Wishpered Promises Of LoVE

Will you marry me??

The sound of sobs were resonating in each corner of the room.
   In the vast room...two people were seen hugging each other closely..as if their life depended on one another.
   Both were trying to find their lost solace into each other's arms.
  Who says,"Out of sight, out of mind"? Because it certainly was not applicable for this love brids. They proved that not every quotation is right.
    The first and foremost logic of Love is...it has no certain logic at all. Love is a magic for those who knows how to treasure it.
   The same goes for our Azel and Rehan...who were currently lost in their Loveland...pouring out their hearts to their beloved.
   "Shh...love, I'm here with you. And I ain't going to leave you here alone again...no matter what happens,"Rehan tried to console her. Although his own eyes were shedding tears...tears of pain...tears of yearning...tears of love.
   But he can't see her in such condition. Her one single droplet of tear pierces his heart.
   And here she was crying miserably...breaking his heart into uncountable pieces.
  "I...I can't...can't stay without...you. I lo...love you ,"Azel sobbed hard...hiccuping in between. Till today she was trying her best to hide her emotions from him...thinking it would make him feel sad.
   She even thought of various scenarios about this day...when he will come back...he will be in front of her eyes. He will be so close to her, that she will be able to touch him whenever she wants. The day when, she will be able to hug him once again.
   She thought of so many things to do with him...they had so much more to experience together. She had promised herself that she would not shed tears in front of him...she will only stay happy...really very happy with him. But finally when that day has come...all her promises that she did with herself...all the imaginations she thought about...felt came crashing down upon her.
    She knew, she was weak in controlling her emotions...but she never had any idea that she was this much of an emotional being. Today, she was feeling so many emotions altogether..that were too hard to describe in words.
  She was too happy...yet she was sad. She was in so much pain...yet she felt blessed. She wanted to say so many things with him..but all she could do was to cry.
   "I know, sweetheart..I know. I love you too, my Babygirl. Please don't be like this. I can't see you in tears,"he attached both of their foreheads...taking deep breaths to calm down their tensed nerves.
   He was cupping her face while caressing both of her cheeks.
   "Re..it's..it's hard...without you. It's too hard for me to go on. I want you with me 24/7. I...I need you in every sphere of my life. I want to stay around you...all the time. I want to see you everyday...but not through video calls...rather in person.
   I...can't...I just can't act to be fine anymore when in actual I'm breaking apart without you. I'm tired...too tired to keep smiling...when all I feel is crying my eyes out. I can't lie to you anymore about my being absolutely fine. I'm not fine, Re..I'm not fine at all.
   Without you nothing feels fine...every other thing suffocates me. Nothing goes right without you...nothing can go right when you aren't with me.
   Because you are the only reason why I am..who I am. And I'm nothing without you, my Lunatic,"Azel expressed all the bottled up feelings she has been suppressing inside her for the past two years.
   Hearing her talks, tears started streaming down from Rehan's eyes...which had never stopped falling at the first place.
   This time Azel also cupped his cheeks,"I don't like to see you in tears, Re,"she softly wiped his tears as if he were a baby whereas, she, herself was still sniffling and hiccuping from crying so much.
    "So do I, my Princess,"Rehan too wiped her tears before placing soft kisses on both of her eyelids.
   She was closing her eyes in ecstasy....feeling his love after such a long time felt so heavenly.
   She opened her eyes feeling the touch of a soft fabric on her cheeks,"What're you doing, Lunatic?"
  She tried to stop him...from whatever he was trying to do.
   But Rehan kept on doing his work. He was wiping her face with the sleeve of his shirt.
   "Nothing, just cleaning the face of my Crybaby who has smudged the kohl into her whole face,"he laughed seeing her reactions at his teasings.
   "So what? Only you're looking at my messed up face...so there's no problem,"Azel said without a care.
   "That's because, only I can look at you in your every form, madam,"Rehan stated proudfully.
   Azel smiled at his possessiveness,"Oh, is that so?"
   "Of course, only this Lunatic can look at his Wild Cat from upto this close...even with her messy face,"he gave her a bright smile.
   Azel could not help but blush hearing him...but suddenly her eyes fell onto the white sleeve of his shirt where the black kohl was smeared now. She facepalmed herself at his silly actions.
   "What happened?"Rehan asked getting confused at her acts.
  Azel held his that hand which had kohl on the sleeve and showed it to him,"See what did you do? It's a white shirt...and in no way, the stain of this kohl will go away from here even after washing it."
   "I know...my Love. I don't even want this stain to go away...because these are your tears. I didn't have anything with me to preserve those precious pearls...that's why, I soaked them into my shirt in order to treasure those yearnings, those happiness, those pain, those unsaid feelings which you shed in the form of your tears."
   "Do you know the fact that, I must have done something great to get you in my life?"Azel looked deeply into his eyes...making him to fall for her more deeply.
