Amaya snuggled in his arms as he continues to tighten his grip on her. If she has experienced miserable pain which love gives, in the last few weeks or so, with just one hug it all melted away. Amaya was alive again...whole again. On the other hand, Mantu...who till now just experienced the pain which loves gives, was experiencing immense pleasure and solace which love can only give. He needed it. The sense of fulfilment, the sense of completion, the sense of finding a soulmate which gives immense peace.
He thanked his Mahadev for fulfilling his very first and last wish. He broke down sobbing. Tears falling from his eyes forgot their destination in Amaya’s long, silky hair. Maybe they wanted to enjoy the journey without having a goal. He realizes that she understood him! He doesn't need to give her any explanation. Any answers. Their hearts already sorted out everything. They fought, they loved and they conquered.
After long moments, Mantu finally spoke up, "I...I can't do this anymore Amaya. I can't play these games… I can't stay away from....you...I can't wait… I can't control my feelings anymore...I can't... I just can't. I can't be this mean... rude... stupid... and just simply egoistic... person... I am not that type of a person Amaya. Trust me I am not. You were right...I changed... I was...brainwashed but now I'm in my senses...no...I am not...you don't allow me to...you just keep hovering around my head. I see you everywhere...when I sleep, eat, work, walk, slip, pray, everywhere...I am getting mad… I am falling in love with you...terribly, passionately and amazingly in love with you...I love you...I LOVE YOU AMAYA MATHUR...I love you...I love you...I..."
Mantu held her as tight as possible. He wanted to absorb her as much as possible. Amaya pulled herself from his embrace which he resisted. Even the smallest of distance between them seemed unbearable to him. Amaya smiled as she gently removes tears from his face and she brushes her hand in his muffled, messed up hair. Mantu looked at her intently and tightened the grip of his hands which were tied on her waist. After giving him a satisfactory hairstyle she caressed his forehead and removed all the sweat droplets.
She slowly brought herself forward as their foreheads touched. Mantu closed his eyes as his hands reached up to her face and cupped her face automatically. She smiled between her tears as she tip toed on her toes and leaned towards his ear as she whispered, "I love you too!" And kissed his left cheek ever so softly and smiled looking directly in his eyes.
Mantu was shocked or I should say pleasantly surprised by her sudden action. Amaya smiled cheekily between her sobs while Mantu comprehended what just happened. Amaya, his Amaya kissed him. It felt like heaven. So peaceful. Magical. Calm. Soft. Soothing. Amaya was still in his arms and slowly escaped and started walking towards her closest but she could never reach as Mantu caught hold of her wrist and pulled her back in his arms. She swirled and landed directly on his chest. "Do you really think I'll let you go, now?", whispered Mantu as Amaya without even looking in his eyes, placed her head on chest with her arms tightly wrapped around his waist. Mantu hugs her back as he closes his eyes. After a few long moments, Amaya softly said, "Thank you..." "For what?" "For being you...for being Mantu...my Mantu." Mantu smiles as he softly kisses her on her hair and again said, "I love you."
