Chapter 129 - Butterfrees (2/2)

I considered his question before answering. I didn't want to be hasty in replying. I searched in my heart for the answer. I then realized I was never angry rather I was hurt. The hurt caused anger. The root issue was hurt because of the things they hid from me, because of the lies they spoke to me.

However, after going through Mom's message and Eshan's explanation, I found it easy to forgive them. That did not mean I was going to accept it every time. No, and I had made it clear to him, and I was going to do it once more.

”No,” I responded. ”I was hurt, never angry.”

”Hmm.” Eshan stopped swaying us. His hand on my waist firmly pressed against my side, and I found myself raising my head at his sudden action.

”I promise, I would not hide truth again,” Eshan promised as his dark eyes lingered on my face seriously. I nodded my head in satisfaction. I wanted that promise from him. It was good that he was being attentive enough.

”I—”

My sentence was cut short when my stomach growled. I realized that I had not eaten for a very long time. We had our breakfast at nine o'clock in the morning. After that, things kept happening when Arjun arrived. When he left, I did not realize, but around seven hours had passed, and both of us forgot our lunch.

”I'll just prepare our lunch,” I told him as I started pulling away.

”No, I'll do it,” Eshan denied and wrapped both of his hands around me, caging me in his arms.

”How about both of us do? We'll finish it soon that way,” I offered, knowing there was no way he would allow me to do it on my own. My stomach was in urgent need of food as not having anything for so long was causing cramps to appear.

Eshan seemed to be contemplating my words, while in truth I knew he had long agreed to it. However, watching his serious face as if he was taking some important decision, was too satisfying. It looked like I was getting lost again. I should rather focus on feeding my stomach than my eyes.

”Okay,” he replied and slowly pulled away from his hands from around me with great reluctance. I smiled at his behavior.

We then moved to the kitchen for sorting some quick dinner as the evening approached.

”How about brinjal curry and roti?” I asked him after taking out brinjals and tomatoes from the refrigerator.

”Fine with me,” Eshan replied after he washed his hands.

I started washing the vegetables. Eshan pulled out pan and spatula from the drawers and kept them on the cooktop.

After he was done with it, he came beside me. ”Let me chop it,” he said taking the knife from the knife stand. ”And, first have this apple juice before this.” He handed me a glass of apple juice.

I knew there was no point in denying him. So, I silently accepted the glass from his hand. I remembered that I needed wheat flour, and the container was kept at the upper shelf. I needed Eshan's help as it was heavy, and after the intense make out we had just now, I didn't trust my strength anymore.

”Eshan, please help me take the container from the upper shelf,” I asked him as I placed the glass on the counter.

”Alright.” Eshan walked to the other side of the kitchen where containers were kept.

I also followed him, wanting to help him. However, just when I took a step forward and raised my head, I felt my head spinning. Suddenly everything went blank, and before I could realize what was happening, I lost control over my body.
