PRESENCE - MAKES YOU OR BREAKS YOU

68

As we reached , darsh disclosed one more thing that my dad is at his house waiting for me . My heart thud as his words fell out of his mouth . I guess they all want to kill me on my birthday , like too many surprises for my liking . Why the hell everything is happening today ? Like why just today . She is lost in her own world but as darshan pat on her shoulder , she shockingly looks at him

Darsh - relax , why are you panicking . It's your dad not some dracula

Shweta looked at darsh with disbelief like how can he make jokes in such situation . She was nervous , like she knows it's her dad but enough of drama has already happened and grasping more was not her cup of tea . Darsh hold her hand , but that moment she was filled with the complete guilt that he lost his love because of yash , and it was in her hands that she can correct his mistakes . So she takes her hand out of his hold and rang the bell of his apartment . He looked at her and knew where she was most likely leading everything that happened today . But thankfully for her rescue Kritesh opened the door . They get , but she was sweating badly and shivering . As rish saw her that she's panicking he came to her and made her sit down on the couch

Rishab - you fine ? What's wrong shweta , relax for me ,count numbers , wait I'll bring you water

Shweta held his hand - I just need you , nothing else . Please , how could he do this ?

Rishab - I wanted to kick his ass because he was trying to destroy your love . And I know how to bring him on the right path . You must be tired , uncle has slept so talk with him in morning ( he kissed my forehead and keeping the hands over Darshan's shoulder he was about to leave when darshan stopped him )

Darsh - rish bhai it's very late , just stay here for the night . And waise bhi in the morning while shweta speaks up with uncle she will need you by her side

Rishab - I guess you are mistaken then , because she has you by her side

We both looked at each other . And the very next moment shweta averted her gaze . Uncle was sleeping in guest room . Dad in his own , so Rishab and Kri got in one room . They both left us alone , but first time there was indescribable silence between us . Don't know what she was thinking , but I hope that she doesn't take up any wrong decision in all this drama . It was needed to break that silence

Darsh - shweta , you sleep in the bedroom , I'll get on the couch here

Shweta - darshan

Darsh cut her in mid - you better listen to me , because right now you don't want me to be with you

His words hit me hard - okay

Darshan's thoughts - " She got inside the bedroom , and closed the door . She's gonna cry hard , but silently . Don't know what's going on in her mind , and how I should stop it . I was feeling helpless that time , like everything once again is slipping out of my hands . I was hoping that she doesn't think anything in wrong way or do anything that's will give her pain . I got up from the couch and went to my room . I almost thought for 5 minutes before knocking the door . But after that I just did it "

Shweta's thoughts - " I wanted to scream and cry out . But any of the latter was not possible . His face is coming again and again in front of her eyes . But she's seen the love in her eyes for him . And after knowing everything how can I snatch someone's happiness . I always want darshan to be happy . And if his first love comes into his life then what else would be better than this . My chain of thoughts break as I hear the knock , I know who it is but yet I didn't have enough courage to face him but taking a deep breath I got up from the bed and went to door and opened it "

For the first ever time she was afraid to face him , because they were at the point in this relationship that he knows her feelings just by looking at her . And today she didn't want him to read her face , or even bother what I'm feeling right now . She gulped hard ,and in nervousness she started playing with her fingers , darsh comes in front of her and placed his hands over her and squeezed them . That's it , I loosed it again

Darsh - how surprising it is , the girl who didn't even thought before kissing me is nervous in front of me . Is avoiding the eye contact with me , and hiding her face . Shweta look up

But nothing bothered her she was trying to get of the grip of my hands , she struggled but failed . After a time she stopped trying , and still her gaze was tilted to that floor and he left her hands

Shweta - darshan I'm ... I'm sleepy ( she spoke out still looking at the floor and stuttering with words )

Darsh - you can sleep , I'll wait here . When you want to talk tell me , and if not then I'll wait all my life for you

He was making it difficult for her . He knew she won't speak so easily . She was controlling her tears . And specially because she didn't want him to see her in this condition . She felt weak again because her love once again gave her the unbearable pain . Tear rool down her cheek , she was about to wipe it away but darshan do it

Darsh - how can you even think I'll go away from you just because I got to know that whatever nitya did was just because yash bhai asked her to do it . I didn't wanted to say it this way but I don't have a choice ( He held her hands and intervene them . Looks deep in her eyes and speak up ) I LOVE YOU

She felt her breath stop , shivers run down her spine . She felt goosebumps over her body . His eyes portray a promise of love , promise of care , promise to be their with her always , always being beside her till eternity . Pure love was seen in his eyes . She didn't know how he got to know what she was thinking . But it ached her heart that how can she even think that way . To distance him from herself . She hugged him and darshan smiled

Shweta - I LOVE YOU TOO

These words left her mouth . They both were in each others arms , she felt the warmth and her every pain flew away . His smile was not ready to leave his face and her tears where flowing freely . She realised its been long she is like this , she tries to step back when he pull her back . She collide with his chest , her hair bangs came on her face because of the pull . They both were looking into each others eyes with pure admiration . The love was clearly seen in their eyes . Her hands were over his bare chest , and his wrapped around her waist . Helding her gaze darsh pulled her more closer to him . He leaned forward , and traced her lips with his finger . With his touch her heart was beating louder than before . He could hear those raising heart beats , their eyes were shining with love . Their eyes held so many emotions , darsh cupped her face . He leaned more to her , and in anticipation she closed her eyes . Darsh smiled , his hands slowly went down through her curves to her waist . And he placed his lips over her . Her rosy lips slowly started moving with his . That held on so many things together , their love , passion and most importantly how each others PRESENCE in their lives changed their lives . How their PRESENCE in each others lives filled their lives with love . Shweta pulled him more to her , she shuffled her hands through his hairs . Darsh sensed she is out of her breath so darsh broke the kiss . They both were breathing heavily , shweta wasn't able to look at him . Darsh pulled her ,

Darsh - what happened to be Mrs.Shweta Darshan Raval ( her body heat up with his words , and that made her look at him in his eyes ) this shy smile , blushy cheeks , everything suits you ( she playfully hit his chest ) aree , what ?

Shweta - just stop it

Darsh leaned to her ears and kissed her earlobe and whispered in her ears - HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE

Shweta hide her face in his chest so that he can't see her blushy cheeks that have turned crimson red . She spell out , " THANKS " . He kissed her forehead and left the room . They both slept with smiles on their faces .
