Chapter 111
Part 68 :
Within the chilly Morning Shilpa tried to cover herself pulling the sweater close to her chest and in the same while managing the grocery bags in her hand..
Cautious enough not to drop any bag she takes small steps walking towards her house.. This was a daily routine which she often liked to do.. Walking outside in the chilly morning was peaceful.. Just as she made her way to the front of her house she spotted Armaan who was leaning on the wall near her house, his gaze steadily stick on her.. A chill ran down her spine seeing him back again.. Why was it so difficult not to be affected by his presence.. Gaining some strength she walked close to him with a blank look..
Shilpa : What are you Doing here.. How did you get to know where i live
Armaan : Nothing much.. I just stalked my wife to get the directions..
Unknowingly a smile formed in her lips as she stared at the man standing infront of her.. As she noticed his eyes pleading her for some answer she looked away from him and started to walk..
Armaan : Shilpa wait..
Shilpa turns back to him avoiding his eyes..
Shilpa : Please.. Armaan.. I dont want to discuss about last night..
Armaan looked at her and took a deep sigh..
Armaan : Ok I promise i wont talk about it.. But could you offer me some coffee .. I have been standing here waiting for you for a long time..
At once concern shot through her ..
Shilpa : You didint have your breakfast..
He looked directly in her eyes lovingly..
Armaan : No.. I am not feeling hungry.. A coffee would do..
At first She hesitated a bit.. Armaan eagerly waited for her to talk.. After several minutes Shilpa gave a nod to him making her way to the house..
Shilpa : Ok come in..
He followed her in with a smile and took the grocery bags from her hand.. Shilpa tried to protest..
Shilpa : No.. its ok I will take them..
Armaan : They are heavy.. Let me take it to the kitchen..
Shilpa looked in his eyes and gave a small nod.. She directed him towards the small kitchen.. Armaan kept the bags down and took a good look around noting how small her house was.. Shilpa caught him studying the place.. She spoke while taking the food out of the bag..
Shilpa : Its Small but perfect for me to live.. And its cheap..
Armaan gaze at her and gives a silent nod.. He takes a seat near the kitchen counter and keeps watching her every Move.. Shilpa was cautious enough not be nervous knowing he had his gaze stick on her..
Shilpa places the coffee and some breakfast infront of him when he protest..
Armaan : I said i just need some coffee..This is..
She interrupts his talk..
Shilpa : No plss have some breakfast..
Armaan smiles at her and takes a bite from his food.. He looks up and notice Shilpa who keeps her gaze down without a word..
Armaan : Wont u have breakfast.. ?
A hesitation seeps through her instantly..
Shilpa : I.. I will do later.. Am not hungry
Armaan takes a sigh and gets up from his seat.. He walks towards Shilpa making her heartbeat rise .. She keeps staring at him when Armaan slowly lifts her to the counter making her sit.. He moves his gaze down on her body and shakes his head..
Armaan : No wonder you look soo pathetic.. Hardly you take any food..
Shilpa looks down guilty trying to bring up a excuse.. But she knew it was useless as he already knew the truth.. Armaan took the plate in his hands offering her food.. Shilpa at first shakes her head when Armaan again probes her to eat.. Giving up she takes a bite staring at him intently.. He kept feeding her in silent while they both stared at eachother speaking out silent words through their eyes.. Its when Shilpa Realized still how much he cared about her.. He didint force her to speak out the truth.. Her eyes welled up as she stared at him sadly.. As he saw tears in her eyes he put away the plate and moved close to her with concern..
Armaan : Shilpa.. Whats wrong..
Shilpa : Plss.. Armaan.. Dont.. Dont be so nice to me.. I..
Armaan cups her face clearing away the tears from her eyes.. It pained him seeing the vulnerability she possessed within her..
Armaan : Cant you tell me the reason..
She saw the plead in his eyes it made her heart shatter into pieces..
Shilpa : Armaan plss.. Dont..
He kissed her forehead while hugging her tightly.. He didint wish to force her to speak out.. Knowing she might get away from him he decided to keep the talk away from sometime.. But he was determined to get to know the truth somehow.. Shilpa felt like coming back to home when he hugged her taking her within his arms.. This was too hard for her.. She had suffered a lot without him within this 2 years and now he is back in her arms it was too hard to let him go.. But with a heavy heart she moved out of his arms getting down from the counter..
Shilpa : I need to clean this Up..
Armaan gave a nod and get looking at her with a smile..
Armaan : You know something Shilpa..
Shilpa turned to him with questioningly..
Armaan : I guess everything is normal between us until the going back topic is brought..
Shilpa turned away from him while a small smile formed her lips hearing his words..
