chapter 18

He stared at me for few seconds and stormed to his car. Edward and Olivia left after him. Soon he arrived infront of me with his car. I was scared to move inside. Is he angry? Or sad? I don't know what he will do now. Suddenly, a window glass slided down. He peeped from the  open window."Don't you want to accompany me to the wedding venue?" He asked desperately. I nodded in embarrassment. And opened the door of car and took my seat. In the whole journey I tried to look at him. He had his usual cold look, trying hard not to show his mind. But his eyes told everything. He didn't liked my words. I wanted to talk with him but it was hard for me to open mouth.It was evening, when we reached the venue. It was just out of the city in the lawn of green grasses. And only one white hall for bride and groom to get ready. It was the best place to get married. We only talked little and just about some decoration over their. At every single time I felt him gazing at me. After roaming here and there and discussing about everything, finally we have to leave this place. While leaving he visited the owner to talk about decorations and cost. We went inside the cabin on the top floor in the white building.  A young women in a red dress was sitting on the chair. We approached her. She welcomed him. She got up from her chair and came to us walking. "Hello Ashton. I missed you buddy." She said while hugging him. I was surprised by her actions. I did felt some sort of jealousy in my mind.Ashton tried to move her away, but she neared him more. This time I felt my heart burning. I stared at her weird actions. Fuck! Why is it making me angry? She didn't even looked at me and held his hand in hers and took him inside. She made her hairs wave at their maximum extent, trying to impress him. But he was still cold. Finally she sat at her own seat which was not close to him. It relieved me. I went to him and sat beside him. "So Ashton. What are you here for? I just love seeing you." She said while curling her bangs with her finger. I can't stand here. She is flirting with him. Is he.. is he mad or what? Can't he see??He answered, "Julie, we came here for wedding discussion. Let's do it first." She became serious now and told us everything. We discussed about every type of design they had. But Ashton didn't liked any of them. He gave his own ideas and accepted the cost whatever it can be for just asking the workers to work with us. After the work we headed back. He didn't talked with me for the whole time except for work and wedding discussion. While entering home I asked him, "What should we cook for dinner?" He was on his way to room on the half stairs. Without turning back immediately a reply came , "I'm not hungry. I will go to sleep."I felt sad. I know I shouldn't have said that. But I think it's the truth. I kept silent and went to the room. I changed myself into my pink nighties and went to kitchen. I never skip meals. And I don't like others who are living with me skipping it. I made veg noodles for both of us. In the hope that if he felt hungry he will join me. After preparing the dishes I went to call him. He opened the door."Let's have dinner please." I asked him with collecting courage. "I'm not hungry. You should go." He said and slammed the door on my face. His eyes told that he is tired and he should eat something. I came with our dish and called him again. "Mr. Ashton!" He replied without opening the door, "Please go.""I won't go until you open the door." I said loudly."Then stand their whole night." He replied back. "Okay." I stood there itself. After few minutes he opened the door. "Why are you standing?" He said annoyingly."You told me to stand? Don't you?" I answered him without hesitating. He got annoyed, "Okay, what's your problem?""Let's have dinner." He sighed and made me way inside his room. I went inside and kept the dishes on the table. And arranged two chairs in opposite directions near it. I pulled up one chair and looked at him with my puppy eyes."Have a seat sir!" I said.He sighed in annoyance and without doing more drama he sat silently. I took my seat and started to eat. He ate everything at once. I knew he was hungry. "You weren't hungry. Right?" "Ummm... Yup..." He hesitated. I smiled to myself.After the dinner I went to kitchen and washed the dishes. He was looking at me from his room's door. He should have come and wash dishes with me. He is more annoying. I asked him from kitchen, "Do you want anything Mr. Ashton?""Nothing." He said and went inside.Next day I was getting ready. I felt stomach pain. I ignored it and went to kitchen. I felt the more pain. I was just too much tired.. I sat on the floor holding my tummy. I made a glass of water to fall on the floor. And cried loudly, "Aaahhh." He came down running and held my face in his hands."What's happening? Are you okay?" He said as he got tensed."My stomach... Stomach hurts..." I said stammering and closed my eyes. He took me in his hands and kept me on the couch. I hugged myself. He brought water for me and helped me to drink. After few minutes I realised it's my periods. I forgot to bring sanitary napkins here. He was still sitting near me calling doctor. How should I tell him? It's embarrassing to have periods infront of him. "No.. Don't.. Don't call.. doctor. I'm... I'm..okay." I said trying to sit on the couch."How come you are okay? Let me call doctor, now." He shouted at me."Listen.. please.." I tried to speak. "I think I'm.. I'm.. ble..eeding.""You are bleeding? From where did you got hurt? And when? Show me." He said worryingly. It's hard to tell him. "I can't show it.. Can you bring something for me?""Anything for you. Tell me what do you want." He said without hesitating. I gulped. "Sanitary.. sanitary napkins.." I finally said it.He stood up from me. "Okay I will bring. Where is it in your room?""You.. need to buy.." I said restlessly."Okay. Wait for me I will bring."I nodded. He went out. I tried to head towards my room. And finally reached. I entered bathroom. My abdomen was so hurting a lot. I just closed my eyes and kept waiting. Please come fast... ______________________________________________
