Chapter 33

• Leka pov,
• There was a complete silence between us. There was a look of confusion on his face as soon as I told him I had heard everything he said to the gowri. He stared at me without saying anything. But, from his look itself, I understood that he was thinking something deeply. I removed his hand from the face and turned to go to grandma house, but he kept his hand on my shoulder and told me pleadingly,
• “Lekuu.. I think you have not heard fully what I said to gowri. It was my fault for sharing with her about our private matter. Everything is my fault. I understand very well why you can't forgive me. Even I can't forgive myself when I think of the atrocities I have committed against you. You have every right to hate me. I did not come here to ask you to love me or not to hate me, but please take me with you leku wherever you go. I will live my life with satisfaction of being near you. If you want me to punish me for everything I have done to you, then I ready accept it also. Give me whatever punishment you want, but please don’t leave me alone. Please leku.”
