My One And Only - Chapter 58 I Wont Force Him

As the question popped up in her mind, she turned around to look at Arnav who was standing a few paces behind her. Arnav, sensing her questioning eyes half smiled at her but did not reply. He then walked over to the other side of the bed where the girl lay and looked at her adoringly, patting her head a few times before tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to stain his handsome face.

” Hmph. ” Murat cleared his throat lightly as he knew that Arnav wanted to spend some alone time with the girl. He gestured both Dr Lashkar and Sofya towards the door. Sofya complied unwillingly, her mind full of questions and doubts.

” I will have the full report ready soon. ” Dr Lashkar replied before leaving. They went outside the ER and closed the door slowly, leaving Arnav alone with the girl.

” I am so sorry! ” he whispered softly to the unconscious girl. These were the last words that Sofya heard him speaking, his voice full of grief and torture before the door shut.

The moment they were outside the room, the doctor went to attend a call. There was an awkward silence as Murat and Sofya stood in the corridor alone, neither of them saying a word. The silence was so deep it seemed like they didn’t know each other at all.

Sofya’s head was bowed down, her face half covered with her brown hair falling down. It was unclear as to what she was thinking. The truth was she didn’t know how to react, having not endured any such situation before. It was true that she wanted to hear about the girl from Arnav, but at the same time she could not pressurise him to tell, and certainly not at this very moment. Sofya just wished she could help him in anyway. Seeing him in this much pain was unbearable for her.

Murat glanced at her and knew what was going through her mind. Conflict!

He had known her long enough to know that she would not be unreasonable in anyway, but she would also not speak out her discomfort to anyone. She would rather endure it on her own than let someone else suffer for her actions. And that was the case right now. He had seen her questioning eyes in the ER room, but he guessed he always knew that she would never force Arnav to do anything that he did not like. Hell, she didn’t even know that Murat and Arnav had known each other for the past four years as members of the Silent.

But it pained Murat to see her like this today. She was his best friend, the first friend and girl that he had ever talked to in the school. She deserved to know everything even though it was not his place to do so.

” Her name’s Cynthia. ” he spoke in a low voice. Sofya looked up at him and he saw that her eyelashes were wet. ” She’s his sister, more like — ”

” Shh! ” Sofya silenced him by placing her hand on his mouth. Murat was surprised, not to mention shocked by her actions. He was just telling her to put her mind at ease and she refused to listen.

Sofya half smiled, as though she had read Murat’s thought. ” Don’t worry about me. When he’s ready, he will tell me himself. I won’t force him. ”

Murat suddenly felt suffocated and hugged her. Why was she so good? It sometimes felt that with the few lies that he had told her in his entire life, he did not deserve a friend like her. She was just.. so pure hearted.

Suddenly, Sofya’s stomach growled loud enough for Murat to hear it. They broke from the hug as he smiled at her and asked, ” You did not have dinner?”

” Nope. ”

” And why’s that? ”

” Because I was… ” Sofya’s voice trailed off as she remembered what she and Arnav were really doing a few hours ago. Her cheeks became a little red and she seemed flustered but a sweet smile crept up her lips remembering the passionate moments they had shared. And then it clicked to him!

” Oh god! Don’t. ” Murat teased her, waving his hands in the air as if trying to shoo away the dirty thoughts from his mind.

” You asshole. What are you thinking? ”

” What you are ashamed to say! ”

” You.. I will kill you. ” Sofya softly laughed as she began beating him up by standing on her toes. Murat tried to dodge her but she had a vice like grip on his arm, making sure that he was unable to run anywhere.

As the light hearted banter continued between the two best friends, unknown to them a dark shadow stood at the end of the corridor, watching them. After a few more seconds, he opened his mobile phone and typed a message to an unknown number, ‘ Boss the girl’s brother is here as well as his woman ‘.
