Cold Hearts

Chapter 22

*Pia Pov*

"Girlfriend! I can't find my tie." He shouted from the living room while I am packing his lunch.

"Well if you search it in your clothes and not in the living room then I am sure you can find it." I shouted back.

"I am very busy Girlfriend." He shouted back.

"And do I look like I am sitting here without any work?" I asked him walking towards him holding the carriage.

He was just pacing around holding Angel in his hands. This few days really changed him completely. He is happy if I put it in the right words. As for Angel she is more than happy.

He is taking care of her midnight cries too because of which I am able to sleep more properly. I still remember our friends shocked faces when they looked at him while he was smiling slightly holding Angel.

"You will get late for the flight Boyfriend." I said walking near him.

"I don't want to go!" he said sighing.

"Well you must and it's just a week. I am sure you will be fine. I packed some food for all of you so that you guys will not get hungry after landing there." I said placing the carriage on the table.

At the same time I heard the door bell ring and looked at him to see that he is completely engrossed in talking with Angel. I shook my head and opened the door to see Sush and Arthi standing there smiling.

"Dinesh and Rajeev will wait for us at the airport." Arthi said going inside.

Sush stood beside me and we both saw Arthi is trying to take Angel from him but he is not budging at all.

"He is finally happy Pia. And that happened only because of you." Sush said smiling.

"I don't have anything to do with this Sush. I know that he will be happy once he and Angel come close. I am nowhere in the reason behind his happiness." I said shaking my head.

"Oh trust me you are. It is very funny to hear you both calling each other with 'Boyfriend' and 'Girlfriend'." Sush said laughing.

"I am just cutting him some slack Sush." I said looking at him.

"What do you mean? You wanted him to be happy right?" he asked confused.

"Yeah! I wanted him to be happy by which he will make Angel happy. She will get the father's love and that is the most important thing." I replied in serious tone.

"Are you saying that you still don't like him?" He asked frowning.

"That plan didn't enter my mind at all. All those years back he taught me a lesson to not fall for someone so easily and not to put my heart on my sleeves. And later when I tried to overcome those walls that Ajay made me add some more to them. Now I can't drop them for anyone Sush." I replied in complete serious tone.

"I wish you change that thought Pia. Because trust me you will be more than happy if you do that." He said in serious tone.

"Protecting myself from pain is more important than some happiness for me Sush." I said and immediately plastered a smile dragging us both inside.

"I still don't think it is better for us to leave you alone here." He said looking at me.

"I will be fine boyfriend. Kalyan and Nikki are here to protect me." I said and he finally nodded.

"I will come in few minutes." He said looking at Sush and Arthi and they immediately went outside to wait.

"I really don't want to go but these seminars are really important and I need to give the speech." He said placing Angel in the baby trolley.
