Chapter 42 - It is my responsibility of chasing your demons away and I would. (2/2)

”Let me go please.” At this point, I did not care if my voice started sounding desperate of helpless. I just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry out all the pain in my heart, far away from him.

”Innaya, if you are angry on me, then take it out but not this. I won't hurt you- never, please, I am sorry. I am truly sorry sweetheart.” His apology broke my heart once again. He sounded so sincere and I knew he was being honest. Deep down, I knew, he would never hurt me, at least not intentionally. My past did make me apprehensive of trusting people or new relationships but I never felt that with Eshan.

”Now you will listen to me carefully, without making a sound and without trying to run away.” His command left no room for further argument, not that I was going to put up a fight when my one move could hurt him.

”First of all, I don't think you are liar because for the fact I know you are not.” He stressed on last three words proving his point. ”You don't need to do anything to gain my attention because the day you accepted me, you had and have all my undivided attention. I have every right to worry about you, the very same you have that right over me.”

My heart skipped a beat as the weight of his words dawn on me. How could he so simply say something like this and even remain calm? I downright accused and insulted him and yet here he was instead of getting angry was being patient.

”I admit. I want to know about it. However, I want to make you comfortable enough that you, yourself, will share everything with me. Forcing you or avenging would be the last thing I would do ever to anyone and would never do with you. You are my wife not some criminal to interrogate. You my beautiful wife, you are my life and everything that concerns you, it concerns me as well. It is my responsibility of chasing your demons away and I would. You just need to let me in. You get me?”

The damn tears broke free from their restraints and flowed mercilessly from my closed eyelids. His words hit the deep chord of my heart and had me feel more remorseful of my earlier actions. The rusty metallic taste made me realised that I had bitten hard on my lip at the very same point unconsciously.

”Shh... I am here. Stop crying, sweetheart.”

I broke into another sob at his pained voice. Eshan brought his hand towards my chin and raised my tear stricken face for his eyes.

”Don't cry please.” He shook his head before he wiped the tears from my face.

”I am sorry.” That came out almost breathless.

Eshan caressed my cheek tenderly; his eyes visible softened but were apologetic as he spoke, ”Don't be. I know you were worried about me and this atmosphere of hospital must have taken toll on you. You should go home. I know you hate hospitals. I am truly sorry for everything.”

He was right about me hating hospitals but I did not want to leave him. I had forgotten about my dislike towards hospital and remembered only when he mentioned. Even in his discomfort, he was thinking about mine comfort. How did I get so lucky?

The sound of door opening had me straighten in my position. I hurriedly wiped my face and stood beside his bed when Eshan reluctantly loosened his hold.

”I just brought the doctor to make sure— that troublemaker husband of yours, is good and we can take him home.” Arjun announced as he walked in followed by rest of the guys and the doctor. We stood in silence as the doctor did his work.

My eyes though were trained on Eshan, I just couldn't take out the conversation we just had. How understanding he was being and was wonderfully handling everything, even me.

I could see why Grandpa was so sure about him, about us.
