Chapter 35 - Does Eshan, know about your PTSD? (2/2)

I couldn't help but think about his past. His sad blue eyes were holding the pain in them. His distress was palpable and I could feel the pride he had for Eshan and concern for me in his voice.

I gazed at him, trying to discover something I didn't know.

”Tell me your story?”

Arjun asked.

”What story?” Fear once again gripped me, thinking about what he was asking. Was he asking about the trauma or stress that led to my PTSD?

”The one when you felt it was love at first sight and decided to spend your life together for eternity with my stupid friend.” Arjun chuckled playfully. Just like that, sad Arjun was gone and cheerful Arjun replaced him.

”There was no such thing,” I replied, knowing full well that he was in a teasing mood.

”Like hell, there was not. If it was no such case then why you guys got married in such a short time. Please don't give me the excuse of auspicious date,” Arjun scoffed as if he felt we lied to about it.

Who wouldn't? We lived in a modern era and things like this were considered jokes for many out there.

”Why don't I answer that question for you my dear friend.”

Eshan's voice sounded from behind and I turned to see him throwing daggers at Arjun.

I sighed in relief as Eshan returned back to handle his playful friend. Moreover, somehow, he understood my silence and not for once probed me for information.

However, this question had reminded me why and how I agreed for this marriage. All because of Grandpa's letter, he had left behind for me.
