Clean Bowled

Chapter 28

*Aslesha*

The words echo in the silence of the room. Loud and clear.

Sorry?

Sorry?

Now he's saying sorry? But the damage has already been done. Sorry se kya hota hai?

"Ab konsi chiz ke liye use karna hai mujhe?" I ask with a fake smile and he lowers his head.

"Jo maine kiya vo galat tha. I shouldn't have behaved..."

"Viraj just go. Leave me alone. I'm going to sleep now" I say. I don't wanna listen to anything from this fake ass person now.

"At least listen to me once" he pleads.

"Tumhe jo kehna tha vo tumne uss din keh diya. Mujhe aur kuch nahi sunna" I say getting up from the bed.

I walk towards him and try to push him out of the room. He doesn't move an inch. I push harder and still he doesn't bulge.

"Fine! Stand here. I'm sleeping" I say getting irritated and walk towards my bed. I switch off the lights and lie down on the bed.

I close my eyes and turn away from him. Ab chala jaayega hopefully. I hear the click of the door and breath a sigh of relief. Chala gaya.

That thought soon vanishes when I feel the bed sink beside me. I sit up in a jerk and see Viraj sitting on the bed.

"Are you crazy? Just go, please mujhe sone do" I say rubbing my forehead.

"No" he states.

"No?"

"No. Tumhe meri baat sunni hi hogi" he says firmly.

"Mujhe kuch nahi sunna. Mai kisi aur room me ja ke soti hu" I say  getting up.

The next thing happens so fast I hardly get to process it. Viraj yanks me back on the bed so hard that I fall back on the bed. And then he's above me.

This is so inappropriate! Fuck!

"What the fuck! Get away from me" I say pressing my hands on his chest and pushing him. He takes both of my hands and pins them on either side of me.

My mind would have gone in a complete frenzy if I would not have been mad at him. But I'm mad now! Completely and really mad!

And our proximity, or the way his body weight is deliciously pressing down on me has no effect on me at all. Not at all.

Liar liar.

"You better listen to me or I'll make you listen, in any way I deem fit" he whispers threateningly.

"Y.. you wouldn't" I say my voice sounding breathless. What's wrong with me? Get a grip Aslesha!

"Is this a challenge" he asks, his face perfectly serious and intense.

Do I even have any other option now? 'Bachaao bachaao' chilla ke bhi faayda nahi. Yaha kon sunega? And I just want him to get away from me as soon as possible. This position we're in, is wrong on so many levels.

And then too it feels right.

No, stop stop! Just listen to him and he'll get up.

"Fine! I'm listening. Just move now" I say pushing him again and this time he pulls himself away and lies down beside me.

I again try to get up but Viraj holds my hand and pulls me back. "Stop getting away from me Aslesha. I'm not gonna hurt you" he says a little angrily.
