Abhinav's POV 

So, my work went well. It was evening and I realized that Mihika was at my home just for Miya's sake. I blushed. She stood there rightfully as my companion, and soon-ish wife. I commanded my driver to reach drive home fast. I was excited to see Mihi's face after freaking 8 hours. Author, you again made me sound so desperate, I have some respect also. 

I entered inside the house to see both of my lifelines laughing wholeheartedly. What I could infer is that Miya cracked some lame joke on me, which was so funny for Mihi. I tapped on Mihi's shoulder, and she turned to face me. She stood up and maintained her spoilt hair. She was becoming conscious in front of me? Woah! 

Miya bid us adieu and went to her room for completing some college stuff. Now, just me and my Mihi. 

"Umm, actually, the boy who came early today to pick up Miya is kind of her brother. In her college, rakshabandhan was celebrated, and she tied the sacred thread on the boy's wrist. So, you can relax now." she even cleared that thing which was out of my conscious mind. Am I sounding like a love sick puppy? 

Suddenly, her expressions changed, and she held my arm. We were in my room- I name it our room. She pinned me to the wall. 

"Mihi" she placed her finger of my lips. 

"Listen to me or rather answer me. Do you like Anshika?" she asked. Her eyes held unknown emotions. 

"I like her, I really do." I could see her expressions changing , "She is a good co-star to work with. Why do you ask so?" I continued. 

"No- nothing." she replied and left me. I held her wrist and pinned her to the door, her arms securely in my hands. 

"I don't like incomplete conversations." I talked sternly. 

"So, you want me to continue it?" she asked with a smirk and I nodded.  She got a hold of my face and moved terribly closer. 

"I am not going to kiss you mister, until, you permit." she whispered in my ear. 

"What?" I was confused. 

"So, you were this close with Anshika, right?" she spoke out of jealousy and made me hug her from her back. She performed so many scenes of the sole movie I did with Anshika. 

"Are you not feeling anything?" she asked. 

"Are you jealous?" I shot another question. This conversation wasn't closing. 

"Let's get crystal clear. Do you have feelings for me?" she asked me, so s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d l y.

"What?" I was surprised, confused and what not. 

"Answer the question damn it!" she growled. 

I don't know what I understood and what I didn't. Maybe, this was the right time for the confession or else I may lose her forever. I held her palms in mine and looked at her beautiful eyes. No cheesy lines, just what's in my heart. 

"You were my savior when even my advocate couldn't help. You are the sole reason of my current happiness and, of course, you're the only person who rules my heart and happiness. Let's not stretch it further. I just want to say that I will be there for you when you would fall due to your past. I won't budge when you would deny me to help you. Because, Mr. Arrogant has fallen for his Miss. Strict Sen." I tried not to make it cheesy but realistic.

"I love you too Abhinav. I realized it today only, but I didn't want to wait. I had a fear that history would repeat itself and I would fall in life like my mother. Will you accept me with my past?" she replied with moist eyes.
