PriyAnkit : A Tale Of Hearts ❤️‍🩹

Part - 5

Ankit opened the diary with curiosity and was surprised to find that Priyanka had started writing it from the finale night itself. He began reading....

Priyanka's POV in the diary:

"I'm very sorry, Ankit, for my behavior today. I know you didn't expect this from me, but it was much needed. You don't know, Ankit, how much I wanted you beside me today. I have so many things to tell you, and I just wanted to sleep peacefully by holding you tightly."

After reading those lines, Ankit felt a surge of happiness knowing that Priyanka wanted him by her side and understood that she never wanted to stay away from him.

Ankit thought to himself,"But why didn't she stop me then?" He continued reading further in the diary

"Yes, Anki, I want you to stay with me, but I also don't want to stop you. Because, in the end, we both have to travel different paths in life as we have different opinions about marriage. I know you won't change your opinion about relationships and marriage for anyone. But for me, marriage is the most important thing in my life. I need a beautiful family for the rest of my life. I know in these two years we became each other's habit, and it's difficult to detach ourselves from this bond easily. But now it's important for us to set boundaries, especially for me. Yes, Anki, I don't want to become an emotional fool expecting a long-term relationship from you, as you have a different ideology about it."

Next Page :

"Today, I hung up your phone call in the midway of our conversation, but I'm helpless, Anki, because listening to your voice and words makes me feel weak. I don't want to fall weak again, so I avoided your calls. You don't know, Anki, how much the thought of avoiding you is killing me inside, but I have to maintain distance from you. I will try to control my emotions for you, and I won't stop you anymore from living your life. I have to move on from you, Ankit, for us, for myself, because I can't bear this emotional trauma anymore. I'm missing you so much, Anki. 🥺"

Ankit's heart sank as he read the line, "I have to move on from you, Ankit." He sat down heavily, the weight of Priyanka's words sinking in.

He connected each situation, her behavior on the finale night, avoiding their phone conversations, and now the incident during the shooting. Everything made sense now. Ankit understood the clear reason behind it all. Priyanka had been suffering silently, battling her own emotional trauma alone.

Shattered, Ankit realized the extent of Priyanka's pain. His heart ached as he pictured how deeply she must have cried while writing those words in the diary. The shaded letters on the pages spoke volumes about her inner turmoil and the immense struggle she faced.

Sitting there, holding the diary in his hands, Ankit felt a mix of emotions - sadness, empathy, and a profound sense of loss. He wanted to reach out to Priyanka, to comfort her, to tell her that he had changed and love her.

Deep down, Ankit also knew that he was the reason behind Priyanka's current condition. His introverted and inexpressive nature had worsened this situation. He understood that sometimes, expressing feelings in words is more important than actions alone to make someone feel special. Ankit had realized this during his time in the BB house, but he hadn't expressed it fully before getting evicted. After BB, he never had the chance to directly show Priyanka his changing side.

Ankit was shattered to learn that Priyanka wanted to give up on their bond. He knew that Priyanka had protected their bond for two years against all odds and had often prioritized his opinions over her emotions. Now, seeing her tired and deciding to step back from their relationship, he felt restless with these thoughts.

After some time, Ankit calmed himself down. He wiped his tears and took a deep breath. He realized that it was his turn to save their bond, and he wasn't ready to lose Priyanka at any cost. Ankit couldn't imagine his life without Pari now.

Ankit snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the door sound. He quickly placed the diary back into Priyanka's bag and stood as if nothing had happened. Pri came out of the room after changing. Her eyes were red and swollen. Seeing her eyes, Ankit understood that she had cried, and he felt his heart breaking seeing her face. He started a conversation:

Ankit: How are you feeling now?

Priyanka: Yeah, I'm feeling much better.

Ankit: Okay, let's have dinner together. I'm feeling very hungry.

Priyanka: No, I'm fine. I mean, I'm not hungry. You carry on.

Ankit: What? Look at your face, Pari. You're looking very weak. Eat something, then only you'll get proper sleep.

Priyanka: No, Ankit, I'm not hungry.

Ankit thought of a plan 😉

Ankit: Okay, then I also won't eat now. I'll sleep with an empty stomach tonight....... he said faking sadness

Priyanka: No need, you can eat. You said you're hungry, right? So don't do this, Anki.

Ankit: I don't know anything. I want to eat with you only, or else I'll sleep like this.

Priyanka: Hmm... Okay, I'll eat.

Ankit smirked happily because he knew that Priyanka care for him and wouldn't let him sleep without eating anything.

They had their dinner in complete silence. Pri ate only a little for Ankit's sake, and they finished their dinner. Now it was time to sleep, and as there was only one bedroom in the penthouse, they both had to share the same bed. Pri felt hesitant to sleep with Anki now, but deep down, she also wanted this. Ankit controlled his smile seeing Priyanka's cute cofusing face.

Finally, they both lay down on the bed, with a pillow wall between them. Ankit made faces seeing the pillow wall, but he had his plans *smirks*

After some time, Pri fell asleep quickly due to tiredness. Ankit pretended to sleep until Pri closed her eyes. Then, he removed the pillow wall between them and slowly pulled Pari close to him without disturbing her sleep. He made her sleep on his chest, holding her tightly around the waist, and kissed her forehead. Ankit felt peace after a long time. After a while, Ankit also fell asleep.

However, in the middle of the night, he was disturbed when he felt wetness on his chest. He immediately opened his eyes to see what had happened. He was shocked to see tears rolling down from Priyanka's eyes. His heart broke into pieces seeing Pari suffering in her sleep, unaware of herself. Ankit wiped her tears softly. He hugged her tightly and gently patted her back, reassuring her that he was there for her. After some time, the tears stopped falling, and Ankit felt relieved.

In that moment, Ankit promised himself that he would bring back his bubbly, happy, and expressive Pari. That night, PriyAnkit slept peacefully, holding each other.

That's the end of this part 🤗.
