章 83: I need a break

|Innaya|

"I need a break, Innaya. I really do."

Eshan's tired, fatigued voice caught my attention right at the moment he spoke those words. I kept the bed sheet that I had lifted to fold on the bed in the same untidy condition it was in and turned around. There he stood, near the door, with his face giving away his agitation.

It had been three hours since he locked himself in his study. I did not disturb him, hoping to give him some space, and some time. I also needed some alone time for the disturbing memory that had reemerged. I needed to settle down its aftereffect. So, I had busied myself in tidying our room, leaving Eshan alone to deal with his problems. Thinking about the decision of giving him alone time did not seem right as I looked at him.
