......We all were speechless but then Rahul laughed out loud.

"Rahul?" I asked him out of curiosity.

"Aarohi..(in between laughter) what has happened to him behind my back? Look at him. He looks like a scaredy cat." He laughed again mischievously.

"Vivek" now he sounded warm. He put his hands on his arms and continued "you do not need to apologise. You did not do anything wrong. Your actions were justified. If I were at your place, I'd have done the same." He looked at the ground and exhaled. "I know it was my helplessness, but I am at fault." He again spoke genuinely looking into his eyes. "If I'd have been a little more courageous..we would have met a long time ago. I am sorry."

"Ra..." Vivek tried to say something but Rahul interrupted him.

"No. You won't stop me. I should be apologising to everyone of you and a lot of people outside as well."

They both hugged each other and smiled warmly.

"Uncle" Rahul turned towards Sehgal uncle "I want to reveal my truth to everyone. I no longer want to hide. Its a headache." He spoke with determination.

"But how can we do this so suddenly? People will make things up and talk behind our back" Uncle was shocked on his sudden confession.

"I don't care anymore uncle. I just want to live freely now. Enough with running and hiding away" his expressions showed his desperation.

Uncle exhaled and spoke in his as usual fatherly tone, "I understand beta. But you need to understand too. This will be a very shocking truth so we can't reveal it like this all of a sudden. We would have to make a story. We can't narrate them the story you've told us. Just give me a few days and I'll handle everything" Rahul nodded his head in acknowledgement.

After a few more conversations and friendly chit-chat,  Uncle and Vivek left for their place and the two of us were left alone in my house.

I had mixed feelings going on in my mind. I couldn't believe if Rahul was actually standing in front of me or its just a dream. I was emotionally overwhelmed and extremely nervous. My heart was beating really fast as if it'd come out of my chest. But at the same time, I was elated to see that three years of my sadness and loneliness had come to an end. I just wanted this time to stop forever now, so we could recover all the three years together that we had lost.

I held his hands tightly, and never ever wanted to let it go. Rahul understood my anxiety and softly freed his hands from mine and held my face.

He said," I'm never going to do anything like that again. I know that no amount of apologies can bring back the time we have lost. Nothing can bring back the memories that we could've made together during all that time But I promise I'll try my best to fulfill at least 40per cent of those lost memories. We will make new memories setting aside these horrible three years."

I was smiling at his words. I kissed his hand softly and he kissed my forehead as a reply. We were staring into each other's eyes never wanting to lose the connect.

I know I was supposed to be angry at him and punish him for what he did but what to do! I was so in love with him that nothing could stop me from forgiving him at once and be together again forever until death do us apart.
