Runaway

Chapter 22

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care
I'm not scared of love
Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?
So, baby, hold on to my heart,
Need you to keep me from falling apart
I'll always hold on
Cause you make me strong

shalini pov:

The sun blazed right through the curtains and fell on my face, I slowly fluttered my eyes open and moved away the comforters. I squinted my eyes and saw Adithya sprawled in the couch nearby me. his large figure was crumpled up in an edge, his arms wrapped around his body, he slept peacefully resting his head on the wall. Flashbacks of midnight came in front of my eyes, the worried look on his face, his promise that he will be there with me, his actions which smoothened my aching soul and my wrenched heart and the way he caressed my hair. I got up from bed and went near him, I brushed his hair and he switched his position a bit comfortable and smiled in his slumber.

I checked the time and I know we are late but I couldn't make my way to wake him up, I moved away from him and peeled open the curtains. the sun stood high in the sky, an arm snaked around my waist and I knew exactly who is that. i quickly spun around to see his sleepy face, he rubbed his eyes off and yawned like a little kid."Morning beautiful" he whispered with his wide eyed gaze. I was so lost in his eyes, and questioned myself, what lies beyond those angelic eyes which glistens in the sun? those beautiful, golden umber eyes with the tiniest kiss of the sun serene pools of honey, so deep, yet so pure, my heaven lies in those eyes. "morning" I mumbled quietly.

" yenna apadi pakura?" he asked

"why are you looking at me like that?"

I simply shrugged my shoulders, a quick chuckle left his mouth and he leaned forward and whispered "what are you doing to me shalini?" in my ears. I have to ask the same question adhi what are you doing to me, where is the shalini who didn't believed in love 2 months ago? I thought. "nee dhan solanum adhi. Am I affecting you that much?" I said with a smirk.

(you have to tell me)

When he was about to answer, I heard a loud bang coming from the outside of my room" ey shalini we have to go to the office now time ayiduchu, seekram va. Innum 10 minutes la velila varala, I am sure I will kill you" I sighed at Meghna words, adhi dipped his head down and said " indha rendu lovebirds kum timing theriyama vandhu kandatha olara vendiyathu" I laughed thinking yesterday's encounter with Arjun. I pushed him away and went near the closet to pick up stuffs to bathe" oi, seekram poi ready aagu, na late ah vandha excuse sollalam but ceo vae late ah poga kudathu seekram po." I said and rattle him out

( hey shalini, open up the door, we are late to the office, come down by 10 minutes) ( these two lovebirds doesn't know about timings) ( go and get ready soon, I can be late, but a ceo should not be late)

3rd person pov:

A girl who didn't believed in love and thought that love will always break, burn and end months ago was now ready to immerse her in this un- labeled bond of them, he who thought the void in him will never be completed and no one will love all his broken pieces now lost in a girl whom he never thought he will fall for. The fate bought them together, from the start to the end.

Shalini quickly got freshened up and slipped into a black and white stripped jump suit. She folded her comforters aside and hurriedly went out to see meghna waiting near the hallway, she quickly went near her and hugged her. it's their casual thing, their morning routine starts with a tight hug, it actually started the day when Meghna said she has no one beside her other than her sister, her mom and dad are divorced. Somehow shalini could relate to meghna's situation and Meghna felt a connection towards her, shalini always radiated a sister energy towards her. Soon they finished their breakfast at the hotel, and saw the trio waiting near the parking area.
