Romance The accident - by krish_999 (Completed)

[Ramesh_Rocky]

Back at room, while breastfeeding little Vinnee and while putting him to sleep, she told me her heartbreaking story. Story about her dreams of becoming a teacher. About the family pressure. About an indecisive father and a dominant uncle. About his daughter who had eloped with a tea seller long ago which eventually became his tool to brainwash every parent of every girl he ever met. About Karthik, who used to chase her throughout her childhood and who eventually managed to grab the price because of his five digit white color job. About the dreams that were shattered with a marriage.

I sat on one edge of the bed and looked deep into her eyes. I saw a girl who loved to dream. Most of them daydreams.

"Tell me about your love story..."

I asked as I leaned back to the head rest.

"What love story? I don't have one."

She said without looking at me and sat on the other side of the bed.

"Don't lie to me.. look at me.."

She looked at me and we kept glued into each other's eyes for a few moments. Then she looked down.

"Yes, there was a boy. I wanted to be loved by him. But he freaked out soon. He was scared of my uncle."

"What about you?"

She laughed at herself.

"Me? Oh, I was a scaredy-cat. No way..."

"How about now? Do you still want to be loved?"

Her gaze fell back on me again.

"No.."

Her voice was soft.

"You can speak your heart, your uncle is not here..."

"But I'm still scared.. scared of myself.."

"You're scared of love?"

"I'm scared of falling in love with you..."

"I have already fallen for you Deepika."

I spoke the truth. I was done with talking. She seemed stunned of my confession. I extended my hand to her.

"Come here. Sit with me."

She didn't wait even second to comply with me. She dragged her body to me and sat next to me. I quickly put my left arm around her. She looked into my eyes.

"What are you going to do?"

Her voice was softer than ever. I touched her face with my right palm and turned it to me.

"Are you still scared to be loved?"
