chapter 23

Aisha's POV His voice echoed in the whole room."I do have many girls in my life who likes me. But.. the only girl in my life I have admired is the one in the mirror." I kept looking in the mirror. Was it real? He just had.. did he really? I felt the heat flow towards my cheeks. I am blushing. Oh noo.. why? He said he likes me. How? But.. how can this be? He suddenly spoke up again."Take your time. I don't want you too hurry." He smiled. It's embarrassing. My lips are frozen. My whole body is numb. He was smiling looking at my reflection in the mirror. Is it a dream? Yes this is dream. Wake up Aisha. I heard his voice, "Let's go." I held his hand and made him turn around. "Is this for real? Am I dreaming?" I said looking in his eyes.He smiled and took a step near me. His face was so near to me. Is he kissing? No please. I closed my eyes tightly. He chuckled. And went back."I will be waiting for you in the car." He said firmly and walked down. I calmed myself down. It's okay Aisha. I rubbed my hand on my chest. And walked down. He had already asked the girl for contact. When I came down he was talking with her. He smiled at me. I ignored him and went directly in the car. He came behind me and started the car. "Do you want to final the room? It was good I think." He asked.I nodded. He sighed and said, "If you have any questions you can ask me."I stared at him and said after few seconds, "Why?"He answered quickly. "Because I really love you."When he said this butterflies flied in my stomach.  I sighed. No Please.. don't do these.. I was silent for whole time. He tried hard to make me feel comfortable by buying icecreams and chocolate milk shake. Sorry Ashton.. we can't be together. No one will accept this. We went to wedding venue to complete preparations by today and then came back home. I was quiet nervous for whole day. I went to my room after dinner. He didn't mentioned it again. But he was happy and nervous at the same time. I can't call Sara as she was on picnic with Ethan. I can't disturb her. It's annoying. Should I accept him? But how can I? It's just one month we are living together. I slept in the thoughts running through my mind. Next day I woke up. My eyelids felt heavy. I'm so tired. I took a hot bath and came out. I think he is already up. The smell of omlette spread in my room. I wore a black short jeans and oversized pink tshirt tucked in the jeans from front. I wasn't in mood to go to the venue. I went down and sat on the chair restlessly. I kept my face on the hands and closed my eyes. He came near me."Didn't you slept properly at night?" A soft gentle voice came through my ears. I avoided eye contact and said, "You are good at cooking now."He smiled at me and sat next to me. After sometime he spoke up,"Don't think too much Aisha. I don't want you to worry about it all time. Focus on your health. Your health matters more than your answer."I nodded worryingly. He continued, "Tomorrow is the wedding at 10 am. You need rest to get up fresh tomorrow. Even I don't have too much work today. Chris will be coming at home in noon. And we get ready by 7 AM tomorrow. Ester needs you there with her."I nodded again and smiled at him. I came out of my room during lunch time. I saw Chris and Ashton talking in the hall. Ashton turned to me."Should I order Pizza?" He asked.I rolled my eyes and went to kitchen. I heard Chris walking up in his room. Ashton came near me. "What do you want to eat?" He asked me again with his cheerful smile. It's melting me but I don't have to. He came closer to me. My body stiffness. He bent little as his face was so close to me. I can feel his warm breath. He hissed, "You are so cute." His words slowly made my cheeks turn pink. I turned myself to look at other side. I smiled to myself but tried hard not to look at him. He took his steps back and said, "Let's watch movie. I am ordering Pizza." And went out. I felt so embarrassed. I drank a glass of water and went out behind him. I saw Chris coming down. "Hey Aisha. How are you? Long time no see." He said smiling."Hello Mr. Chris. I'm good. What about you?" I said and sat on the couch infront of them. He took place beside Ashton."I'm nice too. My work is almost over. I will go back after sometime." He said.Why does he need to go back? It will be more embarrassing. After sometime he stood up and said, "Okay. I will leave now. Hav.."I interrupted, "Mr. Chris. Why don't you join us for lunch." I stood up while saying it. "No.. I mean.... I've some work. And I'm already full." He replied. I nodded and smiled at him. He left the house. My last attempt failed. I focused on the movie. Why is he suddenly watching romantic? I can't control myself in kissing scenes. The whole universe is annoying me. It suddenly started a kissing scene. They were almost close. Even Ashton was staring at me. No please.. A doorbell rang. It distracted both of us. He smiled at me, "May be it's our pizza." I nodded back. He went to take the order. I changed the channel immediately to news channel. He came back after sometime keeping the three pizza boxes at the table between us. He sat infront of me and smiled. "Be comfortable. I'm not gonna kill you." He said with a soft chuckle. I calmed down myself while opening the pizza box. He was still staring at me. I felt embarrassed more and more. I finally shouted at him, "How can I be comfortable after all this?" It was something out of anger but in my mind I was enjoying it somewhere. He chuckled and then said in serious tone, "Have you thought about it?" I can't reject him. He is perfect in everything. "I have many questions regarding it.."He interrupted, "You can ask anything.""Yeah I know. But it needs time to realise it. It's surprising for me." I said and a tear fell from my eyes. I tried to hide it from him but he caught me."Why are you crying? It's okay Aisha. I have waited for you from four years. I can wait even more." He said holding my hands. My hands felt warmth. I looked at him. I was shocked. Four years? "Four years? It's just four month I have joint and not even a month I'm staying with you. How?" I screamed.______________________________________________
