Netra:

I didn't speak anything.

Jeevith held my hands and kissed my palm. I closed my eyes, feeling the touch of his lips.

"I want to know you, Netra. But how can I when you hide everything from me? Give me a chance to know you, understand you, and love you forever."

"I am sorry, baby, for speaking that way to you. I shouldn't have spoken that way to you," Jeevith said.

I didn't react because it might be his habit to insult me several times, but still, I am not habituated to accept insults.

"Your silence is killing me. Speak something," Jeevith said again.

"Leave me alone," I said...
