Eternal Bond

Chapter:- 6

Haan tujhe dekhta raha
Kissi khwab ki tarah
Jo ab samne hai tu
Ho kaise yakeen bhala

Toota Joh Kabhi Taara

The truth is, love can be messy, and it can leave you confused about how exactly to navigate this overwhelming emotion that's overtaken your head and heart.

Avantika couldn't believe to what he said. The feelings you're craving for; when it suddenly comes to you it's just overwhelming. She didn't know how to react on his confession; the sincerity in his eyes and voice; that's all she needed. She throw her hands around his neck, snuggling into his warmth, her brimming eyes and little sobs on his neck pierce his heart, a surge to keep in his arms.

Being loved by someone you love creates a force of nature to be reckoned with. It is energizing. It feels amazing, and when it is new, it is a bit intoxicating and unbalancing, head-spinning. It feels like being in a whirlpool that doesn't drown you. She feels it now.

Rudra rubs her back in order calm her. After few minutes passed, she pulls back her head from his chest leaving his expensive crisp shirt wet with her tears; she wipes her tears with the back of her hands and look up with her slightly puffy, red big doe to match his orbs; she grinned.

Her behaviour forms crease on his forehead, surprises him due to sudden change in her mood. Not even a minute ago she was crying like a baby and now she's giving him her breathtaking smile.

"Are you okay, Eva?" Rudra's voice laces concern.

"Never felt this okay since dadi left me." She says smilingly. His stomach flips thousands time at her words. He is shut; doesn't know what to say next. He is searching something in her eyes because that's how he would know her state but this time all he could feel is happiness, relief and comfort. Like a white rose blossoms into its fairy essence- spreading her fragrance and most in the world.

"Stop looking at me like that day." She mumbles with blush scattering her cheeks.

"Which day?"

"The day you and I met officially."

"Hm?"

She nods, "You remember?"

"What?" He rasps.

"How your eyes fell on me so undistracted?" She asks palming neck side. She sucks a deep air relaxing her mind.

Rudra chuckles watching her nose twitch, "Eyes? My whole fucking being fell for you, Mrs. Rathore."

"I can't believe it." She breathe out unbelievably. It's still hard to digest that her crush, the man she fell in love with three years ago is confessing his love for her.

Their eyes collides like a rain drop strikes on the barren land, "Believe me, wife. Even the stars fell for you, how could I not?" He whispers huskily. Her heartbeat skip for a moment on his tenderness.

"Won't you ask me to whom I love?" Avantika asks in excitement. He never asked her whom she loves except the day she was fasting.

Rudra didn't know what to answer. The feeling of rejection is already playing in his heart. He just nodded his head.
