Chapter 221 - I felt home... (2/2)
”What were you thinking? Huh? I'm so mad right now. I'm mad at you. Stop smiling. I told you to stop smiling.”
Grabbing hold of her chin, I kissed her again. She would not stop smiling otherwise.
What was I to do with this woman?

I could have expected anything but not this. Judging from the way Eshan gave me a cold shoulder, I never thought he would kiss me.
Never.
Anything but kiss which stole away my breath.
From the background I was aware of the Arjun's displeasure which was like a mirage in the desert, only to fool others. Deep down he must be happy that the two closest people in his life were going to sort out there issues.
Eshan's kisses always made me breathless for I never remembered to breathe. This time, he acted so suddenly that I had no chance to respond. He made that remark of the widow, making me furious and hurt beyond limits. When I was berating him, he chose to silence my protest. What had gotten into him? His behavior was turning more and more unpredictable.
However, with his taking an initiative to kiss me, I understood that our bad days had ended. If we did not have hope anymore, he would have chosen to distance himself from me. Then that would have been quite a tough task. Now, I knew we were going to be okay.
I could not stop smiling after realizing that Eshan was confused. He just not knew whether to get angry or remain hurt. I certainly did not understand his reason, but I could read his dilemma.
He was just like me in some aspects. Both of us did not know how to handle ourselves when it came to the people we loved.
”What were you thinking? Huh? I'm so mad right now. I'm mad at you. Stop smiling. I told you to stop smiling.”
Hearing his words, he sounded like a child to me. A child who did not know what to do when his favorite cookies were hidden so that he did not have a toothache.
His lips pressed against mine again, a little bit firmly, a little bit strongly… and I welcomed his fit of frustration at himself and the situation with bubbling happiness in my chest and tears of relief in my eyes
Moments ago, I was so mad and hurt because of his carelessly spoken words. I was ready with words I would say to apologize and ask for punishment. I would have asked him to punish me in any way but not with those terrible words. The thought of losing him was enough to throw me in the bottomless darkness of depression. I could not bear the mere thought of it.
The moment his lips touched mine…
The moment those dark eyes filled with myriads of emotions he was unable to handle, met mine…
The moment I felt his desperation, and his guilt…
The moment his warm breath caressed my face…
I felt home.
