Chapter 77 [ 2]
1st scenario
‘The doorbell rang.‘
I came out of my room when I heard the sound. But, as soon as Aunty opened the door, I noticed Daniel standing there. He smiled as he entered the house and then turned to face me upstairs. He flashed me a partial smile. I also smiled at him.
But I had the impression he wasn’t very good. Is he depressed or thinking about something? I took a little step down the stairwell. Daniel was conversing with me, who was sitting next to her. “honey”. Mom called.
As a response, I smiled at her and said, “I’m here.” Mom explained, “Honey, I need to go to the hospital with your aunty.”
“hospital? But you didn’t tell me about it first. “When did you guys plan to go?” I asked.
“Honey, don’t get your hopes up.” “Actually, we’re going to see a doctor, and we’ll be back in an hour,” mom explained.
“But, mom, wasn’t it the last time we talked about it?” “You said you’d take me with you?” I said.
“Sheetal, we are not going to check up. We’ll talk about it. It won’t take long at all. Mom said, “That’s why we didn’t tell you.”
I sighed and turned to look at Aunty. Aunty smiled back at me.
“Daniel, are you remaining here?” Mom asked.
“Yes, aunty,” Daniel answered with a gentle smile. “ I’ll be here for a while. “You guys can depart; I’ll stay with Sheetal for the time being.”
“I appreciate it, love.” “Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon,” Mom assured. Mom and aunty left after a bit, leaving Daniel and me alone in the home. I sat next to him on the sofa. He was on the phone rather than talking to me.
I gave him a sidelong glance, but he didn’t seem to notice. He was completely engrossed in his phone. Then I said to him, “Daniel.”
“Yes,” Daniel answered, as he shook my hand.
“Are you okay, babe?” I asked.
He gazed at me instead of touching his phone. “Sheetal, I’m OK,” he stated.
“Then why aren’t you talking to me properly?” I asked.
“It’s nothing, sheetal,” Daniel remarked with a smile. All I wanted was for you to go read. And don’t worry, I’ll be remaining here. “
“I’m not talking about being worried. I’m talking about you. “Just tell me what’s upsetting you,” I said. “Sheetal, let’s go to your room,” he remarked with a nod.
For a time, I just stared at him. I got up without telling him and went upstairs. Daniel was just behind me, following in my footsteps. We entered the room and closed the door gently.
Daniel sat down on my bed and closed his eyes softly. Something happened to him, I’m sure. Since he was OK in the morning and what happened to him in a short amount of time? “Sheetal, do you love me?” he said unexpectedly.
Hearing him, I became a bit perplexed. “What exactly are you saying?” I questioned.
“Just respond to me?” “Do you love me?” he said, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.
“Of course I love you,” I responded, as I moved up to him and sat on the side of the bed.
“Sheetal, so you love me, right?” He said it again.
“Yes, Daniel,” I responded as I put my palm on his.
“So you fell in love the way I do?” he said, propping himself up with his elbow to face me.
I lightly smiled at him. Because I’m not sure what he’s saying and why? What’s the matter with him now?
“Daniel, what’s the matter?” I asked.
Daniel asked, “Just answer me, sheetal.”
“I am,” I replied.
I slid down next to him and gazed at his side. He ruffled my hair and began to play with it.
“What’s the issue now tell me?” I asked, my gaze fixed on me. He was stroking my hair with his fingertips.
“It isn’t much.” “I was only interested as to why you loved me,” Daniel said.
“Daniel”.
“Hmm.” He replied in hushed tones.
I raised my eyes to him. He has a mole on his chin. And I like his mole.
It is ideal for him. I lifted myself up with my elbow and kissed him there. Daniel’s gaze was fixed on me.
I know I didn’t love you with all my heart at first, but you gradually became my addiction. Those girls may have been right; you may simply have made them fall in love with you. But I’m starting to worry that I’ll lose you. I love you, and I’m constantly afraid that someone will come and take you away from me. I’m aware that it’s ludicrous at this point. You’re attempting to change yourself, so I don’t think I have to be terrified of it any more.
I put my hand on his cheek. “Daniel”.
“Hmm,” he answered once more.
I begged, “Please don’t leave me.”
He stopped stroking his fingers on my scalp all of a sudden. “Didn’t you say you loved me just the way I am?” Daniel asked Sheetal.
I clutched his face with both of my hands and said, “Of course I am.”
“However, I hate it when you hang out with your other female friends.” I am now available to you. “I figured I’d give you as much time as you want,” I said.
“However, Sheetal, when you have a chance for a medical, take it.” “Are you going to be able to remain with me all the time?” he asked. “Daniel, you’ll be busy at that time as well.” Will you be joining your family’s business?" I asked.
“Sheetal, you’re aware of our company. Dad also spent a lot of time abroad on business. Will you accompany me there if it happens to me? “Daniel asked.
That’s true. We won’t be able to do anything with this.
“Then, Daniel, there’s nothing we can do about it.” because I admire what you’ve achieved. I don’t want you to spend all of your time with me and ignore your work. “I also like my passion,” I said.
“Forget about it, Sheetal.”
Daniel rested his head on my chest and clutched me, saying, “I don’t want to worry about the future.” I brushed my hands through his hair.
Daniel abruptly said, “Sheetal, I love you okay.” “I love you, too,” I said, smiling.
Daniel’s point of view.
I’m at a loss as to what to do. But let’s leave it for the future. Everything will be OK.
