章 250: Arjun's Distanced Behavior

|Innaya|

"You fool!"

Instead of the hard fall, I expected, a pair of arms held onto me- breaking my fall. A wave of relief washed over me. 

"Don't you know how to stay in one place? Are you mad?" Solemn silence of the night was broken by the scolding of the man. I could not feel any happier even after being at the receiving end of the scolding.

My eyelashes fluttered as I hesitantly opened my eyes. Though I heard him and felt his presence, I did not want my hopes to shatter, and if this turned out to be a fantasy of my mind. I could not afford it.

Under the bright glow coming from the lights, the man's face was half shadowed, only allowing his left profile to be seen. As the night had fallen, there was silence everywhere, and I could hear the sound of my hammering heartbeat in my ears that was beating erratically in my chest.