Next day evening Armaan walked inside the dine looking around desperately.. After yesterday he didint dare to go and meet her again.. The last thing he wanted was to scare off her from him.. But staying away from her was being too difficult for him knowing the fact she was close yet he cant get her.. Just then he felt a tap on his shoulder he turned around to see a guy who had a tough look on his face.. By his looks Armaan realized this was a goon..
Guy : Man.. You are standing infront of the door blocking our way..
Armaan ignored his sarcastic tone.. He moved away when the guy held his arm..
Guy : You look new in town.. what brings you here.. Looking for some girls i guess..
Armaan feels anger rise in him as he sees the Guy laugh with his friends..
Armaan : Whatever reason i have its non of your business..
The man stops laughing and shots him a look of anger.. Just then Lena came between them breaking the tension..
Lena : Whats going on here... Anthony what are you doing...
The guy forces a smile while looking at Armaan..
Anthony : Nothing Lena.. I was just introducing myself to this new guy in town..
Lena ignores him and turns to Armaan
Lena : The person you are looking for is not here yet... She has no shift today..
Disappointment seeped through him at once..
Armaan : Ohh.. I wanted to have a talk with Shilpa..
Anthony interrupts his talk..
Anthony : Shilpa.. ? Why are you looking for her..
Armaan glared at Anthony..
Armaan : As i said .. Its Non of your business..
Anthony was about to say a word when two guys near him stopped.. He looked at him in anger.. Then it replaced with a smile..
Anthony : Aww now i get it.. You also found her attractive right.. I must say she is such a bomb.. Stupid girl always keep ignoring me everytime.. But someday i am gonna get my hands on her for sure..
Armaan felt the anger rise in her hearing the filthy words from the his mouth.. In Anger he pulls the person from collar and drags him out of the cafe'.. As they gets out Armaan push away the guy roughly panting in anger.. Anthony gets up from the ground and moves towards Armaan and gives him a hard blow on his face.. Armaan feels blood ooze from his mouth.. He moves towards Anthony and push him away Harshly..
1 hour later :
Shilpa keeps staring outside the window with thoughts flooding in her mind... It was hard staying away from Armaan knowing he was close to her.. Shilpa close her eyes remembering about him when suddenly her phone rings.. Getting up she takes the phone from the other end Lena speaks..
Lena : Shilpa.. Something very bad has happened..
Shilpa felt a fear rise in her instantly..
Shilpa : Lena.. what.. Tell me..
Lena hesitates for a second..
Lena : Shilpa.. The guy Armaan.. He came today looking for you.. And then Anthony also came at the sametime..
Shilpa felt her handshake wondering what was coming up..
Lena :They had a big Fight.. Your Husband.. He is very badly injured.. Same condition of Anthony.. But i guess this Armaan is more hurt as i think his head is wounded badly..
Shilpa felt her heartbeat stop hearing the painful words from Lena.. She felt the phone slip from her hand.. Armaan.. Fear seeped through her as she panicked badly.. Just then she felt someone tap on her door.. Shilpa ran and opened it to see two colleagues who worked with her in cafe' held Armaan who was beaten hardly.. She felt her eyes get welled up seeing his condition.. Stunned she quickly directed them to carry him to her room.. As they placed him on the bed Armaan winced in pain making her cry more.. As they left Shilpa walked back to Armaan and set close to him holding his cheeks while sobbing..
Shilpa : Armaan.. Armaan.. Plss..Can you here me..
He opened his eyes with and gave a small smile to her.. With very much difficulty he spoke in pained voice..
Armaan : I.. Told.him.. to keep his dirty hands off my wife.. he wont bother you.. anymore..
Shilpa cried hearing his voice.. The guilt within her grew as she realized he almost gave up his life to protect her from a goon.. He tried to move his hand towards her but it was too much painful..
Armaan : If u keep crying how will i recover from this wounds.. Shilpa clears her face and nods her head sadly..
Next two hours She spends clearing up the blood and wounds.. Everytime she silently cries as she hears him wince in pain.. As she does the dressing of the wound on his head she slowly helps him to sit up and makes him eat painkiller.. Armaan looks up at Shilpa and notice tears in her eyes..
Armaan : Hey.. Why are you crying.. Shona i am fine..
Shilpa : Armaan.. You got hurt cauxe of me..
Armaan pulled her close to him in the bed while she cried softly..
Armaan : I got hurt cauxe i wanted to protect my wife..
Shilpa : Does it hurt much...

Shilpa's eyes shot up as she looked at him stunned hearing his words..
Shilpa : Armaan.. You..

And Soon gets to know how much pain she was going through.. I saved her from just like i did today.. The girl comes with me to Mumbai.. Makes me a responsible changed person..
