Chapter 371 Why are you avoiding me?

Dinesh was leaving the hospital by his car and stops seeing the nurse waiting in a bus stop. He steps out from the car and smirks seeing her shocked face.

She averts her eyes instantly to ignore him and looks at the bus approaching the bus stop.Seeing her whining, he can guess that bus was not the one she would take to go home.

He steps forward towards her but she pretends calling someone by taking her phone. She walks away from him hurriedly and is about bump into a metal beam.

Dinesh pulls her by her wrist by his quick reflexes. The nurse opens her eyes wide. May be she was shocked by him. The metal beam she was about to bump would be her least surprise than him.

He asks curiously "Why are you avoiding me?".

She takes back her hand from his grip and says "I don't like to talk to a stranger Sir. Please excuse me. I am getting late".

She walks past him and gets into an auto without even asking where it was going!. She lets out a deep breath and clutches her bag hard to stop her nervousness.

'It's my fault! I shouldn't have fancied about him when my family was approached by his father. His father showed me a false hope of my future with his son. Everything he said made me to dream a future with him He said that his son was very kind and doesn't mind her job. He even said he never utters a word against his father's wish. His father was very welcoming even though my family were nowhere to match their status! He even fixed a date for their engagement! '.

'I was fooled enough to ...like him just by seeing his single photo!I couldn't believe this...I still feel the same way when I saw his photo..This feeling scares me... I know he is a playboy and a drug addict! Why couldn't I just forget him?! It's been a year! I regret asking his sister to let her help him to treat after their marriage!For God Sake! How stupid I was ready to mortage my whole life to a person like him!'.

She notices the auto is going in a different direction and curses herself. She stops the auto in next stop and pays hurriedly to catch the bus which was standing in the stop.

She sits in a ladies seat and sighs leaning on the window frame. She puts on the earphones to divert herself by hearing some songs.

Dinesh stood dumbstruck as he didn't know what should he have rebuked her.

He felt an immediate urge to ask Ananya about the real reason. He calls her and she screeches "You lied to me?! Dinesh I almost slapped him!You shouldn't have used her name to chase me away from there!".

Dinesh gets to the point ignoring her "What did you say to stop my engagement before a year?".

Ananya stops speaking and asks "Engagement?What are you talking about?".

He rubs his forehead "Did you forget that I was almost going to get engaged-".

Ananya frowns "But why are you asking about that now?".

Dinesh sighs "Just tell me Sissy. Or I would cancel your trip to Darjeeling-".

Ananya screams "What?! How dare you?! I don't remember the reason because it's been a year!".

Dinesh shrugs "Then forget about the trip too-".

She yells "Wait! Let me think! But how did you remember about this suddenly? Did dad asked you again?".

He sighs "I met the girl here..in hospital. She is a nurse and was taking care of Tang Xi-".

Ananya announces "Yeah! The nurse ! I remember her now! I told her that you are a playboy and drug addict!".

Dinesh gets stoned "..." What?! Is she my sister?! How can she tarnish my image like that?!.

Ananya asks "Dinesh? Are you there? Hello?!".

Dinesh hisses "Have you gone mad?! How can you say that?! You destroyed my image in front of her family completely! ".

'No wonder she fled away seeing me!'.

Ananya asks blankly "So what Dinesh? We had to stop the engagement at any cost. I didn't thought a simple excuse would have worked. I HAD to do this for you!".

Dinesh grits his teeth and asks patiently "So what did her parents say?".

Ananya says recalling from her memory "I ..actually..I didn't talk with her parents. I just said to the girl and she said she would handle from her side. I insisted to tell them myself but she said no".

Dinesh frowns "So it was she who stopped the engagement!Why didn't you tell me any of this?!".

Ananya is in verge of screaming but she answers smiling over sweetly as she was posing for a photo "I don't want to use bad words Dinesh. You were a dash because you have ignored me completely after throwing those orders to stop the engagement!Now you have nerve to ask me these questions?!".

Dinesh felt so bad about his damaged image in the girl's eyes. He felt an urge to change that. He doesn't want her to think him like a player or whatever.

He asks "What's her name?".

Ananya asks coldly "Seriously Dinesh?! How can I remember her name?I vaguely recalled the lie that I told her! And I really don't remember her face!...Wait....How the hell do you remember her face?! Did you say that you recognized her face?".

Dinesh coughs awkwardly "I don't know. I have works to do".

He ends the call and pinches his nosebridge "Why the heck am I restless?! She was no one in my life before few hours and why the hell am I feeling so...uneasy?".

He sits back in his car and tilts his head remembering her sad face. 'She should've been happy seeing me. But why did she looked so sad? Shouldn't be happy that she escaped from me? *cough* actually from a drug addict? I have to meet her and clarify everything '.
