Chapter 44: chapter 44

I was completely frightened by the way I was kept mum. I wanted to protest and badly wanted to get out of the tight grip.However, I couldn't. The grip was very strong making all my efforts to free myself useless.I couldn't even see his face, my back was towards him and I couldn't rotate my neck to see either because of his strong clutch.Moreover, the considerations which were horrifying to me were.. Who is this person? What does he want from me? That unknown person took me to a place away from the tents in the forest side.This was taking my fear to peak.Post a couple of minutes, the person's stride paused and his grip loosened.I turned towards him with a sudden jerk and was stunned to discern his face. Neil ? What is he doing here?Where was he these days?"Release me", I attempted to push him away as he was still holding my hands. He neither responded nor moved an inch.He just kept on gazing at me with inexpressible emotions in his blue orbs.I didn't bother. I already had enough."What's wrong with you?", I yelled. "What's wrong with you, daddy's little girl?", he said, finally. "That you should answer me", I retorted."I am here to explain. However, are you ready to trust me?", he said."I already did. Now, I don't want to be an emotional fool again", I paced in the opposite direction. "Please listen to me", he followed me.I disregarded and headed towards our tents, with him trailing behind me. Why is he here all of a sudden?Where was he these days?"Okay! We will not talk about this, but at least give an ear to something very important", he urged. Important?What could be more salient than what he did to me?"This is really important", he insisted. No, he might be bluffing. I can't trust him and make way for the same crap. "No matter what you say or pretend, I know you feel the same for me as I do", he added.Why he has to say all these things always?"No matter how far you try to go, I will be more and closer to you, daddy's little girl", he added another.Don't! Please don't! I closed my eyes and tears ran down my cheeks. His words were making me go weak on my knees.Does he really mean what he is saying?If so, what was all that I saw?Princy's words.The way Princy was looking at him.The way he was comforting her.*thought clicked*That day at restaurant with Ayu and Yash, he left all of a sudden after discerning a girl passing by. Even I thought she was Princy.Was that really her?What's happening here?Ugh!I felt as if my head would burst. "Enough", I shouted."Why? Will my words pull out your feelings for me?", he increased his pace."Neither there was anything, nor will ever happen, Neil Sir", I gave back."How could you ever say this?", he was dismayed."Don't ask me anything as of now", I tried to walk away."Why? Just because you might blurt out the truth?", he held my arms."I said I am not interested in withholding this baseless conversation", I struggled to  get out of his warm clutch. "Baseless? What was all that after accident? You didn't care about your own injuries and ran to me forgetting everything", he spoke.He kept on giving valid points one on another."I know you love me too. But, your past is the reason for your denial", he smiled.I tried to hold myself in all sorts, nonetheless, my emotions couldn't bear it, forcing me to do what I never wanted to do in his presence. "Stop! Please stop", I broke down."Why are you holding yourself back? Talk to me. I will make everything fine as before", he kneeled before me."I AM TIRED. P..Please leave me alone", I could hardly speak amidst my sobs.He went quiet all of a sudden. I could feel his eyes on me as if he was scrutinizing my soul. "Fine. I am leaving not because I was wrong or I want to. It's just because I can't see you in this state. Moreover, it shouldn't be because of me", he got up. His voice cracked. I stood straight and ran towards the tents without sparing a glance at him.As I reached, I saw Abby and a couple of colleagues near the bonfire."Where were you?", Abby asked."Um..j..just went out for a walk", I replied."Walk? That way?", he said pointing towards the forest."Aah..", before I could finish a couple of girls shouted."Neil Sir?"Why are they getting so excited to see him?"What a wonderful surprise? You joined us for the freaking first time?", Abby came in."Why aren't you happy?", he gave a fake chuckle."Super-happy", Abby laughed."Join us", Abby added.He agreed. Next morning, we all headed towards the mountain with all portable necessities.I never went for trekking before. It was a nice experience, at least a moment away from my chaos.Neil was there and he didn't bother much.I don't know why, nevertheless, I was feeling that he was here for a purpose.But, what?He was keeping a distance from me though he was vigilant about me.I could feel that in my bones. Next day, we were to explore few nearby places.We came back and was having dinner."Okay guys, let's head back now", Neil ordered."What? We had other plans for tomorrow, Sir", Julie cribbed."I know. I am sorry, we have to leave by tonight", he declared.Why is he behaving so?I really felt something was wrong now. ********************************What do you think, why Neil is here? See you in the next chapter!Till then stay tuned and miss me.😉#KeepReading #KeepLoving♥️♥️
