Chapter 586 - Doubt..?

For another few minutes the two of them kept hugging and kissing each other, cherishing each other's warm presence. Snuggled to each other's n.a.k.e.d body, they never wanted this beautiful moment to end. They never spoke a word to each other but somehow, spoke a million promises from their eyes and loving actions. 

Suddenly after a few minutes they heard somebody's light footsteps approaching the door from outside and then they heard a girl's voice calling out for Sheryl.

"Shery? Are you still in there? I have been looking for you. Sis! We are getting late for the wedding. Everyone is almost ready to proceed. Could you please come out?" 

It was Cheryl's voice, who was sounding a bit desperate and out of breath, as if in a great hurry.

Sheryl immediately got startled hearing her sister's voice and as if reality hit her head, she immediately straightened her back looking at the door. "Umm.. O... Ohk Chery! I shall be out in five minutes. I shall see you in your room." Sheryl replied back and then turned to look at Kareem, covering her b.r.e.a.s.ts with the red satin sheet. 

Kareem let out a big sigh and did not speak a word. He was too sad that their time together was so short lived and now they will have to go out amongst everybody. 

Sheryl could not understand the boy's silence but her heart was also filled with sadness and remorse. She never wanted to leave his side but having given no other option, she got up from the bed and walked towards her dress, lying on the floor. She was surprised that Kareem had not spoken even a single word to her till now. She started wearing her dress and could feel the boy's gaze on her back. 

Kareem was still lying motionlessly on the bed his head tilted a bit, looking towards the girl, getting dressed up quaickly.

He had this sudden strange feeling as he looked at the girl wearing her dress. A feeling he usually experienced in his dark scary dreams. A feeling that something was not correct and as if something bad was about to happen any moment now. He wanted to stop the girl from leaving but something in him was scaring him to the core. As if, this could be the last time he was being with her or as if the girl was in some sort of extreme trouble. Kareem could feel a severe headache coming through and he could not even bear to look at the parting girl. The bad depressing feeling had returned to him, watching the girl go away from him. He turned away his head to look in the other direction and a tear dropped from his eye. He was tired! He was tired of not getting enough sleep. Tired of having those scary visions and dreams. The trauma he faced during the accident was enough to shake his senses and on top of that he was being forced to hurt his on family. He was already punished for saving Rhehan's life and he was scared as to what was going to happem next. He knew the time had come to face all the fears and fight for his family. Another tear dropped down from his eye and he quickly wiped it away. He had never really felt so vulnerable and helpless in his life. The mere thought of somebody harming the girl yet again was killing him from inside. He was happy that he had once managed to save her life, but he was not sure for how long he could be able to do that!

Sheryl who had zipped back her dress, turned to look at Kareem but to her surprise the boy had turned his back towards her. Sheryl's sadness increased multi- folds and all sorts of negative thoughts appeared in her head. 'What is wrong with him? Is he scared to tell his family about us? Why did he not react after hearing Chery's voice? Did he simply want to just make out with me? Maybe he is scared of openly commiting to his family! Could it be due to difference in our social statuses that he is so scared about our relation?' Sheryl let out a big sigh as she straightened up hair in the mirror. The boy was lying down lifelessly not even bothering to look at her even once. 

Sheryl fixed her makeup randonly with her hands, looking constantly at Kareem from the mirror. After another few minutes she was ready to leave and turned around to look at Kareem. "Ummm... Ahem... I will have to go now Kareem. I will see you downstairs at the ...the..wedding... Ok?" Sheryl pursed her lips in nervouseness as the boy did not move a bit at her quaestion. Sheryl could see the man's n.a.k.e.d chest move up and down a bit but he did not even give a slight node to her. 

Sheryl by now had confirmed that Kareem was tremendousely scared of commitment towards her. He did not want to tell his family that he was infact dating a girl who was not upto his class and status. "Very well then. I am out of here!" Sheryl quickly walked towards the door and opened it swiftly. She walked out of the door and slammed it backwards  to close it rapidly behind her. As she walked towards her room a tear dropped from her eye, feeling heartbroken. "Why did I even listen to him? He is such a coward! He did not even bother to look at me after making out with me. All men are like that! Cheat and frauds!!" Sheryl mummbled angrily as she pressed the doorbell to Cheryl's room. 

Cheryl quickly opened the door and looking at her sister's smudged lipstick and eye makeup she knew that Sheryl must have kissed Kareem. Cheryl was happy for her sister but she avoided talking about it. She knew Sheryl was an extremely shy person and thus she did not want to make things awkward for her. 

"Umm... Sister! Look what you have done to your makeup. Did you rubbed your lips with you hand? Here! Let me re- do the makeup for you quickly." Cheryl held the girl's hand and made her sit on a nearby seater, bringing out her makeup kit rapidly. 

Sheryl quietly sat and kept thinking about Kareem as Cheryl skillfully fixed her sister's makeup. Soon they both were ready and were already walking towards the elevator, leading to the garden.

Sheryl was blankly walking in the corridor following Cheryl as they both halted in front of the elevator. Cheryl lifted her fingers to press the button to the elevator when suddenly her hands touched a male's hand and she was instantly stunned and she immediately retraced her hands, letting the man press the button.

"Oh I am sorr...." She turned towards the man and saw James standing besides them, smiling cheerfully and already looking at them.

"No problem. After you beautiful ladies." James smiled amd opened the elevator door for the two ladies. They both smiled and climbed the elevator followed by an extremely happy looking James. Somehow the boy's presence was intimidating Cheryl, as she had never felt so comfortable and vulnerable in somebody's presence before. James was all the time smiling cheerfully and he had a hint of mischief on his face, which was making Cheryl feel embarrased even more. 

"So it was a good time we spent together last night Cheryl." James turned smiling wickedly at Cheryl. 

Sheryl who was by now lost in her own thought was stunned to hear the words and turned her eyes questioningly towards her younger sister. Cheryl turned to look nervousely and embarrased at her sister. Sheryl now had an angry look on her face, as if telling Cheryl that even now she was not ready to mend her ways, specially when she was expecting a child. 

"Ahh sister. This is not what he meant. We... we were... just sitting and talking ....and... then...then we slept.. I mean on lounge chair seperately.... not together." Cheryl pursed her lips in nervouseness getting another angry look from her elder sister. 

James chuckled heartily looking at Cheryl's nervous face. "Really?" He lifted his one eyebrow looking at the girl in amus.e.m.e.nt. 

Cheryl knew the boy was purposely playing pranks with her and she folded her arms arngrily looking at James sternly. "Stop it James. Tell my sister the truth. Right now!!"
