Love hurts

Their trip almost came to an end when on the 6th day Ani saw a job poster and she requested Ivy to stay till the interview as the country was a dream to be in for her

Ivy agreed as Ani was the only person she truly loved after her family....

3hours later Ivy was waiting in the Office cafe for Ani hoping for her to get selected and at the same time she was thinking about that guy again

when she saw him walk in she froze and didn't even realise it but she was already staring at him admiring him when he looked straight at her

she quickly got into her senses , took a sip and acted as if nothing happened to avoid the embarrassment

she was sure it was Leon the deep blue eyes clearly reminded her of Leon and she couldn't be more worried about it when he came and sat right in front of her

Ivy - Excuse me Mr. Leon This place is already ta-

before she could complete her words he spoke

??? - Ivy is it really you?

Ivy - Yes its me but I don"t know you and I should take my leave now

with that she got up to leave but he held her wrist and pulled her back taking her in his embrace she instantly broke in tears feeling his hug and didn't notice when she was hugging him back he rubbed her hair and tried to calm her down

but soon her anger boiled and she pushed him away her eyes blazing cause of anger he could clearly see pure hatred in her eyes he tried talking but

Leon - Ivy wait I can explain

Ivy - Oh save it leon am done crying over you I have already moved on and I hate you for everything now you left me and that was your choice not mine!!!

Leon - No Ivy you got me wrong I-

she left before he could speak further she went back home and cried her heart out she called Ani and told her to not search for her and that she is at home

After the interview when Ani reached home she found Ivy in a state she never thought she'd see her in

Ani - Oh my god!!! Ivy!!! what happened ?!?!?

Ivy - i-i saw him h-he was there

she managed to say in between her sobs

Ani - What the- Leon?!?!

Ivy - Y-yes

Ani - and you left from there?!?! are you kidding me?!?! you both are head over heels in love with each other!!! you can't just let it go like that!!

Ivy - b-but he chose to leave not me

Ani - He probably had his own issues!! how can you go so rough on him?!? you should talk to him!!

Ivy - am not going!!

Ani - okay then he will come!!

With that Ani left for the cafe as she entered she saw Leon and Alex he was already in tears the cafe was empty as it was late at night till now it was just Alex and Leon there

she paused and waited till Leon fell asleep which she predicted will happen cause Alex kept on telling him to just close his eyes and sleep

After around 10 mins Alex got up to book the cafe for the night as he knew waking Leon up without Ivy won't be good he paid the owner and then walked straight to Ani

Alex - I noticed you have been here from almost half an hour now and you saw everything didn't you?

Ani - I did and was it about Ivy?

Alex - you know her ? well yeah it was Leon is just so in love with her and he can't live without her his family caused him to stop using the app he cried a lot after it and he also tried suicide once but I convinced him saying Ivy is somewhere there and she still loves him but what happened today just broke him completely

Ani - I knew something must have happened that he left even Ivy isn't doing so great she is mostly lost in her own world and since she reached home she has just been crying and crying and crying nothing else

Alex - We should do something for them I can't see Leon like this

Ani - Yeah right we should but for now I need to go back to Ivy as she probably needs me now

Alex - Yeah it's okay I understand by the way this is my phone number ********* I will text you if I could think of something

Ani - Yeah okay bye see you later take care of him and yourself

Alex - Yeah you too!!

The night went by Ivy locked herself in her room and cried herself to sleep but the next morning she woke up cause of a frantic knock

Ani - Ivy open the door it's really important please

Ivy - Am coming wait!!

Ani - please be quick!!

Ivy - what happened?

Ani - It was Alex I met him yesterday in the cafe I know you won't believe me but I saw him and Leon, Leon was miserable and he was in the same condition as yours and I just got a call from Alex saying Leon's health had gotten really bad and and that he keeps on saying your name also that Leon has refused for any treatment he says he won't even eat, drink or have his meds until you talk to him

Ivy - Aish!! he has always been like that!! where is he? I need to go see him now!!

Ani - hop in the car I will take you to him

they reached Leon's house and Ivy saw Alex, he quietly led her to Leon's room. Sound of crying and things breaking could easily be heard

Ivy - Leon open the door!!

Leon - I-Ivy is that you?

Ivy - of course it's me now open the door!!

it was a matter of seconds and the door was wide open Leon hugged Ivy as their was no tomorrow Ivy hugged him back even though she still hadn't forgiven him she still felt bad for him but the moment she hugged him she felt heat , Leon's body was burning cause of the fever she quickly parted away and checked his forehead while he just stood there looking at her while smiling thinking she still cares about him

Ivy - Leon!! what the hell!! your temperature is so high!!

he didn't say anything just kept looking at her until he suddenly started feeling dizzy and the only thing he managed to say was

Leon - I love you

Ivy melted at his statement her anger vanished and she felt worried it was like she could feel his pain she led him to the bed and told him to sleep for a while till then she would call the doctors

Leon - no I wanna know if you love me or not

he spoke in a weak voice which made her feel even worse his voice made her swallow her anger and she instantly replied him saying she loves him too after listening to this he peacefully closed his eyes

Alex - Looks like we don't have to do anything

Ani - Yeah seems so but I think we do need to leave them alone make an excuse quick!

Alex - Umm Ivy I need to go as Leon's parents have called him so many times so they must be worried and Leon also said that he loves you and that he doesn't wants to talk with anyone else so I need to manage things there

Ani - Ivy I need to go too please take care of yourself and him cause I don't want you guys to be separated again

With this they both left even before she could answer and Ivy went to prepare a soup for Leon

after an hour she returned and woke Leon up

Ivy - Hey look I made your favourite soup for you get up drink it come on

Leon - Will you feed me?

Ivy couldn't say no as she knew it would hurt him so she fed him and gave him the meds as she already had the doctors checked him while he was asleep

after taking the meds Leon again slept as he could not endure the pain Ivy sat beside him and did everything she could to help him get a better sleep

it was almost night and so she woke him for his meds and the dinner but he was even worse then in morning he seemed to have been having a stroke as he barely managed to get up

when Ivy noticed this she walked up to him and help him get out of the bed and after dinner she was about to go to the guest room but he stopped her and told her to sleep beside him

Ivy didn't wanted to hurt his feelings and no one was home yet so she agreed as he might need her at night

it was almost 12 now and Leon woke up as he was in a really uncomfortable state the room temperature made it even worse he kept his eyes close and tried searching for something that could provide him some warmth

his hand reached Ivy's he scooted over her he wanted to hug her tightly but kept in mind to not cross his limits

Ivy woke up cause of his groans and movements she found him in such uncomfortable state and quickly increased the temperature then realising what he was trying to do she hugged him and he quickly hugged her back a tear fell from his eyes

Ivy realised it and swept it away she sat on the bed kept his head on her lap she massaged his head to help him feel better

he hugged her waist and being half conscious he said "Please please never leave me" he kept repeating this Ivy couldn't bear seeing him so anxious she quickly replied "Of course I won't I will never leave you I just love you so much"

After hearing these words Leon had an unknown smile on his face and he slept Ivy smiled looking at him and fell asleep too

in the morning Leon woke up and realised he was still hugging her his cheeks burnt when the memories of him begging her to stay came to his mind but then he blushed remembering her confession

he kissed her forehead causing her to wake up

she felt really happy to see he was fine now and she stayed in Australia for a few months before he proposed her and they got engaged
