Chapter 58 - Eshan? (2/2)

His honey brown eyes, full of love were trained on me.

His lips never dropped the bewitching smile.

He was there, in flesh.

I never felt so grateful for anything in my life as much as I was feeling having him before me. I stumbled upon my feet while I covered the distance between us.

Without any preamble, I launched myself in his arms that were wide open as if anticipating my actions. I held onto him with everything in me. His arms wrapped around me, engulfing me in his warm embrace. Tears escaped through my eyes. Finally, he was here.

”I missed you, Eshan.”

I confessed, raising my head to look at his face.

He just smiled. Why was he not saying anything?

Confused, I placed my palm on his cheek. I watched the smile fading from his face. Minutes later, his lips dropped to the thin line, his eyes turned sad before he stepped out of the hug.

”Eshan?”

I missed his warmth. I felt empty once his arms left me. His eyes glazed with tears, and it broke my heart to watch him in agony. I didn't like it. I wanted his smile back, I wanted his arms around me like they were.

Eshan walked back as if looking at me was his mistake. As if he didn't want to be with me, and that hurt.

”Eshan. Please, where are you going? Stay, please, forgive me. I am sorry. Eshan,” I cried out. I tried reaching out to him, but I couldn't move my legs, they remain frozen in their place. With desperate eyes, I watched the scene unfolding in front of me.

With his, every step away from me was like a dagger in my heart. My chest constricted in pain. Tears streamed endlessly from my eyes. I watched him disappear in the dark before everything went black.
