Chapter 36
I think I forgot to breathe... I felt like floating above the Earth... Is this a dream? Ves... it should be... This is something that can never happen in real life. It is just in fairy tales, handsome princes start loving poor girls. I stood up involuntarily, holding both of the phones in my hands. I felt someone hugged me from behind, putting his arms around my waist and burying his face on my shoulder. I don't require to tur around and see who that is... The charming fragrance of my favorite cologne explained everything perfectly. “50, what do you think, Princess?” he whispered to my ear. What do I think... Well... I don't think anything... My mind is completely blank... How am I even supposed to think anything in an impossible situation like this? He gently turned me to him. He was wearing a white body fit T-shirt to blue denim. He looked so fresh and handsome as ever... I looked down because I had no courage to look at that face... “It... it... is... you!” I finally managed to tell, looking at my own feet. “Yes... My Princess... It is me...” he said, smiling. Then he gently raised my face using his index finger and made me look at him. He was just staring at me as he saw me for the first time in his life. His eyes were filled with LOVE This is the first time I saw something like this in these heavenly eyes. How much I craved for this moment? How much I wanted him to reveal himself? On the other hand, how much I desired for Jake to offer me at least some kind of attention. Stay in between his arms... Th was my dream... Now both of these has come true. The impossible has just happened. I couldn't understand all the feelings that were having a battle inside my mind. My stupid tears... As usual, they wanted to come out and show, how vulnerable and desperate am I. As he saw the warm tears running down my cheeks, he got panicked. “Why, princess? What is wrong?” he asked, trying to wipe out my tears. His voice made me cry even harder... “Are you disappointed to know that it is me?” he asked concerned, looking to my tear-filed eyes. Disappointed... No... I feel thousands of emotions right now, but disappointment is not one of them. “sarah, please tell me. Are you disappointed to know it is me?” he asked, shaking me, holding from my shoulders. He called me Sarah... That means he is pissed off or he is damn serious... Precisely like when he messages with me... “I. 1... was so obsessed with you. Since high school. I came to watch every single match you play, just to watch you from distant. I participated in every competition, every function that I thought you would participate... Even though I could not even talk to you in person, I used to talk to your photos every night. I told the photo you about my happiness and my sadness. You were my source of happiness... You kept me fighting with my life, without accepting the defeat... Without you even knowing, you became my everything..” I was speaking... I don't even know how I got the courage to speak my heart in front of him. “Your cute Scrapbook explains that precisely, princess,” he said, with a big smile on his face. That serious, pissed off look suddenly vanished, and his whole face lit up. “scrapbook... How... You know about that..” I asked quickly. “Who you thought, got it from Brittany?” he asked, tracing his finger over my cheek. “What? You got it... Have... have you read it?” God, that should be the dumbest question I have ever asked. “A'thousand times.” he replied. Seriously! So I don't need to explain how much I was obsessed for you. God! What an embarrassment... Why my life always makes me humiliated. “That was in the past... I know how you felt about me in the past..” he said, as that serious look spread over his face. “I want to know about the present. What do you feel right now? Are you happy or not?" I looked at his eyes which were focussing on my face... Am I happy or not? “lam not happy..” I said softly. “What?” his face got darker, and his eyes widened. “I am not happy... I have no words to explain to you what am I feeling right now... So just let me show you..." I said. Then I hugged him so tightly putting both of my hands around his waist and placing my face so close to his heart which beats just for me... “My princess... he said, kissing my head and tightening his arms around me. “How long I waited to hold you like this babe... How much I suffered because I couldn't express you my feelings... his voic sound broke. I couldn't pay much attention to the things he was saying. My whole body and soul was captivated by his warmth. There c be no place in this whole universe which can be more comforting than in his arms. But I was confused, with everything that has happened... I wanted to ask him millions of questions. I tried to pull myself away from him. “Please... Stay like this for some more time.” he whispered, tightening his arms around me. I just obeyed him. Not just him, I also wanted to stay like this forever and