going to take selfie with sunset, she saw him in her mobile screen with her. He came her back and hugged her from back. he put his chin on her shoulder and asked, "Are you taking selfie with sunset....Huhh?"

She came into senses to hear his voice and nodded. He raised his hand with smile and press the button of click. Before she reacted, he took the mobile from her hand and looked at photo. He said with smile, " photo is good." He put mobile into her hand and held her other hand, "Now let's go inside. it's cold outside."

She followed him with pursing her lips. They entered into hotel together. the staff members who looked at them, greeted them. There was no expression on Vijay's face while her head was lowered.

After entering into suite, he closed the door and took her into his arms. He started to kiss her. She wrapped her hands on his neck and responded. His kiss was soft in starting then got demanding. He didn't see her for few hours but he missed her so much. He let her go out but he was worried for her. His mind was on her today.

He broke the kiss and stroked her cheek with his hand while other was on her waist. He was happy to look in jumpsuit that she listened to her. He sat on sofa and made her sit on his lap as usual. it's his habit and she felt now comfortable in his lap.

He asked her, "Did you enjoy today?" Actually, he wanted to ask her that she missed him or not.

She only nodded, "Yeah"

He wanted she would tell him herself but when she didn't say anything. he had to asked, "Good. did you go temple today?" She looked at him but then she thought that driver told him. He was wondering to hear that she went to temple. It was first time when he heard it about her. She was spiritual and he didn't know about it.

She nodded again, "Yeah"

He asked again, "What did you pray?"

She told him truth, "I prayed for mom. I am worried for her health that's why I asked lucky charm for her."

He was upset that she only prayed for her mom even asked lucky charm for her. What about him then?

She was confused to tell him or not. he asked himself that's why it's good opportunity to tell him. As she opened her mouth, he asked with coldly, "What about me?"

She chewed her lips and said, "Actually, I asked for you but I didn't know you want it or not."

He didn't believe into his ears. Did he hear something wrong? Bhavika was looking at his face and tried to read his expression but she couldn't read anything on his face.

He smiled and asked with unbelievable, "You really asked for me?"

She tried to explain, "Actually...."

He didn't let her finish, "Bhavika, show mine." he wouldn't believe until he looks with his eyes.

Bhavika got up and took out his lucky charm from her handbag and gave him.

He looked at it with wondering. She really asked for him. He put safely into his pocket and sat her again his lap. He kissed her. he wanted to tell her how much he was happy. it was a good decision to let her go out.

The following day, Bhavika didn't go out because he tortured her last night until she fainted. He was so pleased that she thought about him but for her, it was wrong decision.

She decided that she will not do anything for that beast. In morning, looking at her tired, he was so proud himself. but he knew in his heart she was cursing him. he didn't care about her cursing. She was thinking about him in any way it was enough for him.

She slept whole day because of tiredness. She only woke up for eat lunch. because in morning, he made her eat breakfast because he was worried that she felt weak. She wanted to cry and laugh that he didn't show mercy to torture her at night and on daytime, he showed care for her. It's better he didn't show anything to her. But it was impossible.

She woke up at evening freshly. her body almost healed and she felt refresh. She came out for eating something. She took out pastry from fridge and sat on sofa. She checked her mobile while eating. Her friends send her message, 'What was she doing?'

She replied, 'Nothing'

Both of them asked her to see their current posts. She checked the post. there was some photos of them. some with family while some alone. They were enjoying. She wanted to tell them that she visited historical fort yesterday but she couldn't.

She commented on their posts and chatted for few minutes while enjoying her pastry.

She decided to watch tv. She laid down on sofa and watched tv. After an hour, Vijay came back. he kissed her many times. After eating, he held her hand and said, "Let's go."

She looked at him with suspicious, "Where?"

he bent towards her level and pecked her lips, "baby, it's surprised."

She only nodded because she knew he won't tell her. He planned to surprise her. Actually, he wanted to show her yesterday but he changed his mind after knowing that she started to think about him.

When he opened the big wood door, the colour full lighting were shinning on floor. She was wondering looking at it. They entered inside and he closed the door.

She was happy to see it and her gaze was roaming everywhere but her face got pale to see swimming pool. it was private swimming pool. He wanted to swim with her that's why today he reserved for them.

Vijay didn't notice her expression and gave her swimsuit, "Change it."

She shook his head, "no." When she looked at him, she gulped her saliva, "I don't know swimming."

he chuckled, "Baby, Don't worry. I am with you."

She wanted to deny, "But..."

He put the swimsuit on her hand, "Change it first. we will talk later."

She lowered her head and went to cabin to change. When she came out, Vijay was already in swimming pool. He looked at her as he was looking at his prey. the colourful lighting were on her fair skin and dazzling. She was looking like she came out from painting. He raised his hand towards her and said in low voice, "Baby come here."

