Chapter 70 - Jason meeting Eva

Eva POV:

I reached home and went directly to the room. I locked the room. I remembered my past - My marriage to him, his torture, love+anger, his surprises+possessiveness. He doubted and punished me. He insulted me by offering money for spending a night with him. I closed my eyes tightly to stop the tears which want to find their way. No, I don't want to cry. I am not weak.

I stayed one year with him. Ninety per cent of my days were filled only with tears, and there were only a few days where I was happy. I didn't expect life to be sweet all the time. However, at least I expected to have someone by my side to lean on when I am sad, to share my fears and feelings, to openly say my flaws and someone who trusts me completely. Jason had never done any of these.

I felt empty and lonely, though I was with him. A person can never be happy when you decide what makes them happy instead of allowing them to choose their happiness.

If we love a person, we need to give them what they are expecting and what they need actually. Jason, do you know what was that which gives me happiness? It's nothing but your love. Not child, not money, not the success. When will you understand this, Jason? Even today you were showing your authority and right on me instead of love. I closed my eyes to control my tears.

No, Eva! You should be strong. You should not waste your tears unnecessarily. Be strong. You should win your love, and this is the only way for that. Sometimes you need to be a bit tough. Let him understand his fault. Don't give in so easily. Don't let your heart melt so quickly. You are not insulting him. You are just making him a better person. I told these lines to myself.

I heard door knocking sound. I opened the door.

"Rio!"

"How are you, Eva?" he asked me.

"I am ok but why are you asking me like that?"

"Are you ok? After all, you saw your Jason after six months. I can understand how tough it is to be that harsh with the one whom you love the most," he said slowly.

"Hmm," I said, and I remembered Jason's anger.

He might be very angry with me. I can't imagine how rude he will be right now. I hope he won't be mad with me forever and my behaviour won't affect my relationship with him further.

"Rio, I feel sleepy. Good night!" I said to him, and he left. I lay on the bed thinking about my Jason.

Jason POV:

I returned home and went straight to my room. I threw everything on the table.

How could she ask me to take the appointment to talk to her? How could she be so careless while talking to me? I know I did wrong, but still, I am her husband. When I said I am her husband; she answered me saying that she will divorce me. Hell, she became mad. I closed my eyes to calm down.

I remembered her scaring for me, even if I raise my voice. She never used to answer me back nor hurt me anytime with her words. How could she be this rude to me now?

I again remembered her tears, asking me where she should go and fainting on the road when she left home. After all, she just told me to take an appointment, but I made her a servant at home and office too. Maybe I deserve this.

I controlled myself and then called Maya to book an appointment with her the next day. Maya called me again saying that tomorrow her schedule is hectic and gave the appointment on day-after-tomorrow.

On that day, I got ready and went to her office. Her PA called me. I knocked on her cabin door.

"Yes, come in!" she said.

I went inside. Eva gave a typical look to me.

"Please take your seat, Mr Jason Heymonds," she said.

I sat on the chair before her crossing my legs.

"Tell me. You took the appointment to talk to me for five minutes. You can talk now," Eva said.

"I need a job," I said.

"What?" she asked shockingly. Now her true emotion came out.

"Yes, as we lost many projects because of your company, my company was on the verge of bankruptcy. So I thought it would be better if I get a job here," I said.

"That's not my fault. Success or failure depends upon the efforts we put through," she said.

"Tell me are you going to give me a job or not?" I asked again.

"This is not the way to ask for a job. Moreover, there is no vacancy in my company. You may go now," she said earnestly.

"This is my way of asking for a job. If there is no vacancy, create one and appoint me. I am ready to work as your PA too," I said.

"Mr Jason, just leave now without irritating me much, or I will call the security," she said.

"I need no security. I can save myself, baby," I winked while calling her as a baby.

"Just leave now, Jason!"

"No, not without you," I said.

"Oh! So, you came here to take me with you. How much are you going to pay for me this time, Jason," Eva said, making me close my eyes to control my tears.

"I am sorry, Eva. Please, I am sorry. I behaved like that with a purpose," I said holding her hands on the table. She jerked my hand.

"I am not a toy, Jason, to throw me out whenever you want and to take me home whenever you like. I am a human. I too have feelings," she said seriously.

"Eva please......."

I tried to say something.

"Your time was over, Jason. Leave now," she said.

"I won't give up on you so easily, Eva. I know I am wrong. But, I love you, and you are mine forever. Bye for now," I said.

Suddenly, cabin door was opened, and Rio entered the room. He saw me.

"I will come after sometime," Rio said.

"It's ok, Rio. Please, come in," she said, and he sat on the chair beside me.

I don't know why but I didn't leave from there.

"I already said you to leave, Mr Jason," Eva said looking at me.

I controlled my anger and left from there.

How can I win her heart again? I can't lose her. I can't live without my Eva. I should talk to her once and assure her that I will never hurt her again.
