Chapter 85 - Just Two Of Us (2) (1/2)

| Eshan |

Innaya and I had settled comfortably on the couch as I played the movie. Since I had built a movie room with a home theater a long time ago, I knew watching the movie would be a beautiful experience since I had my love beside me. I had desired to give everything to Innaya, and that was the reason I designed both the houses keeping our future together in my mind. I had worked harder for being able to provide everything to Innaya of the best quality. I did not realize when my life started revolving around her.

No matter what happened, no matter what would happen - nothing and absolutely none could change the fact that I loved her. I was insanely and irrevocably in love with her. The kind of love that surpassed my every expectation, it amazed me how much I loved her.

Had I not loved her to that extent, lashing out on her when it was actually her who did not trust me, would not have affected me enough to blame myself.

I had taken it upon myself because I loved her way too much to not accept that it was my responsibility to take things smoothly with her. Knowing her fears, I should have dealt with the situation more patiently and carefully.

I had been too busy visualizing her happy face after I gifted her, the new farmhouse, on our six month wedding anniversary. In that anticipation, I neglected our present.

I sighed as I watched Innaya as she was immersed in the scene unfolding before us. We were watching- Me Before You. Innaya had suggested putting on something random that we had not seen earlier, and I got my hands on it.

I did not know the story, but I wished I had spent some time in searching about the plot of the movie because, by the time we reached the end, my wife was in tears, she had gripped my hand as firmly as she could - to the extent where it hurt, but I did not mind that. If holding onto me helped her, then I would gladly bear the pain silently.

At that moment, the only thing I wished for was that I had not played the movie. It was a tragic love story. Innaya kept her head on my chest as she held onto me. She did not let me go, and the feeling would have been beautiful had I not known the fears that were clouding her mind.

”I am not going to go leaving you alone ever.” I stroked her hair gently as I promised her.

Her frightened petite figure that clung onto me brought me an insight of her fears, and I hated it. I hated seeing her scared, anxious, and frightened. It was just a movie. I reminded myself, and I told her the same, ”It's just a movie, Innaya.”

She shuffled away from me in response. I did not like the distance she created in-between us. I wanted to pull her back in my arms, close to me. Having her in my arms, always assured me and smoothened my heart. After staying away for two months, there was that constant fear of losing her, and I hated it. Thus, I wanted to be near to her as much as possible, and at the same time, I did not want to overwhelm her with my presence.

Picking up a glass of water, I drank from it as I waited for her to speak. She stayed silent for a while, staring at the blank screen ahead.

”What if destiny takes me away from you?”

I heard her questioning me in her cracked voice. It was as if she was on the verge of crying again. I could not stay still anymore.

Placing the glass down on the table, I pulled her in my arms. I tightly wrapped my arms around her. ”I'll find you from any corner of the world, Innaya. I'll find you,” I vowed to her and myself. I would never disappoint her, again.

Innaya attempted to smile at me, but it came more out as a grimace. Her beautiful face devoid of any artificial makeup stirred an intense longing in my heart. ”I'll find you from any corner of the world, Innaya. I'll find you,” I repeated again. I did not mind repeating it again and again until she believed me.
