Bab 118: Arjun's Surprise

|Innaya|

"Are you okay?" Eshan asked me once he held me, preventing me from falling.

I nodded my head. Arjun looked at me with his concerned eyes.

"Did I scare you?' he asked as his blue eyes guiltily peered at me.

My heart broke watching him face turning sad. It was not his fault, to begin with. My fears for surprise took birth two months ago, and it was because of Eshan. Arjun had no relation to the matter. 

I shook my head, "No... It's... it's... nothing," I replied, not knowing how to tell him about my fears. They were baseless. Just because I stumbled once does not mean that I should quit walking. It was the same thing. Even if a couple of surprises had turned disastrous, it did not mean that every surprise would turn bad.

"She's afraid of surprises because of me," Eshan answered Arjun on my behalf. He figured out the reason on his own, and his voice had lowered as if he felt guilty.
