Chapter 64 - Uneasy Feelings (1/2)

I got up from the bed and went to get the lighter from my drawer. These papers are the evidence of my dumb decision, a stupid mistake that I had made six months ago. These are the contract papers that we both sighed with each other's consent.

I never thought that the outcome of those papers were going to be this but it is true that what we think for our future, it may not be true. Now these papers are being burned by the fire of my lighter. Soon there will be only ashes left.

” Done!”

” You seem so energetic.”

” Of course! I feel like a teenager who confessed to his crush and they said yes to it.” Too much cliche? I think not. After all, when you are in love everything becomes so dreamy. It's a type of feeling, where your heart blooms like a flower.

” So, that's it then?”

” For now? Yeah. By the way, besides your brother Neil, there are four people who knows about the existence of the contract.”

” One should be Regina then what about others?”

” Luke, Mike and a guy named Dalton knows about this.” Stella raises her eyebrows wondering who is that Dalton guy.

” Oh I see. Other than Neil I have not told anyone about it.”

” That's good. Anyway from now on, we shall never discuss about it again. We will think that it never existed in the first place. Is that okay with you?”

” Yeah I'm fine with it.” With a chuckle she replied back.

” Please don't remind me of this in future. I will be super embarrassed.” I made a puppy eyes look while pleading her. She tried to cover her mouth with her hand since she didn't wanted me to see her laughing at my remark.

” I also want us to live a life where we won't get effected by the outsiders. It's better if we forgot about it and live our days happily. But even so, if there comes a day when you don't feel the same about me like now, you are free to walk away. Just let me know beforehand. Don't go cheating on my back.” I was shaken by her words. Why this talk again? We are finally going to live our love life like a married couple then why bring the topic of separation?

” Why is this question coming up? Haven't I told you already that my feelings for you won't change?” I put my heart into those words because I wanted her to feel my love.

” You never know. I believe that everyone has a right to be with the person they love. You can't hold someone by strength that's why-” I stopped her from saying further as my patience broken it's wall.

” Please Stella! Don't you have faith in me?” My words were filled with agony and anguish. The thought of her leaving me is just unbearable.

” I do.” There was a moment of silence between us. I felt that she has more to say which was why I refrained myself from talking. ” .... but I'm sacred.”

” You are sleeping here and that's an order.”

” Can you wait two more days?”

” What's there to wait for? You don't have to feel uncomfortable around me. It's perfectly normal and look at the good side. I will rub your tummy to sooth it, until you fall asleep. Isn't that a good offer?”

” It's embarrassing. But I can give it a try.” With that she went to sleep peacefully as I kept on soothing her tummy.

It was morning already when I opened my eyes. As usual we had done freshening up and changing into our work attire. We went to have our breakfast at the dining table. The doll bell rang when we were done eating our food. Lucy had escorted the person to us and sadly once again it was him.

”What the hell you are doing here?” Stella growled at Ray since she was angry after what happened yesterday. Even I was bit hesitant to talk with him.

” Wait-wait! Hear me out first.”

” Fine, speak.”

” I came here to apologise. I agree that what I have done is wrong but I did all these because I love you Stella. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before. I thought that you may stop being friends with me. In fact I thought that you will never get married and I can stand by you forever.”
