Chapter 280 - I lose my mind with just a flip of a switch…

When Shreya woke up, it was almost noon. She woke up with a readily rumbling stomach. She lazily got up and looked around. She tumbled out of her room and went straight towards the kitchen.

But then when she came back to her senses, she noticed that the apartment was quiet… almost as if there was nobody in the house.

For a second, panic set in and she started to think maybe she had one of those dreams, and Charan and Akira are still far away on some island… out of her reach.

She set down the water bottle she had and frantically went from one room to another only to find them completely empty. Because of the hell, she had created for herself in her head, she did not even notice the lunch Charan had prepared sitting on the dining table ready to be eaten whenever she woke up.

When she couldn't find Charan and Akira, her mind instantly stopped working as she sat on the living room floor looking so anguished that her face was distraught.

That was how Charan found her when he came back to the apartment…

She was sitting right in the middle of the room with her knees bunched in front of her. She hugged them with all her might while hiding her head between them.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Why did you not eat when you woke up? Not hungry?" Charan asked leisurely as he left his slippers at the entrance.

Shreya's head jerked up as soon as she heard his voice as if someone had burnt the back of her head.

And when Charan's eyes landed on hers, the look in them broke something inside. Shreya buckled from her place the next second and flung herself on him and held on to him tightly…

Words completely failed her. And Charan did not need them… her eyes told them all. So, he just held her without asking anything.

Once he felt that her body had warmed up and she was no longer shivering… Charan hoisted her and took her towards the dinner table. He sat her down on one of the chairs and served her lunch. Shreya looked up at him but very obediently took her spoons and started eating without a word.

Seeing that Charan was not taking anything, she even extended her spoon and fed him one for every bite she took…

So, all the food prepared went away in no time.

Once done, Shreya just stayed at her place and watched Charan clear away everything.

"Leave them be… maid will be here in the afternoon." Shreya when she saw Charan starting to do the dishes.

Charan left it without protest and came back to Shreya… he just stared at her for a while before taking her hands and dragging her back to her study room. He sat down on the chair and let her snuggle into his laps.

Shreya found a comfortable position for herself and started playing with his hands.

"Shreya, sweetheart… we are fine. Everything is fine. We are not going to leave you, I promise okay? You don't have to be so scared every time you can't find us… I was just dropping Akira off at my parent's place. Her school is almost going to open and she has some home works she had to complete… so, she asked me to drop her back… That is all. I don't like seeing you so distraught every time we are not in front of your eyes…" Charan started talking. His voice was extremely soft and gentle but was also extremely serious.

He did not want to have to worry about seeing Shreya being anxious at home driving herself crazy with fear every time he steps out of the doors. He was not looking forward to seeing anything similar to how she had greeted him today.

He knew this is going to take time… but for now, he wanted to make somethings clear to her when she was thinking straight.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#%E2%80%A6_51777574057080677">#%E2%80%A6_51777574057080677</a> for visiting.

But the problem was Shreya did not know how to do that…

Her mind and heart are in constant battle… she was on edge all day long. Almost half the time is lost with just trying to convince herself that everything was going to be fine…

But despite all her effort, her anxiety did not reduce even one single bit… not even when she tried to get some sleep.

Charan saw her sleep both the nights she had spent with him and from what he saw, she was frowning and anxious even when she was sleeping. He knew if this goes on, it was not going to be healthy for Shreya… she was consuming too much emotion and brainpower…

He also knew with everything going on, Shreya cannot afford to be distracted… she cannot afford to put anything but 100% on her work…

Abishek's trial was a few days away. With his testimony, including Naren and Abimanyu about 100 other people will be arrested overnight and convicted.

"I don't know how to control them Charan… I lose my mind with just a flip of a switch… And once I am out, nothing seemed to help to keep my head together no matter how much I try to rationalize it!! Until I see you guys that is…" Shreya whispered, at last, breaking the silence in the room. She did not really dare to meet his eyes. She looked as if she was guilty of something… like she stole a cookie.

Charan shifted her and sat her down stranding him and lifted her head to look up at him.

"Babe… talk things out… your main problem is you are trying hard to control everything around you. You are trying to suppress everything in your head. Even though your head is big… it is not healthy to put too much stuff in there. I am here… just let it all out. You will feel better, I promise!!" Charan said… his voice was silky soft as he caressed her cheeks lovingly. He was earnest and sincere as he looked at her and waited for her to reply.

Shreya just bit on her lips averting her eyes. She was someone who never hesitated to share things… at least with Charan, she never did.

Shreya was someone who always dared to look straight up at his eyes… always. She was someone who confessed to him with a straight face and unwavering eyes just hours after meeting him. She had always expressed herself boldly… She would never avert her eyes. So, seeing her like this was new for him.
