Chapter 339

Pryag was looking at her face for her reaction. She forced a smile on her face and folded the card and left it on the tray and picked up the fruits and asked him, “Would you like to have some?” He nodded “Yes” and they both ate some fruits. He noticed that he had spilled some juice on his T-shirt. He said, “Let me wash up or it might turn into a bad stain” He got up and walked towards her bathroom and she said, “Why don’t you use the one near the guest bedroom?” He looked up puzzled, “Why? This is right here?” She said, “Just use the other one. Here let me help you.” He starred at her for a minute and walked out of the room. She heard him in the other bathroom. In the meantime, she cleaned up everything in her room and stepped outside closing the door behind her. She kept the dishes in the kitchen sink and leaned on the kitchen counter and continued sipping her juice. He stepped out with a partially wet shirt. She couldn’t spot the stain as it was all wet and was sticking to his skin. There was a moment of silence between them. She looked up and said, “Thank you. It was very sweet of you to do something like that.” He didn’t even look up. He walked over to the couch without saying anything. He grabbed his coat that was there and the wallet that he had left on the table along with his cell phone. He walked towards the door and she asked, “You are leaving? What’s going on? Am I missing something?”

He turned around and looked at her and said, “You tell me what is going on here? Yesterday I tell you how much I love you and all you had a week smile. You made a big deal about me staying in your room. And today when I surprised you in your room, the expression on you face was not a total surprise but showed some discomfort. I ignored them all and now you made a big deal in me using your bathroom. And before that, when you read that note, I though you would be very happy, but you couldn’t even smile. You had to force a smile on your lips. I am ready to listen. Now you tell me what is going on.” He walked back into the room and stood in front of her. She was taken aback and was felt very defensive. “Well it is my room and I am not comfortable sharing it with anyone. So I was a little uncomfortable.” He said, “What! Are you serious? You are joking right?” She frowned and looked at him still with her juice class in her hand, “No I am not joking. I feel a little suffocated when someone invades my space.” He starred at her in astonishment. He didn’t know what to say. He shook his head back and forth in disbelief. “You do understand that we are going to be married.” He looked at her one more time and said, “You don’t love me, do you?” Looking at his expression she walked over to him and said, “I love you. I really do. But all this talk about marriage is suffocating me.” He starred into her eyes for a few minutes and said, “You love me. But you are not in love with me. There is a big difference. If you fell suffocated with me just coming into your room and using you bathroom, you are going to feel suffocated with me in you life permanently. At least I know how you feel now. Thanks for making a fool out of me.” She felt very defensive and said, “I did not make a fool out of you. It all happened so fast. You fell ill and I thought you were going to die. It was heart breaking and you proposed to me and now your parents are talking about marriage....” He looked up straight into her eyes. It felt like his vision would pierce through her heart like an arrow would. His look was so intense she couldn’t look him straight in the eye. His expression said, “How could you?” She turned away unable to bear his look.
