Niyathi's POV

"Niyu!" I heard Dad calling my name sweetly like every time.

"Dad!" I smiled at him with a pale face.

He knows that I have a crush on Sameer from my school days, but we never talked about it as he trusts me and I too being an obedient daughter I never crossed my limits.

But when I met Sameer again after a few years, my feeling grew fervent for him.

I admitted it to Dad and he accepted my choice happily.

But after that incident, I stopped talking about Sameer with Dad and my sister

They didn't ask me anything but surely they have suspected it as break up.

Being a supportive family, my dad and sister stood beside me in my bad time and helped me in coming out of the trance.

But this time when I told him about Sameer and Suneetha aunty, Dad seems to be a bit tensed. He looks a bit worried about me.

"Niyu, Did you meet Sameer!" He asked me holding my hand.

"Yes!" I said hiding my disappointment.

"So, What have you decided?" He asked me with a pleasant smile. I don't know how could he stay so calm all the time.

I didn't say anything, sat there staring at his face.

Actually, I don't know what to say?

I don't know whether I should accept his proposal or not?

I don't know why I still love him?

I heaved a sigh and slumped my shoulders, frowning at him.

Dad looked at me with a smile making me giggle like a child.

"I know it's a tough one but we you have to say yes or no" He sat there patting my shoulder.

"It is not a compulsion but If you really want a piece of advice I will be there for you" He smiled and about to stand up.

"Dad....!" I tugged his hand and asked him to sit beside me.

"Niyu...!" He cupped my cheek.

"I love him Dad," I said without any expression.

"Really?" He got shocked and laughed heartily after a second.

"Yes, Dad.." I said smiling with teary eyes.

He wiped my tears gently and kissed my forehead.

"But...." I sighed and trailed off looking at Dad's face.

He sat there holding my hand and gently patting it.

"I can't trust him fully" I completed the sentence with much difficulty.

"Love and trust go hand in hand. If you love him you will trust him" He said with a broad smile.

I looked at him knitting my brows.

"Love, trust, responsibility are inseparable. If he loves you with all his heart then he will be responsible for the trust you keep on him." He smiled again.

I smiled listening to his words, He does have a solution for every problem.

"You mesmerises others with your words" I complained like a child.

"Ha ha.." He laughed happily making me laugh with him.

"I want my child to be happy" He spoke in a serious tone after a brief period of time.

"I want you to take the right decision" He paused and looked into my eyes.

"I know your heart knows what does it want and no one knows it better than it."

"But sometimes it will be easily deceived, whenever it feels that it is not going in the right way gave some time to it to introspect. It will show find the right path again."

"But If you compel it to obey things against its wish it will burn you inside."

"Give it some time, let it make its own decision," He said kissing my forehead.

"Thank you, Dad!" I hugged him and sat there dangling my head on his shoulder.

"Love you Dad" I spoke slowly smiling at him.

"Love you too Niyu" He patted my cheek gently.

I don't know when I slept but had a happy sleep.

"Good morning" I woke up with a good morning message from an unknown number.

I checked it in the true caller and to my surprise, it is from Sameer.

Such a diplomatic guy he is?

He is very complicated and capricious in nature.

I didn't message him back as I feel suffocated with his mood swings.

I can see his lips speak something while his eyes say something else.

I finished my morning routine and went to the hospital keeping all my thoughts aside.

I halted my two-wheeler in the parking area and started walking towards the entrance.

My eyes met Sameer who is standing in front of my cabin with a smirk

Why did he come? What does he want?

I tried my best to walk without faltering, I can hear my own heartbeat as it is thumping so fast.

"Niyathi" He called me in a composed tone.

I walked to him and stood there. I lifted my head a bit to meet his gaze. He is looking so cold yet innocent how can he carry both the expressions at a time.

"Niyathi" He called my name again holding my hand stopping me from entering my cabin.

"Sameer, Please"I caught his hand and dragged him into my cabin.

"I need to talk to you Niyathi" He spoke averting his gaze and scanning every inch of my cabin.

"I don't want to talk to you" I mumbled digging glares at him.

"You can't say that to me, you know that very well" He sounded so arrogant and authoritative.

"Sameer...." I muttered his name under my breath. I saw him chuckling looking at me. I felt slapping him hard.

"I said we need to talk" He dragged the chair in front of my table and sat there smirking at me.

"I have patients to look after" This time I almost shouted at him.

He felt a bit offended but smirked again trying his best to tease me.

"Please Sameer," I said trying to hide my tears.

"I want to talk to Niyathi, Please" He stood up and hugged me.

I don't know what to say as I am choking so hard.

"I will be waiting for you at Coffee Cafe in the evening" He released me from his hug and stood there waiting for my answer.

"I will come," I mumbled again.

"That's great" He smiled a bit and left the place twirling his car keys.

I slumped there in my chair with a heavy heart. What he just do? He hugged me.

Why does he do it all the time? He touches me without my consent.

I don't want to think about him anymore as it disturbs my work, I know I came here for work.
