With Love, xxxx. by Varshitha Kancharla (trending books to read .TXT) 📖

Ryan chuckled listening to him and again continued thinking about her. 

“Ryan! It’s been many months still you are stalking her like a college guy. When are you going to propose her? Or the best... bring her here with you even if she won’t accept. When will you do it?” Neil asked. 

Ryan furrowed his brow hearing him. He put his cigarette between his fingers and said “Propose? No. I’m not going to do that. Just because of the thought, something might happen to her If I talk, I’m staying away from her. How can you think I will propose her?” 

“Then what’s all these? Why thinking about her?” Neil asked with confused face. 

Ryan dodged his question and continued his smoke. He became silent because he too didn’t know what to answer to him. He adores her. But he doesn’t want to put her in any kind of trouble. 

“Answer me.” 

“I like her and I feel happy when I see her but at the same time, I don’t want to put her in trouble. You know what happened to our families, right? I don’t want it to happen to her.” 

Neil stopped eating and said “Ryan! You are really happy in her presence and brother! I want you to feel like that everyday. You can protect her. Trust me. Nothing will happen to her.” 

"I have time. She needs time. If I decide to make her stay with me, she can’t go out ever again. But for now, I will let her live her life.” 

Neil nodded to him and continued eating his chicken. Something flashed in his head suddenly and he said looking at Ryan “I saw Nik at a mall yesterday. He looked so happy without any tensions, worries and mainly without us.” 

“What the hell! How can he roam without thinking anything? Did he forget if anyone sees him, he would be dead?” Ryan shouted angrily. 

“Come on Ryan! He left us many years back and he think he don't need any security as he is not the one like us. Anyways, you already arranged few bodyguards for him and arranged the security around his house secretly. They always follow and be with him.” 

“We know about the bodyguards and the security. Nik didn’t know about them. He is just roaming all over without thinking about anything. What does it mean? Gave up on his life?” 

“I think he want to live. He is so happy with his wife and child. I saw it in his eyes.” 

“You... talked to him?” Ryan asked. 

“No. I saw him. He didn’t see me. Why would I talk? You know I hate your brother.” Neil rolled his eyes. 

Ryan stood from there and started to go to his room. But he again started thinking about her. He might not see her for few days after tonight. He wanted to see her. He told Neil that he was going to see her. 

“How will you see her? She won’t come out. She might be sleeping now.” 

“Whatever! I have to see her.” 

Saying that, he strolled out. He then reached her house on his car. He looked around and noticed no one or nothing danger except darkness.

He stood in front of the window and tried to see her but he couldn’t see her clearly. He slowly pushed in the window making cool breeze enter the room. He saw Nina along with Kathleen, sleeping. 

“Why do they always sleep in the same bedroom?” Ryan mumbled. 

“Because it’s a single bedroom house.” A familiar voice came from behind. He turned back and saw Neil. 

“Whay are you here?” Ryan asked in a low voice. 

“To cover you, dude.” 

“Oh really! I think you came for her friend.” 

“One of the reasons.” Neil smirked. 

Ryan looked at him with furrowed brow and said “Don’t tell that you love Nina.” 

Neil started laughing loudly listening to him. Ryan put his palm on his mouth trying to stop the sounds. He could feel Neil’s muffled laugh on his palm. 

“Neil! Shut up man.” 

Neil removed Ryan’s palm on his mouth and said “Love? Me? Damn! The best joke of the year.” 

Ryan was irritated so he kept looking at him with raised eyebrow. Neil zipped his mouth feeling Ryan’s glare on him. Ryan then entered into the bedroom slowly through window while Neil was waiting outside looking at the surroundings with gun in his hand. 

Ryan stood beside her and gently smiled looking at her. She was sleeping peacefully. He tried to touch her but when she moved a little, he withdrew his hand that was about to touch her face. He was enjoying looking at her. He felt it as the peace. He smiled and got out of the room through the window. 

“Bye Kathleen.” He said locking the window. 

Neil turned to him and said “Wait! Don’t lock.” 

He looked at Nina and said “Bye Nina! Oh don’t get sad that I didn’t come to you tonight. I came for my friend who came for your friend. I’ll catch you up next time.” 

Ryan let out a sigh and locked the window. Then they both reached their mansion.