She was standing on her spot and shook her head, "Vijay please no."

He thought she was scared because she didn't know swimming that's why he came out from swimming pool and went to her. He took her into his arms and said in soft tone, "There is no need to scare. I am with you, Bhavika."

She shook her head, "no Vijay please."

he stroked her cheeks, "It's ok baby" and kissed her. As she started to respond him, there was a splash on water and both of them were in swimming pool. bhavika felt wet and came out into senses. She pushed him away with horror. He was stunned to her behaviour. It's first time when she pushed him. Her tears were flowing her eyes and next moment, she fainted. looking at her closing eyes, he came into his senses. He went to her. he took her into his arms before her body went inside the pool. He patted her cheek slowly, "Bhavika... bhavika."

But she was motionless into his arms. He hugged her tightly. he knew it's not time for losing control himself. He came out from swimming pool with her. He wrapped her with towel and called Nick, "Call to doctor."

Nick was startled. 'what happened? His boss was with her.' But hearing his boss voice he understood something happened to her. he immediately replied, "yes sir."

Vijay dried her with towel and he made her wear her clothes. He didn't care that he was also soaked with water and naked. After wearing her clothes, he worn bathrobe. He was angry where the hell is doctor?

he checked her heartbeat and pulse. Everything is normal then what happened to her. He wanted to give her surprise. if he knew she fainted, he will never take her here. He wanted to burn that place. he decided to order to close that place forever.

Nick came with doctor. Vijay held her tightly. When doctor looked him like it, he said polielty, "Sir, please let me check her."

Vijay roared, "did I stop you? check her immediately what happened to her? if something happened to her, you will lose your degree forever."

The doctor looked at Nick with sweats on his forehead, 'it's not his fault.' Nick looked away because he couldn't help the doctor infront of his boss. When you can't change anything, it's better to ignore.

The doctor checked somehow her pulse and heartbeat because Vijay held her tightly and he was glaring doctor like he will kill him anytime. He told professionally, "She fainted because of shock. I can't say for sure but according to expression, she has phobia of pool. I am giving her shoot. let her rest tonight. She will wake up tomorrow morning."

After giving her shoot, he added, "It's better if you take her for full body check up."

Vijay listened carefully and hugged her tightly. He regretted to take her here. Nick shook his head to look his boss like it. He left with doctor. he knew if he say something, it will add fuel into fire.

Vijay took her inside suite. He laid her on the bed and sat beside her. he recalled that he soaked into water that's why he went bathroom to change. It's better what doctor say would be true otherwise he did not know what will he do.

He sat beside on her bed. After arround an hour, the medicine started to work in her system, she changed her position. Vijay took a deep breath but soon she started to cry and shaking in her sleep. Vijay immediately took her into his arms and caressed her hairs, "Bhavika... what happened?"

She stopped but soon she started again to cry and shake. He held her tightly. First time, he was feeling helpless. She was crying nonstop in her sleep. the tears were flowing her eyes nonstop. He was caressing her hairs and coaxing. but it was useless.

She didn't react when he tortured her mercilessly. Even she was silent everytime but this time, he didn't know what happened to her. He was blaming himself.

After few minutes, she stopped to cry. Her body was relaxed. looking at her sleeping soundly, he took deep breath but he was not relaxed. He wanted to know what happened to her. He sat on bed to took her into his arms whole night. He was afraid that she would have nightmare again and started to cry.

He closed his eyes and he slept lightly. he woke up, when he heard her crying voice, "dad... dad"

She was crying again. his heart ached to look her like it. He caressed her hairs and coaxed, "Bhavika... it's ok."

She called, "dad" and opened her eyes with shocked. Looking at him tired and worried face, She called his name, "Vijay"

Vijay was looking at her. When she called his name, he tried to smile, "yeah baby."

She was only looking at him. He couldn't control his emotions when he looked her like it, "Baby, I am sorry. I didn't know you have phobia with pool otherwise I didn't take you there. I shouldn't have forced you. It's my fault. I should have listened to you. please baby, don't hate me."He hugged her tightly.

She didn't say anything while letting him do whatever he wants. he continued, "Baby I am really sorry." After handling the business, he almost forgot the word 'sorry' but when he felt he lost her, he couldn't control and asked apologized her again and again.

Bhavika patted him back and said softly, "It's not your fault. you didn't know anything. It's related to my dad... not you"

Vijay kept silent for few seconds. he soon came into senses and looked at her eyes, "Bhavika, I am really sorry. I was really scared yesterday to look at you like it. you were crying in your sleep. do you want to share with me?"

She looked at his eyes for few minutes. She thought and nodded. She didn't share her feelings with anyone about it.

Vijay stroked her cheek, "I am listening."
