"Good Morning" wished Rrahul patting Helly's head who was busy rubbing off her sleepy eyes.
Not getting any response, Rrahul wished her again, but this time with more sweetness, "Good Morning Sweetheart"
"Don't call me sweetheart..." retorted back Helly, "...You fooled me"
"When?" Rrahul asked back thoughtfully. His one hand still patting her head while other pinching her cheeks.
Helly slapped his hand off her cheek. "You tricked me into confessing my feelings", she complained.
"Oh... I had no other choice. You see you were extremely reluctant" said Rrahul moving back and crisscrossed his legs, making himself more comfortable.
"So? You'll trick me into it?" Asked back Helly in annoyance. She held the sofa cushion and threw it at him.
"Okay, I am sorry..." Rrahul shifted towards her, held her hand in his, "....I apologize......" he said again but words fell on her deaf ears.
".....Fine I'll won't trick you into anything again...." Rrahul leaned down more to look at her face but Helly looked away in response.".....Fine I'll give you chance to trick me....." She pursed her lips in annoyance.
".....Come on now don't keep this grumpy face on. I know you love me" said Rrahul and finally he succeeded in making Helly look towards him.
"Wrong" said Helly shortly.
"Okay You are in love with me" Rahul corrected himself.
"No.." Helly cut in again.
".....Madly in love with me....." Rrahul corrected himself again but this time Helly didn't respond.
"....You love me from moon to back...""Only concerned about yourself" said Helly narrowing her eyes.
"No. It's my faith in your love for me. I don't know about yours" Rrahul comprehended his honest thoughts into word therefore sealing his girl's lips.
"I don't believe in words Rrahul, I believe in action and my actions will give you an idea how much I love you" said Helly and planted a soft kiss on his forehead.
"So will my actions" Rrahul affirmed and reciprocated her gesture.
"Now straighten up or you'll get back ache leaning down" said Helly and lightly pushed him up.
"I wish I had a bit of height" mumbled Helly pursing her lips.
"I think it's perfect" said Rrahul and nudged his forehead with hers.
"I hope..." He started saying while turning her around, "....you didn't get a back ache while sleeping on the couch the whole night...." He massaged her shoulder with his thumbs, ".... I asked you to sleep in my room. I would have occupied here. I am very versatile"
"No, I am not going to enter your room before marriage" said Helly and leaned her back against him.
"Are you sure we are going to get married?" Asked Rrahul biting his inner cheek. He then rested his chin on her shoulder.
"Ofcourse" replied Helly confidently.
"And if you don't...." She continued, "....I will forcefully get married to you and then you have to handle two wives""How come two wives?" Asked Rahul.
"The one you'll get married if you don't marry me" explained Helly.
"I guess I won't" said Rahul thoughtfully.
"You won't?" Helly turned around slightly in awe.
"Let's be practical Helly.... Not until I am pressurized to. I mean my Dad will want me to settle and have a happy family" he said and looked towards his ladylove who embraced him with a bright smile.
