Michael came inside the room and was shocked to see Jenny's face on her hands. It broke him so much that he ran to her. He kneeled beside her and took her face on his hands. His voice was dripping with concern, "What happened, cutie?"

Jenny couldn't even recognise the new word he used as her mind was filled with confusion, "Are you Michael?"

That question startled him so much that Jenny could feel him shaking. Still he got the strength to nod which was destroyed by her next words, "No! you are not! Michael gives me clarity even when I am surrounded by mountains of confusion but you are giving me sky confusion when I am standing on a grassland which is clear as a crystal."

Michael felt like banging his head on red hot iron rod after hearing her word. He couldn't hold her face more so he stood up and moved back. He had his face on his hands and ran a hand through his hair. He could hear Jenny's sorry miles away from him.

Don't go away from me like your voice, Jenny.

He turned to see Jenny's tear socked cheeks and ran to her again. He sat behind her and wrapped her in his arms. Jenny cried to his shirt while saying something like sorry but he did not understand why she was saying sorry and his ear couldn't hear half the words she was saying.

She was scolding herself for saying those words as she knew that it hurt him a lot but Michael was not hurt by her words but by his own mistake.

He was cursing himself for not saying the entire truth. The thought she might say this was always on the back of his mind but he never though he will hear it.

How foolish of myself.

After crying for some time she stood up and washed her face, on normal days he would have helped her but today he couldn't do anything.

He tried to go out after she came but she stopped him. She saw his hair going everywhere so she combed his hair and rubbed his fave with a wet kerchief. They went outside and tried having a normal conversation with others.

Every one knew that Jenny was sad and that's why they asked Michael to talk to her but they were shocked to see Michael sad too now.

Jenny on the other hand was cursing at herself for melting on his hands. She talked to them till they went to Manoj's home. They ate dinner silently.

Jenny's parents were worried to see Michael silent too. They went inside their room. Jenny was standing by the bed. Michael caught her hand in his hands and stroked her wrist with his thumb. Jenny was struggling not to feel relaxed after his gesture. she wanted to be angry.

Michael wrapped his arm around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. He was ready to tell her everything. He wanted to tell how she sweeped him off his feet.

How he felt when he saw her under the dim street light glowing with happiness.

How he admired everything in her.

But before he could say everything he heard a faint whisper of Jenny, "Please don't Michael." He couldn't understand why she was saying this.

He kept her at a distance which was hard as her hold on his arm was tight and saw her teary eyes which broke him. He was holding her by her arms. She whispered slowly, "Don't hug me Michael." He couldn't believe what he heard even.

His fingers started to tremble and his eyes were wide out of fear. She sensed the difference in him so this time her voice was more lighter but now Michael was concentrating with all his might so he heard her clearly, "Don't hug me please Michael."

He left her and stood far away from her. He heard her lips say "This hug has been convincing me for days now." I thought it was comforting you "I can't think straight Michael. My mind registers only your warmth. I want to think without any disturbance." Is my hug a disturbance?

Jenny had started to say please when Michael intervened, "Please don't say 'Please' I beg you. Don't make it sound like I hugged you with force. Please I beg you."

Jenny broke on hearing this from him.  She scolded herself for using stupid words. She wanted to say something which would make him hug even tighter but she realised that she flopped big time.

Before she could talk, Michael went to bed clutching his head and fell on the bed. He was staring at the ceiling like it had some drawing. She died a thousand deads seeing him like this.

Michael was stunned by the extend of his mistake. I thought I can make her love me. I was wrong.

I am sorry Jenny. I didn't make her love me. I just made her enjoy my physical comfort. I didn't give her any psychological comfort.

What the hell did I do?

Manoj's fears were correct. I  am a curse to her. I shouldn't have married her now. I took most of the things from her.

His mind was like this for an hour or so after which he slept.

But Jenny couldn't sleep at all. Every time she closed her eyes, she remembered the image of Michael clutching his heads. She stood up with a startling emotion. She walked back to the bed and sat beside the bed. She stroked his hair. She leaned up and kissed his forehead.

Her voice was faint, "I didn't try to say what I said. I was tensed so I said stupid words. I didn't mean it and you know it right?  I will never think that you shouldn't hug me. If I didn't want you to hug me then I would have protested right? Why would I hold you tight?"

She stroked his cheeks, "I didn't mean it idiot. If someone is seeing this except God, they would think I am a bad girl for torturing you."

Her hands went to his hair and stroked it, "But God and you know what my heart thinks. Even though I don't know. I don't know if I can hug you or not. If you think you can hug me then hug me. I believe you idiot."

She chuckle while saying, "Recently I have been talking to you only when you are asleep,  sleepy head." She kissed his cheeks and went to sleep.

But Jenny didn't knew that every time he was awake to hear her talk. But he was not awake now. He didn't hear the sweet things she said. He knew the misused word only.

Owl which was in the near by tree was seeing them with intense eyes like it was scolding the fate for what it did now to these young lovers.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

This chapter is dedicated to Sharanya1986

Poor lovers!

I swear that I am not responsible for this.

*gives a complain to police commissioner* There is a threat to my life from a certain set of people who claim that I spoiled a good romance.

*turns back to commissioner* And no one gives me ice cream so take steps for that too.

What do you think about the Chapter?

Poor Jenny struggling with words. This happens to me too.

My characters are always a part of me. When I get tensed or over excited or over emotional, I don't know what I talk. I think one thing but I don't know why I say a different thing.

Krazy_Kiran you said she is not trying to understand Michael even but the thing is, she just expects a lot from him.

I have seen this on me. People expect things from me like I am from heaven so I will always be perfect.

A single slip even leads to bad incidents. My small failure are treated as big things.

I am a friendly guy to Professors so they scold me for simple things sometimes I have to face the he anger of professors on others.

Yesterday my professor called me and scolded me for ten minutes as I was not in class (I went for project work). He also insulted my project.  (His team lost to me on that competition)

What hurt was, he did not even scold the guys who bunked classes. bunking classes is better than going for projects.

I am getting really irritated with things. It really hurts to see people ignoring me when they were close to me.

I feel like I have failed their expectations. I have been doing that now more recently both on wattpad and real life.

Just am hour ago I just threw my phone out of frustration out of nearly everyone. 

I am just a guy. I don't know what's happening to me. Just now shouted at my mom for smallest things. 

I don't know whom I am going to shout on wattpad.

I wish I could run away from this stupid world.

Thanks to TINY girl, CHOTI DELHI girl and AKKA obsessed sister.

Thanks to my mom who has always lends her lap so that I can cuddle on it even after I have grown double her height.

When I am tensed or stunned, I say and do stupid things which most of you might have witnessed too.

Sorry AkankshaSharma3 for long author's note but this only helped me not to throw my phone again.

I have changed my bio and this book's bio. Check and say how it is.

Take care be safe and stay blessed.
