Tune into Love : 7. At my worst.
*Click here for the previous chapter...(6)*
Neil approached Neha, "Are you ok? I rushed here when I heard you on the phone, talking about going to hospital", he said, scanning whether she's hurt anywhere.
"I am alright Neil, can we talk later, I've to urgently reach my office", Neha tried to dodge the situation.
"Yes, absolutely, I will drop you there", he said, in an affirmative tone.
"It's ok, I will take a cab, my office isn't closeby. I don't want to trouble you with it", Neha scrupled as she replied.
"We were classmates once, Neha, I can be of some help for sure", Neil sternly said.
Neil's gaze was intense once again. Neha wavered and said, "Ok, please drop me then".
"Can I call you baby?
Can you be my friend?
Can you be my lover up until the very end?
Let me show you love, ohh, I don't pretend,
Stick by my side, even when the world is giving in...." (song by Pink Sweats)
Neil's mind was ambiguous with thoughts similar to the song. He asked for Neha's office address and started the navigation mode. Neha, this time, in broad daylight, looked around the inside of the car. It was a luxurious one. The shinny dash board was full of colourful buttons, touch pads and panels. She had never travelled in such a car before (the drive, on the party night, didn't count, as her state was inexplicable).
She looked at Neil, who, even now, was dressed in branded clothes. She assessed herself, the divide was huge. "How could she even think of loving him?", her mind mocked her.
"Why was Neil taking interest in her life? What were his intentions? He had disappeared 4 years ago, then why is he back?", Neha wanted to know all this, but was faltering to speak.
"Oh oh don't you worry, I'll be there whenever you want me,
I need somebody who can love me at my worst,
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth,
'Cause it's you, nobody new, I put you first,
And for you girl, I swear I'll do the worst..."
"Have you calmed down a little Neha?", Neil asked.
Neha nodded her head in a yes.
"Why did you go to the hospital....If I may ask?", he questioned.
Neha sighed, "My dad's admitted.....since four years now", she controlled her tears.
Neil wanted to hold her hand and assure her, that he would be there, but he reined his feelings. He wanted Neha to open up to him first. He was ready to wait this time.
"If you stay forever, let me hold your hand,
I can fill those places in your heart, no one else can,
Let me show you love, ohh, I don't pretend,
I'll be right there baby, you know, I'll sink or swim....
I need somebody who can love me at my worst...."
