"Please control yourself Lara, he will be fine.", Portia said.
"I can't.... I can't afford to loose him. I love him so much.", I said.
She patted my shoulder.
"We went to his office and saw that one of the windows were broken. Is there a possibility that he might have committed a suicide?", Alex said.
"Shut up Alex, don't you know what to speak at a particular point of time?", Portia shouted at him.
He just shrugged his shoulders.
I hate him so much!
"My Luiz is a brave heart, he would never do that.", I shot glares at Alex and defended Luiz.
"Well, his heart doesn't beat for you.", Alex said.
"Alex leave now..", Portia shouted.
"I came here for Lara and not him.", he said.
Is he mad?
"I don't want you around me.", I said.
"Irony is you want a person who doesn't want to stay with you and you are shooing me away who is even willing to die for you.", he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Alex get out.", Portia screamed her lungs out. She was shaking with anger.
"I am not here to follow your orders.", he said in an arrogant way and went and sat on one of the couches.
"We shall inform the cops if he doesn't return till the morning.", Portia said.
Some unusual thoughts were running in my mind.
Oh god! Please let him be safe...
I couldn't stop crying.
After almost an hour Luiz came home.
My happiness knew no bounds when I saw him.
I ran to him.
He extended his hand when I was just a foot away from him.
"Don't you come near me.", he said.
Portia went and hugged him. He hugged her back.
"Are you drunk?", Portia asked.
He turned his face away from her.
"Did you start it again? Did you take the drugs too?", she asked.
"I didn't take drugs.", he said and tried to walk past her.
But he was not able to walk properly.
I went and held him.
"I said stay away.", he said.
"I won't.", I said and held him around his shoulders.
He pushed me away.
Portia came and helped him.
"I shall help him.", she said.
"Okay.", I said.
She brought him to the room and made him sit on the bed.
"Please bring water for him.", she said.
I was about to leave when he said, "You bring it. I don't want anything from her."
She went outside the room.
I stared at him. He looked so vulnerable.
"Why are you keeping me away?", I asked him.
"I don't want to be ruined by you.", he said.
I was shocked!
I will ruin him?
"What do you mean?", I asked.
"Or let me put it this way, I want to stay away from you. I don't want to fall in that trap of yours.", he said.
I cupped his face and asked, "What trap are you talking about?", I asked.
He looked at me with lot of emotions in his face.
"Your trap of love.", he said.
My heart skipped a bit.
He thought of my love as a trap?
"Can I?", Portia asked standing at the door.
"Sure.", I said and left his face.
He drank the water and was dozing off.
"I shall leave now. Please take care.", she said and left.
"I don't love you. I can't love you.", he was blabbering.
"Just sleep Luiz. You are drunk.", I said.
I placed his head on the pillow and got up.But he pulled me to him again such that my hands were resting on his chest.
"I can't love you.", he said again tearing my heart into million pieces.
I loosened my hand from his grip.
I took off his shoes and socks.
I slept beside him seeing his face which looked like he was tensed and worried.
Maybe he is dreaming!
Then his face relaxed and he slept peacefully.
I slept too seeing his face.
I woke up. I saw the wall clock. It was six in the morning.
I decided to cook breakfast for him.
I shall talk to him today and sort the things out.
It was eight in the morning and he came downstairs.
He was wearing a different suit.
So, he had a shower.
But his face was looking irritated.
"Where is Jane?", he asked.
"I sent her away.", I said.
"Why?", he asked.
"Because we need to talk.", I said.
"What kind of talk?", he asked.
"Let's have breakfast first. I didn't have dinner yesterday night because of your tantrums.", I said.
After having breakfast, we were sitting on couches facing each other.
"What happened to you last night?", I asked him.
"I was drunk.", he said calmly.
"What happened to your phone?", I asked him.
"I broke it out of frustration.", he said.
"Why was your office window broken?", I asked.
"Because I threw my phone on it.", he answered.
"And why did you do that?", I asked.
"It's not an interview that I have to answer all your questions so just chuck it.", he said.
"Please.", I almost begged him.
"I was frustrated. I want to stay away from you.", he said screaming out loud.
"Why do you want to stay away from me?", I asked.
"Because my heart belongs to her.", he said.
Tears were pricking from my eyes but I controlled myself.
I won't cry now.
"Why can't you change your mind?", I asked.
"Because she died because of me.", he screamed.
"Can you please share something with me?", I asked.
"What?", he asked frowning.
"What happened after you came from London?", I asked.
"Why are you digging my past again?", he asked after sighing.
"I want to know.", I said.
"If that will keep you away from me then I shall tell you.", he said.
"Go on.", I said.
