All Chapters of Collateral Love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Noah's POVI returned my home and had my bath. It was so cold outside. The clock struck 5 as I got out and changed my clothes. I know she wouldn't reply, or maybe she does, but I messaged her."Get ready and come to the college at 7"She saw the message then & there. I was shocked. Was she already up?"Ok" she said. I sighed in relief. I still didn't know when her mother would come, but I was sure that I would have to keep her with me for as much time as I could.It was 7. I passed my time by reading about her treatment and also I searched a few websites about what girls usually like and what they usually hate."Hey Astrid" I said as she came down the bus. "Let's go" I said and took her to my hotel. No, I wasn't planning to send her to college at the first place!"Why are we here" to my surprised, she asked the question, which she should've asked way earlier."Because you.. you're

Noah's POVShe was fast in completing her work. Its been just an hour and she is already reaching the end.I was lost in thoughts for sometime, though.I've planned sometime.. For her. I'll bring it into effect on the next week itself."Done" she said, and I looked towards her work.Such a beautiful writing. I'm really shocked that she can write sooo beautifully."Hmm.. Want to go out?" I asked her, although I didn't know if I could really take her out."Hm" she said, and stood up. I guess she really wanted to go out.Now I had to think of a reason to leave the house with her!!!!I went downstairs, and found aunt in the hall. She was still arranging some things there."Aunt.. Actually.. I.. Actually.. Actually I and Astrid have to do some project, and for that we need some ideas, so can we both go to the park?" I finally made up an excuse.She looked at the watch s

Noah's POVShe turned back to her original self. I went near her, but she didn't react. I won't leave her.. She told me not to leave, so that's it.I took her to my hotel, because it was just some time, and I told her mom that we'll be out for three hours.I took her to the restaurant at the bottom of the hotel, and she ordered the food on her own. I think her condition is getting better, but what hurts the most is that she didn't recover.After having a good lunch, I took her into the room. It was all normal, with her reading the same, favourite novel and me just looking at her, mesmerised by her beauty.She took her phone, and her earbuds and started listening to songs. I didn't want to disturb her and the time flew by.Just then I took her back to her mom and bid goodbye. I now have to meet the doctor.I met her and she told me that her condition is getting better if she comes back once

Astrid's POVI went back home and hugged my mom tight, who was sitting on the sofa in our hall. She was shocked."Is everything ok, Astrid?" she asked."Yes mom.. I.. uh.. I just wanted to hug you""Oh sweet Astrid. Its fine." she said and I broke the hug and went up to my room. I was so happy about everything.Everything seemed to become perfect once again. My loving mom, my.. uh.. My.. What should I call him?? My.. My love.. My.. Do I really love him?? I can't sort out my emotions just yet. But it's really different.. Different from anything that I've ever felt till now.. Even when I thought I liked that.. that devil.. This is just so different from it. His embrace was so safe and pure. His eyes were deep enough that you can drown in them and still smile. Oh, his smile is to die for. Not even knowing how much he loved me all along, I blamed him for everything from the start. That was stupid, foolish, and every

Noah’s POVOne week passed by. I used to video-call her, message her, she used to video-call me, message me, and so we were connected almost everytime. I still didn’t tell her about the help I took from Chorlette, it’s a little embarrassing anyway.Tomorrow, is the first day of the college-reopening. I have to convince Astrid today, and make sure she comes tomorrow. I went to her house.“Hello Aunt, actually, Can I take Astrid with me? We are just going in the nearby park” I said as she opened the door.“Actually Noah, she isn’t opening the door from morning, I’m trying, but she just says that she wants to be alone. I’m happy you came. Please help us” she said and I went inside and knocked on her door.“Mom, I said that I want to be alone!!” she yelled.“Astrid, it’s me, Noah, open the door” I said calmly and the
