Avni's POV

I was going to make a tea for myself so I asked if he would like to have and he nodded.

He was looking in the refrigerator for something to eat.

" What are you looking for?? "

" Mrs Ghomes made dinner but we didn't eat it. I am very hungry. So looking for something to eat, it must be here. "

" Wait I would take it out and heat it again. " I said and he nodded.

I saw stew and dumplings and apple pie. We all were too full yesterday so we told her to make something simple.

I served them hot with hot ginger. We both were hungry, so we had to do it.

" Avni, we have to be very careful around kids. They are very sensitive and vulnerable right now. We must always keep in mind. "

" Yeah, she must have felt bad to have a bad dream. " I said.

" They have seen their parents fighting like anything, so maybe she associated our discussion with that. " He said and I nodded.

    Robert's POV All of a sudden Tina leaned more into me and placed her lips on my neck just below my ear. What the hell?? I got up with lightning speed and moved away from her. " What are you doing?? " I asked glaring at her. " I was trying to make you feel more comfortable. I can ease all kinds of pain. Give me a chance. " She said looking at me with a seductive smile. I was disgusted with the way she was looking at me with that cheap smile and lustful eyes." What nonsense?? How dare you?? " I shouted at her. " Oh, I am sorry... I could not control my emotions. " She said changing her way of talking all of a sudden. " What do you mean?? " " Actually, I have always had a huge crush on you since we met for my interview. " She said shyly. How can someone change so much in less than a minute? " What?? Are you out of your mind? " " I am telling you the truth. I had a crush at first sight. You were exactly like the man of my dreams...

    Robert's POV " Oh thank God!!! I had left every hope that I would ever hear you say that. Who is the girl?? Did you propose to her? " I could hear her excitement over the phone. " Mom, it is not that easy, I told you, it is complicated... " " What are the complications? " " I like her and want her in my life but she doesn't want that," I told her. " Why?? You are tall, fair, handsome, rich, successful, highly educated, and above all, you are such a good human being. Which girl in her right frame of mind would not want you? " " She is a young widow, and I think she is still in love with him. " " Widow?? She is in love with her late husband?? Whom are you talking about? " She asked. What is wrong with her?? " Avni !! "" Avni?? Oh, God!! I mean she is a good girl... But she loves John. Poor girl... Got married and widowed on the same day. Are you sure about your feelings for her??

    Robert's POV I was surprised to hear that. Who could come to visit her? I asked who had come to meet her and found out that it was her husband. I was shocked beyond the limit and ran inside, where we met visitors. I saw him there with my sister. My blood started to boil and I almost ran there. How dare he come here to meet after everything he did or said to her? He was responsible for her condition. I wanted to kill him. I reached there and stood by her. She looked distressed, I placed my arm around her shoulder. Mike was a bit shocked to see me. He was shocked. " Oh, hello Robert. How are you?? " He asked with fake confidence. " Why are you here?? " I asked him while I was trying not to punch him. " I am under no obligation to answer anything to you. I am still married to her and I don't need your permission to meet my wife. " " Of course, you need my permission to meet my sister. You ruined her life. I would not allow you anywhere near her now. " I yelled at him. " I am n

I can't tell him. He asked me about my relationship with John. What do I do ?? Tell him. Are you crazy?? He would hate me. It's because of me that his brother lost his life.

" Their favorite sandwich and French toast," she told me. " Wow!!! Do you mind making some caramel popcorn and some French fries? " " No, not at all. What will you do?? Do you want me to serve your breakfast along with them? " She asked. " No, I am not hungry. I am planning to do a movie marathon. " I replied." What is that?? " she asked me. " Watching movies back to back. My sister and I used to watch movies like that. Harry Potter movies were our favorite, so we used to binge-watch them with lots of popcorn... and French fries... and chips, " I told her about one of my childhood memories." Can we also see??

I can't have feelings for... " I was saying but he didn't even let me finish. " I know you feel as if you would betray John if you have feelings for anyone else. But even he would not want you to live your life like this. You are only 23 years old. You can't spend your life like this. " He said rather sweetly. " We don't love each other. " I said.