   She took his both hands from her cheeks before placing kisses at his knuckles.
   "And do you know that it's actually contrary?"Rehan tucked a few hairstrands behind her ear which were disturbing his view to see his Wild cat.
    Azel blushed hard hearing him.
  "Why are you this adorable, hmm?"Rehan could not help but say it. He pressed her head to his chest...caressing her silky hair.
   "I am not going back to Oman once again,"he informed her...making her to tighten her hold on him.
   She snuggled more into him if that was possible,"But...but the company there? Will uncle agree?" She dreaded asking him this question.
   Only she knows how badly she wanted the answer of this question to be in affirmative...to be in their side.
   "I've finally handled everything there. And I've appointed one of my trusted man as the acting CEO of the company there.
   I'll have to go there...but occasionally just to keep everything in check. I've promised Dad that we are not going to repeat the mistake from last time which led us to the almost bankruptcy.
   The people who betrayed us...got their share of punishment. And I'm sure nobody would want to mess with me again,"Rehan said dangerously...shiver ran down Azel's spine.
   She knew her Lunatic...usually he is the most soft and sweetest person anyone can ever find. But he can be the most dangerous man as well if anyone thinks of double crossing him. Azel broke the hug as she looked at him intently.
   "What did you do with them?"She asked him.
   "Don't worry, I didn't take the law in my hands. But yeah, I made sure that none of them are going to get any job in any other company ever in the future."
     Azel's eyes widen hearing him,"But what about their families, Re? I agree whatever they did was wrong...but what's the fault of their family members? They must've children..old parents at home. How can you do this with those innocent people?"
   "And what about my family? Did they think their betrayals led my family on the verge of bankruptcy. Dad almost had a heart attack.  
    Due to the severe loss of that branch, the main branch here in London is still suffering in the share market.
   And me? I had to leave my everything here and to fly there in a short notice. I only had four months to compensate all the shareholders for their losses...just because my so called subordinates sold the important formula over which we  were working for 4 long years. I had to pay greatly for their greed. I can never how you bid me goodbye the last timd. Every night your tear stained face used to haunt me. Everyday your pale face and puffy eyes used to scream at me about the tears that you shed secretly in my absence. I wanted to see you graduating...I had so many plans about that. I had thought of proposing you on your graduation day.
   But look at my ill fate...I wasn't even here when you took the graduation certificate in your hands...proposing you  then only stayed in my dreams.
   I wanted to drop you on the first day of your work...and then wanted to wait in front of your office to take you out on a long ride...like we always used to do earlier.
   But till today I don't even know where you work. I wasn't here to hug you tightly and wish you all the best..when you stepped into your job life.
   I wanted to be the one to bring a marriage proposal to your parents...but instead of me, some other guy brought it here asking for your hand in marriage. I would've gone crazy if uncle*(Azel's Dad)* would've agreed about it.  The fear of losing you always kept bugging me.
Only because of them, I had to stay without you...without my family. So, how could I leave them without any punishment?"Rehan seethed in anger.
Azel sighed...knowing how hard it was for Rehan to handle everything all alone at that time. Whatever he said was right...and she knows very well how he felt at that time...cause she was going through that same phase.
   "But it isn't right giving someone's punishment to someone else, is it? Think about the kids at least,"Azel pleaded.
   "Why are you like this?"Rehan asked her being helpless...why she was this good? Sometimes her this nature scares Rehan the most...because this world is too cruel for an innocent soul like her.
   Azel smiled hearing him,"Don't worry, I've you with me to protect me from anything and everything." 
  She answered the unasked doubts bubbling inside his head. He looked at her with a smile this time...he doesn't know how this girl can always read him like an open book...when he, himself doesn't know when he is thinking what?
   Maybe that's the way she loves him.
  "And what if ......"before Rehan could finish his sentence, Azel kept her hand over his mouth.
   She gave him a death glare,"Don't you dare think of finishing that line what you wanna say. Otherwise I'll break your nose,"she threatened him..making him laugh at his crazy Wild cat.
   "Don't laugh. I'm serious about this."
  "Without you, there would be no existence of me. Always remember that as long as Azel is breathing...Rehan will always have to be there. Or else, Azel will really stop her breathing...because life has no meaning to her without her Lunatic in that,"as soon as Azel said that...Rehan hugged her once again.
  "Shut up...don't talk nonsense . I don't want to lose you ever, Azel. You're my everything. No matter what happens I won't let anything to separate us ever.
   People always say that they could die for their love...but YOU ARE THE KIND OF LOVE TO ME THAT I WISH TO LIVE FOR...as long as an eternity,"Rehan professed his feelings in a mere wishper...if not for the silence that was prevailing in the room...Azel might not have heard the most beautiful words that her Lunatic just said to her.
   "Will you marry me, Lunatic...right now...right at this moment?"Out of the blue Azel proposed the idea of getting married...taking Rehan by utter surprise.
