Chapter 34: One Week
The helpless feeling unable to control anything around her, got Talia so annoyed. Arthur was still looking so exhilarated just for that ring and was speaking non-stop.
’Why isn’t he going away? Was I not clear that I don’t want him here? I’ve said horrible things to him and yet why is he planting himself beside me? Why can’t he just leave me alone?’
"I got that ring as your wedding..."
"Does the bride buys the groom’s wedding ring? And this ring is not a wedding band, is it? But anyway, it is quite nice...." Arthur interjected her and kept on talking knowing what comes out of her mouth is not going to be pleasant. He was currently on cloud nine as he got the first present from her and he didn’t want to dampen his good mood by her mean words.
Does she actually mean what she says anyway?
He felt entirely confused by her behaviour. She gets all angry at times and hurl hurtful words at him and other times she just prepares him dessert and lets him kiss her.
And it is fairly obvious that she is still in love with him.
If so, why is she trying to push me away? Isn’t it because she thinks I’m not trustworthy since I left her alone that day? That I wanted my family to "win"? I can prove her wrong. But if she is not even willing to listen and just bursts off each time I try to talk to her, how am I going to explain?
"It is your wedding GIFT not wedding BAND! You hear me Arthur? This ring is my gift for you when you marry someone! Actually marry!" Talia stopped him from speaking further.
