Chapter 42

"Of course, it's my pleasure." He pulled the bowl towards me and to say the taste was awesome, it brought the memories of my home. "So, what's your Plan Karl? How are you going to fix the problem?" I asked once we finished our meals. He leaned on the chair and played at his finger-ring. "After finishing this semester I have planned to go to London. Then I will join the same college where she is studying and try my best to seek her forgiveness and will win her heart and make her mine." He said sincerely deep inside his thoughts as he was picturing whatever he said. "That much confidence?" I teased him. "Yeah! It came after you accept my apology." He gave me a toothless grin. As we were continuing our talking, my phone vibrated in my purse frequently but I ignored it and carried on the talk with him even though my mind asked me to attend the call. "Sheila, you can answer the phone, the poor guy is calling for you a while." I narrowed my eyes at him. "How do you know who is calling?" "A blind person can tell what is happening between you two. See, don't ignore your feelings towards him whatever happens in the future. As you say everyone deserves a chance. So give him a chance when he needed it. You two are perfect. He is born for you." He stated. I almost stared at him for a second like he was an Alien who escaped from another planet and came here to kidnap me. "It's not like that Karl, we are... are .. just... we.." I let out a defeated sigh. "Just admit it, Sheila. You can't fool yourself. I can see it in your eyes as how much you cared for him. He will do anything for you. If he wants he will go to the edge of the world to have you in his arms." He said while rubbing his jaw where he had a bruise. "You know what, when you fell on the road he was the one who admitted you in the hospital." "What do you mean?" I furrowed my brows. "Yeah, that day you stubbornly went out of my house even when you hurt your foot. I was worried about you, So I followed you and when you were about to fell down I saw him running towards your side. He was the one who pushed you aside and saved you from the accident." "You mean he admitted me to the hospital on that day and paid my bill?" I asked in disbelief. He nodded his head to confirm what I was thinking is right. Oh, God!! Then why didn't Harry mention anything before? "Karl, why all of a sudden you changed? I mean you are hating him, aren't you?" I can't help but ask and as a response, he simply shook his head. "Who told you? I used to hate him but not anymore. He was the one who taught me a lesson." Which lesson? "When he was fighting for you, I learned one thing that if you fight for a thing that you need then you will have it in the end even the world would turn against you. It may be a thing or-- a girl." He muttered under his breath. I squeezed his hand as a comforting zone sensing what he meant. "If you truly love her, fate will pair you together. But please don't force her, if she doesn't want you then just leave her. If we really love someone wholeheartedly then their happiness comes to our first priority than anything." I said as I was an expert in this subject. He nodded his head but said nothing. His eyes fell on my hand and his face dropped down. "I'm sorry Sheila, I caused you pain again." He mumbled. "Karl, it has nothing to do with you and you have not done anything. So stop acting like a big guy. Shall we go? It's getting late." I asked. "Sure." with that we went out of the restaurant and hopped into his car. I wanted to tell him that I'm not living in my hostel when the car came to near the street, but to my surprise, he didn't stop the car and continued his driving. "He may know where I'm living." My inner mind assured. He stopped the car once we reached the house. I thanked him and when I was about to go, he called out my name and took something from the back seat. "Take it. It's for you." He handed me an Orange colour file. "What is this, Karl?" I asked him confusingly. "Open it. You will know." I opened the file and took the bunch of paper what seemed like a document. My eyes widen in surprise when I realized what it was. I wanted to cry at that moment. "Karl, How it's poss..." My voice shuttered. "Yeah, it's yours. I didn't burn them. They were the duplicate copy of yours." He said smiling all the way looking at my teary eyes. He is not bad at all. "Thank you, Karl." I hugged him and he returned the hug back. "Good night Sheila and one more thing I would do the same if I were his place. So don't make things worst." I nodded my head even though I have no idea what he was talking about. "Good night, Karl." I hopped out of the car and stood there until his car faded out of my sight. Heaving a heavy sigh, I entered the house not in the mood to face him. "Sheila," Harry called out once I entered the living room and I facepalmed. He was standing in the middle of the living room wearing his pyjamas, together with the worried expression on his face. His eyes soften when his sight fell on my hand. "I'm sorry, Sheila ---" He began but I cut him off in his mid-sentence.
