72 Parul
“Aah, I guess I can’t help it.”
I took some biscuits along as I got up.
After taking a right turn at the end of the hall, I reached Parul’s room.
I tried to knock on the door but it was already slightly opened.
After making up my mind I entered inside.
The room was dark, through the lone window sunlight was coming in…which roughly gave an overview of the situation.
On the bed, a woman was sitting with her head resting on her knees.
The charm of the mature woman was too lethal, even in such a dejected state she gave an otherworldly aura, her exquisite face, the orchid smell, her curves, her cute half-closed eyes, everything about her was unique.
-I took a chair from the corner of the room and after placing it in front of her, sat on it.
“Hey!”
No response~~
“Hey, are you still gonna pretend that I am not here?”
No response~~
“If you are not gonna say anything, I am going to kiss you!”
No response~~
“It seems we will have to play the hard way, don’t blame me for being rude.”
I stood up and sat beside her.
As my hands were about to hold her, her eyes blinked open.
“Youuu!”
“Stay away from me.”
-she spoke in a somewhat weak tone.
“But if I’m gonna stay away, you are again going to pretend.”
“Isn’t it the best time? Your body is already weak. If I push a little I can easily have my way with you!”
“You are too weak to resist in your current state”, seeing my playful smile she finally felt a crisis.
“N-Nooo, No I promise I won’t pretend, don’t come close.”
“Fine”, I once again made some distance between us.
I knew during this time she must have been thinking about a lot of things and there must be a lot of questions in her head.
Instead of running away or deceiving her, I thought it was the perfect time to confront her.
Her eyes were looking at me, trying to guess my purpose here.
“You must have a lot of things in your mind?”
“Feel free to ask them.”
She stared at me to find out if there was any lie but seeing my serious gaze, she knew I wasn’t trying to deceive.
After mustering up courage, she lifted her head.
“Were you the one responsible for everything?”
Without breaking the eye-contact I replied back,
“Don’t you already have the answer in your heart?”
Parul gave a deep sigh and slowly lowered her head.
I already knew since she was capable of managing the guild at such an age, she was already a smart woman.
After learning about various things from Rose during the past few days and once again thinking about everything thoroughly, she will be a fool if she can’t realise that everything started when she gave me the quest to find herbs for her. Basically, everything went bad for her once she interacted with me, Jasmine was already in a secret alliance with her, Aushima and Eve were too occupied to pay attention to her, the only suspect that came to her mind was Elandor.
If I continue to pretend at this point it would only make me a hypocrite, so just admit it directly! Take the initiative into your own hands!
“Why?”
She asked in a low tone.
“If I say that when I first saw you, I got captivated by your beauty and couldn’t see you falling in someone’s hand would you believe it?”
She didn’t reply, just kept looking at me.
“By now you must know a lot of things, with the information from Rose and your own investigations you must have already realised that David only tried to get close to you to take control of your guild’s power.”
“Even…Even if he tried to deceive me, you were no better!”
“Because of you, I suffered so much.”
Sniff-Sniff~
She started crying once again.
I saw a notebook lying beside her.
I took it and tore a page from it, 2-3 poems were probably written on it.
Startled by my action, her mind got diverted and she looked at me trying to figure out what I was doing!
“Do you see this page filled with so many details?
“Our past is like this piece of paper.. filled with so much stuff, all our burdens, all our suffering, all our worries, all our anxieties, all our tensions, opinions of others, everything is deeply imprinted on it in a corner of our mind.”
“Do you know how we handle such things?”
Under her watchful eyes, I crushed the piece of paper into a ball and threw it outside the window.
“We throw all of it away so that our mind can become clearer and don’t start choking from all these things.”
“Are you just gonna continue to sit here foolishly without eating or caring about yourself or are you gonna make a stand for yourself?”
“Where is that beautiful girl who I liked at first glance, who single-handedly took care of her sister, and helped in building a strong guild?”
“Is that girl’s mind so weak and easy to break that after spending a night in prison she wants to die?”
She lifted her head once again, and even though tears still came occasionally her sobbing sound stopped.
After taking a deep breath, she too tore a page from the notebook.
Like me, she crumbled it into a paper ball and threw it outside the window.
Seeing that her mood was finally starting to get better I extended my hands to offer her some biscuits which I carried to the room earlier.
“Eat, you need energy!”
This time she was obedient, she slowly took the biscuit and put it in her mouth.
I once again looked at the room and found two fishing rods.
‘It must be the one belonging to her and Rose.’
I got off and lifted the fishing rods.
There was some dust on it signifying that they haven’t been used for a while.
Turning back I extended my hand toward her, “let’s go, you haven’t seen the sunlight, Today is a good day for fishing.”
There was some hesitation in her mind, her emotions were changing at such a drastic pace that she herself didn’t know what was going on!
“If you don’t move, I will really kiss you this time.”
“I mean it!… Rose has already permitted me to do anything that I want with you!”
Baaah~
“Don’t lie”
Her cheeks once again retained their rosy colour as she looked at me with aggrieved eyes.
“I’m going, don’t cry later that I did not take you.”
Rose had already told me once that she used to go fishing with her sister when she was small and Parul liked fishing a lot.
“Coming?”
“F-Fine, I deserve compensation from you anyway.”
“I won’t let you leave without paying off your debts to me!”
Even though she was reluctant at first, Parul took my hand and got up from the bed.

A/N guys I wrote another villain novel with some comedy in my free time, “The plot collapses -All the heroines are broken”, you can read it if you want. It may put a smile on your face if you are having a bad day or have nothing much to do.❤️❤️
