My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby! novel Chapter 55

Karthik's PoV

It's been two days since I saw her. She didn’t come to the office. I totally miss her. I decided to call her. This is a torture. She should know my past. Only that will make her go away. 

Stopping this in the start will save her from a heartbreak.

When I took my phone to call her, she came knocking at the door. She is full of surprises. She locked the door? Why?

"What do you think you are doing? Open the lock now." I yelled at her.

Being alone in a locked room with her is not good. For her. For me. I may fail to hold myself back. She smirked at me. What is she having in her mind? Whatever it is, it is not good.

"I said open the door, Akshu."

She came to my desk. She came past my desk. She leaned on the desk in front of me leaving an inch gap between us. 

"Alright, I gave you two days to make up your mind. Now tell me." she said. I really enjoy her scent.

"Tell you what?" I asked her.

"That you love me!" she shrugged her shoulders.

"Pch, Daksha, listen. You are really a small girl. I'm 27yrs old. You are just 19yrs old.This is..." she cut me off.

"I’m going to be 20 next month. We have 7years gap. Just an year more than Rishi and Danya. 7yrs is not a big deal."

"God, listen, Daksha. I don’t love you." I tried to tell her.

"That's a lie."

"Will you listen? I don’t love you. I can’t love you. I'm already married. Now stop this nonsense and go do your work." I just shouted at her.

She jerked away. She is shocked is an understatement. I knew this would happen. I literally want to hug her. Her eyes are ready to drop.

"You are lying. Aren't you?"

"No Akshu, I'm a married man."

"Then why do you love me Karthik? Why do I see that longing for me in your eyes? Why Karthik? Why? Don’t tell me you don’t love me. I know Karthik. You too have this same feelings on me that I have on you."

"Akshu please, You got it all wrong. I just spoke to you like a friend. You are Danya’s sister. That was your privilege." I told her.

"Oh really? Then why did you save my number as 'Akshu?' ? My name is Daksha. Why did you call me Akshu? What does that heart mean?"

She snatched my phone and put it on my face. What have I done? How can I let it slip my mind?

"God, I'm married. You can’t be in my life. You are young and immature. This feeling you have on me is just infatuation. It will pass."

"Shut up Karthik. I'm not a 13yr old girl to have infatuation. I know what I'm feeling. I want the truth Karthik. Why do I feel like you are lying to get rid of me? What is stopping you from confessing your feelings Karthik?"

I lost my patience. Why the hell is she making it difficult? Why can’t she just go away?

"God! Don't you understand? I'm a divorcee, Akshu! You can’t be with me. You are precious. You will be seen as my second wife in this society. I don’t want that for you, Akshu. I can't spoil your life. Your dad won’t give you to me. Don’t complicate it, Akshu. Just let go." I said which I tried hard not to.

She hugged me! She hugged me? What is she doing? I couldn’t stop myself. But this is so wrong. I pushed her away!
