章 3: Waking at 2.22 am

Aadrita could not take up anymore. She wanted to know how the hell did Arjun figure out that she was sad.

She was not sad because of Aryan alone, She was sad because she missed her dad, She was sad because after he went away, she didn't have anyone in her life who could support her, who will love her, who will make her priority. She can't let anyone figure out that she was sad...not anyone, not her mother, she didn't want her mother to realize that she was sad and hurting inside all along, that she was not well

Her mind was making all sorts of theories like Arjun was some kind of black magician or some kind of mentalist ...

Finally making up her mind at 2.21 am she shook Arjun up and asked up her question. Waking up Arjun looked around like there was some situation and she needed help

"Did something happen?"

Then only she realized that it was fucking 2.21 am...But then again he was already awake...so she asked him how did he figure it out...

"No no, it's not like that I just wanted to ask you how did you realize that I was sad?"

Hearing that he was shocked then because of his manners he replied politely.

"I just heard you talking to someone... it seemed as if you gave more importance to them than they did to you... so it felt as if you were hurting inside."

Taking a deep breath Aadrita replied "Ha...Oh, that's why you thought I was sad. Thank god. I just got scared. Thanks for your comments. Ok, then good night."

With that, she fled to her bed right away. Aadrita was aware if she uttered one more word he will probably kill her.

'Thank god he didn't realize that I was always hurting. I don't want anyone to know. They are good at knowing the cheerful me. I will do anything to keep this facade.'

'Ah, I will probably say sorry to him tomorrow morning for waking him up '

With that, she drifted to sleep

Arjun POV

'Oh god, whoever is coming in the opposite berth, let them be decent... I don't want any drama... please.. ' As I was praying in my mind, someone opened the compartment door and came in.

" Life is a journey, not a destination." Let's explore the unexpected. "

Before I could see who it was, I heard a pleasant voice... So it's a girl...She does say such heavy sentences. And then I saw a little girl moving a house. Girls do carry such heavy luggage, even for small journeys;as if they are moving out of the house...

When I thought she was an old soul, she literally made me rethink through her conversation. She sure is a baby... with a lot of drama...

Wait, wait, how come she didn't realize my presence? Though I am quiet, I do have a strong presence... As I was thinking, she realized my presence and introduced herself. I also introduced myself and kept it short to maintain my image...

I also want to talk with others in such a cheerful tone. What to do? I still have to keep my CEO image..else I will get robbed in the business world... As I was thinking again, her phone rang and she started talking loudly...

It was as if she was very happy to get this call, but somehow, in the end, she was sad. Was that her boyfriend? From the content, I guess no... then maybe a crush...

Oh god, why am I thinking about this girl? I am about to get married the day after tomorrow.

I have not met my fiance more than twice, and I was also busy that I was not able to contact her in between. Will she be angry at me? Or will she throw a tantrum? Who knows? But she was a really polite, quiet girl.

Everyone told me that we were quite the match...Really... I don't know... but for sure I need to make it up to her.

When I was thinking, Aadrita apologized for her loud talking, then suddenly she started talking about her trip... She went on and on as though she was desperate to cover up her emotions.

I was not able to control myself and blurted out, "If you are feeling low, you don't need to talk and distract yourself." You are free to cry and express yourself. You don't have to talk as if you were forced to do so. "

Shocked, she replied, "It's not like that" and, as if some switch was pressed, she completely shut up and stopped talking. The more she behaved like this, the more I felt something was wrong... But she completely ignored me and looked out of the window.

Even at the time of dinner, she behaved as if I was invisible...She made her bed, slept with even her head covered...

Though I want to maintain my CEO image. I still want others to acknowledge me. I don't know...Anyhow, this is also good. I am getting married. I should have less contact with other girls.

Ahh... Was I really that rude? In the morning, I will apologize to her. Let's sleep for now.

I soon made my bed and fell asleep...

Someone shook me up in the middle of the night. I woke up rubbing my eyes. I realized it was Aadrita... I thought something happened, so I vigilantly looked here and there and asked her...

"Did something happen?"

She shook her head and replied, "No, it's not like that. I just wanted to ask you how you realized that I was sad."

God, it's crazy, it's fucking 2.22 am... Oh God, I am so mad. I want to kill someone...Does she have any sense of time or any knowledge that we are strangers? Or that I could do something to her? She really is one of a kind...

Who thought that the girl would be so crazy that she would wake up in the middle of the night asking this question?

Ha...I took a deep breath and claimed myself...

"I just heard you talking to someone... it seemed as if you gave more importance to them than they did to you... so it felt as if you were hurting inside."

"Ha...Oh, that's why you thought I was sad. Thank God... I just got scared... Thanks for your comments... OK, then good night. " She also took a deep breath.

Simply saying that she went to her bed and slept... literally. I really don't know what made her take this deep breath, but I was sure of one thing: my sleep was gone. I wanted to kill this heartless girl. I'm not going to talk to her after this... who knows if she'll wake me up again tomorrow...

I laid on the bed to get some rest... I don't know when I slept...
