Hey everyone!!
Before reading the chapter, do pay attention to few things. Last chapter's response was too poor guys, I'm making out time for writing and updating the book but you aren't supporting me. The views are 1.5k+ but votes are less than 300. Don't make me feel low like this. If you aren't interested in the book then I will wrap it up within 2 chapters.
Hope you will give the expected response on this chapter.

Akshita dashed out of the room crying hastily. She tried wiping her tears but it couldn't be controlled. After what she saw there, her heart burnt into ashes. She couldn't believe the seen. Rudra promised to give a chance to their marriage, he was even doing efforts for what he said then what was that? Was his promise fake? He was lying to her till now?
She ran towards their room while rudra was following her.
"Akshu!! Listen to me akshu!"
She did give a heed and entered the room trying to shut the door but before that rudra confronted her. He held the knob and opened it.
"Akshu, it's not like you are thinking. Samaira called me. I thought she was in some problem." He spoke out in one go.
"ENOUGH!! Enough rudra!! Why do you think that i will always trust your lies? Why are you doing this with me? Why are you breaking my heart again and again? Whenever I start believing that we are together, you do something to make me realise that I'm wrong! What has I done that you are punishing me in such brutal way?"
She asked almost begging before him. Her voice breaking and stammering which tore his heart. He stepped near her but she shrugged off his approach.
"I didn't do anything akshu! Belive me__"
"Right! You didn't do anything. It's me, who came between you both. Because of me you both have to lie and face problems! I'm the problem!" She unreasonably blamed herself trying to make sense out of it. Her mind was blank as she couldn't deal with the pain.
Meanwhile rudra's heart was pacing with high speed. He was fearing like nothing, it was like his heart will come out of the chest in sometime. He wanted to scream loudly and tell her but she wasn't giving him a chance and her tears were not helping either.
"I had accepted everything. You wanted divorce and I agreed for that. You should have once clearly told me about your love for samaira. I would have happily gone far away but you chose to break me. Why did you fake promise me for continuing the marriage? To give a chance? Why did you raise my hopes? Why did you call yourself mine?" She broke down falling on her knees and crying out her frustration, pain and heart break.
Rudra sat down before her as he wiped her tears with fragility. He cupped her cheeks and made her look at him.
"I really mean it akshu! I truly poured all the efforts for continuing this marriage. I really mean it when I called myself as yours___"
"Why are you giving excuses rudra?? Why? Why are you again lying?"
"It's truth akshu, because.......I love you!"
He whispered the last line joining their foreheads. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he closed his eyes.
While akshita stared at him with wide eyes, unbelievably. Again he was playing with her feelings.
"I love you akshu! Maine koshish ki sab khatam karne ki lekin mere dil ne mujhe dhoka de diya. I don't know when did I fall for you so hard that there was no coming back. I never trusted in love and all but you taught me what is love. The first time I saw you, I had decided that will be last encounter but destiny had something else in store. It made me realise that, the love I'm finding is you."
He paused and looked at her then kissing on top of her head continued.
"Samaira and I were best friends. She proposed me but I never committed to her. I asked her to wait untill I develop feelings for her. I know, I'm at fault for not telling her about my marriage but what should i have done? My friends used to bully me. I told them that I'm married at the age of 14 and so can't look at any girl and that was the biggest mistake of mine. They used to pass dirty comments at me and it reached to the high limit."
He paused and held her hands in his ones. Akshita looked at him while he was rubbing her hands with his thumb. His own body was shivering remembering the days of his college. How depressed he was at some point.
"That time i realized how wrong this marriage was and none could be happy like this. I was determined to end this marriage once coming back so that both of us can live the life we want. When samaira again and again claimed her love for me i thought we can be together, maybe we are compatible for each other. I thought we will make it as I know her but never ever I accepted her advances."
He told pure heartedly and continued to tell more. "When I came back I was shocked to see your love. I read your letters. Never I thought someone can be in love without even seeing me for 15 years. It wasn't practical for me. I thought it was just because you stayed here and everyone always forced you with this loveless marriage. I did every possible thing to tell my heart that we will only suffer in this marriage but God knows when I fell in love with you. After this, I can't imagine myself without you akshu. I can't!! I LOVE YOU!"
By now both were in tears. Akshita was confused, she was scared to trust him again but when he explained everything, she could see the genuineness in his words. He wasn't lying.
As he said, she also suffered from the same condition as his. Her classmates also used to make fun of her marriage but her love for him was stronger than anything other and she never considered their comments.
"Akshu please belive me! Whatever you saw was samaira's plan. She wanted to create misunderstanding. Please don't prove her right. I can't afford to lose you." He begged as his voice broke her trance.
She looked at him. Now her heart was at peace, maybe again she was trusting him but she avoided the feeling and shrugged off his hands.
"No! I need time for all these. I trusted you enough rudra. I don't want anymore heartbreak. I don't want to suffer more."
Her words remain half spoken as he held her arm and pulled her over him. Akshita bumped with his hard chest as she took hold of his shoulders to stabilize.
"Take as much as time you want but don't think that, I'll let you go. I'm not gonna leave you. You are mine till the last breath. You want to punish me then do it but don't ever think of leaving me." He firmly stated, tightening his grip over her shoulders.
She kept looking at him silently as their faces closer to each other. His breathe fanning over her lips as their noses brushing again each other while foreheads joined together. Rudra traced his palm from shoulder to neck and pecked a light kiss on her lips which indeed shocked her.
She struggled to free from his cage as his action was weakening her more.
"Leave me rudra!"
"No!" He whispered huskily and hugged her hiding his face in her neck as akshita felt goosebumps arising on her body by his hot breathe. A lone tear left her eyes as she felt frustrated due to the confusion. Her heart always wanted this but the unfolded events had turned everything blank.
