Lost

45

Writer's p.o.v:

Abhay took a deep breaths to control his visibly shacking body from nervousness. He leaned back in the chair to relax his body and counted  one to ten for n times to relax mentally before Aahana came from the kitchen.

She placed a tray with only a single glass of water on the table. Her body shook too because of which water spilled a little on the tray.

That didn't go unnoticed by Abhay.She is as nervous as him.

Aahana looked at him to find him already looking at her. There eyes locked before Aahana everted her eyes.

But Abhay couldn't stop himself from looking at her. He always thought how he can make the things right. He spent countless thinking how he ruined the relation instead of making it work,is there a any chance left for them or what makes him husband of his wife again.

He tried his best to find out where she is leaving. When he was so close to find out he left thinking she is better without him. Months passed with just thinking about things. Asking himself why,how etc.

When he saw her yesterday he thought this as a signal from God whom he never believed before.

Aahana moves in chair feeling his gaze.

The situation between them is so awkward that even the simple question like how are you can make it more awkward.

She observed how he sat. With legs spread wide, elbows resting on the arms of chair. She observed how is hand moved and scratched the beard which was thick. The heat she is feeling by looking at him.

"I will bring coffee for you." She said in hurry as she couldn't sit there anymore.

"No I don't want coffee" Abhay said not wanting her to move away from his sight.

Aahana sat back silently.

"Do you want to say something?" She asked as she want this extreme awkwardness to end.

Please come back home.
He want to say but restricted himself.

"You forget something at our home." He said searching in his pocket.

He knows there is no 'ours' in there past. But he said that purposefully because he wants to impose how he thinking about them being together again.

Which is not missed by Aahana. But for her there are a few 'ours' in there relation. She found them in her memories when rewinding them during late nights.

The simple gestures of leaving the sliding door of their room open, a hand on her shoulder, the small notes both left to communicate and Many other small 'ours'.

But she didn't want to go back. She don't their 'ours' anymore.

He kept the bracelet given to her by Revathi as a gift which passed down to first son's wife.

He know he couldn't express his feelings through words. He want to show his intentions in action.

That got Aahana. She looked at him with mouth open wide and heart beating fast.

It took her some time to find words that express her feeling.

"It don't think it's going to fit me anymore." She said those words with hidden messages in it.

It is not about just bracelet it is about their relation.

When he got the message He swallowed the lump formed in his throat.

"Fit or not it belongs to you. If you can't wear it just keep it." He said.

She understood that, he wants a confirmation that she will keep the tie between them as husband if she can't accept him.

"It is not mine anymore. Please take that back and leave."  She said standing. Abhay stood too.

"I know this might be too tight for you to wear before. But I'm willing to bring a modified one. Which you can always wear, which near makes you uncomfortable." He said picking the bracelet.

His voice held a promise which made Aahana sink in number of thoughts.

Abhay moved towards her. She didn't step back because she know and saw the dangerous Abhay. And the one Infront of her is not that Abhay.

Aahana pulled her hand in protest when he took it. He held it tight making her tense.He observed it and loosened the grip.

Aahana relaxed as she saw Abhay is just trying to keep the bracelet. She wanted to reason why he should take it back. But stopped as it strikes her how close he is.

She took the chance to observe him. Her eyes traveled from his face to neck taking in every inch of it.

" See it did fit. You must have tried one more time." His brought her back.

She shivered when he slowly rubbed the pad of his thumb l. He is still looking at the bracelet.

" Try one more time. Just one more." Their eyes locked.

The mist in his eyes and the plea they held made her vision blur.

"I'm sorry for being an idiot. I'm sorry."

The tears she is holding back started fell down her cheek.
