chapter 11

.•♫ Rain Rain Go Away ♫•.×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×ＥＲＩＫ "I-I love you Erik." She mumbles something like this and I hear it. Am I hearing something wrong? "No! You heard it right." My mind says and I turn to her. I break the hug to look at her and she turns to me confused and scared. Maybe, she's thinking I would refuse.Oh God! Explain to her that... I'm at cloud nine because of this. "So, you are loving this rock man?" I ask and I smirk a little. Oh yeah! Let's tease her?Cmon! She punished me very badly. "I mean.. I-" She shutters but speaks nothing. She's nervous around me? Oh baby! I love you too. "Then.. What if I say.. Hmm.. Yes?" I say smiling and she just stares at me. She takes a moment and hugs me. "I- I knew it. I knew.. You had feelings for me." She hugs me even more tight and I never wanted to end this moment. The clouds were drizzling still and this time it was thundering more. She shivered a little. Bloody rain. I take her inside while carrying her in my arms and place her on the couch. "Ugm.. Can I ask you something now?" She asks me where I nod as Yes. "Hmm.. Why did you choose me?" She asks and I laugh. Everything in you, I love it. "I mean.. What difference did you find between me and your ex-wife, Misty?" She says rolling her eyes. I let out a chuckle when she does that. She don't like Misty. I get that. "Hmm.. You know what.. You are the best in your way. So.."She cut my words in the middle, "No No.. I know that but something must be there, right? Maybe.. Like something else?""Hmm... The thing which I liked in you is...", I pause and look at her. She's curious and I laugh at that look. I never thought in my dreams.. She's this beautiful in person. I cup her palms, "The way you were correcting me and made me walk into the correct path." I kiss her hand. "The way you always smile and dance in the rain. You were the best in my point of view. That's all.", I say and tuck her little hairs back behind her ear. She hugs me, blushing. "Tsk.. What you had seen in me? I mean.. I was so rude and broken but you faced me with your arrogance. So How come?" I asked her this time. I was wondering why she took interest in me. But then.. I left the thought saying "She must be thinking like an owner who doesn't want her tenants to ruin something precious to them.""You know! I watched you one day in "London Times". News flashing "Mr. Erik Dorgan rejected being the CEO of infinity solutions"." She says and I laugh at her reporter mimicking. "And the next time, maybe you don't know. But, I met you in your own wedding. I thought to tell you about Misty that day itself but I.. stopped myself." She pauses a second and continues,"Well! I know Misty Floren. We both studied at the same university. She was a bitch. I don't know how you loved her."I hold her hands and stare at her. It was never my choice. I need to let her know. "I didn't like her in the beginning. But.. She was nice to my parents and to me. She was an ideal wife to me back then until.. You know the rest." I say nonchalantly. Her doe eyes were calm and were happy. "But.. I need to tell you something more important." She says and I gesture to her to continue. "You know.. I stalked you everywhere and that's how I found you out, being divorced." She says shrugging off and I was quite surprised."I thought not to come in your way after knowing you were married, but your smile, your simplicity, your nature turned me into something which I didn't expect from you. I just fell in love with you the minute I got to know you were marrying Misty.""What?" She must be kidding me? "I know.. It's weird. But somewhere, I was crushing on you since the newsflash. I mean.. You were the millionaire but you rejected the offer. Cmon, you were rich and I just couldn't handle that you were trying to be a normal person." She stops and I just let out a chuckle. So.. What she's coming to? She hugs me tightly out of sudden."But, when I got to know you were staying here as a tenant, I was confirmed, you were a normal human unlike others. Just living a simple life. And that's how.. I fell for you." She says and hugs me more tightly because I was struggling underneath her. She's cute this way. I'm lucky to notice her cuteness. ButButButI just don't know... I am confused. "That is why, I didn't meet your gazes because I thought I may melt down and will turn soft to you. Because, I know you needed a proper treatment. The same medicine which you turned into." She says and I soften my eyes. Indeed, it makes sense now. "I just showed your true self and you were healing in the same way. I thought my plan may back fire me and I may hurt myself. So, I tried to hurt your own self respect at that time." "I know for some reason, A human values their self respect. And finally... I healed you." She was saying but I couldn't believe myself. She loved me so truly. And I deserve her? I mean how?She just spent her whole time with me just to change me? "Erik! Where are you?" I heard her and came back to my senses. She was having a scared look. Oh daisy.. Don't be afraid of me. "Nothing.. It's just that I don't like monsoon. They make me feel so cool. I need something to warm me up." I say and hug my pillow which was lying down. And, she turns angry. Cmon! I miss her glares. I just love irking her. "Oh!! So, I was talking about a very important thing and you? You were thinking about this monsoon?" She says in disbelief and gets up. But, I hold her wrist and pull her towards me. "I hate monsoon, baby. I will never love talking about that." I soft whisper and she blushes. "But I was.." I cut her. "Shh! You really speak a lot. Anyway, hear me out this time. You helped me and I just don't know how to return this favour." I say and she slaps me straight away on my cheek. Ah! That doesn't hurt anyway. "So.. You want to return my favour.. Then, dance with me in the rain." She says and I look at her in horror. The devil girl is back. "Eww!! I'll take my words back now." I say and get up from her, dramatically. "Hey!! I was kidding." She says and hugs my torso. I sit down and hover on her. Her hot breath and warm body is enough for me to spare this monsoon. I smiled at the sky when it was thundering.
