Five Weeks by Shruti Omar (good books to read for teens .TXT) 📕

Anahita stumbled on her footing and glanced at him with tearful eyes, “Yu… Yuvraaj! Please calm down. I am really sorry for whatever I did but don’t be stupid like me. Please listen to me just once!”

He refused to regard her and strode inside the bedroom, slamming the door hard behind him. She jumped up at the threatening sound and clutched her aching head. What a mess!! She was trying but it wouldn’t be fruitful unless he decided to cope in – which wasn’t happening – and the amount of guilt was augmenting in her.

She puffed out an unwavering breath and ambled to the bedroom, surprisingly she didn’t need to twist the knob as the door was unlocked. She swung it open and found him sitting on the bed. She quietly knelt before him and snagged his hands, looking up with beseeching eyes, “I know I am wrong. I made a horrible mistake but still you should give me the chance to explain.”

“Okay.” He acceded, surprising her and kept his incensed stare on her, “Explain why did you insult me. Explain why I am an infidel when I have no other woman in my life except you. Explain what made you think that I am having affairs. Not affair, mind you, it was ‘affairs’.” He reminded her, air-quoting the words and she peeped at her empty hands in his lap, ashamed.

“I am sorry.”

“Hah! Sorry,” he scoffed, running his hands through his hair and leaned forward, keeping elbows on his knees. “How about you take your sorry ass out of here and hide yourself in one of the hotel rooms? I promise to pay for them. Leave the fuck out.”

He calmly insulted her and tears trailed down her eyes, realizing that she had wounded him so much that he had to go out of his league and swear when that was the thing he most specifically disliked. She had inflicted such torture on him that he had to forget his impeccable manners and stoop to her level.

“Hurry up and pack your things.” He reminded her and she gulped. She pushed the tears away with the back of her palm and shook her head, “I won’t go anywhere. This is my room too.”

She dreaded his words after the silence of a minute and caught his glance. His eyes were bloodshot and every muscle was tightened in his jaw. He jerked her hands away from his lap and scrambled away. “Fine, I am leaving.”