beyond... But doesn't he owe me an explanatio on everything? “I. 1... just can't believe this. I am afraid that this is just a dream, and I would wake up in my cold room alone” I whisper to his chest. “No, Princess... This is not a dream... This is a dream came true. This is our dream came true.” he said, kissing my head again. “Do you know how long I have been obsessed with you?” he asked in a whispering tone. What? He has been obsessed with melll How that even possible? Mighty prince charming been obsessed with a girl noboc wanted... “When I see you first time at a high school competition, I was awed by how smart you are. Though we won that day, I still remember how you gave a very good fight all alone even after your teammates accepted the defeat. That day I fall for you brain.” I was totally shocked and not able to say anything in reply. “I know its highly unusual for a guy to fall in love with a girl's brain..” he said, smiling. Well... I was just shocked to know that he has known me since those days. It was highly unusual for him to fall in love witt any part of me actually. “I hate girls who act so dumb and always ready to throw themselves at guys. You were smart, independent, and you knew how to maintain your honor as a girl” “Day by day, I started to grow feelings for you. It is not just you who participated for every competition and functions thinking I would come, I did the same thinking you would participate them.” he kept on saying, having me still in his arm I couldn't even believe my own ears... He didn’t even smile with me those days... He was like... He doesn't even know that do exist in this world. So how these are possible? If he liked me since then, why didn't he show me any sign? “I wanted to hold you like this and tell you how I feel.” “Why you didn't do that? You act like you don't even know who am 1" I gathered up the courage to tell. He broke our hug and looked at my eyes... “I did it because I want to assure your safety,” he said. “I don't really understand, Jake. Luke also said you don't want to reveal yourself because you want to protect me. I don't understand from whom or from what you are trying to protect me...” I asked the question that I wanted to ask since Luke birthday party. Without answering me, he grabbed my hand and walked towards the sofa. Then he sat on the sofa and made me sit next him. “During high school, I thought I should never let you come into my life. But when I saw you on the same campus, and whe I got to know that we are both in the same batch, I could not resist me from falling for you more and more. Especially whe I saw how cruel others treat you, that made me want to kill all of them. I started to search more about you. Luke helped n a lot in everything. We found out about everything related to you. I asked Luke to be with Shane, so we know what he is u to. However, day by day I suffered, seeing you getting bullied and not being able to help you. I want to get close to you by any means. That's why I started texts with you." “I... I... 1 don't get it. Then why you didn’t tell me your feelings. You could have just told me without start texting with me. “Do you believe me?” he asked, holding both of my hands close to his heart. My eyes filled with tears... I believed him even before I know his real identity. Now I know who he really is. So why don't I believe him? “I believe you..” I said between my tears. “Then please, believe me, Sarah, I did everything to protect you. But I am not in a position to tell you why I need to prote« you. I am so sorry that I have to keep secrets. But believe me, I will be able to let you know everything really soon.” “If you can't tell me that, then why you let me know it is you who texts with me. Don't tell me you left your phone here by mistake.” “When I got to know you think it is Luke and you... you kissed him that day... I cried, Sarah... I fu**ing cried because I was helpless... It made me think about what will happen if you get mistaken for another guy. With Luke, I knew you are safe. That's why 1 asked him not to tell you. But with what happened that night he had to tell you. I couldn't spend a second after that without being worried about you. So, when I found you yesterday in that position, I felt like I had almost lost everything. I decided I must tell you. ” his voice was filled with pain and sadness. “It is torture, Sarah... It is a fu**ing t*****e to see you every day and not being able to tell you." is he crying? His eyes look all watery. “Jake... “I touched his cheek gently. “You can tell me the reason, on any day you think is suitable. I can live without knowing anything if I have you by my side said hugging him again. “I am always with you my princess... I will never leave you..." he said kissing my head. “sarah, please don't hate me for what I am going to tell now. Please don't get angry...” he said breaking the hug and loki at my face... I was so damn afraid... What is he going to tell me now?
