Chapter 52: marry me

"Pardon! For a minute I heard that you want to marry me." an awkward laugh left her lips but it died when she saw his expressionless serious face. He tilted his head as he looked at her, failing to understand why she was laughing!

"You.. are you serious?" she asked as she choked on his words. His eyes narrowed on his face as if he was trying to ask what was so funny about it! And nodded his head.

"Do you think I was joking?" she felt more embarrassed when he asked it that way and she shook her head.

"No! I am not sure how to reply to you! I still don't know why you want to marry me!?" she replied as she took a deep breath.

The man's eyes, which were darker than whirlpool, looked back at her but he did not say a word. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that she would lose her sense of thinking!
